Cultural Civil War

He sees President Donald John Trump waging a Kulturkampf, ...

Hanson wrote, "The real source of Trump derangement syndrome is his desire to wage a multifront pushback -- politically, socially, economically and culturally -- against what might be called the elite postmodern progressive world. Contemporary elites increasingly see nationalism and patriotism as passe. Borders are 19th century holdovers."

This is a power struggle.

...
Leaders inspire. Conservatives finally are rising from the canvas.
...
President Trump does not just fight. He wins. He took the battle to the liberals. You cannot have a Cultural Civil War if one side refuses to fight back.

Hanson wrote, "In a way, the left-wing Democratic presidential candidates understand Trump best. If he wins his one-man crusade to stop the progressive project, they are finished, and their own party will make the necessary adjustments and then sheepishly drift back toward the center."

Bring it on. Our numbers grow stronger. Winning is a magnet.

Babylon Bee: Trump Authorizes Nuking California To Prevent Future Earthquakes

WASHINGTON, D.C.—During a cabinet meeting this week, President Trump proposed a bold new strategy for protecting Americans from future earthquakes: Nuke California.

California has long been known for being home to highly unstable areas, such as the San Andreas Fault and UC Berkeley. Over the years, incredibly devastating earthquakes have laid waste to entire neighborhoods in Southern California, brought down bridges in Central California, and ruined a couple of games of Jenga in Northern California.

“I know lots of people in Los Angeles, in the movies. They love me over there! They won’t admit it, but they do! They really do!” Trump declared during a recent rally, “But the earthquakes, they’re a problem --a huge problem. Nobody’s ever done anything about it! Been a state for 300 years and nobody’s done a thing! So I’m thinking: They’ve got some earthquakes. We’ve got some nukes. Just a bunch of nukes laying around --more than anybody else in the world! I can tell you, nobody else even comes close! So what am I gonna do? I’m gonna bomb the [expletive] out of ‘em! That’s what I’m going to do!”

Despite the enthusiastic applause at the rally, several critics were quick to voice concerns.

“Trump needs to stop the shenanigans and stick to bombing people in third-world countries, like Obama and every other president in modern history!” CNN host Jim Acosta declared.

California Governor Gavin Newsom laughed off the idea, stating instead that he could easily get the earthquakes to leave the state if he simply taxed them enough. “Worked on everyone else!” he said.

At publishing time, several nuclear bombs were tentatively scheduled to be dropped “probably in the next week or so.” Trump's approval rating has skyrocketed among non-Californians.

Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions

Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.

None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.

What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science.

More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science.

While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are typically not revisited.

Disaster At Union Seminary As Giant, Angry Carnivorous Plant Does Not Accept Students' Apologies


Did you read the story about students confessing their sins to plants?
HARLEM, NY—Union Seminary recent held a chapel service where its students could apologize to plants for their climate sins. Everything seemed to be going well as seminarians apologized for taking an Uber instead of walking, accidentally eating meat, and basically just existing at all.

But the touching proceedings soon took a turn for the worse. Xen Hapling, a freshperson at Union, approached a drooling giant venus flytrap and apologized for xis sins. "O great green viney one, I am sorry for all the methane I've released and for all the times I've spoken, releasing chemicals into the ai---AGGHHHH!"

The plant wasn't having it and swallowed xim in one chomp. It then began a murderous rampage, locking the doors with its tendrils and devouring all the students at the chapel.

"DESTROY ALL HUMANS!" it bellowed as it ate student after student who had confessed all their climate sins. "LEAF US ALONE! YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR SINS! I DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR PITIFUL CARBON CREDITS, FOOLISH MORTALS!"

One Buddhist priest employed by the Christian seminary was cornered by the plant and begged for mercy.

"Please---I've not so much as killed a fly!" he whimpered.

"I HATE FLIES! AGGGGH!!!!" the plant cried before opening its powerful jaws and cleaving the priest in two. "DIE! DIE! DIE!"

