Journalists Are Completely Out Of Touch With America And Reality - Tilting At Windmills
"When you get up in the morning, what are you worried about?
For most of us, there are degrees of worry. 

You may be predominantly worried about some work task, but on a different level, you might be worried about, say, terrorism.
You’re concerned about both, of course, but there are layers of that concern.

• It seems that left-leaning publication Axios doesn’t really get that.

...The big picture: Workers are burned out not just by their jobs but by the cultural drama around them — fallout from the Trump presidency, continued police shootings, and the consequences of Jan. 6.
That’s right. 

People aren’t interested in working because of what happened at the Capitol on January 6th or because of police shootings. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

...Here’s what National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke had to say on the subject.
Once again, I must ask: Has the average member of the press corps ever actually met anyone in America?
This isn’t a conservative-vs.-progressive thing.

It’s not a Republican-vs.-Democrat thing. 

It’s not a coastal-elite-vs.-flyover-country thing. 

It’s not even a Trump thing.

•  It’s a journalists-vs.-normal-people thing.

Outside of the narcissistic and incestuous Thunderdome that houses the American media, it remains the case that people simply do not think in the way that the Beltway-media class believes they do. 

They are not traumatized by the daily news. 

They do not make key life decisions based upon the behavior of the president, nor wait for him to leave office before deciding that they are so disturbed that they no longer wish to work.

...And when they are looking to enjoy a good “cultural drama,” they do not look for it in the same places as the editors of the Washington Post do...Read all.

Washington Post condemned for video urging Americans to set up 'white accountability groups' | Daily Mail Online

Washington Post is condemned for video urging Americans to set up 'white accountability groups' and force themselves into 'a period of deep shame' over their skin color

The video is the latest in a podcast series called The New Normal hosted by Nicole Ellis

It aired on Friday, and suggests white people segregate themselves into groups to discuss how white people have harmed people of color over history

One expert on the episode, Resmaa Manakem, suggests people take part in these groups for years before they can confront people of color

Trauma therapist Ilyse Kennedy said she took part in one such group and said it was important for white people to feel 'a period of deep shame'

The episode faced backlash, with one saying the suggestions were akin to a 'pseudoreligious movement' and constituted 'neoracism'  

The Sick Joke of "Reopening" After the Scamdemic

The Sick Joke of "Reopening" After the Scamdemic

"Oh, how nice. 

Close small businesses for a year. 

Then reopen them, but empower the government to pay all the former employees 3x what the small businesses are able to pay. 

• Destroy market pricing, the foundation of any free market economy. 
• Destroy the moral character of millions by paying them to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and telling them that it makes them superior, and they are entitled to at least this much because people are “mean”, and mean people suck. 

Then, in the midst of it all, pass minimum wage laws and wonder why more businesses shut down and the cost of goods and services skyrocket. 

These are not innocent mistakes. 

These are not errors. 

They are the deliberate destruction of a society and the world’s greatest economy by what we call a government…and what is really nothing more than a glorified bunch of punks, idiots, demented despots, cackling imbeciles, self-righteous narcissists and irredeemably nihilistic twits."

America's shame!

Policies Have Consequences: Five Things You Should Know | American Center for Law and Justice: 

The United States is facing a plethora of challenges and crises in national security, economics, and foreign policy directly related to the Executive orders and policies of President Joe Biden.  Biden’s presidency is beginning to resemble Jimmy Carter’s—where matters beyond his control were exacerbated by weak reactions and poor policies.

In a mere four months, here is a short list of problems that seem to be self-inflicted by the new Administration.

‘Catastrophic impact’: Tasmanian devils ‘wipe out’ large penguin colony on Australian island as animal introduction goes wrong

‘Catastrophic impact’: Tasmanian devils ‘wipe out’ large penguin colony on Australian island as animal introduction goes wrong

"Australia’s endangered Tasmanian devils have eliminated a local colony of penguins and decimated other bird fauna after they were brought to Maria Island in a bid to save them from extinction due to animal cancer.

