    It was a helluva thing that Israeli Defense Forces accomplished in Gaza Sunday night, while people around the world were otherwise distracted by a celebrity-studded football game in Las Vegas. ... IDF and Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, launched a daring raid into the southern Gaza Strip to rescue two older hostages, men ages 60 and 70, whom Hamas terrorists took 128 days ago. Based on "precise intelligence," according to IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht — originally from Scotland — the operation breached a residential building where the hostages were known to be kept on the second floor....

    That incident at Stanford has really brought attention to this issue. It’s great to see people responding. The Washington Free Beacon reports: "The state of Texas is updating its bar application to include questions about whether applicants have engaged in “incivility and violations of school policies,” according to a letter from the Texas Supreme Court obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The change is a direct response to an incident at Stanford Law School last month in which students shouted down a federal judge. Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) wrote to the bar in March suggesting the change, arguing that...
  • Pence: Americans want leadership that reflects more ‘civility and respect’

    Former Vice President Mike Pence said on Wednesday that Americans want leadership that reflects the “civility and respect” that they show each other every day. Pence, widely thought to be eying a 2024 White House bid, said on “Fox & Friends” that people have come up to him to say that they want to see the policies of the Trump administration but also have a “genuine desire for leadership that could unite the country around our highest ideals.” “I’m out of politics now. And once you — once you get out of politics, and we moved back to Indiana is,...

    It seems very probable the R's will win the House. It's also looking very promising that the R's will gain a majority in the Senate. That being the case of a Republican congressional majority, what are your views will happen in the near days after the Nov 8 mid terms? Civility and acceptance of the election results? Riots in the cities? Call for recounts in key states? Me? I'm saying the liberals will be very uncivil.

    Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) on Sunday said President Biden's speech in Warsaw, Poland, was "very strong" despite an apparent gaffe toward the end regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin remaining in power. "I thought the president's speech was very strong, despite the ad-lib at the end, and the gaffe at the end, but it was a powerful speech that does not match the action," Portman said while appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press."

    Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was reportedly chewed out by Senate Republicans and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) after the debt ceiling vote Thursday night. After the vote to approve the debt ceiling increase, Schumer was “confronted” by Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) for a derogatory floor speech towards Republicans, Politico Playbook reported. Thune reportedly told Schumer his speech was “inappropriate and tone deaf.”
  • Democrats Want a 'Return to Civility'; When Did They Practice It?

    Townhall.com ^ | Jaqnuary 28, 2021 | Larry Elder
    A 2020 Joe Biden campaign ad described the pending election as an "opportunity to leave the dark, angry politics of the past behind us." After Biden's election, he, Democrats and media urge a "return to civility." But when did the Democrats practice the very civility to which they seek to return? Let's go to the videotape: When Barry Goldwater accepted the 1964 Republican nomination, California's Democratic Gov. Pat Brown said, "The stench of fascism is in the air." Former Rep. William Clay Sr., D-Mo., said President Ronald Reagan was "trying to replace the Bill of Rights with fascist precepts lifted...

    You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for. So, we need to foster incivility, and come up with ways new ways to threaten our opponents... while we illegally change the rules to make sure our plans to cheat can succeed "legally" when our corrupt partisan judges rule on it. Call the opposition "spineless" if they even think about resisting us. That always works. Spineless people always do exactly what you tell them to do when you call them that. Civility in America can begin again ONLY when "the ONE right political party"...

    Have you noticed that people don’t treat one another with the same level of respect and civility that they once did? Everywhere I look, people are treating one another badly, and this should greatly alarm all of us. Perhaps we can blame some of this on the pandemic, because the restrictions that authorities have implemented around the nation have definitely put people in a bad mood. And of course the fact that this is an election year is certainly not helping things. But I am seeing people that are supposedly on the same side treating each other with extreme contempt....

    On July 20, Nancy Pelosi said that if President Trump refuses to accept the results of the November election, he will have to be "fumigated" out of the White House. Fumigation is a technique used against insects, and the idea that human beings are insects has a long history in totalitarian discourse. Hitler described Jews as "vermin" and "parasites," a form of dehumanization that is always just one step away from physical violence. Speaker Pelosi should apologize immediately, and profusely, for her use of this inappropriate rhetoric. Most thoughtful persons would agree that labeling another an "insect" is uncivil. A...

    So, Donald Trump, Jr., retweeted a mean tweet about Grandpa Badfinger and the usual suspects went through their collective panty wetting again. “Civility is important,” we barbarians are duly informed, because of course it is. But we have noticed, over time, that in reality it only seems to be important when we are the ones breaching it. For us, it is open season. We have a big target on our collective back for the vilest slanders and the most ridiculous lies, but apparently that’s OK. “Civility” apparently only raises it’s well-coiffed, Romney-esque head when we breach it. S.E. Cupp, the...

    Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told a Presidents Day audience of investors and money managers that it’s time for a return to civility in the nation’s politics. And the man who was ousted early from the Republican primaries of 2016 gave a decidedly mixed review of the first term of President Donald Trump, who bruised him often on the campaign trail. Bush spoke Monday to an audience of several hundred investors in Hollywood at a conference sponsored by the financial firm Noble Capital Markets of Boca Raton. During a speech and onstage interview with author Brant Pinvidic, Bush likened the...
  • Guess Who Runs the Rudest Cities in America

    American Thinker.com ^ | January 6, 2020 | Noel S. Williams
    Recently, an oft-cited Business Insider survey ranked the rudest cities in America. The top 10 are all bastions of misguided liberalism. They are sanctuaries to illegal aliens and often hostile towards law-abiding citizens by imposing oppressive taxes and silly regulations and by encouraging lawlessness by handcuffing law enforcement. Intrigued, I compared the Business Insider list to a survey that ranks cities on a conservative-liberal spectrum, and to other surveys that rank by friendliness, safety, and crime. The results are insightful: independent surveys indicate that the rudest, most dangerous, and least friendly cites are overwhelmingly liberal and sanctuary cities. Moreover, some...

    This is the season of Advent for Christians. The season is not just about the event but about the expectation, the waiting, the preparation, the everyday events through which you can see God's grace shine. In today's polarized political environment, this might appear to be impossible to achieve. But I believe it is possible -- it just requires us to adjust our expectations and our state of mind. First, expectations. This week on ABC's "The View," hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Meghan McCain got into an argument and proceeded to verbally run over each other. It ended with Goldberg cutting McCain...
  • That's Rich: Jerry Springer Blames Trump for Decline in Civility

    On Friday, Jerry Springer — who made millions capitalizing on fights between family members on his decades-long NBC show after a scandal-plagued political career — blamed President Donald Trump for America's declining civility. "We can’t function as a society unless we have norms of how to behave," Springer told MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle. He insisted that when political leaders "misbehave, when they say the norms don’t matter, when they say, 'You can use whatever language you want, anything you can get away with, get away with it. If you don’t pay taxes, you’re smart.' ... When they have this behavior,...

    It’s no secret that Jerry Springer has seen more examples of the decline of civility in society than probably anyone. So when he blames Donald Trump for the current rise in rudeness, maybe he’s onto something? He thinks so anyway, as he told MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle during a segment on Friday. “I used to joke and say that my anger at the president is that he took my show and brought it to the White House,” Springer said. He then talked about civility in a manner familiar to anyone who has seen one of his “final thoughts” that used...
