The reason communism never dies is because envy never dies, and communism is little more than the politics of resentment - it is the desire to take from others and give to yourself, because you believe they have too much when you don’t have enough. It is really this simple.

There’s a reason why Florida was the only state that went darker red.
Florida was the only state “immune” from the blue wave.
That’s not a coincidence.
They were the only state that fully cleansed their election system.
Desantis deserves credit for that.
Mara Lago area even flipped a blue seat.
Florida will eventually become the template.
Here’s how Florida protected it’s election system:
(Brave search)
SB 90 (signed May 2021)
•Required voters to renew their vote-by-mail registration every election cycle(previously valid for four years)
•Restricted ballot drop boxes to early-voting hours and required staffing
•Banned third-party ballot collection("ballot harvesting"); possessing more than two mail ballots became a crime
•Required the last four digits of a Social Security or driver's license number to register or request a mail ballot
•Banned private/outside funding of election administration (the so-called "Zuckerbucks" ban)
•Mandated hourly real-time turnout data on a statewide dashboard
SB 524 (signed April 2022)
•Created the Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS), a 25-person unit under the Secretary of State, one of the first dedicated election-crime units in the nation
•Made collecting more than two mail ballots a felony (previously a misdemeanor)
•Required annual voter-roll cleanup(previously every two years)
•Banned ranked-choice voting statewide
•Raised fines for voter-registration violations from $1,000 to $50,000
Florida SAVE Act / HB 991 (signed April 2026)
•Expanded citizenship verification at voter registration
•Removed student ID as an acceptable form of voter identification
•Tightened candidate qualification rules
————
Did you catch the important “safeguards” that protected against yesterday’s election steal?
They centered around registration integrity, vote counting integrity and ballot integrity.
And “student ID” is not valid to vote.
Citizenship requirement to vote.
This is all coming nationwide.
But first you have to expose and prosecute the fraudulent election system officials to kick off the demand for a nationwide cleansing.
I believe that is incoming.
A man on Facebook named Tom Gibble perfectly describes what he calls "Generation Jones" who were kids born between 1954 and 1965.
We are neither Boomers nor Gen X as we don't quite fit in with either generation. We are a sub-category of our own.
I belong to Generation Jones … that unique group of people born between 1954 and 1965, tucked into the tail end of the Baby Boom and just ahead of Generation X. But lumping us in with the Boomers doesn’t quite tell our story.
We grew up with the optimism of postwar America, believing in possibilities, progress, and a future that seemed full of promise. But we were also young enough to watch that optimism collide with reality. We remember the assassinations, civil rights struggles, Vietnam, the riots, Watergate, and the growing uncertainty of the 1970s. We weren’t quite old enough to be the Woodstock generation, but we were old enough to understand that the world wasn’t necessarily going to turn out the way our parents imagined.
We’re also the generation that grew up listening to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, and Led Zeppelin, only to find ourselves dancing to the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, and disco before we knew what hit us. We remember eight-track tapes, vinyl records, rotary phones, television with three channels, and actually having to get up to change them.
We experienced childhood without computers, cell phones, or the internet, but then lived through the technological revolution that changed practically everything about how we work, communicate, and live.
We straddled two very different worlds, and I think that gave us a perspective that is sometimes overlooked.
I suppose what I’d really like is for Generation Jones to get a little recognition, but more importantly, for all generations to make an effort to understand one another. We’re not simply younger Boomers, and we’re not older Gen Xers. We have our own memories, experiences, cultural references, disappointments, accomplishments, and sense of humor.
We inherited some of the idealism of the generation before us, developed a healthy dose of skepticism along the way, and learned to adapt to a world that kept reinventing itself.
So, if you’re a fellow Joneser, let us know in the comments. And if you’re from another generation, get to know us before you decide who we are. Every generation has a story worth hearing. Ours just happens to fall somewhere in the middle.
Peace out! Tom Gibble

AN AMERICAN HERO EMERGES IN DEMOCRAT-GOVERNED OREGON, AND HIS ACTIONS RAISE A QUESTION POLITICIANS CANNOT IGNORE!
Yesterday, October 15, 2026, something horrific happened at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon.
A 16-year-old armed with a shotgun forced his way into an elementary school, where children should have been learning, laughing, and preparing to return home to their families.
