The war against Hamas in Israel is back on after a brief ceasefire. The Israelis have determined to totally defeat Hamas in Gaza, and then go after those who planned and lead the massacre that occurred on 10/7

Back in 2010, then German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that multiculturalism had "utterly failed". Thirteen years later, The PVV party (Party for Freedom) of Dutch politician Geert Wilders, has won enough seats in their parliamentary elections to make him the next Prime Minister.

After decades of dominance by the globalist left in Europe and elsewhere, the pendulum seems to be swinging back to the right.

I thought I was done with commenting on COVID and the Draconian measures that were taken in the name of protecting us from it. Turns out, I'm not quite done. I have to comment on this story from Just the News;

The lockdowns and the policy of keeping kids out of school violated at least two principles of American conservatism: Freedom of Association, and freedom from government overreach.

Turns out that American kids did suffer, just as a lot of conservatives and libertarians warned at the time. Now even the NYT is forced to admit it. This is part of the longest, least satisfying "I told you so" in recent human history.

In this episode, we give thanks to and for our Veterans and the sacrifices they made. Is American still worth their sacrifice, and is it still worth fighting for? A recent article in the Daily Signal deals with that question. It is, but if so, then why is it so hard to find men and women willing to fight for it? Can we take the fact that America is worth fighting for, for granted? Lots of people throughout history have been willing to fight and die for their country, but what is it about America that brings out this sentiment? The Marvels is the new movie out from Marvel Studios. Is it safe for conservatives? Surprisingly, wokism isn't the movies biggest problem. It's not high-art or even Marvel's best movie to come out this year, but it is fun and entertaining.

Recent events in Israel have led to the Left taking sides in the conflict, for Hamas and the Palestinians. This exposes some blaring inconstancies in the logic of their position. They universally claim to be against Nazism but seem to be quite comfortable with many of the more infamous practices associated with the Nazis: Authoritarianism, political violence, eugenics, and most recently they've shown a disturbing comfort with killing Jews just for being Jewish. So, what exactly is the Left's problem with the Nazis? The uniforms?

These logical inconsistencies can be traced to many things, but here are two of the main ones: A lack of objective morality, such is found though religion. Marxism has no place for religion. Another is little or no command of the facts. Leftism promotes feelings over fact, making them more suspectable to Hamas propaganda, which to them is true because it feels true. Academia, the mainstream media, and much of popular culture is dominated by the left, creating an echo chamber for their beliefs.

5 Things That Scare Conservatives.

A police state. The government using law enforcement to pursue political goals.

Out of control government spending. Increased spending causing more inflation, even hyper inflation.

CBDC, or a central bank digital currency. Would give the central government nearly total control over how its citizens live.

Institutionalized election fraud. The Democrats would like Americans to forget about ballot trafficking a'la 2000 Mules and the institutionalization of less secure ballots and elections.

4 more years of Biden (or any Democrat) in the White House American conservatives fear that the America that has existed for nearly 250 years, the republic our forefathers intended for us, will be gone.

5 things that scare the Left:

SCOTUS actually upholding the Constitution

Having to face their own antisemitism.

Any Republicans in the White House

Another Trump presidency

Losing Power

Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza has a new movie out called Police State. It's available to stream now. The move explores how America is on its way to becoming a full-fledged police state; how it started, what the components are, and who its victims might be.

Collectivism, and its derivative forms of communism, socialism, and fascism are historically, and demonstratively evil. Collectivism is part and parcel of leftism, the belief that the world runs on a binary, oppressor vs. oppressed system. Though leftism in its myriad forms has been responsible for the deaths of millions, and impoverishment of billions, is nonetheless attractive to a large section of the population. It's been around for a long time and has secreted itself into every nook and cranny of our society. Its ubiquitous makes it seem normal, even moral. It trades on deception, making bad things seem much like a good things. It exploits the natural needs of people to feel good about themselves, and allows for feeling good without actually doing good. Leftists tend to see only the superficial benefits of what they do, and rarely explore the second and third order of consequences to their policies. Corrupt politicians use leftist appeal to people's sense of altruism to achieve power. When the bill finally comes due for their reckless policies, they are long gone. It's the Left's casual, well-meaning supporters who are among those left paying the price. They are among those left holding the bag, without ever realizing they were asking for it all along.

Now that Hamas is killing Jews just for being Jews, will that make a difference to those on the left who sympathize with Palestine, but also claim to hate Nazis? If they've been lied to about the rocket that missed its target and landed in a hospital parking lot, what else might have they been lied to about?

For some casual leftists, the attack on Israel was a bridge too far. Their support for liberal causes end at killing innocent men, women and children.

Some people are confused as to what constitutes Nazi or Nazi-like behavior. Some examples of what is and isn't Nazi:

Supporting parental rights- NOT NAZI

Killing Jews just because they are Jews- NAZI

Pro-life views and laws- NOT NAZI

Wiping out entire families of non-combatants- NAZI

Hope that helps clear it up for ya!

Until next time,

Stay healthy, happy, and free!
