Congress has another cat fight on its hands.

Wikipedia is just proving that it’s not a real resource for information.

And CANCELLED!

News

Here is some quick news stories:

• Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, will be stepping down as CEO.
  • It is unclear whether he is stepping down or being forced out. The latter is more likely.
  • Parag Agrawal, the company’s Chief Technology Officer, would be starting as CEO immediately, and that Dorsey would continue to serve on the Twitter board through to the end of his term this coming spring to “help Parag and Bret with the transition.”
  • Expect things to change? I do. I expect things to get worse.
    • Agrawal has said that free speech should not be something Twitter should concentrate on.
    • Just today, they have announced some changes on that people can do on Twitter for privacy concerns.
• Actor Matthew McConaughey announced on Sunday that he will not run to be the next governor of Texas, a decision that came despite a push from left-wing media for the actor to challenge Republican Governor Greg Abbott.
  • That’s good because he would’ve gotten his ass kicked.
  • He is a Leftist. He wants to ban the Second Amendment.
  • He praises Beto O’Rourke
  • He’s a good actor. Just keep doing that.

The New Plan

They have 10 months and the Democrats are going to do anything to get Republicans off of committees. Their sights are now on Lauren Boebert.

Just a little reminder: during the Paul Gosar censure a week ago, Lauren went off. It was an outstanding showing and raised her visibility. Hell, I never heard of her before that speech.

Well, she had a rally at, what looked like, a western bar and she made a joke. Here it is:

Over the Thanksgiving break, Lauren Boebert said she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Ilhan Omar when a fretful Capitol police officer ran up.

Lauren Boebert said: “Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine.”

Boebert then called Ilhan Omar, “jihad squad.” pic.twitter.com/Y7f0nFbnud

Couple of things:

• She looks great in black jeans.
• She has a great body and is very sexy for a representative in Congress.
• No woman should ever wear high heels with jeans.
• And the joke was funny.

Omar got upset about something that’s true and started throwing a fit. Then, Boebert made a big mistake. She apologized. Why, in God’s name, did she do that? This never works. It admits guilt over something that is not a mistake or a crime. It was a joke.

Ilhan Omar, on the other hand, has done some very bad things:

• She dismissed the 9/11 terrorist attack saying “some people did some things”.
• She wrote a letter saying that several men trying to join ISIS should not be prosecuted because they’re poor.
• She dismissed the danger of Al Qaeda in an interview because she took a terrorism class in college.
• She’s a rabid anti-Semite.
• She married her brother to commit get him into the country.
• Then she married her second husband without getting a divorce. This led to tax issues.
• She had an affair with a campaign staffer and lied about it.
• She then got a divorce and married the staffer.
• Now, theoretically, she’s being investigated for giving a couple of million dollars in campaign funds to her current husband’s company.

There’s enough to joke about her. She has enough sympathies for terrorists to make that joke funny because it’s true.

Anyway, Boebert calls Ilhan Omar to personally apologize and Omar demands a public apology. Of course she does. She and the other Democrats her to admit guilt in public so they can censure her just like they did Paul Gosar over that stupid video. She refused to do it and Omar hung up on her.

Later, Omar tweeted her thoughts because that’s what you do today:

I’m sorry. It was a joke. It was funny.

They’re going to try to censure her and they’re going to succeed. They’re going to pull her off all her committees. The Dems want to strip Republicans of all power. You know it because she will be the third Republican removed from committees this year.

I hope Kevin McCarthy has balls. I hope he does the same thing next year. I hope he gets rid of Maxine Waters, Eric Swallwell, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes, Rashida Tlaib, Cory Bush, Ayanna Pressley and, of course, Ilhan Omar.

He’s going to gain 40 to 50 seats next year. He’s going to be able to do it.

Changing History

This is an amazing story because it is so obvious that the Left is trying to change history.

According to The Telegraph:

A Wikipedia entry detailing “mass killings under Communist regimes” faces being purged from the platform over fears about bias.

The page outlining the deaths of millions in one-party states including the Soviet Union and China has been flagged for deletion, with some users responsible for maintaining the site taking issue with blaming mass murder on Communist ideology.

The dedicated entry listing the actions of figures like Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong Il has been accused of putting forward a biased “anti-Communist” point of view, and site administrators will decide whether it should be removed.

