Do You Hate Communism Enough?

Posted on | May 11, 2026 | No Comments

The answer to the question in the headline is obviously no — it is impossible that any of us could hate Communism as much as we should. Unless you were a Chilean helicopter pilot back in the day, perhaps, you could almost certainly use a booster shot for your anti-Communism.

This point was brought home by Data Republican:

I am going to keep repeating this until people understand this.
Karen Bass was not only a Castro operative and Communist, but she got elevated to Vice Chair of National Endowment for Democracy, which is the center of soft power operations in the US government. She is not a “DEI mayor.” She is extremely powerful at the global stage.
She was actively involved in shaping foreign policy with the Obama administration, especially Africa. Her Ghana visit during the LA wildfires wasn’t a vacation, it was part of a Biden delegate to greet Ghana’s new President.
She was considered HUD Secretary for the Biden administration. Instead, she nominated the person who would become the actual HHS Secretary – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
Now, let me ask you. If a literal Castro operative gets elevated to this stage, what does this imply about the rest of the United States government?

Is this clear enough? Too many of our Republican friends dismiss Bass as a dimwitted clown, dangerous only because of her incompetence. However, Bass has held positions of major influence, and was among the finalists in Biden’s search for a VP pick in 2020. It was when she was under consideration for that choice that her early involvement in the Venceremos Brigade attracted critical scrutiny:

In the mid-1970s, California Congresswoman Karen Bass, who is now under consideration to be Joe Biden’s running mate, was an organizer for the Venceremos Brigade, according to several contemporaneous media accounts and an interview with the future congresswoman published in a 1996 Ph.D. dissertation. The brigade organized six-week work trips for American leftists of all tendencies who wanted to visit and support Cuba . . .
An event blurb in an October 1975 issue of the communist Daily World newspaper describes Bass, then 22, as “leader of the Venceremos Brigade in southern California.” Bass herself explained her work for the brigade to a doctoral candidate working on a 1996 Ph.D. dissertation submitted to the Fielding Institute, titled “Women Activists of Diverse Backgrounds: A Qualitative Study of Perceived Influences and Values.” “Another critical influence for Bass began, at age 19, and spanned the next five years: Cuba,” reads the document, written by Dawn Noggle, who is currently the director of mental health services for the Maricopa County correctional system. “As a ‘brigadista’ and then organizer for the Venceremos Brigades, Karen visited Cuba every 6 months.”

If the Daily World considered you a comrade? Yeah. And if you study more about the Venceremos Brigade, you realize that this group is what we may call terrorist-adjacent: The infamous Susan Rosenberg traveled to Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade in 1976.

In case you don’t know, Susan Rosenberg was part of the Weather Underground faction calling itself the May 19th Communist Organization (M19), which perpetrated the murderous 1981 Brinks robbery and bombed the U.S. Capitol in 1983. Violent hatred of America is what the Venceremos Brigade was really all about and yet, somehow, Karen Bass’s years of membership did not disqualify her from being elected to Congress and then becoming mayor of Los Angeles?

You may hate Communism as much as I do — which, nevertheless, is not enough — but there is clearly a larger problem: In the post-Cold War era, too many Americans don’t even realize that Communism is still an active danger, and therefore are willing to vote for radicals like Karen Bass. People need to beware of the existential threat of the Red Menace.

It’s a Long Way to Hope

Posted on | May 10, 2026 | No Comments

If you’ve ever been to Lithia Springs, Georgia, where I grew up, you know where Thornton Road is. When I was a kid, parts of it were a dirt road, but now it’s a major thoroughfare. As it comes up north from I-20, Thornton Road is Georgia Route 6, but when it crosses Bankhead Highway (U.S. 78) it becomes U.S. 278. It’s a fine road that goes up through Dallas, Rockmart and Cedartown before crossing over into Alabama. It never once occurred to me to wonder where that highway goes after it gets to Alabama, until the other day I was watching a YouTube video of an Arkansas State Police pursuit and saw the scene depicted in the photo above: “Wow — 278 goes all the way to Arkansas?”

