Moderate Democrats are STILL denouncing socialism and communism, even though the democratic socialists are rapidly taking the party by storm. #Socialism #DemocraticSocialists #DSA

Over 1,000 Communist Rebels and Supporters in the Philippines Neutralized As of August 13

Over a thousand rebels of the New People’s Army (NPA) and their supporters were neutralized as of August 13, according to a news article of the Philippine News Agency (PNA) citing the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Neutralized refers to the surrender, capture, or killing of enemy troops.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the PNA. Some parts in boldface…

The government’s campaign against communist insurgents is gaining momentum as the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) reported neutralizing 1,045 New People’s Army (NPA) rebels and their supporters during operations conducted from Jan. 1 to Aug. 13 this year.

Of the total, 935 surrendered, 38 were arrested, and 72 were killed in various military operations, AFP spokesperson Col. Francel Margareth Padilla said in a media interview late Tuesday.

“A total of 661 firearms and 255 anti-personnel mines were either seized or surrendered, and 38 encampments were seized (in the same period),” she said.

Neutralized is a military term that refers to the surrender, capture, or killing of enemy troops.

“The numbers give us an indication of the operational situation, but we should look beyond the numbers. The more significant story is that 935 CTG (communist terrorist group) members and supporters chose to surrender,” Padilla pointed out.

In 2025, the military said it neutralized around 2,018 NPA members and their supporters. The bulk of whom were surrenderers, at 1,798, while 93 were arrested and 127 were killed.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are you thankful to the AFP for neutralizing over a thousand Communist rebels and supporters as of mid-August? Are you convinced that there are still many millions of young Filipinos who took sides with the Leftist rebels? Do you think Democrats and/or the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) from the United States are secretly supporting Communist rebels here in the Philippines?

Congressman Is Ousted by #DemocraticSocialist in #Michigan House Primary

Representative #ShriThanedar is among a wave of Democratic incumbents in Congress whom primary voters have sent packing in a surge of anti-incumbent fervor this cycle.

By Bayliss Wagner, Aug. 5, 2026

"Democratic primary voters ousted Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, nominating a democratic socialist for a deep-blue district in the latest sign of the party’s hunger for new blood.

"Mr. Thanedar narrowly lost to #DonavanMcKinney, a state representative, in the 13th Congressional District, which includes parts of #Detroit and its suburbs. The race was called on Wednesday morning.

"Both candidates are progressive and support policies like funding universal health care and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But Mr. McKinney, 34, who is Black and grew up in Detroit, has contrasted his background with that of Mr. Thanedar, 71, an Indian immigrant who was elected to Congress in 2022. Mr. Thanedar’s victory that year left Detroit, a city that is roughly three-quarters Black, without a Black representative in Washington for the first time in decades.

"The primary also highlighted Democratic voters’ continued backlash against lawmakers who support Israel. Mr. McKinney has condemned the war in Gaza as a '#genocide' and campaigned with fellow #ProPalestinian Democrats, including Dr. #AbdulElSayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan’s marquee Senate race. Mr. Thanedar, in contrast, has consistently voted to fund aid for the Jewish state."

You must be desperate when you resort to the same old communist scare tactics from the 1950s—just to avoid accountability. Meanwhile, people can’t afford food or healthcare under the Trump regime. They have no answers for that, only lining their pockets with market manipulation.

#DemocraticSocialists surge in mayoral races across the US as anti-Trump fervor rises

By MATT BROWN

WASHINGTON (AP) — "As #JaneeseLewisGeorge paves a path to the mayor’s office in #WashingtonDC, she’s told voters they could have it all.

"Her unapologetically expansive, left-wing agenda includes subsidized or even free #childcare, increased down payment assistance for homebuyers and community resources to reduce crime, plus a promise to aggressively confront President Donald Trump’s attempts to reshape the nation’s capital.

" 'People are tired of hearing what government can’t do. They want to hear what government can do,' Lewis George said in an interview before the city’s primary, where she defeated her Democratic opponents and positioned herself to win the general election in November in a city dominated by Democrats.

"Lewis George’s victory signals a break with a quarter-century of centrist governance in Washington, and it puts her in the vanguard of democratic socialists who have ascended in urban politics over the last year. #ZohranMamdani toppled Andrew Cuomo, the scion of a political dynasty, on his way to becoming New York City mayor. #KatieWilson won an upset victory to lead Seattle last fall. And this month, #NithyaRaman clinched a spot in the November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass."

Zohran Mamdani's Win Is the Beginning of the End of the Old Democratic Party

Mamdani’s NYC primary victory shows that the old tricks of the political establishment are dying out—and something new is being born.

by Hamilton Nolan, June 25, 2025

Excerpt: "What, exactly, is the scary socialism of Zohran Mamdani that all of the #billionaires are screaming about from their high towers? #FreeBuses. #LowerRents. #PublicChildcare. Higher minimum wage. #SocialWorkers for homeless people instead of cops. Better grocery stores. Ahh! No! Not… not… all of these common sense ideas that the vast majority of NYC residents would be happy for! Anything but that!

"There is a limit to the political effectiveness of #RichMen who have servants telling regular people that their lives cannot be better. We may have reached that limit. The threat of the rich is that they will flee the city. The flaw in their leverage is that almost nobody likes them anyhow.

"Zohran’s campaign was distinguished by its determination to treat voters as adults. When accused of ​'defunding the police,' Mamdani took the time to explain that he wants to create a department of mental health experts and social workers to take work off the NYPD’s plate. When accused of #antisemitism, he took the time to forthrightly distinguish that smear from valid criticism of the massacre in #Gaza. He was, often, more adult than the political press covering him, which is trained to treat dishonest attack lines as sporting challenges rather than as things to be dismissed. The youngest candidate in this race acted with the most maturity. The oldest, #AndrewCuomo, ran with the traditional playbook of treating voters like ignorant children — and failed.

"Old people with old ideas do not stay in power forever. Old lies and old tricks do not work forever. Time moves slowly — excruciatingly slowly, if you are always paying attention — but it does sweep away the old husks and bring new things, eventually. #Socialists want more people to have decent lives. Zohran Mamdani is proof that that message cannot be mischaracterized forever and ever. We will look back on this primary win as the start of something new. If America is going to have one lone opposition party to #fascism, that party does not have to suck. The establishment is too deeply rooted to move. So we will run them over."
