We Are Descending Rapidly into Cultural Madness

To Demi Lovato, I say this: You are not non-binary, existing outside the realm of male or female. You are a confused woman needing help from the inside out. That’s why I will not refer to you as “they.” . . .

Townhall  I do not write this to be cruel or judgmental. And I certainly don’t want to hurt anyone. To the contrary, I want to help. But I do write with a sense of urgency, both to the nation and to confused individuals like Demi Lovato, the latest to identify as non-binary and want to be called “they.”

To the nation, I say this: Wake up! We are losing touch with reality and engaging in dangerous semantic and ideological games. Worse still, we are not providing the real help that struggling people need." . . .

. . . "Before we look at Lovato’s recent announcement, let me repeat what I have said many times before (here, quoting from a 2016 article), if perception is substituted for reality, there is no end to the social madness that follows."

Read the disturbing examples the writer shares with us:  

You do not just have a man being named Woman of the Year.

You do not just have a white woman who identifies as black.

You have a father of 7 who identifies as a 6-year-old girl.

You have a man who identifies as a dog named “Boomer.” . . .

. . .  "That’s why the Urban Dictionary carries an entry on the term “transvaxxite,” defined as, “A person who identifies as having been vaccinated even though they haven't actually been vaccinated.”  . . .

But if I truly respect someone, I will not be a partner to their own delusion. Instead, I will commit to helping them to find their way back to reality, since our biological sex is not subject to our emotions or perceptions. It is what it is.

"So, Barry, Trump Is a 'Sexist Pig'?"

"Having risen from his deathbed to ensure the passage of ObamaCare, Ted Kennedy strikes Obama as worthy of canonization. The road to sainthood, however, must first pass across the bridge at Chappaquiddick. In the #MeToo era, not even progressives get to detour around it."

Jack Cashill  . . . "Said Obama long after he should have spoken out, "Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein. Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status."

“ 'Any man,” that is, except those who are politically useful, and none was more useful to Obama than the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. About Kennedy, Obama cannot gush enough. The Kennedy Obama came to know, he tells us in A Promised Land, was “the closest thing Washington had to a living legend.”

"In his early support of Obama’s 2008 campaign, Kennedy was “was absolutely electric, summoning all the old Camelot magic, batting down the argument of inexperience once used against his brother and now directed toward me.”

"For the record, Ted’s war hero brother, John, had served in Congress twelve years before launching his presidential campaign. Community organizer Obama had served two, and the toughest thing he ever fought was the waves at Waikiki.

"Having risen from his deathbed to ensure the passage of ObamaCare, Ted Kennedy strikes Obama as worthy of canonization. The road to sainthood, however, must first pass across the bridge at Chappaquiddick. In the #MeToo era, not even progressives get to detour around it." . . .

A new book savagely attacks Obama from the left . . . "This coming week, a new book launches a scathing attack on that former secular saint, Barack Obama.

"Since 2008, Barack Obama has been the Democrat party.  He was the president who could do no wrong.  Every political attack against him was discounted as "racism."  He was more charming, more intelligent, more emotionally attuned, more effective, and more just everything good than any man who had ever occupied the White House, including Washington," . . . Jefferson, and Lincoln combined.  (All of them were racists.)" . . .

. . . "There is much more in the Daily Mail article about Obama's destructive arrogance, sense of entitlement, greed, and ego, as well as his obscene rants about Trump.  As far as I'm concerned, the damage he did to the Democrat brand is yet more evidence that America supported Trump, not Biden, in 2020."

Tulsi Slams Chicago Mayor For Her blatant Racism — Will Other Dems Follow Suit?

Please, let us stop the RACIALIZATION of everyone and everything. We are all children of God, and therefore family in the truest sense, no matter our race or ethnicity. This is aloha - love & respect for others. This is what our country & the world need. pic.twitter.com/W8wqqMj1jf    Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 (@TulsiGabbard) April 25, 2021

Clash Daily  . . . Now Mayor Lightweight — *checks notes* ‘Lightfoot’, easy mistake — is beginning an explicitly racist policy of the type that is expressly forbidden by American Law.

"She is now enforcing a racial condition on those who would want to interview her. If you’re not black or brown, you don’t get a 1-on-1 interview.

" 'A race-based system of inclusion based on how black or brown your parents are sounds really bad. Can’t quite put my finger on it. One wonders how much non-white ancestry Lightfoot’s system would require to give a reporter access. Oh wait… that’s where we’ve heard this kind of bigotry before! She’s basically bringing back the one-drop rule!" . . .

Tulsi Gabbard is one of the few Democrats with the integrity to call this out for what it really is. Racist and Anti-American.

DELUSIONAL: Don Lemon Says He’s Not Political And The Democratic Party Is The Only Party ‘Operating In Reality’

K. Walker

Either Don Lemon has zero self-awareness or he’s a liar. Or both.

. . . "Lemon is about as much a journalist as Sean Hannity — they both comment on the news from their own perspective and biases. The difference is that Sean Hannity calls himself a political “commentator” but Don Lemon calls himself a “journalist.”

