The Left's Desperation

 After two indictments, the Russia Hoax, the endless lies and two assassination attempts, the Left is unbowed.  It constantly invents new attacks on the President -- and half the country -- which only underscores the charge that it is not concerned about the country or its citizens, but about gaining and holding onto power.

Desperate to find its version of Joe Rogan, it's hitching its wagon to some shill named Jennifer Welch.  An uglier human would be hard to find.  Think of her as the female James Carville, only without functioning grey matter.  Engaging in unnecessary profanity as if to show how earnestly she believes in her cause, she makes unfounded declarations that are as provocative as they are libelous.  One of these days she's going to be taken to court and, even if she prevails because of bad SCOTUS precedent, she'll lose whatever credibility to which she lays claim.

There seems to be an adjustment of sorts happening at CNN, where the hosts push back against the more scurrilous comments from guests.  MSNOW, formerly MSNBC, holds course in its self-destructive past.

Meanwhile, on a state and local level, insanity prevails.  The governors of New York, Illinois and California continue to sound the alarm against non-existent fascism and oligarchy.  Mayors of larger cities, like whatever that is in Chicago, have lost their ever-loving minds.  The new communist mayor-elect of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, makes illogical pronouncements, putting at risk much-needed federal funding.  Even those who aren't even in office yet, with an opportunity to modify their political zeal, proceed unafraid of the consequences.  The governors-elect of New Jersey and Virginia crusade against Orange Man Bad, trying to bolster their liberal bona fides.

Of all the liberals, the man once thought to be out of his mind, Senator John Fetterman, seems to have retained a grasp on reality.  Hardly a convert to conservatism, he speaks with a more rational and measured tone than most of his liberal cohorts.  Sadly, he has few colleagues willing to join him.  

Civil war looms.  Whether it actually breaks out is anyone's guess.

Free Speech and the Left...Again

 College campuses used to be centers of learning, where students were challenged to reason and analyze together with learn.  Nowadays, they're nothing more than expensive indoctrination centers where jaded professors inculcate them with nothing more than the ability to regurgitate anti-conservative tropes that are inherently flawed.

After Charlie Kirk's assassination Turning Point USA ("TPUSA") chapters have sprung up around the country, much to the consternation of the indoctrination centers.  Conservative students put up folding tables inviting people to join the organization.  These tables have brought in plenty of new recruits, but they also serve as a magnet for the opposition's ire.  At Illinois State, Oklahoma and other campuses, self-appointed defenders of the One True Faith approached these tables and upended them, claiming that it was their exercise of free speech under the First Amendment.  What these civics-challenged idiots don't understand is that although it is, in fact, an expression of their right to free speech, it is also a crime in many of these states.  No one suggests that they can't oppose TPUSA; quite the opposite.  It's the manner in which they express their opposition.  It's akin to murdering someone then claiming it was simply the exercise of their right to speak freely that the murdered the person to show how much they disliked him.

Although this may not encompass the Left, Moslem immigrants in this country are also embracing a warped interpretation of the First Amendment.  At a town hall meeting in Dearborn, Michigan, a fellow citizen spoke out against the call to prayer that is now being broadcast throughout the town.  He was told in no certain words by the City Council that there was no place for him in Dearborn and cut off from speaking further.

Moslems are enjoying the benefits of the First Amendment to tell the rest of us how they are going to take over the country, that Sharia law trumps the Constitution and how our way of life -- the one in which they inserted themselves when they moved here -- is wrong.  Again, they have a right to not only their opinion but also to express it, no matter how incongruous or vile it may be.  But native Americans should not only take heed of these incidents but also watch out.  I fear that Dearborn is tinderbox of insurrection.  Just last week the FBI arrested five people -- Moslems -- in connection with a planned massacre.  I pray that I'm wrong but don't think that I am.

I may be gone before anything happens regarding an insurrection, but the Useful Idiots on college campuses are paving the way for the Moslems to engage in their initiative.  Proof of that is abundantly available in the UK.
