I'd argue feminism causes more harm than car bombs

Another similarity was China helped fund the Black Panthers then and they are helping to fund Antifa now.

How exactly was the Democrat party hijacked? Almost everything coming out of Mamdani's mouth is what the Democrats have said or are saying that they want for this country. So, no, it wasn't hijacked, it wasn't a hostile takeover. What it was was the cowardly acquiescence of the party's leaders to the mob. The Democrats may find that putting the genie back in the bottle concerning the DSA, will be a lot harder than it was releasing it. We'll see.

While the media reports on Trump brokering peace between Cambodia and Thailand, the articles fail to mention that in the 70s, it is reported that 1/3 of the population died under Pol Pot. That is a staggering number. A historian said that there were internment camps run by children as young as 12. Reading the friction between the two countries was about an ancient temple and that Buddhist monks prayed for Trump, bears out the possibility that we will go back to our roots at some point.