The future of a page titled “Anti-communist mass killings” is not in doubt, however, as the entry outlining occasions on which Communists have been killed under other political systems has not been flagged over concerns about neutrality.

It’s funny that they won’t remove non-communist countries that had genocide like Nazi Germany. I think that’s funny because Nazi Germany was pretty much the same government and economy as countries like the Soviet Union and China. The Nazis were socialists. It’s in the name (National Socialist German Workers’ Party).

Let’s understand something about Wikipedia: it is not considered a encyclopedic site. The information is added by users and many of it isn’t confirmed. It is not considered a reliable source by colleges. But, like the tearing down of statues, this is their attempt to change history to, not only making communism more palatable, but also excuse the sins of communism today. An example of that are the atrocities being committed in China, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba.

CANCELLED!!

Time to go over a couple of things being cancelled by the Left.

The Simpsons

According to the Hollywood reporter:

Disney+ users in Hong Kong have noticed an episode of The Simpsons is conspicuously missing.

The 16th season of the iconic Fox animated show jumps from episode 11 to 13 when viewers in the city browse the flagship Disney streaming service. The missing episode 12, first broadcast in 2005, happens to be the one where Homer takes his family to China, where they visit Tiananmen Square and come across a placard that reads: “On this site, in 1989, nothing happened.”

It appears the episode has suffered precisely the kind of censorship it was written to ridicule.

Here’s the screenshot of the offending sign:

Walt Disney is turning in his grave. This is not how his company was to become.

Bowing to China is not only disgusting but it shows how China’s totalitarianism is affecting our culture. They have a say, through these companies, on what we see.

Just wait. That episode will soon disappear in this country.

Don’t They Have More Important Things To Do

The Camden School District in New Jersey has a Change.org petition to rename the Woodrow Wilson High School because Woodrow Wilson was a racist.

According to the petition:

After years of examining the legacy of former US President Woodrow Wilson, WE have come to see that his views and actions contradict the values and diversity We see in Woodrow Wilson High School today as well as the society WE live in Camden NJ.  

 These values We hold today are to be respected at the highest standard in regards to fair treatment of All individuals, and our aspirations to continue to be an educating, diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community in the City of Camden NJ it is only right in Our Eyes to right the wrongs that have plagued Us in Our oppressed society.

Then the petition goes through some evidence that Woodrow Wilson was a racist. It concludes:

… this conflicts with the values and aspirations of our times today as We see it but WE encourage each Of The elected Members named here in this Petition to embrace the coeducational, multi-racial, multi-ethnic, diverse and inclusive composition and ideals of our community today and they can do so by removing Woodrow Wilsons Name.

Woodrow Wilson was a racist. He was also a eugenicist. He as a terrible person. He was also a crappy President. I wouldn’t name a school after him. But he was also a professor, president of Princeton University, a governor of New Jersey and a two term President of the United States. He was a success and part of our history. Should he be banned?

I don’t like him. I understand why they want to change the name. I just find it ironic that the people who want to change the name have all the same beliefs that Woodrow Wilson had.

Here we go again. A new variant. I guess it’s time for us to run around like chickens with our heads cut off.

It might be time to stop wearing Levi’s.

And the Left is showing the contempt for the Constitution and no one is paying any attention. So I will.

Here We Go Again

I’m telling you, this is never going to end. A new variant of COVID-19 has been discovered.

The Variant

A new variant of the China virus has been found in South Africa earlier this month. I have looked up this variant and here is some of the information I got from the World Health Organization (China for short):

• The TAG-VE was convened on 26 November 2021 to assess the SARS-CoV-2 variant: B.1.1.529.
• It was first reported to WHO from South Africa on 24 November 2021.
• Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant, as compared to other VOCs.
• Current SARS-CoV-2 PCR diagnostics continue to detect this variant.
• As such, countries are asked to do the following:
  • enhance surveillance and sequencing efforts to better understand circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
  • submit complete genome sequences and associated metadata to a publicly available database, such as GISAID.
  • report initial cases/clusters associated with VOC infection to WHO through the IHR mechanism.
  • where capacity exists and in coordination with the international community, perform field investigations and laboratory assessments to improve understanding of the potential impacts of the VOC on COVID-19 epidemiology, severity, effectiveness of public health and social measures, diagnostic methods, immune responses, antibody neutralization, or other relevant characteristics.
• Individuals are reminded to take measures to reduce their risk of COVID-19, including proven public health and social measures such as wearing well-fitting masks, hand hygiene, physical distancing, improving ventilation of indoor spaces, avoiding crowded spaces, and getting vaccinated.
• They included to references to follow. Both references are for following the rules of the previous variants.

