  • Poll: Americans Favor Every Aspect Of Joe Biden’s Infrastructure Plan

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 9th 2021 12:42pm EDT

    The GOP has no one but itself to blame for losing on this issue. Instead of using budget reconciliation to pass a popular infrastructure bill, they used budget reconciliation to try to pass an unpopular health care bill and the equally toxic corporate tax cut in 2017. Yahoo News: “Congressional Republicans have argued that the […]

  • The Book of Woke Prayer: “Help Me Hate White People”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 9th 2021 10:15am EDT

    On Saturday, one of the members of my church sent me these images of a “devotional” she found in Target. This kind of thinking is a direct result of CRT and is completely anti-biblical. I shared the first page on Saturday but let me now share the whole thing for context: pic.twitter.com/oiRxHQXY53 — Ryan McAllister […]

  • Poll: Confederate Monuments Should Remain Standing In North Carolina

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 9th 2021 8:10am EDT

    We love our polls on this website. Here is another new poll out on Confederate monuments in North Carolina from Elon University which I believe is where Comrade Megan Squire is based. Greensboro.com: “ELON — Nearly 60% of North Carolina residents say they prefer that Confederate monuments remain right where they are, according to a […]

  • Joe Manchin: I Will Not Vote To Eliminate Or Weaken The Filibuster

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 5:02pm EDT

    Nothing is going to fundamentally change. Washington Post: “When Americans vote to send their two senators to Washington, they trust that they will work to represent the interests of their state on equal footing with 98 other senators. I have always said, “If I can’t go home and explain it, I can’t vote for it.” […]

  • Spiked: America’s Elites Want a Racial Apocalypse

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 3:28pm EDT

    Clearly, the political establishment is trying to gin up racial conflict. We saw that after the Atlanta shooting when they tried to hammer that square peg into the round hole of “white supremacy.” Spiked: “Jamil Ford still recalls the disorders of late May. ‘It was like Baghdad’, he recalls, even as jurors listen to the […]

  • Stacey Abrams Pressured The MLB To Move The All-Star Game Out Of Georgia

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 3:18pm EDT

    I knew that the “Jim Eagle” and “Jim Crow on steroids” and “new Jim Crow laws” rhetoric sounded vaguely familiar. This is the same woman who once burned the Georgia State Flag, who ran for governor on destroying the Confederate memorial on Stone Mountain and who made news last month by saying that Republicans are […]

  • Max Boot: What Does The GOP Even Stand For?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 2:39pm EDT

    Talking on @Morning_Joe about my @PostOpinions column: “The GOP can’t be saved. Center-right voters need to become Biden Republicans.” (https://t.co/uMK8qEwNaD) I compare the Biden Republicans to the Reagan Democrats of the 1980s and suggest they could transform politics. pic.twitter.com/lydFqXBXpn — Max Boot (@MaxBoot) April 8, 2021 I’m a populist and nationalist voter. I’ve never been […]

  • Politico: Leftwing Prosecutors Hit Fierce Resistance

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 12:26pm EDT

    Gay, trans, queer, and non-binary people for too long have been marginalized by our system and society. I want these community members to know that you are not alone. Our office is here for you.https://t.co/N07cisJS7g — DA Larry Krasner (@DA_LarryKrasner) March 29, 2021 I anticipate that progressive policing and prosecution of criminals is going to […]

  • Tulsi Gabbard Slams Joe Biden’s Surveillance State

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 9:30am EDT

    What is progress? The definition of progress is inverting the social order so that things which were formerly taboo and bizarre have become mainstream and celebrated what used to be normal is pathologized as immoral or evil. It is expanding the rights and liberties of “marginalized groups” like illegal aliens while attacking and curtailing the […]

  • The Boy Who Cried Wolf

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 8th 2021 8:22am EDT

    Have you noticed that the Democrats are dropping nothing but rhetorical nukes now? Even Joe Biden is using terms like “Jim Eagle” and “Jim Crow on steroids” and “Jim Crow laws.” Any form of law enforcement or border security … is fascism. Any form of election integrity legislation now matter how mild or commonplace or […]

  • Tucker Carlson: United Airlines Has Embraced “Equity”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 7th 2021 9:03pm EDT

    The real world has become a cartoon. The funniest thing about this is how utterly obsessed with race the “mainstream” has become. They’ve gone far beyond the “extremists.” No one in our circles is this extreme. We have a positive sense of racial and ethnic identity. We don’t make EVERYTHING about identity up to that […]

    It is getting worse. Everyone knows the brats are taking over.