Three innocent children, ages 5, 8, and 11, and a 54-year-old teacher lost their lives. Another child and teacher were critically injured.
And then an ordinary American citizen did something extraordinary.
He saw the armed attacker enter the school. Rather than retreat, he followed him inside, confronted him, and stopped the attack with his own firearm before police could intervene.
That is not political conjecture. That is what authorities reported.
Consider the sheer temerity of that decision.
He had no guarantee he would survive. He had no certainty about what awaited him beyond those doors. But he recognized that defenseless children were in immediate danger.
And he acted.
That is courage. That is selflessness. That is an American hero.
Now consider the political implications.
Oregon has a Democratic governor and a Democratic-controlled state legislature. Its elected leadership has supported additional firearm restrictions in the name of public safety.
Yet when this particular emergency unfolded, it was an armed civilian who ended the attack.
That fact deserves serious examination, not partisan evasion.
The question is not whether every firearm regulation is ineffective. The question is whether lawmakers are adequately accounting for the ability of law-abiding citizens to intervene when innocent people face an immediate threat.
Because yesterday, that ability mattered.
The social media post identifies this hero as Kaylub Giamanco. However, as of this morning, major news reports have not independently confirmed his identity. His actions are verified, but the name attached to these photographs should be treated as unconfirmed.
Governor Tina Kotek, herself a Democrat, publicly praised the citizen who intervened. That acknowledgment matters because protecting children should transcend political affiliation.
We can mourn these precious children, pray for their families, honor the teacher, and recognize the extraordinary bravery of the citizen who intervened without surrendering our responsibility to scrutinize public policy.
May God comfort these grieving families and strengthen the survivors.
And may this courageous American receive the recognition he deserves.

This may be the most corrupt thing I’ve ever heard in my life
A Democrat federal judge made it illegal for Republicans to be poll watchers since the 80’s. Democrats have been renewing the injunction every 5 years. This only ended in 2020
READ THAT AGAIN
“Something else people don't know is that start in the mid-1980s, there was a federal district court judge in New Jersey, who entered a consent decree that Republicans could not be poll watchers. So from mid-80’s until 2020, Republicans were not allowed to be poll watchers on these national elections.
And what happened was that judge eventually died and the Democrats, the DNC, they had to go get that injunction renewed every 5-8 years, something along those lines.
And when that judge died, he was replaced by an Obama judge, and they went back to that judge and they said, we want this consent decree in place making so Republicans cannot be poll watchers and cannot be a part of this process.
And he said, what in the heck are you talking about? This is absolutely so unconstitutional. And he refused to renew that consent decree. He refused to renew that injunction.
So 2020 was one of the first years that we had professional Republican poll watchers in these elections to see what was going on in Atlanta, in Detroit, in Milwaukee, in, you know, in in Philadelphia. It was the first time we were able to really see what was going on in these polling places.
What that tells me is that probably a lot of these shenanigans were been going on for a long, long time, but there were no Republicans there to report on it.”
Our elections have always been rigged by Democrats

A BOMBSHELL study just found that a SINGLE dose of a newly discovered frog-gut bacterium ERADICATES 100% of cancerous tumors within days in mice.
The natural bacterium Ewingella americana selectively targets, colonizes, and terminates tumors WITHOUT toxicity.
When they re-introduced cancer into the cured animals... the tumors COULD NOT GROW.

Here's why the world feels like its falling apart.
In 1895, a French psychologist named Gustave Le Bon mapped out how civilizations are built and how they fall apart.
He called it the lifecycle. Here's how it works:
Scattered people find a shared ideal.
Typically a religion, mission, or vision of order, and it pulls them together into something greater than themselves.
That ideal builds institutions, culture, law, economies, and art. The civilization rises, and for a while, it works.
Then the ideal fades across generations.
The shared purpose that held everything together quietly drains out, and what replaces it is barbaric self-interest.
People stop asking what they owe the whole and start asking what they can take from it. Duty gives way to entitlement.
The institutions remain standing, but they’re running on fumes — coasting on the reputation of a past they had no part in building.
That’s where it gets dangerous. Because from the outside, nothing looks broken.
The buildings still stand, the summits are still scheduled, and the flags still fly.
