  • MSN: Climatarians Are Grilling Brood X Cicadas This Memorial Day

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 8:25pm EDT

    This is beyond parody. NBC 4 Washington: “You’ve probably heard of the Brood X cicadas that have emerged after 17 years underground — maybe you’ve even heard them singing in your own yard. Did you know cicadas are edible? That’s right, Brood X is on the menu. …” MSN: “With the emergence of trillions of Brood X […]

  • James Carville: Democrats Are The Anticrime Party

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 7:00pm EDT

    If this is the best defense that the Democrats can muster against the charge of being soft on crime, then they are clearly in big trouble heading into the 2022 midterms. Wall Street Journal: “From 1993 to 2019, crime steadily decreased in the U.S. Every president since Bill Clinton inherited a declining crime rate and […]

  • Poll: The George Floyd Protests Were Deeply Unpopular

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 3:18pm EDT

    Post-MLK-assasination race riots reduced Democratic vote share in surrounding counties by 2%, which was enough to tip the 1968 election to Nixon. Non-violent protests *increase* Dem vote, mainly by encouraging warm elite discourse and media coverage. https://t.co/S8VZSuaz3G. pic.twitter.com/VRUwnRFuVW — (((David Shor))) (@davidshor) May 28, 2020 There are some interesting numbers in this new Ipsos poll: […]

  • Poll: Almost Three Quarters of Voters Think Crime Is On The Rise

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 1:43pm EDT

    Summer 2021 doesn’t officially begin to June 21st. The trends are all bad news for Democrats: COVID is fading. Violent crime is rising. Illegal immigration is rising. Support for the police is rising. Support for Black Lives Matter is declining. Joe Biden’s agenda is stalling. FOX News: “More than 7 in 10 voters think crime […]

  • Rising: Data Reveals Class Populism Is Key To Winning Elections

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 1:10pm EDT

    DUH. The real center of the electorate is populist and working class. When you include the people who don’t normally vote in elections, it is even more lopsided. The people who we are accustomed to calling the “center-right” and the “center-left” are college-educated, professional-managerial class voters. These are the people who the Democrats are obsessed […]

  • Paul Ryan Emerges From His Political Grave To Urge GOP To Return To Reaganism

  • Tucker Carlson: Corporate Media Is Frantically Updating Its Lies On COVID-19

    Occidental Dissent - May 27th 2021 9:41am EDT

    As Matt Taibbi said yesterday on the Jimmy Dore Show, the main reason that the corporate media so badly bungled the origin of COVID is that “journalists” don’t know shit about anything and rely on “experts” and other authority figures who often have an agenda that gets in the way of the truth. Most don’t […]

  • Brookings Institution: Younger Evangelicals Are Walking Away From Israel

    Occidental Dissent - May 26th 2021 11:11pm EDT

    This is very encouraging news. The days of Israel being OUR GREATEST ALLY are numbered. Brookings Institution: “As the recent eruption in Israel/Palestine brought attention to shifting Democratic attitudes toward Israel, including among younger Jewish Americans, Israel’s focus on the evangelical right as a cornerstone of U.S. support for the Jewish state has proven increasingly important.

  • Jimmy Dore: Fact Checkers Take A Beating On Lab Leak Theory

    Occidental Dissent - May 26th 2021 6:16pm EDT

    Misinformation will never get past the lying fact checkers! Note: Iraq WMD, Russiagate, Russian bounties, Brian Sicknick being beaten to death with a fire extinguisher and now the origin of COVID.

  • Secular Talk: Joe Biden Gives Up

    Occidental Dissent - May 26th 2021 4:52pm EDT

    The Populist Left is feeling blackpilled. I’m significantly less so because I am a social conservative. I already have plenty of good reasons to hate Joe Biden and the Democrats. I wasn’t expecting much from him anyway. Virtually all of the common ground that I share with the Democrats is with the Populist Left or […]

  • Thomas Edsall: Is Wokeness Kryptonite For Democrats?

