Will the chickens come home to roost-----The Debasement of Our Professional and Political Classes

- Leftist professionals in politics, government, and private enterprise debased themselves for short-term political gain, or in furor at their bogeyman Trump, or in anger at the unwashed. By Victor Davis Hanson
And it will be interesting to watch whether the Republicans abide by them in November should they take back the House and perhaps the Senate—and the presidency in 2024 as well.
- Will they follow the New Testament’s turn-the-other-cheek forbearance,
- or go for Old Testament style eye-for-an-eye retribution?

LOS ANGELES, California — Seventeen gangs are targeting the city’s wealthiest residents, often following them out of stores and restaurants before robbing them, according to a new task force of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday on the results of an investigation into the phenomenon of “follow-home” or “follow-off” robberies, which have been part of a major crime wave experienced by residents over the past few years.
The Times reported:
More than a dozen Los Angeles gangs are targeting some of the city’s wealthiest residents in a new and aggressive manner, sending out crews in multiple cars to find, follow and rob people driving high-end vehicles or wearing expensive jewelry..."

- “One study found that school closures at the end of the previous 2019-2020 school year are associated with 13.8 million years of life lost.
- An [National Institutes of Health] analysis found that life expectancy for high school graduates is 4 to 6 years longer than high school dropouts,” the authors wrote. “The [Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development] estimates that learning losses from pandemic era school closures could cause a 3% decline in lifetime earnings, and that a loss of just one third of a year of learning has a long-term economic impact of $14 trillion.”
The report noted that, “Unlike mortality or economic outcomes, closing public schools was entirely under the control of policymakers.
Almost all private schools were open...Read all!!!”

While many have already focused on the harm of school closures to children, the shocking devastation to those who were infants and toddlers during the period of social mummification are incalculable and just becoming apparent. The report makes numerous observations regarding the youngest of children, now approximately 3-6 years old:
We are living in Renaissance America. That is not a compliment. It's a regression.
Facebook Harriett Lublin
"I've said it often and it bears repeating. 
We are living in Renaissance America.
That is not a compliment.
It's a regression.
We have abdicated our rights as citizens because we couldn't be bothered to govern ourselves.
We threw away a gift generations dreamed and died for, in the name of comfort and private pursuits that we are now going to lose forever due to our own neglect.
In the past few decades we allowed representative government to mutate into an aristocracy.
- Congress is a new class of nobility, the Supreme Court is an appointed priesthood interpreting sacred texts according to its whims, and presidents have power that emperors didn't dare dream of.
- Our politicians see themselves as "leaders" and not holders of a temporary and revocable public trust. They see us as clay to be molded, problems to be solved, or sources of revenue to be milked.
We are becoming subjects, and forgetting how to be citizens.
This was never meant to happen.
It shouldn't have happened.
And the corruption of the republic, with its bankruptcy of spirit, morals and ethics, has been revealed amid the resurgence of war, plague, and superstition.
Will there even be a reformation in our lifetimes?

JustTheNews digs deeper into the Hunter Biden files (you know, the ones everyone told us was Russian disinformation) and finds yet more shady sh*t:
“[M]emos gathered by the FBI show, the charitable discussions evolved into an expanding relationship between Hunter Biden and Chinese energy giant CEFC to include business deals that would eventually reap the Biden family millions of dollars.”
For those who think this is nothing, and has no bearing on the President, you need only answer ONE question to shut me up:

No, this isn’t the Babylon Bee.
- Södra Bergens Balalaikor, a band first formed in 1969, had been scheduled to play a charity concert to support Ukraine in the Swedish city of Uppsala.
- However, their appearance was cancelled after bedwetting morons complained that the balalaika, a three-string musical instrument with a characteristic triangular wooden body, was a “national symbol of Russia.”
- “People wrote that the balalaika is a symbol for Russia and to play for Ukraine on a balalaika is a sacrilege. They compared it to a swastika,” Jonas Nyberg, one of the members of the orchestra, told Swedish broadcaster SVT....link
