  • Poll: Immigration Is Rising In Salience and Weighing Down Joe Biden

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 16th 2021 9:03am EDT

    We know the DC set love their precious polls. In light of this insight, we have recently decided to speak to them in their own language. Basically, the public cares about the same things that we care about, so if you want to win the 2022 midterms you should listen to us. You can defeat […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Nancy Pelosi Caught Doing Millions Of Insider Trading During Covid

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 15th 2021 5:34pm EDT

    If it wasn’t for Jimmy Dore, I would have never heard about this. This is why the political establishment is so desperate to censor the internet and crush independent media. The “journalists” are happy to air Matt Gaetz’s dirty laundry in public, but they protect their rich and powerful friends like AOC and Pelosi. Powered […]

  • Trevor Noah: The Police Are A “Rotten Tree”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 15th 2021 4:22pm EDT

    I used to watch The Daily Show in the 2000s I vaguely remember it being funny. I was strongly against the Iraq War. Now, this woke black from South Africa is the host of The Daily Show, which has zero cultural appeal to the rest of the country outside of woke progressivism. Stephen Colbert isn’t […]

  • House Democrats Push Reparations For Slavery Bill Through Committee

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 15th 2021 3:25pm EDT

    This is nice. The bill is not going anywhere even in the House. As with nationwide red flag gun legislation, a new domestic terrorism law, federalizing state elections, comprehensive immigration reform, the Equality Act or packing the Supreme Court, it is nice to know where Democrats stand on the issues so we can decide whether […]

  • Democrats Introduce Bill To Pack The Supreme Court

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 15th 2021 10:58am EDT

    This bill is going nowhere. Even if it were not for the filibuster, it would be blocked in the Senate by moderate Democrats. Still though, this tells you something about the mindset of progressives that they want to pack the Supreme Court, abolish the Electoral College, create new states and federalize elections. They also support […]

  • Andrew Yang Was Chased Away By Black Lives Matter On His Bicycle

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 15th 2021 10:13am EDT

    I’m definitely in the camp of defending rioting & looting as a legitimate, politically-informed response to state violence. I’ve tweeted on this topic many times & I’m always willing to engage people in good faith discussion of why I hold that position. — DEFUND & ABOLISH POLICE (@BreeNewsome) April 13, 2021 Is it “white supremacy” […]

  • DOJ Won’t Charge Police Officer Who Killed Ashli Babbitt

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 15th 2021 9:46am EDT

    I haven’t seen any outrage about this in the corporate media. Usually, the corporate media and progressives are quick to demonize the police in any shooting involving a black suspect and a White police officer, but the general attitude in the press seems to be that Ashli Babbitt got what she deserved and that it […]

  • Young Progressive White Women Are Mentally Ill

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 15th 2021 8:56am EDT

    I saw Tim Pool talking about this the other day. Young progressive White women are overwhelmingly more likely to be mentally ill, LGBTQIA, depressed and childless. This is the same demographic group which is the most supportive of political correctness or wokeness and cancel culture.

  • A New Populist Era

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 14th 2021 8:13pm EDT

    Anand Giridharadas thinks we have entered a new progressive era in American politics. It is worth remembering that the populists were their opposition back in those days. The following excerpt comes from Michael Kazin’s book A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan: “Bryan never forgot that he was speaking to a gathering dominated […]

  • Woke Capital Unites Hundreds of CEOs, Corporations, Oligarchs, Wall Street Law Firms and Hollywood Celebrities Behind Assault On Democracy

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 14th 2021 4:55pm EDT

    Did you hear the big news? America’s oligarchs, woke celebrities, millionaires and billionaires and hundreds of the most powerful corporations in the country and their CEOs have taken out an ad in the New York Times to show their support for democracy. By democracy, they mean that they alone are going to make the laws […]

  • Rising: Is Joe Biden The Mythical Populist Right Leader That MAGA’s Been Waiting For?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 14th 2021 1:45pm EDT

    HELL NO. Rest assured, this site is a bellwether. I didn’t care for the Trump presidency. No, Joe Biden isn’t anything close to what we want. In fact, Joe Biden has dumped nitroglycerin on the most important issues that gave us the Trump presidency. 1. Immigration – Joe Biden is presiding over the worst border […]

  • Joe Biden Promises We Are Leaving Afghanistan

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 14th 2021 12:22pm EDT

    We can’t leave in May. We promise though that we are leaving by September! We’re going to break the peace deal that Trump negotiated with the Taliban. This isn’t a trick that is going to flare things back up and keep us there when the “deadline” approaches again in the fall.

