Why Progressive Democrats’ Embrace of Hasan Piker Should Alarm Every American

Hasan Piker (HasanAbi), a high-reach left-wing Twitch streamer and political commentator, has repeatedly made statements that many Americans regard as extreme. Progressive Democrats and left-aligned elected officials, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, have associated with him through campaign support, joint appearances, private dinners, and public praise. These ties are documented and continue despite the record.

Abdul El-Sayed’s Ideology Is Fundamentally Incompatible with America’s Founding Principles — He Should Never Serve in the United States Senate

America was not founded as a social democracy, a globalist project, or a laboratory for progressive transformation. It was founded as a constitutional republic dedicated to individual liberty, limited government, national sovereignty, the rule of law, and the defense of a free people against both foreign threats and domestic overreach. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution establish a nation of free citizens under a government of enumerated powers, not an administrative state tasked with redistributing outcomes, weakening borders, or subordinating American strategic interests to ideological crusades.

Spain’s Socialist Experiment: A Warning America Must Heed

In the final days of July 2026, Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta—sovereign Spanish territory—was breached on a massive scale. Between 49,000 and 60,000 people crossed from Morocco in a matter of hours and days. The vast majority were young, military-aged men. They swam around barriers, walked the shoreline, and overwhelmed local forces. Dozens died in the attempt—estimates range from the low 40s to as high as 67. The overwhelming majority were Muslim, reflecting Morocco’s near-total Muslim population.

Europe’s Immigration Pressures: Volumes, Crime Disparities, Cultural Frictions, and Lessons for the United States

Europe continues to face significant challenges from irregular migration, even as overall detections of illegal border crossings have declined from earlier peaks. Frontex data show irregular crossings into the EU fell about 26% in 2025 to roughly 178,000—the lowest since 2021—and continued downward in the first half of 2026 (around 37–40% lower year-on-year in early periods). Yet localized surges and cumulative effects remain acute in several countries. These pressures strain housing, welfare systems, social cohesion, and public safety, while raising questions about the compatibility of certain cultural and legal practices with Western liberal norms.

Democrats Said Noncitizens Never Vote. New Jersey Just Proved Them Wrong

For years, Democrats and their media allies have repeated the same line: noncitizen voting is a “myth.” It “never happens.” It’s “vanishingly rare.” It’s already illegal, so it couldn’t possibly matter. They treat anyone who raises the issue as a conspiracy theorist.

Why Americans Should Trust Republicans on the Economy: The Record, the Reality, and the Path Forward

As the 2026 midterms approach, one issue towers above the rest for American voters: the cost of living. Groceries, gas, housing, and healthcare dominate conversations at kitchen tables across the country. Poll after poll confirms it—prices and affordability are the top concern, often by a wide margin. Voters are right to demand results. The question is who has the better track record and the better plan to deliver relief.

Undivided Allegiance: Why Only Natural-Born Americans Should Hold Public Office

The American people deserve representatives whose loyalty is absolute. Not partial. Not shared. Not hedged by the pull of a foreign homeland, ancestral grievances, or diaspora politics. When someone seeks the power to write our laws, control our budgets, shape our foreign policy, or govern our states, the constituents they serve have a right to expect 100 percent of that person’s allegiance, energy, and dedication. Anything less erodes the foundation of self-government.

The SAVE America Act: Securing America’s Elections for American Citizens

America’s elections are the foundation of our republic. They determine who writes our laws, who commands our military, who controls our borders, and who shapes the future for our children. For that system to retain legitimacy, only one group of people may participate in federal elections: citizens of the United States.

Why I Support Trump’s Iran Strategy—and Why Democrats Still Owe America a Plan

Seventeen American service members dead and $4 gasoline demand accountability. But Democrats’ “endless war” slogan does not explain how they would secure verified accounting of Iran’s 60-percent uranium stockpile, protect Americans and partners, or restore free passage through Hormuz. I support Trump’s objectives—with America First limits and an enforceable end state.

Trump Is Right to Demand Answers About China and the 2020 Election

The new files strengthen Trump’s case that Beijing posed a deeper election threat—and that federal officials treated inconvenient intelligence too casually. They demand accountability. The public record reviewed here does not resolve whether vote totals were affected.

The Border Is Quiet. Congress Must Make the Gains Durable.

June’s 9,848 southwest-border apprehensions confirm a historic enforcement shift. Court rulings and continuing narcotics seizures show why sovereignty cannot rest on executive action alone.
