Paul Krugman Issues Call for Denazification of USA

Let’s ask recently retired New York Times columnist Paul Krugman what we will be in for if today’s Democrats manage to secure power:

Barks the moonbat:

“We really need to do a thorough purging of the United States. We need a deMAGAfication … similar to denazification.”

David Strom notes that this implies…

…outlawing political parties, rooting out supporters of the political cause you want to purge, removing academics, doctors, and other professionals associated with the movement, and banning them all from public life.

If half of Democrats supported criminal penalties for questioning the effectiveness of Covid vaccines in 2022, imagine how they would treat MAGA Republicans, now that the Democratic Party has become starkly more radicalized — not to mention more angry.

Following WWII, some Nazis were hanged.

Jonathan Turley has more:

Republicans and law enforcement are now regularly called “Nazis” and “fascists” by Democratic leaders. Some are promising arrests from the President to individual police officers. Last week, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner promised to “hunt down” ICE officers like “Nazis.” Democratic strategist James Carville previously threatened that “collaborators” may be treated in the same way as they were after World War II.

Gov. Tim Walz, who has called ICE officers “Gestapo,” said that this may be our “Fort Sumter” moment, a triggering event for a civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

The dehumanization of political opponents gives people license for extreme or even violent responses. In cities like Minnesota, protesters carried signs reading “Kill Nazis” and we have seen assassination attempts on President Donald Trump and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Assassination won’t be necessary after they take control of the government. Then different words will be used for it.

Canadian Researcher and Activist Nicholas Jordan Wagter Detained in Psychiatric Facility

In the USSR, dissidents were often proclaimed to be insane and locked away in mental institutions, which served not only to silence but also to discredit them. This tradition appears to continue in Canada. The International Business Times reports on the incarceration of Nicholas Jordan Wagter:

The 27-year-old researcher and activist was detained under British Columbia’s Mental Health Act after a traffic stop involving Vancouver Police and a mental health response unit. …

No criminal charges have been filed against him.

No need for criminal charges. Just declare him insane.

As of 27 May, Wagter remained hospitalised and continued posting updates from inside the facility, including videos and photos claiming he was being held against his will despite allegedly being cleared by other medical professionals.

Some worry that he could be subjected to forced medication.

The Vancouver-based researcher holds a degree in medical biophysics and has published academic work, including a 2025 paper discussing theories tied to time perception and neuroscience.

That’s fine, but this could be a problem:

He frequently posted allegations involving government corruption, Chinese influence operations and national security concerns in Canada.

Conveniently,

Under British Columbia’s Mental Health Act, officials can detain someone for psychiatric evaluation if doctors believe the person may pose a risk to themselves or others or could seriously deteriorate without treatment.

Maybe Wagter really is dangerously insane. Doesn’t seem like it though. Here’s what a political arrest might look like under liberal soft tyranny:

Allowing Big Government to take over the medical field prevents people from getting timely medical care, but it has the advantage of facilitating medicalization as an approach to dealing with thought criminals. Let’s hope Wagter does not qualify for Medical Assistance in Dying, like the guy with the stomach issues outside Tim Hortons.

Babies Logged for Criminal Offenses in UK

You are never too young to be logged as a criminal in the Orwellian dystopia that was once Great Britain.

Via Modernity:

A one-year-old baby girl has been officially recorded as a crime suspect by Kent Police after allegedly causing a minor injury to another toddler. This is part of a shocking tally where 683 children under 10 were reported for offences over three years. …

None of these under-10s can be prosecuted — the age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 10 — yet police are dutifully logging every playground scrape, tantrum, or alleged slight under ridiculous Home Office rules.

As for the broader context,

It mirrors the broader UK push to turn nurseries, schools, and playgrounds into surveillance hubs for ideological compliance.

Just weeks ago, nurseries in Wales were urged to report “racist” toddlers to police under a £1.3 million taxpayer-funded scheme.

Childcare workers receive training to spot and log “hate incidents” by children barely out of nappies, complete with audits for “diversity” and lessons on “white privilege.” …

Materials for seven-year-olds hammer home “white privilege” and demand kids monitor their language and report peers.

Particularly inexcusable are any expressions deemed unfavorable toward Islam, mass immigration, and transsexualism.

To prevent thoughtcrime, it must be nipped in the bud. At the very least, authorities can keep a record of rug rats who might grow up to be problematic.

Down on the Democrat Farm: Maureen Galindo

Some Democrat prospects are a step ahead of their time, forcing more established party members to make a show of recoiling in horror from what progressives are progressing toward. Daily Caller reports on Democrat congressional candidate Maureen Galindo of Texas:

Galindo wrote in an Instagram post on May 13 that she wanted to turn an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing center into a “prison for American Zionists” and former ICE officers for so-called “human trafficking.”