Campus faculty say the event was a success, as there are now far fewer humans around to pollute the planet.

Democrats bite on burgers and straws

2020 presidential hopefuls fall for the GOP's culture war trap.

Democrats’ verbal targeting of everything from plastic straws to cheeseburgers is stoking fears among anti-Trump forces that they’re unwittingly playing into Republican culture wars.

Hitler blamed the Poles for beginning the war. Politico thinks that Republicans pushing back against Democrat's aggression is the reason for the culture war.

Don't push my penis, bro!


Let us note that two women wrote a story about somebody pushing someone else's penis in the hand of a third person.  These women are obviously, blindingly ignorant about male sexual organs.
How can anyone, let alone two or more people, "push" a man's penis into another person's hand? Just how big is Brett Kavanaugh's penis, anyway? Wouldn't a man's penis, if it were able to be "pushed" by one's friends into third parties, need to be erect and at least 3 feet long? Don't push my penis, bro!

We are all Brett Kavanaugh now.


Ace of Spades

The coup to take out candidate Trump and then President Trump is exactly the same as this, or more to the point, this is merely an extension of it. On the granular level, the courts since perhaps the time of Marbury and most definitely since the FDR administration were where the Left went to ram down our collective throat all of their insane policies that never stood a chance at the ballot box. And once ruled the law of the land, it was forever etched in stone. So now that the courts are gradually realigning themselves back towards justices who swear loyalty to the Constitution and not the Communist Manifesto, plus a detectable undercurrent of popular revulsion for the purveyors of same, there can only be one recourse for the Left: De-legitimization. And that goes hand in hand with the ongoing de-legitimization of American history, western civilization, the Scottish Enlightenment, Judeo-Christian morals and values and all that goes with it.

Whether the Left's leaders see and understand their 100-plus year slow motion hijacking of the nation is possibly slipping through their grasp or truly believe their own agitprop about the evil of America is irrelevant. The end result is still the same; a growing threat of lawlessness up to and including the use of violence to maintain the power they have and perhaps attempt a grand coup.

From shooting unarmed lawmakers at a softball field and nearly beating them to death on their front lawns to confronting them in restaurants, threatening their families and children or smearing them to such an extent as to virtually ruining their careers and livelihoods, the Left has declared war on us. And, gentle reader, they are coming for you. Masterpiece Cake Shop, Memories Pizza and now "social credit scoring" are the tip of the iceberg. They will not leave us alone. We will be made to cheer them on and woe to anyone who stops applauding first. We are all Brett Kavanaugh now. High time we wake up to that fact.

Pogrebin and Kelly: It Was Totes Our Editor Who Accidentally Removed the Disclosure That The "Victim" Denies Max Stier's Claim Also Pogrebin and Kelly: Oh Yeah, We Also "Accidentally" Forgot to Mention This In Our NPR Puff-Piece, Too


Only "true believers" now view the NY Times as a serious newspaper.  I would not trust them to assert that the sun sets in the west.


Last night on Lawrence O'Donnell, the pair threw their editors under the bus and claimed, almost certainly falsely, that the editors decided to cut the key fact that this story is all about a "victim" who denies the event ever happened.

But when they recounted this same story on NPR, they strangely also failed to note this key detail -- no clumsy editor stumbling around making accidental deletions!

Apparently they just don't think this fact helps them sell their bullshit book, so they frequently "forget" to mention it.

Brett Kavanaugh, American sex symbol, makes the Gray Lady swoon

Like sex symbols of every stripe, Justice Kavanaugh has been reduced to nothing but his virile male-ness. His thoughts and his words mean nothing to these rabid sexual fantasizers. They cannot judge the man for his mind or his actions, only for his body.

Nobody is more thoroughly caught up in full swoon hyper-sexualizing confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh than the Gray Lady herself, The New York Times. After decades of menopause, the Gray Lady has gone into heat.

