A South Carolina nonprofit is raising money to help women get around the state’s heartbeat law, and on Saturday night it took the fundraising to the bars.
The Palmetto State Abortion Fund’s “Abortions After Dark” crawl through the Vista is just the latest pitch. Its merch declares “It’s my patriotic duty to assist abortion seekers,” and its Halloween line promises to “Hex the patriarchy, Vex the GOP.”
It has posted public appeals to pay for abortions for minors. According to undercover footage, a PSAF volunteer drove a girl she believed was 15 from the Myrtle Beach Mall to Planned Parenthood without her parents knowing.
Its executive director is a Pittsburgh native and Democratic political consultant. She now draws a paycheck from both PSAF and Planned Parenthood.
PSAF raised $601,369 last year, nearly six times what it raised in 2022. Its donors are concentrated from places like Chicago, New York, and California. Here’s what we found: palmettostatewatchfoundation…

To “protest” against weak Republicans by helping Democrats win the general election is not a protest—it is national suicide.
Perhaps you could make such an argument a hundred years ago—but that hasn’t been reality for a long time.
Reality is that Democrats will IMMEDIATELY fling open the border to mass invasion,
tax you more so third-world illegals consume even more of your resources,
poison your kids’ minds and mutilate their bodies,
murder a lot more babies,
and reinstate woke racism and Marxist poison everywhere, especially in the irreversible judiciary which has become the Founders’ feared despotism.
Is that what you want?
Because that is what you’ll get.
Play stupid games; win stupid prizes—and destroy America for the rest of us.
RIDICULOUS.
I personally paid the price for this, so I know the stakes and I can promise we don’t want the sequel—it will be much worse. My suffering has been more than bad enough.
Let’s buckle up and urge everyone to get out the vote 🗳️ to DEFEAT THE DEMOCRATS. Then, we engage those voters in the next primary cycle and improve the GOP. That’s how American politics actually functions.
We need men of courage and faith to stand up and lead. The battle is here—the moment is NOW.

How Weak Men Come About
It starts at home. The household is rich and civilized, and that is often understood as a sophisticated softness and smoothness. Feminine values take over. The mother rules at home and can afford to give her boy everything: to fulfil his every whim, to do everything for him. And so she does. With one child per family, it is often six adults – two parents, four grandparents – serving one boy. So the boy gets everything, for free, and immediately. He never takes the marshmallow test, because there is never anything to wait for. He never fails, because no one lets him. A boy becomes a man by meeting resistance, and his home has removed all of it.
And where is the father? Sometimes gone after a divorce, a weekend visitor. But even when he stays, he is gone. He leaves in the morning for abstract work the boy cannot see or relate to: meetings, emails, a screen. For thousands of years, a boy watched his father work, then worked beside him, then took over. He learned from older men by doing, and one day they told him: now you are a man. That apprenticeship has disappeared, and nobody ever tells him.
Then come the group dynamics at school. If the majority of boys already start like that, it becomes a self-reinforcing behavioral norm. Boys want to belong, so they all act soft. The one who wants to stay strong ends up alone, and loses. The predominantly female teaching staff reinforces it. The men teachers, a small minority, end up dominated by the feminine atmosphere of the school. There are no trees to climb and no fights to settle – the playground is padded. Competition becomes suspect, risk becomes a safety violation, and the restless boy who once got a football field now gets a diagnosis. The leftist curriculum only adds to that, teaching the boy that his strength is a problem to be managed.
Meanwhile the screen gives him everything a man used to fight for, for free. Video games give victory without a fight. Porn gives sex without courting a woman. Likes give status without achieving anything. Why pay the real price when the fake one costs nothing? So he doesn’t.
Then the leftist academia finishes him off. Three more years of learning that the men who built his civilization were oppressors, and that the right answer is always the softest one.
Then the HR-dominated corporate world simply keeps him that way. Promotion goes to whoever offends no one. The man who says the plan is bad is "not a team player". What school started, the office maintains for forty years.
The propaganda reinforces every mechanism along the way. In films, sitcoms and ads, the father is the idiot whom the wife and kids correct, and strength is either a joke or a threat. The boy learns early what a man is supposed to be.
And at the end, the state takes the last role he had left. It provides for the mother, so the provider becomes unnecessary. A man nobody needs has no reason to be strong.
And so it goes. Our men end up weak. This is not because they were born weak. It is because every institution they passed through rewarded softness and punished strength, from the first toy to the last performance review.
That is why we are being conquered by Muslims who laugh at us, seeing all of that.
"Hard Times Create Strong Men" – Where the Meme Really Comes From
Everyone has seen it: hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. The wording comes from a 2016 survival novel. The idea is six centuries older, and it was written by a man most of the West has never heard of.
1. The man. Ibn Khaldun was born in Tunis in 1332. He was a historian, a judge, a diplomat, a courtier and a prisoner, and he served and survived half the courts of North Africa and Spain. In 1401, when Tamerlane besieged Damascus, the old historian had himself lowered down the city walls on ropes to go and meet the conqueror. The man who studied conquerors went to interview the greatest one alive.
2. The bond. His key word is asabiyyah, the bond: the feeling of a group whose members would die for each other. Desert tribes have it because they must. They have no walls and no police, only each other. City people lose it because they no longer need it. So strength is not muscle. Strength is the bond.
This is Civilization: people bound to one another, building something that outlives them.
3. The four generations. A dynasty lasts about four generations. The builder knows what it cost. His son knew the builder and keeps the standards. The grandson imitates without understanding, following rules whose reasons he never saw. The great-grandson thinks greatness is his birthright and despises the effort that built it – and then he destroys it.
4. Everyone knows it. The Germans say: acquire, inherit, ruin. The English say: shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations. The Chinese say wealth does not survive three generations. You have seen it in a family business too: the founder’s grandson with the Porsche and the "vision".
5. The tax curve. Ibn Khaldun also noticed that at the start of a dynasty taxes are low and revenue is high, while at the end taxes are high and revenue is low, because people stop bothering to work. That is the Laffer curve, six hundred years early. Reagan quoted him on it in 1981.
6. The West. The generation of 1945 rebuilt Europe from rubble. Their children kept the standards. Their grandchildren imitate the forms – elections, institutions, speeches – without the bond. And now an heir generation is taught to despise the inheritance. Ibn Khaldun even described the next step: the declining dynasty hires others to defend it. Europe outsourced its defense decades ago.
7. The correction. The meme is wrong in one place. Hard times do not create strong men. They create strong bonds, and the bond makes the men strong. Good times do not weaken men only through comfort. They weaken them by making the bond unnecessary – family replaced by the state, the tribe replaced by the screen.
Hard times will come anyway. They will not make us strong. They will only find out whether we are still a Civilization – or just a population.

