Daniel Sickles, a New York Democrat, saw Philip Barton Key near Lafayette Square in Washington and went after him with guns.

If they can do it to me, they can do it to anyone who doesn’t hold the views that the leftist establishment finds acceptable. With Amazon being almost the only source for books now, and by far the largest, that’s a dangerous development for any society that values the freedom of speech.]]>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 16:07:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Amazon]]><![CDATA[Censorship]]><![CDATA[Free Speech]]><![CDATA[Islam]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/08/22/is-amazon-suppressing-a-book-that-is-critical-of-islam-n4956438<![CDATA[The Democrat Party wants you to believe its socialist wing is a fringe act, a quirky guest allowed to sit at the far end of the "big tent" table. Move along, folks, nothing to see here. Democrat leaders roll out some version of that talking point every time a reporter asks about the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and its expanding influence inside the party. They’re pretending that this isn’t going to be a liability for them in the midterm elections.]]>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 15:34:00 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Margolis]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Chuck Schumer]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[DNC]]><![CDATA[Socialism]]><![CDATA[Abdul El-Sayed]]>https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/08/22/the-democrats-have-already-lost-to-the-socialists-n4956436<![CDATA[For your latest homeschooling advertisement, I bring you the infamous teachers’ union boss Randi Weingarten, who as usual is prioritizing woke politics over quality education to start off the school year.]]>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 13:28:00 -0400<![CDATA[Catherine Salgado]]><![CDATA[Education]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]><![CDATA[Randi Weingarten]]><![CDATA[Woke]]>https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/08/22/union-boss-weingartens-back-to-school-priority-boycotting-target-for-not-bashing-ice-n4956431<![CDATA[I was a teenage neopagan.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 12:45:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jamie K.

We all know that Joe Biden was cognitively impaired during his presidency; I mean, we all watched him for four years, it was obvious.

Since Donald Trump announced his third candidacy in 2022, that very day I voiced my preference for Vance to be his vice presidential nominee.