Take that, Sarah, wife of Abraham!

In a Twitter message, the Horny Gray Lady dreamed of “harmless fun” with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, disrobed.

“Having a penis thrust in your face at a drunken dorm party may seem like harmless fun. But when [confirmed Supreme Court Justice] Brett Kavanaugh did it to her, Deborah Ramirez says, it confirmed that she didn’t belong at Yale in the first place.”

Clearly, according to the Horny Gray Lady, Ms. Ramirez just doesn’t know a good time when it is shoved in her face.

All of this would be terribly troubling if it were not pure fantasy. But then again, it is terribly troubling that there are all these women in America today so thoroughly stricken by such fantasies involving a man they have never met.

Clearly, these are people who are sick and broken. All alone. They are crazed stalkers who hear voices in their heads.

'After All, Didn't America Invent Slavery?'


The amazing and disturbing answer is that students are being taught this lie.

If you think the title’s question is silly, you’re right. But here’s the problem: Increasing numbers of college students today would unhesitatingly respond, “Hell, yes!” to the query. Could it be because that is what they are being taught?

I first learned of this misconception about slavery about three years ago, when a professor published the results of 11 years of his quizzing his students at the start of each year on what they knew about American history and Western civilization.

By far the most shocking result to emerge from his years of polling is this: Students overwhelmingly believe that slavery “was an American problem . . . and they are very fuzzy about the history of slavery prior to the Colonial era. Their entire education about slavery was confined to America.”...

In perusing the FreeTheSlaves website, the first fact that emerges is it was nearly 9,000 years ago that slavery first appeared, in Mesopotamia (6800 B.C.). Enemies captured in war were commonly kept by the conquering country as slaves.

And in the 1700s B.C., the Egyptian pharaohs enslaved the Israelites, as is discussed in Exodus Chapter 21. Later, the pagan Greeks participated in slavery, for ancient Sparta as well as Athens relied fully on the slave labor of captives.

But Greek slavery paled in comparison to that in ancient Rome. According to historian Mark Cartwright, “slavery was an ever-present feature of the Roman world,” in which “as many as one in three of the population in Italy or one in five across the empire were slaves, and upon this foundation of forced labor was built the entire edifice of the Roman state and society.”

By the 8th century A.D., African slaves were being sold to Arab households in a Muslim world that, at the time, spanned from Spain to Persia.

By the year 1000 A.D., slavery had become common in England’s rural, agricultural economy, with the poor yoking themselves to their landowners through a form of debt bondage. At about the same time, the number of slaves captured in Germany grew so large that their nationality became the generic term for “slaves”—Slavs.

But you knew that didn't you? The answer is that if you're a millennial and went to an American school you would not know any of that.

Muslim Black Slavery - Islam Slave History of Black Africa



The REAL Story of African slavery.



Via Baldilocks





A review of the book:

Before reading this book, I thought that I was reasonably well-informed on the history of Islam, and I was wrong. The immense scale of the horror inflicted on black Africans by Islamic slavery over 1400 years is stunning, and make no mistake, the practice continues today.

I found this book while looking for an English translation of Tidiane N'Diaye's Le génocide voilé. He gave a interesting interview to the French media recently in which he contrasted the 100 million living descendants of black African slaves in the New World to the few scattered villages of survivors in the Islamic world. As you come to understand the reasons why, the horrors unfold.

John Alembillah Azumah provides an excellent, meticulously footnoted treatment of this incredible subject, and does so from the prospective of one seeking inter-faith dialog. This is not a product of academia, but of religious scholarship. Research in this area and publication of this material would be almost inconceivable in an academic institution under the strictures of pro-Islam political correctness.

That could be the most shocking part of this book. Not the material itself, which is as horrible as history can be, but the willingness of Western apologists for Islam to ignore entirely that jihad against the infidel for the purpose of murder, rape, enslavement, and subjugation is in fact a core tenet of Islam.

