Elite Supremacists: Own Your Real Name

From the Hoover Institution’s Victor Davis Hanson, quoted without comment: 

 


Is there some rule that says the most vocal “antiracists” of the last two months must live in homes worth over $10 million in value? When the Obamas venture out of their seaside Martha’s Vineyard spread, it is to lecture the country on racial unfairness and “Jim Crow” voting laws.

 


When Oprah Winfrey compares slights with Meghan Markle, it is one $90 million estate holder chatting with another $14 million estate holder. 

 

 

 

When LeBron James with impunity threatens an officer on Twitter (“You’re next”), he does so from his own well-guarded $40 million Beverly Hills enclave.

 



capture the irony of self-labeled “Marxist” Patrisse Khan-Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter. She is now a proud owner of a $1.4 million Topanga Canyon home, in a nearly all-white neighborhood—and busy using her Marxist market insights to create a mini-real-estate family empire.

 

 

Coke's Quincey            Delta's Bastian           Baseball's Manfred

Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey believes his $18 million salary makes him as much an authority on the unfairness and inequity of Georgia’s voting laws as Delta CEO Ed Bastian (a mere $17 million a year) or Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred at a mere pre-COVID $11 million a year. So Americans are to buy Coke, fly Delta, and watch baseball while being lectured on the need for equity by these privileged multimillionaires?

“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 . You can read  her resignation letter, which in part states, “intellectual curiosity—let alone risk-taking—is now a liability at The Times .” To me, Weiss is a hero. Batya Ungar-Sargon on Twitter praised  Weiss’ letter. The two shar...

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...
