Left Wing? What's That?

Last week, I received the email below from Gale Primary Sources, acting on behalf of the University of California’s Center for Right-Wing Studies. It sought permission to digitize and disseminate materials created by my organization, Center of the American Experiment. These materials would be part of an archive that Berkeley will “publish and commercially distribute,” for the purposes of academic research and education on the “Right Wing.” I noticed that, while it was sent by email, the Gale communication was mis-addressed to my organization’s former headquarters–the building that was firebombed by left-wing extremists. Curious about the bipartisan nature of Berkeley’s interest in “wing” studies, I responded: Dear Sir/Madam,

Nine months after Thomas Matthew Crooks fired eight shots at President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pa., we're still being kept in the dark about what really happened. And if you think we're getting the full story from the FBI, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you because something isn’t adding up.
Crooks is described by those who knew him as a "seemingly mild-mannered" 20-year-old with nearly straight A's throughout school and an impressive 1530 SAT score. Somehow, he transformed into an assassin on July 13, 2024. Yet, unlike most mass shooters, he left no manifesto explaining his actions.
Trump miraculously survived with only an ear wound.

Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago is getting a quick lesson on performance approval polls. It turns out that lousy mayors and governors get bad approval numbers. Here is the story:
In January 2023, shortly before the February Chicago mayoral elections, former Mayor Lori Lightfoot had a dismal 22% approval rating. Current Mayor Brandon Johnson’s approval has now sunk even lower, to only 6.6% in the latest poll, as issues such as rising crime concern residents of the Windy City.
In the latest poll from M3 Strategies, which surveyed 696 likely Chicago voters Feb. 20-21, 67% said that crime was one of the top three issues facing Chicago,
If you embrace a position—whether it’s religious, political, moral—completely devoid of fact… and reason… and logic… and practicality… and responsibility…and integrity… and objectivity… and empathy… and self-sacrifice… then apparently all you’re left with are debunked lies.
Case in point: Yesterday, Ohio congresswoman Joyce Beatty made this claim on X:
"Thirteen years ago today, Trayvon Martin, at 17 years old, was wrongfully killed in an act of police brutality that shook the nation and brought vital awareness to the racially motivated violence that plagues our country. Today, and every day, let us continue the fight for racial equity and speak out against the hate that divides us.
Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) There's never a bad time to mock Jake Tapper — aka "White Joy Reid" — for being awful at what he does. I've been doing it for years. In fact, I've probably gone after Tapper more than any other Democratic propagandist in the mainstream media for one big reason. OK, maybe two reasons. Sometimes I get Tapper confused with Rachel Maddow.
I know, I know — Maddow's voice is deeper.
The main reason I've gone after Tapper so much is that he was able to pull the wool over a lot of conservatives' eyes for a long time.

New Book ‘Exposing’ Coverup of Joe
Biden’s Mental Decline 2 replies
A new book purporting to expose the cover-up of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, co-authored by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, has conservative critics fuming with exasperation.
While Thompson was one of the few legacy media journalists who questioned Biden’s mental acuity well before his disastrous debate, Tapper ignored the elephant in the room for years, and even insisted in 2020 that Biden’s chronic incoherence was just a “stutter.”
The pair, according to CNN, was inspired to write “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” the day after Donald Trump won the 2024 election.
But even before the 2020 election, it was obvious

Tim Walz is a vile, intemperate person who not only lost his election for vice president, but was publicly humiliated. He fared so badly in his one debate that he resorted to calling himself a knucklehead, and in general performed so bizarrely that by the end of the campaign, 60% of the country thought he was gay.
So if you want to be charitable, maybe that embarrassment explains his outburst before a Minnesota nurses’ union group on Tuesday, where he said that the country is being “stolen by fascists and Nazis.” (X) I don’t suppose he means the election was stolen, so he must mean that the actions the Trump administration
Pain is the most common reason for seeking medical care. Although pain is experienced only by individuals, under federal policy, pain is a public health challenge, even a global health priority. In a way, this isn’t surprising, as modern definitions of health and public health are expansive, even including transitory mental and emotional states.
Public health as a concept arose along with eugenics during the Progressive Era. Although the two concepts weren’t completely congruent, both were compatible with government assuming authority to act on behalf of the health of the population.
Logically, a healthy community isn’t a thing. All populations include
The DC mid-air crash: DEI everywhere

Much has been written about the mid-air collision of an airliner and an Army Blackhawk helicopter over the Potomac off Reagan Washington National Airport. This is among the most congested airspaces in America, yet the Army has, for decades, routed helicopter traffic through it.
Because of the subordination of our armed forces and every other organ or government, including the FAA, to DEI priorities questions of training, experience and competence are inevitable. Inevitable too are attempts to blame this crash and others on Donald Trump, a man only in office a few weeks at the time of the DC crash. Now we’ve discovered there is likely another factor involved,
PolitiFact finally found time to fact-check a Democrat on Tuesday. Unfortunately, writer Louis Jacobson refused to give Washington Sen. Patty Murray’s false claim a false rating when she declared that, since 2001, GOP tax cuts have done more than anything else to add to the deficit, instead giving the claim a “half true rating.”
The specific claim from Murray came from a speech she gave on the Senate floor on February 20, claiming the Senate GOP’s budget is “not about balancing the budget. We all know that. Because they don’t plan to reverse one of the biggest drivers of the debt: Republican tax cuts
Within days of Donald Trump’s November landslide, Bishop Mark Seitz, head of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ migration committee, warned that Their Eminences were preparing to “’raise our voice loudly’” if Trump’s immigration policy “’violates basic human rights.’”
This episcopal loudness signals the end of the USCCB’s scrupulously-maintained four-year vow of silence through the entire presidency of the “devoutly” Catholic Joe Biden.
Their silence spoke volumes to Catholics witnessing Biden doing his utmost to wage open war on the most fundamental teachings of the Church. Not only was this “‘good Catholic’” (Biden claimed Pope Francis described him this way during a 2021 audience),

