The Symptoms of Our Insanity

Think for a minute. When did we become a nation of socialist AOCs wearing “Tax the Rich” dresses to $35,000-a-ticket celebrity galas, without mandatory masks, while being served by masked servants—a now tired script from the Obama birthday bash crowd to the grandees at the Emmys? When did we discover that we must listen to oppressed billionaire Oprah from her $90 million Montecito estate commiserating with a billionaire Lebron or royal Meghan Markle about the racist white establishment? Is there anyone in the recent Washington intelligence and investigatory hierarchy who has not lied or feigned loss of memory under oath—

I Would have never have guessed that so many average Americans were constrained in their bad behavior only by the fear of getting caught. We are a nation of people who couldn't care less about doing good, but obsessed with being perceived as good. On Sunday morning, I was passed by 3 different vehicles doing 80 mph through a 55 mph construction zone only 1/2 mile long. I would never have guessed that so many good Americans would sit idly by while their Country was coopted by criminal kleptocrats. Where are the Tea Party types who stood up and said, "no!" So many seem so concerned with protecting their gilded cage.

How do we protest this insanity so well described by VDH ? If we call out on our own we get cancelled. If we protest in a large group we are either ignored by media or arrested as insurrectionists. If we try to vote them out of office, they cheat with overwhelming numbers of mail in ballots. We are becoming trapped. But like a trapped wild animal we could become very dangerous.

I just sat in a multi-hour conversion with two other women yesterday where we discussed many of the points brought up by VDH. We see it! As Number 4 has so well pointed out we feel powerless to do anything to stop what is happening. We aren’t stupid though - we also see looming hunger in the future and we are preparing accordingly.

We no longer punish criminals with deterrence in mind. So criminals continue in their ways undeterred … no matter the severity of their crimes. The new Afghan government took no time in showing us how they would keep criminals out of their government.

FTA: "Did anyone just five years ago believe the following could possibly happen in America—and invoke almost no popular outrage from a somnolent public?" I believe the "somnolent public" is the most important observation of the article.

It is impossible for a Godless society to reap God's rewards. That is just the way Creation works. Seventy years ago our wise men on the Supreme Court jettisoned God from our schools, and nine years ago the Democratic Party formally rejected God even being mentioned in their political platform. Instead of God's Word forming conscience and creativity our learned writers, entertainment producers, academics and teachers, politicians and "wealth gospel" preachers have chosen progressive evils in their search for the meaning of man without a Creator. God does not punish, He allows the just consequences of actions to occur. When evil is ascendant its actually a good sign for God's Children. We cannot save our country until we start saving souls, and we can't save other souls until we save our own. We must keep our focus on the spiritual warfare that is the root of our dysfunction. Believers should "check-in" with God throughout the day with prayer, reading and meditating on Scripture so they are attuned to the workings of the Holy Spirit that will guide their actions. In the mysterious ways of God, persecution is our most successful recruitment tool. Western civilization can triumph or slide into another Dark Age. Either way, embracing our Judaeo-Christian heritage is our salvation. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

"...Or do these symptoms of long-standing illnesses arise from the media and university, where the twins of incompetence and ideology ruined the critical consciousness of an entire generation of young minds? " All five lights lit up on that one...pay the man! It is beyond disgusting that those very same institutions that helped an intelligent man such as VDH to gain insite, knowledge and the ability to think critically, have now descended beyond the gutter, mass producing unquestioning, uneducated, irredemmable, loathsome charicatures of citizens of western civilization solely intent on destroying that which nurtured them. I hope I survive long enough to witness the fate that communists habitually submit their useful idiots too.

One possible starting point prior to the (inevitable) violence is a national Just Say No campaign. No to masks, vaxxes, lockdowns, etc. at all levels of government. Do not comply. It should have started last year. As for the invasion on our borders, meet violence with violence. Take back our streets. Deal with our domestic traitors in government. We know who they are. Pipe dream? Probably, because it will take hundreds of thousands of participants. That won't happen.