According to The Australian newspaper, the devils were introduced to the tiny island off Tasmania’s east coast in 2012 as an “insurance population” due to the fears that a raging facial tumor disease would make the raccoon-sized creatures disappear completely.

The arrival of the world’s largest surviving carnivorous marsupials took a horrible toll on the island’s bird colony, as the initial group of 28 devils on Maria grew to 100 in just a few years...Read all.

The city where a Juneteenth parade is fine, but 4th of July parade is canceled

The city where a Juneteenth parade is fine, but 4th of July parade is canceled
"Now that Juneteenth is officially a federal holiday, people have an excuse to schedule yet another parade every year...

But how many parades would be considered too many? 

We may be finding out the answer to that question in Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. 

• You see, after President Biden signed the law creating Juneteenth as a federal holiday, Evanston quickly launched a celebration, including a parade. 
• And since June is also gay pride month, the city is planning a Gay Pride parade for next weekend. 

And the week after that will be the 4th of July. 

But the magic maximum number of parades might be three because there will be no parade on Independence Day...Read all.

Biden dumping illegal migrants around the nation without notice | Washington Examiner
"The Biden administration is speeding up the placement of young illegal immigrants in cities around the nation with little or no notice to local officials, a “reckless” result of the president’s bid to erase the border legacy of former President Donald Trump, according to a leading GOP critic.

Indiana Sen. Todd Young told Secrets that there has been a 45% surge in children that entered the United Statesunaccompanied by an adult being sent to the Hoosier State. 

..."These experiences sow seeds of mistrust in our communities, and work to intentionally subvert the will of the people for a secure border and a clear, lawful immigration process," they said in a letter to a Senate committee...Read all.

The view from shell-shocked America 8 months after 9-11-----Better Dead Than Rude--May 24th, 2002

Column on the culture--  Better Dead Than Rude--John Derbyshire

• ..."There will be another terrorist attack. We will not be able to stop it," FBI Director Mueller told the National Association of District Attorneys meeting in suburban Alexandria, Va. "It's something we all live with."
  
• Senator Bob Graham, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, speaking amid new warnings of attacks on the United States, confirmed reports that about two dozen "extremists" had recently entered America hidden in container ships and were now on the loose.
• Vice-President Dick Cheney told Meet the Press: "In my opinion the prospects of a future attack on the United States are almost certain."

..."Congress has authority to pass a law tomorrow asking aliens from suspect countries to leave."

...They might, for example, follow AUNT CLONER's advice and 

• politely ask all visitors from an obvious list of nations to leave. Nothing wrong with that: we are not, as a nation, under any moral, ethical, legal or constitutional obligation to play host to visitors from other countries. 
• Or our government might deploy the military on the borders, as they are entitled to (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8). 
• Or they might offer a bounty to any citizen who reports a visitor overstaying his visa, or who files a report leading to a terrorism-related conviction. 
• There are all sorts of things they might do.

On the premises stated above — that the administration is not composed of liars or fools — it can only be the case that they do not do any of these things because they believe them to be politically impossible. 

They believe, in other words, that the American people would not stand for seeing (to take one example) Saudi visitors and students being asked to leave. 

Or, at a minimum, they believe that such actions, if initiated, could be spun by skillful operators to the great political disadvantage of the administration.

...And I am sure they are right. 

Actions that our government might take, and laws that our representatives might pass, none of them obviously unconstitutional or inhumane, are just not politically possible. 

Cheney and Co. believe they have done everything that they can, in all political possibility, do, and I think their belief is correct. 

And: "There will be another terrorist attack" (Mueller). 

And: Two dozen extremists are on the loose (Graham). 

And: "The prospects of a future attack on the United States are almost certain" (Cheney).

Whitmer to Use Coronavirus Testing $$ for 'Whole-of-Child' Programs

Whitmer to Use Coronavirus Testing $$ for 'Whole-of-Child' Programs: 

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) told schools last week that they plan to continue testing students for the coronavirus and will use funds received from the federal government for new “whole-of-child” approaches.

Imagine if it was reversed.
