The World Wants No Part of Woke, But It’s Glad We Do America once taught the world what works -- only now to mock its own lessons.

The United States obsesses over whether biological men can compete in women’s sports as transgender females.

Crime is spiking at levels not seen in 40 years. But some consider it racist to suggest that arrests, indictments, convictions, and incarcerations deter crime.

Major U.S. downtowns almost overnight went from mostly safe and clean to terrifying and toxic — and we brag that we are at least “tolerant” of the medieval conditions.

The Pentagon and CIA put out recruitment videos that sound like kindergarten diversity, equity, and inclusion programming.

Yet the military is less eager to explain why the United States met utter humiliation in Afghanistan or why the army only has met about 50 percent of its scheduled recruitment targets.

Few dare to attribute declining morale, inept strategic thinking, and anemic recruitment to the stereotyping and targeting of middle-class white males, Soviet-style workshops, and diversity, equity, and inclusion mind conditioning.

The Biden administration in its first 18 months warred on the U.S. oil and gas industry. Radical cutbacks in fossil fuels supposedly would “transition” the world to a greener future.

As always VDH is spot on! We are in a mess, and it starts form the White House and percolates down. I’m hoping the midterms provide at least a small correction in our path.

It’s all Obama. This is his 3rd term.

He never went away. He bought a DC mansion and set up a high tech war room in the basement. Run by Valjar, staffed with fellow marxists.

He was behind those who went after Trump and kneecapped his Presidency.

He runs Biden via Susan Rice in the WH.

Obama is a marxist muslim, and not Natural Born. He was selectand groomed to be President. But he is not in charge, either.

Soros, China, Klaus, WEF, Davos, Rockefellers. THEY run Obama, and much of the world.

They HATE Freedom, and the US.

Almost every group is infiltrated... almost. But not all.

Joe said Hunter is the smartest person he knows. Maybe Hunter is running the show. Often feels like it.

If Hunter was running everything, shouldn’t we all feel at least a little buzz if nothing else?

"It's all Obama. This is his 3rd term."

I remember when Obama said "We're about to fundamentally change the USA." Well, that's exactly what's he's doing to us right now.. And it ain't good..

Wrong target, dumbass! The American people are to blame because, ever since the Korean Conflict, we have let politicians manage the war, and they are inept. Let the generals run the war. It may be bloody, but that's the way war is. At least with them at the helm, it will be a shorter war because the Rule Of Engagement will be to win, not appease some leftist sitting on their comfy couch in hopes of getting re-elected.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

The United States obsesses over whether biological men can compete in women’s sports as transgender females.

Crime is spiking at levels not seen in 40 years. But some consider it racist to suggest that arrests, indictments, convictions, and incarcerations deter crime.

Major U.S. downtowns almost overnight went from mostly safe and clean to terrifying and toxic — and we brag that we are at least “tolerant” of the medieval conditions.
