The end of the Marxist-infiltrated Progressive Era isn’t happening with a whimper, but with bangs.
The end of the Marxist-infiltrated Progressive Era isn’t happening with a whimper, but with bangs. In 2024, it’ll happen with convulsions, likely violent. What follows is up for grabs.
The foreshadowing occurred again in Nashville last week. Will the leftist-stoked and Democrat/establishment sanctioned 2020 riots prove merely a preview to a calamitous and pivotal 2024 presidential election year?
Six innocents -- three nine-year-olds, two teachers, and the school’s principal -- were gunned down in cold blood by a self-identified transgender, Audrey Hale. The act was demonic, though studiously papered over by the establishment media. How does anyone with an ounce of uncorrupted soul look a nine-year-old in the face and pull a trigger? Yet, Hale did just that.
Hale did that because she was raging -- raging because a fraction in the trans community are being encouraged to rage by Antifa and other left-wing outfits. Buy guns, trans are told, because “others” are out to get you. (We await the release of Hale’s manifesto for confirmation of motives. Will law enforcement redact the document?)
How explicit could the “Trans Day of Vengeance” have been? It was abruptly cancelled before last Saturday. Though scrubbed, the intent wasn’t. The original wasn’t billed a “Day of Self-Defense” Not a “Day of Peace and Reconciliation.” But cold vengeance, defined as “punishment inflicted in retaliation for an injury or offense : RETRIBUTION.” Words matter.
Tucker Carlson was quite right in his monologue last week: Christianity and transgenderism are wildly incompatible. Forget gobbledygook Christianity practiced by congregation-bleeding churches. Christianity and transgenderism never will reconcile. True science dictates, too, bolstering Christian teaching.
Humans aren’t gods with dominion to “transform” themselves from man to woman or woman to man...

Yes...con candidates should campaign to the left, and when they win, legislate to the right
Just got back from a walk through Grand Central, as well as the new LIRR East Side Access terminal as it was drizzly and damp outdoors. I try to walk 45 minutes to an hour each day when I'm in the city. It was a nice experience, seeing groups of people (lot of students on field trips) seeing Grand Central for the first time. All of them were so happy and awed to be there.
As for the out of control bicyclists, that's a function of police no longer enforcing violations such as riding bikes on sidewalks or the wrong way on one way streets. You really need to be careful crossing streets these days by looking both ways as those bicycles now come from all directions. Then this is compounded by the CitiBike rentals, where you have tourists trying to navigate the streets with them. Somehow though, collisions with bikes are very rare, which amazes me. Most New Yorkers develop a really good sense of situational awareness.
You are so correct about how people need to get out more. I constantly read here about what a cesspool NYC is and many of those people have never actually set foot here, maybe they saw "Taxi Driver" and got their impressions of New York City that way.
I have always liked working here and it's not a bad place to visit either. There are plenty of YouTube videos that even I learn from about what to see and where to go in the city (that doesn't involve Times Square!).

I’ve noticed the same from many people who say they hate Southern California. Many of them have never been there.
