To any sane person, it appears our
elites and their media sycophants are engaging in an unprecedented preposterous
statement tournament. They must get up every day, snicker once or twice, and
try to think of the most ridiculous, least verifiable piece of preposterous
prevarication they can attempt to pass off as truth. And why shouldn’t they, a
significant percentage of Americans seem willing to believe anything at all.
So President Biden says there are
no Americans trapped in Kabul. Alright, now tell us the one about the three
bears. His Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, says we need to get the military out of
Afghanistan first, so we don’t risk anyone getting hurt. Yes, forget about the
thousands of American civilians trapped in Kabul. Ignore the pictures of mothers
throwing their babies over fences. Um, Jen, we send our troops to places
specifically to confront danger and instability…and often to fight the bad
guys. That’s why, unlike civilians, they are armed to the teeth and wear
body armor. That’s why they have attack helicopters, A-10 Warthogs, missiles,
rocket launchers, grenades, and submachine guns. Or used to, before the Biden
administration decided to donate
them to the Taliban. But we are told we can trust the Taliban, that its
members are turning over a new leaf. (Perhaps moving from the 14th Century to
the 15th Century?)
We are told the vaccines work
wonderfully and are totally safe. And then told we need to start wearing masks
again. And that hospitals are filling up again. And that we need a
“booster” shot. We are virtually assured the coronavirus didn’t come from a
laboratory in Wuhan. Until we were told that it might
very well have come from a laboratory in Wuhan. But, Biden says, the
Chinese are Hunter’s our friends., and that Iran, too, poses no serious
threat.
Then the Los Angeles Times trots
out a headline averring: “Larry Elder is the Black
face of white supremacy. You’ve been warned.” Gee, Times, thanks for the
tip. Does it make sense, though, that a Black man is the spokesperson for white
supremacy? Apparently, this is not your grandfather’s white supremacy movement.
(Were there many Black Imperial Wizards in the Ku Klux Klan?) I mean, did the
rank and file not notice their precious white supremacy organization was
filling up with Black folks? If they did and didn’t care, and if they like
Larry Elder, they really aren’t particularly racist, are they?
Have they just not been paying attention, or have they gone soft? Or maybe
there isn’t that big of a problem here and everyone can just settle down and go
home.
What can be said with certainty is
that “The Los Angeles Times is the type face of media idiocy.”
It has been said over the decades
that Americans have lost their innocence, that we are terribly jaded and
cynical. The past few years have proved that this, too, is incorrect. A
disheartening number of Americans have bought the lies of the government and media
that despises them:
*”Trump colluded with Russia!”
*“The 2020 election was the fairest
of them all”
*”Kamala Harris will be a great
Vice-President.”
*”Hunter is the smartest
guy I know.”
*”It’s all Trump’s fault.”
The United States was founded on a
healthy-- and historically deeply warranted-- distrust of government. Today, the
only thing many Americans are skeptical about is the truth.
Past this point, no free republic,
indeed no viable society, can long continue.
