“Spending more and more money on Ukraine might thrill those partisans who refuse to see that we might be funding a military and humanitarian catastrophe, but we need a better understanding of why we are so invested in a conflict that seems to play no major role in our geopolitical and economic priorities—but might instead be a form of incredibly expensive (and perhaps self-defeating) re-election spending by the Biden administration.”

“For a second, imagine that black students at Columbia were taunted: Go back to Africa,” [Bari Weiss] wrote Sunday. “Or imagine that a gay student was [sic] surrounded by homophobic protesters and hit with a stick at Yale University. Or imagine if a campus imam told Muslim students that they ought to head home for Ramadan because campus public safety could not guarantee their security.”

Weiss accurately added: “There would be relentless fury from our media and condemnation from our politicians.”

But since the targets of this growing mayhem are mere Jews, the responses are crickets, handwringing, and “context.”

“We attach far too much importance to stories and not nearly enough to policies because we approach politics as a form of entertainment. We cheer for our heroes, hiss at those we deem to be the villains—and remain oblivious to the damage done by brain dead demagoguery.”

“The outrageous experiments that sexually adventurous educators and their fellow travelers in academia and medicine are now inflicting on our young are, in fact, a form of child abuse, and parents and other concerned Americans should be demanding immediate investigations, professional sanctions, and dismissals of those responsible because the human wreckage of this folly will span the generations and ruin the happiness of many individuals and their families.”

“We want to make our students college and career ready…. Nowhere in college do you get 50% for doing nothing. Nowhere in the world of work do you get 50% for doing nothing…If I don’t show up to work, they don’t pay me 50% of my salary even if I made a reasonable attempt to get there.” (However, this keeps the classroom seats filled, the state aid based on mere attendance—results be damned—rolls in, and another generation of graduates is robbed of their futures. Welcome to Woke public education!)

“Although the failures of many individual Americans and sub-groups have less to do with oppression and much more to do with poor decision-making, lack of effort, and deeply flawed character, to even inquire why money is being expended on programs that promote unending dependency, self-destruction, and generational harm is—using the lovely circular logic of liberalism—itself a form of oppression.”

I thought I would repost this in light of the NPR / Uri Berliner / Free Speech meltdown: “Those who vainly try to examine both sides of an issue are now considered haters who are triggering those compelled to hear an alternative viewpoint that could make them feel threatened or victimized. In short, reasoned and respectful conversation is now a tool of oppression because it does not automatically validate us—and might even require revisiting one’s opinion.”

“Human history is flawed because the humans who made it are flawed.  The desire of some to censure our celebrations of any historical figure or event that exhibits imperfections—all of which we can easily spot with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight—will eventually leave us adrift in a world where we have no heroes or heroic acts.”

“Whether one is fortunate enough to be insulated from the harms caused by irresponsibility or daily suffers from its consequences, there can be no doubt that all our futures will be determined by the extent to which we can elevate personal responsibility—and the individual accountability that naturally follows—back to the pinnacle of American values.”

“Perhaps never before in our nation’s history has there been such a cataclysmic disconnect between reality and fantasy, and the outcomes have been wrecking our country over the past several years.”

“Now glued to our flat-screen televisions and smart phones, we experience our world as less a sober discussion of our shared values and illuminating experiences and more a gladiatorial contest of screeching individuals and outlandish insults curated by media puppeteers chasing ratings and paychecks. Tabloid culture sets the norms of our lives and our nation.”

This poll finding is no surprise. Those who followed the rules, came here legally, and have taught their children and grandchildren to work hard and respect America have little patience with border jumpers who arrive here with their hands out and proceed to trash America. Democrats just don’t get it.

“As we are learning in America, virulent and unashamed anti-semitism can readily be spouted by Socialists—just look at so many Democrats in Congress today—so it might be time to ask whether the growth of Fascism on the far-left is the real threat to America.”

Just a heads-up for all those who still don’t understand what is driving those working to destroy America and Americans. We all need to keep this in our minds—every minute of every day.

“Because a proper mania brooks no dissent, in its grip everyone believes the same thing, says the same thing, and even uses the same language. A quasi-religious fervor makes anyone outside the bubble of shared obsession seem heretical, dangerous, insane or outright evil.” (Our race from one mania to the next is enabled by social media and fueled by the general disconnection from reality that is the real pandemic in America and our world today. Read this article!)

“A country that cannot find it within itself to set clear boundaries between what is right and what is wrong is guaranteed to put its children on the wrong path. The problems of the adults of tomorrow are caused by the grievous moral and ethical failures of the adults of today . . .”

I wrote this in January of 2021, right after Joe Biden’ Inauguration. The decision of the Democrats to go down the divisive ultra-left wing road and dismiss the needs of half of our nation as unworthy of their consideration has been a disaster for our national unity and put extraordinarily destructive policies into place that have entrenched debt, crime, and fear in our daily lives. How sad for us all.
