    Occidental Dissent - May 30th 2021 7:17pm EDT

    This weekend isn’t just Memorial Day. It is 1 AF. Larry is back to scold most of you for what you are about to do this evening. Note: He is feeling stoked though for PRIDE MONTH 2021.

  • Axios: Prices Expected To Continue Rising This Summer

    Occidental Dissent - May 30th 2021 5:06pm EDT

    The spike in consumer prices and especially gas prices is temporary, but is expected to continue rising all summer. That’s what we are being told now. Axios: “Prices are expected to keep rising this summer, pushed up by bottlenecks for materials and labor, and surging consumer demand, Reuters reports. Why it matters: The “Memorial Day Weekend […]

  • American Greatness: CNN Loses Nearly 70% of Viewers Since Trump Left Office

    Occidental Dissent - May 30th 2021 3:37pm EDT

    You’re laughing. Reliable Sources is sinking … and you’re laughing. American Greatness: “Ratings from Neilsen Media Research reported Tuesday showed that CNN lost 67% of its total viewers since January, and according to The Daily Caller, its since Donald Trump left the White House. During the primetime hours of 8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. (EST), CNN lost around 65% […]

  • Willamette Week: Portland Protesters Chase, Tackle and Punch Someone They Believe to Be Andy Ngo Until He Hides in The Nines Hotel

    Occidental Dissent - May 30th 2021 2:45pm EDT

    Gay Andy is the most hated heretic in Portland. He has been engaged in blasphemy against Rose City Antifa. It is far to say that Andy is even more hated by them than even Ted Wheeler. KOIN 6: “The Portland Tribune has not independently confirmed the fleeing man’s identity, and Ngo did not immediately issue […]

  • What’s The Matter With Liberalism?

    Occidental Dissent - May 30th 2021 1:03pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. The libs are people like Thomas Frank, Bill Maher and James Carville. Woke progressivism is something new and much worse. It has none of the redeeming virtues of liberalism like tolerance or respect for civil liberties and free speech or skepticism or rational debate. These people have […]

  • The Food Wars Are Coming To America

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 10:37pm EDT

    I hadn’t given any thought to the issue until recently. It is one of those things like “trans” or gender fluidity. You grow up in a world where everyone agrees that men are men and women are women and there are mothers and fathers and it was common sense and a nonexistent issue until progressive […]

  • Libs of Tik Tok

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 6:59pm EDT

    Just reposting the video because the original one was deleted. pic.twitter.com/7cLG95NF3N — Libs of Tik Tok (@libsoftiktok) May 27, 2021 Ummm.. what?? ? pic.twitter.com/Kiv1Ou44bu — Libs of Tik Tok (@libsoftiktok) May 28, 2021 Uummmm… ok then… ? pic.twitter.com/y981pySZgl — Libs of Tik Tok (@libsoftiktok) May 28, 2021 ? this is painful pic.twitter.com/ne9OpBMDww — Libs of […]

  • The Guardian: Outrage and Delight As France Ditches Reliance on Meat In Climate Bill

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 5:05pm EDT

    Do you remember when we laughed at Burger Nationalism? Gradually, it dawned me that these people really are coming after our burgers and steaks. They really do want you to eat bugs and live in a pod which when you think about it that isn’t as extreme as some of their other ideas like instilling […]

  • The Atlantic: Democracy Defeated, 35–54

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 4:09pm EDT

    The grandstanding over the January 6th commission is nothing more than empty political theater like the original Stop the Steal rally which is only memorable because it unexpectedly spiraled into a riot. The way that the Democrats are dwelling on it months later is beating a dead horse. The Atlantic: “Three times in the past […]

  • Daily Mail: New Study Claims COVID-19 “Has No Credible Natural Ancestor”

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 3:16pm EDT

    If the lab leak theory is true and COVID-19 was created a lab, shouldn’t virologists have been able to tell by looking at the virus? Shouldn’t they have known it was created in a lab early on in the pandemic? Daily Mail: “An explosive new study claims that Chinese scientists created COVID-19 in a Wuhan […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Left’s War on Science

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 2:26pm EDT

    Unlike some people, I’m pleased with Tucker Carlson. Why should I have a problem with Tucker Carlson? He isn’t really making many points these days on his show which I disagree with. He also has the largest show on cable television. Carlson devoted an entire episode of his show last night to what he called […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Biden Betrays Promise For Student Debt Relief

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 12:57pm EDT

    It is worth taking stock of where we are at five months into the Biden administration: With the stroke of a pen, Joe Biden ended the Remain in Mexico policy and revoked Trump’s executive orders, which blew up the border With the stroke of a pen, Joe Biden ended work on the Keystone Pipeline Powered […]

