Abolish high school? Wait! What?

High school can be a terrifying experience! TD

Christopher Chantrill  . . . "Now let us talk about something important.  It's an article sent to me by a friend about the descent into Hell of a shy young Gen Z girl from Canada.  When she got to high school, she became terrorized by the "sluts" and was ignored by the boys.  So began a descent into depression and intervention by counselors and social workers that ended when they forced her to go to the high school prom.  She plucked up her courage and asked – a girl.  Go read the whole thing: it is heartbreaking.

"The piece confirmed me in three notions.  You may not agree.

"First of all, we should Abolish High School.  It has been obvious for decades that public high schools encourage the worst atavisms of the tribe.  It is one reason why I demand that we repeal the prohibition against child labor.  Every kid over 12 should have a job unless he has a note from his parents.  Oh, so you think that kids would be terrorized by the Chick-fil-A manager?  Read this report on child labor from 1913 by schools inspector Helen Todd.  The kids preferred working to going to school because they were treated better at work.

"This backs up my notion that the workplace is the best place to socialize people into becoming productive members of society.  The whole point of social animals is that you help yourself by helping others, and that is what business is all about."

One photo from Israel the liberal media don't want you to see

The photo shows a young woman on the front lines defending her country.  This kind of patriotism is something never highlighted in the American media.  Can you imagine if every 18-year-old American girl served a year in the military instead of spending four years being brainwashed by "women's studies" to hate men?

Ed Straker  "Israel is under attack, as always, this time for passing a law saying Israel is a Jewish state.  As if it hadn't been already.  Liberals (among them, shamefully, some Jews) worry for the Arab population of Israel, as if their lives in Israel weren't 1,000% better than the lives of Arabs in any other Arab nations, who are slaughtering each other by the hundreds of thousands.

"Now Israel, which has been providing Syrian civilians with medical care for years during the civil war there, has helped several hundred civil defense workers escape from the Assad regime in an act of pure goodwill to its Arab neighbors.

In a predawn operation on Sunday, the Israeli military's 210th Bashan Division oversaw the transfer of 422 Syrians from the "White Helmets" rescue organization and their families from the Syrian Golan Heights through Israel to Jordan.

"The families crossed [the fence], at first apprehensively, but once they reached the border, their eyes twinkled from happiness with the knowledge that they'd gotten their lives back.  I am happy to be an officer in an army and in a country that is carrying out this mission and expressing the values of humaneness and compassion," [a] lieutenant colonel said.

"This is the nature of our work and this is a significant moment like no other," he added.

In recent years, Israel has been engaged in a massive multi-faceted humanitarian relief operation to keep thousands of Syrians along the border from starving or falling ill due to the lack of food and basic medical care.  . . . Full article here.

IDF photo, you say? Hamas photos like to show celebrations over Israeli families hacked to death by Muslim "soldiers".

Lib media try to make Liz Warren the fresh young face for 2020

An NBC poll says seventy percent of Democrats want to see a fresh face to run for president in 2020. That’s easy. Just send Biden, Bernie and Hillary to Beverly Hills for two weeks and we’ll send them back to Washington with faces so fresh they’ll look like their Vietnam War protest photos. Comedian Argus Hamilton

90 Miles From Tyranny

Ed Straker  "Is [People will die!] Elizabeth Warren having an extramarital affair with New York Magazine?  I ask only because NYM just published a 7,200-word opus that reads like a deranged love letter to the American Native senator from Massachusetts, seeking to turn an old, wrinkled leftist with even older, more wrinkled leftist ideas into the fresh young face for America in 2020.

"So you don't have to read the article for yourself, I have summarized the lowlights:

"1. The article opens with a giant photo of Elizabeth Warren's geriatric fist raised proudly into the air.  Every tendon and ligament is tautly on display.

"2. As if realizing that age (currently 69) could be a vulnerability to Warren, the article shows her running, partially in midair, as if this were a photo shoot for the pilot of The Bionic Woman: 40 Years Later.

There she was, jogging 75 yards down a hill in open-toed mules, her aqua cardigan flying behind her.  Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren is in constant motion.  She often takes stages at a run, zigzagging around the edges of crowds, waving and giving high fives like Bruce Springsteen.  Speaking to groups of supporters, she rocks on her feet, or rises to her tiptoes, with feeling[.] ... She'll beat her chest for emphasis[.] ... One afternoon in Nevada ... she kicked her feet out in front of her with such force that I feared she'd tip over backward.

