CUI BONO?

Leftist NGOs have made a multi-billion dollar industry out of the border crisis. They have zero incentive to actually solve the problem. The worse it gets, the more they cash in.https://t.co/Ydr5v4VGQk

Not in Mexico, yet, of course. If Mexico turns itself around, I’ll call it a miracle.

YEAH, BUT THAT’S WITHOUT FRAUD:  New Poll Shows Trump Winning Key States, Including Michigan and Pennsylvania.

IT’S RELATED TO THE EFFORTS OF THOSE WHO HAVE TRIED TO JUSTIFY OR IGNORE 9/11. BREAKS FROM REALITY:  Anti-Israel campus protesters have experienced “some kind of psychiatric break”.

WAR IS NOT A GAME. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT OF PROPORTIONALITY. ONLY PEOPLE POISONED WITH STORY WOULD THINK SO:  “Disproportionate”.

I WOULDN’T CALL ANY OF THIS LIBERAL INDIVIDUALISM. IT IS AN ATTEMPT AT TRADITION BY TURNING CURRENT EXCESSES ON THEIR HEAD:  Under the Digital Eye of Sauron.

The opposite of Marxist insanity isn’t reality. It’s just another form of insanity. Humans and human societies are far more complicated than that. Civlilization requires some degree of understanding the past.  This means making an effort to study history and see beyond the Marxist contamination, not merely pretending it was what the Marxists said it was.

WE ARE EMBODIED CREATURES. PHYSICAL RITUALS ARE IMPORTANT TO BRIDGE THE WAY TO WHAT WE CAN’T QUITE CONCEPTUALIZE:  Faith and Ritual.

I think the sixties stripping of ritual and “senseless” tradition, pretty much across the board of most Western religious observation was a grave error and an example of removing Chesterton’s fence. Turned out we hadn’t evolved away from needing it.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?: The Times of Israel has an important piece about how the Biden administration wants to end the war in Gaza with Hamas still in place and intact. The article is filled with delusionary statements, on and off the record, by administration officials, but if you can imagine the dumbest think Biden State Department spokesman Matthew Miller might have said about Gaza, it still won’t be as dumb as what he actually said, apparently reflected administration policy:

Notably, the US has signaled its tepid support for China’s recent efforts to strike a long-elusive deal between Hamas and Fatah. “If China wanted to play a productive role in bringing this conflict to an end, that is something that we would welcome,” Miller said last week.

It was bad enough that the Obama administration let Russia have free reign in Syria. But *inviting* China to gain influence in Gaza? Are they completely insane?

My best guess here is that they are expecting wall-to-wall pro-Hamas craziness from now until November from the leftist base, and are so desperate to get the conflict to end and focus on the messaging the Biden campaign wants, that they are willing to invite America’s greatest geo-political rival to take up residence right on Israel and Egypt’s doorstep. Which, ironically, is exactly the sort of thing they accuse Trump of doing.

THE TRUTH HURTS:

You are the party of runaway inflation, you are the party of "crime is fine," you are the party of suffocating regulations, you are the party of DEI failure, you are simply the Party of Misery.

Stop complaining. You're responsible for ALL of it. https://t.co/I2fObLUrwj

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: Ashley Biden Wrote Letter to Judge Confirming That Diary Reporting That Biden Showered With Her Until a ‘Not Appropriate’ Age Is Real. “Snopes has been denying this for years — and this is one of the ‘fact’ checking outfits which social media companies use to decide whether to censor/throttle accounts. It was false for years, now it’s true. No apologies. No explanation of how or why this error (or ‘error’) was made.”

FORGET THAT A FEW DUKE STUDENTS WALKED OUT ON JERRY SEINFELD: Pay Attention to His Speech.

Seinfeld did not acknowledge the students as they walked out. He went to the podium and began his speech like nothing was happening. His opening line was, “Thank you. Oh my God, what a beautiful day.”

The beauty of Seinfeld’s speech was that it was not political at all. No politics, no virtue-signaling about current progressive opinions on hot-button topics. He sounded like a dad advising his son or daughter about leaving college behind and entering real life.

Plus: “Many in the audience booed the students as they left. The Duke audience was refreshingly receptive to Seinfeld.”
