What we need is some bloody common sense which is pretty damn scarce these days.

Imagine this: A cultured woman is at an event that draws persons from all over the globe. She spots a black woman in some form of ceremonial dress -- clearly African -- that she does not recognize.

What does she do?

She asks the black woman in the African dress, "Where are you from?"

It is perfectly innocent and understandable.

The persons who need a throat punch are those who allowed this woman to be sacrificed on the altar of wokeness. Her utterance was not remotely racist. It was curious.

Curiosity is not racist.

We need to stop feeding the false narrative.

Was there cheating on an institutional level in the 2020 Presidential election?

Well, yes, there was. The FBI, the media, and social media conspired -- along with 50 morons who used to run the IC (intelligence community) -- knew that the Hunter Biden laptop was devastating to Joe Biden's presidential election efforts and they lied about it.

The damn FBI sat on that laptop for more than two years knowing from the very beginning it was damning. To this day, they are sitting on it.

Why did they do this? Why did those 50 IC members lie? To steal the election from its rightful victor.

Tell me how I am wrong.

Let's use some common sense and stop feeding the woke craziness.

Mr. Zuberi is under the mistaken belief that Mr. Musk needs money for Twitter to survive. Yes, Twitter should make a profit but if it doesn't Mr. Musk will either a) write a check or b) kill it, and laugh when Mr. Zuberi points and says, "see, it didn't survive!"

Multi-billionaires play a very different game compared to us ordinary folk.

America was a misogynistic, racist country in the past; every country was. We are far less misogynistic and racist today than we've ever been. We should quietly celebrate that and then continue to work to perfect our republic. Instead, a significant number of people wish to destroy the republic and substitute, well, something. That something will be more misogynistic and racist than what we have today, though we will be force-fed yet another lie.

Whilst agreeing more with you than you do with yourself, the practical side of me must point out that the pursuit of perfection in the public square is a fools' errand and not achievable.

We must pursue fairness and adequately punish those who fail to conform to our laws. We must follow the facts where they lead us even if it is to a corrupt President and a criminal enterprise that is the Biden family or FTX with its political corruption.

Most of the great things done in the world are 80% correct and done on time.

The headly ordeal is sick. She was dressed in African clothing for heaven's sake. Lady Susan was just trying to be polite. Given the circumstances, it's racist to accuse Lady Susan of anything racist.

This is what these race baiters always miss -- just how racist they are.

I will blog about this. My kids went there. Parents make a choice to go there. Up to the parents to hold the school accountable if they want to.

It's impossible to avoid the issues even if it is possible to minimize them. A main problem is one of teacher supply. Ed schools are notoriously low on rigor and high in group think. So all the new teachers are just steeped in all the critical theory garbage even if they are good teachers otherwise.

You know who sees through a lot of the BS - many of the kids, even those at a place like Parker. They see how words are manipulated and can tell you how to use them as weapons. Sometimes their eyes even appear to roll over to the back of their heads.

Martin Geddes’ take, as viewed from the UK, is a worthwhile read, as well::

These people need a mirror. I’m astonished they can’t see how upset they’d be if the situation was flipped. Shows a lack of cognitive capability. But after all, “the ends justify the means” right?

-->"It is high time we bring back the concept of innocent until proven guilty. Someday, the mainstream media might rediscover what the concept actually means and apply it evenly. In the meantime, the mainstream public needs to push back hard on the firestorm when it happens."

Regime/mainstream media has forfeited any trust and integrity as their advertising revenue business model entails generating outrage and sensation in the service of viewer eyeballs (audience). Add that regime media has openly endorsed partisanship, and both rediscovery and even application of the truth is as misbegotten as it is hopeless. Regime media pursues what can only be called a post-truth narrative.

What the mainstream public needs to do is spend their time and money elsewhere in order to starve the beast. Incentives matter. So do penalties.
