There They Go Again
Every day, in so many ways, progressives prove that they're unfit to serve
Let’s start with Kamala Harris, the sitting Vice President of the United States and the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. We know her values, right? She grew up middle class, remember? She loves small businesses, true? And the’s the most quotable politician in America today! Yesterday she informed America of a startling fact: “The children of the community are the children of the community.” Who knew? Those 111 “GOP officials” who claim that Donald Trump is unfit to be president really need to review their priors…
Moving right along, we bump up against Bratgirl Kamala’s running mate, Comrade Imitation Sergeant Major Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota—and God help the North Star State. You may not know this, but Coach Walz is a constitutional scholar whose research has ferreted out a startling fact: The First Amendment doesn’t really mean what it says! According to Walz, Americans have no constitutional right to broadcast “hate speech.” In practice, of course, this means that the Ogre Trump must be muzzled, but that the antisemitic ranting of campus “anti-Zionists” may be overlooked. Never forget that in Walz World, defending “our democracy” embodies exceptions for MAGA and Jews.
Speaking of which, everybody’s favorite progressive pinup, the inimitable Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democratic member of Congress, Squad leader, and bleeding-heart humanitarian, just had a meltdown over a heinous Israeli war crime: the deployment of exploding pagers and hand-held radios against employees of Hezbollah, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran. On X, AOC sobbed that the attacks, which resulted in numerous impromptu circumcisions, was a violation of “international humanitarian law”—which does not, of course, apply to “freedom fighters” like the murderous goons of Hamas and Hezbollah.
It does seem that the party of Heather Cox Richardson has a problem with Jews. In the Democrat-controlled Senate, a hearing on “hate speech” before that body’s Judiciary Committee was managed in such a way as to dodge around the inconvenient reality that the most glaring examples of hate speech in America today emanate from the “anti-Zionist” Left. In that the Dems failed, for their hand-picked witness, Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab American Institute, gave the game away by refusing to admit the obvious: that Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran are dedicated to the destruction of Israel. “I think these are complicated questions,” she opined. No, Maya. They’re not. Really.
On the progressive higher education front, it’s business as usual. At Cornell University, Professor Russell Rickford is back on the job. He was placed on “voluntary leave” and hustled off campus last year after proclaiming himself “exhilarated” by the Hamas pogrom in Israel on 10/7/23 that killed 1,200 Israelis and injured thousands more. Rickford should have been sacked, of course. But academia is covered by the aforementioned MAGA/Jews exception. So after a year of comfortable exile, this specimen of human garbage is once more polluting the minds of Cornell students with his alt-historical agitprop.
And it wouldn’t be a proper review of progressive stupidity, mendacity, and evil without a shoutout to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Remember her? She’s the doofus who lost the presidential election of 2016 to Donald J. Trump! Well, HRC’s back in the news with her opinion that Americans who spread “Russian propaganda” in a presidential election year should go to jail. Once again, the First Amendment gets kicked to the curb. Oh, and not incidentally, the kicker is this odious harridan who cooked up an entirely false narrative concerning Trump’s “collusion” with V. Putin—speaking of misinformation.
The best way to deal with incorrect information is with evidence showing that it’s incorrect. Not by limiting free speech, with one group making the decisions about what information is “correct” (which will conveniently always be information that favors the interests of the group deciding which information to censor). Trump has his bad points but he supports free speech, and as the primary target of much of the propaganda and censorship, he has a clear view of how harmful it has been to our society
And yet half the country will vote for Kamela.
A combination of naked political ambition, cynical Washington operatives (including the press), TDS, and stupidity mean that we have even odds.
Oh,don't forget antisemitism. Haters know that Trump is a supporter of Israel.
What strikes me is that we feel contempt for them and they hate us.
