If you'd told me 5 years ago I would endorse Trump for president, I wouldn't have believed you. When I think back, a big red pill for me was seeing the graph of American wage earners next to the graph of immigration. It's basic supply and demand yet the Democrats made it a taboo: Just look at this for a minute. Consider what it means for your fellow Americans without a credential:

Hitler denaturalized and then mass murdered Jewish citizens. Trump is proposing to deport non Americans who entered the country illegally. If you think these are the same thing, you agree with Hitler much more than Trump does. You have to truly hate your fellow Americans to proudly insist that seeking to prioritize us over the rest of the world is the equivalent of mass murder. Yet this is the narrative from every liberal mainstream media outlet and the Democratic politicians they exist to promote.

Michelle Obama perfectly delivers the Democrats' pitch to the working-class men of all races they sold out, who are now struggling economically, psychologically, and spiritually: "Your only job is to celebrate your own demise, to submit to and elevate the interests of women."

It's amazing that this clip is being shared as evidence of good politicking. You couldn't ask for a better clip to explain why Trump is dominating with men: Men are being told to subordinate their pressing concerns with made up ones that help rich women LARP as "the oppressed"

"Vote Trump and you will see a mass exodus of manufacturing from China to Pennsylvania, from South Korea to North Carolina, and from Germany to Georgia." President @realDonaldTrump lays out his economic plan in an exclusive OpEd for @Newsweek:
newsweek.com/donald-trump-m… "My industrial policy is one piece of an economic vision for revitalizing this country for the hardest working Americans. It will join my tax cuts and my proposal to ban all taxes on overtime hours, tips for service workers, and Social Security benefits for our great seniors."

If Harris were being honest, her campaign slogan wouldn’t be “Kamala Harris—for the people.” It would be, “Let them eat the joy of the rich and powerful.” That’s all that’s on offer. My write up of the DNC for @AmerCompass: Who is Kamala Harris? What does she plan to do as president? There was gaslighting aplenty as we were reintroduced to a woman we all know, as if she were a blank slate available for projection. Michelle Obama' speech was especially notable on this front:

It's nice to see bipartisan support for Jews but this congressional bill to expand the definition of antisemitism is bad for the U.S. and bad for Jews. This country was literally founded on the idea that there should be no government reprisals for speech, including hate speech. Add to that the fact that the IHRA definition of antisemitism is awful—vague, overly broad, and reliant on examples. It's useless. Universities already have laws protecting Jewish students from discrimination. They didn't enforce them, and they are going to pay for that in court.

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.
amazon.com/Second-Class-B… 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.

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!"

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.

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 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.

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.

The definition of woke: The reracialization of American life that suggests that people who were historically oppressed are today victims. It's imposing a power differential onto a physical attribute—race, gender, sexuality—then suggesting it's fixed in stone and must be reversed. Are we guilty of culturally appropriating a word that used to refer to state sponsored violence against Blacks? Yes. But sociologists needed a word to describe the shift in 2015 when white progressives got more extreme in how they spoke about race than Blacks and Hispanics.

Pretending that sharing public information is the same as doxxing is exactly the kind of rebranding, doublethink, and safetyism to protect private interests and dismiss valid criticism that is the Left's bread and butter. It's absolutely wild to see the Right fall for this. What's the opposite of a red pill?

Too bad Keaira Bennefield wasn't rich, white & married to Dem royalty or her assailant might have been held w/out bail for trying to kill her like David DePape was. Instead her ex was immediately freed to go kill her. My latest on this sickening hypocrisy:
mol.im/a/11387471 Democrats have an opportunity after the horrific attack on Paul Pelosi for some soul searching, having exercised that muscle one uses to feel for the victims of horrific acts of violence—long-atrophied on the Left. Let's hope they use it for their voters.

My God, just when you think they can't go lower: A bodega owner who defended himself from an ex-con is in Rikers on $250K bail. It's not enough to let career criminals loose—if you don't submit to their attacks, YOU will go to jail. The absolute depravity.
nypost.com/2022/07/06/nyc… "Get caught with an illegal gun, get released without bail. Shove an elderly person to the ground, attack someone because they are Asian, a slap on the wrist. But defend yourself and your business from a man who attacks you, and Bragg sends you to Rikers."

The New York Times spent thousands and thousands of words and dollars to uncover the truth about Tucker Carlson: that he uses his platform to talk about the class divide and immigration depressing working class wages, views any Democrat would have proudly endorsed 15 years ago. But if you're part of the ruling class like the NYT, you don't want anyone exposing the vast chasm separating you from the people you pretend to represent. So having uncovered that Tucker talks endlessly about the class divide, they color caring about inequality as "racism."

Left & Right wing journos squabbling over Elon Musk buying Twitter like it's a fight about free speech. It's not. It's about the control the Chinese government will now have over American political discourse through a compliant stooge who somehow convinced people he's a renegade. I am very against the silencing and deplatforming of conservatives on Twitter. It's anti-democratic as we saw with the Hunter laptop story. But we need to have that fight for our democracy and for free speech. Instead someone who tweeted "China rocks!" now owns the platform.

I wrote about why the Washington Post's exposé of @libsoftiktok hid what's in the videos @libsoftiktok aggregates. It's part of a larger trend of conflating controversial trans debates with gay rights writ large, over which Americans are no longer divided.
realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/… @libsoftiktok "A tiny elite that benefits politically and economically from portraying its opponents as bigots is using every tool at its disposal to obfuscate the vast distance between their views and the majority of middle- and working-class Americans."
realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/…

Musk's free speech absolutism is a sham. He's fired people for trying to unionize, for disagreeing with him and for reporting harassment. And he's been a huge cheerleader for China. Stop thinking this manchild desperate to be popular is going to save you.
spiked-online.com/2022/04/06/elo… Both sides have this totally wrong. Left-wing journalists melting down over Twitter potentially censoring conservatives less are obviously just a punch line. But the Right ecstatic at the takeover of a billionaire cheerleader for the Chinese Communist Party are not much better.

"A 15-point peace plan, which Ukrainian & Russian negotiators discussed for the first time on Monday, would involve Kyiv renouncing ambitions to join NATO and promising not to host foreign military bases or weaponry in exchange for protection from allies."
ft.com/content/7b341e… "Putin said on Tuesday that Russia would 'partially pull back troops' near Ukraine and was seeking a 'diplomatic path' to resolving a standoff with the West. Biden welcomed further negotiations but warned that a Russian invasion remains a possibility."
