Bernie Sanders says the U.S. seizure of stolen oil from Venezuela is imperialism. Yet he fails to call it imperialism when Hugo Chavez and Maduro nationalized the entire private economy and outlawed private property in that Communist country. Sanders is a disgusting hypocrite, living as a millionaire while lecturing middle class Americans on the evils of capitalism. But the fools applauding him fail to understand: Communist and other totalitarian governments HAVE NO RIGHTS. They are organized, legalized criminals. If someone breaks into your bank account and steals $10,000, we don’t call it “imperialism” if the police arrest the thieves and return your money to you. It’s called justice.

The only thing preventing all-out civil war in America right now is President Trump. The Democratic Party has passed the tipping point. If the Democrat psychopath totalitarians regain control of the White House and Congress, we are officially over as a free country. They will embark on an authoritarian, murderous spree that will make Maduro seem like nothing; and they will unleash Sharia law on top of it, on the Mamdani model. The only way out of the twisted, ghoulish madness embodied by newly empowered leftists will be shooting our way out, because the federal government run by terrorists and Communists will be out for all dissenters. Human history is filled with such developments, and in fact was the norm. The MAGA coalition (sizable, a majority in 2024) either will roll over and take everything, or shoot their way back to freedom (or die trying). I do not hope for any of this. It will no doubt be catastrophic, if it happens. I am only stating a fact that many don’t wish to name, but remains a plausible possibility whether we name it or not. We are one rigged election away from a nightmare. Try to decide how to be ready in your own personal way.

I remember when Ronald Reagan was running for President, way back in 1980, he proposed a blockade around Cuba, to weaken their economy and bring the Communist regime to its knees. The media freaked out and Reagan promptly walked the idea back. But it was a good idea. I now wonder about this proposal for New York City. The city is now enemy territory, under the control of a totalitarian terrorist. The majority who voted for this psychopath deserve what they get. Let’s ensure that they get it. No trade with free states. Let them produce everything for themselves. Let them live off the city-run grocery stores and “free” buses. Give the rational people still in New York City the ability to leave before the blockade. What about their rights? They enjoy no rights under this regime, and they know it. New York is gone, so long as it’s a totalitarian district. America is a Constitutional republic respectful of individual rights. Under our Constitution, Communism is against the law. So are Sharia law and Muslim terrorism, which Mamdani openly supports. If it’s morally valid to unseat Maduro, and it is, then it’s overwhelmingly morally justified (and necessary) to remove Mamdani from power by any means our legitimate Constitutional government sees fit.