What do we know about this variant. Nothing. The WHO has nothing new about it except, like Delta, you can catch it if you’re vaccinated or have been infected with an earlier variant. They do not even know how dangerous it is or how infectious it is.

https://www.who.int/news/item/26-11-2021-classification-of-omicron-(b.1.1.529)-sars-cov-2-variant-of-concern

But She Knows

Dr. Angelique Coetzee, a board member of the South African Medical Association, first noticed otherwise healthy patients demonstrating unusual symptoms on Nov. 18. She saw that it was the China virus but it did not behave in the same way as the previous variants so she alerted the WHO.

But she does have some interesting tidbits of information.

NEW: From Reuters?

South African Doctor:

"Looking at the the mildness of the symptoms, there is no reason for panicking, as we don't see severely ill patients"

"The hype that's been created out there in the media & worldwide doesn't correlate with the clinical picture" pic.twitter.com/g7tSas0qqK

— Rosie's Virus Branding Crisis (@DarnelSugarfoo) November 28, 2021

In other words, people have a mild case of the flu. By the way, as the virus matures, it is going to become less deadly. The virus is designed that way. It’s designed to spread, not kill. It wants people to survive so it can spread to other organisms. Just about all viruses do this.

She continues with a warning (which is what doctors are suppose to do):

“What we have to worry about now is that when older, unvaccinated people are infected with the new variant, and if they are not vaccinated, we are going to see many people with a severe [form of the] disease.”

Well, duh! We know that people who are not vaccinated may experience harsher symptoms. The hospitals are not being overrun. There isn’t a huge uptick in cases.

Here’s what I think is happening and it’s going to happen for the rest of time. This virus is going to mutate, just like the flu. All the previous variants are going to run through the population or people are going to get the vaccines (which we still aren’t sure of). Each new variant is going to become weaker and the population is going to become less susceptible to the disease.

In two years, it’s going to be another version of the flu. End of story.

Let the Overreaction Begin

“Never let a good crisis go to waste,” said Obama progressive Rahm Emmanuel.

The Left has re-invented Emmanuel’s quote:

“Make a non-crisis into a crisis so we can never let a crisis go to waste.”

The Leftists are going off.

Joe Biden made a statement while vacationing, again, in a billionaire’s home in Nantucket:

“We don’t know a lot about the variant, except that it is of great concern. It seems to spread rapidly. And I spent about a half-hour this morning with my COVID team, led by Dr. Fauci, and so, that was the decision we made.”

Oh, yeah, and get vaccinated against a variant we know nothing about. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

There are a few problems here. First, it’s not a great concern in South Africa, where it was found. That news is from South African doctors! 

Second, it’s not spreading rapidly. Hospitals in South Africa are not being impacted. That’s according to South African doctors!

Third, the WHO doesn’t know anything about the variant. Shouldn’t we learn something about it before we make alarmist statements?

Finally, Dr. Fauci has been wrong and been lying about everything! Why is Biden listening to him!

Biden implemented a travel ban from the African countries of South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, and Malawi. Something that got a lot of attention on social media since Biden and Kamala called Trump a racist for implementing a travel ban. What’s worse, they called Trump a racist on social media so everyone knows they did it! What a pair of tools.

But there’s more.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an Executive Order declaring a “Disaster Emergency in the State of New York” in anticipation of winter COVID-19 case increases. She’s preparing to shut the state down again and gain more control. She declared that elective surgeries are to be cancelled.

Didn’t they do that before and it fixed nothing except kill people because they saw a heart stint as being an elective surgery? I have to tell you, she’s worse than Andrew Cuomo. Wait till Gavin Newsom of California finds out. Can’t wait to hear what he’s going to do.

Israel is shutting its borders again even though 90% of the population is vaccinated. I thought the vaccines worked.