"It's laid on so thick that it sounds as if Warren is running for the Olympics, not the presidency.

"3. Warren called for replacing ICE with something that reflects "our morality."  Apparently, our morality doesn't include having a border or stopping illegal aliens, human-traffickers, or drug-traffickers.

"4. The article notes that Warren used to be considered "untenably far left," but that is now the mainstream of the Democratic Party.  That's 100% correct." . . .

Hillary Couldn't Remember Benghazi Ambassador's Name

As U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other personnel lay dead and America's diplomatic outpost there lay in smoldering ruins, Clinton asked her three closest aides for advice about how to announce the death of 'Chris Smith.'

Daniel John Sobieski  "Former ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, an Obama appointee whose name popped up on the target list of Vladimir Putin in response to the meaningless Mueller indictment of 12 Russian spies, has tweeted out a "thank you" to former secretary of state Hillary Clinton for her "defense" of him.  He is luckier than Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was unavailable for comment, since Hillary Clinton abandoned him in Benghazi along with Ty Woods, Sean Smith, and Glen Dougherty, and who was murdered in a terrorist attack Hillary and the entire Obama administration blamed on a video." . . . 

"Not amused was Kris Paronto, who fought with two of his colleagues on the roof of the CIA annex in Benghazi to save their lives and those of the other Americans under assault that night.  Paronto tweeted in response:

Are you f'n kidding me @HillaryClinton ?!!! You left Ambassador Stevens and us to die in Benghazi then spewed lie after lie to the family members of my dead teammates and to the world to cover it up and now you have the nerve to talk about defending diplomats?! You are disgusting!

"Patricia Smith, mother of Sean Smith. would agree with that assessment.  Investor's Business Daily reported the gripping 2013 testimony of Patricia Smith before Rep. Darrell Issa's House Oversight Committee:":
2013: Dems Leave Room As Benghazi Mom Says Obama, Hillary Lie

. . . Phony scandals don't produce body bags. Mrs. Smith testified how President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary Clinton, among other top administration officials, approached her at the casket ceremony when her son's body was returned to the U.S."Every one of them came up to me, gave me a big hug, and I asked them, 'What happened, please tell me?' And every one of them said it was the video. And we all know that it wasn't the video. Even at that time they knew it wasn't the video. So they all lied to me." . . . Opening statements of Woods and Smith

Yet Democrats love these three people, and we are supposed to yearn for them to run this nation once more. It is not just a strong political difference between many of us and Democrat supporters of Hillary; it is that we hold her and her followers in contempt. 
Picture listening to President Hillary giving a State of the Union or an Oval Office address. Americans would have to always keep in mind, as William Safire recognized back in 1996, that Hillary Clinton is "a congenital liar".

For Democrats, there is left, and then there is LEFT!

Another excuse for Hillary's 2016 loss: Democrats fear Sanders may undermine efforts to beat Trump

"But after we win in 2018, it will be leftward HO!"

2016: "Democratic Party leaders are upping the pressure on Bernie Sanders to drop his presidential campaign, alarmed that his continued presence is undermining efforts to beat the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, and again win the White House.

“ 'I don’t think they think of the downside of this,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a supporter of front-runner Hillary Clinton and broker of the post-primary peace between Clinton and then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in 2008." . . .

Moderate Democrats push back against 'wild-eyed' leftward lurch of the party

 A group of moderate Democratic lawmakers sounded the alarm Thursday over the party's shift to the left, saying the embrace of ultra-liberal policies could endanger their efforts to capture Congress in the November midterm elections and the White House in 2020.

Chris Coons

“The next two years is just a race to offer increasingly unrealistic proposals, to rally just those who are already with us,” Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware, told a gathering of like-minded centrists at a strategy session in Washington. But with a far-left agenda, Coons warned, “it’ll be difficult for us to make a credible case that we should be allowed to govern again and easier and easier to mock and marginalize us.” 

Most Liberal House Dem Barbara Lee Wants to Replace Crowley as Caucus Leader
"Liberal"? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. TD

. . . "Lee, an antiwar member of the House Progressive Caucus whose Bay Area district includes Berkeley*, was the only member of Congress to vote against retaliatory action after al-Qaeda struck the United States on 9/11. “As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore," she said at the time.