But the load-bearing structure underneath (the ideal that bound the whole thing together) has rotted out.
Over a century ago, Le Bon watched this pattern devour every civilization he studied. Read it today and it feels like a diary entry.

Not the way I planned on spending my afternoon, but 7,600 comments should not be ignored! Bots, trolls and personal attacks notwithstanding, the critics of yesterday’s post were dominated by a large and vocal contingent who rushed to remind me that there’s “a difference between socialism and communism,” an obvious indication that they didn’t actually read the post.
Shelley Armour writes… “Mike! You know there is a difference between democratic socialism and communism, right?”
Hi, Shelley. Yes, I know there’s a difference, and I understand what the difference is. The larger point, and the fundamental flaw with your comment, is that you seem to believe the candidates within the Democratic Socialist Party are both “democratic and socialist" simply because that’s the name of their club. Well, maybe some of them are. I really couldn’t say. What I can tell you for sure is that more than a few have called for the complete dismantling of capitalism, free markets, representative government, property rights, borders, police, prisons, and the Constitution in general. My post referred to them, as well as a number of elected Democrats who have agreed to campaign on their behalf – including Gavin Newsom, who said, "The Democratic Party must accept the DSA in order to take back the Congress.” His words, not mine.
Tracey Steele writes…“Wow! I cannot believe Mike Rowe said this. He has a huge reach, and he is actually spouting the word “communism” like it’s the 1950s! Wow Wow Wow!”
Wow indeed, Tracey, and thanks for noticing the size of my reach! (Contrary to popular belief, size does matter!) To say it again, I am not the one “spouting” communism or conflating socialists and communists. The word is being “spouted” by members of the DSA who are using it to describe themselves. I am not accusing them; I am quoting them.
John Engles… Hey Rowe, what’s the difference between the Communists who want to run the country and the Nazi/fascist who currently is?
Several differences, John, but the only one relevant to this conversation is the fact that the communists currently running for office have clearly identified themselves as such. They do not dispute or reject the label. They embrace it. It is who they are, who they claim to be, and who they want to be. The president, on the other hand, has never claimed to be a Nazi or a fascist. That doesn’t mean he isn't, but it is worth noting he has rejected the accusation outright. Obviously, you are entitled to that opinion and the right to share it publicly, thanks to our Constitution. Unlike in a fascist, Nazi, or communist regime. (Also worth noting, Nazis and fascists are not the same thing.)
Chris Tomaloff writes… “Kinda like how the political right didn’t shout down the extreme rhetoric coming from their candidates?”
No, Chris, not like that at all. In the video I shared, we saw examples of prominent Democrats saying things like, “We need to elect more communists!” (Cea Weaver, Director of the NYC Mayor’s Office.) Mamdani himself literally tweeted, "Each according to their need, each according to their ability." That’s a direct quote from the Communist Manifesto.
But what exactly is the corollary from the right? Are prominent Republicans tweeting, “We need to elect more Nazis! We need to elect more fascists! Eat the poor!” I don’t think so. John Engles may think Trump is fascist and a Nazi, but Trump disagrees, and so do a majority of voters. Communists, on the other hand, say it loud and say it proud. I’m inclined to take them at their word.
Beto Ojeda… “Mike has always leaned to the Trumpian view of things but never states it, so as not to alienate anyone, but we know how to read between the lines. This “communist” talk is McCarthyism 2.0.”
I wasn’t around in the 1950s, Beto, but from what I’ve read, it was indeed a very difficult time to be a communist in this country. Lots of private citizens were dragged before Congress, made to take “loyalty oaths," and blacklisted in their places of work. I can’t justify it or condone it, but I can explain it. We had just fought a hot war against fascism and Nazism and just begun a Cold War against a communist regime. The existence of an organized Communist Party in this country at such a time strained the limits of tolerance. But do you really think we’re less tolerant today than we were seventy-five years ago? Do you really believe my comments about communists who claim to be communists are synonymous with another Red Scare? If you haven’t noticed, Chris, no one in the DSA, including the communists, is being dragged before Congress and made to swear a loyalty oath to the Constitution. Today, a communist in America can run for office…with the endorsement of the governor of California! And the tacit approval of a major political party! Seems to me we’re about as far from McCarthyism as we can get.
