When the history of our time is finally written, assuming there’s someone around to write it (AI?), one can imagine how the historians may interpret the Democrats’ obsession with pseudo-sex-switching.
“They believed boys could become girls merely by wishing it, and they persecuted those deviating from this orthodoxy.”
“It’s why the Democratic Party died.”

Legendary president Ronald Reagan authored a “revolution,” seeking to shrink government, lower taxes, reduce regulations, and defeat the Soviet menace. He accomplished much governmentally, too, earning the ire of leftists who dubbed him “Ronald Ray-gun.” Yet in truth, he could do little about our cultural trajectory, and American society was notably more “politically correct” (i.e., Woke 1.0) when he left office in 1989 than when he’d entered it in ’81. It’s an old story: You can change who’s at the government’s helm, but who’s at the cultural “government’s” helm — that of academia, the media, and entertainment — remains the same.
(That is, unless you have an autocratic state playing cultural puppeteer.)
This said, one difference between the Reagan and Trump revolutions is that MAGA apparently has greater cultural focus. Despite this, though, and as during Reagan’s time, wokeness marches on. This is illustrated, too, by some recent stories, ones that in the ’80s would’ve been unheard of — or satire.

Some years ago, during a brief social/political discussion with an older woman I ran into in a store, she said something to the effect of, “I don’t care what people do in their bedroom.” She made the statement reflexively, clearly confident I’d agree. Doesn’t everyone today?
Imagine her shock when I replied passionately and without missing a beat, “Well, I do!”
That pretty much ended the conversation. Really, though, it also can be a good conversation starter — for the truly inquisitive.
As to my meaning, no, I’m not Enid Strict The Church Lady (I don’t look good in a dress and I tend more toward Paul Harvey than Dana Carvey). Nor would I, as emperor, put CCTV cameras in everybody’s home; I’ve no interest in uber-intrusiveness. But I do have a strong interest in preserving civilization — and in restoring it in the first place.

Methinks the man doth protest too much.
This twist on a Shakespeare line could come to mind while pondering the story of one Darrin Bell, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist. Bell is famous for, among other things, drawing anti-Trump cartoons in which he portrays the president as a vile sex offender. He also often characterizes conservatives generally as, writes a critic, “sexual predators or people who are weirdly obsessed with child sexuality.” Given this, the following may seem poetic.
Bell was arrested last Wednesday on charges of possessing 134 child pornography videos, as well as AI-generated child porn.
Wow, who saw that coming?
(That is, except for anyone mildly acquainted with a certain ideological group’s projection tendencies.)
What’s more, if guilty, Bell will just be the latest among a multitude of leftists found complicit in sexual misconduct.

It’s said that Saint Patrick drove all the snakes from Ireland. It appears, however, that he might’ve missed a bunch. That is, if a recent story out of the Emerald Isle is any guide. To wit:
In a testimonial to our upside-down world, an Irish Christian teacher has been imprisoned for the third time. His trespass?
The educator, Enoch Burke, wouldn’t socially facilitate a student’s “gender transition,” as it’s euphemistically called, and then refused to abide by an order from a judge who sided with his school.
