Laura Ingraham is none too pleased with Donald Trump’s endorsement of Mehmet Oz for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, or Sean Hannity’s for that matter.

Oz is seeking the Republican nomination and hopes to replace the retiring Pat Toomey (R-PA).

On Tuesday’s Ingraham Angle, the Fox News host played years-old clips of Oz expressing concerns about climate change, the ability of mentally unwell people to purchase firearms, and states enacting strict anti-abortion laws. For Ingraham, his previous positions on these issues are disqualifying.

The host welcomed former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway to the show to discuss the endorsement. Conway has endorsed Dave McCormick in the primary.

“Do you think the Trump endorsement of Oz was a mistake?” Ingraham asked Conway.

“Well, President Trump’s endorsement in these Republican primaries is a highly sought after and deeply consequential piece of political currency. So many people want it, they make the trek to Bedminster or Mar-a-Lago–”

The host cut her off and asked, “Was it a mistake, Kellyanne?”

Rather than talk up her preferred candidate – McCormick – Conway praised Trump, who was on the record as being pro-abortion until he ran for president. She said he had a “conversion” on the issue. She also accused Oz of making “rookie mistakes.”

Ingraham then noted that her Fox News colleague Sean Hannity is partial to Oz.

“Hannity, I think, I believe endorsed Oz and I think that’s, you know, that’s probably not inconsequential for President Trump,” she said. “You wouldn’t answer the question whether it was a mistake. I think it was a mistake to endorse Oz. I’ll say it. I’m not afraid to say it. It was a mistake to endorse Oz.”

So the upturned thumb tells us all we need to know? (Dr. Mehmet Oz/Facebook)

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “This is all about winning elections in order to stop the Radical Left maniacs from destroying our country,” Donald Trump declared Saturday in his “Endorsement of Dr. Oz.” “Dr. Oz is Pro-Life, very strong on Crime, the Border, Election Fraud, our Great Military, and our Vets, Tax Cuts, and will always fight for and support our under-siege Second Amendment.”

A skeptical reaction by the Fletcher character from The Outlaw Josie Wales comes to mind. As does a nagging suspicion about being played.

Hey, someone’s gotta say it.

Regular readers of this column will remember the documentation of Oz’s stances on guns before he was running for office, including hosting “This Is Our Lane: Doctors Speak about Gun Violence,” endorsing infringements “including the banning of semiautomatic firearms” under the guise of “public health,” and further using his mass media platform to “sell” due process-denying “red flag laws” to his low-information audience.

The Gun Feed provided further irrefutable evidence of where Oz’s sympathies lie, including his call for fans to contact Congress to get the CDC back into the anti-gun advocacy through junk science business, and his Moms Demand Action-promoted hosting of anti-gun Rep. Lucy McBath.

“If the former president backs him that will tell all but the most self-deluded ‘3D chess’ apologists all they need to know,” I noted at the time.

Not quite.  The guy made a name for himself on TV by firing people. Perhaps if he was better at picking them in the first place, he wouldn’t need to end up angrily attacking so many he had nothing but high praise for in the beginning.

Consider all the wonderful things he said about William BarrChristopher WrayJeff SessionsMike PenceAnthony Scaramucci“Mad Dog” MattisMark Milley, and more.

Then consider how he described them and their qualifications after their fallings out, respectively: BarrWraySessionsPenceScaramucciMattisMilley

That’s not to say Trump was wrong in his final assessments, but we’re talking about his initial ones here. And noting he’s a man who puts the highest priority on being perceived as a winner, we see the reason he has nothing but superlatives in his latest endorsement:

“Perhaps most importantly, I believe that Mehmet Oz will be the one most able to win the General Election against a Radical Left Democrat looking to do unthinkable harm to our Country.”

How electing someone the smart money says will be a leader in future Republican “compromises” on guns will be a “win” (for anyone who cares about the right to keep and bear arms) is left unstated. But it’s bigger than that, though, right? We need a Republican Senate majority so we can stop dangerous Biden appointments, like the recently confirmed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, pushed over the top by two other Trump endorsees Susan Collins, and Mitt Romney.

