Socialism Is A Noun - A Synonym For Socialism Is Theft Submitted by Mitchell Vexler, socialism is defined as a political system advocating that the means of production and distribution are owned or regulated by the community as a whole. Words that you may have heard of being representative of socialism are collectivism, communalism, communism, leftism, progressivism, Marxism, Bolshevism, Leninism, Trotskyism, welfarism, Maoism, neo-Marxism, social democracy, consumer socialism, utopian socialism, classless society, collective ownership, public ownership, state ownership, Stalinism, Sovietism Marxism-Leninism, Eurocommunism, totalitarianism, radical socialism, state ownership, rule of the proletariat, and state socialism. All of these synonyms can be replaced with 1 word, and that word is THEFT. Theft of your money or theft of any person / victim who earns money and pays taxes, where those taxes go into pet projects which the victims did not vote for and or to cover the compound cumulative interest on the non-stop production of fraud created by the fraudsters (socialists). It is no coincidence that the 2 largest purveyors of fraud in the U.S. are the Federal Reserve and the School Districts, which own the Central Appraisal Districts, both of which utilize the mantra of printing money. One, the Federal Reserve via its right hand, the U.S. Treasury, prints money, not backed by assets, at will. The other being the School Districts which print their money by committing accounting fraud and bond fraud, demanding continuous bond raises, delivering pre-determined budgets for their owned CAD to contrive additional property valuation fraud and thus over taxation for you the victim to pay for in perpetuity, and as a result the median household income (MHI) shrinks at an alarming rate. In other words, the FED, School Districts, and CADs are socialist organizations that execute the plan socialism while simultaneously paying themselves which is again, transferring your money via fraud into their pockets. This Article is now part of a series of recent important articles all of which should be read by every citizen in the U.S. & Canada, and any country across the world, to help people understand that socialism is the scourge of any society.

It has become clear in recent years that many people paid for an education that did not create a return on their investment. It is also clear that many so-called bastions of education have now been exposed as incubators for socialists. Isn’t it interesting, and not at all coincidental, that on average, across the U.S., property taxes account for 83% of local revenues for public schools, allocated in two components: operations and maintenance (O&M) and interest and sinking fund (I&S), both of which are now proven to be counterproductive to the education of students. We have shown conclusively how the theft of your money by the school districts occurs.

The psychology of a socialist is detailed in “Chain the Doors of the Federal Reserve” linked above and further expanded below. In this Article, an extension of Chain the Doors article and the writing of Thomas Pain presented in Thomas Paine - Quotes on Taxes & The Necessity of Taxation, I would like to dig deeper to show why socialism is the antithesis of capitalism and the U.S. Constitution and why socialism…

Canada Weighs Token Troop Deployment To Greenland, But Fears Trump Wrath The Canadian government is weighing whether to deploy a small contingent of troops to take part in training exercises in Greenland after several European and NATO member countries already sent in dozens of soldiers. The discussions come as President Trump argues that the United States "needs" the Danish autonomous territory for national security reasons and has intensified his calls for Washington to take control of the island. The Europeans have clearly sent troops there for more than just "exercises" - but as a show of unity and "strength" in support of Denmark. While no final decision has been made on a Canadian deployment, such an act would remain largely symbolic in nature - but Canadian leadership under the Carney government is likely very worried about needlessly provoking Trump's wrath. Canada's armed forces file image Trump is already preparing an additional 10% tariff for Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland (starting Feb.1st) as a consequence of their defiance. He specifically referenced their sending troops to Greenland in a weekend Truth Social post: "Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. "This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable." Given the large leading EU nation of Germany has only deployed roughly a dozen troops to the island, it's likely that any Canadian presence would be even smaller. Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that Canada is "concerned" about what he has called US "escalation" - but again this is a bad moment for Canada to get 'noticed' by Trump for joining European 'defiance' of this future plans for Greenland. Last Thursday in the early morning nighttime hours, a Danish military transport aircraft was the first to land in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, carrying Danish soldiers alongside members of the French armed forces. Soon on the first plane's heels, another Danish Hercules aircraft touched down at Kangerlussuaq in western Greenland. Both planes reportedly flew with their transponders switched off. Canada supports the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity universally, including as they apply to Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark. As we have consistently stated, the future of Greenland is for Greenland and Denmark alone to determine. The security of the… — Mark Carney (@MarkJCarney) January 18, 2026 If Canada too sends a contingent of troops, Carney would probably waiting on edge until the inevitable Truth Social post is issued by Trump slamming the Canadians and threatening new repercussion on America's northern neighbor. The other reason NATO countries have sent their small deployments is to convince Trump to join the cooperative mission. The EU argues that this already satisfies the Washington desire to see a beefed up Western security presence in the region, with an eye on Russia and China. Tyler Durden Mon, 01/19/2026 - 20:05

