Harvard graduate and Daily Caller social media director Emma Heussner went viral Sunday for walking out of Merrick Garland’s commencement speech.
Heussner posted that she “just walked out of Harvard’s graduation because I didn’t want to listen to Merrick Garland talk about himself for 30 minutes,” but what she did hear was “pretty rich.”
[ . . .]
Before posting her video, Heussner had roughly 1,600 followers on Twitter. That number is fast approaching 10,000. When asked what prompted her to leave the ceremony, she said, “I had been sitting there for more than two hours listening to people speak in Latin, give cordial formalities. By the time Merrick Garland got on stage, I was so anxious to leave and meet up with my parents. They’re the ones who helped me accomplish what I have and supported me to get to Harvard in the first place.”
“Choosing to walk out was an easy decision for me,” she said.
The decision was only made easier when Heussner heard part of the speech, “Even overhearing his speech as I walked out, it was pretty rich to hear about how ‘awful’ our country is and what we as graduates should do about it, given that he’s the one in an incredible position of power to who gets immediate results from the decisions he makes.”
Former Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro was arrested today for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the Democrats’ committee investigating the protests of January 6, 2021:
Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro contested the charges against him in federal court in Washington, DC, on Friday, after he was arrested by the FBI on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying the January 6 committee.
…He confirmed that he had been arrested while boarding a domestic flight, and placed into “handcuffs” and “leg irons.”
Navarro had offered to cooperate with the investigation, but is challenging the legality of the committee’s actions in court:
Outside the courthouse, he told reporters that he had offered the FBI a “modus vivendi” of cooperation last week, but that they had arrested him at the airport instead, in the manner of “Stalinist Russia or the Chinese Communist Party.” He described his treatment by the FBI as “terrorism” and “coercion” and as a form of punishment and intimidation.
Navarro also outlined his constitutional arguments against the legitimacy of the January 6 committee, which he is suing in federal court, arguing that it is asking him to violate executive privilege and violating the Constitution’s separation of powers.
Actually, refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas is rather common. Remember when Eric Holder, Barack Obama’s “wing man,” did the same thing?
The House has voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holderin contempt of Congress over his failure to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal, the first time Congress has taken such a dramatic move against a sitting Cabinet official.
The vote was 255-67, with 17 Democrats voting in support of a criminal contempt resolution, which authorizes Republicans leaders to seek criminal charges against Holder. *** In a statement released by his office, Holder blasted the contempt votes as “politically motivated” and “misguided”…
And, of course, you remember when the FBI arrested Holder and put him in leg irons on the same charge that is being brought against Navarro. No, wait…
Navarro told the court today that he would represent himself rather than hiring a lawyer. But the biggest problem he faces is not the absence of counsel, it is the fact that his case will go before a jury of D.C. Democrats.
In 1984, George Orwell essentially predicted the internet, envisioning a world in which all information is stored electronically. Winston Smith’s Ministry of Truth job has him recovering back issues of The Times and “correcting” to Big Brother’s past predictions to align with present realities. Someone at the BBC was taking notes because, in an article quoting a rape victim, the BBC altered to “they/them” the masculine pronouns she used when talking about her rapist because the rapist claims to be “transgender.” Understanding why the BBC did this is important if we want to understand the latest phase in the leftist war on the West.
The quote, given by an anonymous lesbian, initially read: “I was too young to argue and had been brainwashed by queer theory, so he was a ‘woman’ even if every [fiber] of my being was screaming throughout, so I agreed to go home with him. He used physical force when I changed my mind upon seeing his penis and raped me.”
A source for The Times claimed the story first contained all male references, but a heated editorial meeting involving “woke” employees at the news website led to a change of language.
“Some journalists argued that the quote should remain intact, while others said it should reflect the trans woman [sic]’s preferred she/her pronouns,” The Times reported.
The language alterations were done to an October 2021 article discussing how transgender women [sic] believe that lesbians are transphobic because they are typically not romantically, or sexually interested in them.