She says the Karnes ICE Detention Center will also be used as “a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”

She might have to build more internment camps:

Most American Jews consider themselves Zionist, with some estimates as high as 95%.

Better make that lots more internment camps:

Galindo also told Axios she would have any elected officials or candidates tried for treason if they had ever taken money from pro-Israel lobbyists.

Galindo now faces a runoff after finishing first in the Democrat primary in the 35th district, which includes San Antonio.

A mysterious PAC is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to boost Galindo’s electoral chances.

Smells like George Soros, although Republicans might be responsible, in the assumption she will be easy to beat. But given that people like Zohran Mamdani and Katie Wilson have been getting elected, that would not be a sound strategy.

In her defense, Galindo explains that she doesn’t want Jews in internment camps for being Jewish but only for being Zionists. Also, she is the victim here, allegedly having received death threats and even “MAGA insults”:

Hakeem Jeffries Promises to Break the Spirit of Americans

They are not the opposition; they are the enemy. Don’t take my word for it; listen to top House Democrat Hakeem Jeffries snarl that he will break our spirits:

Via Fox News:

While speaking at a progressive conference on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., called for Democrats to not only defeat “MAGA extremists” electorally but also “break their spirit.”

By “MAGA extremists,” he means the majority of voting Americans, who elected Donald Trump.

During the panel, Jeffries assured, “As a guarantee, we are taking back control of the United States House of Representatives in November.”

If they do, this thug will be next in line to the presidency after JD Vance. In light of the Democrat proclivity to political violence, that means we would be two bullets away from President Hakeem Jeffries.

He wouldn’t break our spirits, but he would certainly try.

Preacher Dragged Off in Handcuffs in UK

A story on Fox News illustrates what it is like for Christians to live under the moonbat–Muslim alliance personified by Two-Tier Keir Starmer and London Mayor Sadiq Khan:

A 66-year-old U.K. pastor arrested while street preaching in London, said he is facing hate speech-related charges for preaching the Bible and speaking out against Islam.

The thought criminal is Pastor Steve Maile.

For 45 years, the New Zealand native has preached and performed mission work globally. …

However, a complaint led to his arrest while he was preaching on a high street in Watford on April 18. According to the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Maile’s case, he was singing and preaching a gospel message for about 10 minutes when he discussed Islam’s history of violence and called on Muslims to be saved by Jesus.

Uninformed thugs put him in painful handcuffs, mocked him, and bizarrely told him he was being arrested for assaulting a child.

Maile said he was detained for 12 hours without his phone and was not allowed to use the restroom.

They dropped the nonsense about assaulting a child, but…

Maile remains under investigation for an alleged public order offense.

Expressing viewpoints that moonbats and/or Muslims don’t like is illegal:

Under U.K. law, a person can be found guilty of a Section 5 offense if they use threatening or abusive words likely to cause “harassment, alarm, or distress.” While it typically results in a fine, a “religiously aggravated” charge can carry more severe penalties.

“Religiously aggravated” presumably means anti-Muslim, though it might also mean pro-Christian. Either way,

Maile noted he could face months or even years of imprisonment.

Pushback is emerging in the UK none too soon.

Radical Abigail Spanberger Goes After US Constitution

Somehow, Democrats managed to convince the gullible that Abigail “Let Your Rage Fuel You” Spanberger would govern Virginia as a moderate. She is a radical.

The Post Millennial reports:

Spanberger signed HB965 into law, which would effectively null and void votes cast in Virginia itself and only give its Electoral College votes to the nationwide popular vote winner.

This constitutes a direct attack on the US Constitution and thereby on our system of government. The idea is to guarantee Democrats permanent power if they can use open borders and the welfare state to pump up the government-dependent populations of a few blue states.

She laughs while doing it:

Speaking of attacks on the Constitution, which prominently upholds our right to bear arms — via Bearing Arms:

Virginia lawmakers will reconvene on April 22 to debate, approve, or reject Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s proposed amendments to dozens of pieces of legislation, including multiple gun control bills.

Her objective is to make pending antigun legislation even more tyrannical.

Under the language proposed by the governor, the first definition of an “assault firearm” would be “A semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol with a magazine capacity in excess of 15 rounds.”

For crying out loud. That would make the SR9 I use for concealed carry an assault weapon. Carrying it for self-defense in Virginia — home of the primary authors of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence — would result in up to 12 months in jail and/or a $2,500 fine.

One Virginia bill proposes making it illegal for 18–20-year-old adults to possess an “assault firearm” unless accompanied by an adult. Spanberger et al. are as dumb as they are anti-American.

A more accurate definition of assault firearms would be “guns that Abigail Spanberger types will come for first before coming for the rest of them.” Democrats know that their agenda cannot be fully implemented against a population capable of defending itself. They regard the Constitution as an obstacle.