Great Briton is reimplementing mask mandates.

Fifteen days to slow the spread.

And This Is Just Funny

According to Fox News:

The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed it skipped the Greek letters “nu” and “xi” in naming its new COVID-19 variant, which it dubbed the “omicron” variant.

“‘Nu’ is too easily confounded with ‘new,’ and ‘xi’ was not used because it is a common last name, and WHO best practices for naming disease suggest avoiding ‘causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups,’” a WHO spokesperson told Fox News in a statement on Saturday.

That’s right, they skipped two Greek letters because they were too close to the name of the dictator of China and they openly admit it. See, being politically correct does have its problems for Leftist organizations.

By the way, “nu” is problematic because it’s original pronunciation is “nee” (which means “new”) and is too close to “xi” which is the dictator’s name.

Needless to say, there was a lot of mocking of the WHO on social media:

Man the F-Up

Apparently it might be time to stop wearing my favorite clothing.

After Kyle Rittenhouse was found innocent last week, Levi’s Strauss, the makers of Levi’s jeans, had to hire a trauma specialists because they thought that some of their employees might start to suffer PTSD from the thought that a convicted child-raping pedophile was killed in mid-attack.

Levi Strauss chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer Elizabeth Morrison said in a letter to staff:

“With the news that Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted in the shooting of three individuals — two of whom lost their lives — during racial justice protests last year, this is a difficult day for many.

“To help promote safety, sharing and to encourage healing, I’ll be hosting a fireside chat and Q&A with Dr. Jamila Codrington, a licensed psychologist and racial trauma specialist in early December. Dr. J and I will talk about the mental and psychical impacts of back-to-back social and racial justice events and trauma coping mechanisms during our discussion.”

Now I know Levi Strauss is a Leftist organization (they are located in San Francisco) but I think it is rich that they think they have such pansy employees when the product they sell is touted as cowboy rugged. You know? Flying off horses and bulls and crap and the jeans can handle it. Heck, Levi’s has always been an American icon for masculinity. You’re not even suppose to wash the damn things. Throw them in the freezer for an hour of so and they’re clean (that is recommended). I can’t think of anything more masculine than that.

But this isn’t the only place that’s doing that. You know the colleges were going to have a negative response to the verdict. I mean, people are banning a story about a white boy helping a black slave escape because they were naked on a raft in one scene and they said words.

California State University, Long Beach gave students and faculty the chance to attend a “debriefing” of Rittenhouse’s acquittal, which would be attended by staff from the Counseling and Psychological Services office.

University spokesman Jim Milbury told The College Fix in an email:

“When there are higher-profile events and issues in the public discourse, it is not uncommon for our university to provide spaces for our campus community to discuss those topics.”

God, we need a bloody war with a common enemy to toughen our kids up.

On the brighter side of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, The View’s Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg are getting sued for $60 million by Rittenhouse for defamation. That was quick. That kid is going to be so rich.

By the way, Rittenhouse is taking online classes at Arizona State University and not the students want him kicked out. He’s taking online classes!

Sorry, Not Surprised

Remember the multitude of times I said the Left doesn’t care about the Constitution and will just ignore it when it’s convenient? Well, they aso feel they don’t have to go through the amendment process to implement an amendment.

Remember the Equal Rights Amendment that was being pushed way back in the 1960s and 70s? It never became an amendment, though it was close, and the time expired in making it an amendment, not to mention five states de-ratified it after they found out what was in the amendment.

Here’s the story in case you’re not as old as I am (though I was too young to understand it at the time):

