Ugly racism.

 Today, President Biden said:

Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, demonization have long torn us apart. The battle is perennial, and victory is never assured.

Racism. The Democratic coalition is built to fight an enemy -- white (male) racism. That's how a national elite, an obvious minority, maintains power in a democracy while sitting above a vast majority of middle class, working class, and poor. It practices divide and rule. It turns the female majority and the  people of color near majority against "racism, nativism, demonization."

Under Franklin Roosevelt, Democrats mobilized an obvious majority against the wealthy. Under Bill Clinton's unofficial campaign motto, "It's the economy, stupid!", Democrats again promised prosperity to the lower classes. But today, Democrats practice a new racism well recognized by those of us who hate being called "racist" or "white supremacist."

 Biden also said:

What are the common objects we as Americans love that define us as Americans? I think we know.   .   . dignity, respect, honor, and yes, the truth.

Yes, we get the reference to "dignity, respect, honor." Biden's not Trump. But Biden's emphasis on "the truth" sent chills down my spine. I very much fear -- to use another Biden word -- that "the truth" is going to be defined by someone above me, and I don't mean God.

Strap yourself in.  We are headed for a rough journey.

“It’s Over” indeed.

Julian Epstein is a Democratic Party strategist who helped President Clinton navigate through sticky political issues. Epstein faults Obama for “a set of ideas and tactics” causing the Democrats’ 2024 loss, including “Demography is Destiny” — “a kind of manifest destiny of the left, adopted in the second Obama term, that promises an ever-diversifying electorate would inexorably vote Democratic [influenced by] cartoonish appeals to identity and big government wardship.”  Epstein also hit Obama’s emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), on the era’s hormone therapies and surgeries on youth, and the failure of Obama’s leaning toward Iran and away from Israel in the Middle East. We welcome Epstein’s January 4 burial of the “Obama Era.” Readers will recall our “It’s Over” blog entry on November 12, 2024 , documenting Obama’s political passing.

Bari Weiss                        Batya Ungar-Sargon The founding documents were .   .   . “magnificent,” as Martin Luther King Jr. put it, because they were “a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.” In other words: The founders themselves planted the seeds of slavery’s destruction. And our second founding fathers—abolitionists like Frederick Douglass—made it so. America would never be perfect, but we could always strive toward building a more perfect union. No longer. American liberalism is under siege. — Bari Weiss, Tablet   Bari Weiss resigned in protest last July from the New York Times .

It’s Over.

  since the rise of Barack Obama, Democrats have seen themselves as destined to rule. With his presidential victory in 2008, they created a seemingly unbridgeable political empire. With the support of big cities, young progressives, universities, the media and an ever-expanding government workforce, the party [] imagined it could stay in power indefinitely. — Joel Kotkin, spiked the time has now arrived for Barack Obama to leave Washington and exit American politics, now that his Shadow Presidency — which proved to be even more counter-productive and chaotic than Trump’s first term in office — has gone down in flames. — David Samuels, UnHerd   The worst thing about Obama America: the absence of excellence. Democrats care about government. So it’s unsurprising they used to be about governing well, bringing out the best in leadership. FDR New Deal and World War II victory; Truman Marshall Plan, NATO, UN defending Korea; JFK to the Moon, Cuban Missile Crisis, Tax Reform, Nucle...
