Will Someone Please Wake Me From This Nightmare? - American Thinker
Will Someone Please Wake Me From This Nightmare? - American Thinker - By Jim Hollingsworth
- When Joe Biden became president, America was on a solid footing, inflation was under control, we were energy independent, the price of gasoline was under $2.00, and things in America were great.
This is like a nightmare in which you are terrified only to awake and be thankful it was only a dream.
But the present nightmare is no dream, and things are only getting worse in America.
Will someone please wake me from this nightmare?
But the present nightmare is no dream, and things are only getting worse in America.
Will someone please wake me from this nightmare?
- While Trump was president, nearly 500 miles of wall were built and immigration was controlled. Biden has opened the border and invited all to come, and they are coming by the millions.
- When Biden became president, America was energy independent and we were even selling energy abroad. Biden stopped construction of oil pipelines, stopped drilling on public lands, and began a campaign against fossil fuels, the very product that has made America great. Will someone please wake me from this nightmare?...

The all-white seminar, “From Integration to Anti-Racism,” cost $360 to attend and met six times between February and June, according to a description of the program that has since been scrubbed from the university’s website without explanation.

Climate change extremists protest German airport over pollution - TheBlaze:
Climate change extremists caused travel turmoil at two German airports after the radicals glued themselves to the runways to protest pollution.
The Last Generation – a self-described "national student-led organization focused on raising awareness for climate change and environmental injustice" – blocked air traffic at airports in Hamburg and Düsseldorf.

Shot: Is Bezos Employee Jennifer Rubin Auditioning For a Job At The Babylon Bee?
—Newsalert, November 3rd, 2021.
Several days after Business Insider admitted they had published inaccurate numbers of state residents that moved to Florida during the COVID-19 pandemic, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin cited them and used them in an attack piece about Gov. Ron DeSantis’, R-Fla., leadership of the state....
* * * * * * * *
Despite Business Insider admitting its original claim was contrary to the actual numbers, Rubin published the debunked fact in her piece three days later.
On Saturday afternoon, the Post offered a correction to Rubin’s column, admitting to “mischaracterizing” the numbers: “A previous version of this article mischaracterized Floridians’ state-to-state migration in 2021. According to the Census Bureau, more people moved into Florida than any other state that year. This version has been corrected.”
—Fox News, yesterday.
Much of what Rubin writes these days is unintentionally satiric, but to be honest, I trust the reporting at America’s Newspaper of Record much more than the vast majority of the WaPo’s output. - Ed Driscoll

Trudeau blames Muslim parents' growing resistance to LGBT propaganda in schools on the 'American right wing' - TheBlaze:
Muslim parents are increasingly joining the revolt against the indoctrination of children in schools by LGBT propagandists. This is now especially true in Canada.

When Ray Charles culturally appropriated Eddy Arnold
When Ray Charles culturally appropriated Eddy Arnold"The Washington Post — owned by Jeff Bezos — ventured into country music this weekend.
It did not go well because if there is one thing DC journalists know less than guns, it is country music.
The Bezos Post reported, “Tracy Chapman, Luke Combs and the complicated response to Fast Car.
“Combs’s remake of Chapman’s 1988 hit now dominates the country charts, renewing difficult conversations about diversity in Nashville.”
Difficult conversations is dog whistle racism by Bezos and his Post — at least according to my cat. I cannot hear dog whistles.