Speaking of that process, it’s on Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans to explain why they didn’t even try to deny a quorum and prevent the vote from coming to the floor. It’s also on each of the national “gun rights groups” that did not urge their members to pressure them, and are now using the existential threat Jackson represents to solicit donations. There was no chance? How would they know without a committed fight, and how would that fight, and its risks, compare against the ones their members will now be forced into?

Now, in Pennsylvania, gun owners will once more be forced into a “lesser of two evils” decision, and one that can’t be resolved in the primary.  Trump’s first choice, Sean Parnell, appeared to be on track with key “conservative” issues, including guns and immigration but suspended his campaign after being accused of abuse by his estranged wife. The other alternative is globalist “Bush Republican” David McCormick who throws gun owners this bone while wearing the obligatory orange vest and cap:

“Protecting our 2nd Amendment Rights – Dave grew up hunting on his family’s farm in Bloomsburg and remains a hunter to this day. He is a strong believer in our Second Amendment rights and will stand up against the extreme left who want to abolish our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.”

An identical testimonial, equally as weasel-worded and meaningless, could have been offered up by Fudds for Biden. This is the best that Pennsylvania Republicans can offer, and the most that Pennsylvania gun owners have the clout to demand? Over the years acceptance of oath-breaking lumps like Tom Ridge, Arlen Specter, and Pat Toomey have convinced the establishment that they can get away with serial betrayals and never pay a price at the polls.

Left unaddressed is what the effects of taking fire out of bellies will have on voter turnout. Won‘t everyone be surprised, including Donald Trump considering his prospects for a 2024 comeback, if their best-laid schemes result in John FettermanMalcolm Kenyatta, or Conor Lamb taking home the prize?

Deep State Using Communism to Enslave Humanity

The Deep State has been openly cooperating with and using communists and communism to destroy civilization and enslave humanity for over a century, warns The New American magazine's Alex Newman in this episode of Behind The Deep State. Using proof from a variety of different sources, Newman shows how the Deep State and its minions inside the U.S. government have been deliberately betraying whole nations into communism, beginning with the Soviet Union and later Communist China and Cuba. Congress investigated this and found that even the great Deep State tax-exempt foundations were working to so alter life in the United States that it could be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union. This evil agenda continues today as the Communist Party USA and Black Lives Matter, with connections to Deep State power players, "utilize" the Democrat Party as they work to overthrow America's constitutional Republic. Communism is basically a tentacle of the Deep State and its war on humanity.  🇺🇸 The New American: http://www.thenewamerican.com/

According to Heavy, Frank James, who is being sought in connection with the Brooklyn subway shooting, went by the name Frank Whitaker on social media. Back in 2014, he posted this:

Does that make him a jihadi? No, not in itself. But it suggests at least an affinity for the Nation of Islam, which has never rejected the violence aspects of orthodox Islam. It’s an interesting aspect of the case, although the clueless and compromised feds are virtually certain to ignore it.

Secret plan to flood America with millions of “economic migrants” exposed as Biden regime declares war on American citizens

Image: Secret plan to flood America with millions of “economic migrants” exposed as Biden regime declares war on American citizens

(Natural News) The Biden regime’s plan to completely wreck America, begun in earnest under Barack Obama, is moving forward, as evidenced by the discovery of a secret plan being implemented by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

According to Breitbart News, at the behest of Obama’s people who are really running Biden’s White House, Mayorkas has directed his agency to ensure that ‘economic’ migrants are provided with every opportunity to stay illegally in America after Title 42 is lifted in early May, regardless of the massive harm he will cause American citizens.

Mayorkas’ plans were laid out in a February strategy document that was leaked to Breitbart Texas this week. The strategy is called, “DHS Southwest Border Mass Irregular Migration Contingency Plan,” and on page 16 of the document it says:

A. Secretary’s Intent.

1 ) Purpose: The purpose of this plan is to describe a proactive approach that humanely prevents and responds to surges in irregular migration across the U.S. [southern border]. This will be done while ensuring that migrants can apply for any form of relief or protection [emphasis added] for which they may be eligible, including asylum, withholding of removal, and protection from removal under the regulations implementing United States obligations under the Convention Against Torture.

