THE NORMS HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR DECADES. THE RIGHT NOTICED THIS YEAR:  Rob Reiner Outlived Moderate Politics. The problem with Trump’s post about Rob Reiner isn’t that it was cruel. It’s that condemning it changes nothing. The norms that might have made such disrespect unthinkable have been dead for years.

In my 40 years in this country, the left has not only said the most appalling things about our dead (and our living) but congratulated themselves on how kind, loving and respectful they are. So Trump said something insensitive and the left lost their minds. Cool beans. I really don’t care, (Margaret).  Not until the left polices their own as hard as they police our side.

IT’S MIDNIGHT. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR 4CHANNER IS?

Seriously. “Fren” is used mostly on cute animal sites. “If not Fren, why Fren shaped?” It’s a cute term for friend. Sigh. someone failed to keep 4chan amused. And so now Fren will follow the okay sign into causing the left to jabber insanely when they run across it. (Not that they can jabber sanely, of course, but still.)

4chan makes owning the left a thing of beauty. If it could be put in a gallery it would rival all of the works of Renaissance masters.

This notion that young British men – specifically the working class ones – are going to sign up to go fight Russia for Ukraine is hilarious. This applies to other countries too, but let’s focus on the Brits. It’s a lesson in how the left skin-suits an institution, demands…

SHUT UP, THEY EXPLAINED: : The Orwellian Excuse the Congressional Black Caucus Gave for Trying to Block My Congressional Testimony.

When the Congressional Black Caucus and 260 left-leaning organizations sent letters trying to prevent me from testifying before Congress, they claimed to be opposing efforts to “undermine civil institutions” and to prevent the use of “government power to silence people.”

This is deeply ironic because the House Judiciary Committee had invited me to testify on how the Southern Poverty Law Center, which demonizes conservatives and Christians in an effort to silence their opinions, influenced the Biden administration, leading to government attacks on nonprofits, such as the notorious FBI memo targeting “radical-traditional Catholics.”

I testified alongside leaders of organizations that had been targeted for violence after the SPLC put them on a “hate map” with Ku Klux Klan chapters. The hearing, “Partisan and Profitable: The SPLC’s Influence on Federal Civil Rights Policy,” focused on a key aspect of my writing and reporting, work that has distinguished me as an expert on the SPLC’s tactics.
