Marching Into March

February has melted into March. Different month; same old stuff from the powers that be.

Hypocrisy continues to abound.

Democrats, and liberals of all stripes decry walls for the purpose of protecting our southern border and keeping out illegal immigrants. But have you seen pictures lately of the U.S. Capitol building? It is ringed with Pelosi’s wall, designed to keep out legal citizens who are unhappy with the state of politics.

Speaking of illegal immigrants, critics pilloried President Trump for “Kids in cages” neatly forgetting it was Barack Obama who built the cages. Now Joe Biden has opened a migrant facility for children, housing them in what look like shipping containers with bars on the windows. Kids in cages, anyone?

In Berkeley, Calif., the head of the teachers’ union, who has been very vocal about how unsafe it is for students and teachers to resume in-person instruction, was videotaped dropping off his daughter for in-person preschool. Of course he’s outraged that his hypocrisy was publicized. So predictable.

Members of the Democrats’ so-called “squad,” the catchall term for radical progressives long on rhetoric and short on intellectual depth, are throwing a hissy fit over the fact that the Senate parliamentarian noted – correctly – that including a $15 minimum wage in a reconciliation bill violated Senate rules. After bending, changing or just flat-out ignoring rules in the last national election, Democrats can be forgiven for being shocked and outraged to find rules being enforced.

When Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was mishandling his state’s COVID-19 response, including demanding infected elderly be allowed into nursing homes, with predictable results, his shortcomings were ignored and he even won an award for his press conferences. But now that Cuomo is being accused of being too hands-on with females he encounters, calls are out to have his head on a pike.

Joe Biden, who spent his presidential campaign hiding from the public and the press, continues that tactic in office, including producing no State of the Union Address. And the lamestream media, which was so quick to assault President Trump on matters real or imagined, sees nothing here worth mentioning.

God knows New Orleans and Seattle have little to be proud of when it comes to their crime/riot problems. Yet somehow New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and Seattle counterpart Jenny Durkan have prioritized the case of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, getting into a social media battle over whether or not Wilson should be enticed to come play for the New Orleans Saints.

Also on the topic of mixing politics and athletics, soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic riled LeBron James when he was quoted saying the basketball star should stick to his sport and stop being a social justice warrior. James, who embraces semi-blasphemous nicknames for himself such as “King James” and “The Chosen One,” predictably noted that his ego would not permit him to stop using his athletic celebrity to promote his political agenda.

Left-wing rioters continue to terrorize Portland, unhappy now with Joe Biden’s lack of action on their list of demands. You will see little coverage of this in the national media, and that thankfully spares us the discord of video of flaming vehicles and buildings with the “largely peaceful protests” script at the bottom of the screen.

And now yet another sign Armageddon is near. Megyn Kelly, the largely irrelevant former Fox and NBC eye candy, appeared on the typically left-leaning Bill Maher’s “Real Time” and drew applause from the studio audience when she and the host agreed leftist-run schools are going too far with their indoctrination of young children into their radical social causes.