Almost a year after President Joe Biden trounced Donald Trump in Virginia, the state's unexpectedly tight race for governor has alarmed Democrats and left Republicans hopeful they can win back crucial suburban voters who left the party during Trump's tumultuous presidency. With early voting under way, the non-partisan Cook Report has labeled the Nov. 2 contest between Democrat Terry McAuliffe, a former Virginia governor, and Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin, a toss-up. A poll last week by the University of Mary Washington gave Youngkin an advantage with likely voters.

"History never repeats itself but it rhymes," Mark Twain is generally credited with saying, so it is understandable how today’s ongoing debate over President’s Biden’s first budget may have a familiar feel to it. It seems we’ve been here before. For me, that familiarity is a bit more personal. I was one of the Republican congressional candidates who were part of the historic GOP takeover of the House of Representatives in 1994 – a direct result of the passage of the largest tax increase in history in President Clinton’s first budget in 1993.

Over the past year, the left-leaning media has peddled the narrative that an emotional constellation of “white resentment,” “white fragility,” “white rage,” and “white fear” drives opposition to critical race theory in America’s public schools. Now NBC News claims it can prove it. In a long story featuring analysis of demographic data, NBC News reporter Tyler Kingkade and data editor Nigel Chiwaya claim that the parent uprisings against critical race theory, which have occurred in more than 200 school districts across the country, are a “backlash” against “rapid demographic change” and “the exposure of white students to students of color.” Or, to put it bluntly, it’s the ugly

Policymakers and public health officials need to be held accountable for their miserable pandemic failures. So should the media, which have no interest in objective news, and are following an agenda that is both repulsive and poisonous. Among the media’s favorite stories of the past 18 months are the deaths of the unvaccinated and those who expressed skepticism about the lethality of the Wuhan coronavirus. A recent example is the death of a 40-year-old California woman, who, according to the British Daily Mail, “regularly posted anti-vax, anti-mask content, proclaiming herself a ‘free thinker’ who ‘questions everything.’ ” The mother of four – who also considered herself “unmuzzled”

President Biden went before the United Nations this week to lecture the world about “dignity.” “Will we affirm and uphold the human dignity and human rights under which nations in common cause more than seven decades ago, formed this institution?” he wondered, just weeks after Afghan civilians tumbled through the skies from a U.S. military transport plane in the wake of Mr. Biden’s historically disastrous retreat from Afghanistan. “People have taken to the streets in every region to demand that their governments address peoples’ basic needs, give everyone a fair shot to succeed, and protect their God-given rights,” he lectured, weeks after handing Afghanistan back to Taliban terrorists who beat women

Call it a “wokelash.” Ordinary Americans are fed up with corporations' woke politics on issues unrelated to their businesses. A recent Rasmussen poll finds that two-thirds of Americans think companies should stay out of politics. Now, new legislation sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio will help people hold companies accountable for their political virtue signaling. The Mind Your Own Business Act, introduced in the Senate this week, makes it easier for shareholders to sue companies engaging in gratuitous politics for breaching their fiduciary duty to maintain shareholder value. In an effort to appease liberal lawmakers who threaten them with punitive regulations, corporations have increasingly been wading into divisive political issues

Operation Gaslight is collapsing. A majority of Americans blame President Biden for the border crisis, a new poll shows, as the administration is caught lying about the makeshift refugee camp under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas. About two-thirds of the 15,000 Haitians living in unsanitary conditions under the bridge have been moved out since Saturday, as local authorities try to regain ­control. Just over 5,000 migrants remained yesterday afternoon. But the tough talk from the administration that they would be deported back to Haiti under a special Trump-era pandemic health order has turned out to be hot air.
White House Treats Media With Well-Earned Disdain 8 replies

It’s no secret that most Americans mistrust the media. A recent Gallup survey found that only 21 percent of the public expressed “a great deal” of confidence in newspapers. Television news fared even worse. This distrust of the media isn’t merely due to dishonest “reporting,” it is also tied to collusion between journalists and the politicians they are meant to keep honest. The White House press pool, for example, is little more than a Greek Chorus that recites Biden administration talking points. In exchange for this tawdry performance, they expect occasional access to the President. But Biden’s handlers have no more respect for the media than does the public.

