    “Being mean or telling the truth is indistinguishable to far too many people.” —Mike Thompson on X Woke liberalism is exactly what Christopher Lasch predicted in The Revolt of the Elites, published in 1995 the year after his early death at 61. Lasch saw how the juvenile idealism of Boomer hippiedom would slide into the narcissistic, sado-masochistic degeneracy of open borders, drag queen story hours, Covid-19 despotism, DEI racism, showbiz Satanism, censorship, forever wars, and now, the legal insurrection of lawfare. In doing so, Lasch also predicted the “mass formation psychosis” described by Belgian psychologist Mattias Desmet, spawned by a...
  • Why Did Israel Fail on October 7?

    Israel didn’t fail on October 7th because it was weak. It failed because it assumed its enemies come from the same moral universe. Dan Schueftan, Israeli academic, political analyst and Middle East security expert, breaks down the real reason Israel was blindsided: “Israelis believed if life in Gaza got better, the attacks would stop. But October 7th happened because life got better. Israelis keep thinking they’re a version of them. They’re not. They’ve been raised for 100 years to believe they have the right to destroy Israel.” This is the video to understand how Israel got here—and what must change....
  • Kamala Surrogate On CNN Claims Harris Is 'Committed To The Values' of Muslim Voters

    That Kamala Harris. She's sure got a lot of "values." We're all familiar with her paradoxical claim that despite having flip-flopped on many positions—including her previous adamant desire to ban fracking and decriminalize illegal border crossings—her "values haven't changed." Appearing on Sunday's CNN State of the Union, Harris surrogate Mark Kelly, a Dem senator from Arizona, professed Kamala's allegiance to the "values" of two disparate electoral groups. Discussing Harris' poor polling among Latino voters in Arizona, Kelly told host Dana Bash that "Harrison-Walz are committed to their values." Earlier in the show, Bash mentioned that Kelly was speaking from Dearborn,...

    Five Big Lies at the DNC Convention “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron” (1Tim 4:1-2) If Kamala should pull off a win in November, it will be the first time in history someone was elected on feelings, instead of their record.

    I don't see why there seems to be so much disruption and confusion over natural communication problems due to aging related cognitive decline. This is not an occasion for shock and dismay. Father time is doing his natural work. Bright smiles and positive loving messages for the family are in order. Our finest educators and scientists continued in their roles as anchors of their institutions and bright stars in in the faculty of premier universities for many years after their years of productivity. Give Joe Biden a party, a good-sounding title (One is mentioned in the title) and let's move...

    San Francisco Mayor London Breed has announced the San Francisco Reproductive Freedom Act, a ballot measure that would prevent city funds from being used to cooperate with out-of-state abortion prosecutions and create a fund to help people access abortions. It would also target pregnancy resource centers (PRCs), limiting their funding, and requiring signage for PRCs that state they do not commit abortions. Breed made her announcement during a press conference held at a local Planned Parenthood abortion business. In addition to the above objectives, she also signaled her intent to make it easier for abortion facilities to open in San...

    A recent Pew Research Center poll highlighted the stark difference of opinion former President Donald Trump’s supporters and and those of President Joe Biden have on issues related to marriage and family.The poll, released June 6, asked questions on topics such as whether “society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority” and the comfort level respondents had “with women not taking their husbands’ last names when they get married.”Nearly 60 percent of Trump supporters — and 54 percent of his female supporters — said that society is better off when it prioritizes marriage and family,...

    Just as 9/11 and the space shuttle disasters showed failures at the relevant agencies, the 10/7 pogrom has exposed a failure of leadership at all levels of government and society.Derek Hunter often writes to the effect that when one thinks that Democrats could not go any lower, they whip out their shovels and keep digging deeper and deeper. I was reminded of his insight when I saw a headline this morning. It’s not enough that the US chose not to send ammunition to Israel during a hot war. It was still not enough to threaten not to send certain critical...

    Former Polish President Lech Wałęsa hailed his friendship with Ronald Reagan during their respective administrations, claiming that Poland owes Reagan "our freedom." "You may consider this statement extremely lofty, yet it does not sound lofty to those who regained liberty after half a century," Wałęsa, 80, told Fox News Digital on the anniversary of Reagan’s birth. "Some politicians defend values not because they find it profitable but because those politicians are convinced that there are certain values that are worth living for, and that there are values that are worth giving life for," Wałęsa said. "Only such politicians are really...