This was not a situation in which a BBC journalist violated the outlet’s woke policies by properly identifying a “transgender woman” (i.e., a man pretending to be a woman) as “he” or “him.” Instead, the BBC deliberately altered the truth — that the woman quoted used the pronouns “he,” “his,” and “him” — to create an artificial reality consistent with its dystopian mindset.
We’ve long known that the BBC is a propaganda outlet rather than a news organization (something obvious to Israel’s supporters decades ago), so why does this story matter? It matters because it reveals how significant transgenderism, which is ubiquitous today, is to the left. So, again, we must ask “why?” Here’s my best guess about the answer to that question.
Image: God creates Adam and Eve (Master of the Stories of Adam and Eve, 1470-1485); Comune di Ripacandida, Italy.
The new left’s greatest enemy is the Bible. That’s because the Bible and the Western culture flowing from it stand for a few ideas that make it impossible for the left to achieve total dominance:
There is a God. Under leftism, there can be no authority greater than the state, with the anthropomorphism of the state embodied in the current leader (e.g., Kim Jong-un).
There are fixed moral principles: The Ten Commandments do not change according to the political needs of the day or power struggles within the party. Leftism is purely relativistic because morality, like everything else on the left, is tied to power.
The individual has value: The Bible says each of us is created in God’s image, with the corollary being we all have inestimable worth. Socialism, however, is predicated on collectivism, with individuals’ value determined by their utility to the state.
The family unit: The Western biblical tradition is built around the nuclear family, which is the antithesis of the state. In a family, each person matters, and the family unit will fight the state if need be (witness angry mamas at school boards) to protect the family.
All these principles underlie America’s foundational documents: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Leftists tried to destroy the Western biblical tradition by pointing to Western racism. However, religious people ultimately agreed, saying the equivalent of “You know, you’re right because the Bible says we are all equal before God, in whose image we’re made.”
Leftists also tried to use feminism to attack the Western Bible tradition. Again, though, religious people agreed. (“You know, you’re right. Not only are we all equal before God, in whose image we’re made, but Eve came from Adam’s rib, meaning she is neither above nor below him, but equal to him, although different from him.”)
The attack on biological sex, though, may be the one that succeeds in destroying entirely the biblical tradition that underpins our Constitution and everything else that is Western culture. If the left succeeds in undermining the entire concept of sex, there is no way to align that with the Bible.
The Bible is clear: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” and “Male and female created he them; and blessed them[.]” There is no third sex in the Bible. If leftists can succeed in changing reality to “prove” that the Bible is wrong as to the most fundamental aspect of human life and that which flows from it (individualism, morality, family), it has discredited the Bible entirely. Leftism wins.
And that’s why it matters that the BBC committed fraud against its readers by changing the rapist’s pronouns.
The United States has reduced its carbon dioxide emissions more than any other country, primarily by shifting from coal to natural gas as a source of electricity. Our government has applied considerable pressure to kill America’s coal industry, ostensibly to preserve the Earth’s climate.
But other countries haven’t gotten the memo. Energy expert Robert Bryce explains:
[O]ver the past few weeks, China and India have announced plans to increase their domestic coal production by a combined total of 700 million tons per year. For perspective, US coal production this year will total about 600 million tons. *** Adding the 700 million tons of new coal that China and India will be mining to the amount they are now producing leads to some staggering numbers. By the end of next year, China will be producing about 4.4 billion tons of coal per year and India will be mining about 1.2 billion tons. Add those together and you get 5.6 billion tons of coal, which is more than 9 times the amount of coal that will be mined in the U.S. this year.
When it comes to the Earth’s climate, if you believe the global warming models, the U.S. is becoming a relatively minor player. And coal isn’t going away, because it is plentiful and affordable:
Coal persists because it can be used to produce the gargantuan quantities of electricity the world’s consumers need at prices they can afford. Indeed, coal’s share of global electricity generation has stayed at about 35%, since the mid-1980s.
