Ring in the New Year but Skip the Resolutions, The World is Ending…(again).

I don’t like to tell people something is must-read or must-watch. It sounds pretentious and a bit totalitarian. But we’re always pulling on a thread. The ‘Be Trump’ theme. Upend the ruling class card table. And this conversation between Mark Levin and Victor Davis Hanson seems important to me.
No Holiday is sacred for the Left
It’s the holidays with Thanksgiving up first.

Beto Promises Political Suicide if He Doesn’t Win Democrat Nomination
Bobby O’Rourke doesn’t need the job or the hassle or the money. But those are the only reasons why we should take him seriously when he says, “I cannot fathom a scenario where I would run for public office again if I’m not the nominee.”

There is pressure for change. Does that mean the nation wants or needs different values and principles? Right now we have more access to more good information than at any point in history by a lot. This should be, can be information nirvana.
Twenty Years of Communications Change
The majority of the recent change is the result of advances in communications inter-connectivity. The ability of people to get a lot of information for free is very recent.

About the Left’s “insult-them-until-they-join-our-side” Strategy
I haven’t been called a racist yet today, but it’s early. And, I confess, I haven’t gone searching. But do I need to look? Their 2016 failures have been exacerbated by a Democrat Presidential primary driven by the mood swings of the far-left whose best rhetorical defense is name-calling.

Political Candidate in Canada: ‘Fidel Castro was a Hero’
Put this in the column “you can’t make this stuff up.” That there are people in this world who actually believe Fidel Castro or Che Guevara were ‘heroes’ is absolutely horrifying.
