Meet Angie Nixon, the Democrats’ next nutjob candidate

It's always entertaining to watch the socialists who are running as Democrats but who are really Marxists and communists as they scream in the streets about equity and racism and oink, oink, capitalists. On the street-screaming front, Angie Nixon already has her certificate of completion.

LISTEN: Democrats are still TDS-Strong

President Trump has been a tremendous asset in terms of keeping the country from going down a path of leftist lunacy and socialist darkness. But Democrats are still infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Vance misses mark on socialism comments

Vice President J.D. Vance said the way to stop socialism is not by "throwing slogans at people about the free market," but rather "by making people's lives better.

Francesca Hong’s loss is still a win for socialists

Francesca Hong's loss is still a win for the far left. The fact she was able to secure 39.33 percent of the vote to David Crowley's 39.81 percent shows the sheer force of the socialist beast that's swallowing moderates in the Democrat Party -- and it's one that's not going away any time soon.

WATCH: The ripple effect of Israel’s upcoming elections
