Rand Paul endorses Mike Gibbons

Our household gets regular emails from Sen. Rand Paul (we are on lots of mailing lists).  Whether you like him or not, Sen. Paul has certainly been stepping up to the plate in challenging Anthony Fauci, especially on gain-of-function research on the Wuhan virus and the ties between Fauci and the Wuhan lab.  Here's Sen. Paul's message:

Only one thing is stopping Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer from implementing their radical agenda - our hold on the Senate. 

They are already plotting their 2022 election plans to expand their majority...

Fortunately, my friend Mike Gibbons could foil all of their plans. 

Mike Gibbons is running for Senate in an open seat in Ohio that Biden and Harris DESPERATELY need to win if they wish to keep the Senate in 2022. 

 

ANNOUNCEMENT: I am personally endorsing my friend, Mike Gibbons, for Senate in Ohio! Please rush a donation of $20.22, $50, $100, or even more to his campaign today!

I am personally endorsing Mike Gibbons because he is fighting for our shared values and he is a man of principle. 

• Putting an END to Critical Race Theory and cancel culture
• Fighting for an America-First agenda
• Securing our borders 
• Standing up for the Second Amendment and for the rights of the unborn

You know what I like most about Mike Gibbons? He is not a politician and has worked hard all of his life and achieved the American Dream. 

Growing up, he had a paper route. Later, he operated a bandsaw on a factory floor in Ohio. He poured concrete. He sacrificed and worked hard to create a livelihood and provide for his family. 

It wasn’t until age 37 he opened up his own business above a dentist’s office. Since then, Mike Gibbons has achieved success beyond his wildest dreams. 

Now, he’s decided to run for Senate to fight for the Bill of Rights, an America-First agenda, and for liberty.

What’s at stake? The left is attempting to rewrite American history, silence our voices, and control our schools. 

The reality is I need back up in the U.S. Senate against Biden and his cronies to stop this madness.

Sen. Paul then makes another fund-raising pitch for Mr. Gibbons, and should you be interested in looking into Mr. Gibbons's campaign, click here.

From Cleveland.com:

About 14,000 registered voters in Beachwood, Broadview Heights, Richmond Heights and Cleveland’s Wards 7 and 15 will have to vote in new locations when they cast ballots in Tuesday’s special primary election, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections said Friday.

The primary will determine the Democratic and Republican nominees to fill the congressional seat that Democratic former U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge of Warrensville Heights vacated to head the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,

CDC : another about-face on COVID "guidelines"

Here’s Tony Perkins at Patriot Post

CDC: Why Mask? Don’t Ask

The CDC’s latest decision “is just going to create more vaccine hesitancy. It’s going to backfire.”

On Tuesday, new CDC guidance directed vaccinated persons to wear masks indoors over most of the country, and urged everyone in K-12 schools to wear masks in the fall. The guidance reversed the rules the CDC issued earlier this year, which recognized that people vaccinated against COVID-19 do not need to wear masks because they are immune, at least to its most harmful effects.

“Why do people who have the vaccine need to now wear masks the same as people who have not had it?” That’s the question Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. Psaki’s response was telling, “Because the public health leaders in our administration have made the determination.” That response was not much different from a parent looking upon a questioning child with, “because I said so.” But there is one big difference, Americans aren’t children, we are rational adults with a responsibility to hold the government accountable. Why won’t the Biden administration give us a straight answer?

Apparently, because they don’t have one.  . . .

Full report is here.

RELATED:  And here's Nick Arama at RedState : “Get Ready for the Whiplash With What CDC Director Says About 'Two Weeks'” [my emphasis]

Here we go all over again.

The CDC has flipped and is once again recommending that people go back to wearing masks, even if fully vaccinated, in areas where the Delta variant is “surging” (which they are defining as most of the country). As my colleague Kate Paul Dillon wrote earlier, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky claimed data showed some vaccinated people could be infected with the Delta variant and spread it to others, but didn’t show her work as to that data.

Walensky was making the round on the shows and it was like a throwback to last year in what they were trying to sell us.

According to the AP, Dr. Walensky told “CBS This Morning” something that may sound awfully familiar.

“We can halt the chain of transmission,” she said. “We can do something if we unify together, if we get people vaccinated who are not yet vaccinated, if we mask in the interim, we can halt this in just a matter of a couple of weeks.”

