Why Gen. Mark Milley should be court-martialed
Chris Farrell
10-12 minutes September 1, 2022


Gen. Milley must be held to account for his conduct and selectively leaked statements. His conduct goes far beyond the controversy of the Mitchell court-martial. Mitchell pales by comparison. His reported actions, if true, are the most egregious examples of treasonous subversion by a commissioned officer of the United States since Maj. Gen. Benedict Arnold.

• Chris Farrell is the Director of Investigations & Research for Judicial Watch and a former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Officer.

August 31, 2022

In Connecticut, an assistant principal bragged about his discriminatory hiring practices. He explicitly, unapologetically, and proudly discriminates against conservatives, Catholics, and people over the age of 30. These prospects are too difficult for him to manipulate and often don’t comply with his wretched ideologies. I had to see it myself to believe it:

Assistant Principal Brags About Religious Discrimination

Assistant Principal Brags About Discrimination Against Catholics and Conservatives

It’s impossible to say how many other teachers act and think like Boland. He even said that parents are a huge obstacle to his teaching. It’s very fortunate that he got himself caught. If only we could be so lucky with the rest.

As reported by LifeNews:

Project Veritas, a guerilla journalism outlet, spoke with Cos Cob Elementary School Assistant Principal Jeremy Boland about his hiring process for elementary school teachers in newly released video footage. Boland said in multiple undercover interviews that he does not hire Catholic or conservative educators and attempts to hire candidates exclusively under the age of 30.

The undercover journalist asked Boland whether he found that individuals with religious views “tend to be more right-wing?”

“Almost all of them,” Boland said. “I’m not a huge expert on religion, but Protestants in this area are probably the most liberal. But if they’re Catholic — conservative.”

Boland dubbed Catholics “brainwashed.” When asked what Boland does when he finds out that a candidate is Catholic, he said, “You don’t hire them.”

He stated that younger candidates were much more liberal and malleable. Older candidates, he said, are set in their ways, and significantly more likely to be conservative. He even said that he trains and conditions his staff to think in a more liberal way. He works to cultivate an environment that would naturally brainwash students toward the left of center.

“Believe it or not, the open-minded, more progressive teachers are actually more savvy about delivering a Democratic message without really ever having to mention their politics. They’ll never say, ‘Oh, this is a liberal or Democratic way of doing this.’ They just make that the norm.”

Greenwich Public Schools placed Jeremy Boland on leave until further notice.

A spokesman for Greenwich Public Schools told the Daily Caller the following:

“Late last evening, we were made aware of a video that had gone viral with a current administrator from Cos Cob School. We intend to do a full investigation and until that time, we will not make any public statements. We ask that you respect the investigation process during this time,” the spokesman said.

“We do not, however, support any opinions that promote discriminatory hiring practices based on race, religion, gender, or age in any way, and we want to remind our entire community that our curriculum policies and procedures are strictly enforced by our Board,” he concluded.

We cannot stand for this madness. It’s time to take back our education system.

Prestigious NYC Private School Director Touts ‘Sneaking’ Her Political ‘Agenda’ into Classrooms: ‘Disrupt Wherever I Can’ … ‘I Felt Like a Double Agent’ … ‘Huge Contingent’ of White Boys ‘Are Just Horrible’

• Jennifer Norris, Director of Student Activities, Trinity School NYC: “I just keep trying to disrupt wherever I can. And now that I'm in this position, I have so many opportunities to do that.”

• Norris: “I don’t hide how I feel, but I can’t pretend I’m [not] promoting an agenda even though I clearly am with all the stuff I’m doing.”

• Norris: “There’s always groups of teachers who want to do these [activist] things, but the administration just wouldn’t let us. So, we’ve been just sneaking things in [through] the cracks.”

• Norris: “When I first started there [at Trinity School NYC], I hid my whole life. I felt like a double agent or something.”

