B-Man Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 The Great Awakening. SALENA ZITO The half-circle of 13 chairs that framed the statue of President Harry Truman in the heart of the historic Independence Square this past fall was placed there in the days after 13 American soldiers were killed in the attack on the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, in late August. The flags on either side of Truman flew at half-mast, with the chairs bearing the names of each service member lost in that attack. All hailed from small-town corners of our country. Their average age was 22. Eleven were Marines, one was a member of the Army, one a Navy medic. . . . The loss of these brave service members marked the beginning of an awakening. Many people stepped outside the comfort of their political beliefs and began to question everything coming out of the government. Few national journalists noticed it at its inception because few national journalists leave their desks or disconnect from Twitter long enough to listen to people outside of their bubble. Had they listened, they would have heard the questions and the doubts. The more Joe Biden’s White House stubbornly and willfully refused to answer questions and insisted it had acted rightly, the more distrust in government grew. The images of Biden walking away, his back to the press and metaphorically to the people, in the days and weeks after the pullout projected arrogance and negligence. When he repeated that exit, it only served to hasten the awakening. Soon, the questions about Afghanistan became questions about how the government was handling the pandemic — in particular the mandates, masking, and the treatment of our children. Many people had been afraid to make their complaints public — they saw how lives and livelihoods could be destroyed if you questioned the motives of the government or teachers unions. Across the political spectrum, people who had been struggling so hard to keep their businesses open and their children in school or who dared to question the usage of masks or the authority of the government were called racists, fascists, grandma-killers, insurrectionists, and white supremacists. Never mind that most of them had done all of the right things. They stayed home at the beginning, washed their cardboard Amazon boxes before they opened them, refrained from hugging their parents and children and grandchildren, lost jobs, lost friends, lost family members, got boosted, saw their children flail emotionally and academically. They watched crime escalate in their cities and suburbs. They watched depression and suicide affect their loved ones and fentanyl flood their nice neighborhoods and communities. They watched their cities turn into ghost towns and their grocery and energy bills diminish their wealth. No one in the press really picked up on this movement. They see everything as either Republican or Democratic. This awakening is not so easily characterized. It is an inside-outside movement reacting to a government that chose to play politics with the virus and continue a long-standing partisan battle. This week, it finally became acceptable among the insider set to say that the pandemic is over. But this abrupt change is part of an apparently coordinated effort to save a political tribe; as such, it does not pass the smell test for most people.

T master Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 It was amazing how so many people could have so much hate for 1 man when prior to that every one that was ever around him wanted to be his buddy wanted to have a picture taken with him or just rub elbows with him then he got elected & he was the biggest A hole ever but he really hadn't changed . He has always went against the grain and i believe that was a huge reason why he was so hated by the old guard in DC because he through practical experience learned from his mistakes how to run a business which if the US isn't a business i don't know what it is . The old guard though had their wheels in motion with all of their agenda's on both sides and here came a guy that they feared would blow it all up & show a new & different way of doing things cutting his own path instead of following the yellow brick road & he did in a lot of ways that's why gas went down & our energy independence was as it was while he was in office but it didn't take long o turn that back around . It still amazes me that there are those that see today as better than it was not so long ago all because of there hate it's actually pretty scary to think that with even seeing the difference they think it's better & still stick to their guns but it is good to see a awakening in some that can actually see the forest for the trees unlike some .

B-Man Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 MEGHAN MURPHY: Why I left the left. I wanted the left to change. That’s why I stuck around for so long. I wanted to be a voice of dissent in the movement and to push for something better. I warned that this kind of censorious, cowardly silencing and refusal to have any critical debate about ideas would lead to the left’s failure. But progressives only doubled down – clinging ever-more tightly to ideologies and mantras that are irrational and regressive, and censoring anyone who dared challenge them. The left, seemingly along with most feminists, has now decided it no longer knows what a woman is, and that anyone who claims to know must be silenced. At a certain point, we have to stop pretending this is just about a few bad apples. We have to stop hanging on, imagining this group will come around. It is time to deal with reality, not wishful thinking: this is the left now, whether we like it or not. https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/06/08/why-i-left-the-left/