To guarantee the maximum U.S. taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens, the DHS chief is calling for minimal detention and deportation, though federal law generally denies entry of foreign workers and economic migrants to the country. His play is providing ‘authority’ for border agents to ensure as many illegal migrants as possible can be ‘legally’ allowed to stay:

Current pathways to removal [deportations] will be limited. Component use of broadscale release mechanisms (i.e., Own Recognizance (OR) with the issuance of a Notice to Appear (NTA), or parole and Alternatives to Detention (ATD) with administrative tools are necessary to ensure humane and efficient treatment of migrants.

What about the “humane” treatment of American citizens?

According to Breitbart News, the parole side-door “is a very limited authority that Congress has given for exceptional situations” including a sick airline passenger, Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge, told the outlet last year. It “is very narrowly written [for small numbers of people], but the administration has blown right past the limitations,” he said, noting that the Obama-Biden-Harris regime simply doesn’t care about U.S. law because they know that no one is going to hold them responsible.

“In February, up to 165,000 migrants arrived at the border, and Mayorkas admitted 74,000 under various legal claims. Very few of the arrivals were detained, and few prior arrivals were deported, despite the federal law,” Breitbart News reported, adding:

The Cuban-born Mayorkas is a pro-migration zealot who argued in 2013 that Americans’ homeland “always has been, and forever will remain a nation of immigrants.” Only about one-third of Americans accept the “nation of immigrants” narrative, according to a survey by a pro-migration group.

So his plan ignores the reasonable and rational economic concerns of roughly at least 100 million citizens of the United States.

As the sworn top official within the Department of Homeland Security, Mayorkas is legally bound to protect the economic interests of American citizens from illegal aliens and unscrupulous U.S.-based employers who hire them. Americans’ concerns include the ability to earn liveable wages within a labor market that is increasingly tight due to the country being at near full employment; flooding the market with illegal workers who will work for less will depress wages, not keep them higher.

The people running Biden’s regime are criminals, pure and simple. They are America-last sycophants who are doing everything they can to destroy our country as founded. If Republicans win big in November and don’t hold these people responsible, then the country we grew up in will have already ceased to exist.

UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO: YOUNG AMERICANS FOR FREEDOM Conservative Student Forced to Hide in Bathroom to Escape Mob

Student ‘feared for life’ after being chased by woke mob targeting Allen West

UB Police investigating reports of harassment following politician's visit

Former Texas GOP Chair Lt. Col. Allen West slammed the "radical mob" that interrupted his speech on American exceptionalism at the University of Buffalo. West told "The Brian Kilmeade Show" Tuesday that he was appearing last week on behalf of the Young Americas Foundation to speak about race and make the argument that America is not a racist country. "Who better that they think could do that than someone such as myself who was born in a Blacks-only hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, 61 years ago?" said West. The author and former Florida congressman said that despite being born in an era of segregation, he has still become successful. He also noted that his wife came to the United States legally as an immigrant from Jamaica. His wife now holds an MBA and a Ph.D. However, many students did not want to hear his story. Video "As a matter of fact, they were very disruptive, and I think people have seen now that it was a mob, it was radical, it was militant, and I had to be escorted off of the campus by police officers. And then after that, they turned their angst against many of those conservative students that were there who had invited me to come and speak," he explained. West was not the only person targeted by the mob. Young Americans for Freedom President Therese Purcell joined "Fox & Friends First" Monday to discuss the incident and how the meeting spiraled out of control. "I was really afraid for my life since they physically assaulted my friend, and like I said, they were screaming, no peace," Purcell told co-host Todd Piro. "I don't think they were going to do anything remotely peaceful. They were a very angry mob, and they were clearly saying that they were trying to chase me, that they wanted to capture me." Video West noted how America was once a place where Black students needed to be escorted onto college campuses to protect them from White students. "Here I am having to be escorted off a university campus and being screamed at by Black students who still want to talk about how they're oppressed. How does their behavior solve anything?" he asked, saying the students were "triggered" because he does not share their perspective. "They had to end the event early and then outside they were banging, kicking doors, and screaming, ‘We want West.’ I got to tell you, I don't know what they wanted, but if anyone had tried to, you know, physically assault me, it would have been a not good day for them."