"Check out this video of Lemon interviewing Joe Biden. This is not a hard-hitting, holding-his-feet-to-the-fire interview, it’s a promotional video.

"Note at the very end Biden says, “thanks, pal,” and shakes Lemon’s hand (after coughing and sticking his finger in his ear because Biden is disgusting.)" . . .

"Lemon let Biden say that there wasn’t even a single, solitary scandal during the Obama administration. No real journalist would let him get away with that crap, especially after Spygate! Don Lemon is an absolute joke, and if he had a hint of self-awareness he’d realize it."

Rep. Cori Bush Praises St. Louis “Palestinian” Activist Infamous for “Pigs In A Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon” Chant

Right of Center by Broc Smith

The U.S. has plunged its relations with Israel into crisis  . . . "Warren’s statement isn’t a demand for justice for Arabs. It is a demand for injustice for Jews. Warren has become the first senior U.S. official to call for Jews to be barred from doing something specifically because they are Jewish since Ulysses Grant barred Jews from entering Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky at the height of the Civil War." . . . Which, incidentally, President Lincoln made Grant cancel.

Israel's Jihad Crisis Is The World's Jihad Crisis  . . .

The Biden Honeymoon is Definitely Over

 But then something at the gas station caught my attention.  As I was filling my car, I noticed that someone had put a sticky note on the gas pump.  It read, “Prices Compliments of Joe Biden.”  When I told a friend about it, he commented that those notes have been appearing around town.  It gave me a good laugh, but in the back of my head, I was wondering if this was something more than normal grumbling about the government.  Was something different this time?

Biden lifts Trump sanctions on Russian pipeline, in exchange for absolutely nothing

"Democrats accused Donald  Trump of  being too soft on Russia’s Vladimir Putin for  suspicious reasons.  Now, it’s Mr. Mask, Joe Biden, who’s going soft on the Russian leader-for-life-likely.

"This week for nothing in return, Biden had his Secretary of State Antony Blinken waive U.S. sanctions on the Russian company  and its leader building a massive undersea gas pipeline from Russia to Germany.

"The pipeline is a huge deal for Russia’s economy and prestige and Putin’s long-range plans to tempt European countries closer to Moscow’s economic orbit and, by extension, weaken NATO.

"President Trump had slapped the sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG and its chief executive officer, Matthias Warnig. He’s a Putin pal, which is how you get ahead in Russia today and, who knows, perhaps some percentage slides back to the Big Guy there too." . . .

The CDC Inadvertently Outs the Mask Cult

 The CDC Inadvertently Outs the Mask Cult   "When the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that fully vaccinated people can safely participate in both indoor and outdoor activities without wearing face masks, it was good news for most Americans. In addition to a sense of vindication for those of us who object to post-vaccination masking, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky’s statement provided another much-needed service — it forced the metastasizing mask cult to reveal itself as a coalition of anti-science zealots and petty tyrants. A typical example of their collective response to the CDC guidance appeared in the Washington Post under the title, “The CDC shouldn’t have removed restrictions without requiring proof of vaccination.”

"Its author, former Planned Parenthood CEO Leana S. Wen, is a proponent of vaccine passports for routine activities such as retail shopping, restaurant dining, going to the theater, and working in a fully staffed office. Aside from the constitutional and legal issues raised by the kind of government-issued passports Dr. Wen advocates, her views aren’t shared by most Americans. A recent Gallup survey found that a mere 40 percent support vaccine passports for restaurant dining, and only 45 percent favor them in the workplace. The only activities for which majorities supported such passports were airplane travel and attendance at large public gatherings such as concerts. Dr. Wen isn’t satisfied with such modest limitations:

The problem is this: You know what you’re doing, but you have no way to be confident of trusting everyone else. Let’s say you go the grocery store. It’s crowded and few people there are masked. Perhaps everyone is vaccinated, but perhaps not. What if you’re vaccinated but not fully protected because you’re immunocompromised? You can no longer count on CDC rules to help you keep safe. What if you don’t have child care, so you had to bring your kids along? They didn’t choose to remain unvaccinated — the shots aren’t available for them. Surely, it’s not fair to put them at risk.

Black Lives Matter Sides with Iranian Backed Terrorist Organization Hamas

Katie Pavlich  "Black Lives Matter, an organization behind the most violent and costly riots in American history, is siding with Hamas as the Iranian backed terror group continues to launch rockets at civilian targets in Israel.

"Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians. We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation. ( always have. And always will be ). #freepalestine," the group tweeted earlier this week, conflating 'Palestinian liberation' with Hamas terrorism. 

"Black Lives Matter has a history of anti-Semitism and its leaders have often praised Louis Farrakahn as a mentor. When the organization was founded in 2013, it falsely accused Israel of committing genocide and upholding an apartheid state. BLM supports the Boycott Divest and Sanction movement, which seeks to eliminate Israel from existence. Caroline Glick has thoroughly documented this. " . . .More...