As for my desire not to alienate anyone, I suppose I am guilty of that. I run a foundation that is open to people of all political beliefs, and we’ve assisted lots of Americans who lean to the left. I also know for a fact that many Democrats have supported mikeroweWORKS historically, and I have no desire to run them off. But do you really have to “read between the lines” to understand where I’m coming from?
True, I’ve never endorsed a candidate or publicly encouraged people to vote. But I’ve been very transparent about the fact that I’m a registered Independent who favors policies and programs that often align with conservative principles. Obviously, I would not characterize those conservative principles as “Trumpian,” because a) they were around long before him, b) Trump is not a conservative, and c) I do not agree with or support everything the President says and does. So, is it possible, Beto, that your accusation is rooted in the fact that I have never publicly denounced the president to your satisfaction? Is it possible you think I'm a Trumper, simply because I've never called him a fascist, or a Nazi, or a liar, or a conman, or a traitor, or whatever else you believe him to be?
Gretchen Seipp… Mike, the fact that you still act as though you’re not political after all this time is a bit ridiculous. I still support your work and foundation because I believe in it, but the folksy act has worn thin.
Aw, shucks, Gretchen. Folksy? Lil' ole me?
Honestly, how am I acting as if I am “not political?” This entire conversation is the very definition of “political.”
Christopher Pugh… I would have voted for Mike Rowe and Freddie a few years ago before he went full-on MAGA, and I’m all in favor of his project, but it’s pretty clear the political direction that he’s moved in and the money trail that has influenced it.
It’s Freddy, not Freddie. (I don’t much care, but he’s a terrier and particular about such things.) As for the “full-on MAGA” moniker, is there something I did specifically to earn that designation? Is there some kind of general definition you can share? Or, are you coming from the same place as Beto? Is calling me “Full-On MAGA" your way of saying that I’ve failed to condemn Trump to your satisfaction?
For the record, MRW is supported by liberals and conservatives alike. I have no idea what “money trail” you are referring to. Also, regarding my personal politics, think about the implications of what I wrote. I said that the Democrats have been given a gift – an opportunity to appear reasonable by speaking the truth to their own party, just as Bill Maher has done. All they have to do is distance themselves from candidates who have called for the complete dismantlement of our Constitution. All they have to do is say, “Hold on, comrade. Our tent is not that big. We respect your right to hate America, but we don’t want you in our party, and we will not support your candidacy.”
If they say that, I think a lot of Independents would see them as they see John Fetterman, who has, in the eyes of many voters, become the most “rational” Democrat currently in office. If they don’t – if they actually welcome communist candidates into their party – then I’m afraid the Democrats, by default, will offer the American people a very simple choice in November – a party that disavows communism vs. a party that doesn’t. I think such a choice would be very positive for Republicans because I don’t think most Americans want to align themselves with a Democratic Party that welcomes communists. The question for you, Chris, is why would a “Full-On MAGA” like me encourage Democrats to act in a way that would disadvantage the Republican Party? And the answer is simple – it’s because I support the existence of a Democratic Party that believes America is still a fundamentally good place.
I think there’s a lot of room for improvement in our country, and I believe the best way to realize those improvements is for Democrats and Republicans to have continuous, robust and public debate about all the issues. But if one of those parties is affirmatively determined to transform our democratic republic into a communist state, then we’re no longer debating the various ways to make our country better; we’re debating the merits of destroying it. And really, what’s the point of tolerating that?
America is already a big tent, filled with hundreds of millions of people with wildly differing views and lots of political parties that represent those views. We’ve got the Green Party, the American Freedom Party, the Socialist Workers Party, the Constitution Party, and of course, the Communist Party USA, as well as the Democratic Socialist Party. America’s tent is so big, we can even tolerate fringe parties like the KKK, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and so forth. Why then, does Gavin Newsom want to make room in the Democratic tent for socialists and communists? There’s only one reason, and he’s already spelled it out for us – he believes the Democrats need them to win back the Congress. I think it’s a bad bet for the Democrats and for America. And if a prominent Republican reached out to the KKK with the same “big tent” offer, you’d better believe my vote would be in play.
Michael Tillman… When are you going to throw your hat into the ring, Mr. Rowe?
Ha! When it no longer fits my head!
