They didn’t exactly echo writer Susan Sontag and call whites “the cancer of human history,” but many left-wing pundits do apparently consider Caucasian Democrat candidates a pox on the presidential primaries. That is to say, with Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) exiting the race, Caucaphobic liberal commentators are raging against the whiteness of the remaining Democrat field — and are on the supposed “racism” of the Democrat electorate like white on rice.

The departure of Harris means that the next Democrat debate looks to be an all-white affair.

Believing your nation is illegitimate and perhaps should cease to exist shouldn’t be a résumé enhancer for a prospective leader. But presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg may disagree, as he recently expressed approval at the notion that the United States occupies stolen land — and that illegal aliens are merely exacting justice by “reclaiming” it. Moreover, Buttigieg actually asserted that illegals are “subsidizing everybody else.”

In an ironic twist, the previously incarcerated, on-probation London terrorist shot dead Friday launched his fatal knife attack at an event celebrating a rehabilitation program he’d been a part of — and he was there to discuss his thoughts on criminal-justice reform. Moreover, his two murdered victims were passionate believers in the program.

“Christians are exclusionary,” is the common gripe, usually registered by those who’d exclude Christianity. “We need to govern the world with universal values,” is the appeal, usually issued by those who scoff at true universals. These ideas again came to the fore in a recent social media debate involving a man who, though enduring job termination due to political correctness, himself became politically correct.

Will Michelle Obama’s 2018 book, Becoming, be followed by her becoming the Democrat presidential nominee? Observers such as radio giant Rush Limbaugh have long considered this a distinct possibility, and now Fox News titan Tucker Carlson has joined El Rushbo in thus opining.

“The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly,” goes the old saying. This applies to rules and social codes, too. And one bad standard that’s ever being enforced more strictly — allowing men claiming “transgender” status to compete in women’s sports — is about to give the movement it reflects a serious body shot, contends one commentator.

That blow will come next year, writes American Thinker’s Ned Barnett, as the “Tokyo Summer Olympics may spell the swift death of the transgender movement as a dominant politically-correct touchstone.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren, one-time Indian and beer drinker, would make a very dangerous president. This isn’t just because of her policies, which include ending the Electoral College, banning fracking everywhere, regulating a naturally occurring gas (CO₂), being radically pro-abortion, decriminalizing illegal border crossing, and free health care for illegal aliens. It’s not only her complete phoniness, which is in one way actually reassuring: It informs that the aforementioned policies are surely as pliable as her family history narrative. No, it’s also because she’s frightfully out of touch with reality in a largely unrecognized way, one common to leftists.

Does a bad idea become a good idea by becoming an actualized idea and a legal reality? Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin might ask this question about legal immigration, which she has proposed halting completely, at least for a time. Author of the new book Open Borders Inc.: Who's Funding America's Destruction? Malkin has also implored conservatives to move beyond “kindergarten” thinking on immigration and has warned of “diversity lottery” visas, which she calls “suicidal.”

When the governing class finds faith inconvenient, there are two ways of proceeding: the Soviet model of trying to crush it and the Nazi model of trying to co-opt it. Presidential contender Pete Buttigieg, the self-righteous sage of South Bend, is clearly in the latter camp.

The Army’s answer to Seinfeld’s George Costanza, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, made quite the statement Tuesday when admitting under oath that he was offered the position of Minister of Defense of Ukraine — three times. Vindman and the Ukrainian official extending the offer now both insist it was a joke, which may be true. But it’s irrelevant.

It should first be noted that a joke isn’t laugh-inducing the third time. All the same, the official making the offer, Ukraine’s former Chairman of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksander Danylyuk, wouldn’t be the first to overuse a line he fancied funny. But if it actually was funny even the first time, it would only be because of what it reflected: the same thing it would if it was uttered seriously.