The president of the conservative Young Americans for Freedom club on the campus of the University of Buffalo was forced to run for her life and hide in a bathroom after a woke mob targeted her and began to chase her from a lecture given by conservative activist Allen West.

“They were a very angry mob, and they were clearly saying that they were trying to chase me, that they wanted to capture me,” Therese Purcell said in an appearance on Fox News Monday. “I’m afraid of what would have happened if I wasn’t able to hide from them.”

Washington Examiner:

“This despicable attack on conservative students prove exactly why YAF’s campus lectures are needed––to pop the liberal bubble and expose the hideous reality of the intolerant Left,” YAF spokeswoman Kara Zupkus wrote in a post on the organization’s website.

That may very well be true. But first, she has to survive the infantile tantrum-throwing by the woke mob that uses stormtrooper tactics to silence dissent.

Fox News:

Purcell claimed the threats escalated as protesters started screaming “no peace,” and “banging on the walls,” prompting Lt. Col. West to be escorted out by police.

Purcell said she followed him out alongside officials, but the mob quickly began to target her personally urging one another to “capture” her. She escaped into a bathroom to just barely evade the angry crowd.

“It was a really crazy event that we were trying to bring a Black voice to campus to talk about these issues of racism and American exceptionalism, and while they were screaming that we were trying to silence Black voices, we were actually trying to bring this conversation to campus,” Purcell stated.

Given the psychology of the mob, the “capture” of Purcell could very well have resulted in her being beaten to death. She was absolutely right to flee for her life.

Purcell seems genuinely perplexed that West’s “black voice” was not met with a receptive audience. She’s very young and will learn very quickly.

The woke mob is not interested in debate. They don’t want dialogue. They are ignorant of the forms and procedures of democratic dissent. They don’t care about other human beings at all.

They’re too stupid to realize they’re destroying the country. Or if they do realize it, they believe that to be a good thing.

WHISTLEBLOWER: Hundreds of Disney Employees Have Been Busted for Sex Crimes Against Children

BY MATT MARGOLIS

A Walt Disney Company whistleblower made a bombshell claim on Monday when she revealed that hundreds of employees have been arrested for child sex crimes throughout the years, and the company has done everything possible to sweep that under the rug to protect its brand.

Last month, three Disney employees were caught up in a child sex trafficking sting.

The whistleblower, who went by the name Kathy, made her claim on Newsmax’s The Benny Show with host Benny Johnson. She explained that the company never internally addresses “things that are unpleasant” and employees are instructed not to bring up issues that could jeopardize Disney’s world-famous brand.

Disney has, however, felt that embracing transgender ideology and opposing Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill are somehow on brand. Recent polling shows that over 60% of U.S. voters support the bill’s language.

Related: Americans Sour on Disney’s LGBTQ Agenda

Johnson asked Kathy if Disney ever internally addressed the “very severe and horrifying record” of Disney employees being charged for sex crimes against children. She emphatically said, “No.”

“We don’t talk about things that are unpleasant,” she added. She also explained that Disney employees are “constantly” monitored. While it would be nearly impossible for an employee to do anything to a child while on the clock, the real issue is what they do on their personal time.

“We are watched constantly. We have cameras everywhere on us. You can’t walk away with a child. So that would be pretty much an impossibility. But what people do on their off time. That’s kind of scary… And it’s not discussed.” One employee caught in the sting last month was a 27-year-old lifeguard at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort named Xavier Jackson.

“I would bet dollars to donuts that the leadership team never even spoke to the rest of the team about why [Jackson] is no longer with the company.”

The whistleblower also lamented the way the company has embraced a woke agenda.

“I don’t see it getting any better…The agenda has to be pushed…I don’t think it’s going to make a huge difference in their business,” Kathy said. “The middle-class American family is not what Disney is after anymore.”

Earlier this month, a recording of a company-wide zoom meeting was leaked, and it showed Karen Burke, the president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content, saying Disney has “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories.” The leaked recording also showed executive producer Latoya Raveneau stating that her team has implemented a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and is regularly “adding queerness” to children’s programming.

