  • Mehdi Hasan: Progressives Except Palestine Are Hypocrites

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 2:48am EDT

    “Critics on the left even have a term for it: ‘PEP.’ Progressive except Palestine. Progressive when it comes to standing up for marginalized minorities at home, or persecuted groups abroad..but not in Israel and the Occupied Territories.” Me on Dems/Gaza:pic.twitter.com/AUslP7PT1F — Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) May 19, 2021 I will give credit where it is due.

  • Is Portland Over?

    Occidental Dissent - May 19th 2021 12:02am EDT

    We stopped engaging with these anarchists years ago. Look at what they have done to Portland which is the flagship of woke progressivism where policing has been “reimagined.” They have destroyed their own city and have transformed it into a violent, chaotic, blighted dump that is overrun by criminals, drug addicts and homeless people. Note: […]

  • Mark McCloskey Announces U.S. Senate Run

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 9:02pm EDT

    I don’t think this will be close. My wife’s family in Missouri loves this guy. I knew that Missouri was going to go big for Trump back in 2016 after Ferguson. The other guy Eric Greitens who is also running for Senate became governor after running that machine gun ad. He later resigned from office […]

  • DW: Child Drag Queens From Around The World

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 8:13pm EDT

    Joe Biden made the point of coming out and fully endorsing this in his Joint Address to Congress.

  • Poll: Joe Biden’s Honeymoon Is Over

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 7:41pm EDT

    The hard part seems to have finally arrived. The country has been grateful to Joe for distributing the vaccine without putting a foot in his mouth like Donald Trump. We’re officially over the COVID pandemic now though. Yahoo News: “As COVID-19 cases continue to fall and an increasingly vaccinated America emerges from the worst of […]

  • The Intercept: Pentagon Plans To Monitor Social Media Of Military Personnel For Extremist Content

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 6:43pm EDT

    What is worse? Is it the Pentagon generals who defied the president and who substituted their judgment in order to keep American troops mired in foreign war zones? Is it the Pentagon’s new focus on imposing a new political litmus test on service members which tramples all over their constitutional rights? The Intercept: “AS PART […]

  • Joe Biden Touts Electric Cars In Michigan

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 4:14pm EDT

    President Biden test drives Ford’s new electric F-150 on a track pic.twitter.com/ICAlHtpLrW — Mario Parker (@MarioDParker) May 18, 2021 This has nothing to do with working class union jobs. This is entirely about pushing the climate change agenda of affluent, college-educated, upper middle class progressives by subsidizing electric vehicles in order to curb carbon admissions. […]

  • Piers Morgan: Prince Harry’s Attack On Free Speech Makes Him Look Bonkers, Not the U.S. Constitution

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 3:02pm EDT

    Prince Harry has been clowning the royal family for years now. It is no accident that the woke royals are also the most unpopular royals. Daily Mail: “‘If the freedom of speech is taken away,’ said America’s first president George Washington, ‘then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.’ His […]

  • The New Republic: A New “War on Terrorism” Is the Wrong Way to Fight Domestic Extremists

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 2:10pm EDT

    My immediate thoughts on the new Hannah Gais piece in The New Republic on how to fight “domestic extremism” (she works for the SPLC) are as follows: The accelerationists largely disappeared after the El Paso shooting back in the summer of 2019 and the crackdown that followed although there might be a few accounts on […]

  • PBS Newshour: Should Native Americans Control The National Parks?

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 1:19pm EDT

    NO. The National Parks should be left alone for the enjoyment of everyone. The National Park System is one of the crowning achievements of nationalism and populism in the early 20th century and should not be screwed up by woke progressives. We’re happy to have this fight though. Note: These people are just bubbling over […]

  • Rising: Joe Biden’s Call For Ceasefire Ignored By Hamas-Israel

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 12:05pm EDT

    Of course it is. We all know who is the boss in the Democratic Party. There is a reason why Israel can get away with doing all of these things which flies in the face of everything the political establishment says about “democracy” and “human rights.” There is a reason why we are funding what […]

  • Killing Gaza

    Occidental Dissent - May 18th 2021 11:05am EDT

    This is what both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have supported because they are both cowed by Jewish billionaire donors, the Israel Lobby, the political establishment and its handmaiden the corporate media. They’ve set their rhetoric about “democracy” and “human rights” aside while Israel has expanded its settlements and seized control of more and more […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The UFO Threat