Oh, my, suddenly, we’re back to “15 days to slow the spread” more than a year later. We were told that 16 months ago. How did that work out when we acceded to that before?  . . .

LeBron Graffiti

Citizen Free Press has the image:

AKRON, Ohio — Vandals defaced a mural dedicated to LeBron James and his role in the Space Jam sequel. The unidentified vandal spray-painted the words “LA FLOP” across the mural Monday, along with a red clown nose, Akron police spokesman Lt. Michael Miller said.

. . .

2016 seems so far away.  Sad.

Masks or injections? What works?

 

JD Rucker at The Liberty Daily:

. . .  this particular Tweet by The Blaze’s Daniel Horowitz stands alone. In response to the unhinged actions by the CDC to reverse themselves on mask guidelines, Horowitz said this:

Only the sick governing elites can look you in the eye with a straight face and force experimental injections on u because masks didn’t work while simultaneously forcing masks on you because the injections didn’t work.

Boom.

So-o-o-o this is all Kabuki Theater.

Americans, Choose Freedom and Take Off the Mask

 

Michael Walsh posted his commentary “Americans, Choose Freedom and Take Off the Mask” at The Epoch Times. Here’s the opening:

In the midst of an 8,000-mile car trip around the formerly United—and now fractured—States of America, I arrived in Southern California a couple of weeks ago, just in time to fall victim to an indoor mask mandate jackbooted by Los Angeles County in the interests of leftist conformity, virtue signaling, and general fascist stupidity.

From New England, where my journey started, to central Florida and back again, thence from the Northeast to the Golden State by way of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, my drive was almost entirely mask-free, except for the occasional “Karen” sightings, sporting their slave muzzles as badges of submissive honor. It wasn’t until I got to Gallup, New Mexico, that masks and their ugly companions, closed restaurants taped up like crime scenes, became evident.

And then I got to Los Angeles—and once again, here in sunny SoCal, I got a glimpse into America’s future, unless we finally put an emphatic stop to this unconstitutional and irrational madness. To put it in terms that even an Antifa progressive can understand, and which conservatives need to adopt, we need to start resisting by any means necessary.

The collapse of personal autonomy and individual agency in the face of an onslaught of punitive, soul-corroding COVID-19 restrictions has been perhaps the most frightening and depressing development in modern American history. Given its minuscule—barely a blip above normal—death toll, COVID-19 is as close to a hoax as can be imagined. Advertised relentlessly as the second coming of the Black Death, it is instead the New Coke of viral diseases.

The damage it has done, however, is still considerable—not to the nation’s health but to its economy and, more important, to its psyche. Our country of yeoman farmers began disappearing into urbanism in the aftermath of the Civil War, but it was not until the twin catastrophes of World Wars I and II that authoritarian collectivism began to supplant personal initiative and liberty.

The postwar injection of Marxist poison by the red-diaper scholars of the Frankfurt School into our educational system is now serving to finish the transformation of our country into a third-rate, 1930s socialist fantasy.

. . .

Mr. Walsh expands on his comments here.  He is particularly critical of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Trump rally in Phoenix last Saturday: Rumble livestream

 

Last weekend, President Donald J. Trump headlined a TurningPoint USA rally in Phoenix. Our household was unable to watch it live, but we linked to the Rumble livestream and watched it yesterday evening.  We were especially interested to hear Trump mention “communism” by name a few times, LeBron James, America Last, and the team formerly known as the Cleveland Indians.  And of course he talked about election fraud. This Rumble link here allows you to move back and forth if you so choose:

Nick Arama at Red State posted a good report of the event, "Trump Eviscerates the Democrats in Rip-Roaring Rally in Arizona," and it is much shorter.

Hillsdale College's 1776 curriculum

 

Mike LaChance at Legal Insurrection has a good report, even though it’s via Politico:

Note how the liberal site Politico frames Hillsdale College as “Christian” and cites its “deep ties” to the Trump administration. That aside, this curriculum looks pretty good, and it’s free.

Trump ally Hillsdale College pitches 1619 Project counterweight

A small Christian college with deep ties to the Trump administration released a “1776 curriculum” on Wednesday, the latest push to continue former President Donald Trump’s mission to create a “patriotic education.”