  • The Atlantic: The Sexual Identity That Emerged on TikTok

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 7th 2021 6:22pm EDT

    As I have pointed out on more than a few occasions lately, there are at least 20,000 different genders and even more pronoun combinations now. Virtually all of these new genders were discovered over the last decade. You’re also a transphobic bigot for dismissing them as a ridiculous fad. The Atlantic: “Back in February, Kyle […]

  • Jeff Bezos Backs Corporate Tax Hike

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 7th 2021 5:59pm EDT

    This is a good discussion. Amazon isn’t even paying the official 21% corporate tax rate because of all the tax loopholes. Raising the corporate tax rate to 25% which is what the Corporate Democrats want to do isn’t going to change anything. Progressives are happy to spend trillions of dollars to build infrastructure. They are […]

  • New York Times: Fear Of White People Losing Out Permeate Capitol Rioters Towns

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 7th 2021 12:34pm EDT

    This is a bullshit study. New York Times: “When the political scientist Robert Pape began studying the issues that motivated the 380 or so people arrested in connection with the attack against the Capitol on Jan. 6, he expected to find that the rioters were driven to violence by the lingering effects of the 2008 […]

  • Poll: Americans Are Done Caring About COVID-19

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 7th 2021 11:54am EDT

    COVID is over, folks. I predicted this would happen. This was the issue that got Joe Biden elected president. It was also fading the day that he was sworn in as president. The Trump administration had already developed the vaccine through Operation Warp Speed. If it had not been for COVID, Trump would have likely […]

  • Andrew Ross Sorkin: Is Big Business the Democrats’ New Best Friend?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 7th 2021 10:21am EDT

    Andrew Ross Sorkin has a new article in the New York Times in which he basically explains that Joe Biden’s Democratic Party is evolving into the Whig Party or the old Republican Party. New York Times: “It might seem even more strange to see Democrats teaming up with big business. But Democrats, especially the more […]

  • The Atlantic: Woke Capital Doesn’t Exist

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 6:38pm EDT

    Don’t believe your lying eyes. You are imagining that woke progressive activists have hijacked Corporate America and have been using HR departments to enforce a cultural and political orthodoxy and the concentrated economic power of these corporations as a weapon to force their unpopular cultural views on recalcitrant state governments. There is actually no bullying […]

  • Liberal Larry: Thank You MLB For Doing The Right Thing!

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 5:20pm EDT

    It is a beautiful day. Corporate America is on the side of progress now. The Republicans have spent decades bringing home the bacon for wealthy suburban professionals and corporate lobbyists. Even Donald Trump’s greatest accomplishment was the corporate tax cut. Now, their taxes are so low that Corporate America and upper class voters can focus […]

  • Rising: Will Progressives Or Corporate Democrats Prevail On The Corporate Tax Rate?

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 4:07pm EDT

    Will Joe Manchin and the Corporate Democrats hold the line for private equity on raising the corporate tax rate in the infrastructure bill? Will Republicans break with their abject servility to private equity and Corporate America and get credit with working class voters by sticking it to woke capitalism?

  • MLB All-Star Game To Be Played In Denver After Leaving Atlanta

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 3:22pm EDT

    This whole episode is based on hysterical knee jerk woke capitalism bullshit. How on earth is Georgia’s election integrity law “Jim Crow on steroids” or “Jim Eagle” compared to Colorado or Delaware? Does Joe realize how retarded he sounds saying things like that? He also said after the Atlanta shooting that were all “complicit” in […]

  • The Oregonian: Portland Police Are Leaving In Droves

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 6th 2021 11:22am EDT

    It is not just Portland. This is playing out in other big cities across the country like Washington, DC where progressive politicians and the media have glorified criminals, embraced anarchists and demonized the police. Who wants to become the next Darren Wilson or Derek Chauvin? Who wants to spend another long hot summer being assaulted […]

  • New York Times: Transgender Childhood Is Not a “Trend”

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 5th 2021 6:50pm EDT

    I can remember the exact moment when “trans” took off. It was in the wake of the Obergefell decision in the summer of 2015 when Bruce Jenner reintroduced herself to the public as Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair. I was in Tennessee that day. This was the exact moment when progressives jumped […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Rigged System: How Richest Corporations Paid ZERO In Taxes

    Occidental Dissent - Apr 5th 2021 6:14pm EDT

    I was hoping that we could at least get the corporate tax rate up to the 28% – halfway back up to what it was when Trump slashed it – in Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill. Sadly, it looks like this is too heavy of a lift though for Joe Biden’s coalition. Wall Street Journal: “WASHINGTON—President […]