Citizens of developing countries have no intention of remaining poor forever, and for the billions now living in what Bryce calls energy poverty, that means doing whatever it takes to get access to reliable electricity. “Green” hysteria isn’t going to stop them.
Bryce concludes with the obvious inference:
[I]f the countries of the world are serious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing more electricity to the 3 billion people now living in energy poverty, the only way to do it is with nuclear energy and lots of it.
Who is Seth Rich, and why was he murdered? Many media outlets ignored this unsolved murder in D.C. in July 2016. Those who wrote about this suspicious death were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Jack Cashill wrote the best summary of Rich’s murder:
Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington, D.C., street and take nothing. Two weeks later, international man of mystery Julian Assange strongly suggests on Dutch T.V. that Rich was his source for the purloined DNC emails then roiling the Democratic Party.
Many watched the Kabuki Theater of the Deep State unfold over many years with a very jaundiced eye.
[But what if this was a] . . . leak by a disgruntled DNC worker who had physical access to the server and copied the files to a thumb drive or similar. This thumb drive was then handled [sic] directly to a WikiLeaks operative. Julian Assange continues to deny he received the DNC files from the Russians. There is no doubt the Russians, the North Koreans, and the Chinese, and other intel agencies were in Hillary Clinton’s homebrew server. And yet we were assured with high confidence by our intel agencies Russians [sic] operatives did the DNC hack.
With last week’s testimony of Robby Mook (Clinton Campaign Chair) at the Michael Sussmann trial, Hillary Clinton is toast whether Sussmann is convicted or not. The Russian Collusion narrative now should be dead and buried. Real Clear Politics has an excellent summary of the collusion and conspiracy of the players now exposed, including the Clinton campaign that perpetuated the Russian Collusion narrative.
With this new information and the demise of the Russian Collusion narrative, it’s time for a new look at the untimely death of Seth Rich. If the Russians did not hack the DNC server, who did? There was damaging information to the Clinton campaign in this alleged hack. Julian Assange did have information that he later published. However, Assange continues to say it was not the Russians that gave him the data. As Cashill writes, Wikileaks offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Rich’s killer. The damage control by the Clinton campaign was to blame the hack on the Russian Collusion narrative. Was this a disinformation operation by our spooks – CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper et. al.?
The Russian Collusion narrative began from before Donald Trump was elected and continued through his Presidency. The narrative was that Trump was a Russian agent. Hillary Clinton and the Deep State were very kind to the Russians when Hillary was the Secretary of State, notably regarding Uranium One, as reported by the WSJ and the NYT. The Clinton Foundation later received $145 million. Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow. This deal never resulted in any action against Hillary Clinton or the usual suspects.
Before the 2020 election, fifty sycophant spooks lied including Brennan and Clapper in signing a letter to deep-six Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell as Russian disinformation. Our Intel community is hot to get Assange extradited to the U.S. Why? Is it possible the usual suspects are covering for serious felonies they committed before and after the 2016 election? The forensic examination of the DNC server was done by Crowdstrike, hired by the DNC– a yellow flag. The DNC denied the FBI access to the actual DNC servers. A real investigation wouldn’t have allowed this – another big red flag. Again, what if the DNC hack was a local leak delivered by hand to Assange?
Seth Rich reportedly, a Bernie Sanders supporter with IT experience, was working for the DNC. Rich had access to the DNC server. Rich most likely learned that Hillary was sandbagging Sanders. Rich was attacked and shot to death, leaving a bar in a nice area of D.C. late at night. Nothing was taken from Rich in this robbery. The DC Metro P.D. so far has kissed this death off as a random robbery.