• Norris: “Unfortunately, it’s the white boys who feel very entitled to express their opposite opinions and just push back. There’s a huge contingent of them that are just horrible. And you’re like, ‘Are you always going to be horrible, or are you just going to be horrible right now?’ Don’t know…I think they need to go. I think they’re really awful people…They’re so protected by capitalism. It makes me sad.”

• Norris: Trinity School NYC is “definitely a school where conservatives would not feel comfortable.”

• Norris: “I’m in charge” and “I won’t” allow Republican perspectives on campus. “Not on my watch.”

• Norris: “I talked to the [Trinity NYC high school] principal and I was like, ‘So, if I’m running this, I’m 100% democratic with the students. I will tell them the [speaker] options and they are voting.’ I’m not going to just be like, ‘These are our speakers for the year.’ I want to make sure the kids are engaged and care. So, I do put a lot of it on them, but I said, ‘There are some speakers I am not even going to put on the plate for them [students], and if that’s a problem, I cannot be in charge of that.’ And he [principal] was like, ‘No.’ He said, ‘This isn’t the time for both [political] sides.’ He said, ‘We’re not in that place in our society.’”

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Sedevacantism in Three Minutes

Sep 30, 2016

Roman Catholic Media

Sedevacantism in three minutes.

Sedevacantism is the position of those Catholics who refuse to recognize Jorge Bergoglio as a true pope.
The sedevacantists affirm that the See of Peter is vacant, on account of the apostasy from the faith on the part of the official hierarchy, since the promulgation, in 1965, of the documents of the Second Vatican Council.

The sedevacantist reasoning is quite simple, and the facts on which it is based are empirically verifiable.
When one compares the teachings of the Church before and after Vatican II, it is easy to realize that there was a substantial change in doctrine.

But the Church cannot substantially change its own teaching, since it enjoys a special assistance of the Holy Ghost by which it is infallible in questions of faith and morals, and therefore indefectible, that is, the Church will remain the same, as Christ founded it, until the end of times.

By the way, the infallibility and indefectibility of the Church are truths of faith, that is, if someone were to deny it its prerogatives, he would cease, by that very fact, to be a Roman Catholic.

The only valid conclusion is that the hierarchy responsible for the doctrinal rupture in Vatican II, lacks all ecclesiastical authority. If we apply this to the papacy, it simply means that the See of Peter is vacant. Thus the term “sedevacantism”.

But, how is it that the See of Peter has been vacant for such a long time?

Even though Vatican II gave origin to a new religion, it nevertheless did not found, in a juridical sense, a new church.

The faculty to designate the pope belongs still today to the cardinals.

Heresy, which is an obstacle to jurisdiction or ecclesiastical authority, is not an obstacle to the power of designation, which is a human faculty.

Since the cardinals, responsible for electing the pope, also adhere to the Vatican II teachings, the vacancy of the See will continue as long as this situation remains unchanged, that is, until the election of a candidate capable of receiving authority.

For that to happen, one or more Cardinals must return to the Catholic faith. Well… difficult… yes… But let us remember that what is impossible for men, is easy for God.

Why does God permit this situation? A general principle is valid here: God allows evil to happen in order to draw from it a greater good.

Sacred Scripture speaks about a general apostasy, a defection of the Christian West, which in turn will be the occasion for the conversion of the Jewish People.

Let us not forget that the rejection of Christ by the Jews became the occasion for the spread of the true faith among the Gentiles.

If we look at it with the eyes of faith, living in these times is quite a privilege for true Catholics.
If this is the first time you have heard about sedevacantism, read more about it, do some research. As you can see, there is much at stake.

Dachsie comment:

Just thought I would post this little note and article because I think people may not understand that people with personality disorders are people said to be a "psychopath" but they generally are not "psycho" or a person who has lost contact with reality.

Thought I would share this article about "psychopaths" / psychopathy.
The url is no longer working and it may be somewhere on the web now with a different url.

