From Ceuta to Cuba to Tehran — and increasingly the American left — the same destructive ideas keep proving that reality is no match for ideological zeal.
I’m looking around the world right now, and what I see isn’t all bad. In fact, there are lots of indications of positive things happening or about to happen. What strikes me, though, in seeing the hopeful signs, is the contrast between those and the, er… other things going on in the world.
For example, the Moorish invasion of the Spanish town of Ceuta.
Much of the reporting, particularly on social media, that you’ve seen is overhyped and factually shaky. There was indeed a massive wave of migrants from Morocco into that North African town, which briefly doubled its population of 85,000. The migrants were almost exclusively male; most were Moroccans — unemployment in Morocco is as high as 29 percent in some parts of the country — and the remainder seems to be largely sub-Saharan Africans. That wave generated some utterly appalling video, to be sure, though the accusations made against the Spanish government, namely that it invited the wave and seeks to profit politically by it, appear not to be accurate. (RELATED: I’m a Spanish Taxpayer. This Is Why the West Doesn’t Need to Reward Illegal Immigrants.)
Pedro Sánchez, the socialist president of that country, actually sent in the army to repel that invasion, and as of Monday it seems that all but 3,000-5,000 of the migrants had been returned to Morocco. None have made it across the Strait of Gibraltar to the Iberian mainland.

What BS.
We’ve done that here in Commiefornia for the last 30 plus years and everything’s fine. 🙄
Once you deny reality, and insist you were really correct, the mistakes keep piling up.
It ends with catastrophe, but the catastrophe can take a long time.
That is Cuba. Venezuela took less time because President Trump identified and took out a key leader.

“You Simply Cannot Give Power to Lunatics”
Actually, we have enough of our own Lunitics (I call them ‘purists’) with the idea being if we hand over power to today’s Dems, the country will see just how bad they are and then simply vote them out of office.
No doubt Russian thought similar in 1917...and they were right - but it took 74 YEARS.
