The Democrat Party is now a Marxist\Communist\Fascist Death Cult. They are running on everything that proves it, and people are voting for it, because the mainstream media assists and abets it and are telling them they are the good guys for thinking the same things and pushing it. It's brainwashing on a maximum, far-reaching, undeniably dangerous scale. As much as you think you hate the modern mainstream media, it isn't enough.

Due diligence is reading/perusing their (the left’s) social media and - awful as it is - MSM. They say EXACTLY the same thing about the right. Not an issue for an old fart like me but the indoctrination on young folks…it used to blow my mind but it really doesn’t anymore - Sasha’s article provides excellent lenses. The problem I see is that few will open their eyes.

as rhetoric with hyperbole, speaking to power, fine. the media suqs, of course. but Not very accurate specifically though.

btw, was waiting on Sasha to shed some light on 'Brat' Girl summer by Charli XCX and ...falling out of a coconut tree, was it?

Judging by the "outrage," feigned or otherwise, sounds like Vance struck a nerve with the harridan left. Time to acknowledge it as the distraction that it is and keep the pedal-to-the-metal focus on the disasterous record of Harris.

he didn't cause the quote is old. they dug it up so it's on them. It's a stupid thing to say but he didn't say it as a VP pick. The idea is to create illusion it's a new quote but people are so tired of cancel culture that outside of the bubble it has no impact.

you are with limited vigilance perhaps, singling out the stupidest and craziest dems to say we are all like that. If you read about a trans kid going under the knife, and their psycho or missing parents, you are talking about very small numbers. You know what is much larger numbers? (and one has no choice in the matter): Those crazy Vance red team-ers who want a bossy religion-based government telling everyone to follow their religion by law or be punished. On News-Nation the other day, it was some Oklahoman, crowing about the 10 Commandments in all the classrooms, and decrying the lack of real Bible history taught in schools (and that he would like to make further laws). history, huh? like the 2 of every animal species on a large wooden boat, and virgin birth and a tower so high God got scared that it would reach heaven through the planets and a man living in a fish and all those other stories. as history. and no abortions even for rape, incest, or to save the mother. NONE. Who is the extremist who doesn't like children? red team nuts, that's who, by a large margin.!

the issue is which small number of people- issue person is being chosen for VP, innit? Do you really think Shapiro or the Arizona astronaut, etc., is going to say 'yes, of course, pre-puberty kids have a right to demand the genital knife, without their parents knowing.' Of course not. Yet, that is by analogy, who Trump chose.

want to say one more thing about a female presidential candidate. The red team doesn't like it much, do they? did you know even conservative macho Mexico had a female pres? Taiwan. Even catholic Ireland, Israel, The Philippines, India, Germany, ... is it ALWAYS dei to suggest a female as leader? oh, that's right. the nuttiest religion/in government people would say 'of course.'

JT's avatar

It’s a huge leap (but not for Democrats) to suggest that JD was talking about women who would like to have children, but can’t. Obviously, he was talking about women who put power and control over raising families,

This is all too reminiscent of the faux flap the Left generated over Dan Quayle’s comment that the Murphy Brown TV show was promoting husbandless, fatherless homes.

It is dishonest to equate someone who would like to have a family but for physical or situational reasons can’t, with those who eschew families as impediments to their quests for power and control.

“Two days after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, 11 out of the 18 people I spoke to would’ve been happy if Donald Trump was assassinated.”

Ami Horowitz in NYC. Why do so many people feel this way? Because for the past 8 years the democrats and their media have demonized Trump as “another Hitler!” They’ve gained many supporters with this strategy but it’s been a Pyrrhic victory since it has shredded the social fabric of the country they now rule. This is obviously unsustainable. America is no longer a functional and sustainable society. This is just not working at all.

What a great piece. Vance is right and today I think it is possible that the Leftist media wall has been pierced and weakened enough for real information to flow.

Megyn is right, where the hell are you Jen when it comes to women's actual suffrage? In a way I feel bad as they haven't had the blessings of children, but then I don't as they work to destroy our foundations.

The lady of my life and I have three kids(two daughters) and you don't want to know what I would do to anyone that would harm them.

Thank you for saying this out loud. I respect your courage. I have never understood the celebratory atmosphere around the abortion issue. While women/couples may need or choose to make that decision, it’s tragic and personal, not a time to party. It’s hard, sad, traumatic and haunting. We should discuss it with the seriousness and respect for women and children’s health that is required. Instead it’s become this rally cry- like hey have one or more-no big deal- like it’s a facial or spa treatment.

It’s a sad state of affairs and not good for anyone. As a woman, and mother I’m offended by the constant casual, irresponsible reference to it.

