  • Joe Biden Issues First Ever Presidential Proclamation For “Trans Day Of Visibility”

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 31st 2021 2:50pm EDT

    We wouldn’t want to marginalize our trans girls like Rachel Levine. Axios: “President Biden issued a statement to formally celebrate Wednesday as Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), an international day first marked in 2009 as a way to commemorate trans lives and accomplishments. Why it matters: Biden is the first sitting U.S. president to issue a […]

  • Poll: Joe Has Some Major Vulnerablities

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 31st 2021 2:35pm EDT

    The polls are all saying pretty much the same thing now. In the case of gun policy, Joe’s disapproval is because nothing is happening. In the case of immigration, it is because of what is happening. Detroit News: Note: In the latest Gallup poll, it caught my eye that federal spending and budget deficit had […]

  • Axios: Changes To Capital Gains Taxes Omitted From Biden’s Infrastructure Plan

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 31st 2021 1:03pm EDT

    BOOM! This is the realignment in action. Axios: “The carried interest loophole is beginning to look immortal. Driving the news: President Biden today will unveil a $2 trillion infrastructure plan that the White House hopes to pay for via changes to the corporate tax code. But it will not include any changes to individual income […]

  • Jimmy Dore: Buttigieg’s Idea To Screw Workers for Driving To Work

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 30th 2021 4:56pm EDT

    Jimmy Dore is my favorite leftwinger.

  • The 6 Converging Crises Of The Biden Administration

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 30th 2021 12:28pm EDT

    Editor’s Note: This is a work in progress. The Biden administration came into office and framed a volley of executive orders around the theme of “four converging crises” that were facing the country: COVID, the economy, racial justice and climate change. These were the four themes that they wanted to hit to unite their coalition. […]

  • Narrative Collapse: Many Capitol Rioters Unlikely To Serve Jail Time

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 30th 2021 11:18am EDT

    Let me get this straight. Are you saying that there wasn’t an “insurrection”? Are you saying that “insurrectionists” aren’t waging a guerilla war? Are you saying that this assault by the Biden DHS on our civil liberties including people who weren’t even there is based on nothing more than overwrought nonsense? Are you saying that […]

  • Poll: 64% of Americans See Cancel Culture As A Threat To Freedom

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 6:06pm EDT

    Hmm. Maybe the Republicans should go ALL IN and hammer the Democrats on this issue? I don’t think there is another culture war issue which has this much traction and potency. The Hill: “A majority of Americans say they view “cancel culture” as a threat to their freedom, according to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey […]

  • Chicago Times: Activists Want Nick Fuentes Kicked Off The Internet. It Might Be Impossible

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 29th 2021 8:17am EDT

    I’ve shared my thoughts on Nick Fuentes plenty of times. This article in the Chicago Tribune though is a reminder that we don’t have to personally like each other to have the same enemies and interests. We lost sight of that in the Trump era. Chicago Times: “For someone who has been deplatformed as thoroughly […]

  • Joe Biden: Gun Control Legislation Will Happen

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 28th 2021 8:11pm EDT

    Gun control legislation isn’t going anywhere in the Senate. Joe will sign some new executive orders which will be inevitably challenged in federal court. Just the other day, the Sixth Circuit overturned Trump’s ban on bump stocks.

  • Brian Stelter: Are White House Reporters Out Of Sync With The Country?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 28th 2021 5:19pm EDT

    I’m going to go out on a limb here. The public was less concerned about immigration in that Pew poll that was released in early January because Trump was still president. This was before Neoliberal Joe came in and blew up the border. COVID deaths also peaked in January in the middle of the winter […]

  • Jacobin: How The Democrats Became The Party of the Suburbs

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 8:57pm EDT

    I’m curious about this too. Why is Joe Biden being compared to FDR? The Democratic Party of 2021 has become what used to be the Republican Party. NY Mag: “One source of leftwing pessimism about Biden’s prospects for mounting a “transformational” presidency is the objective political and economic weakness of the American working class. When […]

