THERE’S NOTHING MORE PATHETIC THAN WOKE TEENAGERS BEING LIONIZED BY THE ADULTS WHOSE CATCHPHRASES THEY PARROT: “Anyone who doubts that the green movement is morphing into a millenarian cult should take a close look at Greta Thunberg. This poor young woman increasingly looks and sounds like a cult member. The monotone voice. The look of apocalyptic dread in her eyes. The explicit talk of the coming great ‘fire’ that will punish us for our eco-sins. There is something chilling and positively pre-modern about Ms Thunberg. One can imagine her in a sparse wooden church in the Plymouth Colony in the 1600s warning parishioners of the hellfire that will rain upon them if they fail to give up their witches.”

OPEN THREAD: So there.

NOT COOL, PEGGY: Noonan blames Trump for the attempted coup. Don Surber is not amused, and delivers an old-fashioned Fisking. “Hers is a cry from Versailles for Sloppy Joe Biden to save them from this Orange Man who wants to Make America Great Again. . . . Noonan’s column is like a plantation owner in the 1870s longing for a return to the Antebellum South.”

FLASHBACK: When Menachem Begin Eviscerated Joe Biden For Threatening Him. “I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

Plus: “After the meeting, Mr. Begin said: ‘I enjoyed the session very much. I believe in liberty, that free men should freely discuss problems and if they have differences of opinion they should voice them in sincerity.'”
