Is this the real reason the American Left hates Vladimir Putin so much? In a fiery speech Thursday, the Russian leader railed against liberalism, slaughtering leftist sacred cows with abattoir-level abandon. Among his targets were cancel culture, anti-Western revisionist history, and so-called “transgenderism.”

“Rule No. 1: Don’t Challenge Trans Orthodoxy.” So read the chyron on the screen Thursday evening, when Fox News host Tucker Carlson pointed out that it used to be “a feature of high school biology class that biological sex is biologically real.”
“But now, that’s hate speech,” he lamented, as being imposed upon America is a “lunatic new orthodoxy,” as the host put it.
The question being asked was: Why is the Made-up Sexual Status (MUSS or “transgender”) community — a minuscule percentage of the country — running everything?

“Must We All Be Always Tolerant?” asks commentator Hugh Fitzgerald. Writing at Jihad Watch, what inspired his question was the reaction of British lawmaker David Amess’s family to his October 15 murder.
Amess, 69, was stabbed 17 times by a Somali Muslim while meeting with constituents in a Methodist church in Leigh-on-Sea in southern England, in what authorities consider a terrorist incident. In response to this, Amess’s family said in a statement released via London police, “Whatever one’s race, religious or political beliefs, be tolerant and try to understand,” reports Reuters.

It’s not exactly The Day the Earth Stood Still, but the idea is similar: Humans are so irredeemably warlike that extraterrestrials, or some superior force, has taken measures to forestall our destructiveness. In fact, stated a U.S. Air Force captain who was once in charge of 10 nuclear missiles that he says were rendered inoperable by UFOs, “he believes they were delivering a message to humanity.”
This isn’t a story everyone is comfortable talking about. But such reports and UFO phenomena in general have gotten increasing press as of late.

“It is one thing to refuse to provide police protection. It is quite another to announce far in advance that police protection will not be provided.” So wrote dissenting 10th Circuit judge Harris L. Hartz in the case of VDARE Found. v. City of Colorado Springs, addressing how in 2017 a resort canceled a VDARE event it had booked — after its city, loosely speaking and in the mafia sense, made it an offer it couldn’t refuse.

Gosh, has anyone ever really believed in Equality™?
The Queensland Suns won the Nissan State under-18 netball tournament last month, and the wrath of many, by easily defeating seven other teams. The issue? The Suns are sons — not daughters like the rest of their competitors.

We’ve heard the warning from a Venezuelan actress. We’ve heard it from Cuban émigrés. And now we’re hearing it from a Virginia mother who lived under mass-murderer Mao Tse-tung’s Marxist despotism:
The United States is following a well-worn path to tyranny.
“When I was in China, I spent my entire school years in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, so I’m very, very familiar with the communist tactics of how to divide people, how they canceled the Chinese traditional culture and destroyed our heritage,” Xi Van Fleet told Fox News.
“All this is happening here in America,” she then stated.

“We have no idea how they did this.” It’s not comforting that the preceding was uttered by a United States source in reference to an alleged new Chinese weapon: a hypersonic missile. But Beijing now claims it didn’t develop anything unusual, stating that what we detected circling the Earth this summer was a spacecraft.
In other words, our powers-that-be were caught flat-footed, mistook a spacecraft for a missile, or were for some reason lying.

If “a person is ever charged with counterfeiting, he should tell the judge he was engaging in monetary policy,” quipped the late economist Walter E. Williams. This comes to mind when pondering the 21st-century government habit called “quantitative easing.” Most Americans have probably heard this term, but may not know that it amounts to weasel words. It’s a euphemism — something you say when you don’t want to say what you really mean — sort of like using “pleasingly plump” instead of “fat.”
As for quantitative easing (QE), it actually means creating money backed by nothing; it’s legalized counterfeiting.
If you want to know why consumer prices rose at their fastest rate since 2008, 5.4 percent year over year in September, realize it’s no mystery. Some will blame greater demand due to Americans returning to “post-pandemic life” and labor shortages, and these may be immediate factors. But the big picture — and it is the big picture because it has become status quo — is that our government can create dollars at will.