  • Poll: More Americans Now Say Violent Crime Is a “Very Big Problem” Than COVID-19

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 12:02pm EDT

    Joe Biden is now the president. Progressive activists are now ascendant in the White House. They have the ear of the president who has already caved to them on refugee resettlement. The country is now seeing the fruits of their ideas like “Abolish ICE” and “Defund the Police.” Once again, it might have been worth […]

  • Poll: Half of Voters Support The Border Wall, Matching Record

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 10:49am EDT

    Did anyone ever call you a “high time preference” wignat? It never occurred to some of the geniuses of White Nationalism that allowing progressive activists to dictate American immigration policy for a few years might be an experiment worth trying. Maybe they would start doing things which are so unpopular with Independent voters that it […]

  • Abraham Foxman Is Done With The New York Times

    Occidental Dissent - May 29th 2021 12:41am EDT

    I am cancelling my subscription to NYTimes. I grew up in America on the NYT- I delivered the NYT to my classmates- I learned civics- democracy and all the news”fit to print” for 65 years but no more. Today’s blood libel of Israel and the Jewish people on the front page is enough — Abraham […]

  • VICE: Young, Male and Anti-Feminist – The Gen Z Boys Who Hate Women

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 9:24pm EDT

    I don’t hate women. I’m happily married. I love all the women in my family. I agree though that feminism has been an unmitigated catastrophe. It is leading to a pile up of social dysfunction. I’m a reactionary who supports traditional values over social liberalism. VICE: “One evening Marie opened her younger brother’s Oliver’s bedroom […]

  • Oregon Leaders Discuss Creating “Managed Villages” For Portland’s Exploding Homeless Population

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 6:25pm EDT

    Portland is the vanguard of woke progressivism. It the shining city on a hill that represents to the rest of the country and to the world what we can become after we successfully implement the progressive agenda. In Portland: You are required to have a vaccine passport to enter a church You have a culture […]

  • Poll: Majority of Americans Oppose Phasing Out Fossil Fuels

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 5:24pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. Climate change is a deeply polarizing issue. I became much more interested in the issue earlier this year after I began digging into the polling data on the divisions on issue priorities within the Democratic coalition. Take this poll which came out yesterday. It confirmed what I […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Chris Hayes Wrong On Lab Leak While Being A Partisan Hack

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 3:52pm EDT

    This is a big one to get wrong, Chris. You should have stuck with “we don’t know where the virus came from.”

  • Axios: Don’t Fear Inflation

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 2:46pm EDT

    This is another one of the Biden administration’s many experiments. How much spending can the federal government get away with without raising taxes to pay for it? How much funny money can the Fed inject into the economy before it overheats? Axios: “Inflation isn’t always and necessarily a bad thing. It’s one of many variables […]

  • Rising: David Sirota: Disproving Once And For All Biden Is FDR

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 1:38pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: Apparently, Rising is leaving The Hill next week, which makes sense since it is an interesting and valuable show. I take it that they are getting kicked off the corporate algorithm due to their success. They are humiliating Brian Stelter and Nicolle Wallace. PART 1 of BIG NEWS: @krystalball and me are leaving […]

  • Tucker Carlson: Stupid People Seized Control Of Our Country

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 10:40am EDT

    The entire world has grappled with COVID and the economic fallout of lockdowns over the past year. The United States, however, is grappling with an explosion in violent crime. Tucker Carlson is right that this has nothing to do with the pandemic. Black Lives Matter and the Great Awokening are the cause of the crime […]

  • MSNBC: Sen. Cruz Shares Far-Right Russian Propaganda Video To Attack Military

    Occidental Dissent - May 28th 2021 9:45am EDT

    Even if this were true and it was the Russians who successfully ridiculed Emma’s Calling, wouldn’t the implication be that woke progressivism is a national security threat? It would mean that Russia sees the proliferation of wokeness in the U.S. military as a vulnerability, right?

  • The Week: The Spiritual Challenge of Multiculturalism

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 11:52pm EDT

    Damon Linker has an interesting take on American history. The Week: “There are many ways to understand the tendency roiling liberal-democratic politics in recent years, from the outcome of the Brexit vote and the presidency of Donald Trump to the surge in support for antiliberal politicians and parties across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It’s […]

  • Memorial Day Weekend Gas Prices Hit 7-Year-High

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 9:52pm EDT

    The rise in gas prices is nothing to worry about. The inflation is only temporary. The surge in illegal immigration is cyclical. The spike in violent crime is also only transitory. CNBC: “Gasoline prices are expected to be the highest for a Memorial Day weekend in seven years, and prices could stay elevated all summer, […]
