Good morning kids. Happy Presidents Day. And that naturally does not include the predominantly Democrat and so-called progressives that have laid us so low in the course of about a century. Yet, here we are on the verge of, or perhaps at a minimum with a good shot at reversing much of the damage caused by the aforementioned and putting us on the path towards an American renaissance.
Of course, as the wizards of smart in Foggy Bottom used to say "Changing Hearts and Minds." When one looks at the state of politics and culture here at home, that statement certainly is applicable. And while I am revolted by the concept of nation-building, the fact is we have had successive generations of citizens that voted for and participated in the aforementioned laying low of our Republic that we must somehow deprogram them and prevent further brainwashing of successive generations of children from being poisoned. One of the most potent weapons is language, its use, misuse and who gets to use it and in what manner. Language creates the mythologies, shibboleths and delusions that become passed down in the blood in many cases generation to generation, dictating who and what people will and will not vote for, regardless of their "lived experiences," and what their lying eyes show them. Setting a sleeping woman on fire in the NYC subway? Watching as half of LA is turned to ashes? Meaningless when all you've been told all your life is Trump, conservatives, Christians are literally Hitler, and the Big "F" word - FASCIST. Talk about a dog whistle.
There are several illustrative links about language and one's innate perceptions about the world that hold us back from seeing things as they really are.
The panic that gripped Europe’s political elites after J.D. Vance delivered some overdue home truths in Munich found expression back home in the most embarrassing question ever asked by a network anchor.
Our vice president had accused smug Eurocrats at the Munich Security Conference of abandoning free speech and allowing unchecked migration to roil their countries, warned them to respect their voters and told them America should not bear the primary burden of funding Europe’s security.
“If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump,” he said. “You need democratic mandates to accomplish anything of value.”
Cue apoplexy here and abroad. The critiques of Vance’s speech all seemed deliberately to miss the point, but the most ridiculous of all came from Vance’s old sparring partner, CBS anchor Margaret Brennan. While trying to excoriate Secretary of State Marco Rubio over Vance’s message Sunday, Brennan blamed the Nazi Holocaust on . . . wait for it . . . too much free speech. Vance made his appalling remarks, she huffed, while “he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide.”
Huh? After a momentary insanity check of his interlocutor, Rubio patiently put her straight on the history: “Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide,” he said. “The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal, because they hated Jews and they hated minorities . . . There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were the sole and only party that governed that country. So that’s not an accurate reflection of history.”To say the least.
The abject cluelessness or worse the intentional distortion of the facts about how the Holocaust came about are stomach-churning in the extreme. Or was it intentional distortion or does this yammering sack of hysteria and halitosis actually believe what she actually said?
Putting aside for a moment the fact that this took place in Germany and that the AFD party is in favor of deporting Muslim immigrants who are on a rampage of raping, murder and Islamic conquest everywhere they are allowed to live and breed, and restoring and preserving some semblance of postwar German civil society, let's go back and examine language. The received wisdom around the world is that the political RIGHT wherever they may be and whatever they call themselves are the inheritors of Hitler and Nazism. Therefore, being on and of the Left is or is supposed to be the counterbalance to that. In short Left is Good Right is Evil.
The inconvenient historical truth is that Hitler, Nazism and Fascism are also of the Left. Hello, Nazi is an abbreviation of the German words National Socialism. And of course socialism is the stepping stone to full on Communism, and in the space of about a century Communism killed well over 100 million people and counting. Much more when you include Mr. Schickelgruber and the Holocaust along with all the other casualties of the Second World War that he and his Italian and Japanese allies unleashed on humanity.
Again, this is why the Right/Center/Left paradigm is a complete fantasy. There is only freedom and liberty on one end of the spectrum and totalitarianism on the other.
I look forward to Vance's 8 years as POTUS 48 followed by the 8 years of his Veep's two terms as president 49.
Meanwhile, I sure hope Tom Homan goes full steam ahead with this!
Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is picking a fight with the worst possible Trump official she could beef with: border czar Tom Homan.
During the virtual event “Know Your Rights With ICE,” live-streamed Tuesday on Ocasio-Cortez’s Facebook page, the congresswoman gave illegal aliens advice on how to handle a raid from ICE on their home or workplace. Ocasio-Cortez’s government website has also featured guidance on how illegal aliens can avoid the feds, with tips such as “You do not have to open the door,” “You can ask them to leave,” and “You can stay silent.” (Subscribe to MR. RIGHT, a weekly newsletter about modern masculinity)Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar who has been conducting ICE raids across the country, addressed Ocasio-Cortez’s stunt Thursday night, suggesting the lawmaker may ultimately face consequences.
I'm thinking prosecution, conviction and imprisonment, and not motorboating her mastoids.
Anyone and everyone who interferes with the proper and legal functioning of our government and law enforcement should be on a chain gang breaking boulders into pebbles with teaspoons.
In any case, the winning continues as Musk lets the DOGE's loose!!! Have a great Day!