• At issue is the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), a benign-sounding Nixon-era amendment that concealed an unpopular feminist agenda. Critics say it would erode the legal protections of women and create a constitutional right to abortion just as Supreme Court justices seem poised to amend, or overturn, Roe v. Wade.
• The Equal Rights Amendment seemed destined to become the 27^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1972.
• Article V of the Constitution requires amendments to pass Congress by a two-thirds margin, then be ratified by three-fourths of the states (38 states out of 50)
• The ERA — which was championed by democratic socialists Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY), Gloria Steinem, and Betty Friedan — passed the U.S. House of Representatives by the required margin in October 1971 and cleared the Senate five months later.
• But the legislation they passed contained a time limit: The ERA had to be ratified within seven years.
• That hurdle seemed insignificant, as a total of 30 states ratified the ERA within a year — 14 of them within the first month. Five more states followed by 1978, when the Democrat-controlled Congress voted to extend the deadline to June 30, 1982.
• Enter Phyllis Schlafly, a well-educated mother from Illinois. She found:
  • women’s exemption from being drafted into military service;
  • separate facilities for showers, restrooms, college dorm rooms, battered women’s shelters, and prisons;
  • federal programs like Title IX, Social Security benefits for women who worked in the home, and Women Infants and Children (WIC)
• The Senate began to read the amendment and began to, in a bipartisan fashion, to strip the bill of some of its major language.
• After the United States had an opportunity to digest these arguments, momentum stopped, then reversed. Although the Democrats extended the ERA’s ratification deadline, no additional states signed on, and five states rescinded their previous ratification votes: Nebraska (1973), Tennessee (1974), Idaho (1977), Kentucky (1978), and South Dakota (1979).

Enter the Left.

How extreme is this amendment? Ben Johnson of the Daily Wire wrote:

Although you have likely not heard much about it from the media, the Democrats recently unveiled a plan to illegally add an element of their radical, intersectional agenda to the text of the U.S. Constitution. The controversial amendment could eliminate all laws that recognize biological differences between men and women, and it could force taxpayers to fund abortion-on-demand. Worse yet, their actions come decades after the Left tried and failed to convince Americans to adopt the proposed amendment democratically.

Right now, the House is holding hearings to make this bill an amendment even though it didn’t pass 40 years ago.

Though the amendment is dead, blues states ratified it anyway. Those states were Nevada in 2017, followed by Illinois in 2018, and Virginia in 2020. According to the Left, that means the amendment has been ratified and it is part of the Constitution. Nevermind the fact that five states went against the ratification later, that doesn’t matter.

The DOJ under the Trump administration said that the bill could not be ratified because it expired. The Left argues that the expiration is procedural and not written into the ERA itself so that doesn’t count. They also say that states do not have the right to decertify because it’s not in the bill. Therefore, the fives states that pulled out don’t count.

Guess it’s kind of important to read and understand bills before voting for them. That’s something out politicians haven’t learned yet.

The Left tried to sue and make a judge declare the amendment part of the Constitution. In March, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras, an Obama appointee, ruled that a “ratification deadline in a proposing resolution’s introduction is just as effective as one in the text of a proposed amendment,” so the deadline to adopt the ERA “expired long ago.”

Even the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg seemed to reject the Left’s arguments. She asked in 2020:

“How can you disregard states that said ‘we’ve changed our minds’? I would like to see a new beginning” for the ERA’s ratification, starting from scratch, she said.

But the Left don’t need to follow them stinking rules:

• First, in March, the House passed a resolution from retiring Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) retroactively repeating the ERA’s 1982 ratification deadline, 222-204.
• Then on October 21, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing where they said the ERA is part of the Constitution.
• All this stuff, by the way, is unconstitutional.

Then, the Left decided to bring in the big guns. Enter Alyssa Milano, the has-been, Who’s the Boss star. She testified in front of Congress:

The states have directed Congress to amend the Constitution, and it is now the duty of Congress and the Administration [sic] to get out of the way and remove the arbitrary, unnecessary, and shameful deadline that was cynically imposed nearly a half century ago as a poison pill. … The lack of Constitutional [sic] protections for anyone who is not a cisgender man is a blemish on the very idea of Americanism. … The Framers failed us when they did not include women in the Constitution. Congress failed us when it added the deadline for ratification of the ERA. You, the members of this committee, have the opportunity and the obligation to fix the constitution [sic] and stop it from failing us.

That worked! How can we reject the wisdom of a has-been actress?

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) said, “I contend based on this testimony, that the ERA is now an amendment to the Constitution duly ratified by the 38th state, the Commonwealth of Virginia.”

Well, if Gerry and Alyssa say so it must be so.

This is going nowhere but it does show something. It shows the disdain the Left has for the Constitution and the rule of law. This is why when they talk of the Constitution and democracy, I cringe. I reject the way they view they law and I don’t want their version of democracy. Their version of democracy looks hauntingly like communism.

