LogocideOne of the distinguishing features of authoritarian societies is the language becomes lifeless and dull. At the same time, the public space is filled with the language of the authoritarian ruling system. The people at the top give long arid speeches and their propaganda organs fill the spaces in between with official noise. Fidel Castro would give speeches that lasted half a day. Stalin would deliver long harangues to the Party Congress for no other reason than to fill the room with words. In America, this started to creep in after the Cold War. Bill Clinton would give long speeches...

I realize this guy had some personal problems. But, this song, recorded almost 50 years ago seems really prophetic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD7YODSdmDo

Disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s approach to the pandemic was largely fueled by politics and preserving his own ego rather than actual science, according to a new report. Former state health officials described the Cuomo administration as a "frantic" environment where public health experts "were not just overruled, but constantly responding to Cuomo's ‘ridiculous demands’ that were expected to take precedence," Politico reported Friday.

U.S.—New documents recently uncovered by Smithsonian historians confirmed that the group of pilgrims and Indians who gathered for the first Thanksgiving argued vehemently about politics throughout the course of the meal. The newly discovered journal seems to indicate that just after giving thanks for the meal, one Pilgrim from England drank too much mead and began to rant about “making the colonies great again,” kicking off several hours of hostile glances, passive-aggressive remarks, and flat-out argumentation. “Apparently, Uncle Charles was asked to eat at the kids’ table after a tirade about how real patriots need to support King James I,...

Most Americans are not in the mood discuss politics at the Thanksgiving dinner table this year, a Quinnipiac Poll released this week found. “If you are visiting with family or friends this Thanksgiving, are you looking forward to discussing politics, or are you hoping to avoid discussing politics?” the survey asked.

Growing up in a in a university town, I was exposed to a wide range of cultures. As faculty and graduate students came and went, there was a constant revolving door of people passing through. At the end of elementary school, a new student arrived in my class, her name was Nahla, and she was from Egypt. As a son of an Israeli father, I will never forget the discomfort that I felt being around her. I had nothing against her personally, and in fact recall resisting liking her. I understood from my much earlier years that Israel and Egypt...

On Friday, Dr. Anthony Fauci finally admitted the chilling truth about the COVID-19 vaccines, saying that they did not work as advertised and that Americans are in danger due to their waning immunity. Fauci told The New York Times that officials are starting to see some waning immunity against both infection and hospitalization several months after the initial vaccination. He then cited data from Israel, which he said tends to be about a month to a month and a half ahead of us in terms of the outbreak. “They are seeing a waning of immunity not only against infection but...

So I see these tweets and it sure seems like Libs are very confident they are doing the right thing, what am I missing? How can the Right be so convinced that what the left is doing it so wrong.

"Love is love." "Science is science." Homes and offices in Washington, D.C. must display every politically correct lawn sign there is. Could it be these signs give a sense of belonging, the kind that used to be provided by organized religion? And what does "Love is love" and "Science is science" really mean? This was the gist of remarks made by Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez at a recent conference in Madrid. He was asked to speak about some of the movements that seem to be playing a role that religion might otherwise do -- "social justice," "wokeness," "identity politics,"...

Rapper Cuddy Camaro appeared to threaten President Joe Biden on a recently released song. On the track “FJB,” the young rapper appears to threaten to shoot Biden with a “choppa” if POTUS “touch another kid.” The lyrics are as follows:

NEW YORK (WABC) -- NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa put his campaign on hold Friday to check himself into a hospital after being hit by a cab... ...Sliwa got up and did his radio show. Afterwards he went to Lenox Hill Hospital to be checked out. It turns out he suffered a fractured right arm but is expected to be released from the hospital later in the evening. The taxi did not stop but Sliwa didn't consider the incident a hit and run....

After watching the news, the ships anchored in the Pacific, the empty grocery shelves, the lazy people that would rather stay home and live off of my tax dollars instead of getting a job, forcing folks that have had COVID get a shot that MAY damage them years from now, gasoline that is over $1.30 more than it was last summer, promoting 227,000 different genders, teaching gay pride in our elementary schools, turning the United States of America into the United Socialist America, giving special status to illegal aliens while forcing hard working Americans (what few of us are left)...

A controversial new rap song mocking the leader of the free world has rocketed to the top of the iTunes charts, booting Adele from the No. 1 spot — even after getting banned on YouTube and Instagram for spreading “harmful false information.” “Let’s Go Brandon,” released last week by avowed President Donald Trump supporter Bryson Gray, has been sitting at No. 1 since Sunday, when it refused to fulfill the lyrical request of Adele’s much-hyped comeback single “Easy On Me.” (The Brit pop diva sits at No. 3 behind a random redux of Gray’s hit song by YouTube rapper Loza...

Recently, The Washington Post published a news article, "Biden's critics hurl increasingly vulgar taunts," exploring what the paper says is a growing phenomenon of people around the country directing raw insults at the president. As an example, the paper pointed to resident Joe Biden's recent visit to his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where a woman stood on the street with a sign that said, "F--- Joe Biden." At other times, Biden detractors say simply, "FJB," which stands for you-know-what. The Post also noted the "Let's go Brandon" phenomenon. If anyone doesn't know what that is, it stemmed from an NBC...

Behaviours of the Political Left

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is said to be opposed to the current prescription drug pricing proposals in bills put forth by both the House and Senate, as well as an alternative from House centrists that would limit the drugs subject to Medicare negotiation, according to unnamed sources cited by Politico. Sinema's stance has stalled the passage of the $3.5 trillion spending bill crafted by the Biden administration and fellow Democrats, even though it could jeopardize her own bipartisan infrastructure bill. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington has previously said the majority of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which she chairs,...
