A coronavirus panic is being vigorously promoted today by the lamestream media in response to their Democrat congresscritter masters who are doing everything they can to somehow blame the whole thing on President Trump, and convince our light thinkers that his administration is doing not enough while leaving the whole country vulnerable to a killer pandemic. These people with no other believable agenda to their name for November are simply sick.
[27feb20 update] The fabric of civilization is gossamer thin. That has been the message to us over the ages and also here over the years. And as we have 1) become ever more dependent on the comprehensively interconnected ‘grid’ that lets us communicate, travel, shop, get healthcare, secure our communities, …, and 2) become ever more entitled to receive OPM-funded largess from governments, then the breakdown in any part of these complex supportive systems can create a catastrophic ripple of breakdowns. Both of these factors make our civilization’s support systems brittle. We are again in the process of getting a lesson in this. But what should be most disturbing is that we have a political party that aims to make these already tendentiously fragile systems ever more interconnected, centrally controlled, dubiously funded, and therefore more brittle.
‘The Roots of Our Partisan Divide’ are illuminated by Christopher Caldwell, Harvard-educated senior fellow at the Claremont Institute. He explains how the civil rights laws of 1964 and 1965 started the partisan rip, and how the courts have made these laws into an existential constitution that contends with the one bequeathed by our Founders. Abetted by progressive judges, unelected bureaucrats took over – “The problem is that when the work of the civil rights legislation was done—when de jure segregation was stopped—these new powers were not suspended or scaled back or reassessed. On the contrary, they intensified.”
Union columnist Terry McLaughlin wrote ‘Willing to take a risk on the New Way Forward Act?’, a piece of radical leftwing legislation (HR5383) that would, among other atrocities, allow the release of criminal illegal aliens back into our communities. The Union, in its political correctness and without notifying Ms McLaughlin, changed her original text citing “illegal aliens” into “people living in the country without legal permission”. Such editing is utter bullshit. Illegal alien is the correct legal description of non-citizens illegally in the United States. It is the progressive propaganda machine that seeks to obfuscate that correct label for their less-read share of Americans – in short, promoting a fraud. Even ‘undocumented immigrant’ continues to promote the leftwing charade, which is today also used by chicken journalists on the Right (e.g. FN). Few people still remember that immigration is legal entry into a country under a two-party contract, and that’s why ‘illegal alien’ correctly identifies those non-citizens among us illegally. The Union should stiffen their editorial backbone.
