New in PJ Media:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has the Leftist political and media elites deeply rattled, and that’s utterly delightful.
Imagine this scenario: a wildly unpopular and manifestly incapable president is running, however haltingly, for reelection. Initially he seemed like a lock, but then he encountered an unexpected challenge from a scion of an old American political family, a man who defies all the conventional categorization of political candidates and has set the establishment on its ear by challenging not only the superannuated corruptocrat in the White House but many of that establishment’s most cherished assumptions.
It would make a great novel, but it’s real life, and it’s an exhilarating reminder that America is still a republic, still a place where the elites can be challenged at all, however entrenched they may appear to be. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has not only challenged the elites, he has frightened them to the core, and that’s wonderful to see. The latest indication of how much of a threat they consider him to be comes from the Los Angeles Times, always a reliable organ for far-Left propaganda. The Left Coast Times is so scared of RFK Jr. that on Monday, it proclaimed, “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a threat to your health — and our democracy.”
Now, this is absurd on its face and an insult to the intelligence of the handful of remaining Los Angeles Times readers. The Left has now become so divorced from reality that Times writer Michael Hiltzik would have us believe that a contested Democrat party primary is bad for “our democracy.” But a full-out coronation of Old Joe to serve another four years as the figurehead for the shadowy individuals who are really running things? Why, that would be “our democracy” personified. One candidate, inevitable outcome? Good democracy! Two candidates, unclear outcome? Bad democracy!
For the millionth time, we don’t have a “democracy,” we have a republic. But the key point here is that, once again, Leftists have confirmed the fact that when they talk about “our democracy,” they don’t actually mean anything democratic at all. They are referring not to any kind of democracy, but to their own hegemony. The only “democracy” that involves one candidate receiving the forced adulation of the masses and reelection by acclimation from all those who don’t want to end up in the gulag is the type that is practiced in states such as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Actually, while he’s right to be more concerned about America, and partly right about vaccines (he opposes not just the Covid-19 vaccines but ALL vaccines, and I’m sure there are doctors who’d have something to say about it), I still don’t support him. I doubt that he’s much different from Uncle Ted, who used to be deep into both the class envy and the racial preferential treatment. There is nothing to suggest that he’s against the Green New Deal: just that he might oppose the rare-earth mining that would give us those supposedly magical batteries, and I’ve not seen what he has to say about trans grooming
Yeah, if one is a Dem, he is an improvement over both Biden and Williamson, which ain’t saying much. However, to consider him “conservative” is ridiculous. Yeah, if the election was b/w him & Mike Pence/Nikki Haley/Chris Christie/Asa Hutchinson, I’d vote for him. But otherwise, on the GOP side alone, I’d prefer any of these 3 candidates – Trump, DeSantis or Ramaswamy over any Dem

I have read RFK Jr’s articles for several years. He doesn’t oppose all vaccines. Rather, he opposes the corrupt system between the NIH and big pharma. For example, the NIH doesn’t invent anything. It receives it royalties because they require big pharma to put their “scientists”, such as Fauci, on pharma’s patents if they want the latest treatment to be approved. Then pharma has to share half of its profits with the NIH. RFK Jr knows this, but does Trump? During covid, Trump looked like a clown.

America is both a democracy and a republic. It is a democratic republic, though it is a representative democracy, not a pure democracy (however, at many local government levels a pure democracy actually exists, an example being how towns in New Hampshire have as their legislature the citizens of the town themselves meeting in a primary assembly replete with voting).

Globalists are not even Democracy. They are who has the most money.

Threat to democracy!!hahaha , what a bunch of communist tugs !!, just outrageous..
Keith O says
Anything or anyone who scares the crap out of the leftist loonies a good thing.
Charles Ford says
He is a threat to democracy because he supports and upholds something other than mob rule run by the elites. He believes that America is a republic with representative government that has checks and balances and that is inimical to a democracy.
Huapakechi says
Whenever I see the words “our democracy” I have to wonder which definition of democracy that the global socialist democrats seek to employ. Democracy is essentially mob rule, but the globalists worship a stalinist model of communism where obedience to the dictates of the ruler is mandatory and questioning authority is prohibited.