What Really Is Behind the Latest Burst of Hamas Terror in Israel  . . . "After 1967, when Israel liberated east Jerusalem and reunited the city, the ousted Jewish owners went to court with their documentation to reclaim their seized property. Israel’s courts, which not only are fair but even lean over backwards to favor Arabs in such disputes, repeatedly have held that the Jewish claims are documented and legally valid. As the Jewish landowners were recognized legally, they did not try ousting anyone. Rather, the courts held they could charge rent to the squatters living in their homes, so they did."

BLM and Hamas; The Rockets and Ronald Greene

. . . The insidious evil of it is that one group of people have been used and abused for several generations by their own kind as political and actual cannon fodder to both destroy another group they view as a nemesis and to cover up their own failings. I’m not just referring to “Palestinians,” the Muslim World and Israel. Substitute blacks/minorities, the Democrat-Socialists and America as founded – and you will be astounded. I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it. The dozens of cities that burned last summer was in fact an artificially-created “intifada” (which was artificial itself). All based on the lie of “white privilege,” “systemic racism” and “black genocide at the hands of law enforcement” and so on.  . . .

Cheered on, I might add, by the youthful cheers of miseducated young adults .

Here’s How Fox News Spread A False Narrative Black Lives Matter Is Standing With Hamas. But yet... 

Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians. We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation. ( always have. And always will be ). #freepalestine

. . . "The BDS Movement responded to the BLM tweet saying:

“Thank you for your solidarity. From Ferguson to Palestine, our struggles against racism, white supremacy and for a just world are united!” . . .

 Black Lives Matter Declares ‘Solidarity’ With Hamas In Israel Conflict   . . . "Writing on Twitter, BLM’s official account noted that it “always will be” partnered with the cause of “Palestinian liberation.”

“ 'Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians. We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation. ( always have. And always will be ),” the organization said. 

"The sentiment echoes that of other progressive organizations and legislators, including Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), a member of the progressive “squad” who spoke out against Israel both in a floor speech, where she praised a Palestinian-American activist affiliated with Black Lives Matter who previously called for the death of police officers, and on Twitter, where she compared the conflict in Gaza to riots in Ferguson, Missouri." . . .

 

Bernie Sanders' bloody folly

 Lev Tsitrin   "Bernie Sanders cited "a moment when US-made bombs are devastating Gaza, 

and killing women and children" as a reason for his attempt to block a $735 million weapons sale to Israel .

"Suppose Bernie really cares for Palestinians and wants them not to suffer. How does a weaker Israel help achieve that goal? It will produce the opposite effect, for two totally different reasons. Firstly, sensing Israel’s weakness, Hamas will become more emboldened, daring and adventurous, and more willing to try its luck. The more frequent the flare-ups inspired by the perception of Israel's vulnerability, the higher the count of Palestinian casualties there will be. So, Senator Sanders, if your mind worked aright and you wanted to reduce Palestinian suffering, you would have wanted Israel to be strong, rather than weak -- and to be seen as strong, America solidly standing behind it. Deterrence is one way of avoiding conflict, and therefore, casualties. Your attempt to make Israel weak will hurt Palestinian civilians, not help them.

"It will hurt them for another reason, too. Palestinian civilian casualties are relatively low because Israel uses precision weapons to achieve its military goals. Suppose the Senate follows Bernie's lead and refuses to supply modern weaponry to Israel. Sanders of course expects that in that situation Israel will just roll over, surrendering to Hamas' demand -- and there will be peace (per Bernie, "the weapons sales fuel conflict between Israel and Palestinians"). But the Israelis know full well the kind of peace they can expect from Hamas -- the "peace of the grave." Israel will still fight Hamas tooth and nail, with whatever weaponry is available. Less precise weapons available to Israel will cause even worse "collateral damage;" there will be more, not fewer civilian casualties on the Palestinian side.

"We know why the "squad" wants Israel disarmed. Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are the spearheads of the Islamist fifth column that, among its other goals, wants Israel destroyed. That's easy to understand. The fellow travelers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hate America and hate Israel by extension. But Sanders? His suggestions, if effected, would have results that are the polar opposite to his desire to protect Palestinian civilians." . . .

Minneapolis Residents Agreed Not to Call the Cops, Then the Rapes Began

They didn't know that going in?

 Daniel Greenfield  "Last month, the New York Times brought its readers the heartwarming story of the Powderhorn neighborhood in Minneapolis whose residents had decided not to call the police.

"If you are a comfortable white person asking to dismantle the police I invite you to reflect: are you willing to stick with it?" Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender had demanded. "Will you be calling in three months to ask about garage break-ins? Are you willing to dismantle white supremacy in all systems, including a new system?"

"Powderhorn residents had taken that message to heart and refused to call the police.

"A few days later, a “juvenile” girl was assaulted. The Associated Press reported that, “the people who took the victim to the hospital did not call police.” . . .

"By July, the encampment had grown to 800 people and 3 sexual assaults.

"The oppressive system of “white supremacy” was being dismantled one rape at a time." . . .
