“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism,” goes the apocryphal saying generally attributed to six-time presidential candidate Norman Thomas. “But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

“The Ku Klux Klan couldn’t sabotage chances for black academic excellence more effectively than the public school system in most cities,” noted the late Professor Walter E. Williams. Apropos to this, Williams also stated that whatever you say about “civil-rights” activist Malcolm X, he was right about something. To wit:
The greatest enemy black Americans have is the liberal who claims to be their benefactor.
And nowhere is that liberal control greater than in the government school system.

The Supreme Court just struck a blow against a very perverse double standard, one common in many states. That standard is this:
You can prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for a child and scar him for life. This is in service to the delusion that the youth is stuck in the “wrong” sex’s body.
But if that very same kid approaches a therapist hoping the professional can talk with him and find the roots of that delusion and eliminate it, the therapist can be punished for complying. (Note: Also forbidden is talk therapy geared toward eliminating feelings of same-sex attraction; i.e., homosexuality.) This all may change, however, with the recent Chiles v. Salazar Supreme Court ruling.

In 1994, famed-radio-host-to-be Michael Savage, an epidemiologist by training, wrote a manuscript titled Immigrants and Epidemics. In it, he pointed out that illegal aliens were bringing dangerous diseases into the United States. Yet despite Savage having long been a successful, published author, the work was rejected. The powers-that-be wanted such truths suppressed. And it appears, too, that the same cover-up is occurring with illegal-alien crime.

Think wokeness has gone the way of the dodo? Actually, it’s gone the way of the dumdum. It hasn’t died — it’s just become more unintelligible.
Consider MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. No, that’s not my WIFI password (full disclosure: I stole that joke). It’s a victim-group acronym seamlessly disgorged by a very perturbed Canadian politician. And here she is, in a seven-second clip that has gone viral:

A civilizational sea change is occurring, an ideological inflection point may be getting closer. Immigration, long considered as American as apple pie, as almost sacrosanct, is being questioned. The belief underlying it, immigrationism, suddenly no longer has the almost universal dogma status it once enjoyed.

Most of us have heard about the scores (or more) of “genders” social engineers have conjured up. Thanks to the Trump administration, however, school officials will no longer have to identify as a particular one: “pandergender.”
This is because the administration’s Department of Education is terminating coercive, Obama/Biden-era agreements compelling schools to affirm troubled students’ delusions.

“The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools,” warned 19th-century English philosopher Herbert Spencer. Would he say today, though, that the ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is … the United States’ criminal-justice system? Some may thus wonder upon hearing stories such as the following.
In January 2025, North Carolina Judge Teresa Stokes released into society a deranged 34-year-old man with 14 prior arrests. His rap sheet included violent and unstable behavior; even robbery with a dangerous weapon was on the list. And what was required of him?
Merely a written promise to appear for his next court date (no cash bail or additional conditions). Records and reports indicate that this criminal was known to authorities as a repeat offender, too.
This man, Decarlos Brown Jr., would proceed to murder Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte train seven months later.

It is interesting to note that both ancient Greece, the “cradle of Western civilization,” and the Roman Empire, which spread Western civilization, declined and “fell” due partially to internal divisions. Another point to ponder is something Salvian of Marseilles, a Christian priest, observed in the mid fifth century:
[T]he name of Roman citizen, once not only much valued but dearly bought, is now voluntarily repudiated and shunned, and is thought not merely valueless but almost abhorrent.
Does such loathing (though perhaps not the citizenship part — yet) sound vaguely familiar?

You perhaps didn’t think you’d see the day when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) would be applied to sexual assault. But here we are, courtesy of “Black-led and Black-owned startup” (its own description) AFRU. If a migrant rapes you says AFRU, well, boohoo. Those are just the broken eggs for the omelet. Or as the site puts it in its subhead:
Quasi-consensual encounters between refugees and white Western women may help with assimilation. Increasingly they result in a shared apartment and a new surname.
Yeah, and sometimes a new body covering, too.
Of course, a plain old white guy’s sexual misconduct is presumably still wrong. He’s just awash in “male privilege,” oozes toxic masculinity, and needs further emotional neutering. But when Ahmed from Afghanistan does it? It’s mere cultural misunderstanding.
As AFRU relates, “Karim … was just someone who slapped my butt while I was out shopping groceries,” says Julia, a 32-year-old nurse in Stuttgart. “He simply didn’t know how else to get my attention at the time.”
