Just Sayin’

• From Communism to transgenderism, why does it seem that all isms begin in Academica?
• The real danger from left wing extremism, such as woke ideology, is that they focus on policies that have failed!
• Parenting goes well beyond providing food, shelter and keeping kids safe; it also includes establishing standards in inculcating values. And while parents may set the bar too low life doesn’t.
• Today’s journalists don’t cover politics — they roleplay as its priests. They chant the liturgy – Trump is chaos, conservatives are fools, Europe is wise, liberals are noble, etc., etc. They are little more than pontificating frauds.
• The single biggest reason DEI has failed is that successful minorities resent it and find it insulting to being viewed as someone who attained their status due to their skin color.
• Genuinely good ideas don’t require slogans or a lot of jargon.
• The virtue signaling we see on the Left is more about words and less about action.
• Whenever the media tells us that this or that section of the economy is going to get hit by this or that economic policy, or that American consumers are going to “pay the price” for a particular government policy, it’s wise to keep in mind this simple economic reality – “What everyone wants is more than what is.”
• If America was truly as racist as the Democrats claim it to be, they wouldn’t have to manufacture racist hoaxes to prove that point – hello Jussie Smollet!
• Why does the Democrat Party continually make heroes out of people like Kilmar Abrego Garcia an illegal alien, human trafficker and MS-13 gang member or George Floyd a convicted felon who held a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly as he robbed her, or our aforementioned Jussie Smollett whose tale of woe should begin with “Once upon a time”?
• The first and only known instance of a sitting U.S. President ordering the killing of two U.S. citizens without due process was Barack Obama, when he “droned” American citizens Anwar al‑Awlaki and his son 16-year-old Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.
• Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico are insolvent fiscal disasters – why then are the democrats so insistent on making them the 51st and 52nd states respectively?
• Long before the 2024 presidential election a friend of mine predicted that if Donald Trump won, his policies would be challenged in the courts at every turn by activist liberal judges – vis-a-vis the foregoing it should be apparent  that Trump made the correct choice when he selected clear-thinking conservative Pam Bondi for A.G.
• The democrats have become masters of “psychological projection,” i.e., the practice of attributing their own motives and actions to others by accusing those they disagree with of the dishonesty, corruption, and authoritarianism they themselves are guilty of.
• Vis-à-vis what’s going on in Europe regarding laws making various forms of speech a crime, and the democrat’s intent to pack the Supreme Court when they’re back in power, it can be argued that Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter (now X) and Trump’s win over Kamala Harris in our last presidential election essentially saved free speech in this country – at least temporarily.
• No amount of government releases will ever be enough for the Left regarding the Epstein case – they just want to tie Trump to Epstein any way they can – even if its guilt by association.
• And speaking of Epstein – if there were any verifiable unsavory information linking Trump to Epstein you can bet it would have been leaked by now.
• We all know the story of the boy who cried wolf – and it appears that’s the bedrock of democrat strategy as every idea, policy or executive order from the administration is now a “threat to our democracy.”
• The reality is that women have been having abortions since they began having babies and the issue will never be settled to everyone’s agreement, so as a practical matter, I side with Bill Clinton – “Abortion should be safe, legal and rare.”
• What does it say about the Democrat Party that they believe it was moral to destroy federal immigration law but immoral to uphold it?
• Immigration into the U.S. should be legal, measured, diverse and meritocratic.  At the same time the government must offer programs to assimilate, integrate and acculturate these people.
• Charlie Kirk wanted to persuade young minds about the virtues of America, the wisdom of faith and leading a good life, and the leadership of Donald Trump.  And for that he was assassinated!  The Left has become the real fascists of the 21^st century.
• The nation was greeted by riots, looting, 33 deaths and $2 billion in property damage after the death of George Floyd; meanwhile we saw prayer vigils after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which should tell us all we need to know about the difference between progressive and conservative ideology.

Thought for the day:  The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.