And oh by the way, what we should be demanding is better male contraception. Share the responsibility fellas. Instead-since Roe- we now have a wide variety of male enhancement meds.

Of course Vance's comments will be used against him. He certainly would have phrased his thoughts differently in the context of a presidential campaign, but that does not change the fact that he is essentially right.

The single biggest problem facing our society today -- the underlying cause for so many of our social ills -- is the denial of the simple fact that men and women are fundamentally different and that raising children is and will be the most important and satisfying thing that most women will do in their lives.

Telling little girls that there is really no difference between boys and girls and denigrating women who would prefer to stay home and raise a family, has led to the dramatic rise in anxiety and depression of young women and contributed to the alarming rise in the number of girls who have been convinced that they are really boys.

Modern feminism is the most anti-feminine force in our culture today. It consistently tells women that their only value is measured by how well they compete against men in typically male dominated fields. Thus we have the nonsensical goals of having 30 percent of Secret Service agents be women regardless of their ability to do the job. It denigrates the extremely valuable feminine characteristics of caring and nurturing. Girls who do not wish to compete against men are denigrated as being traitors to their sex.

The ability to give birth to a new life is miraculous. A culture that treats the ability to create life as little more than a nuisance with the results of the creation of life as nothing more than a clump of cells that can be discarded on a whim is toxic.

It is not anti-woman to tell girls that having children will bring them the greatest joy in their lives. Millions of women who have denied their innate desires to become mothers and delayed having children until they find it is too late, will regret this decision for the rest of their lives.

I am the proud grandfather of beautiful baby boy and there is nothing in life that gives me greater happiness than seeing my daughter care for the new life that she brought into this world. We need to stop lying to girls by telling them that they can be just like men and tell them the truth of how wonderful being a mother can be.

No, telling them that having children is the most important thing they will ever do is the simple truth. It is not true for everybody of course. There are always exceptions. But if you ask most people what gives their life the most meaning and joy, their children and grandchildren will usually come out on top. This is especially true for women. Telling girls that success in the workforce can somehow replace the desire to have children is a lie. It is a lie that is causing deep dysfunction in our society. It is poisoning relationships between men and women and is tearing the fabric of our culture apart.

Tell children to make the most of their lives is the important thing you can tell and guide them to do. Making them feel procreating is the most important thing makes us no better than base animals.

gsharper's avatar

You can say that the desire for children results from a "base animal instinct", or you can say it's the result of evolutionary biology, or you could say it's a response to the command to "be fruitful and multiply". I'm not going to settle that argument. But the fact remains that having children is vitally important to the satisfaction and sense of meaning that people feel in life. To deny this is to deny reality. The result of this denial is unhappiness and dysfunction.

Nothing is vital to satisfaction and sense of meaning you are once mingling prime instincts with the subject matter. Having sex and procreating is a basic animal instinct.

From the looks of it we won't have a pot to piss in with her and Barry's agendas. Sound familiar. We dealt with this when he was in office for 8 miserable years!! And I sure as hell don't wanna go back to anything these two are trying to push on the nation.

I'm of mixed heritage, and I have never had a desire to even listen or look at a damned Democrat!!

Sure, having children and grandchildren to be concerned about provides more intensity to one's concern about the future, but the notion that people who do not have children are not concerned about the future is ridiculous. Some people are not concerned about the future, including some parents who don't even care about their own kids let alone anybody else's kids. Some people are very concerned about the future, and they might or might not have children of their own.

Kevin Beck's avatar

The first time I heard about "End of America" was in 2007, and the message from Porter Stansberry talked about this being the election of Barack 0bama. It has nothing to do with Trump being elected in 2016, so I am not adopting the messaging of my enemy.

From a longer historical perspective, one that aligns with my use of United States and America being separate, I look at America existing in this nation until about 1865, when the march away from federalism and toward federalization started. At that time, we devolved into the United States, where the US Government started creating more laws that aimed at reducing state sovereignty. This period lasted until about 1913, when the Federal Reserve and the income tax were installed. These actions centralized the money at Washington, DC, and the states were treated as mere appendages of a sprawling federal government.

So take your pick: 1865 or 2008. Either would fit my definition of the End of America.

I had not seen that Harris Freedom ad. How incredibly powerful. Somewhere Lenin and Hitler are gnashing their teeth that they could not create such effective propaganda. Some fifty years ago Edith Efron wrote a book entitled "The News Twisters". The people who created this new Harris ad are the grandmasters of twisting.

"They’re so afraid of a Trump presidency that they staged their own version of the Russian Revolution, skipping the war and bloodshed part."

No need to fret, Sasha. They'll turn to the bloodshed part after they win. Eagerly and with malice aforethought.
