The Democratic (read: communist) frontrunner in New York City’s mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani, has made clear his intention to strip citizens of the right to armed self-defense—a position more radical than that of the Soviet Union.

While his proposals to abolish private property and his leniency toward criminal behavior are well known, one of the most chilling elements of his platform is captured in a simple declaration: “We need to ban all guns.”

Not only is this tragically misguided, but it also shows a staunch disrespect for the American way and carries historically ominous implications. The disarmament of civilians has constituted the first step in totalitarian communist regimes throughout history. Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, and Kim Il-sung all banned firearms before consolidating authoritarian control and ushering in the deaths of millions. Adolf Hitler ruthlessly took advantage of an existing gun registry in the lead-up to the Nazi Party takeover of Germany.

A recent scuffle with West Point’s woke leadership reveals how hard the Left is trying to keep control of America’s premier military academy—and why it’s so important the Trump administration remove irresponsible leadership from command.

On July 29th, in a now deleted X post, Reeves proudly announced the hiring of Jen Easterly to be the new “Distinguished Chair” of West Point’s Department of Social Sciences (SOSH).

The problem? Easterly, who happened to be a classmate of Superintendent Steven Gilland’s at West Point, was part of the Biden regime’s intelligence apparatus to combat “misinformation”—and remains a DEI ambassador. 

It was the most muted Pride Month in years. Has America finally had enough of the trans agenda?
