WE APOLOGIZE AGAIN FOR THE FAULT IN THE SUBTITLES. THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR SACKING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST BEEN SACKED, HAVE BEEN SACKED: John Nolte: No More ‘Birthing Person, LGBTQIA+’ — Fractured Dems Instructed to Talk Like Normal People.

Second, ever since the arrival of Obama, Democrats have made the grave error of radicalizing their base with the poison of identity politics. Today, that tail wags the dog. Democrats are stuck with these radicals, with these unforgiving fascists who demand loyalty tests and 100 percent fealty. And the language you use is the most important part of that test. If you don’t use the “approved” language, you’re a Nazi. Period.

Democrats have painted themselves into a corner where any attempt to moderate will result in a brutal backlash from the wealthiest and most intolerant part of their base.

For example…

You’ll notice that the Third Way blacklist does not include “undocumented migrant.”

Why?

Because the Third Way is not moderate.

And.

If the Third Way were to call for an end to that stupid-ass term, they would face outrage, protests, and a blacklisting of their own.

You’ll also notice that the Third Way does not have the moral courage to list alternative words.

Why?

Same reasons.

Watching this play out will be more entertaining than anything on TV.

It’s quite a post-election circular firing squad. Democrats are not going to change their worldview, but they know that openly talking about it is absolutely suicidal, except in the bluest of blue alcoves. So having spent decades telling the rest of us to shut up, the left are now telling themselves to shut up.

HIGHLY PLAUSIBLE: Study links poor sleep to self-harm in teenagers.

I suspect an awful lot of teenage pathologies are linked to poor sleep. I, on the other hand, sleep like a baby because my conscience is clean. From this morning’s Oura Ring output:

DISPATCHES FROM THE PRO-CRIME AWFLS:

In 2020, Philadelphia’s NBC affiliate reported: Homicides Reach Record High in Trenton, New Jersey.

Curiously, young white women want to impede the police’s job there.

As well as the Chicago PD:

Wait, forget the Chicago PD. How backed up are the hospitals in Chicago, if her arm hasn’t healed yet?!