The FBI denied any knowledge of Rich’s murder. After a long series of FOIAs by Judicial Watch and others, including suing the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI finally admitted it had files on Rich’s murder. Later the FBI did disclose it had Rich’s laptop. Arguably, a game of cat and mouse with overtones of the FBI lying by omission:
After more than four years of repeated denials from the FBI that they had searched their files and had no information on Seth Rich, we now know that was a blatant lie. It was David Hardy, a FBI Senior official, who put that denial in writing in September 2017. . . . He stated under oath that the FBI had no records on Seth Rich . . .. [source]
FBI has completed the initial search identifying approximately 50 cross-reference serials, with attachments totaling over 20,000 pages, in which Seth Rich is mentioned . . . . FBI is also currently working on getting the files from Seth Rich’s personal Laptop into a format to be reviewed. . . .The goal right now is to describe, generally, the types of files/personal information contained in this computer. [source]
Shades of deep-sixing Hunter Biden’s hard drives by the FBI — also a major red flag. The FBI, DOJ and others in the Deep State haven’t been truthful of late, including doing politically biased investigations, filing fraudulent FISA search warrant affidavits to spy on Trump, investigating parents as domestic terrorists who attended local school board meetings, the “The January 6th ‘Insurrection’ that Wasn’t,” and lastly the meme there was no election fraud in the 2020 election – See 2000 Mules. What about the number of deaths of people in the orbit of the Clintons, including Jeffrey Epstein? Epstein, in my speculation, was an asset running a honey pot operation for some yet unknown intel agency to gather comprising information on the rich and famous [Epstein only got a slap on the wrist in Florida]. If Rich was the leaker, he was a loose end, too, that had to go, as he could expose the Russian Collusion narrative as a lie. A new investigation is warranted into the death of Rich. It must start with Rich’s laptop… if the data hasn’t been destroyed yet. That should be followed by working upwards in the Deep State hierarchies, including the Clinton and Biden families, sweating the henchmen, including Mook, FBI Director James Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Jake Sullivan, and others, regarding any knowledge of the death of Rich. There is no statute of limitations for murder. Murder is generally a state crime; however, the DOJ and FBI do have jurisdiction to investigate Rich’s murder as a potential unindicted predicate offense of a joint venture criminal conspiracy. Rich’s murder and other related potential crimes need to be thoroughly criminally investigated for accountability of the perpetrators, but more importantly for the serious national security concerns by expanding the mandate of Special Counsel John Durham or appointing another special counsel. Since the Obama Administration, in my opinion, there has been an ongoing joint venture criminal conspiracy as described by Kash Patel. This conspiracy includes the Clinton and Biden crime families, with many of the same actors, both foreign and domestic working together for their common self-interested purposes. This conspiracy committed many crimes, against the People of the United States, including a coup of sitting President. It constitutes a coup using an illegal usurpation of power, by treason, mutiny, bribery, frauds, and thefts of public funds, and cover-ups and obstruction of justice committed by a criminal enterprise[s] as defined in Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

Why are so many Jews Democrats? It has been hard to fathom why the Jews, thought by many to be so intelligent and overrepresented in science, medicine, literature, music, and sociology, would embrace Democrat ideology so as to plant the seeds of their own economic and cultural destruction. Jews are voting Democrat in numbers that far outpace Gentiles and people have been wondering why for a very long time. It makes no sense if Jews are as intelligent as they are reputed to be. Democrat ideology works against the best interest of Jews in America.
Seventy-three percent of American Jews say they are liberals who support Democrat candidates. What is puzzling is that you would think their affluence would lead them to choose Republicans, who are far better poised to serve Jews’ economic interests. But no.
One New Jersey rabbi proposed that Jews vote Democrat because it’s in their DNA. Jews were slaves in Egypt, which all good Jewish families still talk about. They were victims of the Holocaust where they were slaughtered wholesale. As a result of this history, it is thought, Jews have historically been motivated by a drive to “do good” in the world. There is no doubt Jews were and are still victims of anti-Semitism, but being a victim should not mean one is beholden to victimhood. Victimhood is how we got where we are today, with ethnic groups warring against white people and each other. Jews don’t have to embrace toxic victimhood in order to remember their history.
