The Woke Mob’s Destruction of the English Language

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/2/2022 5:25:16 AM

In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.. George Orwell, Politics and the English Language. Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, a member of the progressive “squad,” recently accused those who disagree with student debt cancellation of "policy violence." That is, to disagree with the left now is “violence.” This kind of linguistic legislation by the left is now common. Words mean whatever they want them to mean in order to achieve their far-left goals.Pressley’s statement is also an implied threat. Since violence is justified in response to violence, Pressley is letting American’s know what is coming if they do not get their way.

The left in the USA should heed history for their push to destroy our unique way of life, unmatched any other place in the world. Right now, we are engaged a war of words, having to contend with the twisted logic and outright lies of the likes of Ariana Presley and allies in the halls of Congress and media. If this keeps up, especially that piece about justifying real violence against the made-up “violence” of their opponents, they should meet the actual and real violence suffered by the communists in Indonesia in 1965, when they tried to usurp the then pro-American government there. In my words, they got royally smushed and have yet, to this day, to get back up. It is my fond dream that this same righteous violence will happen here, before our country reaches the point of no return to save itself. Indonesia is referred only because it was the first successful bloody pushback against communism since the end of WWII.

Forget her peculiar approach to language, and allow me to give a real life example of Higher Education thinking.When I was a dean of a school of business, tuition was X thousand dollars at that university. I reported to the Academic Vice President , who fancied himself an expert in Higher Education finance. The AVP, offered, regularly, his opinion that we (the university) 'had room to charge X plus 5000 dollars.' He never talked about what that additional money could do for new programs, better facilities, stronger faculty - just that there was room for the increase. And the tuition increase would be buried in a student's financial aid package, the AVP assured everyone. (Many schools combine tuition, a blizzard of fees, housing, and lab charges into an unreadable document. And those schools then brag about how nearly every student receives 'aid.') Now, stop, take a deep breath, and multiply that dimwitted thinking to administrators at hundreds of colleges and universities. How could that thinking have become established in the U.S.? Federal intervention in college funding! Student loans! Pell grants! And when Barack Obola had the federal government take over student loans, that allowed the leftists to tee up the ability to forgive student loans given to students who may not have needed the money, to attend over-priced schools which fed at the trough of easy money. Policy violence, indeed!

The dim leftists forget that the civilian population of the US is now the biggest and best-armed army in the world. Threaten us at your peril. Other countries that have opposed socialism/communism first let themselves be disarmed. Venezuela, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, many others. The fact that Brandon or Hussein have not been able to make a dent in gun ownership means that they fear the consequences of attempting it so fear is the only weapon they dare use against us. They still haven't figured that going after the street thugs that are misusing the weapons, not honest citizens, is the way to end gun violence although they lie about their real goal. Do not mess with the Sleeping Giant.

Pressley has no real clue what is coming. Because the media is lying even to their fellow democrats. So they think that they are the majority when the reality is, they are the pathetic and sad minority. Reality is going to bite them hard when they finally hit the right button. All it has ever taken to start war in this country is that one iconic shot, right? So keep pressing the buttons you silly parasites. You will hit the right one, guaranteed.

They can make up all the contrived word salads they want, but it is the MSM that forwards it to the World; if the editors would simply NOT print garbage, no one would know what the freaks on the Left are making up. If the word(s) are not word(s), do not print them.

It's all Ghetto Speak and Jungle Lip. America has been slouching toward the jungle since the 1990's when the media decided to mainstream the Rap culture and glorify the "Gangsta" lifestyle, and more recently the "player" and "pimp' are the new 'thing'. Blacks in this nation always gravitate back to the Congo.

NEW YORK— New York’s attorney general recently subpoenaed former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., demanding their testimony in connection with a civil investigation into the family’s business practices, according to a court filing made public Monday.The subpoenas, stemming from Attorney General Letitia James’ yearslong investigation into matters including “the valuation of properties owned or controlled” by Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, came to light after James went to court last month seeking to force the Trumps to comply.

With the turn of the calendar to 2022, Republicans are not only looking to the 2022 midterm elections but to the prospect of Donald Trump running in 2024. Trump is hugely popular with the party’s base and that popularity freezes the plans of other possible candidates for the 2024 nomination. Trump’s hold on that nomination is brittle, however, because of his age. On election day in 2024 Donald Trump will be 78 years old. That is one year older than Ronald Reagan’s age when he left office in 1988.Looking at the 2024 contest from the other side of the race, there is no reason to expect that Joe Biden

As the anniversary of the Capitol Hill riot from January 6 approaches, the media have ramped up their efforts to remind us about that day. Every Sunday show featured someone involved with the U.S. Capitol. While "Fox News Sunday" spoke with chief of U.S. Capitol Police, Thomas Manger, who took on such a role in July. The other shows featured members from the select committee on January 6, including Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Liz Cheney (R-WY), and Bennie Thompson (D-MS).

Frequent consumers of news may be aware of Gallup's annual poll measuring the "most admired man" in America which is typically announced a few days before New Year's. The poll was done yearly from 1946 through 2020, with 1976 the only year that was skipped. NewsBusters pointed out a year ago that liberal news media lost interest in the annual poll after Donald Trump started edging out Barack Obama for first place, whereas the networks previously enjoyed using the survey to embarrassing Trump as sitting President failing to come in first place. This year, a Google search conspicuously shows no sign that Gallup conducted such a poll
