Americans Must Chose Between Civilization—
Or Its Destroyers

Nihilism is the religion of the Left. Anarchy is now at the core of the new Democratic Party. If the Left wished radically to alter the demography of the U.S., it could have expanded legal immigration through legislation or the courts. Instead, it simply erased the border and dynamited federal immigration law. By fiat, nihilists ended the wall, and stopped detaining and deporting illegal aliens altogether. Or was it worse than that when candidate Joe Biden in September 2019 urged would-be illegal aliens to "surge" the border? As a result, through laxity and entitlement incentives, eight-million illegal entrants have swarmed the southern border under the Biden administration.

Kari Lake’s Bid to Raise Arizona
3 replies
The road to the Trump White House winds through Arizona, and that means Kari Lake’s Senate bid is critical. The question for Republicans in the state is whether they’ll get on board with the Lake candidacy and help Donald Trump win the presidency and the GOP control of the Senate. Kari Lake, who ran for governor of Arizona and was beaten by a mostly absent Katie Hobbs and lots of ballot shenanigans in the Republican-controlled Maricopa County, has enemies. Lake has been shunned by some McCain-loving and Trump-hating Arizona Republicans. In her first book, Unafraid, she writes of an embarrassing interaction with then-Gov. Doug Ducey
President Joe Biden should be leading public opinion on Israel's effort to eliminate Hamas, not using his office to shame our close ally. Unfortunately, after a strong start in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist pogrom of Oct. 7, Biden has allowed himself to be dragged into equivocation by the pro-Hamas/Palestinian Left and has thus become a less effective advocate for good than he should be.
Speaking at a fundraiser on Tuesday, Biden observed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government was "losing" the world's support for its campaign in Gaza. He lambasted what he falsely claimed was "indiscriminate bombing" by Israel. This is demagogic and dangerous.
Multi-culti Reckoning

The explosion of support for Hamas’s assault on human decency could well turn out to be the high-water mark of the progressive Left. The authoritarian multicultural ideology generated on campuses and transmitted dutifully by the established media has reached its apex and may now begin to descend.
The signs are tentative but some are unmistakable. Corporate and university Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) departments are being slashed, and increasingly seen as both burdensome and discriminatory toward whites, Jews, and Asians. One-third of DEI professionals lost their jobs in 2022.
Jews across the globe knew that Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack was different. The scale and the planning it took. The medieval approach and butchery. The trauma inflicted. The sexual atrocities.
But what we couldn’t have expected was how deeply the attack, and the ensuing fallout, would be felt here in America. It’s hard to think of any event — especially one that occurred several thousand miles away — that has caused more consideration of the facets of American society than 10/7 has.
This terrorist attack has unsettled key orthodoxies that have guided us since as far back as the Constitution. It has rattled us to our core

One of the words that’s become utterly void of meaning in the last few years because of its overuse and misuse is privilege. White privilege, male privilege, able-bodied privilege, gender privilege, heterosexual privilege, even hot privilege. In these contexts, privilege is a stain, an original sin meant to guilt the offending party into repentance.
“Check your privilege” became a common refrain of the past decade. What all of this has done is confuse and undermine the idea of real privilege, which, of course, really exists in this country.
The ultimate privilege in America is not being born white or straight or male. The ultimate privilege,
Hunter Biden showed he has his father’s chutzpah Wednesday when he blew off a congressional subpoena to hold a woe-is-me press conference on Capitol Hill.
“I’m here. I’m ready,” he said, and then swept away in his motorcade without answering a single question. Like father, like son.
Of course, there’s nothing bold or brave about inviting a contempt charge from Congress when you have Daddy’s pardon power in your back pocket.
Hunter could have taken his entourage over to the House hearing room where Oversight Chairman James Comer was waiting for him to testify — and simply pleaded the Fifth, to avoid complicating his twin indictments on tax and gun charges.
Instead,
I have known people like Claudine Gay my entire life and they are the reason why I never checked the “black” box on college and employment applications. If I had, I would not be a free individual today.
As a child, I was fascinated by the story of my paternal grandparents’ interracial marriage in 1944 in segregated Chicago. The 1967 interracial marriage of my black father to the daughter of Holocaust survivors in the same city wasn’t much easier; at the time, America burned with race riots. My grandparents and parents had every reason not to marry across the color line. But they chose love over their racial order.

Harvard presidents resign after antisemitism testimony 12 replies
The House of Representatives voted in favor of a resolution calling on the presidents of Harvard and MIT to resign following last week's hearing on antisemitism. In a vote on Wednesday evening, representatives passed the resolution by a vote of 303-126. It required two-thirds to pass, or 290 votes.
The bill was introduced by House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J.
"President Magill has resigned, and the other Presidents should follow suit," the resolution states.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said Hunter Biden made a "huge change" by saying his father, President Biden, was "not financially involved" in his business dealings. Jordan's comments came shortly after Hunter Biden defied his subpoena by not appearing for a deposition before the House Oversight Committee, and instead, delivering a public statement defending himself and his family amid the House impeachment inquiry against his father.
"My father was not financially involved in my business," Hunter Biden said Wednesday morning from Capitol Hill, adding the president was not involved in his dealings with Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, or his Chinese investments and others in the U.S.
Political polarization in politics is a feature of our political system today, but it wasn’t always this way. Conservatives began to dominate the GOP in 1964, and in 1968 the historic Democratic establishment began to be discredited and undermined. These gradual forces came to a head in 1972. The culminating clash has been the source of a half-century of competition and conflict.
Before 1964, there was a broad centrism with liberal and conservative wings. Moderate Republicans and conservative Democrats could find a lot of common ground. Liberal Republicanism was gradually weakening, and the conservative Democrats of the South were steadily losing ground and legitimacy.
The structures that bind the nations of the world together are breaking down before our eyes. Two savage wars are raging in volatile regions, either of which might at any moment blow up to involve additional belligerents and the potential use of nuclear weapons.
The UN, established to prevent such disasters, has become a plaything of dictators: Iran, one of the bloodiest regimes on earth and a proud sponsor of terrorism, has just assumed the chair of the UN’s Human Rights Council.
China has greatly accelerated production of nuclear warheads — and the Chinese media has begun to issue threats about “war on a global scale.”

