Common Sense

“Due in large part to the anti-fossil fuel agenda of the Biden administration, we have been forced humiliate ourselves by begging enemy nations such Iran and Venezuela for oil—and even allies such as Saudi Arabia have told us to take a hike.”

“Are many of today’s Democratic Socialists truly any different from a PTSD-ridden individual who flies into a rage over so many of the normal pressures of daily life—and lashes out? Believing themselves to be victims of some outrageous injustice—perhaps due to an overpriced college degree that has left them unfit for stable and remunerative employment—these angry individuals cannot conceive of any possibility that they might be the cause of their own problems.”

“Perhaps the most pressing problem facing America today is that a majority of our citizenry are being compelled to accept or endorse ideas and actions they find unethical, immoral—or just plain crazy—by the addicts, thieves, violent criminals, and sociopaths who are now determined to drag us down to their level in the name of equity.”

“The IRGC, which was founded by the Ayatollah Khomeini in the immediate aftermath of the 1979 revolution, has a singular and unique mission for its roughly 125,000 soldiers and staff: to protect, support, and defend the ideological legacy of the Islamic Revolution—by any means necessary. These are the fanatics that are sent into the streets to shoot anyone who dares to oppose the orders of the mullahs and happily arrests anyone suspected of the least deviation from the extremist orthodoxy that shrouds women in chadors, insists on blind hatred of America, and yearns for nuclear weapons that can be used to force all nations to bend to their will. Whatever negotiated settlements America and Iran might agree to, the vast majority of the IRGC is guaranteed to see it as an affront and work to undermine it in every possible way.”

“Shocked that the reanimated Communist corpse thought dead and buried with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 has now—thanks to electric jolts of anti-Semitism, grievance politics, and blind hatred of America—risen from a dorm room fantasy to a potent national movement that is rousting establishment Democrats from office, formerly-cozy Democrat leaders are frantically trying to control the monster that seems intent on killing them all—electorally speaking, of course.”

“Why is it that classroom technology is not yet producing learning?  I believe the problem is similar to one experienced by untold numbers of desperately hopeful parents who cannot understand why their child keeps striking out with the new baseball bat they purchased—the harsh reality is that new equipment does not an All-Star make.  By the same token, the coolest new computer can make learning possible only if effective instruction is taking place.”

“Every American who did not learn how to twist logic into a pretzel in a law school understands the dire implications of granting automatic American citizenship to the offspring of non-citizens who are also often lawbreakers, but this did not stop a majority of the Justices from saddling us with a nonsensical and dangerous interpretation of the Constitution for another 50 years or so. Many will not like the severe restrictions on all immigration and travel by pregnant woman that will likely result from this ruling—and scream that our updated policies are bigoted—but the Supreme Court is wholly to blame for whatever Draconian steps will follow hard on the heels of their firm commitment to pettifogging obfuscation and mendacity.”

“The shaking rage that has enveloped Democrats since Donald Trump entered the political arena a decade ago has short circuited those parts of their brains that were once able to build a broad electoral coalition that was both patriotic and positive. A recent Gallup poll that revealed only 36% of Democrats are proud to be Americans demonstrates the depth of their estrangement from the average Americans whom they openly and vociferously disdain. If you want to lead a nation, you have to first stop hating it.”

“The thugs that now wear Birkenstocks instead of jackboots are just as deluded—and equally as dangerous—as those we were forced to battle in the past.”

“Forced to hold our public policy and private thoughts hostage to the damage inflicted upon individuals and society by the worst among us, cities have been shackled into obedience to catastrophic Wokeness by generations of indoctrination, habituation, and capitulation that has stifled debate and divided our nation into warring cultural camps. The old truism that one had to “earn respect” has been replaced by governmental mandates requiring—under penalty of law—we grant our approval to anyone and everyone with no regard whatsoever to character and behavior, a Woke Jedi Mind Trick that also erases personal responsibility and accountability from any consideration.”

“We like to believe that we are teaching this open-mindedness in our schools and colleges, but the mounting evidence is that we are graduating a great many bat-blind ideologues who have no interest in thinking—except when thinking of new ways of enforcing unquestioning obedience to their preferred beliefs. We see this demonstrated daily in the campus speech codes, mandated diversity pledges, stilted classroom discussions, and intrusive armies of DEI bureaucrats that are all enforcing a hive mind conformity which is antithetical to the thoughtful and unfettered conversations we must have regarding the many pressing problems facing America today.”

“The IRGC, which was founded by the Ayatollah Khomeini in the immediate aftermath of the 1979 revolution, has a singular and unique mission for its roughly 125,000 soldiers and staff: to protect, support, and defend the ideological legacy of the Islamic Revolution—by any means necessary. These are the fanatics that are sent into the streets to shoot anyone who dares to oppose the orders of the mullahs and happily arrests anyone suspected of the least deviation from the extremist orthodoxy that shrouds women in chadors, insists on blind hatred of America, and yearns for nuclear weapons that can be used to force all nations to bend to their will. Whatever negotiated settlements America and Iran might agree to, the vast majority of the IRGC is guaranteed to see it as an affront and work to undermine it in every possible way.”

“The anonymity and lack of accountability inherent in hiding behind a screen name also trains many unsupervised young people to believe that snark, insult, and full-scale personal attacks are appropriate responses to the disagreements that are a normal part of life. Habitually winning plaudits from one’s peers in the form of coveted “likes and shares” by launching a full retaliatory strike on someone whose values and judgments differ is not the best training for dealing with—anyone, really.”

“One can guarantee that right now Iranian mosques are crowded with senior officials praying for the continued good health of Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because they would rather run circles around a Woke Democrat patsy who will be content to “strongly protest” future violations of this week’s peace agreement while reverting to an Obama-esque policy of delivering pallets of cash—alongside assurances that we are A-OK with whatever they want to do.”

“ . . . the testosterone inherent in mostly male, often shirtless, and sometimes belligerent football fans gathering at tailgate parties and inside massive stadiums—where they pound beers, eat meat, and bond in ways that seem primitive and insulting to the prim and easily insulted—sets the teeth of America’s political and cultural Leftists on edge.”

New York City is screwed (pun intended).

The continued popularity of stupendously incompetent Democratic leaders such as Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, Brandon Johnson, Kathy Hochul, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and a great many others is a mystery only if you fail to understand what they are selling: the freedom of childlike irresponsibility.
