America’s progressive elites have transitioned from “Follow the Science” to “Science Is Violence.” Their senior-most judges will not define what a woman is, nor will their celebrated scholars acknowledge that only a woman can give birth. In fact, to even assert the latter, in our betters’ view, is to render one a dangerous societal menace. …What Bridges illustrated is that progressivism requires one to ignore science, our basic humanity, and what we know to be true, and subordinate it all to a secular regressive anti-faith, of which radical gender ideology has become a sacred and integral part.

Taking a Break From the Circus- Epoch Times – Conrad Black
Returning last week from Europe it was a tremendous shock to be reminded of the complete failure in every field of the Biden administration, of the inability of any authorized spokesperson for that administration to explain or justify any element of official policy, and particularly to see, all of a sudden and not after a gradual buildup through the infelicities and press baiting sessions of the Trump administration, Biden’s ill-tempered and completely inadequate explanations to the generally fawning press of his conduct.
Could Politicians in the West Persecute Their Own People?
The thirteen-minute video in this post provides insight into how totalitarian governments gain control of a nation, such as is happening in the western world. The Academy of Ideas does a better job summarizing this topic than I have been able to do via numerous posts. If you do not yet understand how it is that a country makes the transition from a republic to a totalitarian regime, then this post will help you. You will find that the process may be past the point of no return unless the masses rise up against it. Ideas may be gleaned from the video about what sorts of actions are required, that you might begin doing.

Too Much Emphasis on Rights, Not Enough on Responsibility: Zuby – Epoch Times
Rapper, author, fitness coach, and political commentator Zuby says that his faith and life experiences have equipped him to speak out against dangerous and irrational trends, such as the left advocating for personal rights without holding people responsible for their choices. “This is a message that I wish were pushed more,” Zuby said during an interview with EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders.” “I think we talk too much now in the West about rights, not enough about responsibility. And talking about rights is really important; I talk about rights a lot, but you always have to couple it with responsibility, because with every right comes a responsibility.”
Grocery Cart Inflation ‘Far Exceeding’ Official Rate, Studies Say – Epoch Times
American consumers are feeling the pain and are increasingly spending more of their income on many basic groceries, as prices “are exceeding these inflationary measures“ said the report. “The effects of high and sustained inflation are much more pernicious than unemployment in the sense that high prices affect more people,” noted Mark Hamrick, Bankrate’s Senior Economic Analyst. “The cost of basics is increasingly out of reach for many.” Inflation is costing the average American $460 more per month, according to Ryan Sweet, Senior Director of Economic Research at Moody’s Analytics.
America in Crisis – Epoch Times Commentary
In the old days, Americans relied on the Fourth of July to remind us of our ultimate unity in the principles of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This year, it is not at all obvious that this is possible. Movements are extant to cancel the day forever in favor of the 1619 narrative that this country is nothing but a big lie. One can no longer express affections for the Founding generation without fear of pushback from the woke mob.
Political Analyst Gianno Caldwell Criticizes ‘Soft-on-Crime’ Polices for Parade Mass Shooting – Epoch Times
Political analyst Gianno Caldwell, whose 18-year-old brother was killed in a shooting in Chicago last month, said the July 4 parade mass shooting is the result of “soft-on-crime” policies. “The ‘defund the police’ mantra has become like a disease that’s spreading from the inner cities to suburbs everywhere,” Caldwell told the New York Post on July 4. …Caldwell said he believes locals in Highland Park “are going to demand changes immediately.” “This is where millionaires and billionaires in Illinois live. If they can’t feel safe at a parade, the next election is going to be brutal. They’ve got to reverse these soft-on-crime policies,” Caldwell said, before adding that these policies have “enabled” individuals to carry out mass shootings.
After a Rare Victory in the Culture Wars, Conservatives Can’t Quit Fighting – Epoch Times Commentary
“It is really something to think about,” he wrote, “how the Left today, post-Dobbs, is left to feel the same things that many of us on the Right have felt over and over again: defeat on an issue that is dear to us. They are not used to losing — not our ruling class. They are used to getting their way, and expecting the rest of us to fall in line and know our places.”
