Editor’s Note: The first step in winning a war is to recognize the fact that you are in one. This means, first and foremost, to come to know your enemy and his goals. In a recent essay for this site, Glenn Ellmers and Ted Richards of the Claremont Institute make a compelling case that the present enemy—the “woke” or group quota regime—is a totalitarian threat, and that its aims are nothing short of revolutionary. While our own troubles may seem far removed from the hard totalitarianism of the twentieth century, Ellmers and Richards argue that the six traditionally accepted elements of totalitarianism are already present in woke America.

This ought to be in MUST READS, urgently. We are facing a world government. It is not benevolent, as all totalitarian regimes prove. Why? Because in order to bestow all the "benefits", you must control the "passions": the inner desire to improve one's conditions, the love for one's own, children, family, ultimately country, the devotion to one's understanding of The Divine, etc. And consider this, don't we look for excellence in the marketplace? In medicine when we're faced with health crises? In construction and engineering? In food production, processing, etc? Don't we want the best national defense, wanting the best soldiers --those who have patriotic fervor? This and more compelled the constant industriousness de Tocqueville noted and admired about the Americans in their new Republic. This industriousness was not new, but it was set free once the "benevolent dictators" of the British Colonizer Regime were sent packing. The time is late. We have been saying, Wake Up! now, at least since the nineties (although the corruption was well underway), at least since the uniparty-deepState was coming into focus, and as it began melding with like-"minded" ex-Soviet Bloc politicians, who are and always were fascists at heart. I remember thinking, this kinda looks like The Borg, de novo. It was truly alarming when it became clear that those ostentatiously wealthy elites meeting at Davos were not merely philosophizing about a utopia but were beginning to plan the overthrow of specifically our country (as the only one with democratic values and strength and will to maintain them), and to subdue the rest. Unmanageable numbers of "the rest"? Some say the planners are scheming to make those and any malcontents and resisters "managed" and manageable. When you think of Orwell's "1984", remember that he was writing this in 1948. He had witnessed the twin monstrosities of the Soviet communist regime and the fascist ones (two sides of the same coin). He was a socialist, but he was shocked awake by the realities. Workers, Fellow Citizens, of the world, unite! We have everything to lose, beginning with freedom.

This load of psychobabble points to an obvious fact, people who look different, act different and hold different values will always have varied degrees of mistrust for each other. This natural wariness is what has kept the human race alive for centuries and when promoted and exaggerated by "authorities" and the insecure, the mistrust leads to hatred and war. It's nothing new but it's what drives the fanatical leftists of today to lose their minds.

DEI is a failure because no matter how smart you are or successful, or make a lot of money, there are others out there who’re are smarter and more successful than you and have more money. DEI is a way to bring us to the lowest common denominator, which is stupid! Now you are easier to control.

Joe Biden Is 2024's Chaos Candidate 9 replies
Posted by Moritz55 5/3/2024 9:15:33 PM Post Reply
Higher prices, a broken border, raging wars, violent campuses—is this what Joe Biden promised Americans four years ago? Quite the opposite: In his 2020 convention address, Biden said that he would lead America away from Donald Trump and toward "a different path," where "together" we would "take this chance to heal, to be reborn, to unite. A path of hope and light." Leave aside, for a moment, the garbled metaphors and syrupy language. Consider instead how far away America is from Biden's gossamer vision.

The Justice Department announced Friday that Rep. Henry Cuellar has been indicted over claims he took $600,000 in bribes between 2014 and 2021 from an Azerbaijani oil and gas company and a Mexican bank. Cuellar (D-Texas) and his wife, Imelda, were both charged and appeared in a Houston federal court for having allegedly participated “in two schemes involving bribery, unlawful foreign influence, and money laundering,” according to a DOJ press release. According to prosecutors, the Cuellars accepted the bribes through “shell companies” owned by Imelda from Socar, Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil firm, and “a bank headquartered in Mexico City.”

There is almost no subject the left won’t lie about. Whether it’s denying basic biology or fabricating “bloodbath” hoaxes about their top Republican rival, no topic is off limits for the Democrat “disinformation” police — and that includes elections. Since the 2020 election, Democrats and their media allies have worked overtime to smear Americans concerned about the integrity of U.S. elections. No matter how legitimate these concerns may be, the left slanders anyone who challenges controversial elections won by Democrats as so-called “election deniers.”

