OR IF YOU PREFER, THE AGE OF THE MASKS FALLING DOWN:  The Age of Trump.

ON THE OTHER ONE I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE SENSING TROUBLE ON THE WAY:  The Davos Death Cult’s Bad Moon Rising.

And that we’re in for heavy weather, much less that one eye will be taken for an eye.

OH, PLEASE. MARIE ANTOINETTE WAS WELL EDUCATED AND PROBABLY SMART:  Our New Antoinettes .

Yes, I know what the popular image is, but our would be “elites” are just ignorant sluts, males and females both.

THE GOVERNMENT CLASSIFIED ALL IMMIGRANTS FROM EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST AS WHITE AND STILL DOES: How American Jews Stayed White. However:

That said, a change may be in the offing. The Biden administration is considering amending America’s racial classification scheme to include a classification for “Middle East and North African.” This classification would include Jews who immigrated from that region, Israelis, and some fraction of Ashkenazi Jews who consider themselves more “Middle Eastern” by religion, culture, and genetics than European.

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED: Why are online motorcycle forums drying up and dying?

As is obvious with the headline, this is a motorcycle forum-themed article. But anybody who has seen their favorite hobbyist Websites go from having huge active memberships producing loads of updated content to, in recent years, shrivel down to just a few remaining diehards, will relate to everything being described here.

GREAT MOMENTS IN PANDERING: Jill Biden Tells Texas Hispanics They Are as ‘Unique as the Breakfast Tacos’ During Speech in San Antonio.

First Lady Jill Biden told a group of progressive Texas Hispanic voters they were as “unique” as “breakfast tacos” during a speech Monday in San Antonio.

Biden addressed a crowd assembled for the UnidosUS Annual Conference, which began on Saturday.

According to video of her remarks obtained by Jorge Bonilla of the the conservative Media Research Center, she compared attendees to breakfast tacos.

She also mispronounced the word “bodega” when she said “bogeda.”

Flashback: ‘It’s like an episode of Veep:’ Jill Biden is mocked on social media after she mispronounces Spanish during her speech honoring Cesar Chavez. “Biden mispronounced Spanish term ‘Si, se puede’ – or ‘Yes, we can'”

BECAUSE OF COURSE: Thomas Jefferson’s Home Has Been Taken Over by Leftist America-Haters.

UPDATE (From Ed): Other than that, how did you enjoy the play tonight, Mrs. Lincoln?

Flashback: Lincoln’s New Assassins.

Now the mob takes the role of John Wilkes Booth in removing perhaps the greatest of all Lincoln sculptures, the Emancipation Memorial in Lincoln Park, located in northeast Washington, D.C. The preeminent Lincoln scholar of our or any other time, Harry V. Jaffa, said many times that this sculpture, originally referred to as the Freedman’s Memorial, rivaled Daniel French’s Lincoln Memorial creation. The statue was dedicated to honor Lincoln on the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Yet the furious mob blindly objects that the statue shows a kneeling slave before a standing Lincoln. The mob is even more blinkered in its art appreciation than it is in its historical understanding, as I will show in close-up views of the muscular freedman—no longer a slave!—and other details.

If we don’t believe our own eyes, we have the testimony of Frederick Douglass, who delivered the dedication address, honoring his friend Abraham Lincoln. The escaped slave Douglass is famous for his criticisms of Lincoln’s policies, including what he then regarded as his slowness to accede to plans for using black soldiers. But he also conceded the correctness of Lincoln’s measured policies. Douglass’s speech is among his best, his most complex, for its unsparing, many-sided views of Lincoln: it smashes all clichés about both men. His audience, we should note, included President Grant.

More: Why the Right Foresaw the Statues Coming Down. “When Donald Trump wondered whether it would be ‘George Washington next week’ and ‘Thomas Jefferson the week after,’ he was treated to haughty and dismissive dispatches in the mainstream press explaining why these Founders were more than just their proximity to slavery. These were valuable missives, but Trump wasn’t the right audience. They should have been directed at the activists who have taken their campus-based maximalism with them into the workforce. The failure on the part of polite liberal opinion makers to anticipate this attack on America’s foundations is a failure of imagination and an act of hubris. They assumed they spoke for the mob when it was the mob that spoke for them.”

It’s not surprising that Democrats are toppling statues of Lincoln — but this time, the calls are coming from inside the theater!

WHERE’S HUNTER, FAT? Hunter Biden could face prostitution charges for transporting hookers across state lines and disguising checks to them as payments for ‘medical services:’ Spent $30k in five months on ‘the girlfriend experience.’

UPDATE: The Hunter Biden iCloud leak double-standard. “Cockburn isn’t one to traffic in conspiracy theory — but it does strike him as rather odd that two weeks before the presidential election, damaging information about Hunter was snuffed out of circulation… yet now, as poll after poll emphasizes the president’s unpopularity, embarrassing videos of his son seem to be fair game…”

ENDORSED: At This New Resort in Mexico, Getting Drunk Is Part of the Wellness Program. “Lisa Harper would like you to know that in a post-pandemic, you-only-live-once world, throwing back mezcalitas and cheladas for the purpose of inducing a hangover and then curing it with barbacoa tacos falls squarely within the definition of holistic wellness.”

PHILLY’S SOROS PROSECUTOR IS A DEADBEAT: At least according to Hans Bader, quoting Big Trial, which points to chronic overdue taxes.

HOW ABOUT THIS AND TERM LIMITS? Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) think congressmen should legislate while Congress is in session and not make campaign fund-raising calls. Sounds reasonable to me, especially if it’s combined with term limits. But that’s just me.