Psychopath / Psychopathy and Sociopath / sociopathy are classified as "personality disorders."
There is no medication to be taken for this condition. There have been very few studies or proofs that personality disorders can be related to a physical brain or nervous system disorder. Patients with this diagnosis can live in society and do not generally require confinement in a mental institution. However some of them can end up in prison for various kinds of crimes committed. Some of them can end up with a highly paid position in a large corporation or other kind of large organization, such as an agency of the government. It is my understanding that people who have this condition can be quite aware that they have something "wrong or different" with themselves and they need to keep it hidden. They can successfully hide the fact that they have the features, described in the article below. Those diagnosed with a personality disorder and are referred to as psychopaths do not qualify for government disability assistance and may or may not receive counseling from a psychologist rather than a psychiatrist.

_______________

Another mental disorder classification is Psychosis. It has five or six sub-classifications and is generally a condition in which there are episodes of loss of contact with reality and there are hallucinations and delusions and extreme episodes that can involve violent behavior. One of the subclassifications is "schizophrenia" and another is Bi-polar disorder (or manic - depressive disorder).
Psychoses usually require prescription medication and it is extremely important for these diagnosed patients to take their medicine in order to remain in society with basic food and shelter accommodations. These diagnosed people usually do qualify for "permanent disability" government assistance.
I believe that there is growing evidence of physical brain - neuropathy involvement that causes the condition. This is also referred to as "a chemical imbalance in the brain.

What Is a Psychopath?
Online: My home page
11-14 minutes

First, a bit of terminological history to clear up any confusion about the meanings of “sociopath,” “psychopath,” and related terms. In the early 1800s, doctors who worked with mental patients began to notice that some of their patients who appeared outwardly normal had what they termed a “moral depravity” or “moral insanity,” in that they seemed to possess no sense of ethics or of the rights of other people. The term “psychopath” was first applied to these people around 1900. The term was changed to “sociopath” in the 1930s to emphasize the damage they do to society. Currently, researchers have returned to using the term “psychopath.”

Some researchers use the term "psychopath" to refer to a more serious disorder, linked to genetic traits, which produces more dangerous individuals, while continuing to use “sociopath” to refer to less dangerous people who are seen more as products of their environment, including their upbringing. Other researchers make a distinction between “primary psychopaths,” who are thought to be genetically caused, and “secondary psychopaths,” seen more as a product of their environments.
The current approach to defining psychopathy and the related concepts is to use a list of criteria. The first such list was developed by Hervey Cleckley (1941), who is known as the first person to describe the condition in detail. Anyone fitting enough of these criteria counted as a psychopath or sociopath. There are several such lists in use. The most commonly used is called the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), developed by Robert Hare and his colleagues. An alternative version, called the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI), was developed in 1996 by Lilienfeld and Andrews.

The book that psychologists and psychiatrists use to categorize and diagnose mental illness, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, contains a category for something called “antisocial personality disorder” (APD), while the World Health Organization delineates a similar category it calls "dissocial personality disorder." These are much broader categories than psychopathy. The category of psychopath is seen as included within this category, but considerably smaller so that only roughly 1 in 5 people with APD is a psychopath (Kiehl and Buckholtz, 2010).

If we overlay all of these lists of criteria, we can see them coalescing into the following core set:

Uncaring

The PCL describes psychopaths as being callous and showing a lack of empathy, traits which the PPI describes as “coldheartedness.” The criteria for dissocial personality disorder include a “callous unconcern for the feelings of others.” There are now several lines of evidence that point to the biological grounding for the uncaring nature of the psychopath. For most people, caring is a largely emotion-driven enterprise. The brains of psychopaths have been found to have weak connections among the components of the brain’s emotional systems. These disconnects seem to be responsible for the psychopath’s inability to feel emotions deeply. Psychopaths are also not good at detecting fear in the faces of other people (Blair et al., 2004). The emotion of disgust also plays an important role in our ethical sense. We find certain types of unethical actions disgusting, and this works to keep us from engaging in them and makes us express disapproval of them. But psychopaths have extremely high thresholds for disgust, as measured by their reactions when shown disgusting photos of mutilated faces or exposed to foul odors.

One promising new line of research is based on the discovery of a brain network responsible for understanding the minds of others. Called the default mode network (because it also performs other tasks and is operating most of the time when we are awake), it involves a cluster of several different areas in the brain’s cortex. The first studies have been done on the function of this network in psychopaths, and as expected, there are problems there. Different studies have noted “aberrant functional connectivity” among the parts of the network, along with reduced volume in some of the network's crucial areas.

Shallow emotions

Psychopaths show a lack of emotion, especially social emotions such as shame, guilt, and embarrassment. Cleckley said that the psychopaths he came into contact with showed a “general poverty in major affective reactions” and a “lack of remorse or shame.” The PCL describes psychopaths as “emotionally shallow” and showing a lack of guilt. Psychopaths are notorious for their lack of fear. When normal people are put into an experimental situation where they anticipate that something painful will happen, such as a mild electric shock or a mildly aversive pressure applied to a limb, a brain network activates. Normal people will also show a clear skin conductance response produced by sweat gland activity. In psychopathic subjects, however, this brain network showed no activity, and no skin conductance responses were emitted (Birbaumer et al., 2012).

• Find a therapist who understands personality disorders

Irresponsibility

According to Cleckley psychopaths show unreliability, while the PCL mentions “irresponsibility,” and the PPI describes psychopaths as showing “blame externalization” (i.e., they blame others for events that are actually their fault). They may admit blame when forced into a corner, but these admissions are not accompanied by a sense of shame or remorse, and they have no power to change the sociopath’s future behavior.

Insincere speech

Ranging from what the PCL describes as “glibness” and “superficial charm,” to Cleckley’s “untruthfulness” and “insincerity,” to outright “pathological lying,” there is a trend toward devaluing speech among psychopaths by inflating and distorting it toward selfish ends. The criteria for APD include “conning others for personal profit or pleasure.” One concerned father of a young sociopathic woman said, “I can't understand the girl, no matter how hard I try. It's not that she seems bad or exactly that she means to do wrong. She can lie with the straightest face, and after she's found in the most outlandish lies she still seems perfectly easy in her own mind” (Cleckley, 1941, p. 47). This casual use of words may be attributable to what some researchers call a shallow sense of word meaning. Psychopaths do not show the same differential brain response to emotional terms over neutral terms that normal people do (Williamson et al., 1991). They also have trouble understanding metaphors and abstract words.

Psychopathy Essential Reads

Overconfidence

The PCL describes sociopaths as possessing a “grandiose sense of self-worth.” Cleckley speaks frequently of the boastfulness of his patients. Hare (1993) describes an imprisoned sociopath who believed he was a world-class swimmer.

Narrowing of attention

According to Newman and his colleagues, the core deficit in psychopathy is a failure of what they call response modulation (Hiatt and Newman, 2006). When normal people engage in a task, we are able to alter our activity or modulate our responses, depending on relevant peripheral information that appears after the task has begun. Psychopaths are specifically deficient in this ability, and according to Newman, this explains the impulsivity of psychopaths, a trait that shows up in several of the lists of criteria, as well as their problems with passive avoidance and with processing emotions.

Top-down attention tends to be under voluntary control, whereas bottom-up attention happens involuntarily. But bottom-up attention can temporarily capture top-down attention, as when movement in the periphery of our visual field attracts our attention. Psychopaths have trouble using top-down attention to accommodate information that activates bottom-up attention during a task. In normal people, this process tends to happen automatically. When the hunter is scanning for deer, a rabbit hopping into the periphery of his visual field automatically attracts his attention. Top-down attentional processes monitor the field of attention for conflicts and resolve them. The standard task for assessing this is called the Stroop task, in which the subject must state which color words are printed in. The problem is that the words themselves are conflicting color words, such as “red” printed in blue ink, so the subjects must suppress a strong inclination to read the words. There are now several studies indicating that psychopaths actually perform better than normal people on these tasks, perhaps because they are not distracted by the discrepant color (Hiatt et al., 2004; Newman et al., 1997).

Selfishness

Cleckley spoke of his psychopaths showing a “pathologic egocentricity [and incapacity for love],” which is affirmed in the PPI by its inclusion of egocentricity among its criteria. The PCL also mentions a “parasitic lifestyle.”

Inability to plan for the future

Cleckley said that his psychopaths showed a “failure to follow any life plan.” According to the PCL, psychopaths have a “lack of realistic long-term goals,” while the PPI describes them as showing a “carefree nonplanness.”

Violence

The criteria for dissocial personality include a “very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence.” The criteria for antisocial personality disorder include: "irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults.”

Philosophers can play a valuable role here in discerning the consequences of all of these findings for our attempts to build an ethical society. Several questions need addressing. What does the possibility that psychopathy is genetic say about human nature? What steps can we take to “correct” psychopaths, and which of these is the most ethical? If it is true that psychopaths have damaged or abnormal brains, can we hold them responsible for what they do? Are there degrees of psychopathy, so that normal people may possess psychopathic traits?

There are times, in dealing with evil people of bad will, when charity demands speaking and acting harshly. Thus Jesus Christ called the scribes and pharisees “blind guides,” “whitewashed tombs,” “a brood of vipers,” and violently overturned the tables in the temple and drove out the merchants. The deeply evil Antipope Francis and the rest of his fellow wolves in shepherds’ clothing have also shown themselves deserving of the harshest words and punishment, because, while posing as angels of light, they’re relentlessly assaulting the actual Catholic Church and leading millions upon millions upon hundreds of millions upon billions of souls to hell.

Harsh words against them and punishment of them would be quite consistent with charity; indeed, charity demands it. In a healthier age, Francis and his ilk would long ago have been burned at the stake.

“Where there is no hatred of heresy, there is no holiness.“

-Fr. Faber

“The declared enemies of God and His Church, heretics and schismatics, must be criticized as much as possible, as long as truth is not denied. It is a work of charity to shout: ‘Here is the wolf!’ when it enters the flock or anywhere else.”

-St. Francis de Sales

One Sins by Not Becoming Duly Irate
https://www.traditioninaction.org/re...07rp_Irate.htm

The liberal myth spreads that a man should never become irate; he should always be mild-mannered and unruffled. This is not, however, the teaching of the Church. St. John Chrysostom and St. Thomas Aquinas explain that it is not only good, but also necessary to become irate for a due cause. Doing this, a man acts according to reason, not passion. If he fails to be irate before evil and punish it as it should be punished, then he sins.

St. John Chrysostom

Only the person who becomes irate without reason, sins. Whoever becomes irate for a just reason is not guilty. Because, if ire were lacking, the science of God would not progress, judgments would not be sound, and crimes would not be repressed.

Further, the person who does not become irate when he has cause to be, sins. For an unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices: it fosters negligence, and stimulates not only the wicked, but above all the good, to do wrong.

(Homily XI super Matheum, 1c, nt.7)


St. Thomas Aquinas

Ire may be understood in two ways.

In one way, as a simple movement of the will that inflicts punishment not through passion, but by virtue of a judgment of the reason: and in this case, without a doubt, lack of ire is a sin. This is how Chrysostom understands ire when he says: ‘Ire, when it has a cause, is not ire but judgment. For properly speaking, ire is a movement of passion. And when a man is irate with just cause, his ire does not derive from passion. Rather, it is an act of judgment, not of ire.”

In another way, ire can be understood as a movement of the sensitive appetite agitated by passion with bodily excitation. This movement is a necessary sequel in man to the previous movement of his will, since the lower appetite naturally follows the movement of the higher appetite unless some obstacle prevents it. Hence the movement of ire in the sensitive appetite cannot be lacking altogether, unless the movement of the will is altogether lacking or weak. Consequently, the lack of the passion of ire is also a vice, as it is the lack of movement in the will to punish according to the judgment of reason.

Happy Friday C&C! It’s been a great week with lots of encouraging news. Today I will (reluctantly) cover Biden’s MAGA Rant and then sneak in a little roundup that hints at the purpose for what appears to be the new covid pivot.


��*COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY* ��

�� Last night, shattering more presidential precedents and traditions, former U.S. Senator Joe Biden gave an historic speech in Philadelphia in which he labeled a sizable number of the country’s citizens a pack of rascally ne’er-do-wells that he likes to refer to as, “MAGA Republicans.”

I watched a few painful minutes just to get the flavor, and then waited for the transcript. You’re welcome. You’ve probably already heard all about the demonic red uplighting and Joe’s Hitleresque fist shaking and his lunatic inflammatory rhetoric, all of which was clearly designed for shock value, so I’m going to just bypass all that psyop nonsense.

According to Joe, he’s not alone; it’s not just him who thinks MAGA Republicans are dangerous to democracy. He said “even prominent conservatives” agree, citing a single example of a prominent conservative: DC Federal Circuit Court Judge Michael Luttig. Luttig would have like to attend the speech but has been so, so busy lately sentencing first-time offending J6 prisoners to years-long jail terms for misdemeanor trespass.

You’ve heard of “prominent conservative” Luttig, right? He’s VERY prominent. Prominent in SOMETHING.

Anyway, I want to begin by saying something NICE about the speech, because that’s the polite thing to do, apparently. Anyway, Joe actually gave credit to God. It only happened once, late in the speech, but there it was: “The soul of America is defined by the sacred proposition that all are created equal in the image of God,” Joe mumbled.

So I’m giving him credit. He could’ve stopped at “created equal.”

And that’s about it for things to compliment. Apart from that, the speech seemed carefully crafted to create political cover for something big the Biden Administration is about to do next. In other words, the speech’s literal words don’t add up to anything rational.

For example, after about two-thirds through the nasty part of the speech, Joe’s MILINT speechwriters transitioned to the uplifting message part, where Joe referenced what he has planned for the future during the second half of his term. But he could only come up with two things. I’m going to quote them:

“We’re going to end cancer as we know it. Mark my words. (Applause.)”

“We are going to create millions of new jobs in a clean energy economy.”

That’s it. And even those two goals are fabulously flimsy; weak tea. Regarding the laughable war on cancer, we don’t even need to get into all the news about skyrocketing cancer rates because of the [CENSORED]. The Cancer Moon Shot is a Utopian impossibility, and was neatly framed by lawyer weasel words anyway (“as we know it”). The audience betrayed its ignorance by clapping for this one.

Joe’s second goal of creating green jobs is a fuzzy paradoxical impossibility devoid of detail. Nobody even WANTS a “clean energy economy,” whatever that is, except elites who’ve invested in (or been gifted stock in) green tech. A clean energy economy, if that’s even possible, can only arise via mandates, which are job KILLERS. The audience was smart not to clap for that one, even if it made them seem unappreciative of the Big Guy’s genius.

Anyway, that’s the whole plan. In other words, the lazy speechwriters grabbed two amorphous, unaccountable aspirations and jammed them into the speech to suggest they were actually a fantastic, well-thought-out agenda of some kind. But it backfired, because it just proves Joe has no plan. At least, no plan he wants to tell us about. (Obama probably doesn’t give him the details anyway, because everybody knows Joe can’t keep a secret.)

In case you’re stationed in Antarctica or something, right after all the throat-clearing stuff, Joe kicked off the main theme of the speech, that was obviously meant to rile everybody up:

“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

He continued for a while in that line, hilariously calling MAGA Republicans everything bad he could think of: election deniers, disrespecters of the Constitution and the rule of law, promoters of authoritarian leaders, fanners of the flames of political violence, posers of a “clear and present danger” to democracy, and contrivers of “a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.”

You naughty, naughty MAGA people.

Joe even said MAGA people don’t believe the January 6th stormtroopers were trained and well-funded insurrectionists hell-bent on overthrowing the government. Can you imagine that?

So the hot take, the one we’re SUPPOSED TO immediately latch onto, is that this impotent, demented nursing home patient is about to declare martial law or something and start rounding up everyone who voted for Trump the last time around. Don’t buy it. It’s like the scene from the excellent Mad Max remake, Fury Road, where Tom Hardy glances up at the fit naked woman crying for help atop the tower, and flatly says, “that’s bait.”



More thoughtful social media pundits also recognized this evident truth last night and offered theories about what the speech is REALLY covering for. The truth is, who knows what those idiots are planning next. But I realize that truth is not particularly satisfying, so here are some speculative options.

Jack Posobiec not only opined, but actually claims to have a White House source saying, that Biden plans to pardon Trump today (Friday). In this hypothetical, Biden’s maniacal speech was intended to inform and offset what will be a very angry and disappointed Democrat base. In other words, Biden gave them a little, by officially labeling MAGAs a “clear and present danger” to democracy, but will also take away, by pardoning Trump in a generous, majestic,Ulysses Grant-style national re-unification effort.

It’s possible, who knows, and it would definitely help carve Biden out of a burgeoning political super-pickle that’s already the size of greater Manhattan, currently sprouting out of the raised garden in Mar-a-Lago’s backyard.

Or, it could be that they plan to arrest Trump this weekend, and need a better cover story than ‘he had some overdue National Library materials.’ This is probably less likely; but again, consider who we’re dealing with. They’re not rocket surgeons.

Those are some options. But here’s what I think.

Forget about REPUBLICANS possibly overreacting to the speech. This speech WAS a Biden overreaction. Whatever else it was, it betrayed the fact that Trump is somehow getting to them. BIDEN should have the upper hand right now. He should be able to sit back and enjoy the show. His DOJ just raided Trump’s home, scooped up lots of “incriminating material,” leaked damning photos of Trump’s personal office and, according to all of corporate media, Joe holds all the cards.

Joe could’ve played the statesman, letting the DOJ investigation play out, saying he was surprised and appalled at what he was learning through the newspapers like everybody else.

But somehow — somehow — Trump has once again outflanked his enemies and shoved Biden and his handlers into producing THIS revolting spectacle. Say what you like about that devil Hitler but at least the guy could give a speech. Biden can’t even read the teleprompter without gaffes and stutters. Outside the python-infested inner acres of the leftist fever swamp, ordinary Democrats who watched that mockery of governance last night are, in their hearts, appalled.

They know Joe’s speech was a painful eyesore and a mistake.

In my view, Republicans’ best response to last night’s speech is no response. It was an embarrassingly bad joke. When someone tells an off-color joke, you ignore it and move on. I’m ignoring this bad joke. I suggest you consider doing so as well. Let Joe pickle himself in it.

Was Biden's Speech In Line With the Purpose of the Constitution?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

For anyone that does not recognize that, the preceding is the preamble to the Constitution. The role of this critical piece of our nation’s history provides context for the rest of the document, it provides context for interpretation. This is similar to the role of legislative history in interpreting a statute; the process of interpretation begins with looking at the plain language of the text, and then, where the plain text is ambiguous, we look for context. So let’s look at the context this provides for the foundation of our nation’s legal system.

The first and most important phrase here is “we the people.” This is the foundation of freedom and is the ultimate guard against tyranny. Our nation was founded on the basis of a representative government. A government in which the people were represented rather than lead. Everything else that follows stems from the premise that our government is a representative form of government who’s purpose is…

After “we the people” the preamble continues to explain the purpose of the government being formed. “In order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…” This is the explanation for why “we the people” decided to form this nation and represents the foundation for which the rest of the Constitution should be interpreted.

By no means do I have the time to argue the implications of this interpretive approach to all of the laws of the nation in this piece but, in light of current events, I think it important to remind people that this line of thinking is critical. Further, to support that this approach is not outdated, I remind everyone of Article V of the Constitution that provides for the amendment process. Our founders were brilliant enough to allow for changes to be made should the document become outdated but made sure the process was difficult enough that it could not occur arbitrarily.

With all this in mind, let’s talk about current events. On September 1, 2022, Joe Biden gave a political speech with a military presence in an ominous red background. He appeared more dictator than President and quite clearly positioned himself as an appointed leader rather than a representative of the people. In fact, he actually suggested that approximately half of the people in this country were potential threats to our nation’s security. I am unsure how this fits with a government formed by “we the people” in which he is to be a representative of our nation’s interests.

"Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic," said Biden. "MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of the law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election." Does this sound like he is working to “establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity?” If you think so I would have to question your integrity.

There are serious threats to the foundations of our republic at this point, but they are not coming from “MAGA Republicans” that are engaging in their responsibility to preserve freedom by remaining eternally vigilant; it is coming from those that state that questioning the government of “we the people” is somehow wrong. Not only did Biden’s speech represent a real threat to our republic, it also was the epitome of hypocrisy. After 4 years of endless attacks on the Trump administration, the people most behind it are now stating that we “do not recognize the will of the people.” Were they recognizing the will of the people when facilitating Russiagate? How about when they were trying to impeach Trump on false charges… multiple times?

In light of this, I ask whether Joe Biden’s speech or recent actions has been in line with anything in the purpose statement of our Constitution? Has his FBI raid on Mar O Lago established justice? Did the divisive nature of his speech or implied threats against a huge portion of Americans ensure domestic tranquility? Did the military presence at his speech demonstrate a common defense? Have his numerous policies promoting censorship and discrimination based on ideology, religion, or health promoted general welfare as opposed to resulting in people with differing views losing their jobs and being ostracized? And most importantly, have his constant attacks on the First Amendment (and the rest of the Constitution) done ANYTHING to secure the BLESSINGS of liberty (I think he would reject the word blessings)? Ultimately, I would say the answer is clear, the question is what are you doing about it?

It Was Bound To Happen – Merriam-Webster Officially Redefines The Word Female

Every human being is born either male or female, and defining the word female never used to be controversial – until now.

LGBT activists have become utterly obsessed with claiming a male can be a female if he “identifies” as one – regardless of his biological sex.

And now, Merriam Webster’s online dictionary has jumped on the “transgender” bandwagon and officially changed the definition of female – and just wait until you hear what they added.

Merriam Webster has added a secondary definition under female which states a female is “having a gender identity that is opposite of male.”

Of course – the key phrase here is “gender identity” – and assumes that a male can simply “decide” he’s a female because that’s what he “identifies” with.

But they took things even further – and even edited the primary definition of female which used to state “of, relating to, or being the sex that bears young or produces eggs” and changed it to “of, relating to, or being the sex that TYPICALLY HAS THE CAPACITY to bear young or produces eggs.”

The National Review reported:

“The change in the online edition to include the phrase, “typically has the capacity” shows Merriam-Webster’s attempt to include trans-identifying males in the definition of female.

While this phrase may refer to women who cannot bear children due to infertility, given their nod to “gender identity” in defining the word “female,” it is most likely another way to appease the trans community.”

Yet all across the country – this new definition has been adopted by the radical left – and seen as the new normal.

You may remember during the Supreme Court nominations – D.C. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn’t even define the word woman!

She claimed since she “wasn’t a biologist” she was ill-equipped to define the term.

Absolute madness.

But this is what the left does.

They hijack language and communication to set the narrative and demand the rest of the world adopt to their terminology.

New Jersey mandates kids be taught their biological sex can differ from their “gender identity.”

Kellogg’s had an pro-LGBT cereal box activity for kids where they were told to “choose their own gender.”

Some liberals even got mad at moms for hosting gender reveal parties – claiming “biological gender” doesn’t really exist.

And these days, no longer do leftists claim there are simply two genders… they think there are hundreds!

Students are going back to school and being asked to “choose their gender.”

Books are being forced upon them that make the LGBT lifestyle seem like something normal, and common.

But instead of holding the line of sanity, it seems Merriam-Webster has too jumped on the LGBT bandwagon – and went so far as to redefine what it means to be a woman.

The madness continues, and with Biden leading the charge, things are only going to get worse.
