Friends, now that some books are being removed from public school libraries in Florida, leftists are up in arms -- banning and cancelling things is just plain wrong!!! Of course, usually the shoe is on the other foot. We conservatives now face the dilemma of deciding whether we favor or oppose the elimination of TikTok. Few of us actually like TikTok, or the Chicoms who run it, but then again we have to ask ourselves whether it's government's place to tell people what apps they can't and can't use...
This is only one of numerous scintillating topics that Brian and I cover in this week's Newsmaker Show. We also discuss the nagging problem of direct Chinese interference in Western politics, the nature and composition of the global elite, whether Trump can capture the GOP presidential nomination without Fox News's say-so, and the dangers of the Left's omnivorous approach to prosecuting Donald Trump.
It's a truly great show, people! Listen in today.

But that's not all! Feast your eyes on this article that I recently published in Townhall. It exposes an arm of the federal government that you might not have heard of, but which will lie at the heart of Joe Biden's drive to make "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (i.e. wokeness and quotas) central to the operations of our nation's bureaucracy...as though they weren't already!
Dr. Waddy from Jack: So they've gone and done it. An undeclared onslaught on the real America is now fully declared! At extreme hazard is all we value.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: I think China's fundamental intent and purpose is to assure its security and integrity. It may be though that they consider exercise of their considerable power outside China to be therefore necessary. And the memory of China's degradation by western and Japanese predators would, I think, in their eyes, morally justify interference in the internal affairs of those powers today. As a great and 3000 year old civilization, their history is a present and driving factor in their policies of which we must be fully informed.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: Perhaps the UK also presents an example of change in the makeup of dominant elites. In the late 19th century PM Lord Salisbury was open in his opinion that the British upper class, born and schooled to rule, should rule! But Labor achieved Parliamentary leadership in 1924, assured Churchill's fortuitous ascension in 1940 and then went and beat the great gentleman in 1945. Postwar they have had at least 3 PMs I can think of. When they got too big for their britches wonderful Dame Thatcher slapped them down smartly and she was no aristocrat.
ReplyDeleteJack, the only thing that surprises me is that it took them this long to indict Trump. Who knows whether they will ever get him in the slammer, but, purely based on the power of the forces targeting him, I don't like his chances.
ReplyDeleteJack, I don't begrudge the Chinese the right to project their immense power, to a point. Or rather I fully expect them to try...and I expect our leaders to push back, at least where our interests are in conflict. Instead, our leaders are too busy counting their ill-gotten Yuan.
I'm with Nigel Farage: if the British Conservatives are, in any meaningful sense, "conservative", they're mighty subtle about it!
Dr.Waddy from Jack : I agree with you on China. I only maintain that we fully understand their motivations. If they seek "equity" for gunboat diplomacy they may find it in our deliverance of them from Japanese savagery at some little human cost to us!
ReplyDeleteJack, we certainly did play a major role in delivering the Chinese from Japanese oppression...but somehow I doubt that Chinese educators dwell on this theme in today's classrooms!