  • Bill Maher: Private Schools: Education or Indoctrination?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 10:11am EDT

    There was another good discussion last night on Real Time with Bill Maher about the elite private schools which have been transformed into brat factories. They are pumping out the brats who are taking over America’s elite institutions. Eventually, we all know that they are going to deepen the polarization and create so much division […]

  • Jen Psaki: China Is Weaponizing Private Companies To Stifle Free Expression

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 27th 2021 12:06am EDT

  • The Elect: Neoracists Posing As Antiracists & Their Threat to Progressive America

    Now watching.

  • New York Times: Google Podcasts Is A Buffet of Hate

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 7:33pm EDT

    The definition of “hate speech” is anything that progressive activists who represent 8% of the population find objectionable. If it is not good enough for the famously tolerant New York Times newsroom, no one else in the country should be allowed to download and listen to the content. There needs to be a hall monitor […]

  • Jen Psaki: The Filibuster Is Systematically Racist When Republicans Use It

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 6:22pm EDT

Yahoo News: “Many of the Senate Democrats who are now calling for changes to the legislative filibuster expressed different views on the 60-vote […]

  • AP: In a Nation Founded on Whiteness, How to Really Discuss It?

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 12:01pm EDT

    The media has no interest in a “conversation about race.” Presumably, a conversation is a discussion between two sides. They’re not interested in that. They’re only interested in demonizing you, scolding you, lecturing you and talking down to you because of your race. U.S. News: “John Bost seems precisely the kind of person that his […]

  • Tucker Carlson: The Left Isn’t Funny Anymore

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 26th 2021 8:32am EDT

    PC Principal has taken over the comedy industry. He has also taken over the military, “journalism,” social media, etc.

  • Big Tech CEOs Testify On Capitol Hill

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 25th 2021 3:02pm EDT

    The only thing that I am interested in hearing is what steps Republicans are taking to destroy Facebook, Amazon, Twitter and Google after they allowed progressive activists to rig their platforms and silence their populist opposition. Anything short of that is a complete waste of time.

  • Rising: Sen. Tammy Duckworth Refuses To Vote To Confirm Any White Nominees

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 6:58pm EDT

    I wouldn’t vote to confirm any of these people either because I disagree with their politics. This is pretty racist though, right? Note: This is what Sen. Tim Scott meant when he said the Democratic Party is being devoured by “woke supremacy” in his recent op-ed in The Washington Post.

  • Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker: My City Rapes You And Keeps Secrets

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 6:28pm EDT

    Is she finally admitting the truth? We’re the ones who got screwed in 2017. We all naively assumed that Charlottesville was capable of upholding the law and protecting the rights of everyone to peacefully assemble. We had the misfortune of learning that Charlottesville and other leftwing cities like Portland are now unwilling to do this […]

  • Axios: Joe Biden Is Like FDR

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 1:24pm EDT

    I nearly fell out of my chair this morning when I saw this. Axios: “President Biden recently held an undisclosed East Room session with historians that included discussion of how big is too big — and how fast is too fast — to jam through once-in-a-lifetime historic changes to America. … Presidential historian Michael Beschloss told […]

  • Poll: Democrats Are Losing On Immigration

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 24th 2021 12:12pm EDT

    The Democrats have come up with a winning strategy for the 2022 midterms. The strategy is to allow the Mexican border to collapse so that Joe can become Angela Merkel in his first 100 days. Yahoo News: “Americans’ support for providing a pathway to citizenship has plummeted since President Joe Biden took office in January […]

  • The Nation: I Am Not Ready to Reenter White Society

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 23rd 2021 5:48pm EDT

    I thought this was hilarious. This is currently the top story on The Nation. It has been a strange experience over the last five years or so watching the mainstream Left become more race-obsessed than most White Nationalists. They are still trying to hammer the Atlanta shooting into the hole of “white supremacy.” The Nation: […]