Until recently Democrats have always been “for the little guy.” In my own Jewish family that was the case, but that was back in the 50s when socialism and Marxism were mostly hidden from public scrutiny and no one could calculate the socialist damage being done. This is a different time. An acquaintance of mine proposed the notion that it is not in their DNA but in the colleges where this indoctrination toward liberalism and Democrat voting begins. Since Jews have a high rate of college attendance compared with other demographic groups and are exposed to socialist/Marxist ideas there, the college explanation makes some sense.
In 2016, the Pew Center released a study that listed Jewish people as the most educated religious group in the world. In the U.S., another 2001 survey of Jews and college students revealed that of all U.S. Jews, 53% of them identify as liberal or Democrat. Of Jewish college students, 54% are Democrats. By contrast, only 22% of all U.S. Jews identify as conservative, the same percentage of college students who identify as conservative. What is college doing to Jews? Or maybe it is more a case of Jews flocking to liberal colleges; a chicken-egg question, perhaps. (Jordan Peterson thinks that personality type defines if you are a liberal or a conservative. This makes great sense to me, but is another discussion entirely.)
I am not certain that college attendance is the only cause of Jewish liberalism, but it is probably the most likely culprit. Many colleges are festering pustules of regressive socialist/Marxist thinking. Our Jewish youngsters are being groomed intellectually to be perversely liberal.
Malcolm Muggeridge opined that modern man is abolishing himself through education. His famous quote so eloquently and accurately albeit unknowingly predicted why America’s prospects in 2022 look so tenuous:
So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense.
Muggeridge goes on to describe American education and culture, that colleges would become havens not of education but of nihilism and self-absorption:
Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over–a weary, battered old brontosaurus — and became extinct.
Muggeridge, way back then, presciently managed to address many of our present-day problems in one fell swoop: abortion, pornography, unearned affluence, population demographics, drug use, and our pathetic education system. The prospect that Muggeridge is right that the bastions of education are causing this decline in American civilization is turning out to be not just the most reliable answer as to why Jews vote Democrat but also why non-Jews do as well. It is in the education system where young minds are most often shaped, not in the home. If a child raised in a conservative home is sent to public schools at say, four years old, he may well begin to list to port, shaped by forces diametrically opposed to most parental desires. If that child goes to college, the odds of cranking out a shiny new sexually perverse little socialist rise dramatically. Any parent wanting to maintain a child’s conservative and/or Christian upbringing sabotages himself or herself by sending the child to a public indoctrination system or to many colleges. What predisposes Jews to vote for Democrats? When Jews were asked what values and political beliefs drive them, by far the most important thing was “equality.” Not Israel, not persecution, but “equality.” Today, that would mean “equity,” a different animal, but Jews still are voting for Democrats in outsized numbers where they sabotage their own prospects of success. Democrats are not for equality. Just the reverse. Democrats are for some groups doing better than other groups despite qualifications, and Jews are not among the Democrats’ favorite people if judged by some of the more vocally hostile politicians and platforms in our Congress. Jews would do well to realize that the Democrat Party is not their friend and in fact, often stands for ideologies Jews should be seriously against.
There’s an incredible election story developing in Georgia right now — in the same week that the U.S. Federal Government has been forced to admit that Dominion Voting machines (used in all of Georgia’s counties) are vulnerable to hacking and should be fixed!
According to the local paper Decaturish:DeKalb County (GA) just released the results of a hand count in the District 2County Commission primary race — and the hand count revealed such massive discrepancies between the May 24th machine results and the June 1 hand count that it has flipped the race!
Here are the initial May 24th election results.
It’s important to note that these reported results counted 12,639 votes in total for all candidates in the race.
Now look at the results of the hand count released yesterday!
The machines did not count 2,810 votes at all — mostly from Election Day ballots. That’s almost 20% of the total votes that mysteriously disappeared!
