As they pull up the boarding ladders behind them on their Gulfstream G700's, the wealthy global elites continue to lecture us on education, gender, race, politics, automobiles, and the climate.
Yes, it really is a 'Top-Down' revolution. And, "sometimes they war between themselves."
[Breitbart] Hollywood star Morgan Freeman has reiterated his antipathy for Black History Month as well as the term "African-American," saying in a new interview that he finds both concepts to be insulting.
Freeman explained to London’s The Sunday Times why he finds both terms repugnant.
"Two things I can say publicly that I do not like. Black History Month is an insult. You’re going to relegate my history to a month?" he reportedly said, before adding:
"Also ’African-American’ is an insult. I don’t subscribe to that title. Black people have had different titles all the way back to the n-word and I do not know how these things get such a grip, but everyone uses ’African-American’. What does it really mean?"
He added: "Most black people in this part of the world are mongrels. And you say Africa as if it’s a country when it’s a continent, like Europe."
This isn’t the first time the Oscar-winning Million Dollar Baby star has spoken out against Black History Month. In a perennially-viral 2005 interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, Freeman told correspondent Mike Wallace, "I don’t want a Black History Month."
When asked by Wallace "how are we going to get rid of racism," Freeman replied: "Stop talking about it."

"Stop talking about it." That point where Freeman gives away the game, cuz that's all we hear 24/7. He's saying to toss the narrative in the trash. Hate to break it to you Morgan... welcome to the club of "The Others".

[BEE] DALLAS, TX — In a horrific tragedy, the Postal Service was unable to deliver an abortion pill in time and now an adorable baby has been born.
"It's sickening. Just look at this beautiful, sweet baby. " said delivery nurse Amy Schneider. "All of this cuteness, this amazing new life, could so easily have been avoided with one little pill. Why, God??"
According to doctors, not taking an abortion pill has been directly linked to cuddly babies being born alive. "Taking an abortion pill destroys a baby's blood supply, ensuring no one experiences the calamity of seeing their wonderful, squishy faces," said Dr. Rhonda Miller. "If only this baby's mother could have taken that pill, she wouldn't be suffering through looking into the precious eyes of her daughter. It's almost enough to make me cry."
Abortion advocates vowed to ensure that such a terrible misery would never again be visited upon another woman. "The worst part is knowing that we could have stopped this innocent, lovely baby from ever drawing breath - and we didn't do it," said Planned Parenthood executive Donna Marks. "A rosy-cheeked, newborn girl's face is something no mother should ever have to see."
At publishing time, the neonatologist had arrived to mourn with the mother as she started the most meaningful of all human experiences.
Hey!
Remember Seattle?
[FoxNews] Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson warned against vilifying youth while condemning a chaotic "Teen Takeover" of the Loop over the weekend, which saw hundreds of young people descend on the downtown area for two nights in a row.
Two teenage males, ages 16 and 17, were shot while standing in a crowd during the mayhem on Saturday night, as hundreds of young people smashed cars, blocked traffic, and fought in the streets. Both victims were transported to a hospital and listed in fair condition, according to Fox 32 Chicago.
Chicago police arrested nine adults and six juveniles in connection with the takeover, which was advertised on social media. A 16-year-old male was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, while two other suspects were charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. Most of the other arrests were for reckless conduct.

Still think NASCAR is going to need kevlar body panels and lexan for thewindshield to keep the drivers from getting shot during the street race later this year. Seriously doubt anybody has considered staking out all the high spots to prevent sniper style action. Taking out a driver would give some serious street cred.
[Western Journal] Maybe Bud Light’s executives can take a lesson: Truth in advertising can pay off big, if you have a truth worth selling.
As Anheuser-Busch and its international ownership continue to deal with the fallout from a disastrous decision to bring woke politics into its Bud Light marketing campaigns, an American-owned competitor is capitalizing in a way that’s as simple as it is effective.
And for the nation’s oldest brewery, there’s already one big return on investment.
D.G. Yuengling and Son, based in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, was a largely local beer for most of the years between now and 1829, when it was founded as Eagle Brewery. But it started its expansion from the mountainous east-central part of the Keystone State into the Philadelphia area in the late 1980s and has been spreading since.
The secret to that success is straightforward, the company wrote in a Twitter post published Saturday that has rocketed around social media.
“Yuengling. The Oldest Brewery In America,” the post stated. “Independently Owned and Family Operated since 1829 because we make good beer.” There’s no talk of dredging up wannabe drag queens and posting their simpering faces where they have no place being. Nothing to do with “equity.”
Just the one thing Americans who like beer are looking for: good beer.
Bud Light, a company that built its consumer base on blue-collar America outed itself. It’s being denounced by entertainers like Kid Rock and Riley Green, been boycotted in conservative regions and, most importantly, lost $5 billlion in market value when the Mulvaney gambit blew up.