Finally, after averting its eyes, the Left has found a reason to take an interest as Haitian migrants flood by the thousands across the Rio Grande into Texas. Naturally, what grabbed their attention is not the real issue, which is President Joe Biden triggering an irruption of illegal aliens by foolishly inviting them in and scrapping immigration policies that worked. The thing that brought a new focus, and piqued outrage, was video footage of mounted officers trying to control the invasion. What detonated the Left’s anger and started another embarrassingly vapid round of hand-wringing is captured by a false report from Business Insider that wrote

President Biden’s remarks Tuesday to the U.N. General Assembly fell flat.Why? Because once again, Biden demonstrated weakness. He is pushing our allies away and cozying up to our enemies. Biden said during his remarks, "We’re opening a new era of relentless diplomacy, of using the power of our development aid to invest in new ways of lifting people up around the world." And while we should value diplomacy, a strong America is what will enable that diplomacy, and not the promise of American tax dollars.

Capitalism offers an optimal paradigm to organize a virtuous society’s economic affairs. But virtue is a precondition for capitalism, not a product of it, and no modern phenomenon better highlights that distinction than the rise of addictive social-media platforms. This past week, The Wall Street Journal reported on Facebook’s knowledge of the harmful impact of its Instagram platform on teen girls; on Facebook’s role in promoting anger on its platform; on Facebook’s weak response to employee-reported drug-cartel and human-trafficking activity on its platform; on how the Facebook platform thwarted Mark Zuckerberg’s desire to promote ­COVID-19 vaccinations; and on Facebook’s “XCheck” program, which exempts high-profile accounts and VIP

Almost 100 percent of Americans need to be vaccinated before the country can safely return to normal, President Joe Biden claimed Monday. Biden said that “97%, 98%” is the goal as a country during his much-publicized appointment to receive a COVID-19 booster shot Monday. He offered no explanation for the number. Medical experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, have predicted that herd immunity would only require 70% to 85% of Americans to be vaccinated.

As we previously reported, Joe Biden is going all-in with this ridiculous claim, suddenly, that his $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill costs “zero dollars.” He wasn’t alone in trying to push this claim. As we pointed out, he had Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) parroting the claim. Now, other Democrats have jumped aboard the narrative train including Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) signed on board as well. Here’s White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki trying to sell the same claim. But, of course, what would a Democratic agenda narrative be without help from their buddies

Joe Biden is the worst president we’ve had since the last worst president we had: Barack Obama, who was the worst president since Jimmy Carter. It has escaped no one’s notice. Covid lockdowns and mandates; the destructive, inhumane, callow, disgusting bug-out of Afghanistan; generational theft-level spending; and tyrannical diktats have touched everyone – except Hollywood and D.C., naturally. Turn that flag upside down, Australia here we come. Where people have been “allowed” to congregate they have made their disgust with Joe Biden well known in the coarsest and unsociable of ways – and they’ve been cheered for it! Nearly everywhere you look, people in large groups and small are chanting “F*** Joe Biden!”

The Democrats keep saying the quiet part out loud. During a Sunday morning interview with far-left Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, Biden DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the Biden administration opposes the border wall because it’s a “proud tradition” for the United States to let people in illegally through the southern border. “Why did you allow them in the country in the first place? Why didn’t you build – forgive me – a wall? Or a fence, from stopping this flood of people from coming across the dam. It looks like a highway when they cross the Rio Grande,” Wallace asked. The response from Mayorkas was simply mindblowing.
