Axios — one of dozens of interchangeable, far-Left, statist Internet “news” sites — on Aug. 20 asked several White House aids, (anonymously, of course), why they stay in the service of Donald Trump.
The hysterical Left (“Russian! He attended the same party as a Russian!”) may have missed it, but America didn’t just start its glacial shift away from the bizarre agenda of the Democrat Party and the Mainstream Media with the election of Donald Trump.
(Brunette again.) With recent LGBT Pride Day celebrations fading from the headlines, especially since posting my last piece, I’ve found myself thinking about various stories I’ve read over the past year or two, particularly accounts of gay men coming out as conservative: They say — and I have no trouble believing them — that it’s harder than coming out as gay was. Their former friends and often family members tend to be liberal, as the liberals see themselves as defenders of LGBT people. But is that really true?
(Brunette here.) Tyranny heralds its arrival first through confiscation of speech — via Orwellian inversion of language, and/or suppression of undesirable voices ‘by any means necessary,’ whether subtle or brutal or BOTH. If you want to determine who the aspiring tyrants are in a given society, and who they intend to oppress, look around to see A) Who’s being told to shut up, (take note of what they’re trying to talk about!) and B) The ones telling them to shut up (take note of what speech they object to.) That’s why the first amendment precedes the second, no?
Brunette here again. Guess I’m in an uncharacteristically chatty mood lately . . . not to worry, Vin will be back. And I’ll revert to my usual quieter self sooner or later. 😉
(Brunette again.) The fog of war — largely an information war — will eventually clear. We’ve been in the thick of it for some time now. The long dominant left-leaning media has everyone’s heads spinning with more Russia hysteria, spurious rumors based on anonymous sources, breathless speculations about who’s in or out (or at each other’s throats) in the White House, and stern clucking over Trump’s “Fake News!” tweets, or his latest “typo.” Covfefe was downright hilarious. 🙂
