Ok, Democrats: It's been a couple of days since 2 Congresswomen shared a cartoon by a notorious anti-Semite. Will a single one of you stand up for your Jewish constituents and the non-Jewish ones who abhor hate? Or is the new standard if Trump attacks you you're beyond reproach?
A U.S. elected official sharing the work of Mondoweiss. You just hate to see it. Will any Democrats call this out or nah?
Man, people out here saying this particular cartoon isn't anti-Semitic (it is) -- so you would have shared it yourself? Of course you wouldn't. You didn't. So elected officials now are held to a lower standard? GTFO with that. They have Jewish constituents!
The blatant disregard for the well-being of American Jews, and the defense of that disregard as a moral virtue, is not something I thought I would see in my lifetime. It's really hard to accept that it's happening.

I am so thrilled to share that you can now pre-order my new book, "Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women," which comes out on April 2. I cannot wait for you to meet the incredible Americans who shared their stories with me.

I am so unbelievably grateful to @rogerkimball and the whole team @EncounterBooks for continuing to believe in me and my work. And I am so deeply humbled by the trust that was given to me by the working-class men and women featured in the book.
"In Second Class, working-class Americans of all races, political orientations, and occupations share their stories—cleaning ladies, health care aides, cops, truck drivers, fast food workers, electricians, and more. In their own words, these working-class Americans explain the struggles and triumphs of their increasingly precarious lives—as well as what policies they think would improve them."

The problem with elite universities goes so much deeper than denying Jewish and white students safetyism. The Ivies represent the elite's belief that they should have absolute rule over the masses, who they have just endless contempt for. And that's how Trump was banned in CO:
Elite universities aren't institutions of learning but sites for reproducing status, elite belonging. These people truly believe they deserve to rule over average folks. Hence the Orwellian "We must protect the people from voting for their chosen candidate—to defend democracy!"
How can people say with a straight face they are defending democracy by barring the most popular candidate? The class divide in the US which apportioned over 50% of GDP to the credentialed elite convinced them they deserve to hoard not just the American Dream but the franchise.

It's actually bad to have the leadership of higher education be subject to the whims of a billionaire—even a billionaire you agree with. It is no defense of the rotting American university system to believe that this is not the way you fix it. Those billionaires got us here!
The university system is deeply corrupt. It's not really antisemitism we're seeing but anti-Americanism. It's a big mistake for Jews to insist that "No, we belong with the oppressed!" We belong with those fighting for this great nation—with all the others hated by the woke elite.
As long as universities were self-contained fiefdoms where people awarded each other credentials and plaudits, their corruption didn't matter too much. But you now need a college degree to have a shot at the American Dream. For such a corrupt system to be the determining factor in who gets a middle class life is unaccaptable.

Nearly every legacy media outlet in the country eagerly swallowed a blood libel peddled by baby mutilating butchers just weeks after they committed a massacre because it allowed these "journalists" to recast Jews as the perpetrators instead of the victims. Just let that sink in.
Why was our journalist caste desperate to believe the lies of mass murderers, rapists, baby mutilators, and child torturers? Most US journalists studied at elite universities where wokeness—less power=more virtue—is the reigning paradigm, then brought it to the newsroom with them
It's the same illness infecting college students chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and activists occupying the Capitol and Congresswomen demanding a ceasefire. In college, they teach them there's no right vs. wrong, there's only powerful vs. powerless.

It's much harder to call people racists for opposing an influx of millions of migrants when you are also trying to get rid of them, so the Biden admin came up with a genius solution for his fellow Dems: force his political opponents to keep the migrants. Shockingly cynical stuff.
Nothing puts the lie to the hypocrisy of progressive preening quite like the topic of immigration. "Immigrants are welcome to our sanctuary city" right until they actually show up, it seems. So much of progressive politics is misunderstanding economic privilege for noble virtue.
Instead of doing his job as president and securing our southern border, Biden seems to have decided to secure the border between Texas and the rest of the US to protect his allies from the consequences of his open border policy. Keep the border open—and keep the migrants in Texas

First they shipped the jobs overseas, then they opened the border to mass immigration, now they sue companies that try to hire Americans. They have dropped all pretenses and are now literally suing companies for the crime of prioritizing American workers. Just let that sink in.
The mission creep of the civil rights movement to cover people who aren't citizens is how elites wage class warfare, pimping out the valor of the civil rights struggle that sought equality for all Americans to import cheap labor and bolster their economic and political privilege.
It's just utterly, utterly outrageous that Biden's DOJ is penalizing an American company for prioritizing hiring AMERICANS. But it's also so telling that they don't even realize they should be ashamed to do this. They have no clue how disgusting this is. That's how deep it goes.