Dear Sir/Madam,
Conservatives have been saying for years that MSNBC platforms some of the most racist people in the Pravda Media--and until recently, the market for racism has been booming. So much so that the demand for racism exceeded the supply.
It was good to be Ta-Nehesi Coates. It was good to be Hannah Nicole-Jones. And it was good to be Joy-Ann Reid and the racists at MSNBC. What made MSNBC unique was that racism was its primary product, and even when it seemed to deviate from that frame, it always attached racism to ancillary topics like Trump is Bad Orange Man. One main reason was, of course, that he was

Legendary actor, two-time Oscar winner and author Gene Hackman and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead Wednesday afternoon in their home in the Santa Fe Summit community northeast of the city.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed just after midnight Thursday the couple had died, along with their dog.
Mendoza said in an interview Wednesday evening there was no immediate indication of foul play. He did not provide a cause of death or say when the couple might have died.
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg said during a discussion about President Donald Trump‘s gold card immigration proposal that immigrants are necessary because Americans are not helpful in knowing how to “do stuff.”
“My point is, we’ve spent over 100 years saying to people, come, you’re welcome. We’ll take you. Now, nobody knows how you get in, what do you do because it’s a mess,” Goldberg said Wednesday on The View in a rant about the immigration system under the Trump administration. “So I want somebody to make up your mind so people know what to do.”
On Sunday night, President Donald Trump announced that Dan Bongino would be filling the role of deputy director at the FBI. This comes after Kash Patel was confirmed a few days before as the bureau's director. Trump's pick of Patel and now Bongino have fired up leftist commentators and Democratic politicians so fiercely, they've taken to forget very key details about what makes Bongino qualified.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) who, along with all of his Democratic colleagues, did not vote to confirm Patel, was particularly incensed about Bongino. So much so, that he left out key details of what makes him qualified, and it's not merely because it's Trump's right
When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) went to the steakhouse at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. Monday night to dine with (alleged) lobbyists he was a little too loose-lipped, and sadly for him conservative journalist Nick Sortor was seated at the table next to him and heard it all. In fact, Sortor says Swalwell "invaded" his table while he was "inebriated at dinner," and promised a video recap. Sortor says he has audio of the conversation, but he hasn't yet released it. (Presumably, he's getting legal advice) He did, however, release a summary of what Swalwell said and a video of him confronting Swalwell as the group exited the restaurant.
One year after California introduced a first-of-its-kind $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers, an increase of up to 70 cents is slated for a vote. California's Fast Food Council, comprised of fast-food workers, restaurant owners and state officials, approved a motion Wednesday to consider a cost-of-living-adjustment at an upcoming meeting. (Snip) Workers and labor advocates said the increase was needed to address rising costs of living in one of the country's most expensive states to live. Veronica Gonzales, a fast-food worker, spoke remotely from a room full of workers organized under the California Fast Food Workers Union’s San Jose chapter.
Legendary actor and two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead Wednesday afternoon at their home in the Santa Fe Summit community northeast of the city. Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed shortly after midnight Thursday that the couple had passed away along with their dog. While Mendoza did not disclose a cause of death or specify when they might have died, he stated in an interview that there were no immediate signs of foul play.
Immediate speculation centered around the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning, but a new report indicates that authorities are investigating their deaths as "suspicious."
An anti-Trump boycott on Friday?

If you haven’t heard, leftists are taking their ball and going home, like petulant toddlers, on Friday, February 28. The news on socialist...er, social media lately has been about the “Feb. 28 economic blackout,” which is supposed to be a protest by leftists over the fact that they lost the election. They want people to refrain from participating in the economy for 24 hours — specifically those major retailers that dared scale back on Didn’t Earn It efforts.[Snip] Remember that the order from the left is “no Amazon, no Walmart, no fast food,”

Five former secretaries of Defense have signed a letter protesting the firing by President Trump of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. C. Q. Brown, demanding the Senate refuse to confirm Trump’s nominee to replace Brown and for Congress to investigate the firing of Brown and other senior officers by Trump.
Trump nominated retired Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to replace Brown. Caine will need a waiver from Trump on meeting the legal requirements for the chairman.

Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday instructing him to look into allegations that FBI agents are concealing documents related to pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.This development comes as the Justice Department released the first tranche of documents revealing Epstein’s alleged associates to conservative online influencers.
In the letter, Bondi notes that she “repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents.”
Democrats have found an immigrant they don't like, and that would be Elon Musk, who dared to support President Donald Trump during the campaign and now works with him to get to the bottom of government waste and fraud. One Democrat, though, Rep. Marcy Katpur of Ohio, had a particularly ugly moment using Musk's immigration status as a means to question his "loyalty."
"Mr. Musk has just been here 22 years," Kaptur said, as she complained about how he has citizenship with multiple countries. The congresswoman completely missed the point when it comes to how he is a citizen of the United States, and has been since 2002.