The Middle East is becoming a real problem.

The Kyle Rittenhouse enters the final stages of the trial.

Black Lives Matter will never stop destroying New York City.

And the Wall Street Journal hits it on the head.

Wonder If We’re Going to Hear Anything About This

Joe Biden is losing control of the Middle East. Afghanistan is a disaster. Pakistan told us to kick rocks and refuse to let us use their air bases. China made a deal with Afghanistan and soon will be occupying a couple of out bases. Iran is about to have a nuclear bomb (if they don’t have one by now).

An Iranian-based group in Yemen has stormed the United States Embassy. They have taken hostages, intelligence and equipment.

The Free Beacon reported:

A group of Houthi rebels reportedly stormed the U.S. compound on Wednesday seeking “large quantities of equipment and materials,” according to regional reports translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute. The raid comes just five days after the Houthis kidnapped Yemeni nationals who work for the U.S. embassy. “The alleged raid comes after the Houthis kidnapped three Yemeni nationals affiliated with the U.S. Embassy from one of the employee’s private residences in Sana’a on November 5,” according to MEMRI. At least 22 other Yemenis were kidnapped by the Houthis in recent weeks, “most of whom worked on the security staff guarding the embassy grounds,” according to MEMRI. 

So now we have hostages in Afghanistan and Yemen. Hell, that worse than Jimmy Carter.

The administration said:

“We call on the Houthis to immediately vacate it and return all seized property. The U.S. government will continue its diplomatic efforts to secure the release of our staff and the vacating of our compound, including through our international partners.”

This isn’t going to stop. The United States is seen as weak right now, thanks to Joe Biden. We look like we’re more worried about using the right pronouns and racism rather than the real threats in the world.

It’s Over

The Kyle Rittenhouse trial has ended the evidentiary portion of the trial. So what’s left?

• Closing arguments.
• Juror instructions.
• Deliberations.

But first, the judge has some decisions to make.

• Does he drop more charges? Like attempted murder of the guy who admitted he aimed a gun at Rittenhouse? He’s already dropped the curfew violation.
• Does he do a directed verdict? The prosecution has not only not proved their case but their witnesses have proven Rittenhouse’s case. The case also looks completely political. The media has convicted him. The FBI was hiding video they took.
• Does he rule that this is a mistrial with prejudice? That would be the same as a directed verdict.

The reality is judges don’t like doing any of this. There is a very good chance he is going to allow the case to go to the jury. If the jury votes guilty, there is a great chance the judge throws out the verdict and releases him. There is also a very good chance the judge would allow him to go on his own reconsents until his appeals are pushed through.

Next week is going to be an interesting week and expect fireworks no matter what the verdict is.

Huh?

What do I mean about fireworks no matter what the verdict?

Black Lives Matter and Antifa are going to riot again in Kenosha. No matter what. Kyle Rittenhouse needs to get the death penalty for Kenosha to avoid rioting and, then, only maybe. We are already seeing this is happening in other parts of the country.

In New York City, Eric Adams, a former cop and the mayor elect who will relieve that incompetent and ground hog killer, Bill de Blasio. He has sworn he will bring law and order to the streets and end all this “defund the police” crap.

By the way, he’s also black. That’s what he’s run on. That is his campaign promise.

Well, the New York City chapter of BLM said they will light the city up if Adams tries to bring back some of the police’s special forces which is what he promised to do.

Hawk Newsome, co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, and his sister Chivona Newsome, also a co-founder of the group, threatened civil unrest and violence if Adams kept to his campaign pledge.

Hawke said:

“If he thinks that they’re going to go back to the old ways of policing, then we are going to take to the streets again. There will be riots, there will be fire and there will be bloodshed because we believe in defending our people.

“So there is no way that he is going to let some Gestapo come in here and harm our people. We pray for peace but … prepare for the worst.”

His sister added:

“We will shut the city down. We will shut down City Hall, and we will give him hell and make it a nightmare.”

The Newsomes and Adams held a meeting before his comments. When Newsome threatened New York City, Adams went ballistic:

“You’re on the ground: Stop the violence in my community. I’m holding you accountable.

“Don’t hold me accountable, Being the mayor, being the borough president, being the state senator — I put my body on the line for my community, so I’m not here for folks to come and say, ‘Eric, we’re gonna hold you accountable.’