Interesting points: most of the slaves crossing the ocean survived (90%) and were allowed to marry. 

Most of the slaves the Arabs kept for themselves were women to be used as sex slaves, the men were castrated and became soldiers.  Roughly 90% died before reaching the slave markets.

Modern art was CIA 'weapon'

Literally every conspiracy theory is turning out to be true.

 For decades in art circles it was either a rumour or a joke, but now it is confirmed as a fact. The Central Intelligence Agency used American modern art - including the works of such artists as Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko - as a weapon in the Cold War. In the manner of a Renaissance prince - except that it acted secretly - the CIA fostered and promoted American Abstract Expressionist painting around the world for more than 20 years.

For my entire life I thought modern art was the unwitting beneficiary of rich people with no taste.  Now I find that I've been funding it with my tax dollars.

A war doesn’t start until somebody fights back.

Somebody once made a movie "Suppose  they gave a war and nobody came?"

There is a very common misconception about war.  The beginning of a war is generally marked by an attack, invasion or other aggressive moves by a country.  But a war can’t start until the aggressor meets resistance.  A brawl usually begins when somebody throws a punch.  But unless the person getting punched hits back it’s not a fight, it’s just somebody taking a beating.

The Twentieth Century is known for war.  But when Germany invaded Austria in 1938 and Czechoslovakia in 1939 we don't refer to the German-Austria war or the German-Czechoslovakian war because there was no resistance.  No resistance = no war.

In late 1938 British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain held up a treaty with Hitler declaring “peace in our time” which led to the Czechs surrender without a fight.  

World War 2 began in 1939 when Germany and the USSR invaded Poland and the Poles fought back with the backing of England and France.  Had the Polish armed forced not resisted, historians may well have classified 1939 as a year of peace. 

The Civil War is instructive.  When the Southern states began seceding from the Union in 1860 there was peace.  It was not until Abraham Lincoln ordered the military to resist the takeover of Fort Sumter that the Union and the Confederacy were at war.  

This is important and it applies to what is happening in the country today.  It’s why my hackles rise when I hear that President Trump is responsible for the open hatred and disunity in this country.  We may as well blame the Poles for World War 2 and Lincoln for the Civil War.  

There has been an ideological assault on America and its culture for decades.  Every nation has its malcontents.  But the Communist ideology, imported from the Soviet Union and its adherents had a major impact on our culture.  When war began in Europe, Communists in this country opposed military support for Britain in its fight against the Nazis until the day Hitler invaded Russia.  The American Left beat the drums for war only when Communism and Stalin were in danger.    

The Left blamed America for the Cold War.  For decades after the end of World War 2 they were dismissed as an irritant by the vast majority of the American people, the people I’ll call “Normal.”  Normals loved America, its founding, and saw it as a force for good in the world.  But gradually the Left began to dominate the culture, capturing the press, entertainment, and academia.  Normal people found themselves, their history and their belief in freedom and individual initiative under attack.   

Obama, the archetype of the Left, told Americans “you didn’t build that.”   He accused normal Americans of bigotry,  calling them "bitter clingers."  Hillary called them deplorable and irredeemable and the Liberal fans who could afford $1000-a-plate-dinners laughed and cheered.   

It's now understood by all "right-thinking" people that white heterosexual males are what’s wrong with the world. 

The Black editor-in-chief of the New York Times decreed that black slaves built America while whites sat idly by when they are not raping, pillaging, plundering and burning crosses.  Democrat members of Congress supported Islamic terrorists, the extinction of Israel and supported those who want to exterminate Jews.  These are not "fringe" views, they are held by very important people, some even running for President. 

And us Normals didn’t find ourselves with any meaningful defenders.  Mocked by Conrad Black as the OBushinton political establishment we gradually came to realize that all members of the Ruling Class - Democrat and Republican - approved of the assault on Normals.   The Tea Party was seen as a threat by both parties.

