We Are Being Indoctrinated To Settle For Less By James Terminiello There are those in our society with a socialist bent who believe that the United States has been living high on the hog for far too long, and it is time for something of a downgrade. They mask their vision with high sounding words like social justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion. And they are not asking whether the majority of our citizens agree with their communal vision. They are simply pursuing their dream of reducing our population to a needy, voiceless, and pliable mass controlled by an ultrarich, tech-heavy, and permantly -in-control upper class .      Their vision is being realized in many ways.   What do New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and many of our larger cities have in common? There is an almost systematic downgrading of the quality of life. Waves of illegals (re-branded as migrants) are being planted in the heart of these communities with nothing to do and an...

  Ramaswamy - What's Not To Like? By James Terminiello I'm old enough to remember when people asked just where this upstart hick from nowhere named Bill Clinton came from. The rest is somewhat stained history. Now the seemingly petrified and calcified Republican Party might have a far better, unstained Clinton on their hands in the shape and form of one Vivek Ramaswamy. Here are just some of his bright and bold ideas: Use the military, including drones, to secure our southern border Biden has opened the illegal alien floodgates with no management plan or end game. New York City is a percolating shambles with an inept, barely verbal mayor bumbling along with his hand held out for more money to waste. Not one single Democrat has even suggested that perhaps the open border policy could, oh, I don't know, use a rest.  Drill, frack & burn coal: abandon the climate cult & unshackle nuclear energy Sorry environmentalists, the world is laughing at our costly, badly planned,...

  Barbie Movie Proves that the Wokesters Don't Have a Sense of Humor By James Terminiello I was curious about the Barbie movie phenomenon. I heard it was a hyperfeminist woke-fest but I thought it had potential as satire so I took a chance. At least it wasn't a pale sequel nor did it feature yet another steroid-infused superhero powered by some Maguffin magic crystal.  What the heck. It started well. We visit a Pee Wee Hermanesque Barbie world where all is sparkles and ultra pink wonder.  Points scored for the tech people, the lines given to the impeccable Helen Mirren, and the excellent performance by Margo Robbie as Barbie. Then thoughts of death intrude and Barbie and Ken must set forth into our hideous real world to find out why.    It is at this point that the film shifts from satire to diatribe.  While in our world, Barbie achieves a self-awareness through a series of bad experiences. Meanwhile, dimwitted Ken siphons only the negative aspects of men a...