This Could Be The Big One Authored by weather observer Ryan Hall, There are winter storms, and then there are storms that come from a real pattern shift. The kind that don't just brush one region, but impact a big chunk of the country. This upcoming setup is starting to look like the second type. Over the last day or so, confidence has increased that we're heading into a legitimate winter storm window late this week into the weekend. The signal is becoming clearer across guidance, and the ingredients are lining up in a way that usually gets my attention. The Big Picture A strong Arctic high is pushing into the central and eastern United States. This isn't a quick shot of cold air. It's a deep, dense cold dome that sets up first and stays in place. At the same time, a southern stream trough is expected to eject out of the Southwest. That system will pull moisture northward over the top of the cold air already in place at the surface. That overrunning setup is one of the more efficient ways to produce widespread snow, sleet, and freezing rain across the South and East. About the Analogs You may see comparisons to past storms like January 1988 or February 2010 being mentioned. It's important to be careful with that. No two storms are exactly alike, and analogs aren't about matching totals or impacts. Where they can be useful is in highlighting similar large-scale processes. In this case, things like a strong southwestern trough, deep cold air already in place, and a steady moisture feed overrunning the cold dome. In some respects, this setup has more cold air to work with and a broader moisture source than those events did at similar lead times. That's why it stands out. Days 4-5: Friday Focus By Friday, attention shifts to the Southern Plains and the Lower Mississippi Valley. Snow and mixed precipitation look increasingly likely from the Texas Panhandle through Oklahoma, Arkansas, and into parts of the Tennessee Valley. This part of the storm will likely feature a sharp gradient between snow, sleet, and freezing rain, especially near the southern edge of the cold air. Small shifts in track or temperature profiles could have large impacts in this region. Days 6-7: Weekend Evolution As we head into Saturday and Sunday, the system is expected to move east across the Southeast, with the potential to turn northeast near the coast. Cold air is already established well north of the system, which raises confidence that much of the precipitation will fall as wintry weather. The biggest question now is how far north the heavier precipitation shield extends and how much phasing occurs between northern and southern stream energy. That will determine whether the highest impacts remain focused on the Mid-Atlantic or expand farther north. What I'm Watching Strength and placement of the Arctic high Timing and amplitude of the southern stream trough How quickly the streams interact Placement of the rain-snow line Icing potential along the southern edge These details should come into better focus over the next few days. Bottom Line This is shaping up to be a potentially high-impact winter storm affecting a large portion of the Southern and Eastern U.S. It's still too early to lock in exact totals or specific cities. But it's early enough to say this is a system worth taking seriously. If you live from the Southern Plains through the Tennessee Valley and into the Mid-Atlantic, this is one you should be planning around, not ignoring. We'll keep refining the details as the data comes in. If the signal weakens, we'll say that. But right now, this setup has the look of a storm that could end up being memorable.

