“…Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responded to a question on an uptick in most violent crime categories in the city in 2023 by stating that money “for restoration and reparations” will help address the “cycle of violence” in the city…”
Absolute absurdity.
When your ideas and arguments are so strong you have to censor speech.
Biden has been terrible.
The regulations, bureaucratic requirements, government forms, and other intrusive nonsense are exhausting, especially on top of the normal concerns of small and large businessmen alike.
“…Twenty years ago, when I was a college student, I started writing about a then-nameless, niche ideology that seemed to contradict everything I had been taught since I was a child.
It is possible I would not have perceived the nature of this ideology—or rather I would have been able to avoid seeing its true nature—had I not been a Jew. But I was. I am. And in noticing the way I had been written out of the equation, I started to notice that it wasn’t just me, but that the whole system rested on an illusion.
What I saw was a worldview that replaced basic ideas of good and evil with a new rubric: the powerless (good) and the powerful (bad). It replaced lots of things. Color blindness with race obsession. Ideas with identity. Debate with denunciation. Persuasion with public shaming. The rule of law with the fury of the mob.
People were to be given authority in this new order not in recognition of their gifts, hard work, accomplishments, or contributions to society, but in inverse proportion to the disadvantages their group had suffered, as defined by radical ideologues. According to them, as James Kirchick concisely put it: “Muslim > gay, black > female, and everybody > the Jews.”
I was an undergraduate back then, but you didn’t need a PhD to see where this could go. And so I watched, in horror, sounding alarms as loudly as I could.
I was told by most Jewish leaders that, yes, it wasn’t great, but not to be so hysterical. Campuses were always hotbeds of radicalism, they said. This ideology, they promised, would surely dissipate as young people made their way in the world.
It did not…”
In the period 1982 – 1987, when I was in college, I did not observe this phenomenon. There were good and bad teachers, but no systemic nonsense replacing basic teaching. I think I had one or two classes where the teacher tried to focus attention on identity as opposed to English Literature, requiring students to disclose and discuss their ethnicity and experiences fitting into American society. I refused to participate in this in class or in writing stating my ethnicity as American, etc. I was vocal in class and asked many questions. I received a ‘C’. I never complained about grades that I received even if I felt the grade was wrong. I felt a wrong grade reflected more about the teacher than me. I was a cocky, headstrong kid.
“…Obama’s intervention should be seen as a major salvo in the broader war over diversity, equity and inclusion in America’s most influential institutions.
Obama is making a play to protect the DEI regime itself — a regime, already roiled by the backlash against wokeism and the Supreme Court’s strike against affirmative action in schools, critical to maintaining political power.
Barack Obama is the leader of the Democratic Party in everything but name and the face of our credentialed pseudo-elites.
Harvard is arguably the most prestigious university in the world.
Claudine Gay, proudly touted as Harvard’s first black and second female president, has devoted much of her career to advancing DEI and led the creation of a sprawling DEI administrative state, injecting racist “anti-racism” and anti-equality “equity” into every aspect of the school.
…[DEI] is a tool of power and control — engendering political and ideological conformity and the mobilization and weaponization of its cadres — the left has wielded to maximum effect as it’s taken over every influential institution.
If Claudine Gay were to fall, it could topple the entire house of cards the left, led by Barack Obama, helped build…”

Global warming is the biggest scientific hoax of my lifetime.
It is anti-science, cult-like religion:
WHO head Tedros declares war on meat and traditional farming to fight ‘climate change’.
“…The former UN Ambassador and South Carolina governor, who has seen her star rise in the first-in-the-nation primary state, was appearing at a town hall event in Berlin, New Hampshire, when a voter asked her to identify the cause of the war.
“I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run,” she responded. “The freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do. What do you think the cause of the Civil War was or argument?”
The questioner, who could not be easily heard off camera, was apparently unpersuaded by Haley’s response. When she asked him what he believed the cause of the war was, he replied that he wasn’t running for president.
“I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are,” Haley replied. “And I will always stand by the fact that I think government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people. Government doesn’t need to tell you how to live your life. They don’t need to tell you what you can and can’t do. They don’t need to be a part of your life. They need to make sure that you have freedom. We need to have capitalism. We need to have economic freedom. We need to make sure that we do all things so that individuals have the liberties so that they can have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to do or be anything they want to be without government getting in the way.”
When the questioner said it was “astonishing” to hear her respond “without mentioning the word slavery,” Haley replied:
“What do you want me to say about slavery?”
She then asked for the next question…”

This is who they are.