The nearly 2,400 pages of curriculum from Hillsdale College in Michigan includes lessons on the founding of the U.S., the Civil War and the American government. The college has long been in favor of a civics education that focuses on America’s strength rather than its ills and supported curriculum that is less critical of the U.S. Larry Arnn, the college’s president, led the Trump administration’s 1776 Commission, which Trump appointed members to during his last few weeks in office. It was later disbanded by the Biden administration but continued to meet.

The curriculum marks another turn in the national debate over teachings that focus on racism’s role in America’s past and present.

The left-leaning bias in this report is pretty obvious, but it still gets out the mission of the 1776 curriculum.  “Lessons on the founding of the U.S., the Civil War and the American government” – all good when not infected with Critical Race Theory and America-bashing.

For the Hillsdale 1776 curriculum website; click here. Share it with your local school boards, staff, family members ….

More on COVID vaccine mandates

 

JD Rucker at NOQ published an informative analysis on the latest vaccine mandates cropping up worldwide:

The Various Lies About the Delta Variant
Set the Stage for Draconian Vaccine Mandates

The Delta Variant of Covid-19 is a lie. No, I’m not suggesting it doesn’t exist. It’s real, and it’s just as dangerous as the previous variants of Covid-19. That means unless you’re elderly or have major preexisting conditions that make you extremely vulnerable to pulmonary infections of any sort, the Delta Variant has a 99.97% recovery rate. Depending on the study du jour, some will say it’s more transmissible but less deadly than the other variants.

Why, then, is it be propped up as another existential threat to humanity that requires totalitarianism and other radical measures to fight? Our readers likely already know the answer or can extrapolate it from the headline. This is all about the fear necessary to compel the masses to self-suppress their rights, accept whatever “guidance” is given to them by government, and pressure their friends, family, and even strangers to get injected.

. . .

Is the Delta Variant truly much more dangerous than previous ones? The numbers do not back it as cases are going up but deaths are not. This indicates what we stipulated earlier, that the new variant is more transmissible but less deadly. But as the old saying goes, if you torture the numbers long enough you can make them say anything. According to an article from Global Research, mainstream media is torturing the numbers in one of the most egregious scare propaganda campaigns we’ve seen throughout the Covid-19 ordeal, and that’s saying a lot.

There is a lot more about the “science” and the elite politics of these mandates in the complete report here.

For those of you who might be interested in an in-depth interview with Dr. Peter McCullough on the subjects of COVID, vaccines, and therapeutics, here is the link to Mark Wauck’s site, Meaning In History.

Chief Wahoo on unemployment

To follow up on yesterday's news announcing the Cleveland Guardians, here's the Babylon Bee with another good one:

Unemployment Up 800% Among Ethnic Mascots

And from Paula Bolyard at PJ Media:

RIP Cleveland Indians:
Brave New Name Will Honor Traffic Pillars
on a Crumbling Bridge

. . . The name change depresses me. I’m sad that my grandkids will never know the joy of cheering for the Cleveland Indians—like their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents before them. If they even bother to watch the team, they’ll be cheering for a stupid traffic pillar. I feel the same way I did when Art Modell up and moved the Cleveland Brown to Baltimore in 1995, leaving fans with an empty stadium and the rights to the name. A part of our collective history died that day and the team has never really recovered. “The Move” joined a long and storied line of disappointments for Cleveland fans (there’s an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to the topic). But it’s more than just the Indians’ name change. Our history is being erased by a small minority of noisy activists, statue by statue, logo by logo, name by name. They’re using 1984 as an instruction manual to shove our entire history down the Memory Hole. Meanwhile, their fellow travelers are inundating our schools with fake history, heavy on social manipulation and light on education.

I refuse to accept the premise that I’m a racist because I love the Cleveland Indians—the name, the logo, and Chief Wahoo. I’m sick and tired of having my motives called into question at every turn because of my skin color. I will never EVER cheer for the Cleveland Guardians. Instead, I’ll join the many loyal Tribe fans who will no doubt continue to cheer for the Indians. And we’ll wear our black-market Wahoo gear proudly, celebrating the history of the team and the bravery of our Native American brothers and sisters.

I grew up with the Cleveland Indians, and when I read the change to “Guardians” – I made no connection between that name and these “guardians on the Hope Memorial bridge.  No, it's just another politically correct decision that will sadden and irritate the fans. 

# # #

Out: Indians. In: Guardians.

Out: Indians.  In: Guardians.