    Nearly a third of Christians in the U.S. have considered switching banks in the last year due to conflicts with their values and other factors, according to a new survey.The research conducted by the faith-based Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) in San Dimas, California, found as Christians are being increasingly discriminated against by major banks, more are choosing to bank with companies that reflect their most deeply-held beliefs and values.In its survey of more than 1,300 professed Christians, over 30% of respondents said they thought about taking their banking business elsewhere in the past year in response to several reports...

    Many leading Republicans and conservatives want someone other than Donald Trump to run for President in 2024. But this judgment requires an assessment of Trump’s vices and virtues in the context of our current political and cultural circumstances, as well as an assessment of other prospective Republican presidential candidates. Tom Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute, explains Trump's Virtues.

    On September 5, our Brandon Morse wrote about Disney’s rapidly disintegrating reputation in the public eye in general and the conservative eye in particular. He noted how the company’s actions firmly indicate it doesn’t care and is unlikely to stop its downward slide anytime soon, if ever. While I agree with many of his points, one not covered warrants mention. You see, Disney doesn’t hate solely conservatives and conservative values. It hates its most loyal customers as well. Two examples. The first involves Disney’s theme parks, which to date have escaped the dramatic business fall-off the company’s woke movies and...

    At the heart of America’s political and cultural turmoil is a crisis of trust. In the space of a generation, the people’s confidence in their leaders and their most important institutions to do the right thing has collapsed. The federal government, big business, the media, education, science and medicine, technology, religious institutions, law enforcement and others have seen a precipitous decline. As public faith in the performance, credibility and integrity of these institutions has collapsed, so too has mutual trust—the social glue that holds the country together. Americans have become suspicious of one another, distrusting their fellow citizens as much...
  • Biden fails crisis management in Hawaii; DeSantis shines in Florida

    Washington Times ^ | September 9, 2023 | Michael McKenna
    One legitimate measurement of the readiness and capability of a candidate to be president is how he or she responds to a crisis. In a moment of crisis, the core of human beings is on display. Some people wither; others shine. Either way, it is always a peek into the foundation of the person — his or her value system. We had two examples of this recently, as both President Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had the opportunity to respond to crises, in the wake of the devastating fire on Maui and Hurricane Idalia, respectively. How did they do?...

    “In the eight years that my father was President of the United States I never once sat in the room with business associates and called him on the phone. If I had, the Democrats would have skewered me.” When I posted that tweet the other day, it got a huge response. As we know from last week’s big whistleblower news, over the course of 10 years — while Joe Biden was vice president and when he was out of power — Hunter Biden put his father on speakerphone at least 20 times during meetings he was having with foreign business...

    Accelerating the great sortingAmerica has a serious problem. Healthy political bodies must share a common moral and cultural foundation if they are to work for the good of their nation. This does not mean everyone has to think in lockstep, but there must be at least some shared tradition, some basic moral language with which the population can frame their understanding of political issues. This becomes especially true if the state expands its reach by assuming duties that once belonged to other social spheres like those of the family, local community, or church. When the state is deciding whether parents...

    I'm just frustrated. I have 2 older daughters in their 30's. I can't talk to them about any current topic. Everything I say triggers them. Today I got in a fuss defending the gallantry of Southern soldiers. Then I got in a fuss about being a culturist because I believe a substantial portion of the Black underclass in 5 times more likely to commit crimes and murder than other groups. 30 people a week shot in Chicago or New Orleans is OK but DeSantis is a racist. I just said I never see race in a competent individual. I just...

    Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida all but declared his presidential candidacy on Thursday afternoon, telling donors and supporters on a call that only three “credible” candidates were in the race and that only he would be able to win both the Republican primary and the general election. “You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing,” Mr. DeSantis told donors on the call, organized by the super PAC supporting him, Never Back Down. “Biden, Trump and me. And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president — Biden and...

    So this was fun. As I’m responding to a post about traditional family values and the roles of women and men in a relationship. I’ll tip my hat here and say that I provided for a wife and 5 kids, it’s doable, but can be challenging. Face book deleted my comment before I could post it. I guess being an old school man is no longer allowed in the “land of the free”. God forbid that you explain what your helpmate is doing when you are working 80 hours a week, it’s called being a mom. Probably the most important...
