THIS SHOULD BE FUN: Project Veritas is sticking it to the New York Times.

Let the trial begin.

VELVET ROPES AWARDED MEDAL OF FREEDOM for saving democracy during Jan 6 insurrection.

Yes, it's supposed to be satire, but these days one can never be absolutely sure....

ONE MUST HAVE HOPE: Will France save western civilization?

What is happening in France is happening here in spades. The following is a statement written by French soldiers to their government. Read it and tell me if that same statement could be written (with only minor changes) to our leadership here in the U.S.

Mister President, Members of the Cabinet, Members of Parliament,

The hour is late, France is in peril, threatened by several mortal dangers. Though retired, we remain soldiers of France, and cannot, under the present circumstances, remain indifferent to the fate of our beautiful country.

Our tricolor flags are not simply a piece of fabric; they are a symbol of tradition—the tradition of those who, throughout the ages, whatever the color of their skin or their religion, served France and gave their lives for her. On these flags, in golden letters, is inscribed the motto, “Honor and Fatherland.” Today, our honor rests on denouncing the crumbling-apart of our fatherland.

Crumbling-apart through a certain kind of anti-racism, which has an explicit goal: to sow malaise on our soil, up to and including hate between communities. Today, some speak of racialism, of indigenism, and of anti-colonial theories, but with these words, those hateful and fanatical partisans seek to foment a racial war. They despise our country, her traditions, her culture, and want to watch her dissolve by tearing her away from her past and her history. Thus, by attacking statues and analyzing words from several centuries ago, their true goal is to undermine our ancient civil and military glories.

Crumbling-apart through Islamism and the hordes from the Banlieues. Several patches of our nation have been detached and turned into territories put under submission to dogmas contrary to our Constitution. Every Frenchman, regardless of belief or non-belief, must be everywhere at home in France; there cannot and must not exist any city, any neighborhood, where the laws of the Republic do not have writ.

Crumbling-apart, when hate replaces fraternity during protests, when the regime uses police as jackboots and scapegoats, against yellow-vest-wearing compatriots who seek only to express their hopelessness. This even though ski-mask-wearing individuals infiltrate those protests, destroy businesses, and threaten the police. And yet, the police only follow the sometimes-contradictory policies set out by you, holders of political office.

The peril rises, violence increases every day. Who could have predicted, ten years ago, that a teacher could one day have his head cut off as he left his middle school? As servants of the Nation, who have always been ready to pay the ultimate price for our service, we cannot remain passive spectators of such actions.

Therefore, the leaders of our country must absolutely find the courage required to eradicate those dangers. To do so, it is often necessary only to apply existing laws without weakness. Do not forget that, like us, a great majority of our fellow citizens is incensed by your cowardice and your guilty silences.

As Cardinal Mercier, Primate of Belgium, once said: “When prudence is everywhere, courage is nowhere.” Ladies and Gentlemen, stop equivocating—the hour is late, the work ahead is immense. Do not lose time, and know that we are ready to support political leaders who would undertake the rescue of the Nation.

However, if nothing is done, heedlessness will continue to spread its poison throughout society, inexorably. In the end, there will be an explosion, and our comrades in active military service will be forced to step in and undertake the perilous mission of protecting our civilizational values and the lives of our fellow citizens.

It is easy to see that the time for hesitation is over. Otherwise, tomorrow, civil war will put an end to this growing chaos, and there will be thousands of deaths, of which you will bear responsibility.

France, hopefully, has the spine to do something. Our leadership doesn't.

JUST ... SHUT ... UP: A software company comes up with a brilliant corporate speech policy.

NEW YORK GOV. CUOMO working on resurrecting 89 deceased nursing home patients to gain back House seat lost in the 2020 census.

I guess he's figured out a lawsuit is a loser.

AT LEAST UNTIL 2022: The Deep State is back.

THE CANCER OF CRITICAL RACE THEORY: Has the disease go undiagnosed for too long?

Yes.

MEDIA HYSTERIA means the Arizona election audit may be on to something.

As properly noted, Joe Biden is and will remain President through 2024. BUT ... the fraud that so clearly permitted his election must be exposed and prevented from ever occurring again.

AMERICAN MEANNESS: Liz Cheney may lose her GOP post soon.

Her comeuppance is overdue. I was never really impressed with her and surprised at her rapid ascent to a leadership post in the Republican caucus.

THE RISE OF THE JOELS: Men can be just as totalitarian, petty, shrewish, haranguing and busybodied as women.

So far I've been lucky: one Karen, no Joels....

ACTIVISTS BAILED 70 PEOPLE OUT OF THE DANE COUNTY JAIL IN LAST YEAR; 25 have been rearrested.

Make of it what you wish, but it seems to me that arrestees who've been bailed out by someone else are less likely to give up their 'day jobs'....

Update: the 'professor' has been put on (terminal) leave.
