It’s Wednesday, December 15th, 2021…but before we begin, consider the following FOX<\/em> headline…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owner of diner where shooting suspect worked places blame on parents<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…then you tell us: Why would anyone<\/span><\/em>…other than a complete imbecile…care about the thoughts and opinions of the owner of a diner where a demented young man worked on a mere eight or nine occasions?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

First up, speaking about those whose thoughts and opinions only an imbecile would value, just when we thought we’d heard everything, FOX<\/em> informs us…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Richard Blumenthal spoke at Communist award show, touted ‘Build Back Better<\/span>‘<\/span><\/h1>\n

Democratic senator pitches ‘Build Back Better’ to Connecticut communists<\/span><\/h3>\n

“Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of\u00a0Connecticut\u00a0appeared Saturday at the Connecticut People’s World Committee Amistad Awards. CPWC is a\u00a0Communist\u00a0Party affiliate political advocacy organization<\/span><\/em>.<\/span> Blumenthal appeared at the event to distribute certificates of special recognition to the three recipients of the awards,<\/span>\u00a0video from the event<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span>\u00a0posted on Facebook shows.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“We invite you to join the Communist Party in this epic time as we make good trouble to uproot systemic racism, retool the war economy, tax the rich, address climate change, secure voting rights and create a new socialist system that puts people, peace and planet before profits,” emcee Ben McManus told the audience during the event.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Blumenthal was introduced as a “special surprise guest.” “I’m here to honor the great tradition of activism and standing up for individual workers that is represented by the three honorees here<\/em><\/span>,” Blumenthal said<\/span><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

Yes, that same great tradition of activism and standing up for individual workers which has been directly responsible for the deaths of some 100 million humans, and the enslavement of well over 1.5 billion more.\u00a0 Then again, having gone toe to toe with the Red Menace in the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam…er, we meant landing under fire in Bosnia…sorry, defending the Alamo with Brian Williams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seriously, here’s the juice: When your conscience is okay with the slaughter over 65 million unborn babies since 1973 in the U.S. alone, the murder of over 100,000,000 adults worldwide by an ideology espoused by your political supporters isn’t likely to bother you one bit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since we’re on the subject of the patently politically-correct, writing at White House Dossier<\/em>, Rebekah Koffler details, despite the specter of three wars posing a significant danger to America\u2019s world dominance<\/em><\/span><\/a>…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden Joint Chiefs vice chair nominee agrees on need for \u2018gender advisors<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

“President Biden continues woking up the military. Adm. Chris Grady, the nominee for vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says using a gender advisor is part of ensuring a \u201csafe and secure work environment\u201d for the military.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What about going into battle<\/span><\/em>?<\/span> Seems like that<\/span><\/em> might disrupt the notion of a safe work environment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/span>In his eight years, Obama succeeded in infiltrating all of our institutions (military, intelligence, big business, etc.), and this administration is finishing the job<\/em><\/span> in destroying them. And with the woke youth of today poised to be tomorrow\u2019s leaders, it\u2019s only going to get worse<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

…<\/span>The incompetent ideologues now running this country perceive only one enemy<\/span><\/em> \u2014 the American people<\/em><\/span>. They will roll over anytime<\/em><\/span> for Russia, China, Iran, even Lower Slobbovia.<\/span><\/span> But for them<\/span><\/em>, every<\/em><\/span> day is January 6th.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

Next, NRO<\/em>‘s Kevin Williamson relates the nature of…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American State Cult<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Williamson’s commentary is well worth the read; And while we don’t agree with everything he asserts, we’ve no doubt he’s dead-on, balls accurate with his last three paragraphs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“…The difference between a Republican who says that he is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and a Republican who says that he\u2019s going to balance the budget is that somebody might believe the first guy<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A nation that looks to its politicians<\/em><\/span> to provide spiritual nourishment needs that nourishment badly \u2014 and it is going to starve<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It is also<\/span><\/em> going to face endless political disappointment and misgovernment<\/span><\/em>. It is important to bring the right tool to the job: Bananas are great, but you can\u2019t hammer in a nail with one.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

In other news of note, NRO’s Zach Evans reports the…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Inflation Metric Grows at Fastest Pace EVER Recorded<\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not that Paul Krugman, Jen Psaki or Kommielaa should…or would<\/span><\/em>…care.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moving on, NRO’s Rich Lowry records…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Failure of \u2018Latinx<\/span><\/a>\u2019<\/span><\/h1>\n

The vast majority of Latinos dislike the term and have zero interest in being used as pawns by progressives in the culture war<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“<\/span><\/span>W<\/strong><\/span><\/span>hat<\/span>\u00a0the progressive culture elite wants<\/em><\/span>, it usually gets<\/span><\/em>. Single-sex bathrooms changing overnight to all-gender or non-gender bathrooms?<\/span>Done<\/span><\/em>. Illegal immigrants becoming known as \u201cundocumented persons\u201d?<\/span>But of course<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So when it was decided<\/span><\/em> in the precincts of fashionable opinion<\/span><\/em> that the term \u201cLatino\u201d would be retired<\/span><\/em> in favor of \u201cLatinx,\u201d one could have been forgiven for thinking that this hideous neologism would, like so much else in American life, go from a fringe cause to mainstream soon enough<\/span><\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But a funny thing happened<\/span><\/em> on the way to the Latinx ascendancy \u2014 Latinos have rejected<\/em><\/span> the term, at the same time that a big swing toward the GOP among these voters<\/span><\/em> has highlighted the perils of high-handed cultural politics<\/span><\/em> for the Democrats.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLatinx\u201d may end up being a woke experiment that failed, showing the vast gap<\/span> between<\/span><\/em> the identity-politics-obsessed progressives earnestly talking to one another in seminar rooms and on social media and the Hispanics in whose name they presume to speak<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n