“No, it’s us. We need to do this together.”

Hey, Eric, they aren’t going to help you. They think you’re a racist even though you’re a Democrat and black. They think you’re a racist because anyone that is part of the system is a racist.

I hope Adams has the balls to back up his words. These people are playing for keeps. This is a war. He needs not to be afraid of getting his hands dirty and throwing these pieces of garbage in prison.

Oops!

Biden made a speech yesterday and it started a firestorm with everyone except the media. I hear this and I just wonder what kind of scandal this would create. Listen:

Some things:

• I think this is “old man disease”. I don’t know because Joe Biden definitely has his prejudices.
  • He presided over Robert Byrd’s funeral. Robert Byrd was a Grand Cyclops for the KKK.
  • He said you can’t go into a 7-11 without hearing an Indian accent.
  • He called Barrack Obama a “clean, good looking and smart man”.
  • He said that “poor kids were as smart as white kids”.
• Here’s the problem I see that will let me give him a break. I think he misspoke. I think he meant to say, “the Negro Leagues” not that Satchel Paige was a Negro.
• But f-him. Joe Biden is a racist. If I’m a racist because I don’t think people should burn down buildings, he’s can be a racist for saying what he’s said.
  • Barrack Obama banned the use of the word “Negro” when he was president and Joe was vice president.
  • I listened to some people who are black and they don’t like the term, “Negro”. They say it’s not much different than the N-word.
• I can’t be too upset that he insulted black people. He insults people, no matter their race, on a daily basis. So why should people of color be immune to the insults.
• This is the Joe Biden people elected. That’s democracy. And we are getting democracy good and hard.

This Is Completely Accurate

You may have noticed I rushed through those stories. Heck, you may have been relieved I rushed through those stories. That’s because the Wall Street Journal ran an opinion piece called Millennials, Put Away Childish Political Things by Mary Eberstadt. I think it’s an important article because it hits on everything that is failing in our culture.

It’s not just about Millennials. It messes with Gen Z and the later generations. Here it is:

As the election results of 2021 suggest a chill in the air for the left, the time has come to talk to younger voters—millennials and Generation Z—about America’s future. The message can be distilled in a single sentence: You’ve been robbed.

You have been robbed of something treasured by millions of less-literate Americans before you: knowledge and appreciation of your own country, and its symphonic, tumultuous, sometimes riven and always illuminating history.

According to some of today’s loudest and most influential voices, the U.S. is an irredeemable cesspool of racism and bigotry. This lie has resulted in a wide patriotism gap. In 2020, according to one poll, under a quarter of Democrats surveyed said they were extremely proud to be American, as opposed to almost three-quarters of Republicans. Only a third of Americans your age say the same.

Ask yourselves why. Most of us wouldn’t trash-talk our families. Most of us wouldn’t trash-talk our neighborhoods. Think about that the next time someone trash-talks your national home and neighborhood, your country.

This is a tremendous introduction but, right off, I see a huge problem. That problem involves the things that she’s goin to talk about throughout the article. Unfortunately, she does not address how to get the youth to that point that they have lost.

One such figure, impresario of the New York Times’s “1619 Project,” says she has never regarded herself as “particularly patriotic.” Another, whose sulfurous racialism permeates elite education, says that he has never felt free in the U.S., even as his every grievance is celebrated and subsidized. If they have such a low opinion of America, what makes you think they care about Americans—including you?

That’s a great question that has been answered over the last couple of years through the riots, tearing down of statues, crime, drug addiction and cancel culture. They don’t like Americans. Especially Americans that like their country.

Many of today’s young have been robbed, too, of another source of immaterial wealth: the consolations and joys of family life. This theft is due in part to generational arithmetic. Today’s younger adults hail from smaller networks of kinship than earlier generations. You are more likely to have lacked a father at home and to have had fewer siblings, cousins, uncles and aunts than your forbears.

The family deficit is also a consequence of ideas. Generations of thinkers have disparaged the family as the enemy of utopian schemes. In their depictions, home and hearth amount to a slaughterhouse of dreams and aspirations, especially for women. To the contrary: Unprecedented rates of abortion, fatherlessness and divorce, far from liberating you, have subtracted actual and potential loved ones from your lives. No wonder surveys show that young people are the loneliest Americans.