That's the Twitchy announcement.  The Cleveland Guardians.   Synonyms:  Protectors, Godparents, Custodians, Caretakers, Keepers, Wardens, Guards, Sentinels.  Such fun words for nicknames and mascots, huh?   Say goodbye to the Tribe and Chief Wahoo.

Doctors on vaccines & COVID-19

 

Tired of the seemingly endless headlines on COVID and the vaccines?  They are not going away anytime soon.  In the current issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Marilyn M. Singleton, M.D., J.D. provides an overview of why she is skeptical:

COVID-19: A Weapon to Fundamentally Transform America

An old Russian operating room joke says: Did you know that in Russia tonsillectomies are done transrectally? No, why? People are afraid to open their mouths!

Sadly, this joke could be describing the new America. What has happened? Why have we collectively lost our minds? And what has COVID-19 got to do with it? While Americans have been asleep at the wheel, the power brokers were manipulating us into constant societal unrest, with dwindling individual liberties and growing dependency on the government and big corporations. COVID-19 has been a handy justification for left-leaning politicians to promote and solidify their ideology. What many Americans were led to believe was well-intentioned concern for our safety and health has turned into a morass of ever-changing rules designed not for our health, but to accustom us to government control of our lives.

The collectivist political philosophy that has been simmering in America for years may be coming to fruition. We will recover from the COVID-19 disease, but will we recover from the attendant malignant policy changes?

. . . 

The full article is here.  It is quite long but worth the time.  In a related story, Allan Stein at the Epoch Times reports:

An internet survey by a non-partisan physicians’ association found that most respondents have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or plan to get the shot.

In the June 16 online survey by the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) in Tuscon, Arizona, nearly 60 percent of over 700 both retired and practicing physicians said they were not fully vaccinated and would decline the shots based on their assessment of risk.

“This contrasts with the claim by the American Medical Association that 96 percent of practicing physicians are fully vaccinated. This was based on 300 respondents,” the AAPS stated in a press release.

While neither survey represents a random sample of all U.S. physicians, the AAPS survey shows that doctor support for the mass injection campaign “is far from unanimous.”

“It is wrong to call a person who declines a shot an ‘anti-vaxxer,’” AAPS Executive Director Jane Orient said in a statement. “Virtually no physicians are ‘anti-antibiotics’ or ‘anti-surgery,’ whereas all are opposed to treatments that they think are unnecessary, more likely to cause harm than to benefit an individual patient, or inadequately tested.”

The survey also showed that 58 percent of the practicing physicians who responded were aware of patients suffering a “significant adverse reaction” after receiving a COVID vaccine.

Orient said most unvaccinated physicians had made their decision based on their assessment that the risk of taking the shots exceeds the risk of the disease, with many responding that they had already contracted COVID-19.

Other reasons for declining the shots included unknown long-term side effects, use of fetal cell lines for vaccine testing, the experimental nature of the injections, other effective early treatments, and reports of deaths and blood clots.

The NFL is destroying itself

 

Derek Hunter at Townhall has thoughts:

The NFL is a private business and they’re free to commit economic suicide any time and any way they so choose, I couldn’t care less from that standpoint. But the idea that any organization that wants my support, and more to the point my money and time, would embrace the idea that there is such a thing as a “black national anthem” and expect me to be cool with it, shows I’ve probably waited too long to walk away. 

. . .

Now the league that prided itself on integrating years before baseball is embracing the segregation it rejected in the past. They’ll now play the national anthem and the “black national anthem” before each game, as well as badger fans with left-wing political messages of victimhood and division. I don’t think there’s a big audience for pampered athletes lecturing their audience about how awful the country, and by extension they are, while those athletes make more for 3 hours of work on a Sunday than the people watching on TV do in a year. Maybe I’m wrong, but last year’s ratings collapse suggests otherwise. 

The NFL doesn’t care all that much because a large percentage of their revenue is through corporate sponsorship. 

The full article is here.  We all know die-hard football fans; heck, some conservatives are die-hard football fans.  But if you are passionate about the sport, how do you reconcile that with a passion for the American National Anthem?

The Biden Regime Has Made Us All Enemies of the State

 

J.B. Shurk at American Thinker (cross-posted at NOQ Report) starts off:

How can you tell we're slipping under the yoke of totalitarianism?  The New York Times has declared that the word "freedom" is merely an "anti-government slogan," and the Biden regime refuses to condemn Cuba's communist police state, even as it "disappears" Cuban dissidents during live video feeds.  I don't know how much clearer the State and its "news" propagandists can be.  If "freedom" is a dirty little word as meaningless as "hope and change," then everything upon which the United States of America has been built is dead, and if the Obama-Biden cabal running the White House find common cause with the same Castro-Guevara mass murderers who have tortured and summarily executed innocent Cubans in the name of "revolution" for sixty years, then the federal government cannot be trusted.  