Nearly a century ago, BMW collaborated closely with Hitler's National Socialist regime and profited handsomely from the German war economy during World War II, in an era when "Kauft nicht bei Juden" was the order of the day. How historically illiterate can one be at BMW's Munich headquarters, under the owning families Quandt and Klatten of all people, given that key members of the Quandt family were active members of the Nazi Party and deeply involved in Hitler's war economy?
BMW, already under strain, with its stock down 45% this year alone and still falling, has just withdrawn its offer of an official car for Saxony-Anhalt's state parliament president after AfD politician Tobias Rausch was elected to the post. Instead of finally staying out of politics in light of its own dark Nazi past, BMW cannot help itself and has to meddle again.
Back then it was the National Socialists BMW made common cause with. Today it is apparently the socialists of red-red-green, the center-left wing of the CDU/CSU and other woke groups that the company wants to align itself with, under the leftist Brandmauer-style slogan "don't sell to AfD members." Business should stay out of party politics, a lesson BMW of all companies should have learned by now from its neck-deep political involvement in the Third Reich.
But even leaving the history lesson aside, that is not a lofty principle for a global company. It is common sense for anyone who sells to the whole country and beyond, and who has to defend its home market against increasingly successful Chinese brands and, above all, against @ElonMusk, who, oh irony, is a major AfD supporter and a strong @Alice_Weidel fan.
So a major German company declaring, in effect, "we do not sell to AfD members" is something else entirely, and completely out of place in a democratic country. The firm is closely tied to the Nazi era, rose in those years to become one of the most important armaments manufacturers of Hitler's Third Reich, built aero engines for the Luftwaffe and used tens of thousands of forced laborers, including concentration camp prisoners.
Its workforce grew from around 6,000 in 1933 to 56,000 in 1944 at the height of wartime production, roughly half of them forced labor, and revenue climbed from 32.5 million Reichsmarks in 1933 to 750 million by 1944. A company with that dark political history now pandering to the socialists of the day once again, with this kind of gesture, is not only foolish. It is repugnant and historically illiterate.
Because once again it is the left that poses the greatest danger to Jews in Germany. Back then it was the National Socialists. Today it is the radical socialists of red-red-green and their Jew-hating immigrant supporters, and even surveys of German Jews themselves name Muslim and left-wing milieus as the main source of the hostility they actually face in everyday life and on the streets of Germany. Look no further than the looming red-red-green coalition in Berlin and the proximity of those parties to open antisemitism.
For BMW, the decision can speed up a decline that is already underway. Picking a fight at home with 30% to 40% of the electorate is a stupid mistake and poor business. The AfD already polls at 31% nationwide, with a current INSA potential of 36.5% once voting intention and reserve are added. In some states it already sits between a whopping 40% and 50%, and the trend is still up.
By contrast, the $BMW share keeps falling and is down almost half this year, now trading only slightly above 50 euros, with tens of billions in market value already wiped out and no bottom in sight. So whether it is wise to alienate such a large share of the home market right now, of all times, is not a hard question. The woke leftist constituencies BMW appears to be courting with this anti-AfD course cannot buy anywhere near enough cars to replace the orders now being cancelled by conservative and right-wing customers all over Germany and beyond. On social media the backlash is already running, and BMW is in for a rude awakening.
And by the way, speaking of fate loving irony, since BMW chose to target Elon Musk's favorite German party of all parties: his Tesla Model Y was Germany's best-selling car in September 2026, not merely the best-selling electric car, far ahead of any competitor, and BMW trails Tesla by an even wider margin than VW does. So Munich might want to take a more modest tone and, this time, stay out of politics. The better alternative to a BMW is already on the road, and it comes with AI-powered Full Self-Driving technology that BMW drivers can only dream of.
So there is no other way to put it: BMW has maneuvered itself into a dangerous political corner, historically illiterate once again. Bud Light, Target, Cracker Barrel, Nike and Jaguar are the precedents. Perhaps BMW's Munich headquarters has already forgotten that Jaguar registered just two (2) new cars in the EU in the first eight months of 2026, down from 2,845 a year earlier. Go woke, go broke, as Elon Musk and Donald Trump like to say in America, gloatingly, but not without reason.
For BMW, though, this is about far more than a further financial slide and a share price that will most likely keep falling in what is already a very difficult time for German carmakers. It is, in part, about finally standing on the right side of history for once instead of choosing the wrong side yet again. Or, if BMW's own history shows that the company has no understanding of politics and no instinct for picking the right side, about simply staying out of politics and remaining neutral.
Cobbler, stick to your last. Or, as Elon Musk asked a suddenly woke Jaguar in 2024: "Do you sell cars?"

