There’s much talk about who the 2024 Republican presidential nominee should be. Would Donald Trump pass voter muster? Florida governor Ron DeSantis? Someone else? Who can win?

The answer is, well, no one — according to a new report.

That is, unless Republicans radically change how they approach swing-state politics. This is for a simple reason, avers Jay Valentine, a fractal technology expert with electoral integrity entity Project Omega:

Maintaining the status quo ensures that the swing states in 2024 will swing only one way — towards vote fraud.

It’s well known that left-wing Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was a psychopath, a dark status that led to his exterminating 20 million human beings. Yet the people who help vault such tyrants to power — sometimes pejoratively called “useful idiots” — are well-meaning but naive sorts, right? Perhaps not always.

In fact, a new study informs, Stalin has much psychopathic (and narcissistic) company among leftists, including among today’s variety. Moreover, the researchers found that authoritarian-minded left-wingers often don’t care a whit about the altruism and “social justice” they trumpet, but instead “use political activism to endorse or exercise violence against others to satisfy their own ego-focused needs.”

If the “teaching in school today will become the politics of tomorrow,” as the apocryphal saying goes, there’s much cause for alarm. A case in point is a bisexual Nevada middle school teacher who claims that white people are “problematic,” education is “inherently racist,” and that our response should be to “start a riot.”

The only saving grace with “educator” Jennifer Leja, of Hyde Park Middle School in the Clark County district, is that she’s not exactly subtle. In fact, reported Fox News last Thursday, in a series of TikTok videos, the teacher sang “start a riot” in support of the following propositions (as presented by Fox):

• "Dress codes are sexist"
• "Education is inherently racist"
• "History is white-washed"
• "White teachers are problematic"

Though white herself, Leja nonetheless castigated….

A simple rule of life is that when you’re in a hole, stop digging. Since this applies to marketing, too, some observers are wondering if Bud Light’s strategists are a bit light in good sense. After all, beer maker Anheuser-Busch’s (AB’s) efforts to combat the boycott against it — and its attempt to play “both sides” in the Dylan Mulvaney controversy — have only exacerbated its woes.

First AB inspired mockery and were accused of pandering by rolling out an über-patriotic commercial on the Mulvaney scandal’s heels. Now, in a similar vein, the company will “temporarily redesign its Bud Light and Budweiser aluminum bottles with camouflage print in an effort to boost sales,” reports Fox News.

The norm for most of history, intellectual Steven Pinker once pointed out, was brutal tribal warfare in which the winner would kill all the vanquished’s men and older boys (and take the women). The principle is simple:

Neuter a society — emasculate it thoroughly — and control is yours.

A similar phenomenon is occurring in America today, though it’s more of an intellectual/emotional neutering. Some call this “America’s Manhood Crisis"….

We covered the slavery reparations issue from soup to nuts (and nuttiness). My appearance begins at 31:23.

Mind your manners, we were told as children. But may you one day have to mind your mind?

Mind-reading technology is still considered the stuff of science fiction, of, for example, the alien-origin children in movie Village of the Damned (1960) who could probe others’ thoughts. But China is already using “emotional surveillance technology” wireless sensors to monitor workers’ brain activity and emotional state. What’s more, this is mere small potatoes compared to what university researchers have just developed: a “noninvasive” means through which thoughts can be converted into text.

It’s not that government can’t clamp down on people when it wants to. The J6 prisoners’ treatment proves that abundantly. It’s that when it wants to, it’s not driven by the imperative of justice but the incentive of politics. A prime example is the Jordan Neely/Daniel Penny affair.

Neely, 30, the violent, deranged man who died while or after being restrained on a New York City subway May 1, had a voluminous rap sheet of 42 arrests. On the list are the kidnapping of a seven-year-old girl and multiple assaults, one of which was a 2021 attack on an elderly woman on whom Neely inflicted serious injuries. Yet he was still on the streets.

Penny, 24, the ex-Marine who (with others) helped restrain the unhinged Neely on May 1 — doing the job the authorities wouldn’t do — has now been charged with manslaughter by hard-left Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Perhaps the charge really should be something Bragg can’t brag about: “Being a real man in the third millennium.” Regardless, apparently upstanding citizen Penny could be off the streets for a long time. He faces 15 years’ incarceration.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Some may call it having created a monster. Others may say he’s being hoist with his own petard. What’s for sure is that after helping create his state’s “Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans,” California Governor Gavin Newsom is stuck between a rock and a very, very expensive place:

His task force just recommended an $800 billion reparations scheme — and Newsom, realizing he doesn’t actually have a money tree and that 27 more California gold rushes aren’t nigh, is balking at the bill.

In fact, now, says he, dealing with the Legacy of Slavery™ “is about much more than cash payments.”

Apparently, Hair Gel Gavin forgot to ensure that his task force appointees shared his primary concern: posturing. And as Obama’s erstwhile pastor Jeremiah Wright might say, “The chickens have come home to roost.”

Given that every member of his party voted for the legislation, perhaps it’s no surprise that Governor Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) signed into law Tuesday a bill that would allow his state to hide minors from parents. And why?

So the kids could proceed with sexual-distortion treatments (SDTs), euphemistically known as “gender-affirming care,” or have an abortion.

In other words, if destroying bodies is the goal, Washington state is all in — and the parents can be cut out.