The machines also counted only 589 votes for the candidate Michelle Long Spears on May 24th and placed her third in the race but the June 1st hand count discovered 3,491 more votes for her. Suddenly, she’s winning the race.
The winner of the May 24th machine count was Marshall Orson — the hand count reduced his total by 1,298 votes and now he’s in third place. Orson made a very telling statement after the hand count results were announced as well.
The real bombshell is why there was a hand count conducted at all in this race.
It only happened because the candidate Michelle Long Spears took pictures of the precinct-level results and showed them to the local media site Decaturish and those machine “results” showed that Michelle Long Spears was getting zero votes in her own precinct.
In other words: obvious fraud.
Here’s the key section of the Decaturish article.
New and corrupt databases created ! Mistakes in the precinct scanners! Thousands of votes not counted! Thousands of votes miscounted for multiple candidates! Hand counts conducted to correct the machine counts!
Guess what folks: it’s called election fraud using the electronic voting machines.
Theories aplenty are floating about the causes of the increase in mass shootings. The White House and the mainstream media (MSM) have zeroed in on the gun lobby and gun manufacturers. Others point to the physical isolation from the Teachers-Union-abetted world record for remote schooling, and its relationship with mental health problems. Unmentioned is the influence of the racialization of America that commenced early in the pandemic. On May 25, 2020, a Black man who’d ingested huge quantities of illegal drugs died while a White cop restrained him as an angry crowd threatened. Democrats seized this incident as an opportunity to reclaim the White House and dominate government by racially dividing the nation.
The strategy was easy to execute because, unlike many governments that prohibit collecting data on “race” due to prior nefarious applications, the U.S. government collects race data on every form. After May 25, Americans became inundated with unvalidated race-based data. The MSM reported on the racial disproportionality in arrests and incarceration, the chances of dying from COVID, infant mortality, educational outcomes, income, medical treatment, and more. The conclusion: all this disproportionality is due to White supremacy/oppression.
The MSM and social media buried data explaining the drivers of disproportionality. Drivers are primarily tied to Democratic strategies that encouraged the breakdown of traditional families and values. The data also negate the White supremacy/oppression driver. Buried were race-based statistics about disproportionate rates of marriage, children raised by a single mother, obesity, physical activity, commission of crimes, the presence of pre-existing health conditions, vaccination rates, training on sudden infant death syndrome, time spent studying, welfare recipients and discouraged workers, and medical students.
Publishing unopposed claims is un-American. It’s a characteristic of dictatorships but the MSM and social media voluntarily dispensed with journalistic integrity to racialize American and get rid of Trump.
Propaganda notwithstanding, the data on race is meaningless—unless it is given meaning. To explain, look at how the race hustlers have manipulated racist stereotypes using incomplete racial data. According to the left, there are 235 million U.S. residents who are racially White, irrespective of their points of origin from over 100 countries on five continents. These “people of Whiteland” are stereotyped as White privileged oppressors. Likewise, the “people of Blackland,” who number 47 million, come from over 70 countries. They have the racist stereotype of victim and so do the “people of Brownland” and the “people of Mixed-Race land.” These last two categories include 61 million people from 33 countries in Latin America; 24 million from 25 Asian countries; 5 million Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Alaskan natives; and 24 million mixed-race people. To impose blanket racial stereotypes on these many cultures is ludicrous—yet that’s what Democrats do.
In the tragedy of hundreds of mass shootings in America (defined as any shooting with four or more victims in close geographic proximity, a definition that describes hundreds of incidents annually, usually gang related), Democrats and the MSM have again leveraged the racialization strategy. Repetitive felon, Darrell Brooks, who is Black, was raised without a father on welfare. He was an unabashed, uncensored anti-White racist who promoted killing White people. A beneficiary of the post-May 25 law enforcement reforms, Brooks left jail and promptly killed six White people and injured 62 others, using his car as a weapon.
