Friends, today's column by Robert Reich is historic. He specifically comes out against a Biden run for reelection in 2024. That's very significant (to me), because Reich is a mouthpiece for the Democratic establishment. He feeds red meat to the leftist base on a regular basis -- that's his thing -- but it's all red meat inspected and approved by the white-jacketed experts at DNC headquarters. Reich's article advising Biden not to run again actually says startingly little about Biden himself. Reich is trying to give the old man a way to leave the scene with his dignity intact, and no doubt he fears the wrath of leftists who might see his article as a betrayal. Be that as it may, Reich is on the record: Biden shouldn't run again. Those voices seem to be proliferating every day. And the Dems haven't even faced the voters yet! When that happens, in November, expect the pressure on Biden to escalate to undreamed-of heights...
And here's a story that you'll see virtually nothing of in the mainstream media. An armed civilian stopped a mass shooter in his tracks in Indiana. Could the answer to guns in the hands of the wrong people be...guns in the hands of the right people? Heavens, no! That's icky! Unless, I guess, the "right people" are Ukrainian, in which case we should arm them to the teeth...
Dr.Waddy from Jack: the American dem/ far left is condemned by its alignment with the Marxist America hating faction, though it took this only to confirm its to totalitarian essence!

Dr.Waddy from Jack: Reich's article noted many of the conditions we in our mid '70s experience. But what caught my attention was his disclaimer of undefined "ageism". How convenient it is for leftists seeking to automatically discredit any one they wish to publicly destroy to presumptuously take an otherwise value free term and add the suffix "ism", in order to suppress and intimidate opposition. Now let a nonleftist protest non (the accused ism) and defend themselves they are nonetheless denounced to the Inquisition for probable political auto da fe (abject apology) and subsequent immolation. But a proven leftist ideologue like Reich ? He has only to express passing regret in freeing himself from the enervating excoriation he and his ilk would gladly force upon evil minded dissenters. Age (to "ageism), looks (to " lookism),sex ( to "sexism") etc. ad nauseum. Leftists presume moral authorityto coin such terms, attack any criticism of them and undo thereby any who express doubt of the terms themselves or their role in leftist intimidation! Let the real America presume this for itself! EG:"loyalism" to mean treason; "climatism" to mean antihumanity and suppression of technologicallly advanced uses of energy to advance human well being. Oh, how about "moralism" to mean leftist?assertion that morals are "irrelevant"
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: I believe Reich was quoted on Fox News as having enounced assertions to the effect that Joe Manchin presents a fundamental threat to American civilization and democracy. Well, yeah, Joe does faithfully represent his W.Va constituents, as he should, in standing against the far leftist captured Biden administration's demonstrated intent to force the the plans of the" american" America hating neo Marxist faction, (eg. the bizarre Squad) on the real America! I strongly expect that that IS the resolve of W.Va overall and of the real America of which it is an integral part.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: How lucky for the lawful defender that he did it not in NY state. There he would have been immediately arrested and jailedwith those of the criminal ilk he had just and justly thwarted. But in NY state his insolent disregard for the "feelings" of the mass shooter would have summarily condemned him! Oh sure, he might have found redemption in court but in criminal loving NY? It'll cost ya!!
ReplyDeleteJack, that's a good point that Reich commits "ageism" is his arguments against Biden's reelection. He cloaks his prejudice well in self-mockery, of course. And, I hasten to add, all of it is COMPLETELY disingenuous. Biden is exactly one week older than he was a week ago. Last week Reich didn't have a problem with Biden's age or his mental acuity. This week he does. The underlying reality, which Reich never acknowledges, is that Biden has become an albatross around the neck of his precious Democratic Party, and so he has to go. Likewise, note that Liz Cheney was never mortified by DJT's rolling "insurrection" until January 7th, when all of a sudden the polling environment and public opinion seemed to have shifted enough to justify her altered stance. These people are beneath contempt, but it's still intriguing to watch their verbal and mental gymnastics unfold.
ReplyDeleteYes, Reich is now calling for Manchin's expulsion from the Democratic Party. Manchin might welcome it, if it happens!