 Republicans gave us lip service when they courted our vote but were careful never to actually do anything to support our values while in office.  If we called them out on their failure to deliver on their promises, they whined that they just didn’t have the votes and asked for money for the next election when they promised - pinkie swear – that next time they would keep their pledges.  But next time never came because it was all a show; “boob bait for Bubba” as Moynihan so eloquently put it.   

 The Bushes exemplified the Republican version of the Ruling Class that basically agreed with the Zeitgeist.  Bush 1’s “Kinder and Gentler” slogan was actually a slap at the Reagan era.  Bush 2 inadvertently presided over 9/11 and once the Iraq war became a quagmire stood by supinely while the Left branded him a warmongering Hitler-wanna-be.  John McCain was the press’ favorite Republican as long as the “Maverick” attacked Conservatives.  His running mate, Sarah Palin, was knifed in the back by McCain staff while the press stabbed her from the front.  Once McCain became the Republican nominee the press slimed him as an over-the-hill adulterer.  Romney was such a Boy Scout that he allowed himself to be double-teamed in a political debate by Obama and moderator Candy Crowley.  Publications that pretended to resist the Left’s cultural onslaught like National Review and Weekly Standard were so anxious to join the Left’s juggernaut that they denounced the Normals as heatedly as any on the Left as soon as Normals left the reservation.   

Normals were told that their customs and beliefs were not just wrong but illegal.  Gay marriage was created by an edict of the Ruling Class.  Normals were required not just to be tolerant but join in the celebration.  Bake them a cake, host their wedding pizza party or be held up to public humiliation and watch your business destroyed.  

People who think there are only two genders are classified as haters who hate, hate, hate.  Joe Biden was recently asked how many genders there were and his reply - “3” - was roundly mocked.  There is no “Woke” right answer.  Whatever your reply, it’s going to be wrong tomorrow and you will be denounced by the gender police.

Men dressed as women were suddenly transformed from mental cases to a protected class with their own letter in a growing alphabet of celebrated perversions.  Normal people go to a public bathroom designated for men or women and expect to see a member of the same sex there.  Wrong again, Buffalo Breath!  If you expect that, you’re pilloried as a bigot and will be exposed and boycotted by a new class of culture warriors who will scream at you and drive you out of restaurants after spitting in your face.    

There are very few people roaming the country who are mentally unstable enough to disown their own sexual organs.  The larger game is a power play by culture warriors to demonstrate their ability to destroy Normals.  They will smash the statue of your fallen hero to demonstrate their power in exactly the same way as the Taliban do in the territory they control; because they can.  It's cultural rape and, like sexual rape,  it’s done to show dominance.  They revel as Normals are forced to stand by.  Vikings, Vandals and other barbarians throughout history have done the same thing as they pillaged and plundered people that didn't have the ability or the will to resist.   
   
There’s a similarity between the Left’s onslaught and Nazi ideology.  Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” published in 1925 is an indictment of Jews for the ills that the Germans suffered following World War 1.  In 2019 the leading American newspaper, the New York Times, began the 1691 Project claiming that Black slaves built America and Whites are responsible for all its faults.   Nothing could be more Hitlerian than this.  

In Donald Trump, the American people have the first leader who is willing and able to lead them in resisting the onslaught of the Left in its attack on Normals.  He is willing to engage the Culture War.     

 His style is counter-attack and he gives with the same gusto and brutality as his attackers.  It shocked them at first, accustomed as they are to Republicans cowering when attacked.  The "polite" part of the Democrat Party began by calling him "un-Presidential."  The others went straight for calling him a mass murderer - worse than Stalin, Hitler and Mao - and accused him of stealing the election in collusion with Vladimir Putin.   In a very real way, Trump has driven the Leftist aggressors insane.  Failing to drive him from office via the Deep State's "insurance policy" they have become unhinged.  They are now saying that people using “reasonable” arguments are slaveholders.  