Brooks terrorized the 89% White population in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Still, he wasn’t charged with a hate crime or domestic terrorism, the media downplayed the racial aspects of his crime, and this horrific tragedy had a news life that rivaled reports that Brooks complained of racism in prison, or the April 12 shooting of ten people on a New York City subway by Black nationalist/supremacist Frank James, and the suggestion that murdering innocent White parade goers was justified because they were White supremacists, like all the people of Whiteland.
Significantly, the numerous reports of Buffalo mass murderer Peyton Gendron began with the descriptor “White.” It was easy to surmise he was a privileged supremacist. Like many locked-down kids, he contemplated suicide, grew paranoid about germs, and whiled away his time surfing the internet. His interest centered on White supremacy, and in 2020 and 2021, there was a media obsession with fingering White supremacy for the cause of racial disproportionalities plaguing America. Gendron ended up shooting thirteen people in a grocery store in Buffalo. Eleven were Black and two were White. He was charged with a hate crime and as a domestic terrorist.
There have been over 200 mass shootings so far this year but, unusually, President Biden flew to Buffalo to address the grieving Black community. Focusing on his strategy, he pummeled White supremacism, domestic [White] terrorism, and the White hatred that stains America.
To convincingly build a case for mass shootings and racial hatred, Biden should have flown to Waukesha. Blacks are five times more likely to engage in mass shootings and Blacks disproportionately perpetrate hate crimes to the tune of3:1 versus Whites (a ratio calculated to adjust for Whites being 4.96 times the population of Blacks) and the data on Whites are known to be overstated. “The FBI tabulates suspected offenders by race. This is White, Black, Asian, and American Indian.” Ninety-six percent of Latinos are categorized as White. The data are even more inaccurate because crimes minorities commit against Whites normally aren’t charged as hate crimes.
Notwithstanding known gross data inaccuracies, recorded hate crimes against Whites, Blacks, and Asians were up a minimum of 25%, and cross-racial murders were up similarly, following what Biden disingenuously called the unifying post-Floyd events. Skyrocketing hate is a foreseeable but inadvertent outcome of the racialization strategy.
Why do Blacks commit so many hate crimes? Is it far-fetched to say they can’t escape the daily indoctrination of being victims of White oppressors? Or the prophecies of government-aligned and -feted Ibram X Kendi teaching racism cures racism? His teachings undergird Project 1619 and Critical Race Theory, both of which support the Democrat’s racialization strategy.
Salvador Ramos was, like many boys, raised without his dad’s presence. He was a high-school dropout, a welfare kid, his parents had criminal records, and he became a criminal. He murdered twenty-one, mostly children. Seventeen were brown Latinos, and two were “non-Hispanic White.”
If children hadn’t been involved, this horrific event would have been just another mass shooting in America briefly covered by the local media. Whoopi Goldberg explained how non-racist mass casualties were less bad, a claim she supported with reference to the Holocaust. In fact, almost all victims and descendants (99%) of victims of genocides, ethnic cleansings, and massacres have the same race as their oppressors. This is also true of most of the 200+ mass murders in America in 2022. Most victims and oppressors are Black. Most people don’t know this because Goldberg, the MSM, and Democrats all hew to a party line to prevent damage to their strategy if Americans were informed of the realities of non-race-based mass murders.
As if trapped in the 1950s, the Democrats’ strategy has a Black and White framework (Blacks as victims of White oppressors). Brown people don’t fit the strategy. Indeed, they are a distraction. Their descendants weren’t enslaved or Jim Crowed in America. Worse, Latinos and Blacks are hardly brothers and sisters in arms. Mutual animosities tied to competition for jobs and other resources and long histories of cross-racism are rife.
The distraction of browns is something that irked former President Obama so much that he endeavored to shift the nation’s sympathies from Uvalde to the origins of the racialization strategy: a Black man killed by a White cop. Biden responded with an executive order to further discredit policing when race-driven anti-police reforms are a contributing factor to the increase in mass shootings.