"Lee was rated the most liberal member of the House in GovTrack's 2017 ideology rankings. Crowley fell in the middle of the House Dems' ranking.

"In a letter to colleagues today, Lee stressed that "the strength of our caucus lies in our diversity of experiences and ideas.' " . . .

* That would be on the California coast, in case you didn't know.

The battle cry of leftists:

Hillary's neckwear is always a topic of speculation, especially now

Granted it does look like that and one wonders what else it could be. But why wear it in the daytime when Hillary is surrounded by her people?  Perhaps at night, but during the day she could take it off. TD

American Mirror  "She’s fallen before and she’s needed help getting up.

"Maybe that’s why Hillary Clinton appeared to be wearing a Life Alert emergency button necklace during her recent appearance in New York City.

"Twitter user @ComfortablySmug posted a photo of Clinton posing with a fan while she was in Central Park for the Ozy Fest:" . . .

The Twitter user then noted the necklace looked very similar to the Life Alert emergency device made famous for the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” commercials:

'Gender Neutral Parenting' Is Child Abuse

You could have Child Protective Services knocking on your door, especially in low income neighborhoods, if you so much as spank your child. Yet these people are turning their kids into social experiments, hiding essential biological truths from them, depriving them of identity, force feeding them leftist gender theories, and fostering mental disorders in their minds, and rather than a visit from CPS they get a profile on NBC.

Daily Wire

"NBC reports on a parenting trend with a name as stupid as the thing itself: "theybies." This is the designation certain upper-class, white, liberal parents have given to their children, whom they have decided to raise without "gender labels."

"The NBC article focuses on Nate and Julia Sharpe, parents of Zyler and Kadyn Sharpe. The biological sex of Zyler and Kadyn has been hidden from everyone, including Zyler and Kadyn themselves. They are aware of their own body parts, but they have not been told what those parts mean. They do not know their own identities. Nate and Julia will keep that secret under lock and key until the children are old enough to decide for themselves. They will reach this magical age sometime around four or five, apparently. They will not yet have reached the age where they are old enough to make themselves a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but they will be old enough to decide their own gender.

"Of course, we run into some logical problems here. There are approximately 6,782 logical problems, actually, but let's mention just a few: If biological sex is meaningless and gender is a social construct, what does it mean to "choose" a gender? You just said gender is something arbitrary and invented. If a boy chooses to be a girl based on his affinity for girly things, has he not made this decision based on the very construct that you are trying to abolish? And if he makes the decision based on nothing at all, then hasn't the word "girl" just become another word for "boy"? If "girl" and "boy" have no meaning then you cannot choose to be one or the other. If they do have meaning, then the choice must be based on something objective. You can't have it both ways." . . .  Matt Walsh

Teen Tyrant David Hogg Threatens President Trump: ‘You Will Suffer Consequences Few Have Ever Suffered’

Must need his publicity fix. That look of adoration on the faces of liberal celebrities can be addictive. TD

Hogg’s threat mimicked Trump’s warning to Iran Sunday night after Iran threatened the U.S. with war.

The Gateway Pundit  Hogg, an 18-year-old graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School in Parkland, Florida, rose to prominence as a student gun control activist in the days after the February 14 mass shooting at the school has since revealed himself to be a bullying social justice warrior with delusions of grandeur. Hogg has tried to bully companies like FedEx, Florida’s tourist industry, the Fox News Channel and others with boycotts for offending him and not bending to his will.

President Trump, on the other hand, is standing up to an Iranian regime that has declared “Death to America!” and has embarked on a nuclear weapons program to fulfill their pledge.

"Trump posted to Twitter late Sunday night a blunt riposte to Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani warning to him that, “war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”

“To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!' ” . . .

LGBTQ Totalitarianism in Boston: The Destruction of the St. Patrick's Day Parade

Saint Patrick's Day was instituted to commemorate the Apostle who brought the Catholic Faith to Ireland.  It is impossible to honor Saint Patrick while showcasing those who not only repudiate the moral code of Saint Patrick's religion, but who castigate that code as bigotry, prejudice, hatred and homophobia.

Amy Contrada  "In 1995, a remarkable 9-0 ruling was handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court.  A Catholic veterans' group, organizers of the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in South Boston, were vindicated in their refusal to allow a homosexual activist group to march in their parade.  The Court confirmed that the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council was protected by the First Amendment and could reject a group if it "impart[ed] a message that the [parade] organizers do not wish to convey."

