It’s no longer fashionable in the West to fancy your civilization superior and those beyond its borders “barbarians.” Yet this phenomenon has been replaced by another type of chauvinism — the chronological variety — the idea that our time is superior and those in the past were barbarians (at least if they were European) to be held in utter contempt.

Pushing back against this Friday was a man now known for being selectively red-pilled, liberal comedian-cum-commentator Bill Maher. On his HBO show Real Time, Maher criticized a chronological chauvinism phenomenon known as “presentism.” Ironically, though, inherent in Maher’s defense of the past was his own brand of presentism.

Who oversaw the movement of hundreds of thousands illegal aliens — tens of thousands via plane flights — into our country’s interior in just one year?

It wasn’t the Mexican cartels.

It wasn’t red state authorities.

It wasn’t Martha’s Vineyard mayhem maker Ron DeSantis, recently slammed for flying 50 illegals to the island to try to improve its diversity.

It’s Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., the man occupying the White House. It’s DeSantis, though, who gets called a “human trafficker” in mainstream media. And a high profile senator has now noted the double standard.

Anyone who thinks Republicans and Democrats are essentially the same ought to consider what just happened in Virginia. Reversing the policies of his radical leftist Democratic predecessor, Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin has restored some sex-oriented normalcy in the Old Dominion state:

No longer must schoolgirls worry about boys claiming to be female displaying their private parts in the lasses’ restrooms or locker rooms (as happened with University of Pennsylvania swimmer Will Thomas). Nor will teachers and students be forced to use “others’” pronouns (e.g., ze, zir, zem), which makes sense since people don’t have pronouns — languages do.

It’s easy being idealistic when you don’t have to live with your ideals. Nothing has proven this truth better, perhaps, than Martha’s Vineyard residents’ and the wider Left’s reaction to an “unacceptable” number of illegal aliens’ entry into that tony community.

That number would be 50 — a piddling percentage of the influx Mexico-abutting states must deal with due to the Biden administration’s refusal to secure the border.

That would be, mind you, a refusal supported via voting by most everyone in Martha’s Vineyard.

As most know, this blessed diversity was provided to the Vineyard by Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who was kind enough to fly the migrants to the island on his state’s own dime. Yet far from appreciating this opportunity to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with actual Hispanics (the island is 87 percent white), Vineyard residents seem none too pleased while the left-wing media cry foul.

I expressed some Truth on the Truth Express — and caused the Left some distress.

People don’t have pronouns — languages do. Despite this, laws have been made requiring people to use others’ “gender-neutral” pronouns, and transgressors in certain cases have gone to jail.

A recent example concerns an Irish educator who’s being persecuted for refusing to deny reality.

“Unprecedented and unethical.” So said late pollster Pat Caddell, commenting on a cooked October 2016 NBC/WSJ poll that showed Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 14 points less than a month before she would lose to him in that year’s presidential contest. Errant political polls are nothing new, and one general pattern is that they tend to underestimate Republican support — doing so in 2020 by four to five points.

And this year is no exception, says Randy Ellison, a public opinion and market research consultant and president of Targoz Market Research. Writing at The Hill recently, he asks, “Are we facing another big polling miss?” His answer: “Probably.”

It was last year already that a researcher predicted that for every child “saved” by the COVID “vaccines,” 117 would be killed by them. Such warnings not only fell on deaf establishment ears, but also often meant censorship for those echoing them. But now nine researchers from establishment institutions, such as Harvard University, are essentially sounding the same alarm.

In fact, they assert that COVID “vaccines” are for college students up to 98 times as dangerous as the disease itself.

Thus is forcing the shots upon these young people “ethically unjustifiable,” these experts say.

Is it the ultimate battle of the sexes? In the 2018 midterms, men supported the Republicans by the percentage margin 51-47.

Women broke for the Democrats 59-40 — overwhelming support that gave the party control of Congress.

Hardly a one-off, this phenomenon manifests itself every election and even has a name: the “gender gap” (“‘sex’ gap” would be the proper terminology). Moreover, far from showing signs of diminishing, a new survey of college students finds that the voting sex gap (VSG) may be reaching unprecedented proportions.
