"U.S. military launches coordinated strikes against American TV host."

 Don Surber

. . . "Unless Tucker Carlson (the host in question) made a factual error, the Pentagon press secretary should shut his trap. 

"But our military is politicized and part of this anti-American cabal of Washington politicians, the media, the deep state, and corporate America that are hellbent on destroying everything that made America great.

"We the people are allowed to call out the American military -- indeed, the entire government -- without fear of being attacked.

"The spokesman in question, retired Admiral John Kirby, is a former CNN commentator, which raises questions of ethics." . . .

‘We Are Not Training’ For The Super Bowl: Tucker Carlson Guest Slams ‘PC Demands’ In US Military  "Retired U.S. Army Col. Doug MagGregor said Monday that America’s military is so focused on political correctness that it’s no longer training for “the Super Bowl” like other countries." . . ."Macgregor said this has created “a readiness to accommodate PC demands from policymakers who frankly have a cocktail level of familiarity with real war when otherwise senior officers would put up much more serious resistance … I think these policies are detrimental in most cases and probably divisive.”

"He suggested the result of bringing these policies into a war would be “a real surprise under the circumstances. Many of the assumptions we’re making about what will work or won’t work — they will be destroyed.”

"Macgregor said political correctness and reduced training standards “have had a profoundly negative impact on the American military, particularly on the combat forces that have had to go through these long occupations, long deployments, without clear missions and obtainable objections.' ”

Most American Schools Are Damaging Your Child

 Dennis Prager

No matter how much information accumulates about the perversion of U.S. schooling, parents continue to take risks with their children they would never take in any other sphere. 

"I have been telling parents for decades that sending a child to almost any college is playing Russian roulette with his or her values.

"But it is a different version of Russian roulette. In the traditional version, only one of the gun’s six chambers contains a bullet. In the college version of Russian roulette, five of the six chambers contain a bullet. If your child attends almost any university in America (or Canada or anywhere else in the English-speaking world), the odds are that your child’s decency, intellectual acuity, faculty of reason, character, and moral compass will be damaged, perhaps permanently.

"The worse news is that sending your child to almost any elementary school or high school—public or private—is fast becoming equally toxic. More and more schools are being taken r by left-wing ideologues and by nonideologues who lack the courage to confront the ideologues.

"Once infected with leftism, these schools teach children to hate reason, tradition, America, Christianity, whites, excellence, freedom, and masculinity.

"To cite one example, thanks to a $1 million grant from Bill Gates through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Oregon Education Department has announced that teaching there is “one right answer” in math—yes, in math—is an expression of white supremacy. Why, then, would an Oregon parent who cares about his child’s mind send that child to an Oregon school?

"In addition to perverting education, teachers and their unions have exhibited a contempt for children that has taken even conservatives by surprise." . . . More here... 

The Sovietization of the American Press

The transformation from phony "objectivity" to open one-party orthodoxy hasn't been an improvement

TK News

"I collect Soviet newspapers. Years ago, I used to travel to Moscow’s Izmailovsky flea market every few weeks, hooking up with a dealer who crisscrossed the country digging up front pages from the Cold War era. I have Izvestia’s celebration of Gagarin’s flight, a Pravda account of a 1938 show trial, even an ancient copy of Ogonyek with Trotsky on the cover that someone must have taken a risk to keep.

"These relics, with dramatic block fonts and red highlights, are cool pieces of history. Not so cool: the writing! Soviet newspapers were wrought with such anvil shamelessness that it’s difficult to imagine anyone ever read them without laughing. A good Soviet could write almost any Pravda headline in advance. What else but “A Mighty Demonstration of the Union of the Party and the People” fit the day after Supreme Soviet elections? What news could come from the Spanish civil war but “Success of the Republican Fleet?” Who could earn an obit headline but a “Faithful Son of the Party”?

"Reality in Soviet news was 100% binary, with all people either heroes or villains, and the villains all in league with one another (an SR was no better than a fascist or a “Right-Trotskyite Bandit,” a kind of proto-horseshoe theory). Other ideas were not represented, except to be attacked and deconstructed. Also, since anything good was all good, politicians were not described as people at all but paragons of limitless virtue — 95% of most issues of Pravda or Izvestia were just names of party leaders surrounded by lists of applause-words, like “glittering,” “full-hearted,” “wise,” “mighty,” “courageous,” “in complete moral-political union with the people,” etc.

"Some of the headlines in the U.S. press lately sound suspiciously like this kind of work:" . . .

Full article, followed by this next: No, you're not imagining the media's Pravda-ization  . . . "For Taibbi, the apex of the hagiography that is every major newspaper article today is the Washington Post's recent claim that comedians are finding it impossible to joke about Biden.  You may recall, from the Obama era that the media claimed that it was impossible to parity Obama because he was simply too cool.  According to Richard Zoglin, Biden cannot be parodied, not because he is too cool, but because he is too normal.  His voice, insists Zoglin, is "devoid of obvious quirks," and his manner too "muted and self-effacing" to give comics anything to work with.  Taibbi's response to these risible statements is the following video:

Years ago, I read an old cartoon showing a couple at the breakfast table.  The woman says, "This article says don't believe everything you read."  Her husband replies, "Don't believe it."  That husband represents half the American public.  They've been given proof repeatedly that the media are lying, but they refuse to accept that fact and, instead, continue to believe the garbage they spew.  Now that this garbage has risen to the level of Soviet-style hagiography of a demented old man, America is in a deep dive and needs to pull out soon before it crashes.

Lawsuit alleges Trump inflicted emotional distress on Swalwell, a House Democratic impeachment manager

Fox News  Rep. Eric Swalwell, one of the House impeachment managers, filed a lawsuit against former President Trump saying he must be held financially responsible for destruction on Jan. 6 when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol.

"The California Democrat on Friday filed a 65-page lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., against Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and GOP Rep. Mo Brooks accusing them of inciting the Jan. 6 riot and demanding they be held responsible in court for the suffering that followed. 

" 'The Defendants assembled, inflamed and incited the mob, and as such are wholly responsible for the injury and destruction that followed," Swalwell said in a statement about the lawsuit." . . .

" Swalwell's lawsuit alleges nine counts against Trump and the others ranging from conspiracy to violate civil rights to intentional infliction of emotional distress on Swalwell. 

"The lawsuit doesn't specify the amount of money and punitive damages Swalwell is seeking. He is demanding a jury trial."   . . . 

'The View': Meghan McCain Says Democrats Send 'Hypocritical' Message by Not Booting Cuomo

MSN  "On Monday's episode of "The View," Meghan McCain pointed out that not pushing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign after being called out for multiple sexual abuse scandals is a '"very murky, nebulous, ugly, hypocritical message for Democrats to be putting out."

" 'I just want someone to show a flash image of the images of people talking about Brett Kavanaugh and the images of people talking about Andrew Cuomo. It's a very weird message to go from 'Believe all women, one accusation is enough, to be put in jail and lose your job,' to 'Oh, if his politics are in the right way, you can grope whoever you want because gun control is more important,'" McCain said. "I think that if you're going to hold him not accountable, then it doesn't matter, that he should stay in office because he's a Democrat and democratic policies are more important than sexually assaulting women, that's a very dangerous road for Democrats to go down.""McCain, who has been outspoken about her feelings regarding Cuomo on more than one occasion, referenced his publicized cover-up in nursing home deaths in the early days of COVID-19 in her response."
