The way we were-----Back in 1972

"Television commercials from way back in the early 1970s. I wasn't even thought of back then, and my parents, both of whom are now in their mid 70s, were in their early 20s back then! So hard to picture them so young. Enjoy this really old, retro classic tv ad film 1972. United Airlines.

An ungovernable nation - Don Surber

• We need a divorce — from Washington.

"Reader John McCall, who writes John’s Substack, left an excellent comment yesterday.

He said, “Has it escaped anybody’s attention that this nation is ungovernable? A columnist, yesterday or so, wrote the first of a series on how to fix things. His first post made a cogent case for elimination of Civil Service so that unelected bureaucrats would be much less able to make policy according to their own agenda, rather than carry out the policies agreed to by elected officials.

“Anybody want to lay money on achieving THAT? There is a better chance of scorched earth in Gaza. The Uniparty is busy with destruction of this nation for the rest of us in order to gain it for themselves (and buy time to accomplish such by throwing the rest of us minimal scraps)...

The Mental Illness of Trump Hate Continues

The Mental Illness of Trump Hate Continues - BY LIBERTY PAIGE

"TDS, or Trump Derangement Syndrome, is still alive and well in America. Democrats can’t seem to give it up. 

They have sold their souls to get rid of Donald Trump – committed crimes, rigged elections, indicted him, put MAGA supporters in in jail, etc. 

There are no limits to what they will do in the name of TDS.

• Some have even made it into a lucrative business like the Lincoln Project does. 
• Others also seem to have Trump on the brain 24/7 like washed up actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner who can’t go a single day without posting something about Trump on X.
• There’s also fake Republican Michael Steele who was at one time the leader of the Republican National Committee (RNC) but in October of 2020 endorsed Joe Biden for President. Now he’s a political analyst for MSNBC. Big shocker...

Horowitz: How we turned our universities into Hamas cheerleaders - TheBlaze

Horowitz: How we turned our universities into Hamas cheerleaders - TheBlaze: 

How did nearly every major college campus turn into the Third Reich overnight, with large gatherings of belligerent rally-goers chanting genocidal slogans against Jews? It didn’t happen overnight. Over a generation, we’ve imported the Muslim world to our college campuses. Not surprisingly, we also imported some of the slogans, chants, and values undergirding it.

Is this what we really need for our civilization?

"Judge Chutkan says Trump “does not have the right to say and do exactly what he pleases.” 

Well if this is still America, he definitely has the right to say “BIDEN CHEATED” if he wants to. 

It’s called the 1st Amendment, and it still stands. 

Trump believes he was cheated in 2020. 

Most of us believe that now. 

ANYBODY WHO’S LIVED THROUGH 3 YEARS OF JOE BIDEN SHOULD BELIEVE THAT. 

The fact that they won’t let us question the election that gave us the worst president in history, proves we’re right. 

And also a fact: Trying to silence a presidential candidate during an election year is also “CHEATING.” No “judge” has the power to cancel out first Amendment rights, and this asshole should be recused for judicial overreach. America First and always.

Ex-gubernatorial candidate sentenced to 2 months behind bars for Capitol riot role | WOODTV.com

"WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge on Tuesday sentenced a former Republican candidate for Michigan governor to two months behind bars for joining a mob’s Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, where he riled up other rioters and ripped a tarp outside the building...
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper told Kelley that he misused his platform as a candidate for public office by promoting lies about election fraud, including the baseless claim that Jan. 6 was somehow part of an FBI plot.
“A lot of folks voted for you. A lot of folks followed you,” Cooper said before sentencing Kelley to 60 days of imprisonment and ordering him to pay a $5,000 fine...

ANOTHER genocide in Middle East probably didn't know about - TheBlaze: 

While the horrors committed by Hamas in Israel are tragic, there’s yet another genocide occuring under our noses.

In Azerbaijan, there’s a liquidation going on of the Armenian people. They happen to make up the first Christian nation on earth.

Michael Smith - Israel is surrounded by Arab countries. There are... | Facebook

• "Israel is surrounded by Arab countries. 

There are 55 predominantly Muslim nations around the world.

Yet there is one, single, solitary Jewish state.

That's it. In the entire world, there is only one. 

Israel is the Highlander of nations.

• I was in Gaza before and after Israel turned it over to the PLO. The Israelis left everything intact. Houses, businesses, massive greenhouses. 
• When I was there about a year after, the greenhouses were destroyed, the businesses were empty and many of the houses looked like they were a century older than they were.
• The "Palestinians" descended on Gaza like a swarm of locusts, consuming what was easy to consume and destroying the rest.
• They don't want a two state solution, they just want Israel gone.

Our Public Schools Are a National Disaster

Our Public Schools Are a National Disaster - STEPHEN MOORE

"Perhaps what’s most distressing about the latest collapse in high school test scores is that no one seems to be very distressed.

• You’ve probably heard the news that ACT scores have fallen for the sixth straight year. 

Our high school kids are less equipped for a job or college than at any time in three decades.
Why isn’t anyone in Washington or anyone in our $800 billion education bureaucracy sounding the alarm and declaring this a national emergency?...

When the Misinformation Comes From Inside the House | The Free Press - By Bari Weiss and Oliver Wiseman

• The New York Times changes its story. (Photo illustration by The Free Press)

"Scores of Palestinians are dead after a blast late yesterday at a hospital in Gaza, a horrific tragedy.

• Hamas immediately blamed Israel. 
• And then so did the paper of record.

Very soon after the incident, The New York Times published a story with the headline “Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say” and sent it out as a breaking news notification. 

They did so relying on Hamas’s word on the matter...

Bill Maher spills the beans on liberals backing the Palestinian cause: 'These are the values that you support?' - TheBlaze

Bill Maher spills the beans on liberals backing the Palestinian cause: 'These are the values that you support?' - TheBlaze: 

"I think the Israelis have always had the moral high ground; I think they still do," Maher declared.

Then, listing the values that liberals allegedly support but that are not part of Palestinian culture, Maher tore into the "American left" for "throwing their lot in" with the Palestinians, who elected Hamas into power nearly two decades ago.

"Religious tolerance: That doesn't exist in Gaza. You're either a Muslim or an infidel, and you better be a Muslim," Maher said. "Female freedom, free and fair elections, free speech, gay rights — I see these ‘Queers for Palestine.'"