The founder and CEO of telehealth and online pharmacy Hims took to social media on Wednesday to encourage anti-Israel protesters on college campuses to continue in those efforts because companies like his will be "eager" to hire them. Andrew Dudum, who founded Hims in 2017, said anti-Israel campus protesters are making a difference and drew a contrast to other executives who have said the antisemitic demonstrations have made those involved in campus protests unemployable. "Moral courage > College degree," Dudum wrote on X. "If you're currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people & for your university's divestment from Israel, keep going. It's working."

A 2020 social media post by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden blaming then-President Donald Trump for violence in the U.S. is drawing renewed criticism after violence has erupted on college campuses nationwide stemming from anti-Israel protests. "Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch," Biden posted on Twitter, now known as X, in August 2020. "Under his leadership. During his presidency." Social media users have looked back on that post in recent days, given the increased violence and arrests being made as anti-Israel activists have caused chaos on over a dozen college campuses in recent weeks.

More than 300 pages of newly unredacted exhibits, containing emails and other correspondence related to the early stages of the hunt for presidential papers, challenge public statements by Joe Biden about what he knew and when he knew it regarding the case against his political rival.

Last Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its advance estimate for 2024’s first-quarter real GDP growth. At 1.6 percent, it is the worst quarterly performance since the economy contracted by 0.6 percent almost two years ago in the second quarter of 2022. This was a growth level one-third below economists’ expectations of 2.4 percent. It is also a precipitous drop from 2023’s fourth quarter rate of 3.4 percent and 2023’third quarter rate of 4.9 percent. This slower growth comes on the heels of higher inflation. The March report on overall prices showed the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers rose 3.5 percent over the last year

Lord Randolph Churchill, Winston’s father, summarized the political career of Benjamin Disraeli, Britain’s great 19th century Conservative prime minister, as “failure, failure, failure, partial success, renewed failure, ultimate and complete triumph.” There is something in this sequence that parallels President Joe Biden’s half-century in politics, although in his case ultimate and complete triumph applies only to securing the presidency, not to his policies, leadership qualities, or the substantive and moral consequences of his occupancy of that office. Biden ran ignominiously badly for president in 1988 and 2008 before winning on his third try in 2020.

Do not believe the White House/mainstream media-concocted narrative that the four criminal court cases—prosecuted by Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Fani Willis—were not in part coordinated, synchronized, and timed to reach their courtroom psychodramatic finales right during the 2024 campaign season. These local, state, and federal Lilliputian agendas were designed to tie down, gag, confine, bankrupt, and destroy Trump psychologically and physically. They are the final lawfare denouement to years of extra-legal efforts to emasculate him.

Joe Biden is the least popular president of the past 70 years, according to a new Gallup poll. But you wouldn’t know it if you were at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington on Saturday night. The glittering event is supposed to be a roast of the president. Instead, it was a flattering suck-up to Biden amid jabs at Donald Trump. “Saturday Night Live” comedian Colin Jost, best known as Scarlett Johansson’s second husband, is a Staten Island boy who reads The Post, so you’d think he’d have a clue. But he ended his performance with a gushing tribute to Biden’s “decency.”

In the clip, three soldiers are seen standing with a cardboard Trump lookalike as they deliver a message directly to the former president, essentially threatening Trump’s life for opposing the war with Russia — the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee has boasted that he would end the conflict in 24 hours with a brokered peace deal. “We address Donald Trump.

Many on the left, including countless media organizations, keep trying to put lipstick on a pig and tell us it is Cindy Crawford. Yes, even today, some are characterizing President Biden as competent or even above average. And then there is The New Republic. Proclaiming Biden to be a “great” president, as The New Republic recently did, is akin to saying Pete Buttigieg is a “great” Secretary of Transportation…as trains keep derailing, plane parts fall from the sky, and ports are closed due to errant container ships and bridge collapses. But, keep in mind, The New Republic is to journalism what White Castle is to haute cuisine.

Elite higher education in America -- long unquestioned as globally preeminent -- is facing a perfect storm. Fewer applicants, higher costs, impoverished students, collapsing standards, and increasingly politicized and mediocre faculty reflect a collapse of the university system. The country is waking up to the reality that a bachelor's degree no longer equates with graduates being broadly educated and analytical. Just as often, they are stereotyped as pampered, largely ignorant, and gratuitously opinionated. No wonder polls show a drastic loss of public respect for higher education and, specifically, a growing lack of confidence in the professoriate.