The company has also committed to fighting Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law.

POLICE STATE New Jersey to Force Second-Graders to Learn Explicit Details About ‘Gender Identity’

Welcome to “modern-day public school education."

BY ROBERT SPENCER

The madness that is spreading through the land is coming to New Jersey second-graders: seven- and eight-year-olds with the misfortune of having to attend public schools will be forced this fall to learn all the latest fashionable insanity about how boys may really be girls and vice versa, setting up some of them to destroy their lives in the ensuing years. This is child abuse on a grand scale, otherwise known as a “modern-day public school education.”

New state sex education guidelines are set to take effect this September in the Garden State, requiring that once they have completed second grade, children should grasp the “core ideas” that all “individuals should feel welcome and included regardless of their gender, gender expression or sexual orientation.” Traditional morality would be disallowed under these guidelines, no matter how politely stated, for even a soft-spoken affirmation that some sexual orientations or gender expressions might actually be actively harmful to the human spirit would clearly not be welcome, and so are ruled out.

Predictably, it gets even worse. According to Fox News, “the standards listed ‘performance expectations’ for second graders, which includes discussing ‘the range of ways people express their gender and how gender role stereotypes may limit behavior.’” This range, of course, includes all of today’s officially sanctioned insanity, and the standards do everything they can to break down a child’s emerging sense of the differences between the sexes.

The child abuse starts as early as possible: “One lesson plan, ‘Purple, Pink and Blue,’ instructs teachers to talk to their first graders about gender identity, and its first objective is to have the students be able to define ‘gender, gender identity and gender role stereotypes.’” First-graders. And once these child victims have mastered the concept of “gender identity,” it’s on to gender fluidity: “The lesson’s second objective is to have students name ‘at least two things they’ve been taught about gender role stereotypes and how those things may limit people of all genders.’”

What on earth do first- and second-graders know about gender role stereotypes? Whatever they may know or not know, in New Jersey public schools they’re going to be breaking it down and filling their young charges’ heads with nonsense. A lesson plan states: “Gender identity is that feeling of knowing your gender. You might feel like you are a boy, you might feel like you are a girl. You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl’ parts. You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘boy’ parts. And you might not feel like you’re a boy or a girl, but you’re a little bit of both. No matter how you feel, you’re perfectly normal!” Anything and everything is “perfectly normal,” except, of course, believing that boys are boys and girls are girls and that one cannot become the other, or, for that matter, be a bit of boy and a bit of girl.

Fox notes that “another lesson plan for second graders, ‘Understanding Our Bodies,’ tells teachers to instruct students that ‘there are some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have.’ Being a boy or a girl doesn’t have to mean you have those parts, but for most people, this is how their bodies are. Most people have a vulva and a vagina or a penis and testicles, but some people’s bodies can be different. Your body is exactly what is right for you.” This is a needless and irresponsible complication of something that is actually quite simple: actually having male body parts does mean that you’re a boy, and having female body parts means that you’re a girl. But clearly, that’s the agenda here: to sow confusion that can be exploited to recruit more transgenders and normalize defiant rejection of unwelcome realities.

Second-graders will also be required to “identify at least four body parts” from genitalia, and to describe “why it is important for them to know the correct names for the genitals.” Well, sure. If you’re going to trade them in for a new set, you’ll need to know their names.

New Jersey Assemblywoman Vicky Flynn, a Republican, had the last word on this criminal madness: “No kid should have to talk about sex with their elementary school teacher.” Indeed.

The Left’s War on Childhood: Leftists demand safe spaces for themselves, but take them away from children.

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/04/lefts-war-childhood-daniel-greenfield/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

From Greta Thunberg to children put on puberty blockers, the victims of the war on childhood are everywhere. They show up at environmental or gun control rallies holding up giant signs in their little hands, they’re indoctrinated at school to enlist as child soldiers for the latest cause.

Adults tell them that unless they save the world, they won’t even live long enough to grow up.