Absolutely correct! The family, made of a father and mother, has been demonized by the Left. But it started back in the 19th century with Karl Marx. According to revisesociaology.com, Marx said:

• Teaches societal norms.
• Establishes morality.
• Teaches empathy (mother) and chivalry (father).
• Establishes faith.
• Creates community.

Some of you have been robbed of another rich inheritance: organized religion. Men and women throughout the ages concluded that humanity exists within some form of a sacred order. Alongside that understanding of the divine flourished the greatest art and science, architecture and music and human creation at large that our species has ever devised. Permanent membership in “none of the above” secularism risks relinquishing your own cultural inheritance: Western civilization.

Marxists/communists hate religion. That’s because people do not see government as God, they see God as God. There is a higher power. But every secular society always seems to be missing something. They are missing hope.

This brings us to the political choice before you. Today’s neo-Marxism and identity politics seek to co-opt your youthful energies into a lifetime of performative rancor. Is that what you want?

The left tells you that your fellow citizens are racists, fascists, sexists, bigots and haters. This relentless negativity obliterates youthful hopes. It shrivels the youthful imagination. Worst of all, it shrinks your hearts.

Young people are designed by nature to love and to be loved with energy and magnanimity. Today’s misanthropes tell you the opposite: that humanity is a toxin on the planet, unworthy of reproduction. This counsel couldn’t be more wrong—especially for you. If loneliness is the problem, putting more people in your lives with marriage and children is the self-evident solution.

One thing Marxists want is unhappiness. This isn’t something I’m making up, it is a policy choice. The reason is communist/Marxist governments want a perpetual revolution. Leaders from countries like North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela are constantly bringing up the revolution in their speeches. The Cuban government has been talking about the revolution for 60 years. How does this help them to make their people miserable? People will always think they are heading toward utopia and they just have to suffer a little longer.

But, we know, the suffering never stops. When I speak to a socialist or communist, the first thing I ask is, “Have you ever been to a socialist country?” The answer is always, “no”.

The woke arrogantly claim to own you simply by virtue of your youth. That’s because they have a lot to sell you, in commerce as well as politics. Corporations fly under cool-kid flags to market harmful products. Consider the hawking of marijuana to your demographic. Or how some tech companies have succeeded in addicting millions to social media, with harrowing consequences we’re only beginning to understand. All these lurches for your wallet might make you question the left’s authority.

Completely correct. Unfortunately, this is the Catch-22 of capitalism. Yes, it creates tremendous innovation because it allows for the competitive spirit of human nature. But human nature can be corrupted and we do see that. But socialism, which represses human nature, creates nothing.

Look at China. China’s “powerful” economy is a paper tiger. If it wasn’t for American manufacturers like Apple and Nike, their economy would be nothing. That hypersonic missile was not invented by China. It is American technology. They innovate nothing. The steal their innovations.

Conservatism isn’t a monolith. Conservatives disagree over all sorts of ideas and policies, at times profoundly. That’s the point. Diverse as it is, conservatism is one community where you will find authentic debate—even as sanity and agreement on a few big things still prevail.

In place of today’s cynical exploitation of race, conservatism says Martin Luther King Jr. In place of identity politics that flies under rival banners and denies our common home, it says only the American flag should fly over a U.S. Embassy. In place of ever more fastidiously defined factions, it says one nation indivisible. And in place of indifference to the sufferings incurred by family decline, family subversion and postmodern cultural chaos, conservatism seeks revival.

This is the room where the grown-ups are. This is where you deserve to be too—you who know from the inside your generation’s poignant realities. You are overdue for the restoration of America’s undiminished promise and for upward moral mobility.

I also want to point out that Eberstadt skipped something very important. She skipped that the institutions are normalizing the Marxist theories. This is the tough part of bring patriotism back to our kids. When children are in school being told the United States is bad, it gets confirmed by the media and the entertainment industry romanticizes it, it’s no surprise the current generations aren’t getting married, having children out of wedlock and not looking to God or religion. A lot of those generations have been brainwashed.

I see the only way to take control of the future is for conservatives to take back the institutions or create parallel institutions. Then we can raise our kids in those institutions.
