A Twilight Zone vibe characterizes 2021 America for anyone who lived in 1991 America. By staying in place, we all immigrated to a new country going by the same name.
The House, with unanimous support from the Democratic caucus in which half opposed the same legislation 28 years ago, passed a bill on Thursday seeking to grant statehood to Washington, D.C. This follows the reintroduction of the Green New Deal on Tuesday and new court-packing legislation unveiled earlier this month to add four new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.
But the greatest threats appear not on Capitol Hill but in the culture.
Every day, bizarre headlines exclaim the social-justice expedition reaching destinations even further from sanity’s boundaries.
On Monday, in a commissar vanishes moment, the American Humanist Association revoked a 25-year-old Humanist of the Year Award for professional atheist Richard Dawkins because he asked followers to discuss the parallels between Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who passed herself off as black, and transgenders. On Tuesday, a teacher suspended by the Grace Church School for criticizing its “anti-racist” curriculum as racist released a tape showing the headmaster who removed him from the classroom acknowledging, “We’re demonizing white people for being born.” On Wednesday, the day after the murder conviction of former Minneapolis law enforcement officer Derek Chauvin, LeBron James sicced the Twittericans on a heroic policeman by issuing a “You’re Next” tweet directed at the cop who saved a young woman from getting stabbed by shooting her assailant. On Thursday, Nobel laureate Paul Krugman repealed the summer of 2020 by writing that “BLM may have been the best-behaved protest movement in history” and that “GOP supporters believe that rampaging mobs burned and looted major cities — somehow without the people actually living in those cities noticing.” It goes on like that daily.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