Not exactly apolitical, though historically they just liked American presidents. From 2019:
Yuengling has a thing for presidents (especially Trump).
In 1933, Yuengling celebrated the end of Prohibition by shipping a truckload of “Winner Beer” beer to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 2010, Barack Obama claimed Yuengling was his favorite beer. He even included it in a political exchange with Canada.
In 2016, Dick Yuengling endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Chaos ensued.
In 2018, Yuengling hosted Eric Trump on a media-accompanied tour of the brewery. On the tour, he allegedly said to Eric Trump, “Our guys are behind your father. We need him in there.” Yikes.
It has been boycotted multiple times.
After word got out about Yuengling’s support of the Trump campaign, many Yuengling drinkers boycotted the brand, including Pennsylvania state representative Brian Sims.
Sims called out Trump’s “anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-racial minority and anti-equality agenda” in a Facebook post, saying: “I’m not normally one to call for boycotts but I absolutely believe that how we spend our dollars is a reflection of our votes and our values! … Goodbye Yuengling and shame on you. Sincerely, A former customer of 17 years!”
(Yuengling’s response? “[W]e survived Prohibition. We survived two world wars, when you couldn’t get any grain. We’ll be fine,” Dick Yuengling said in 2017.)
Another, unrelated boycott occurred in 2006, when a separate scandal alleged Yuengling was a union buster.
[Gateway] Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on MSNBC’s Politics Nation to discuss racist roads with host Al Sharpton.
Buttigieg told Al Sharpton that traffic fatalities happen because of racism and discrimination.
"We’ve got a crisis when it comes to roadway fatalities in America," Buttigieg said. "We lose about 40,000 people every year. It’s a level that is comparable to gun violence — and we see a lot of racial disparities. Black and brown Americans and tribal citizens and rural residents are much more likely to lose their lives..."
Buttigieg continued, "There are a lot of reason related to discrimination....even related to the way the roads are designed and who has access to a safe street design that’s got crosswalks and good lighting."
When a grifter suddenly realizes that his 'mark' is, in reality, an empty shell.

Todays commentary in part from Kunstler is a perfect comment:
You might be among those who have noticed that the people in authority in our country appear increasingly insane. It ought to be self-evident that this is deeply disturbing, but I will explain anyway to allay any residual mystification. In a sane human society, authority is granted to those who are trustworthy. People earn trust by demonstrating their allegiance to reality. Things generally work better when the people running them maintain cordial relations with reality. Now, you understand why so many things don’t work in the USA."
[Bee] Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein has announced she will be temporarily stepping away from her seat on the Judiciary Committee to head toward a warm, bright light that seems to be beckoning her.
"I can't help it, it's so beautiful," said the 438-year-old Senator, known affectionately by colleagues as the "Crone of the Senate." "There's a feeling of warm, calming peace in this glowing orb at the end of this tunnel that just appeared in front of my eyes just now. I must see what lies at the end of it."
Feinstein, who entered the United States Senate over a century before the founding of the United States, then stepped away from her seat in the committee room, walked slowly out of the Capitol Building, and strode serenely toward an unseen light.
At publishing time it had been reported that half of Congress was following her.

[American Greatness] Abba Eban was a key member of Israel’s government for more than a quarter century—from 1948 to 1974. In Israel’s first decade, he served for nine years as its U.S. ambassador in Washington and simultaneously as its U.N. ambassador in New York. Then he was education minister for three years; after that, deputy prime minister for three years; and finally, foreign minister for eight years. In 2002, his obituary in the New York Times ran 2,800 words, saying that he:
[sent] his supremely cultured voice using the King’s English into forensic combat. His orations, fierce in their defense of his country, were also marked by rich appeals to history, soaring visions of a peaceful Middle East and withering scorn for Israel’s enemies.
Eban’s speeches were a record of eloquence unequaled by any diplomat during that period. Conor Cruise O’Brien, representing Ireland in the U.N. (sitting next to Eban in the General Assembly), called him "the most brilliant diplomatist of the second half of the 20th century."
In 1974, however, Yitzhak Rabin left Eban out of his new Israeli government, and Eban never again held a ministerial job. By 1988, he was so low on the Labor Party electoral slate that he was not reelected to the Knesset. Humiliated, he retired from political life, relocated to New York, and spent the rest of his life teaching, writing, and speaking.
Eban’s meteoric rise and dramatic fall was a classic tragedy—and one that extended beyond his personal political career. It holds a lesson for today.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
