While our southern-border invasion continues not just unabated but with the act-of-omission aid and abetment of the Biden administration, foreign borders are often considered sacrosanct. One example is Ukraine’s border with Russia — in fact, establishment Democrats and Republicans claim they may be willing to go to war with Moscow over it.

What’s more, one senator actually mentioned our first-strike nuclear capability when discussing the matter.

Welcome to Dr. Strangelove foreign policy.

In case you haven’t guessed, my title is another way of characterizing the hoax perpetrated by actor and malefactor Jussie Smollett, currently on trial for falsely claiming he was the victim of a 2019 “hate crime.” It’s a way of framing the frame that would be quite common were the races reversed.

Of course, a white guy today doesn’t have to falsely claim anything to be demonized in media. He just has to be guilty of DWW — Defending While White, à la poor Kyle Rittenhouse or Mark McCloskey. As for Smollett, he pulls a jump-the-shark version of a “hate crime” hoax, and the media (see Robin Roberts et al.) just nod sympathetically.

“If something can’t go on, it won’t,” goes the paraphrase of economist Herb Stein. This reality could explain a shocking and, some would say, unbelievable story:

CNN, the poster boy for left-wing activism posing as journalism, may be poised to become more conservative.

This is according to lawyer extraordinaire, ex-U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, and well-connected savant Joe DiGenova. In a recent interview on WMAL radio in Washington, D.C., DiGenova provided his explanation for what many pundits are theorizing about: the real reason CNN fired its highest-rated performer, Chris Cuomo.

Socialist Saul “the Red” Alinsky’s work Rules for Radicals is widely embraced by Machiavellian leftist social engineers. But some on the Right are now also taking a leaf from the book — in particular, the counsel that mockery is one of man’s most potent weapons.

Anglo-Irish satirist Jonathan Swift used this strategy almost 300 years ago (his Gulliver’s Travels critique of lawyers is hilarious). Late radio host Rush Limbaugh, also quite swift, did likewise and called it “illustrating absurdity by being absurd.” And satirical site The Babylon Bee uses the technique to great effect, and most recently, a day after ex-presidential nominee Bob Dole’s passing, ran the headline “Bob Dole Switches To Democrat Party.”  

Yet proving that this could be applied to the COVID-1984 situation, and maybe should….

It may not surprise those who know that children can sometimes receive “transgender” treatments or have abortions without parental consent. But in the latest example of systemic child abuse, there are people who now want to bypass parents so that they can give children — as young as five — COVID-19 “vaccinations.”

What’s more, this standard has already been adopted in certain parts of Canada, which means that given enough time, it could become reality in the United States as well. In fact, way back in the spring, a Pennsylvania state senator crafted a bill that would allow 14-year-olds to get the coronavirus genetic-therapy agents (a.k.a. “vaccines”) sans parental consent.

As for the Canadian trespass, the province of British Columbia “has a sneaky little parental rights problem called the Infants Act Law, which outlines the legal position regarding “Mature Minor Consent and Immunization” for children under the age of 19,”

They “get bitter” and “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them,” said Barack Obama in 2008, describing mainly white, working-class voters. But it turns out that some “people who aren’t like them” are like them — in that they’re clinging to weapons, too.

While writing about the Kyle Rittenhouse case last month, I mentioned that there’s an immutable rule of life: “Since ‘Necessity is the mother of invention,’ citizens bedeviled by unrestrained criminals will become de facto law enforcement and do the job the government won’t do.”

This happened with the vigilance committees of the Old West. It happened in Kenosha, where many more residents than just Rittenhouse became armed defenders. Now it’s happening in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, where almost exclusively non-white school students are arming up in “gun-free zones” because they fear violence.

If you learned your child’s nanny didn’t want you to know what she was doing with your kid behind closed doors, while you weren’t around, you’d be more than suspicious. You’d give her the boot (and that’s also what nanny-cams are for). Yet should it be any different if the person wanting “alone time” with your child is a schoolteacher?

Parents may again want to ponder this question after yet another teacher was caught with her ideology down. The scene of this trespass was a California Teachers Association (CTA) conference concerning “how to indoctrinate schoolchildren without their parents’ knowledge,” as Fox News host Tucker Carlson put it.

Though it’s always odd discussing a microorganism as if it has intellect and purpose, it’s said that viruses generally become less deadly as they mutate because killing their hosts doesn’t facilitate their survival. This may be the case with the COVID-19 Omicron variant. For though it has already appeared in 38 countries, the World Health Organization reports that it has claimed not even one life.

This comes on the heels of a major study showing that during 15 months of the coronavirus “pandemic,” precisely zero healthy German children have died from COVID induced by any variant.

It’s yet more proof that the SARS-CoV-2 situation is no longer an emergency, if it ever was. Despite this, Establishment media, politicians, organizations, and businesses are still ratcheting up the fear, increasing the chances of bad China virus policy’s perpetuation.

“Blood is not thicker than morality,” radio host and author Laura Schlessinger once noted. This comes to mind when pondering how Fox News’ normally astute Tucker Carlson, who generally exhibits more philosophical depth than is the television news norm, stumbled a bit last Tuesday evening.

At issue was a Tucker Carlson Tonight segment about ex-TV host Chris Cuomo’s “indefinite suspension” (he has since been fired) from CNN for using his press connections to help his brother, ex-NY governor Andrew Cuomo, craft a defense against the sexual misconduct allegations that ended his political career.

Carlson had much to say that was true: Chris Cuomo is a buffoonish narcissist whose greatest trespasses were far worse than what ultimately scuttled his TV show, and CNN is infested with people who’d denounce their own mothers for career advancement. Yet the host also said, while trying to lend Cuomo’s actions some perspective, that his behavior amounts to “what you do with brothers, even the loathsome ones: You help them when they need it — it’s called loyalty.”
