There are roughly 190,000 university professors in the United States. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) claims more than 57,000 of them belong to its professional organization. Founded in 1915, the AAUP has been around for 111 years.
 
In all that time, they never thought it a good idea for them to endorse a political candidate for elected office. Not Woodrow Wilson, who was a professor of history and president of Princeton University. Not even Barack Obama, who was a lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Really.
 
But now in 2026, a candidate has emerged who was so compelling that the professors you trust to educate your kids finally decided that they had to do everything possible to get him elected.
 
There was just no way they could sit out the race. I can only imagine what the debate was like. “This is a battle between good and evil.” “This is about America and who we are.” “This is somebody who will protect our institutions and our academic freedom.”
 
So, who was this messianic candidate who earned the AAUP’s first endorsement in 111 years? Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, the Democrat Senate nominee in Michigan.
 
Yeah, that’s right. The far-left Islamic socialist who spends his time hanging out with an anti-American Islamist named Hasan Piker. He campaigned with Piker and spent election-eve at a pool party with Piker.
 
If you’re not familiar with Hasan Piker, you should be. Piker has millions of followers and is a rising star and kingmaker in today’s Democrat Party. Here are some examples of Piker’s philosophy:
 
“America deserved 9/11, dude. F**k it, I’m saying it.”
 
“Hamas is a thousand times better than a fascist settler colonial apartheid state… I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time.”
 
“It doesn’t matter if rape happened on October 7th [the date of the Hamas attack on Israel]. It doesn’t change the dynamic for me.”
 
“I often struggle with the question that people ask … ‘Do you believe in the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state?’”
 
“Left-wingers and liberals, you need to be f***ing showing your opponents [conservatives] guts… You need to be gutting them. You need to be shanking these motherf***ers and letting their intestines just writhe on stage. … Slice ‘em up.”
 
“We’re gonna keep bringing in immigrants to this country—on purpose—so they can f*** your sister and then maybe even your daughter. We’re going to destroy the White race, b*tch. That’s what we’re here to do.”
 
“Kill those motherf***ers and murder those motherf***ers in the street. Let the streets soak in their f**king red capitalist blood, dude. Kill them.”
 
“I would say China is probably the closest … to an example that we should follow and lessons that we should learn from.”
 
The leftist professors of America endorse a Senate candidate who runs around with this guy and thinks he’s cool.
 
 
 
He Hates The West
 
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has spent more time campaigning with Hasan Piker than anyone else. And he refuses to condemn any of Piker’s disgusting and obscene remarks. El-Sayed won’t directly say that he hates Western Civilization. But his friends and virtually everything he says make it clear that he does despise Western Civilization.
 
El-Sayed hates everything we love, including America. If you criticize his opinions, you’re an Islamophobe. He’s very serious about his Islamic faith. It’s not the faith that this country was built on. America was built on Judeo-Christian ideas and values. Those beliefs were the foundation of all the major nations of Europe.
 
The faith El-Sayed adheres to is the majority faith in 53 countries around the world. None of them are pleasant places for women and girls, for religious minorities and for freedom.
 
But that’s who the progressive, liberal, tolerant professors of America chose as their first endorsement. They took time out from indoctrinating your children to jump into the political arena to elect the first antisemitic Muslim socialist to the United States Senate.
 
That tells you everything you need to know about just how deep the rot runs at our “institutions of higher learning.” But it shouldn’t surprise us after everything we witnessed on our university campuses since the Hamas massacre of 1,200 innocent Israelis on October 7, 2023.
 
 
 
The Dying Democrat Remnant
 
Julian Epstein (no relation to the island guy) has been involved in Democrat politics for decades. He was the chief legal counsel for House Democrats during Bill Clinton’s impeachment, and he worked on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
 
Incredibly, he is publicly supporting Republican Mike Rogers over Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed in the Michigan Senate race. In an opinion piece, Epstein wrote:
 
“Democrats aren’t coddling Scandinavian-style socialists; they’re getting into bed with a nihilistic, deconstructionist brand of third-worldism. It’s an ideology that seeks the elimination of prisons, policing, borders, the Senate, the presidency, the Supreme Court and democratic free markets. A worldview that aligns with genocidal jihadist movements like Hamas.”
 
Epstein is not alone. Michael LaRosa, former First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary, is also refusing to support El-Sayed.
 
Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville said, “To talk about the larger Democratic Party, post the election in Michigan going forward, I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker.” Well, James, you are in that party!
 
Liberal comedian Bill Maher said his vote in 2028 is up for grabs if the Democrats nominate a socialist and continue to embrace antisemitism. Maher warned, “When we’re cheering for the Intifada… I’m out.”
 
Epstein, LaRosa, Carville and Maher may well be the dying embers of what used to be the liberal Democrat apparatus of the United States. They disagreed with us on many important things. But they did agree with us on big things like America is a good country, antisemitism was evil and there are two genders, not 50.
 
I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase, “If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain.” Well, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom—three of the biggest names in Democrat politics—have all gone to kneel before Mohamed El-Sayed.
 
These are not the acts of Democrat leaders who are going to fight to the death to preserve the party of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and even Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. They are appeasers of a dangerous movement whose heroes are Hasan Piker, Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Melat Kiros and Darializa Avila Chevalier.
 
 
 
Socialism’s War On Family & Faith

What will the impact be on faith, family, and freedom, as well as our economy, if the popularity of socialism continues to grow during this important election year?
 
Socialists are virtually guaranteed to become mayors of multiple major U.S. cities because they won their primaries. They are also on course to win multiple House and Senate seats running as Democrats. This is a shocking development.
 
Read more in my latest public policy update for the James Dobson Family Institute. Please share it with your friends and family members. Not only does it help JDFI and me, it also helps to educate more Christian citizens about the growing Marxist/Islamist threat to our freedom.
 
 
 
Scrambled Brains

I had scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning. It got me thinking about how leftism scrambles your brains. Everything it touches turns to, well, you know what.
 
Remember when we had Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts? Young women spending time together, and young men spending time together doing things outdoors and learning skills. It was a great idea.
 
But then the Left demanded that girls be allowed to join the Boy Scout and boys be allowed to join the Girl Scouts. Why? Because the Left insists that boys and girls can be born in the wrong bodies and be “assigned the wrong sex at birth.” And because of the Left’s insane gender ideology, there are tampons in the boys’ bathrooms and “men” are getting pregnant!
 
Virtually all Americans want racial reconciliation. But we don’t want race to be THE defining factor in our lives. That was Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s dream—that we would be judged by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.
 
But the Left came along and declared that everything is about race. What was the result of this? Suddenly, America was an evil country founded in 1619 when the first slaves were brought to America, not 1776.
 
They tell us the Star-Spangled Banner is the White national anthem. Now we have a Black national anthem, too. Can a Hispanic national anthem and an Asian national anthem be far behind? This is nonsense. Our national anthem is for everyone!
 
Now, the WNBA is convening a very important meeting with witnesses and all kinds of experts. Why? To decide the very difficult question of whether men should be allowed to play in their basketball league.
 
I want to save the WNBA some money on travel costs, research, meeting space, etc. The “W” in WNBA stands for “Women.” To put it another way: If you were born a biological boy, you don’t qualify to play in the WOMEN’S National Basketball Association.
 
My main point is this: Don’t let the Left get into your mind. It will scramble your brains.