"Twenty-three years later, orthodox Boston Irish Catholics will no longer have the prominent public voice on St. Patrick's Day.  They've been elbowed out by secular celebrants of disordered sexuality.

"South Boston has fallen.  LGBTQ radicals have just seized complete control of the St. Patrick's Day Parade, with the director of a front group, OUTVETS, put in charge of the event.

"The shocking evolution of the parade from a celebration of Irish Catholic heritage to an overtly LGBTQ event should be a warning to those who advocate "inclusion" within their institutions.  The infusion of LGBTQ sexuality will inevitably upend tried and true traditions and moral standards.  We see this happening most clearly in our schools and churches." . . .

. . . 

"The final capitulation came in 2017.  Mayor Walsh was determined to wipe out any glimmer of resistance to sexual radicals' participation.  The Veterans Council's objection to LGBT symbols had to be overcome.  The mayor continued to strong-arm the parade organization.  Powerful politicians and corporate sponsors threatened to withhold support.

"Worse, Antifa-style riots were being planned to disrupt the 2017 parade if LGBTQ groups were not given full participation.  No mainstream outlet reportedon those threats of violence." . . .

The demise of Boston's St. Patrick's Day Parade is just one example of how allowing LGBTQ individuals to openly serve in the U.S. military has opened doors for their activist interference in other social realms.  If LGBTQ participation in the military is recognized as legitimate, who can refuse to recognize their inclusion in other settings?

Woman Born In Hitler’s Germany Tells Liberals They Remind Her Of Nazis

The People’s Voice

. . . Inga Andrews said:

“What is going on in this country is giving me chills. Trump is not like Hitler. Just because a leader wants order doesn’t mean they’re like a dictator.

“What reminds me more of Hitler than anything else isn’t Trump, it’s the destruction of freedom of speech on the college campuses — the agendas fueled by the professors.

“That’s how Hitler started, he pulled in the youth to miseducate them, to brainwash them, it’s happening today.”

“I see what is happening here reflecting some of the things we saw in Germany, and it’s terrifying. It’s sad. But it’s not because of Trump. It’s because of poor education.

“Trump is not like Hitler. The theory that he is is propaganda. Yes, I lived through some of Nazi Germany, but all you have to do is read some books about that period to see how wrong that theory is.”

"Andrews drove home her point further for the younger generation:

“It saddens me that we are teaching garbage in the schools and in the college. We don’t teach history anymore. History repeats itself over and over. . . .

A Ghastly and Tasteless Escalation of Tensions…With Ourselves

Donald Trump promises and is delivering as much of a change as Roosevelt and Reagan to a political system at least as decrepit and more corrupt than those earlier presidents inherited, but he does not have a remotely emollient public personality and and takes no trouble to reduce his vulnerability enemies.

Conrad Black

"The response to the Helsinki meeting has been so extreme on all sides that questions about the maturity, stability, and intelligence of the entire American political community are incited and require some act of faith to deal with positively. Earlier U.S. presidents created shock waves as great as these but managed them better.

"The Trump phenomenon and his assault on the political establishment were bound to cause immense convulsions.

"In the terrible economic crisis of the 1930s, Franklin D. Roosevelt swept out the stable and, while he riled many, his suave and mellifluous patrician manner and demiurgic political dexterity kept the country on an even political keel out of the Great Depression and through World War II. The Northeastern establishment that John F. Kennedy led to Vietnam and that induced Lyndon Johnson to plunge into that conflict, followed by the Watergate debacle, the abandonment of Indochina to the Communists, and the over-conscientious irresolution of the Carter presidency, left Washington an open city for Ronald Reagan and his optimistic Californians, like George Shultz and Caspar Weinberger. Again, the president’s almost hypnotic talents as a public speaker and his immense personal and public charm, assured that profound changes could be assimilated without excessive strain on the country’s political fabric." . . .

Gillibrand: Democrats Should Immediately Abolish ICE Once They Take Back Congress

Daily Caller  "Democrats should immediately move to abolish the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if they regain majorities in Congress, Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said on Sunday.

“ 'So when we flip the House and flip the Senate, I think the first thing we should do is deal with the children who have been separated from their families at the border. I think we should get rid of ICE,” Gillibrand said at the New York City festival OZY Fest, where she shared a stage with left-wing actress Chelsea Handler." . . .
