  • Kayleigh McEnany:
    “LIVING DEAD” LIAR FOR TRUMP

    by Bob Avakian The “mainstream” media of this system (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) often talk about how Kayleigh McEnany lies in her capacity as “Press Secretary” for the Trump White House. No one should be surprised by this: If you are going to represent the Liar-in-Chief, you have to constantly, systematically lie. But, while CNN & Co. make a point of repeatedly insisting that facts are important, here is a fact that these “mainstream” media will not tell you: Kayleigh McEnany is a religious fundamentalist fanatic (part of the “living dead” legions of this regime), so she is completely out of […]

     
  • A REAL REVOLUTION — A REAL CHANCE TO WIN

  • FASCISTS TODAY AND THE CONFEDERACY
    A DIRECT LINE, A DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN ALL THE OPPRESSION

    by Bob Avakian Recently there has been an uproar at Liberty University, in Lynchburg (!) Virginia, over the fact that its president, Jerry Falwell Jr., who (like many other Christian fundamentalists) had been refusing to wear a mask, then posted a picture of himself wearing a mask with a “blackface” image. This was actually a photo of Ralph Northam (Democratic governor of Virginia) in “blackface” during his college days, and Falwell’s apparent purpose was to use this to ridicule Northam (and, by extension, Democrats, “liberals,” and other enemies of Christian fascists like Falwell). Falwell was apparently “tone deaf” (as the […]
