“There is a difference between being politically black and being racially black.” — Nikole Hannah-Jones

Yes, the difference is choosing to be a free American citizen or choosing to be a slave of the Democratics.

I will also say that The New Yorker is very late in noticing that colleges are in big trouble. Perhaps they could start fixing this horrific decline by ending all indoctrination efforts, terminating all instruction in useless degrees and taking steps to reinstitute academic standards, discipline and accountability. Bringing back blue books might be a way to start.

“Colorado grandfather detained by ICE while walking his dog.” — CBS News headline about an illegal immigrant with a rap sheet that includes over two dozen arrests for theft, assault and battery, damaging property, and shoplifting

The vast majority of Americans still watch CBS Nightly News and think they're getting truth and transparency. If you beg to differ, they think you're a crazy "conspiracy theorist". Most Americans are naive and totally captured by the propaganda being spewed at them on a daily basis.

It is no wonder that the majority of the truly outrageous and stupid comments this week were made on BlueSky or reliable LSM outlets. That way these strange, stupid and disturbed people will receive little to no meaningful pushback, ever.

My girl Jazz Crockett is now in the lead (hypothetically) for the Dem Senate spot in Texas next year. Imagine how the takes will ramp up if that happens?

Lets make this happen!

George Takei was sent to a Japanese internment camp when he was a child, which would surely influence anyone's perspective as an adult, but even he should know better than to say such hyperbolic nonsense.

I think the KBJ quote is the most worrying one on the list this week!

As much as I'd enjoy some schadenfreude if Mamdani becomes mayor, I take issue (I think) with Ms Polgreen from the NYT. I believe Zohran left South Africa at age 7, which feels a little young to demonstrate solidarity with anti-apartheid protestors. I struggle with how she can convince herself that Zohran self-selected Black/African American" as a "refusal of superior opportunities".

I’m going to paraphrase Garrison Keillor again. That icon of Liberal hypocrisy, who was taken down by his own tribe. Henry said something like this; there are people who feel themselves most free & strong, only when they are at odds with with someone else. He then proceeded advise “those people” to grow up, stop complaining & contribute to society. It was good advice. What many parents used to tell their children. Before Liberals decided that angry children were easier to control.
