America has literally lost the plot. On the last soundstage, all parts are interchangeable: Men become women, and the grizzled butch coaches of college athletics can't wait to put 'em on the ladies' track team. Women become men, and then pregnant men, and then threaten the hospital for the humiliation of having to give birth in a "maternity ward".
Warner Bros gives J K Rowling the bum's rush for being so out of it as to think periods are something women have. In the TERF wars, lesbians are transphobic because they don't wish to date women with penises.
At dark on the streets of US cities, wispy, spindly, elderly eternal "college" boys cheer on hefty psycho-trannies with purple hair and hirsute cleavage as they light up precinct houses. Indulgent prosecutors release them without bail - or, if bail is still quaintly required, Seth Rogen or a Joe Biden staffer will cover it.
Stories with less helpful narratives - Democrat Congresswomen getting carjacked, or blacks slaughtering blacks every weekend in Chicago, or black criminals (sprung from the big house by woke DAs) mowing down white grannies at a Christmas parade - are instantly memory-holed. Even real people adjust their actual lives to conform with the needs of the greater narrative: Thus the Vice President of the United States, the first in history to announce her pronouns on Twitter, purports to have celebrated "Kwanzaa" during her childhood in, um, a high-caste Indian household in, er, Quebec.

I forgot to wish everyone on Free Republic a Happy Kwanzaa! Gross!

Too bad Rod Serling isn’t still around. Can you imagine if he and Mark Steyn collaborated on a series of stories?
We are truly beyond the Twilight Zone…..
Wow, Mark seems to get more and more bitter with every column. This one was a masterpiece.
Mark
The title made me LOL.
That's where we are! On to 2022 and A Happy New Year to All!
Steyn sticks the landing.
So, at the dawn of another Year Zero, I renew my old credo: Unless you're prepared to surrender everything, surrender nothing - and don't waste your time with alleged rock-ribbed politicians who have surrendered far too much already. And, if the many "successors to Rush" are running a poll on who's your favorite superhero, remember that guys in long underwear flying around the sky have no actual corporeal existence, so switch off the radio and cast your eye further afield - to Central Europe, say, where party leaders have many interesting policies, less evasive rhetoric, and no desire to go over the falls in America's wake.
I LOVE MARK STYNE!!!
Vintage Steyn. What a gift.
An excellent piece.
Really, really bad things happen when governments pretend things to be true that aren’t true, such as:
Witch hunts and lynchings.
Legalized slavery.
The Holocaust.
Legalized abortion.
And now pretending that homosexuality is normal.
Doing the French Mistake?
Love, Mongo
He’s been sounding darker and more pessimistic of late. I’m afraid he doesn’t hold much hope for the future of the West.
And in case anyone has notice he hasn’t appeared on Fox news lately, I heard him say that he had a “falling out” with them.
And America has a big giant Kardashian tush at that.
He is so funny!
“I’m afraid he doesn’t hold much hope for the future of the West.”
I should give you reasons...
I ran into a man over on MeWe who was a Congressional Staffer during the Tea Party daze...
Served some GOP-leaning-libertarian House Rep out of Kansas.
The inside scoop is this: AT LEAST 90% of Congress regards The Constitution as passe; worth lip service and precious little else. You could write their Oath of Office on toilet paper for all they care.
Even so-called “Tea Party” candidates mostly scoffed and maligned the movement behind closed doors.
And I’m talking, what, ten to fifteen years ago, now?
That’s how bad it was THEN. The number of Congressmen who take The Constitution seriously can be counted on your fingers with a couple to spare.
“The American Experiment” has all but failed; it’s carrying forward on fumes and its own momentum.
While We, The People were micro-focused on characters, and misdeeds, and hot-button issues, the elites snuck out the back way and throttled The Republic in the alley.
Killed it without a single shot fired, and we never saw it coming.
They haven’t shredded the documents, yet, but give them time; they’ve already thrown down our history. What chance do a couple of crusty manuscripts drafted by European white guys have in the face of that monstrosity?
It’s a hideous evil of the worst kind; one that calls itself — and all of its manifest perversions — “Good” and socially criminalizes any who dare question. It’s the man behind the curtain in “The Wizard of Oz” except, when exposed, instead of a well-meaning old charlatan, there’s a mind-numbingly wicked, soul-eating Anti-christ construct that will, quite literally, stop at nothing — stoop to ANYTHING — to preserve to itself power and authority; validity be damned.
I am not at all confident, given the turns things have taken these past couple of years, that we will not within the next decade see the Constitution OPENLY ignored by Congress, and by Presidents.
PLAINLY, unless there is a forceful exhibition made by The People of these United States, absent thundering, eye-popping Divine Intervention of a magnitude not seen since Sinai, this nation shall not much longer endure.
IN 2022, PRAY AS IF ALL YOU HOLD DEAR IS AT STAKE.
BECAUSE IT IS.