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 9:10pm EDT

    We’ve got all the ingredients for a ripe fall. A Roman Empire-level of cultural degeneration A senile, doddering president who is little more than a figurehead A Democrat hack from Raytheon in charge of the Pentagon A military which is focused on recruiting trans girls and women who have two moms who fight for social […]

  • Rising: Why Media Coverage Of Israel-Palestine Is Dangerous

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 8:00pm EDT

    What is going on with the libs? Is this what you call American leadership? Is Joe Biden standing up for American values by funding Bibi Netanyahu’s war machine? Tell us more about “human rights” and racism and bigotry!

  • Joe Rogan: Wokeness Is Out Of Control

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 6:01pm EDT

    Joe Rogan on “woke culture” pic.twitter.com/2LLaEWFRLX — Viral Sports (@NotScTop10plays) May 16, 2021 It is already way beyond that point. If you are a cishet White male and you have populist or nationalist views or even conservative or libertarian views now, you are now being labeled a “domestic extremist” by the government. They don’t want […]

  • Secular Talk: Joe Biden Cucks To Israel

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 4:47pm EDT

    Isn’t this just beautiful? Can you imagine any other country in the world getting away with this or the Biden administration selling them $735 million dollars in precision-guided weapons while they are doing it? Washington Post: “FIRST IN POWER UP: The Biden administration has approved the sale of $735 million in precision-guided weapons to Israel, raising […]

  • Harry Enten: Why GOP Leaders Are Playing It Smart When It Comes To Trump

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 1:36pm EDT

    Harry Enten threw another big bucket of cold water on the narrative this weekend. CNN: “(CNN) – The House GOP’s move to remove Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position is widely seen as the latest move to placate the base at the risk of alienating the center of the electorate. Cheney had voted to […]

  • MSNBC: “Whig”ing Out About The GOP Infighting

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 11:26am EDT

  • Politico: Tax The Rich? Executives Predict Biden’s Big Plans Will Flop

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 10:38am EDT

    We’ve also dismissed Joe Biden’s populist posturing. Politico: “President Joe Biden wants to fund his $4.1 trillion infrastructure and family policy agenda with a huge pile of tax increases on corporations and the wealthy. The business community is dismissing the threat. Corporate executives and lobbyists in Washington, New York and around the country say they […]

  • Jacobin: We Can’t Cancel Ourselves Into a Better World

    Occidental Dissent - May 17th 2021 9:50am EDT

    I would probably also be labeled a “far-right propagandist.” Jacobin: “Changing that reality is immensely difficult. But it’s easy enough to get a Democratic Socialists of America convention to enforce rules as extreme as prohibiting clapping during debate in the name of accommodating the disabled — something that resulted in a notorious montage of clips […]

  • Mitt Romney Calls Out DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Over Border Crisis

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 9:43pm EDT

    It is a rare day when we have anything nice to say about Mitt Romney. This is what progressive activists have done with the border and immigration policy.

  • Michael Tracey: “America First” Conservatives Declare: “Actually, We Meant Israel First”

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 6:27pm EDT

    Michael Tracey isn’t wrong about this. Michael Tracey: “Whenever there’s an outbreak of deadly violence in Israel-Palestine, a very similar dynamic plays out; although in this instance it’s concentrated in different sectors of society. While a handful of Republicans joined in on the “Much Work To Be Done” refrain after the Chauvin trial, cultural left/liberals […]

  • WND: Woman Shocked By Woke Books In Baby Section At Barnes and Noble

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 3:55pm EDT

    I recently had an old friend and longtime commentator here contact me about this very issue. World Net Daily: “BOCA RATON, Florida – A South Florida woman was so shocked recently by “woke” and “cancel culture” books being sold in the baby section of Barnes & Noble, she recorded the titles and posted them on […]

  • FOX News: Rising Food Prices Causing Sticker Shock At Grocery Stores

    Occidental Dissent - May 16th 2021 3:28pm EDT

    According to the Stew Leonard’s CEO, rising consumer prices are being caused by 1.) the burst in the economy, 2.) the labor force due to workers staying home and 3.) increased corn exports to China and the rise in fuel prices. It is costing more to transport goods around the country.
