Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the United States a “fascist” country at a recent event — a rally for a man, socialist senator Bernie Sanders, who vows to prosecute citizens who’ve committed no crime. The irony was lost on many, notably Ocasio-Cortez herself, who also advocates government control over most every facet of Americans’ lives.

It’s not enough that the “browning of America,” as NPR put it, has been accompanied by the browning of previously white entertainment characters and “woke” films that wane at the box office. Now greater political correctness will reign behind the camera, too, with New York’s new “TV diversity bill.” Don’t expect greater ideological diversity, however — the kind mandated is purely superficial.

With both the Russia and Ukraine hoaxes having fizzled and the “legal” means for President Trump’s removal perhaps exhausted, at least for now, the Left appears to have moved on to a “moral” argument designed to influence the 2020 election. Initiated by Christianity Today and advanced by figures such as CNN’s Chris Cuomo, the idea is that Evangelicals — and by implication all Christians — should be ashamed to support Trump because he makes a “mockery” of their faith.
It’s an interesting argument not because it’s anything but a demagogic one, but because it relates to interesting issues completely eluding the very uninteresting people making the argument. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to hear them treated adequately.

Don’t try putting on a Drag Queen Story Hour in certain Polish towns — you’ll only get dragged away. In fact, more than 80 localities in the nation have explicitly declared themselves “LGBTQ-free zones,” raising sexual devolutionary ire to the point where the European Parliament has now condemned the declarations.

To the delight of conservatives and dismay of liberals, President Trump is doing more to reshape the American judiciary than any president in recent memory. It’s viewed as a “lasting legacy” that will ensure more “conservative” rulings — constitutionalist ones, actually — for perhaps decades to come. Unfortunately, a full understanding of the Constitution and leftists’ nature informs that this is an unfounded assumption.

Anti-gun leftists have long maintained that the Second Amendment only references a militia’s right to bear arms. So when your state proposes onerous gun-control laws, accompanied by an unofficial threat to use the National Guard to enforce them, what do you do?
If you’re a group of smart patriots, you form a militia.
This is exactly what’s happening in Virginia, according to Law Enforcement Today, as post-election Democrat dominance is causing many Old Dominion residents to take their state’s motto, Sic Semper Tyrannis (Thus ever to tyrants), more seriously.

“No one asked the people of the UK if we wanted our culture and way of life destroyed,” remarked British politician Janice Atkinson last year. Now her nation’s left-wing Labour Party has just been destroyed in the December 12th election because, as researcher Sumantra Maitra put it, the “woke” Left would not and will not “move right on culture and nationalism.”

“I’ll respect you in the morning” is what I half expect to hear. Of course, the Democrats now invoking the Founding Fathers’ memory in their effort to impeach President Trump won’t respect our colonial progenitors at the next dawn anymore than they did at the last one.
Nonetheless, the Left has interrupted its regularly scheduled programming of trying to tear down the Founders’ reputations and life’s work — the Electoral College, the First and Second Amendments, and the Constitution generally — to claim that those Enlightenment men are on their side.

What do you call a place where just laws are ignored while onerous ones are enforced, where criminals are elevated and good citizens subordinated?
Sadly, it can be called modern America, and the latest example is how illegal aliens in New York are now waiting in long lines for driver’s licenses without any fear of deportation. Meanwhile, NYC now prohibits (in certain contexts) calling someone an “illegal alien” “out of ‘hate’” or to refusing to use someone’s preferred Made-up Sexual Status (MUSS) pronouns, with fines for the latter being as high as $250,000.

Does the United States government already possess secret technology that makes science fiction a reality? Could fairly recent “UFO” videos, considered convincing by experts, be a glimpse into that technology? And despite this, could China be poised to overtake us in the space race and, ultimately, dominate the heavens and the Earth?
Recently retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast alluded to at least two of these possibilities at a lecture last month, saying, among other things, that “fantastic technology exists that could transport a human anywhere on earth within an hour…,"