President Joe Biden’s border chief has a deal for the GOP: He will carefully cap illegal migration at one million a year if the GOP approves $61 billion for war in Ukraine, according to press reports.
The offer would double pre-2021 immigration numbers, but it is a “good faith offer,” said one of the four GOP negotiators told reporters.“We’re at 11,000” illegal migrants per day or roughly 4 million migrants in a year, Sen. Thom Tillis told CBS on December 13, adding:
We’ve seen what the White House has sent over … We’ve got to get somewhere closer to … 2,000 [migrants] a day [or 700,000 a year],
A Wired investigation reveals Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is building a massive underground bunker with a "blast-resistant door" to survive the end times. For years, Zuckerberg has added hundreds of acres to his controversial 1,500-acre ranch in Kauai, Hawaii. Much of that has been known, but now new planning documents reveal a "5,000-square-foot underground shelter" equipped with "own energy and food supplies" is being constructed, according to the tech blog, citing public planning documents obtained through public records requests.

Kaeden Patel is like any teenager - he loves video games, sports and eating too much candy.
But unlike most boys his age, the 13-year-old makes a six-figure salary after starting up his own company.
The entrepreneur - and his 11-year-old business partner- launched a eco education company that teaches children about how they can help save the planet.Kaeden now has to be home-schooled because he spreads his time between Canada, London and New York, attending conferences and meeting clients.
But he still makes time for daily meetings with his business partner Vasco Connor, 11, who is from Singapore.
A crushing budget deficit has forced San Francisco Mayor London Breed to eliminate the budget of the Office of Reparations, which was considering lavish payouts to long-term black residents of the city, though it never practiced or allowed slavery. (snip) Despite these challenges, as Breitbart News reported, San Francisco leaders were considering reparations for long-term black residents, and were floating sums in the range of $5 million, though these were not based on any precise mathematical calculations.
Now, however, Mayor Breed has cut the program.
Boy, are the powers-that-be at Harvard invested in protecting President Claudine Gay — not just over her telling fumbles on antisemitism, but on multiple indications of plagiarism in her (scant) published academic work. Concerns that Harvard not only kept secret, but deployed high-powered attorneys to try to quash.The Post began investigating Gay’s potential plagiarism weeks before her disastrous Dec. 5 House testimony on antisemitism, reaching out to Harvard Oct. 24 for comment on dozens of suspect passages.
Barack Obama is concerned about Joe Biden's prospects for next year's election and 'feels that Democrats very well could lose', according to a report.
With Donald Trump edging ahead in polls, and concerns about the president's age, immigration, Israel policy and economic plan denting confidence, a person described by The Wall Street Journal as being familiar with Obama's thinking said the former president was troubled.
Trump leads by 2 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average. Obama 'knows this is going to be a close race', the source said, and 'feels that Democrats very well could lose' the 2024 election.
Obama worries that 'the alternative is pretty dangerous for democracy,' the person said.
Proving once again that its priorities have swung like a rainbow-colored wrecking ball away from its mission to “protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats” and “to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States,” the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a statement announcing that it is adding extra letters to the alphabet soup that is LGTB+ inclusivity.
Fear not that the President of the United States and his son are being accused of potentially treasonous acts or that people on the actual terrorist watchlist are entering the country across open borders, the FBI is now tacking “IA” onto the “LGTBQ+” acronym,
As polls show Joe Biden’s re-election is in peril because of the public’s negative opinion of how he’s handled the economy, TV viewers woke up Friday morning to a round of happy talk telling them that, despite what they might think, the economy is really quite spectacular.
“The economy is in solid shape. Job growth is steady and inflation is cooling,” ABC’s Elizabeth Schulze exclaimed on Good Morning America. Over on Today, NBC’s Tom Costello cheered that travel will be cheaper this Christmas: “Gas prices now below $3 a gallon in more than 20 states,

Of Civil War Memorial From Arlington National Cemetery 15 replies
The Democrats’ march to Year Zero continues apace with the Biden regime’s proposed removal of a Civil War Memorial that marks the grave of the memorial’s Jewish sculptor who is buried at its base. The memorial’s removal would also necessarily desecrate the graves of numerous Confederate soldiers buried nearby.
The memorial is intended to celebrate the post-war reconciliation of the North and South, a celebration of unity that apparently rankles Democrats and their rabid desire for division and destruction.
Notre Dame Cathedral is now the target of a literal attempt to “build back better” after French leaders called to add a “mark of the 21st century” with a contest to redesign prominent features.
On Dec. 8, French President Emmanuel Macron visited the restoration effort of the famed cathedral, marking the one-year countdown from the expected completion following the April 2019 fire. It was then that the progressive leader announced plans to include a contemporary twist on the landmark by way of a design contest.
“I fully support [the idea],” Macron told reporters regarding the request from Archbishop of Paris Monsignor Laurent Ulrich
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is urging former President Donald Trump to debate him ahead of the Iowa caucus, which takes place January 15, following former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley agreeing to appear in CNN’s Hawkeye State debate.
“If Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are going to continue to spend millions against me on television with false attacks, they should at least have the courage to meet on the debate stage,” DeSantis said in a Friday post on X. “Now that Nikki Haley has been shamed into coming to the CNN debate, it’s time for Donald Trump to follow suit and join us,” DeSantis added: (X)