Yes, after making a long loop through north Mississippi — among other things, going pass the campus of Ole Miss — U.S. 278 crosses the Mississippi near Greenville and enters Arkansas and then goes about 180 miles west before it crosses U.S. 29 in the town of Hope. Perhaps you’ve heard of the most famous native of Hope, Arkansas, but that’s just coincidental. Here’s the guy that got my attention:

Kywaun Renel Myhkeem Washington

A couple of weeks ago, Trooper Adrienne Colvin was on patrol in Hope when she spotted a tan Mercury Grand Marquis turn off the highway into a gas station. She ran the car’s license plate and found that the tag actually belonged on a black Chevy Sonic. That’s a crime called “fictitious plates.” So when the Mercury left the gas station, Trooper Colvin blue-lighted the vehicle, which pulled over. Behind the wheel was 26-year-old Kywaun Renel Myhkeem Washington, from Little Rock.

Little Rock is more than 100 miles away from Hope, which to my mind raises the question of why this guy was so far from home on a Thursday afternoon, but Trooper Colvin was focused on the issue of why the license plate from a Chevy was on that Mercury. The driver didn’t have any explanation that made sense. Meanwhile, Trooper Colvin took his license back to her patrol car and, upon entering Kywaun Washington’s name into the computer system, learned that he had outstanding warrants for his arrest. She then returned to the Mercury, informed Washington that he needed to “exit the vehicle,” at which point he put it in drive and floored it, starting a pursuit that reached 100 mph and lasted six minutes before Washington ran off the road, crashed the car and was arrested.



 

FMJRA 2.0: Waiting for the Winter Meetings

So apparently we’re having a little trouble in Pete’s league getting people to play their playoff games, which is kind of annoying since those of us who didn’t make the playoffs would like to get on with the draft for the 1975 season. In the meantime I’m crunching numbers and looking at where I need to improve for 1975, and also working on a sequel to last year’s Substack article about the team. In the meantime, enjoy this lunacy from the mind of Grok, with some edits from yours truly.

Trump Derangement Syndrome Reaches Terminal Stage as Democrats Seethe

Posted on | May 9, 2026 | No Comments

Are you tired of all this winning yet? If you were on X (née Twitter) Friday, you could see Democrats raging vehemently (and ignorantly) against the Virginia Supreme Court decision, which held that last month’s referendum to redraw the Commonwealth’s congressional districts violated the Virginia constitution. When I traveled to Louisa County for a “Vote No” rally, several of the state GOP people in attendance mentioned the unconstitutional nature of the process by which the General Assembly put the referendum on the ballot. This was not a secret, but many Democrats seemed to have paid no attention to these objections, so that Friday’s ruling took them by surprise. This idiot, for example:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris claimed that the Virginia Supreme Court “ignored the will of the people” by killing the Democrats’ plan to redraw the state’s congressional maps in their favor ahead of the midterm elections.
In a post on X, Harris claimed that the ruling “gives a boost” to President Donald Trump’s efforts to try to “rig” the upcoming midterm elections. Harris also stated that while Democrats were “rightfully outraged,” they would continue their “fight to restore the power of the people.”
“Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for new Congressional maps” Harris wrote. “Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps.”

As has been explained, the Virginia state constitution spells out a very specific process by which the constitution can be amended. Just five years ago, the Commonwealth ratified an amendment that set up a non-partisan commission to draw the state’s districts. Last month’s referendum sought to amend that, providing a “temporary” exemption so that the legislature could redraw the map. But if you read the Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling, you see that Democrats rushed this measure through in a way that violated the process spelled out in the Virginia constitution. Most of the Democrats shrieking about the decision simply didn’t read the decision, which explains all this, which is why they are in seethe-and-cope mode, denouncing the Virginia Supreme Court as being part of some right-wing conspiracy on behalf of Trump.

Please note the source of the confusion: Democrats are laser-focused on winning the November midterms, taking control of the House and impeaching Trump. So they see everything as all connected — last year’s redistricting in Texas, last week’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, and now this Virginia Supreme Court ruling. The Louisiana ruling cleared the way for other states, including both Tennessee and Florida, to redraw their maps to add GOP-favored districts, and the net effect of all this is to make it more difficult for Democrats to win in November. If Republicans somehow maintain their House majority in the midterms, Democrats will miss out on their last chance to impeach Trump, and seeing their hope fade is triggering their Trump Derangement Syndrome.
