The Democrat party is going to continue to push more and more radical candidates because their base loves it.

They are like a dog with a taste for red meat. They aren’t going to go back to running “normal” candidates.

The latest squad-endorsed radical headed to Congress is Analilia Mejia who said that Jesus Christ was likely a democratic socialist.

She also said that toilets are socialism. There is a joke there somewhere.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Far-left activist Analilia Mejia has just been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, defeating Republican Joe Hathaway in the special election to fill the seat vacated by Mikie Sherrill.

This win narrows the already razor-thin Republican majority in the House and hands a powerful platform to one of the most extreme voices in the Democrat Party.

As The Gateway Pundit reported back in March, Mejia is no moderate. This Squad-endorsed Democratic Socialist has a long history of unhinged statements, including claiming that Jesus Christ was “likely a Democratic Socialist” and bizarrely declaring that public toilets are a form of socialism that critics should stop using if they oppose big government.

Mejia, a former national political director for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign and co-executive director of the far-left Center for Popular Democracy, ran on a full-blown socialist wishlist that reads like a blueprint for economic destruction:

• Abolish ICE entirely and open the floodgates to illegal immigration.
• Universal healthcare and childcare for all because nothing says “affordability” like making every American taxpayer foot the bill.
• A punishing $25 federal minimum wage that will crush small businesses, spike unemployment, and drive up costs for everyone.
• Massive tax increases on the wealthy and corporations to fund her giveaway schemes.
• Cancel all student loan debt and provide free tuition for college

Democrats are going to continue to run these sorts of candidates because their base now demands it.

Elections have consequences, and the consequence of allowing these people to hold serious power would be the total destruction of our country as we know it.

Geopolitical midgets Macron, Merz, and Starmer are again getting trolled by Trump

‘Useless’ allies not needed anymore, says Trump.

Be it in the Russia-Ukraine war – where they want it to continue for as long as possible – or in the US military confrontation with Iran – where they betrayed their main NATO ally – one thing you can always expect from Euro-Globalist failing leaders: meetings – lots of meetings.

The delusional European ‘powers’ make purely symbolic decisions that yield no practical outcome.

The current cast of Globalist leaders shares one thing in common: dismal poll numbers and historic levels of voter rejection.

So, they try to gain some clout by meddling in foreign issues as much as possible.

And that’s how they find themselves ridiculously discussing the opening of Hormuz AFTER it is already opened by Iran.

The result was inevitable: they got told off by Donald J. Trump yet again, treated as ‘useless’.

The Telegraph reported:

“Mr. Trump has again lashed out at Nato allies after the announcement that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened.

The US president suggested that European nations and others should ‘stay away’ from the region ‘unless they just want to load up their ships with oil’.”

“He said: ‘Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from Nato asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL’.

‘They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger’.”

LMAO! President Trump says NATO just called him offering to help with the Strait of Hormuz — MINUTES AFTER he and the Iranians announced its full reopening

And President Trump told them to GET LOST

What a USELESS organization

Douglas Murray, an investigative journalist and the author of The Strange Death of Europe and The War on the West, sat down with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to discuss a variety of topics, including the dismal state of education in the Unites States.

Murray, an outspoken British conservative, told Streit, “I mean, I say this as a great lover of America, but the education system in this country is shocking. And it’s not to do with money. It’s not to do with a lack of resources.”

“If in New York State, for instance, almost $30,000 is allocated per pupil per year for their education, that’s a hell of a lot of money.”

Streit added, “Yeah, it’s not money, it’s monsters. It’s the other end.”

Murray continued, “Exactly. I mean, it is. And it’s just shocking. The unions, these people just have not done their job. They have so woefully underperformed.”

“And when you have the levels of illiteracy and numeracy in a society like this. It’s shocking.”

“The world’s number one economy, a superpower, should be able to make sure that it’s not like in a lot of areas 50% of K-12 students just don’t have basic literacy or numeracy.”

Watch:

Our kids are graduating with shocking levels of illiteracy and poor math skills. @DouglasKMurray is right, it’s not about money. It’s the unions that have continuously robbed our students and held our schools hostage. Watch here https://t.co/lnW5YVl1fk pic.twitter.com/nVTd8J3wz4

According to The Citizens Budget Commission (CBC), New York State has the highest per-pupil spending in the nation for over 20 years running.

For the 2024–25 school year, the state was projected to spend approximately $36,293 per student (total expenditures including local, state, and federal funds). This is more than double the national average of roughly $17,000–$18,000. Earlier data for 2023 showed New York at about $36,976 per pupil.

Yet according to assessments like the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Nation’s Report Card, New York students are not achieving grade-level mastery in core subjects at high rates, despite the massive investment.

2024 NAEP results for NY State overall showed:

Grade 4 Reading: 31% proficient or above.
Grade 4 Math: 37% proficient or above.
Grade 8 Reading: 31% proficient or above.
Grade 8 Math: 26% proficient or above.

Nationally, proficiency hovers around 30–39% in these categories, so New York is average-to-below-average despite top spending, and scores have shown little sustained improvement over decades, even as costs soared.

New York City students fare even worse.

New York City public schools, the nation’s largest district, spend even more than the New York state average.

According to The New York Post, for the 2025–26 school year, the NYC Department of Education is projected to spend a record $42,168 per student—the highest in the country—on a total budget of $44.6 billion.

2024 NAEP results for NYC showed:

Grade 4 Reading: 28% proficient.
Grade 4 Math: 33% proficient.
Grade 8 Reading: 29% proficient.
Grade 8 Math: 23% proficient.