  • Bernie Madoff Dies In Prison

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 14th 2021 11:56am EDT

    Sheldon Adelson died in January. Jeffrey Epstein and Bernie Madoff are dead now too. Politico: “NEW YORK — Bernie Madoff, the financier who pleaded guilty to orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, has died in a federal prison, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Madoff died at the […]

  • Thomas Edsall: Corporations of the World, Unite!

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 14th 2021 10:14am EDT

    I’ve got some wonderful news to report. The Democrats are doing us a huge favor by absorbing all of the neocons like Bill Kristol, Corporate America and the True Cons voters who have cosmopolitan values and who live in the wealthy suburbs and whose politics are tax cuts and virtue signaling about racism and nativism. […]

  • Study: Wokeness Is Paralyzing Blacks And Turning Them Into Helpless Victims

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 14th 2021 9:09am EDT

    From their elite perches at Boston University and The Atlantic, Ibram X. Kendi and Ta-Nehisi Coates are convincing a generation of the most intelligent and educated blacks that they are the helpless victims of omnipresent racism, white supremacy and systematic racism. Newsweek: “Just 68 percent of Black respondents who read Coates’ paragraph agreed with the […]

  • Hillary Clinton: Big Tech Platforms Must Be Reined Before Things Get Worse

The Deplorables cannot be allowed to freely share their political opinions on the internet without the supervision and permission of hall monitors. Their views have to be banned like cigarettes.

  • Russia and China Are Openly Challenging Neoliberal Joe

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 13th 2021 4:23pm EDT

    Who knows? Maybe it was a good time for “white supremacists” to get purged from the military and to let our trans girls and minorities serve? While Chuck Todd, Lloyd Austin and Alejandro Mayorkas are focused on “domestic extremism,” China and Russia appear to be focused on Taiwan and Ukraine.

  • NBC Narratives: Domestic Extremism: “They Aren’t Wearing Hoods, But Slacks”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 13th 2021 3:46pm EDT

    Chuck Todd is a serious “journalist” who is deeply concerned about the rise of “domestic extremism” in America. This is why he is covering the ongoing insurrection in Portland, the insurrection at the Iowa State Capitol, the soaring death toll which is the fallout of Black Lives Matter protests and the black nationalist insurrectionist who […]

  • Rising: Billionaires Go All Out To Fight Tax Hike

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 13th 2021 1:42pm EDT

    New BRT survey finds that 98% of @BizRoundtable member CEOs believe a corporate tax rate increase from 21% to 28% would have a “moderately” to “very significant” adverse effect on their company’s competitiveness.

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 13th 2021 12:48pm EDT

    Prayers are not enough. Daunte Wright should still be with us. While an investigation is underway, our nation needs justice and healing, and Daunte’s family needs to know why their child is dead—they deserve answers. — Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) April 13, 2021 Portland: BLM-Antifa chant about burning police stations to the ground everywhere […]

  • Rep. Rashida Tlaib Calls For Police Abolition

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 13th 2021 11:15am EDT

    It wasn’t an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist. Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder. No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed. — Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) April 12, 2021 I’m glad we agree. This is what […]

  • Joe Biden’s ATF Nominee Is An Anti-Gun Fanatic Who Was At Ruby Ridge and Waco

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 13th 2021 10:18am EDT

    The irony on display here is jaw dropping. After years of accusing Donald Trump of “fascism” and “authoritarianism,” Joe Biden’s pick to head the ATF is literally a guy who took selfies in the ruins of Waco and who was also on the ground at Ruby Ridge which are the two single worst abuses of […]
