| | | For many years, the United States has been effectively a technocracy, run by unelected “experts.” Former Harvard president Claudine Gay’s fall from grace may mark the end of that era.
Technocrats have long told us what we can and can’t do, what we’re allowed to own, what our kids must learn in school, and so on. For the most part, we never voted for any of that, yet we have gone along docilely, not noticing or not caring or, at best, unwilling to make waves.
The result has been the rise of self-selected “experts,” the credentialed class, who exist primarily to impose their will on others. Their ranks have swelled recently with the exponential growth of government and education bureaucracies and the emergence of “academic” programs designed not to increase knowledge but to feed those bureaucracies. | | | NOTABLE QUOTES | Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò wrote regarding the globalist Covid-19psycho-pandemic farce: “These murderers will soon find themselves answering for their crimes, if not before the tribunal of the world, then certainly before God.”
James Comer (R-KY ) House Oversight Committee Chair: “Without firing a single bullet, the Chinese Communist Party is waging war against the U.S. by targeting, influencing, and infiltrating every economic sector and community in America.”
New York Times: The top Senate Democrat, the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the United States, spoke from the Senate floor to condemn Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and call for elections to replace him.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.): “Chuck Schumer’s demand for new Israeli elections is inappropriate and offensive. Israel is a close ally and a healthy, vibrant democracy. The last thing Israel needs is the ‘foreign election interference’ that Democrats so often decry here.”
Elliott Abrams contributor to Council Foreign Relations: What is a colony? The dictionary definition is “an area over which a foreign nation or state extends or maintains control.” Today Sen. Chuck Schumer tried to turn the State of Israel into one—an American colony. In a Senate speech he demanded new elections in Israel and said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an “obstacle to peace.” Schumer also decided that “The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7.” Schumer concluded that “The world has changed – radically – since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past.” | | | PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS | | | MORE ARTICLES | England’s National Health Service has declared that there’s not enough evidence of “safety and clinical effectiveness” for children and young people to be given puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria.
“Puberty blockers (gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues) are not available to children and young people for gender incongruence or gender dysphoria, because there is not enough evidence of safety and clinical effectiveness,” the NHS notes on its site.
“From the age of 16, teenagers who’ve been on hormone blockers for at least 12 months may be given cross-sex hormones, also known as gender-affirming hormones.”
The NHS explicitly states that these hormones cause irreversible changes, including maturing girls’ development of breasts, the breaking or deepening of a person’s voice, and temporary or even permanent infertility. | | The commitment to GOTV efforts has to be year-round, and conservative ground game leaders are finally waking up to that fact.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more energetic group of go-getters than the army of vote wranglers in the Students Learn Students Vote Coalition. SLSV, which bills itself as the “national hub & largest nonpartisan network in the country dedicated to increasing student voter participation,” is definitely dedicated.
But the coalition, which is at best “nonpartisan” in name only, is just one of a litany of leftist groups tirelessly and cooperatively working around the nation, particularly in the election-deciding battleground states, to elect Democrats. | | In her memoir, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., falsely framed former President Donald Trump as the mastermind of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, with claims that the commander-in-chief resisted calls to deploy the National Guard. The Federalist exclusively reported on Friday that the vice chair of the since-disbanded Select Committee on Jan. 6 even suppressed evidence showing Trump actually pushed for more troops.
In her December book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, Cheney outlined how the select committee discovered the White House was warned about the potential for violence in the run-up to Jan. 6, 2021. The chapter titled “They Knew” said the committee learned of warnings through records obtained by the Secret Service. | | MUST SEE VIDEOS | | | | | ABOUT THE PRICKLY PEAR | The Prickly Pear (ThePricklyPear.org) is focused on delivering timely, fact-based news, and citizen opinion that reflects our mission to “inform, educate and advocate about the principles of limited government and personal liberty.” Please follow us on Twitter @PricklyPear_AZ for all our latest content. | | |