Of all the changes that can influence the drivers of mass shootings, ending the racialization strategy is the easiest and most powerful. American children and adults have no concept of what it means to be American anymore. America is the world’s leading anti-racist nation, but Americans don’t know that. The government and MSM have fashioned America into an irredeemable racist pariah. Instead of a land of opportunity, America is painted more like Russia: a land of shameful oppressors and hopeless victims. The MSM and social media need to drop their slavish bias in support of Democratic strategies and return to journalistic integrity. This embodies American values, and it will be unifying at a time when America and Americans need it more than ever.
Politico reports on another reasons for Democrats to worry about the upcoming midterms. In deep blue California the number of ballots being returned in primaries is looking low so far.
After this week’s break in the primary calendar, seven states will hold elections on Tuesday. In the biggest of them, California, Democrats are already looking at some troubling early turnout numbers: So far, only about 2.2 million Californians have returned ballots. That’s less than a third of the total early vote at this point in California’s recall election last year.
Primary turnout is traditionally a poor indicator of general election turnout. But Paul Mitchell, a leading political data expert in California, says Democrats have reason to be concerned this year.
Mitchell, who works with Democratic campaigns says everything that can be done to make voting easier in California has been done. And yet, it looks like many Democrats just aren’t feeling motivated right now. He sees that as a potential cause for concern, at least when it comes to congressional races this fall.
At the top of the ticket, it probably doesn’t matter. I would expect the Democrats to be the top vote getters in all these statewide primary elections. And unless something goes awry, they’re probably all going to have easily beatable Republican opponents, and those races are not going to be competitive.
Where Democrats do need to worry is those competitive congressional districts…
If there’s nothing interesting on the statewide ballot in the 2022 general and voters aren’t enthusiastic, just like they are here now in this primary, then, in those kinds of elections, Republicans could win some of these seats…
Democrats nationally need to be looking at California and saying, How do we kind of jolt the electorate into caring about this election cycle and turning out?
I’m not sure what Mitchell has in mind but I think a case can be made that voters are already feeling pretty jolted. We’ve had a leaked Roe v Wade draft decision, a series of mass shootings and high inflation that has gas prices setting new record highs every day. The problem for Democrats is that they can’t really do much about any of those issues. Sure, Biden can meet with the Fed chair and talk about inflation but as he admits it’s really up to the Fed to do something and that will take months.
Similarly, he can be shocked and outraged by the end of Roe but that’s in the hands of the Supreme Court. There’s not much he can do about it and there’s even less a freshman member of the House from California could do.
And then there are the mass shootings we’ve seen in the past two weeks. Biden gave a speech tonight vowing to “do something” about that. “For god’s sake, how much more carnage are we willing to accept,” Biden said. And that brought him to his plan: “We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. And if we can’t ban assault weapons then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21.”
Before the speech was over, Biden made an explicit call to elect Democrats this fall. “If Congress fails, I believe this time a majority of the American people won’t give up either,” he said. “I believe the majority of you will act to turn your outrage into making this issue central to your vote. Enough. Enough. Enough.”
Would banning AR-15s have prevented any of these attacks? It’s impossible to know the answer to a counterfactual question like that but we do know the Tulsa shooter bought a pistol days before he bought an AR and he used both during his attack. Would it have mattered if he or the Uvalde shooter only had handguns? I think the long delayed response by the Uvalde police may have mattered as much or more, but at this moment people don’t want to hear that, especially people on the left.
I guess we’ll see if it works. People really are horrified by what has happened and many just want to see something change even if there’s no guarantee it will stop the next deranged shooter. Maybe Democrats can ride this issue to victory in some places this fall. Then again, desperation is never very attractive and I think we’re seeing a bit of political desperation from Democrats right now.
Muggeridge goes on to describe American education and culture, that colleges would become havens not of education but of nihilism and self-absorption:
