WHEN WILL ISREAL LEARN ITS LESSON? WHEN WILL WE LEARN OURS?
So the Israelis have once again let themselves and much of the rest of the world down by calling a halt to their latest skirmish with the “Palestinians” of Hamas, to whom they unwisely transferred control of the Gaza strip back in 2005.
The recent round of rocket-launching and retaliatory air strikes accomplished nothing strategic, but merely kicked the can of resolution down the road yet again in the vain hopes that the elusive “peace process” might someday resolve the conflict.
There’s only one resolution to this fight, however, and that is total victory for one side or the other. And that will be the side that wants it more, and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that end.
IS AMERICA NO LONGER A FREE CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY?
Corrupt NY Attorney General Letitia James
I have just learned that the Democrat New York Attorney General has “informed” my organization that their “investigation” is no longer just a civil matter but also potentially a “criminal” investigation working with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
There is nothing more corrupt than an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime. But, make no mistake, that is exactly what is happening here.
This is something that happens in failed third world countries, not the United States. If you can run for a prosecutor’s office pledging to take out your enemies, and be elected to that job by partisan voters who wish to enact political retribution, then we are no longer a free constitutional democracy.
WHAT TRUMP MEANT
I loved President Trump because he stood up for the ordinary people of America, those who for so long had been kept in cultural servitude by the political elite. I still do – and he still does.
President Trump endowed ordinary Americans with a sense of possibilities by returning manufacturing jobs to America, restoring our sovereignty as a nation free of global institutions, and, above all, ending the atmosphere of political correctness that had choked free expression for decades.
Then, when the elite saw everyday Americans rising above their station, it decided to put them back in their servitude by depriving Trump of a second term, by whatever means necessary.

A DISASTER ENTIRELY OF BIDEN’S
The more we learn about the true dimensions of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, the worse it is.
On Sunday (5/16), the New York Times reports that in the last few months, U.S. authorities have encountered illegal border crossers not just from Mexico, or the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, but from 160 nations around the globe.
People are coming to Mexico from the most distant spots on the planet in order to cross illegally into the United States, confident that Joe Biden will let them stay. And Biden is doing just that. [Note: long comment by Jack Wheeler at end]
GUESS WHERE BIDEN WILL CAPITULATE NEXT TO PUTIN
Yes, Greenland. Yesterday (5/18), Comrade Zhou just caved to Putin, allowing him to use the Nordstream Pipeline to chokehold energy to Poland and Ukraine.
This is a big deal, allowing the Russian dictator to grossly increase his energy leverage over most all of Europe. Naturally, with a victory like that, a predator like Putin is hungry for his next meal. His eyes are focused today on Greenland.
On last Saturday, May 15, Russia assumed the rotating two-year chairmanship of the Arctic Council, a role President Vladimir Putin has already said Moscow will use to advance his country’s interests in the High North.
THE FUTILE RAGE OF THE NEVER TRUMPERS
The suicide plunge of U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) appears to be the psychopathic backlash of NeverTrumpers.
They are starting to realize Donald Trump’s defeat in November and the allegations he was attempting to overturn the election by provoking an “insurrection” at the Capitol on January 6 do not bring back the Republican Party of the Bushes and McCain and Romney, as those families seem to imagine.
This is only the first shoe dropping. It will soon be followed by the realization of the role the NeverTrumpers have played in shackling the country and the Western world to the unfolding disaster of the Biden presidency.
CENSORSHIP, MASKS, RIGHTS AND REVOLUTION
The New York Times on May 6 said that “our democracy” demands shielding voters and their representatives from what it considers “untrustworthy content” concerning the 2020 presidential election
Whence does the New York Times or Facebook get the right to decide once and forevermore that certain facts and arguments are so “untrustworthy” that ordinary people cannot pass judgment on whether they are true or not?
Then again, denial of human equality, of right, wrong, and persuasion, is the essence of what the ruling class calls “our democracy.”
DIGITAL LETTERS OF MARQUE – THE SOLUTION TO CYBER PIRACY
After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the Goodyear blimp Resolute was put into service spotting enemy submarines. There’s a lesson for 21st-century cyberwarfare.
Among the specific Enumerated Powers of Article 1 Section 8 the Constitution gives Congress is Clause 11: "to grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal”—essentially licenses authorizing private parties to wage war on the government’s behalf.
The Resolute was a privately owned U.S. craft, flown by a civilian crew out of Los Angeles. If letters of marque could be adapted for flying machines, why not computing machines? Why can’t letters of marque be used to blow hackers out of the digital water?

HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT WOKENESS HAS JUST DIED?
White Leftist politicians and hipsters have already killed wokeness in American culture. They just don’t know it yet.
There’s been this repeating cultural joke occurring throughout my lifetime that, for some reason, never seems to be recognized by those who are ridiculed by its many iterations.
That is, when liberal white hipsters adopt any cultural fad, they manage to end the fad by making it spectacularly unpopular in no time flat.
TUNING OUT WOKEISM
If wokeness should continue and “win,” by now we all know where it will end up. After all, this is not a prairie-fire, peasants-with-pitchforks, spontaneous bottom-up revolution.
The woke Left seeks a top-down erasure of America, engineered by the likes of LeBron James from his $40 million estate talking revolution to Oprah at her $90 million castle, and as the top executives of Coke, Target, and Delta Airlines believe their $17 million-a-year salaries make them experts on the crimes of non-diversity, exclusion, and inequity.
Anytime revolutionaries at the outset of their enterprises seek exemption from the consequences of their own ideology, we know their plans will end badly for everyone else. Or just end.
OLIGARCHIES AND REMEDIES
What are hundreds of America’s biggest corporations doing as they browbeat the public to abolish the requirement of identification for voting? What are Twitter, Facebook, et al. doing when they prohibit people from sharing facts that are inconvenient to government policy or (and) the Democrat Party?
Is the government—in practice, the political party that controls the government—fronting for corporations, or do the corporations front for the Party? Who runs whom?
Understanding what is happening in America begins with dismissing such silly questions. Focus, instead, on the fact that those who rule us in all these matters are essentially the same people.

JOYLESS JOE
After a hundred days of Joyless Joe Biden occupying the White House, I think most Americans are now on to what will follow in the next few years.
Biden frowns. He grimaces. He occasionally barks and yells as he delivers a gloomy view of America and its people, past and present.
Admit it, he demands: We are all racists, then and now, captives of Jim Crow still. Biden needs as many fabricated enemies as he can find; otherwise, his speeches, his demeanor, his agenda are little more than absurdities. They cannot stand or fall on their own merits because they have none.

A specter is haunting the Democrat Party — the specter of inflation.
Inflation is an insidious tax that robs the poor and the middle class. It favors the U.S. government, the world’s biggest debtor, because the government expects to pay back its creditors in Monopoly money. It crushes the real earnings of the vast majority of American households and destroys their savings.
That’s what the Democrats are up to. And that’s what might bring them down–just as 12% inflation brought down Jimmy Carter in 1980.

THE BAY OF PIGS 60TH ANNIVERSARY
[Intro by Jack Wheeler. This is my friend Felix Rodriguez, legendary Cuban-born CIA agent who was key to organizing the Bay of Pigs invasion to liberate Communist Cuba 60 years ago this week, April 17-20, 1961. In 2015, I took Felix to Iwo Jima, where he hoisted the flag of the Brigade 2506 liberation force up the flagpole on Mount Suribachi (you can see the Marine’s 1945 black sand invasion beach below).
Felix’s most famous CIA exploit was capturing Che Guevara in the jungles of Bolivia in 1967. Here he is with Che who had only an hour to live when the photo was taken. The Bolivian military ordered him killed while Felix wanted him to live as Che was pleading to tell everything he knew about Castro.
What follows is historian Humberto Fontova’s account of John Kennedy’s betrayal of the aborted attempt to bring freedom to Cuba. Cuba could have been free and flourishing for the last 60 years had it not been for JFK’s cowardice. Here is the story of magnificent heroism and spineless tragedy.]
THE STRANGE DEATH OF THE DEMOCRATS
The
Democrat party is dying. That may be hard to believe since Democrats control both houses of Congress and won the last presidential election with millions of fraudulent votes.
But the exiguous margins of their hold on the House and Senate, with fewer than 51 percent of the seats in either chamber, tell another story, as does the desperation of their struggle to abolish the filibuster and Voter ID election laws, plus packing the Supreme Court
Simply put, Democrats know they can no longer win by the old agreed-upon rules, constitutional or otherwise. Joe Biden may still be alive, but the party is dead.

THE TRUMP SOLUTION
The Wall Street Journal on Friday (4/09) published an editorial headlined “The GOP’s Trump Problem.” It gets things terribly wrong. The GOP is Trump’s party and it is the Wall Street Journal that has the Trump problem.
Having been commendably supportive of the former president through most of his term, the Journal joined in the general embarkation of NeverTrumpers over the ostensible election results. The Journal should be ashamed of itself.
The fact that the former Republican establishment fell in with the Democrat narrative and refused to accept the possibility of this, in the most tainted election in American history (except perhaps 1876), is a disgrace and a dishonor to them.
K-12 TEACHERS PROGRAMMED TO BE MERCHANTS OF ANTI-WHITE HATE
Last month on March 18, the California Department of Education approved its Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, and individual school districts have begun to implement programs that advocate “decolonizing” the United States and “liberating” students from capitalism, patriarchy, and settler colonialism.
The ethnic studies curriculum is based on the work of Brazilian Marxist Paulo Freire, who invented the concept of the “pedagogy of the oppressed,” which holds that students must be educated to understand their oppression and develop the practical skills, or “praxis,” to challenge and eventually overthrow their oppressors.
The goal is that schools should start transforming children into “activist intellectuals,” beginning in first grade. “[It’s] never too young,” say the Curriculum’s authors.

“California has a higher poverty rate than Mississippi, indeed the highest in the nation.
How did this happen? In a healthy country, one that prized honesty and free inquiry and legitimate social science, we wouldn't be asking that question urgently. How did a place as idyllic as California become so miserable that huge numbers of people who were born there decided to abandon their homes and flee?
If you cared about the United States, you would want to know the answer and you'd want to make absolutely certain it didn't happen anywhere else. Yet the Democrat Party is working to make certain it happens everywhere else.”
THROWING SAND IN JOEBAMAS GEARS
A new conservative opposition research group is using unorthodox, and controversial, tactics to throw what it describes as "a big handful of sand" in the gears of the Biden administration — tactics it claims have been used effectively by the left for years.
In an interview with Tom Jones, founder of the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), he explained:
"I see our group right now as getting up every morning and with the goal of making it as difficult as possible for the Biden administration and their allies on the Hill to implement their agenda. Our goal is to take a big handful of sand and throw it in the gears of the Biden administration, and that’s what we’re going to do every day."
FEAR OF VIRUS MUTATIONS LATEST RUSE TO DESTROY OUR FREEDOM
While COVID-19 can hardly be called a major public health threat anymore, having now reached endemic status (like the seasonal flu), the fearmongerers who need this crisis to continue in order to complete the implementation of a Great Reset of the global economy and social structure aren’t letting up.
So they fearmongering a new variant of SARS-CoV-2 that is, allegedly, now “causing so many problems” in Europe. But is it really? To be clear, there will be many new variants of this virus, just as the seasonal flu changes and evolves from year to year. The thing is, as viruses mutate within a population over time, they tend to become more benign.

THE DOOM OF NEW YORK CITY
“No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.”
That’s how Gideon Tucker — a New Yorker who knew Albany as a former legislator, secretary of state and judge — put it back in 1866.
His wisdom, as demonstrated repeatedly over the ages, is timeless.
Yet there is something different, and especially troubling, about this time. The possibility of permanent decline and the ultimate destruction of the New York we know is unmatched in modern memory.
EDUCATIONAL FREEDOM IS ON THE MOVE
Just a few weeks ago, COVID-related lockdowns were leading many states to implement or advance already existing school choice measures. Now it is happening at breakneck speed.
Legislators and parents have become fed up, and are doing what they can to regain control of the educational lives of children. They have watched as private schools flourish, while many of the government-run variety—typically at the behest of the teachers’ unions—have been shuttered.
Also, because of forced online learning, parents have been given a Zoom-view as to just what teachers are—and are not—teaching. Quite an eye-opener.
