From Grover Cleveland to Woodrow Wilson to JFK to Joe Biden, there’s a long history of presidents hiding ill health from the public. Wannabe presidents sometimes do it, too, with Hillary Clinton a prime example. Yet while pictures and videos of the twice-failed presidential candidate collapsing and needing help walking up stairs did emerge during her last White House bid, it turns out that her health might’ve been even worse than many suspected.

So related ex-St Louis police officer Ann Dorn, while appearing Tuesday on The Joe Hoft Show at Real Talk 93.3. Ann was the wife of David Dorn, a retired law enforcement officer who’d been a St. Louis police captain and the chief of the Moline Acres Police Department and whose murder during the St. Louis, Missouri, riots in 2020 made headlines.

Well prior to that tragedy, however, Ann Dorn worked at a hotel in which Clinton was staying in preparation for the 2016 St. Louis debate against Donald Trump. It was then that she was made aware of Clinton’s shockingly poor health. Among Dorn’s revelations are that the politician used a wheelchair, couldn’t walk even a block, and always had a “med bag” with her.

There are different ways to identify an enemy within, but one is quite simple. Anybody who’d cancel George Washington should be considered a fifth-column member fit only for scorn and ostracism.

We’ve seen attacks upon Washington take many forms, with San Francisco’s 2021 decision to rename a school bearing our first president’s name a prime example. It’s a red flag because it reflects hatred of America’s very foundation, of everything she truly represents.

George Washington is unlike any other American figure. His archrival, King George III, knew this well. Responding to news that with the Revolutionary War’s conclusion, Washington would relinquish power and return to his farm, the monarch exclaimed, “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.”

We opened discussing the January 6th protesters' plight before transitioning into other matters, including deeper, somewhat philosophical ones.

“They’re just doing jobs Americans won’t do,” is what the foreign-worker enablers say. But is “physician” one of these jobs, too?

This question could be asked with shocking congressional testimony informing that thousands of American doctors are being passed over for taxpayer-funded residencies — at the same time, more than 4,000 such opportunities were given to foreign nationals last year alone.

Every living thing requires energy to function. Without energy there is no movement. Without energy there is no life.

There is also, of course, no economic activity. Thus is the West’s war on energy most tragic — especially for Africans, who are being crippled by it.

So warn two experts, Joel Kotkin, director of the Urban Reform Institute; and South African engineer Hügo Krüger. Writing at UnHerd on Monday, they point out that unlike the West’s 1970s energy crisis, the current one is a self-inflicted wound, the result of government imposition of a greentopian agenda.

It has always been said, “It’s the thought that counts.” But not today. Any offense against the tenets of wokeness, even if well-meaning, must be met with the transgressor’s unrelenting destruction.

The threat of nuclear holocaust once figured prominently in our psyches. In the 1950s, schoolchildren did duck-and-cover drills to prepare for atomic attack. The 1983 film The Day After, portraying a nuclear exchange and its hopeless aftermath, terrified audiences and created pressure for disarmament talks. Yet while the Cold War’s end has allayed these fears, the famed “Doomsday Clock” is still the closest to midnight it has ever been: 100 seconds to apocalypse. And one reason why may be what some have dubbed Russia’s “doomsday weapon.”

It’s called Poseidon, and it’s not just the stuff of your grandfather’s atomic nightmares. The average nuclear weapon is a missile-delivered device that could destroy a city and, in the most formidable warheads’ cases, a great deal of area beyond. Poseidon, however, is a huge nuclear torpedo that, some say, could destroy a whole continent.

You don’t have to be a linguist to grasp that language use tells us much about a society — and this goes far beyond whether vulgarity is accepted. One man who might agree is columnist John Kelly. Lamenting how even journalists and people creating product packaging today don’t measure up to a 1950s Catholic-grammar-school graduate, he writes in a Sunday title, “You can quote me: ‘Doesn’t anybody know how to use punctuation any more?’”

Of course, concern over boys and girls no longer learning proper punctuation may seem trivial in a society in which many people no longer know what boys and girls are. But what if this phenomenon reflects the precise reason, or at least part of it, why we witness the civilizational decay evident all around us?

Some may wonder why, in a representative republic, many of our most enforced societal norms are so unrepresentative of the wider population. Why, they may ask, is “wokeness” foisted on a citizenry generally opposed to it? One reason is a man who has been called the “puppet master behind the scenes of corporate America.” The kicker:

Unlike billionaire George Soros, this man uses your money to pull the strings.

The puppeteer is Larry Fink, CEO of multinational investment management corporation BlackRock. Fink isn’t as well known as Soros, but he has been dubbed “The Most Powerful Man in Finance.”
