The following quote is a bit lengthy, but please read it through.
It is a brilliant and tragic analysis:
“The History of Japan is an unfinished drama in which three acts have been played...
“By every historical precedent, the next act will be war...”
The words above were written in 1935, six years before the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor and the beginning of World War II in the Pacific... Perhaps, by 1935, it was too late to thwart the Japanese aggression. But the point is still well made.
By our failure to study history, by our not seeking to understand a foreign and much-different people, when the “crisis” came, there was war and not peace...
...an ignorance of history is an inexcusable tragedy for a nation.
It is also what totalitarian, Leftist regimes, like the Democratic Party, want.
Karl Marx: “Keep people from their history, and they are easily controlled.”... China.
Is war between America and China inevitable?
“By every historical precedent...” America, the great world power.
China, the upstart, is seeking grander glory and self-aggrandizement.
Who stands in the way of China?
Only one nation.
The United States.
Are we going to give up our place in the world to somebody else?
No nation in history has ever voluntarily done so.
“The student group that got the Supreme Court to end affirmative action in college admissions reviews is now targeting the nation’s military academies.

EIN Presswire told Students for Fair Admissions that it would not accept the press release, citing an ‘intent to harm’ clause in its rules and restrictions.”
Disagreeeing with leftist politics is now considered “harm” by our ruling class. -Glenn Reynolds
The Biden administration has proven itself unwilling to secure the southern border. It is, however, apparently more than willing to secure Texas' northern border if that means fencing in the fallout of failed Democratic policies and sparing blue states from facing repercussions over their long-standing support of illegal immigration.
Three U.S. officials not authorized to discuss the matter recently told the Los Angeles Times that the Biden administration is considering the possibility of using geofencing to force illegal aliens to remain in Texas while awaiting asylum screening.
‘Western ideology has become the standard within the mental health field and continues to harm marginalized communities’
"Art therapy is offered through a “Western ideology” lens and needs “decolonization,” according to a recently published academic paper. Titled “Furthering the Field of Expressive Arts Therapies Through Acts of Decolonization,” the 35-page paper explores how colonialism, under the guise of “Western ideology,” not only killed “millions of Native American Indians,” but continues to negatively influence art therapy and other aspects of society... The article is Lesley University grad student Leticia Alcuran’s capstone thesis...the country must return to Native Americans and other “marginalized” communities their land and way of life. She wrote colonialism has silenced and taken this away from Native Americans and other “marginalized” groups through domination, so much so that “Western ideology has become the standard within the mental health field and continues to harm marginalized communities.”...

Filmmakers behind a new period drama set in Denmark around the 1750s were recently confronted over their film's apparent "lack of diversity." After all, now is the time when Oscar nominations hinge upon whether a given production checks various boxes pertaining to the sex, sexual preference, and race of those involved, when Snow White of Germanic folklore is Colombian and the Grecian Cleopatra of historical record is black.
Rather than apologizing for having prioritized the integrity of their art over identity politics, actor Mads Mikkelsen and Danish director Nikolaj Arcel laughed off the accusation and pointed out a critical fact worth considering.

"...DeSantis gave a speech the other day about the aftermath of a hurricane that barreled through Florida.
Concern had been expressed about looting in the wake of the disaster...
“People have a right to defend their property. This part of Florida, you got a lot of advocates and proponents of the Second Amendment, and I’ve seen signs in different people’s yards in the past after these disasters, and I would say it’s probably here – ‘You loot, we shoot.’”
