A group of Venezuelan socialists and communists over the weekend protested in Caracas against the oil agreement signed by Venezuela’s socialist regime and the United States. The state-owned, Caracas-based newspaper CiudadCCS reported that Saturday’s march was organized by the “Anti-Imperialist Popular Front,” a coalition of far-left chavista sympathizers of the Venezuelan socialist regime. According to Venezuelan and international outlets, the “Anti-Imperialist” front was formed in April with the stated goal of “fighting” America’s presence in Venezuela.

The Trump administration is preparing to ease federal fuel economy rules for cars and trucks, undoing stricter requirements adopted under former President Joe Biden. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday that the administration would soon release the new standards, which are expected to significantly lower the mileage targets automakers must meet. A proposal issued by NHTSA in December projected a combined industrywide average of roughly 34.5 mpg for passenger cars and light trucks by model year 2031, down from approximately 50.4 mpg under Biden-era rules. Speaking in Michigan, Duffy said the administration wants Detroit manufacturers to produce vehicles based on…
Screencap of Twitter/X video. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was recently speaking to Larry Kudlow of the FOX Business Network about the economy and the topic of socialism and the DSA came up.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics: LARRY KUDLOW: I was talking last night at dinner. We’re seeing the people that finance ministers are sitting next to at your head table. So…
London’s Metropolitan Police force again attempted to downplay the criminality and violence of the multicultural Notting Hill Carnival, claiming that the street festival passed “largely without incident”, despite a record number of arrests and a man drowning to death. According to initial estimates from Scotland Yard, there were 636 arrests over the course of the two-day Afro-Caribbean event, a figure that will likely continue to rise. People were arrested for various offences, including sexual assaults, stabbings, and attacks on emergency workers. The 636 arrests this year easily surpassed last year’s record of 528. According to the Met, 242 arrests were made…
The Washington Post is spotlighting a young Haitian migrant who tragically killed himself in Ohio amid the deportations mandated by the 2024 presidential election and managed by President Donald Trump’s agencies. “A promising young man, a high school honors grad… His blood is on their hands,” claimed pro-migration advocate Aaron Reichlin at the American Immigration Council. The suicide was described by one of The Washington Post’s many journalists who claim to cover migration issues: Pierre Damas Bel, 20, parked on the shoulder of Interstate 70 in Springfield, Ohio, some time before 8:45 a.m., got out of his vehicle and walked into westbound…
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh ordered Michigan officials to respond by noon Wednesday to an emergency request seeking to place a voter identification amendment on the state’s November ballot. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Board of State Canvassers, and other state officials must answer the application filed by Americans for Citizen Voting.

It gives Michigan officials an opportunity to present their arguments before the justices decide whether to grant emergency relief. Americans for Citizen Voting turned to the Supreme Court on Monday after Michigan election…
The GOP-led US House of Representatives censured creepy Rep. Chuck Edwards on Tuesday. Earlier this year, Edwards was investigated and censured by the House Committee on Ethics over allegations that he had behaved inappropriately with female staffers. Rep. Edwards withdrew from his reelection campaign after the House Ethics Committee recommended the censure. The stunning withdrawal came just two days after the bipartisan House Ethics Committee released a report recommending that the full House censure Edwards over what investigators described as “persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct” toward two young female staffers. According to the committee’s official report, investigators conducted 16 witness…

Wendell Berry’s Politics of Coming Home When I got the news last night that Wendell Berry had died, I was on my front porch with my dogs and my daughters. We had been inspecting a large brown toad who was wandering among the stones in the front yard.

By the time September arrives, the summer’s work is visible. This particular toad was so large that my smaller dog, a…