🚨 Is everyone ready to have the uncomfortable conversation yet?
Fellow patriots, we can keep talking about paperwork, reducing bureaucracy, the DoE moving to smaller offices, yada, yada, yada, that can all be reversed on day one if a Democrat wins 2028.
Let me say that again: every gain the DoE has made can be easily reversed on day one under Education Secretary Randi Weingarten, and that's no joke. She could very well be the next Ed Sec if we lose.
What cannot be changed is the fundamental transformation of the next generation, the dream of President Obama coming into full bloom.
@AmyMek has been doing the work for decades, uncovering what the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Student Association (MSA) have mobilized over time.
The MSA has long been embedded at the college level, but it's trickled down into high schools. They're targeting minors... on your dime.
The Taylor Independent School District in red-state Texas had $9 million federal tax dollars shoved into their hands this year alone.
52 days after our Education Secretary assumed her role, the Ambassador of Qatar slithered his way into her office. I have no record of any other Ambassador meeting with her. If there is one, I'm open to seeing it.
Not long after this meeting, federal funding that was halted to universities who were fomenting terror-support and rabid antisemitism, began to see their funding reinstated.
Support for U.S.-designated terror organizations has grown exponentially in schools. 60% of young Americans 18-24 now favor Hamas/Palestinian resistance and are leaning towards socialism.
If the GOP refuses to confront these vulnerabilities now, the "fundamental transformation" will become the national-security reality we failed to address while we still had time.

