"In Cuban-fashion, millions of judge-jury-executioner online snitches, with government encouragement, will help root out incorrect thoughts at light speed." Victor Hanson Davis The last two years have wrought a societal slump that could reduce the United States of America to ruins. McCarthyism is back. The woke embrace of Cuba's communists and rejection of American exceptionalism is astounding. Bonus stimulus checks without any effort from the recipients. Borders flooded with people demanding to be taken care of. A woke military that's more concerned with social justice than providing national security. Scant police coverage so that looting, assault, and destruction of property are barely noticed. Today's progressives read those words and ask, "So what?" What happened to America? This comprehensive piece from Victor Hanson Davis provides a

Let’s go to Dayton & see how things are going at the Dollar General pic.twitter.com/IXvOjdFoB3— Busted Coverage (@bustedcoverage) October 11, 2019 Armed man robs frequently robbed Dayton, Ohio store. Clerk shoots robber. Robber got off at least one shot but the clerk was unhurt. Robber stumbles to the outside of the store, collapses, and dies. Karma, right? Witnesses say the robber did indeed point a gun at the clerk. Stand your ground. Self defense. Kill or be killed. That's how rational people interpret a scenario like this. As the above tweet illustrates, the siblings of the robber are somehow incensed that the clerk had a weapon and say the clerk should have called police and "let them handle it."

Megyn America Grate Again
Creators of The Simpsons are quietly purging all scenes of Apu the Kwiki Mart owner. The character is Indian. White actor Hank Azaria provides the voice for Apu and a dozen other characters on the show. ‘The Simpsons’ producer confirms Apu is being written out of show following controversy https://t.co/lKzFCe1wFa pic.twitter.com/s34IUDUtqs— NME (@NME) October 26, 2018 America's current woke sensitivity has revved up another faux crusade. One person complained and suddenly 30 years of scenes are being clipped out of the archives. Instead of allowing the creators to evolve the character, complainants demand that Apu is purged. This is the same sort of media control seen in North Korea and Iran. The Apu firestorm has inspired some clever replies
Snowflakes BEWARE: Rickles’ rude, insensitive, racist remarks are posted here! Run to your SAFE SPACE!
Humorlessness took a giant step forward this week. Acerbic comedian and actor Don Rickles passed at age 90. Today's sanctimonious, better-than-you snowflakes are dancing a jig on his grave. Well...only the descendants of those for whom jig dancing is a native tradition. Otherwise that would be racially-tinged cultural appropriation. Today's sensitive snowflakes are quick to point out on social media that anyone who makes jokes is a bully. Any voiced or written subject that does not pertain to one's own personal lineage, gender, transitioning gender, age, race, or family of origin is unacceptable. As soon as any other human person finds it offensive then the creator must publicly apologize. (see: Michael Keaton incorrectly references "Hidden
Damon Wayans on Cosby, audience sensitivity, legacy
"O, Utopia. Why must your sweet governance always turn so quickly from the Edenic to the Stalinist?" From the Power 105 Breakfast Club radio show - In a freewheeling conversation, Damon Wayans reflects on his famous family, classic comedy sketches that would face PC opposition today, SNL discomfort, In Living Color, Kevin Hart, harnessing talent, and more. A little news popped when Wayans said Bill Cosby is being taken down by a "money hustle" and that some of his accusers are "unrapeable." Wayans took heat for using the word unrapeable and referring to some of them as bitches. He refused to budge. No way any of this comedy would fly on today's thought-policed college campuses.

Ignore history and you’re doomed to repeat it
Terry Meiners and Matt Jones discussed the apology issued by The Courier-Journal over a crybaby caricature of Kentucky coach John Calipari. The conversation sparked heavy response from fans of both UK and UofL. Enjoy these examples.