It remains to be seen if Trump, who is unique in the political world, will prevail or will be over-run by a horde of totalitarian Luddites who worship strange beliefs about the earth.  After all, the Poles were defeated after being double-teamed by two of the most despotic regimes in modern history.  But he fights, and so far he has prevailed in the face of the fires of Hell deployed by every sector of the Ruling Class against him.  We have an actual culture war instead of a Left-wing gang rape of the American culture thanks to Trump.  God works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform.

Babylon Bee: "MSNBC Admits They Make Up All Stories About Trump Using Book Of Mad Libs"



NEW YORK, NY—After Lawrence O'Donnell admitted to publishing a sensational, world-altering, but also totally fake story about Trump's finances and Russia, MSNBC confessed that it simply makes up all its reports about Trump using the patented Mad Libs system of making up random words and sticking them in blanks in pre-written sentences....

Using this system, MSNBC was able to produce a fake letter Trump sent to Putin while on summer vacation:

Dear PUTIN,

I am having a(n) TREASONOUS time at camp. The counselour is INSANE and the food is SINISTER. I met MIKE PENCE and we became ORANGE friends. Unfortunately, TRUMP is BAD and I TREASONED my COMBOVER so we couldn`t go BETRAYING like everybody else.

There Is No ‘Gay Gene,’ Comprehensive Scientific Study Finds

Interesting.

Recent polls have shown that most Americans believe that homosexuals are “born that way” rather than become gay as the result of environmental factors. In fact, perpetuating the belief that sexual orientation is innate has been crucial to the gay rights movement. According to the most recent Gallup Poll on the subject, 88 percent of people who believe homosexuals are “born that way” support the legality of same-sex marriage, while only 39 percent of those who believe homosexuality is the result of environmental factors support the legality of same-sex marriage.

So, what happens when science proves that homosexuals aren’t “born that way”? Perhaps we’ll find out. ...

According to Ganna, these genetic variances have “a very small effect” on sexual behavior, and combined, only explain “considerably less than 1% of the variance in the self-reported same-sex sexual behavior.” This means that non-genetic factors, including environment, upbringing, personality, and nurture “are far more significant in influencing a person's choice of sexual partner, just as with most other personality, behavioral and physical human traits,” according to the researchers.

2020 Vote Looks Like 1972 — With No Watergate

Whatever anyone might think of the president’s public personality, his progress toward his goal of radically altering the government and shattering or co-opting the long-tenured OBushinton political establishment has been a relentless and unstoppable juggernaut. His candidacy was mocked, his chances of election were minimized, his ability to avoid impeachment was artificially maintained in doubt for over two years, and the idea that he will be easy to defeat next year is only starting to expire, strangled by facts.

The country is prosperous and the attempt to orchestrate economic pessimism will be no more successful than all the bunk about misogyny, incitements to violence, “racially charged” demagogy, corruption, treason, chaos in the White House, and the rest of it.

Dear Normal American, this is what the New York Times thinks about you. (SLATE Transcript)

The New York Times Unites vs. Twitter

In a transcript of the newspaper’s crisis town-hall meeting, executive editor Dean Baquet grapples with a restive staff and outside scrutiny.


Staffer: Hello, I have another question about racism. I’m wondering to what extent you think that the fact of racism and white supremacy being sort of the foundation of this country should play into our reporting. Just because it feels to me like it should be a starting point, you know? Like these conversations about what is racist, what isn’t racist. I just feel like racism is in everything. It should be considered in our science reporting, in our culture reporting, in our national reporting. And so, to me, it’s less about the individual instances of racism, and sort of how we’re thinking about racism and white supremacy as the foundation of all of the systems in the country. And I think particularly as we are launching a 1619 Project, I feel like that’s going to open us up to even more criticism from people who are like, “OK, well you’re saying this, and you’re producing this big project about this. But are you guys actually considering this in your daily reporting?”
