Blood and Bloodlessness

At the end of a truly horrible week, I am trying to stay away, on the advice of doctors (seriously), from the Internet and from the bazillions of vile reactions to the death of Charlie Kirk - including from notorious courthouse fraudster Michael E Mann, who called him "the head of Trump's Hitler Youth"...

If you send either your kids or your money to the University of Pennsylvania, you're a fool colluding in the death of your country. As I wrote fifteen sodding years ago:

Education is the biggest single structural defect in the United States.

If you support it, you're part of the problem. Charlie Kirk died because he took the battle into the belly of the beast.

However, if I had to pick the absolutely most despicable response to the events of Wednesday, it would have to be this appearance on the CBS morning show (which I haven't watched since before Charlie Kirk was born - back in the Harry Smith/Paula Zahn days, for those who remember either). To maintain the veneer of impartiality, CBS had booked "former Speaker" Kevin McCarthy to represent the far-right-Hitler-Fascist perspective. If you have no recollection of Mr McCarthy's speakership, well, he lasted less time than the average French prime minister. I have a vague feeling I interviewed him on Rush once, but I couldn't swear to it. Yet, credit where it's due, along with Paul Tweedledee and Eric Tweedledum, he was, just twenty minutes ago, one of that exciting new breed of Republican leaders Conservative Inc was all hot for.

The left has loosed madness upon the land. There is no way back. If we're lucky, there will be a way through the blizzard of lies and bloodlust to whatever awaits on the other side. As I said on Wednesday, there is insufficient common humanity to bind us together, so, before any available off-ramp, there's going to be a lot more blood on the floor. It is not just the assassination itself but the two days of dishonest "mainstream" media and slavering chum-in-the-shark-tank "social" media that make it inevitable.

Christopher Rispoli, the woke owner of Gentle Care Animal Hospital in Edmond, Okla., suggested on social media that people should be inspired to kill more people after Charlie Kirk. "He is only the first!"

Over the last 20 years, almost every education system has been dumbed down and infiltrated with far left teachers and professors.
They are A CULT….brainwashing and spewing venom just like Islamists.
They take complete control over the minds of their pawns and have been programming their students for years.
The students can’t think for themselves anymore.
They have no morality.
The only value system they have is what the leftist teachers tell them to believe.
Until this is taken out of our educational system, our political system and the news media and these pawns are deprogrammed, it’s not going to end.
18% of the population is going to continue following their demon masters.
Willing pawns will keep killing.

Consider leftists zombies. They are The Walking Dead.

I will not make nicey with people who want to kill me. Those days are now long gone. I will not talk with people who rationalize political homicide. I will not listen to one word that they say about any subject, including the weather.

The man is a homicidal fool who should be arrested.