Newsom Strains To Flip Script On California's Failures Authored by Susan Crabtree via American Greatness, It’s an odd predicament for a leading Democratic presidential contender. Gavin Newsom’s biggest strength—political spin and performance come almost second nature to him—could also be his biggest liability as he strains to remake the tarnished image of the state he has governed for the last seven years. Newsom, with his smooth-talking, rapid-fire responses and his attempt to out-Trump Trump on social media aggression, is everything Kamala Harris wasn’t in 2024. But neither Californian can easily shake the biggest millstone dragging down their White House ambitions. Their failed progressive policies have sullied the Golden State’s image, driving up prices, homelessness, and mismanagement. The failures have not only driven citizens away but are also likely to turn off voters in swing battleground districts as well. California’s failures weren’t Harris’ biggest weakness in 2024—her word salads were. But the Golden State’s downward spiral was a close second. As wildfire victims held vigils and prayer circles on the anniversary of the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, Newsom on Thursday attempted to flip the script on California’s role as a GOP punchline. In his final State of the State address after years of releasing videotaped remarks, Newsom cast Trump’s control of Washington as a “carnival of chaos” amid the Democratic furor over an ICE agent shooting and killing a woman in Minnesota. He then positioned California as a “beacon” of fairness and resistance to Trump’s heavy-handed rule. Addressing the California legislature, which had just observed a moment of silence for the slain Minnesota woman, Renee Nicole Good, Newsom repeatedly pointed to Trump as a power-hungry threat to democracy who abused his power to call in the National Guard to quell unrest over ICE arrests and raids. “The president believes that might makes right, that the courts are simply speed bumps, not stops. That democracy is a nuisance to be circumvented. Secret police, businesses being raided, windows smashed, citizens detained, citizens shot, masked men snatching people in broad daylight, people disappearing,” Newsom charged. “None of this is normal,” he added. After throwing out the red meat for the Democratic base, Newsom then set out to normalize California’s dizzying array of failures under his watch. “The state is providing a different narrative—an operational model, a policy blueprint for others to follow,” he told state lawmakers. Newsom’s defiant defense of his state as a shining example for others to emulate may come as a shock for those who haven’t been watching his reinvention as a social media agitator and leader of the national redistricting battle. But Newsom’s attempt to go on offense on his biggest weakness—his policy failures—was his most audacious and sweeping thus far. After mimicking Trump’s belligerent social media style, Newsom stole another Trump play, labeling the state’s critics as suffering from “California Derangement Syndrome,” a revision of the “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” which MAGA deploys to brush off condemnation. “The declinists,” the pundits and conservative critics, simply don’t know the updated facts, Newsom asserted, arguing that they are working to “tear down, to try to attack all of our progress.” Early data for 2025, he said, indicate a 9% decline in homelessness, the first drop after an explosion of unsheltered people in California. He failed to mention that from 2019 to 2024, under his watch, homelessness rose to 188,000, a net increase of 37,000, or 24%, even though the state spent roughly $24 billion trying to curb it. “So, our investments paid off,” he claimed without an explanation. Newsom acknowledged that the decline was “not good enough,” and more work needs to be done as long as big homeless encampments still exist in major cities around the state. He failed to mention the high number of…

Kansas School Bans Students From Naming Kirk, Trump Or Jesus As Role Models Yet another example of why American parents are increasingly pulling their kids out of public institutions and turning to home schooling. Parents at an elementary school in Kansas are upset after students were reportedly told that they were not allowed to list President Donald Trump, late conservative activist Charlie Kirk and even Jesus Christ as their role models for an assignment. The incident at Marshall Elementary School in Eureka, Kansas occurred in October and only recently came to light because students were originally instructed not to tell their parents about what happened. The American Center for Law & Justice, described as “a politically conservative, Christian-based legal organization,” has filed a formal civil rights complaint with the school. The complaint accuses the district and Marshall Elementary School of religious discrimination, political or viewpoint discrimination, violation of free speech rights and retaliation. Students say a school guidance counselor, Kacey Countryman, gave sixth-graders an assignment called “Find Your Voice” as part of their "Leader In Me" program. They were asked to identify their role models, but conservative role models were apparently not allowed. “When a student identified Charlie Kirk as a role model, the guidance counselor got very uncomfortable and refused to allow this name to be written on the board, yelling that he was ‘not a hero,’ and that he was not a role model,” the complaint says. When a student chose Trump as their role model, the guidance counselor reportedly had the same response. Another parent says their child picked Jesus and was also denied. Unreal. Sixth grade students at a Kansas public school were told they could not name Charlie Kirk as a role model for an assignment. The assignment was called “Find Your Voice,” in which the students were asked to identify their role models. “When a student identified Charlie… pic.twitter.com/S3yS39qBlW — Andrew Kolvet (@AndrewKolvet) January 16, 2026 The complaint notes that “When a student selected President Donald J. Trump as a role model, the guidance counselor reiterated her prohibition even more angrily, stating that students could not write political or religious figures on the board, and in fact excluded political and religious topics altogether." Reports note that children picking secular and potentially controversial figures did not receive the same backlash from the counselor. The ACLJ has investigated a number of similar incidents in the past involving public school officials, including a recent controversy involving a Hawaiian school teacher who was punished by the district for allowing her students to talk about the assassination of Charlie Kirk during a Constitution Day discussion on free speech. Adminstrators placed a disciplinary memo in her file threatening future sanctions and told her she must immediately “shut down” any spontaneous student discussions on undefined “controversial issues.” These kinds of censorious policies run completely contrary to the spirit of the First Amendment and basic civics once taught in US schools in previous generations. The common conservative accusation that public schools have become poisonous indoctrination centers for the political left is proved correct weekly by similar stories of students being silenced for normal speech. The crackdown accelerated during the Biden Administration, along with the invasion of woke political propaganda into many taxpayer funded schools. The agenda is clear: Children are being bullied and extorted into abandoning conservative ideals. They are forced to embrace progressive talking points as a way to keep peace in their academic lives. There is no doubt that the rise of woke insanity in American society directly coincides with the decline of parental rights and participation in educational institutions. School officials believe their job is not to simply teach…
