It’s the woke version of “Get off my lawn!”
In a move not far removed from kicking puppies and mocking the handicapped, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, in Washington, D.C., expelled a dozen Catholic high-school students from its premises for what’s apparently now a sin in our capital: wearing beanies bearing a pro-life message.
Meanwhile, having homosexual “pride” marches and Drag Queen Storytime in D.C. is encouraged.

He once supported, he says, all the Covid-19 mitigation efforts, from lockdowns to “vaccines” to boosters. He truly believed authorities had our best interests at heart when instituting their pandemic restrictions. But, says seventh-year medical (M.D./Ph.D.) student and researcher Kevin Bass:
“I was wrong.”
“We in the scientific community were wrong,” he continued. “And it cost lives.”

As impressive as a mic drop, though in a different way, is the mask drop. We saw this when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted in 2020 that Covid gave them (the pseudo-elites) an opportunity to further advance their great “reset” of economic systems. Now another example of it has come to light, with reports that Canada’s now-deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, once said that the American “people in the middle class need to decide to take a pay cut.”
Whether Freeland, who enjoys a $420,000-a-year salary, will decide to take a pay cut was not reported. In fairness, though, none of this would apply to her because she’s not middle class.

Perhaps, as gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder (R-Calif.) was accused of having been, they’re the “black face of white supremacy.” What black cops are not, however, is a policing panacea that will bring peace to savage streets and end the law enforcement “war on blacks.” This isn’t just because you can’t end something that isn’t occurring, but also for another reason:
Black and Hispanic officers are actually more likely to shoot black suspects than white cops are, according to studies.
What’s more, this phenomenon could be attributable to — and certainly is exacerbated by — affirmative action policies, which subordinate merit to racial quotas in the name of increasing police departments’ non-white representation.
The January 10 death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols at the hands of five Memphis police officers might’ve been at least partially a result of this quota mentality, too. For at least two of those officers were hired under dumbed-down, leftism-inspired standards, according to a report.

While meeting with European allies last March, Joe Biden said that they “talked about how we could increase and disseminate more rapidly food shortages.” This was on camera at a press conference. The media didn’t seem to care much, though, and when the statement itself was disseminated online, Facebook labeled it “false news.” Perhaps the idea was that Biden, being senile, will spout falsehoods.
Then again, senile people can also forget to suppress what they’re supposed to keep hidden, some may counter.
Note, too, that the White House never corrected Biden’s odd statement, according to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Whatever the truth, here’s what requires no guesswork: There have been increasing food shortages since that time. Egg prices have recently been skyrocketing, for example, which authorities attribute to the avian flu’s effects. Yet now there’s a report about poultry farmers complaining that their hens had suddenly stopped laying eggs for extended periods, a phenomenon they blame on corporation-sourced chicken feed. They also claim that when they switched to locally sourced grain, their birds immediately became productive again.
This all, of course, sounds like a conspiracy theory, and maybe that’s all it is. Or is it a conspiracy fact?

There was a race factor in the death of Tyre Nichols, but it wasn’t “white-supremacist systemic racism.” Rather, when the 29-year-old was killed by five Memphis cops on January 10, he became part of an all-too-common pattern — the phenomenon whereby 92 percent of black homicide victims are killed by other blacks.
What’s more, averred commentator Jason Whitlock (who is black, by the way), the Memphis tragedy and the violence committed by young black males generally mirror each other in another way: They both reflect the culture of fatherlessness/single motherhood that, in particular, plagues the black community. (Seventy-three percent of black children are born out of wedlock.)

In 2014, Barack Obama’s DOJ sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating male and female applicants equally. Earlier this month, some media and politicians were up in arms because Missouri lawmakers voted to hold female House members to a dress-code standard approximating that of their male colleagues. But “equality” has always been more ploy than principle. Now there’s yet another example of such, this one relating to school dress codes.
Very upset about them is one Minerva Canto, writing at the Los (Lost?) Angeles Times. “As parents, we expect that our sons and daughters will be treated equally if they attend a public school as is guaranteed by the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and Title IX…,” she states.
But while Canto may expect this equal treatment, she apparently doesn’t welcome it. After all, she later complains that “dress codes skirt laws against discrimination by regulating items of clothing for all students rather than creating separate rules for girls and boys.” Got that?
Treating students equally and thus conforming to anti-discrimination law is to skirt anti-discrimination law. It’s sort of like a Zen Koan, I guess.

When we say someone doesn’t take pride in his appearance or home, we mean he doesn’t take care of it. Is it any different when a person doesn’t take pride in being American?
This is an important question to ponder given a recent poll’s finding that only 36 percent of millennials — and a mere 16 percent of Gen Z adults (18-25) — are “proud to live in the United States.”
National pride has, in fact, been declining with each succeeding generation in a phenomenon that, as commentator Steve McCann puts it, means “America’s future is bleak.” If you’re a globalist aiming to breed “citizens of the world,” however, you’ll think our future is bright.