This isn't a surprise to anyone paying attention.  Two months ago, the U.S. State Department draped embassies around the world with Black Lives Matter flags, and today BLM has pledged its allegiance to the communist Cuban regime while blaming the U.S. for Cuba's island prison of poverty, violence, and repression.  There has never been any doubt that BLM is a Marxist organization intent on destroying American freedoms, yet Democrats, corporate boards, and even Mitt Romney have sung its praises for years.  Hanging those insidious BLM flags on American consulates overseas was tantamount to hanging the hammer and sickle over the stars and stripes.  Their meaning was self-evident: the U.S. is under new Marxist management.  Still, too many corporate sellouts and political backstabbers honored BLM as some sort of paragon for civil rights, even as its members routinely engage in arson, larceny, intimidation, and murder.  

Now that BLM has made its allegiance to America's communist enemies abundantly clear, will any of those corporate or political invertebrates walk back their support for BLM's pro-Castro movement?  Surely not.  They've chosen a side; they're totalitarian appeasers now, giving aid and comfort to those who wish America harm.  Is that too harsh?  Is it unfair to accuse American companies and politicians of casting their lot with the intellectual heirs of Stalin and Mao?  A man should be judged by his deeds, not his words, but as far as I can see, none of these pro-BLM sycophants has done or said anything while the Biden administration embraces Cuba's police state tactics here at home.  Their inaction speaks volumes.

Josh Mandel or Mike Gibbons for U.S. Senate ?

 

This blog previously reported on two candidates for the U.S. Senate, Jane Timken and Josh Mandel – to replace retiring RINO Rob Portman.  Both campaigns are attempting to run on President Trump’s coat-tails.  This was the envelope containing the first solicitation from Mandel's campaign a month or two ago:

Apparently the Mandel campaign has now backed off, as Mr. Trump’s name does not appear in his most recent solicitation, which our household received last week. But instead of having Trump’s name (and implied endorsement) on the envelope, look at what’s at the top of his letterhead:

"America First" appears prominently --  twice -- on President Trump’s office website here. 

Some Ohio liberty groups are endorsing Mandel. Cleveland Tea Party traditionally does not state a preference until after the primary, but prior to the primary, we would not support Mr. Mandel’s candidacy; see also here. We’re still looking at Mike Gibbons.

Ohio Special Election on August 3

 

Mark your calendar.  From Ballotpedia:

A special election to fill the seat representing Ohio's 11th Congressional District in the U.S. House will be held in 2021. Primaries are scheduled for August 3, 2021. The general election will be held November 2, 2021. The filing deadline was May 5, 2021.^[4]

The special election was called after Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) was confirmed as secretary of housing and urban development in President Joe Biden's (D) administration. The Senate voted 66-34 to confirm Fudge on March 10, 2021.^[5]

The primary will occur on August 3, 2021. The general election will occur on November 2, 2021. General election candidates will be added here following the primary.

There are 10 candidates running in the Democrat Party primary.  According to Conservative Angle and OAN:

The special election in Ohio’s 11th district has heated up as Democrats duke it out for who will succeed recently confirmed Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge.

Big names have stepped in to endorse either side of the Democrat campaign. Hilary Clinton has voiced her support for moderate Cuyahoga County Democrat Party Chair Shontel Brown. Where progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) have endorsed former co-chair of the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign Nina Turner.

The race has become a proxy battle for the future of the Democrat Party, however, whether it will trend progressive or hold its establishment roots in the years to come.

There are two Republican Party candidates running in the primary, Laverne Gore and Felicia Ross.  Cuyahoga County always votes blue, so neither (R) candidate probably stands a chance.  Still, everyone needs to vote.

It’s too bad those of us in the 11^th District cannot vote for Ruth Edmonds in the 15^th district, but if you’re in Columbus, you can.  This household watched a brief interview with her on (sorry) Fox, and she was a refreshing conservative, all for faith, family, and community.