At the heart of the exchange of political buzzwords of the culture war is a simple question about whether childhood should exist. Leftists believe that no one may evade political commitments and that therefore the idea that childhood should be a space apart from adult causes and concerns is a privilege that it is the job of teachers and popular culture to shatter into pieces.

And that is the war on childhood that we see all around us waged from Disney to kindergarten.

What this is really about is the leftist conviction that children cannot be allowed to be children, occupying a separate world of imagination and wonder, but must be indoctrinated into the fight as soon as possible with The Anti-Racist Baby Book and Baby Loves Green Energy. The only way to save the world is by politicizing childhood and turning children into little adults worrying about microaggressions, experimenting with sexuality, and fearing that the world will end.

Utopia, the fantasy land of progressive adults who act like children, has no room for children.

It is the job of adults to save the planet, assuming it needs saving, to debate political causes, to explore whatever sexuality needs exploring, and to build or wreck their lives how they please.

And it is their primary job to protect children from living in that threatening adult world.

Play is the business of childhood. From the Victorian era onward, civilized societies worked to create safe spaces for children to grow and learn before that became a term for whiny adults. Reformers and muckrakers took children out of factories. Growing prosperity enabled the rise of a children’s culture in which a multitude of toys and books meant for children filled shops.

Adults protected children, preserving their innocence while they developed into unique people.

Baby Boomers, a generation whose name is of an era of progeny, may have enjoyed the last golden childhood in American history. And many never grew up. The generations that followed came of age during the breaking of the American family and now the very idea of family. The indirect damage done to children is now being eclipsed by the direct assault on childhood.

The radical leftists who demand safe spaces for themselves are taking them away from children. Children are being put to work again, not in factories, which would be kinder by comparison, but in radical causes, they are being told that they are on the verge of death, that their country is evil, and the world is about to be destroyed if they don’t do something at once.

That’s where the traumatized children screaming angrily at rallies come from.

Children, especially young children, implicitly trust adults and their parents. If they’re told that the world is about to end, that they’re racists, or have to experiment with gender, they believe it.

The adults who deprive them of their innocence and their childhood are the monsters.

Instead of growing up feeling safe and protected, leftist children are traumatized at an early age by being forced to think of the world as a dangerous and evil place their parents can’t protect them from, but that they must take on the responsibility to change or else everyone will die.

The “parentification” of children began as Baby Boomer despair in the wake of the end of “Camelot”, the death of leftist culture heroes, and the collapse of the counterculture, followed by the conviction that the next generation had to take over and fix things. Adults who acted like children insisted that children had to become adults. And these days the precocious children and immature adults are all around us. They’re also two halves of the same tarnished coin.

Adults who lacked a safe childhood assert the privileges of childhood as soon as they’re economically secure enough to supply themselves with one. They surround themselves with toys, exclusively pursue the most direct pleasures, clamor for safe spaces, and trigger warnings, for the emotional security they lacked as children. But they deny that emotional security to actual children and selfishly traumatize them for their own actualization.

Teachers on TikTok freely assert that their feelings matter more than the safety of children.

The aggressive push to embed sexual politics into elementary schools is how dysfunctional adults, including some teachers, prioritize their own sexual identity over the welfare of children.

It’s also on a par with pushing politics in general on children at the youngest possible age.

The transgender war on children is only the latest in a series of assaults on childhood by politicizing everything. When African warlords enlist 8-year-olds to fight for their causes, we think that’s monstrous, but when leftists turn Greta Thunberg, an unstable teenage girl, into a heroine and encourage even preschoolers to protest over global warming, that’s activism.

Activism is how the educational war on childhood began. Now the war is not just about how children see the world but against their bodies. Child soldiers are expected to be willing to die. The sexual identity political movement expects children to have their minds damaged and their bodies mutilated, taking away their ability to have their own children, as a political commitment.

Even African warlords would find that unfathomably barbaric.

The ancients sacrificed children to the fires of Moloch while progressives sacrifice them to their passion for wokeness. Either one is a symbolic assertion that the obsessions of the adult are more important than the safety of the child. Civilized adults don’t act this way. Barbarians, which is another way of saying children who inhabit the bodies of adults without the disciplined ethics of adulthood, do things like this because they live in a Lord of the Flies world of emotional turmoil, fearful insecurity, and angry selfishness. They see every encounter as a threat to their fragile identities, their insecurities surround them with humiliating microaggressions, and they retreat from their conviction that the world is a threatening place by escaping into fantasies.