    Occidental Dissent - May 26th 2021 2:14pm EDT

    Thomas Edsall has a new article on our current focus on writing the “far right” script and attacking the Democrats from the Center on intensely polarizing cultural issues. New York Times: “As Republicans well know, Democrats are divided on a host of volatile racial, cultural and sexual issues. Take a look at the polls. In […]

  • Rising: Joe Biden Cuts Bait On Key Campaign Promises

    Occidental Dissent - May 26th 2021 12:22pm EDT

    I’ve spent the last five months critiquing Joe Biden, the Democrats and the progressive movement from a nationalist and populist perspective. I would say my takes have held up. The Democratic Party is two different parties. It is an upstairs-downstairs coalition of the Democratic Independent Liberal Elites (DILEs) and the Democratic Leaning Working Class (DLWCs). […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Trans Craze

    Occidental Dissent - May 26th 2021 9:52am EDT

    There is no difference in my opinion and Tucker Carlson’s take on this issue. “Trans” is a social contagion and a fad that has been made fashionable over the last decade by novelty seeking progressive elites who pushed it into our culture as soon as “gay marriage” was normalized. It clearly appeals to vulnerable people: […]

  • Infowars: The Great Debate

    Occidental Dissent - May 26th 2021 9:31am EDT

    The path forward is to focus on issues and policies where we can build a consensus that resonates with our own community as well as outsiders in the Center and the Right, not on feuds between personalities. We’ve been trying to do that here for the past several months. Virtually everything we cover these days […]

  • Lil Nas X Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction While Performing On SNL

    Occidental Dissent - May 25th 2021 1:50pm EDT

    No one watches this garbage anymore. The Federalist: “NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” had its season finale over the weekend. The episode, hosted by actress Anya Taylor-Joy and featuring a musical performance by rapper Lil Nas X, tied with last week’s episode for the lowest ratings of the season. The finale had a rating of 3.5 […]

  • White Allyship: Was It Just a Fad?

    Occidental Dissent - May 25th 2021 12:36pm EDT

    The voting patterns of millennials from 2008 to 2020 is so wild. I’m going to explore for my newsletter this week, but here’s a sample in some states of the millennial vote in 2008/2020: AL: D+3/R+17CA: D+53/D+29FL: D+24/R+2KY: D+3/R+12ME: D+37/D+6NC: D+48/D+13 — Ryan James Girdusky (@RyanGirdusky) May 24, 2021 The optimists are saying that there […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Lab Leak Theory

    Occidental Dissent - May 25th 2021 10:02am EDT

    You will not be surprised to learn: The corporate media lied about COVID to help Joe Biden win the 2020 election Trump said the virus could have escaped from a Chinese lab. Therefore, it was tarred by association with the “far right” and couldn’t be true “Journalists” believed that “racism” was the real pandemic The […]

  • 15 Reasons Why I, As a White American Christian, Support Palestine (And Why You Should Too)

    Occidental Dissent - May 24th 2021 7:42pm EDT

    In any international conflict, you should generally look to oppose the ethnic group that is actively trying to destroy your nation (and civilization). If you are concerned with Arabs migrating to the West, you have an active interest in seeing that the Palestinians are able to live peacefully in their own homeland. Where do you […]

  • Newsweek: Joe Biden Is Giving Israel Smaller Smart Bombs

    Occidental Dissent - May 24th 2021 7:29pm EDT

    This is being touted in the media as a foreign policy victory for Joe Biden. Newsweek: “The Biden administration’s $753 million smart bomb package for Israel includes a little-known weapon—one quarter the size of Israel’s current main smart bomb—that Pentagon sources think could calm critics of Israel’s bombing. The State Department notification, sent to Congress on May 5, […]

  • Rising: How Democrats Lost Rural America

    Occidental Dissent - May 24th 2021 1:37pm EDT

    The culture war issues in rural America used to be guns, abortion and secularism. Now, it is guns, abortion and secularism, but also cultural degeneration, anti-whiteness, political correctness or wokeness, immigration, crime, hatred of “journalists,” hatred of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, anti-Americanism, censorship, civil liberties, “trans,” historic monuments, etc. Meat eating is just the […]