Martin Luther King Jr. and Critical Race Theory

 

MLK memorial in DC

A report at Big League Politics presented some information about MLK and Critical Race Theory – information that was news to me.  Here’s an extract:

A popular talking point from conservatives is that critical race theory (CRT), the racist pseudo-historical doctrine being pushed throughout society by the Radical Left, would be rejected by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. if he were alive today.

However, King’s own daughter vehemently disagrees with that assessment.

. . .

Conservatives may be triggered by Bernice King’s comments but they are historically accurate. The facts show that MLK Jr. was a communist-affiliated huckster who paved the way for blood libels like CRT to take root in America and destroy the country. What few people understand is that many of MLK Jr.’s seminal speeches and writings were either plagiarized or written by Soviet pawn and Communist Party USA organizer Stanley Levison. Levison knew that the notion of civil rights for minorities would eventually be expanded by left-wing attorneys to tear at the Bill of Rights and make America completely unrecognizable. His vision has now been realized.

. . .

“There are forty million poor people here, and one day we must ask the question, “Why are there forty million poor people in America?” And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy,” King Jr. said in an Aug. 1967 speech, demonstrating his incredible ignorance on basic economics.

. . .

Before conservatives stopped trying to understand the truth behind issues, they understood that MLK Jr. was a communist figure promoted by the globalist establishment to undermine American unity. This is why former president Ronald Reagan had serious reservations about creating MLK Jr. Day as a national holiday in the 1980s.

. . .

In recent years, MLK Jr.’s lascivious exploits have been revealed to the public as well, showing him as being involved in countless orgies with prostitutes, coercing his own parishioners into illicit sex affairs and laughing as a colleague raped a woman in a hotel room. The fact that this individual has been deified by conservatives, most of whom refuse to address any of the facts about MLK Jr.’s true character, shows exactly why the movement has failed to conserve much of anything over the years.

Don’t Open The Door!

Victoria Taft at PJ Media has the terrifying report:

IT'S HAPPENING: Biden Is Sending Community Organizers
Door-to-Door With COVID Shots

Joe Biden wasn’t kidding. When his spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the Biden administration would send people door-to-door to convince people to get the COVID shot, there was a chill sent down the spines of freedom-loving Americans everywhere. Many people took it as a threat.

But now those door-to-door COVID-shot salespeople are here and they’ve brought back-up: injectors.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra says, “We’ll go to you. If you want to get vaccinated, we’ll go to you.”

And so they are.

In North Carolina, health officials are using a far-Left community organizing group to go to COVID-shot-hesitant areas to “educate and encourage” people to get a shot. If someone indicates they’ll get a COVID shot, the organizers, who usually register people to vote for Democrats, call an accompanying health department injector to administer the shot on the spot.

The medical director for the Mecklenburg County Health Department, Dr. Meg Sullivan, says that the percentage of people with COVID shots “just isn’t as high as it needs to be. We need these innovative ways.”

So the innovative way is a Fuller-Brush-man-we’ll-sell-you-meat-off-the-truck-I-can-fix-your-bad-driveway-right-now approach.

In this case, instead of a hair brush, chicken wings, or a jackhammer, they come with an injector to give people a COVID shot right now.

Think Piece of The Day: Victor Davis Hanson

 

This blog is a huge fan of Victor David Hanson. His perspectives as a specialist in classical history always gets my attention.  In his column at American Greatness, ("Trump Winds and Biden Whirlwinds"), he starts off:

Victimizers quickly becoming victims is a recurrent theme of Thucydides’ history. In his commentary on the so-called stasis at Corcyra, he offers his most explicit warning about the long-term dangers of destroying legal institutions, customs, and traditions that serve the common good for short-term gain. 

The historian notes that in the inevitable yin and yang of politics, the destroyers inevitably will seek, but do so in vain, refuge in what they have destroyed. Between 2017 and 2021 the Left has done exactly that. 

. . .

What was the catalyst that turned a left-wing Democratic Party into a cultural revolutionary mob? In other words, why in our 233rd year of the republic are Democrats so intent to destroy the Electoral College, pack the court, admit new states to the Union, junk the filibuster, and federalize national election laws? What was so wrong with assimilation, integration, intermarriage, the “content of our character,” and race as incidental rather than essential to who we are? What has the woke revolution offered us instead?

What are the lasting consequences of all this madness? 

The Left should hope that House Republicans are Marquess of Queensberry players and do not emulate the Democrats’ behavior.
