The oldest mystery about the Left is how it continues to be a formidable force when everything it has ever tried has been a catastrophe, often a homicidal one. For 250 years, its Godless contra-nature philosophy has led to historic misery. The Soviet Union’s First Five Year Plan collectivizing agriculture starved eight-million men, women, and children to death. Undaunted, Mao quintupled that number less than three decades later in his Great Leap Forward. My native country, Cuba, went from thriving to desolate in five years under Fidel Castro. Yet he was the model Hugo Chavez emulated when destroying oil-rich Venezuela.
Before Obama became president, a man pretending to be a woman and holding a high rank in the armed forces would have been a late-night comedy joke.
You would think the people of the richest, strongest country in the world would count their blessings and embrace the system that thus far spared them such a fate. That they would revere the founding fathers who conceived it, themselves worshippers of a higher order. “We hold these truths to be self-evident,” they immortally decreed. “That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” When a century later men defied these principles and defended the enslavement of others, they had to stop being Americans to do so. They had to be crushed at great cost to the Union, with more than 600,000 dead. “As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,” soldiers sang in The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

For a long time afterward, Americans were grateful for their blessings. True, some put their prejudices above their better angels and slowed the path to greatness. Nonetheless, the vast majority of all races took pride in the nation and helped to unite it. They championed the same causes — family, faith, and freedom. No external enemy could weaken these building blocks. But the enemy was inside the gate.
It took a hundred years to bring America to the edge of disaster where it is today. This history has been chronicled by greater scholars than I. How the Left took over academia, then the media, then one of the two major political parties. How it pit people against one another by group — blacks against whites, women against men, parents against their unborn babies. How it perverted reality itself, declaring that men can become women merely by mind over matter.
At earlier points, conservatives could have stopped this, by appealing to normal people. But they let the madness spread believing common sense would prevail. In the real world, they knew, demanding that a city defund its police will result in an explosion of violent crime. Removing all border obstacles will permit the invasion of millions and cause an epidemic of drug deaths. Disdaining white Christian men in the military — the most likely group to volunteer — while promoting women, homosexuals, and “trans”-women will create a recruitment shortage. And a mammoth family entertainment company imposing anti-family content will be abandoned by the entire world audience.
Before Obama became president, a man pretending to be a woman and holding a high rank in the armed forces would have been a late-night comedy joke. But today U.S. Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram is the actual spokesman for the service branch, naturally speaking total gibberish in awful English at the Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit. “We fight today and we fight in the future using brain power,” Fram said. “And if that brain, who’s going to revolutionize the way we fight in cyber, just happens to be in a trans body, you should want them all serving alongside me.” Good thing for the Chinese astronauts that in space, no one can hear you laugh.
There is a clear solution to the mystery of leftist destruction. It’s their purpose not the unforeseen result. They hate the Right and men — especially white men — and the Western civilization they built more than any phantom white supremacy. They’ll lose wars before welcoming such men, and label each defeat a victory as they did in Afghanistan. (READ MORE: Heroes and Zeroes of 2023)
As for art, they know they can create nothing anywhere near as fine as the men who made the movies and kept them vibrant for a century. They can only soil and pervert their legacy with inclusive parasitic imitations, where girls can outfight boys and have no interest in romancing them or nurturing them. This hatred is all they have left, and they will burn the industry that foolishly hired them before catering to primitive deplorables.
Which brings us to the old reliable bomb factory, Woke Disney. Its once magical branch, Pixar, joined the studio’s progressive party shoving feminist and gay propaganda down children’s throats. Until kids stopped showing up. Last weekend’s Pixar release Soul opened at 1,350 theaters and grossed just half a million dollars. Now comes word the company will cut 20 percent of its work force, about 300 jobs.
In the real world, Disney executives would reverse course from their feminist agenda, beginning with their once boy-centric franchise Star Wars. They would think of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the same way George Lucas first thought of Buck Rogers when conceiving those icons. But that would mean letting white men be heroes again and inspire boys of all races. (READ MORE: Beauty’s Last Stand – TV Christmas Movies)
Disney had a better idea — hire male-bashing feminist director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy — to helm the new Star Wars film. No doubt Obaid-Chinoi’s 2015 quote, “I like to make men uncomfortable. I enjoy making men uncomfortable,” cemented Disney’s choice of her as director. Unfortunately for her and Disney, men and boys will be very comfortable in a galaxy far, far away from the theater.