🚨 TEXAS PARENTS - WE FOUND ANOTHER TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT CONVERTING TO ISLAM
This is no longer one isolated post.
We have now uncovered another conversion celebrated by the Muslim Student Association at James E. Taylor High School - a PUBLIC SCHOOL in Katy ISD.
And this one takes us directly from the public-school MSA to the mosque.
The Muslim Student Association at James E. Taylor High posted a photograph from MAS Katy Center–Masjid ArRahman and announced:
“Alhamdulilah, we had our brother from Taylor revert to Islam mashallah. May allah keep him on the straight path inshallah!”
Read their words carefully:
“WE had our brother from Taylor revert to Islam.”
It is important to note that Federal prosecutors have described MAS as the overt U.S. arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.
This is NOW the second Taylor student conversion we have now found being publicly celebrated by the school's MSA account.
And suddenly the pattern parents have been warned about becomes much harder to ignore:
PUBLIC SCHOOL → MSA → DA'WAH → MOSQUE → CONVERSION.
MSA National openly states that “campus activism and da'wah” are part of its mission.
Da'wah means inviting others to Islam.
And MAS Katy isn't some unrelated mosque that happens to appear in the photograph. The mosque has an extensive youth and Islamic-education infrastructure and has previously advertised da'wah outreach to non-Muslims - including bringing “classmates” to the mosque.
Now we have Taylor High School's MSA documenting a Taylor student inside that very mosque converting to Islam.
This raises an unavoidable question:
Are public-school MSAs functioning as the school-side entry point, bringing non-Muslim students into an outside mosque network where da'wah continues and conversions take place?
We now have two conversions publicly celebrated by Taylor's MSA.
Katy ISD should explain exactly what relationship exists between Taylor MSA and MAS Katy.
Who brought these students to a mosque? Who organized the visits? Who communicated with them? Were MSA officers involved? Were mosque leaders interacting with Taylor students? How many other Taylor students have been brought into this network?
Parents deserve answers.
Because the MSA's own posts are beginning to show what looks like a school-to-mosque da'wah pipeline.
THE MSA IS INSIDE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
THE MOSQUE IS OUTSIDE IT.
AND THE STUDENTS ARE SHOWING UP THERE AND CONVERTING.
FOLLOW THE MSA. FOLLOW THE MOSQUE. FOLLOW THE PIPELINE

AJP Action isn’t just the largest Islamic lobbying organization in America, this is how the movement of political Islam goes from ideology, to radical training, then activation on college campuses.
AJP is the offshoot of American Muslims for Palestine, a 501(c)(3).
After the October 7 slaughters, the AJP began a recruiting and outreach effort on college campuses that saw the organization expand rapidly.
This organization provides funding for the Students for Justice in Palestine on each campus, as well as provides representation when students are arrested for rioting.
They’re in DC today at their yearly conference, and as stated in the video, the training for radical activism is part of the program.
This is happening in our nation’s capital under President Trump’s watch.
What happens here at this conference will be taken back to campuses across America and put into motion in the coming months.
This isn’t just about Israel. This is about destroying Israel, then dominating the United States… and it all starts on the campuses.

Thanks to growing up as a huge fan of and later serving in the military, I always used to think "demoralized" meant that you had the sads and were discouraged, and that a solid pep talk from a good leader could snap you out of it.
That's not at all what it means with respect to what we're seeing in our society. Demoralization is the goal of the communist, the first stage in the ideological subversion of a society. The Soviet Union did this to us until their 1991 rebrand, and Russia has continued it ever since.
Demoralization is the destruction of a people's moral foundation. It is the complete obliteration of a people's sense of right and wrong, good and evil, true and false. It is the unmooring of their minds from reality so that they cannot perceive what is real and what is not. You can put an elephant in front of a demoralized person, tell him it's a cat, and they'll agree and teach others about this huge cat with its long nose and tusks.
We recognize demoralized people today as woke. The woke are victims of brainwashing who have been conditioned to accept any lie they are told to accept. The victim believes his debased condition makes him superior, perceiving it as having achieved a higher consciousness. Anyone can be a victim.
The description below is from Yuri Bezmenov, a defector from the Soviet Union who had worked as a KGB agent. When he gave this interview in 1984, he said that the ideological subversion of the United States was already successful beyond the KGB's wildest dreams.
We'd better get our heads around this and do what is necessary to stop this poison while we can. It will take sacrifice on the part of everyday citizens--us. Politicians will never solve this problem. Most politicians are the ones causing the problem, and that includes Democrats and Republicans alike. Until we address that, and until we do what is necessary to protect ourselves and our children from this contagion, it will grow worse. The hour is extremely late.

Kids aren’t learning in our schools.
The schools have abdicated their responsibility to hold students accountable for actually doing the reading (i.e., studying), mainly through grade inflation, but also through 1:1 device policies combined with de facto discipline policies that incentivize teachers to ignore cheating.
It’s up to you, parents. I can and will help, but you must step into the breech to ensure the schools don’t waste years of your kids’ lives.
Please don’t delude yourselves that good grades = learning. You cannot trust grade reports anymore, full stop.

The PISA 2025 results are out today. Some quick insights.
- The major story is very significant global decline. The last PISA study was in 2022, and saw big declines in reading and maths scores from 2018. Obviously the pandemic played a part.
- But this 2025 round has seen further falls even from the 2022 lows!
Things haven't gone back to normal post-pandemic - they've got worse.
Every generation thinks the generation below is less smart - but this time they might be right!