Fantasies are supposed to be the business of children, but in the post-modern age, fantasies, supernatural, conspiratorial, political, and utopian, are all around us. And adults sacrifice children to utopian ideologies that promise that a better world is just around the corner.

All it will take is destroying childhood and then children.    

Biden’s Iran Nuke Deal is So Outrageously Bad

Even Democrats oppose it.

Republicans who go against their party are a common sight in Washington. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.), and the rest vote with Democrats so often, that it’s hard to see them as anything but controlled opposition. Democrats, however, generally march in lockstep; one of the reasons for the unhinged outrage against Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) for opposing Biden’s socialist agenda was that Democrats simply don’t do that. They vote with the party at all times, like good comrades.

But now, a group of no fewer than eighteen Democrats in the House have come out publicly against Biden’s Iran nuclear deal. For that many Democrats to break ranks with the putative boss, the deal must be extraordinarily bad.

One of the group, Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.), explained Wednesday, “We understand that while the recent negotiations have not concluded, we feel that we can’t stay quiet about the unacceptable and deeply troubling turn that these talks have reportedly taken.”

Unacceptable and deeply troubling is an understatement. Old Joe Biden’s handlers, in yet another of their endless series of decisions that could easily have catastrophic consequences for ordinary Americans, have actually turned over the leadership of the Iran nuke deal negotiations in Vienna to a Russian diplomat, Mikhail Ulyanov. And Ulyanov explained early in March that the deal will be of immense benefit to two countries: the Islamic Republic of Iran and the People’s Republic of China.

Ulyanov didn’t say anything about the United States of America benefiting from the deal, and apparently, Biden’s handlers are fine with that. Another member of the group of eighteen sane Democrats, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) asked, “Are we seriously going to let a war criminal, Vladimir Putin, be the guarantor of this deal?” Apparently, we are.

The deal gets worse from there. Right now, Biden’s handlers are considering dropping the terrorist designation from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC; the establishment media fastidiously and inaccurately calls the group the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, trying to obscure the Islamic wellspring of its activities). Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid issued a joint statement on March 18, declaring that the IRGC is “a terrorist organization that has murdered thousands of people, including Americans. We refuse to believe that the United States would remove its designation as a terrorist organization.” Believe it.

Lapid and Bennett also noted that the IRGC “directs and instructs Hezbollah in Lebanon, Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen and militias in Iraq, and that the body is responsible for attacks against American civilians and American forces throughout the Middle East, including in the past year.” They added, “They kill Jews because they are Jews, Christians because they are Christians, and Muslims because they refuse to surrender to them.” Biden’s handlers, on the other hand, seem ready enough to surrender to them.

Rep. Juan Vargas (D-Calif.) pointed out that Biden’s handlers have kept Congress in the “dark” about the details of the deal, and noted some disquieting parallels between the situation today and Obama’s disastrous 2015 Iran nuke deal. “It’s a little bit like last time. They keep us in the dark. Then … it turns out there are some fatal flaws,” Vargas said. “It was a bad deal then, and it’s a bad deal now.” Indeed. “We cannot afford another failed agreement,” Rep. Luria added.

It’s great to see that there are still some members of the Democrat Party who actually care about the United States of America and don’t want to see us enter into a ridiculously one-sided and possibly suicidal deal with a rogue state whose leaders regularly chant “Death to America.” Biden’s handlers, on the other hand, are so avid to vindicate Barack Obama against that upstart Trump who flushed the first Iran deal that it seems as if any deal will do, no matter how catastrophic its consequences could be.

Biden’s handlers should heed the warnings of these eighteen Democrats. But it’s much more likely that they’ll be ignored by the White House and excoriated by the media while the deal is signed, sealed, and delivered. It’s very clear that the Leftist oligarchs in charge do not like dissent. It will accordingly be quite interesting to watch the careers of Elaine Luria, Josh Gottheimer, and the rest.
