D'origine Américaine, je vis en France depuis des décennies. Je crois dans les valeurs de la République. J'apporte une vision transatlantique aux débats.
Some aging residents of Ste.-Mère-Église (first town liberated by US soldiers) in Normandy can still recall the American paratroopers who dropped into their backyard. It’s been a love affair ever since.
GREAT ARTICLE
"One of the reasons my party lost in the recent elections is that we didn’t recognize how the world was changing, and when we did, we did not adapt quickly enough. Specifically, there was complacency about the nature of the enemy we were fighting because a lot of people did not recognize it for what it was.
There’s a great movie from the 1990s—The Usual Suspects. In it, there is a fantastic quote: “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.”
That is the trick that those on the authoritarian left have pulled off. They have smuggled ideas and policies that look like liberalism but are anything but. They speak the language of the civil rights movement, but they aim to resegregate us. They preach about social justice, but they do not believe in the most basic ideas of fairness and equality. They demand our tolerance even as they seek to undermine the very culture and institutions that create that tolerance in the first place.
Another way of putting it is that liberalism has been hacked."
While the tide is finally starting to turn on 'Woke' DEI fraudulent activism, it is by no means "over".
Activists in government, in orgs, in corporate HR departments, are still pushing IDpol programs, still operating under the false narratives with which they were indoctrinated.
"US universities have lost trust over the past decade in lockstep with the rise in symptoms of their woke takeover. Polls suggest this is not a coincidence. Enrollment has declined over the same time period, driven largely by a sharp decline among men, who increasingly reject wokeness. The enrollment decline may have accelerated this past year. Even left-leaning outlets like the New York Times have started publishing embarrassing stories about university leaders subordinating their research and teaching missions to woke fads, wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in the process. Employers are increasingly shunning graduates from elite schools, whose brands have been tainted by extremism and antisemitism, and shifts away from merit in admissions. The public has had enough, and rightly so. 🧵
"Il y a un cordon sanitaire à placer autour de LFI. Pour Mélenchon, quand Merah a assassiné une gamine juive de 3 ans à bout touchant c'était un 'incident'. C'est la gauche des ténèbres, qui refuse de condamner les enlèvements et meurtres d'enfants par le HAMAS." [Richard Malka]
"What we have witnessed over the past 48 hours—the toppling of Assad statues in various cities; the opening of the hellish prisons (in which some benighted prisoners had survived for decades); the fleeing of many of the secret police; the departure of Russian and Hezbollah troops; and now the vanishing of the dictator himself—is astonishing. It is impossible to watch the fall of the brutal tyranny of the House of Assad without feeling joy.
But this is the Middle East. Anyone who remembers the Arab Spring knows that things can always get worse. And anyone who studies history knows that predictions are for fools."
One of the primary functions of higher ed is to take kids from historically marginalized backgrounds who are just looking for a shot at the American Dream and destroy their mental health by propagandizing them with disempowering theories about the evils of "assimilation" into "whiteness," or (as my college has done) the horrors of the "racial battle fatigue" students of color must necessarily experience, or the inescapability of the "implicit bias" that will rob them of any control over their own destinies.
This works out great for the professorial class, because they can then cite the resulting anxiety and depression among students and graduates of color as being a result of the largely illusory evils they flogged into the students to produce their poor mental health in the first place.

People are unwilling to fight for their children’s lives. That is an essential truth of the climate crisis. They distract themselves with nonsense rather than face facts even though this is a deadly situation.
I really like this.

Opening of the doors: Archbishop will strike the closed door of Notre-Dame with his staff. The cathedral will “respond” with the singing of Psalm 121, three times. on the third time, the doors will open"

Killing kindergartners at a Christian school is now apparently revenge for America's "genocide and oppression of Palestinians."
Barely a footnote in the news cycle. No "not in our name" outrage from the pro-Palestinian crowd.
This SHOULD outrage anyone. Those poor kids.
