Lifelong Democrat and Ex-Clinton Official Drops Truth Bomb — Warns Socialist Takeover of the Party Is a ‘FUNDAMENTAL THREAT’ to America:

A lifelong Democrat who served on President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council and in the State Department under Madeleine Albright is issuing a stark warning that every American needs to hear.

Jamie Metzl, a human rights and civil rights advocate with deep roots in the Democrat Party establishment, took to X on Saturday and declared that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) represent a clear and present danger, not just to his party, but to America.

According to Metzl, this is a highly coordinated, dangerous strategy by a small group of radical extremists who are actively working to hijack the Democrat Party, crash our economy, and completely dismantle our American system of government.

Look at what Metzl posted in his devastating exposé:

"This is not a story about a few idealists seeking to reduce healthcare costs. It is about a small group of radical extremists pursuing a strategy to take over the Democratic Party and ultimately our country in order to impose an agenda that would devastate our economy and fundamentally dismantle our system of government.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Gustavo Gordillo went on national television and openly defended the DSA’s radical platform while demonstrating a shocking ignorance of basic American government.

He called the United States Senate an “undemocratic institution” because it gives equal representation to smaller states and large ones, revealing he does not even understand the fundamental difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The DSA’s official “Workers Deserve More” platform, which The Gateway Pundit has extensively documented, calls for:

  • Eliminate the U.S. Senate.
  • Replace the President with an executive chosen by Congress.
  • Replace the Supreme Court with a judiciary subordinate to Congress.
  • Grant universal amnesty to all illegal aliens.
  • Defund the Department of Defense (which the platform refers to as the “Department of War”).
  • Close overseas U.S. military bases.
  • End American economic sanctions against foreign adversaries.
  • Abolish what it calls the “carceral forces of the capitalist state,” including sweeping police and prison reforms.

If implemented, these proposals would fundamentally transform the American system of government by eliminating the constitutional separation of powers established by the Founding Fathers.

The DSA has become increasingly influential inside Democrat politics, with many of its members and allies winning elected office at the local, state, and federal levels.

Mamdani desperately seeking legal loophole to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu when Israel PM visits NYC:

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he’s desperately seeking a legal loophole to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes when he visits in NYC in September.

The Pro-Palestine, Israel-hating, socialist pol said in an interview published Saturday that it’s unclear whether he has the authority to order the NYPD to arrest Netanyahu during the prime minister’s expected trip to the Big Apple for the UN General Assembly – but is in an “active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about the matter.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani bluntly told The New York Times, referring to the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.

Mamdani – who has made accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza a focal point of a far-left ideology that has helped propel him into the national spotlight  – vowed during last year’s campaign that, if elected mayor, he’d have Netanyahu arrested if he ever set foot in NYC.

He cited the International Criminal Court’s 2024 arrest warrant for Netanyahu — which the U.S. doesn’t recognize.

Netanyahu, however, remains unfazed by Mamdani’s threats.

Congress Has a Chance to Deliver Price Tags in Healthcare:

The following content is sponsored by Save Our States and written by its executive director, Trent England.

Why does the price of healthcare keep going up? We all pay, whether in rising insurance premiums, out-of-pocket charges, higher taxes, or both private and public debt. Yet now a simple idea—price transparency—could bring costs under control.

The biggest single driver of rising healthcare costs are hospitals, which account for nearly a third of healthcare spending. Add in physicians and clinics and you’re over half. One thing these providers often have in common is a reluctance to provide real prices before patients make treatment decisions.

Americans shop and compare prices for every other purchase. Why, for medical care, are we kept in the dark?

Politicians have been talking about healthcare reform for decades. They passed the so-called Affordable Care Act, which actually pushed prices up while trying to hide them with taxpayer-funded subsidies. Other measures—often highly complex reforms—have done little, at best. Yet today, the very simple idea of price transparency is gaining support from thoughtful members of both political parties.

All this reform asks is that we get to know what things costs.

Price tags are protection from surprise billing. They also let patients compare and often save money. 

I’ve seen it myself. Last year, my doctor recommended a minor outpatient surgery. Many Americans have been conditioned to do whatever a doctor says, then cross their fingers hoping insurance will foot most of the bill. This lets doctors and hospitals charge more and more, and then blame insurance when premiums inevitably go up.

Instead, I asked for a price. The doctor’s hospital gave me an “estimate” of more than $10,000. Yet when I reached out to our local surgical center, their guaranteed price was $3,200.

Why do hospitals hide prices? My story makes it clear, and it isn’t complicated: when prices are hidden, prices go up.

Healthcare providers often claim to publish prices when really providing almost useless data. Patients shouldn’t need an economics or computer science degree to decipher healthcare prices. 

...Congress should require healthcare executives to certify the completeness and accuracy of their pricing data and establish consequences for violating the law. After all, patients are held accountable for medical bills—healthcare executives should be held accountable for publishing accurate prices.

Congress has an opportunity to stop nibbling the edges of price transparency and actually do it—delivering simple, powerful healthcare reform. This is about changing the culture in American healthcare, for medical providers, insurance purchasers, and patients. Hidden prices always become higher prices.

Americans need more than vague promises of transparency in healthcare. We need price tags.
