BLUE-ANON: The Anti-Israeli Left Is Turning Into QAnon. Not all of the Left! But a lot of it!

HO, HO, HO/HO CHI MINH/THE PLO/IS SURE TO WIN:

It is sometimes noted that in the 1960s, only about 5 percent of the college-age population were participants in the anti-war movement and the large protests they organized. (And I’ve been told by several older Boomer acquaintances that they attended anti-war protests chiefly to meet girls.) My friend John Tamny noted this fact recently, generously citing some of my own work in fact, to suggest the current pro-Hamas protests are unrepresentative and don’t need to be taken that seriously. I disagree; the lesson of the anti-war movement of the 1960s—which by rapid degrees became an anti-American movement (remember “Amerikkka”)—is that it only takes a determined minority to de-range the politics and culture of a nation, with baleful results. Back in the 1960s the liberal establishment was befuddled by the New Left and didn’t know how to respond, so it mostly capitulated. Seems the same thing is happening today after October 7. In the face of a demented, deranged left, our liberal establishment is once again calling for “dialogue.”

Unlike the 1960s though, the CCP has a tool to directly influence millions of impressionable young Americans: TikTok made Gen Z pro-Palestine.

SO HOW SUCCESSFUL WAS HENRY KISSINGER’S CAREER? So successful that he caused the would-be AARP-anarchists at Rolling Stone to have an entirely predictable meltdown, as the London Daily News reports: Rolling Stone dances on Henry Kissinger’s grave with brutal ‘good riddance’ headline: ‘Finally, the war criminal is dead.’

• Rolling Stone led leftist celebrations of Henry Kissinger’s death at the age of 100.
• Magazine compared Kissinger to the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Of course, at Rolling Stone, some mass bombers are much cooler and dreamier than others:

And it took them decades, but in recent years, the magazine was finally very much pro-Vietnamese bombing as well:

Still, some members of the ancien regime remain steadfast in their hatred of civil rights for all:

CDR SALAMANDER: Front or Flank: the Importance of Words.

BARBRA STREISAND HAS LOTS OF SPARE ROOM: Astonishing moment boat full of migrant lands on Malibu beach over 100 miles from Mexico-California border, close to home of megastar who lashed Trump’s wall.

GOD COMPLEX: Fauci declares he ‘can’t tell a lie’ and reveals he ditched religion for his ‘own personal ethics.’

It looks like the Tiny Totalitarian still has his U.S. Marshals security detail, despite being “retired” from government service. His full time chauffeur and fully staffed taxpayer-funded security detail puts American on the hook for a million dollars a month.

The BBC interviewer, worshipping Fauci, discusses his fitness routine. Asked about the status of his diet, Fauci jokingly responds, “I can’t tell a lie.”

Next up, they walk past the church at Georgetown where Fauci got married. We then find out that the good doctor no longer practices religion, as he is guided by a higher moral authority: “my own personal ethics.”

“As far as practicing, it seems almost like a pro forma thing that I don’t really need to do,” he adds.

Fauci doesn’t need God. God needs Fauci.

“What is sin?”, a legendary community organizer was asked by a Chicago Sun-Times reporter covering religion-themed topics in 2004. He famously replied, “Being out of alignment with my values.” Or as the late Tom Wolfe wrote in his epochal 1976 article, “The ‘Me’ Decade and the Third Great Awakening,” “It is entirely possible that in the long run historians will regard the entire New Left experience as not so much a political as a religious episode wrapped in semi military gear and guerrilla talk.”

Or these days, alternating between Antifa’s paramilitary togs and the bio-suits worn inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, lest a lab leak of a particularly dangerous virus escapes out into the open.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. The Left’s fear of fascism under Trump is the ultimate example of projection:

The liberal crazies, from actor Rob Reiner to the once conservative but now ideologue-for-sale Joe Scarborough, have their knickers in a knot over the potential that America may drift into “fascism” upon the possible election of former President Donald Trump in 2024.

How deliciously ironic that these leftists express concern over phantom fascism in the future as they look the other way while their Grand Poobah, President Joe Biden , is laying out a clinic on fascist tactics.

This is the same Biden administration that has actually brought criminal charges against its political enemies. Trump never did so, even though he had ample opportunity and justification against Hillary Clinton. In an act of unappreciated magnanimity, Trump began his first few days in office by declaring he would let bygones be bygones and, for the good of the country, would not pursue charges against Clinton for illegally moving her server to an unprotected base.

That doesn’t look much like fascism.

Meanwhile, Biden‘s Justice Department and FBI have engaged in one action after another that would make even J. Edgar Hoover blush.

When you combine a love of ever-expanding totalitarian government with a burning passion for antisemitism, asking yourselves “Are we the baddies” is long overdue:

FROM CELIA HAYES:  That Fateful Lightning: A Novel of the Civil War.

There wasn’t much of an outlet for an ordinary American woman with ambitions in the 184os; marriage and family was as good as it got back then, for most women … But Minnie Vining wasn’t an ordinary woman. A spinster in her forties, of a respected old Boston family, possessing an independent income and an education worthy of any man among her peers. Minnie took up a noble cause – campaigning for the abolition of slavery. The matter of slavery roiled political and social life in the United States for more than thirty years, splitting apart families, friends, comrades … and eventually the nation. And when the war began in earnest, Minnie followed her heart and her calling … as a nurse, tending to sick and wounded soldiers … but at what personal cost?

CENSORSHIP CLOWN SHOW: I know I said I wasn’t going to dwell on this, but some things are too funny. In yesterday’s surreal House hearing on censorship, the Democrats’ witness Olivia Troye denied to North Carolina congressman Dan Bishop something she’d said in her opening statement.
