What progressives are progressing toward is the eradication of Western Civilization. Nothing is sacred — not even Shakespeare:
A study funded by the British government to the tune of almost a million pounds claims that William Shakespeare, one of foremost the literary icons in history, has been disproportionately represented and has enabled “white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender male narratives” to dominate theatre.
The study, by academics at the University of Roehampton, was funded by the government’s Arts and Humanities Research Council …
Shakespeare’s work and those who have appreciated it reflect the attributes of the culture that produced them, including “masculinity and nationalism.” Clearly, the Bard is overdue for cancelation.
Social engineers have already found a replacement:
As a counter to Shakespeare’s lack of diversity, the researchers are staging a production of a play by John Lyly, a playwright around at the same time as Shakespeare but who wasn’t as successful.
The researchers claim that the Lyly play Galatea offers “an unparalleled affirmative and intersectional demographic, exploring feminist, queer, transgender and migrant lives”.
Given that basically none of those things existed when the play was written, anyone in their right mind would conclude that they are not themes in the play, and instead have been crowbarred into it by the ‘academics’ obsessed with pushing their identity nonsense agenda.
You can’t have moonbattery and also have anything else. It is like algae that consumes all the oxygen in a pond so that nothing else can live.
On a tip from Franco.
To expose as clueless fools the malevolent apparatchiks Biden’s handlers appoint to positions of power, stump them with the simplest questions imaginable. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) demonstrated at a confirmation hearing last Wednesday:
United States District Judge Nancy Maldonado of the Northern District of Illinois, who has been nominated by Joe Biden for a spot on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, had previously signed a brief supporting a ban on “assault weapons” in Illinois state courts in the 2010s, yet, when he asked her to define “assault weapons,” she couldn’t.
Watch and laugh:
WATCH:@SenJohnKennedy: “You said, ‘assault weapons may be banned because they’re extraordinarily dangerous and are not appropriate for legitimate self-defense purposes.’ Tell me what you meant by assault weapons?”

Not so funny is that these arrogant idiots plan to deprive us of our most fundamental liberties like the right of self-defense.
They also want to radically reduce our standard of living to please their atavistic weather gods. Also from Wednesday:
Climate change has been significantly impacting winter sports, [Cross-Country Skiing Olympian Gus] Schumacher testified at the hearing on “The Nature of Climate Costs.”
Schumacher climbed onto the bandwagon during the Black Lives Matter riots to proclaim that enforcing the law is racist. Yet he testifies in support of authoritarians who want to impose laws against generating the energy required to keep us alive. Watch Kennedy give him the kick in the pants he has coming:

More John Kennedy:
Earlier this year, Kennedy humiliated another Biden nominee just by asking some simple questions about how the Court of Federal Claims works. Her nomination is still awaiting a confirmation vote. Another nominee withdrew from consideration after embarrassing herself when she couldn’t even answer Kennedy’s basic questions about the Constitution.
Let’s go to the videotape:

Thank you, Louisiana voters. The rest of the country is in your debt.

A country succumbing to moonbattery is no place to be child. It’s not such a great place for older people either:
NEW: Police arrested 77-year-old man who refused to leave his home after someone stole it from him and his wife in a case of fraud in DeKalb County, GA
The man’s wife said that they they’ve lived in the home for more than 20 years just to find all their belongings in the front… pic.twitter.com/88owD1djXe

Government is ever less help against thieves, because under moonbat rule, it is largely comprised of thieves:
An Orlando elected official allegedly took control of a 96-year-old woman’s finances and spent more than $100,000 of the nonagenarian’s money on a facelift, Miami hotel room for New Year’s Eve and other personal expenses…
Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill also allegedly used the six-figure sum on dental surgery, pricey perfume and clothes, and multiple intravenous vitamin infusions…
The spending spree came after Hill met the senior citizen in March 2021 and retained power of attorney over the 96-year-old the next month, the Orlando Sentinel reported, citing an Florida Department of Law Enforcement affidavit.
Hill has not been criminally charged in connection to the ongoing probe by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
She also apparently took over the woman’s home.
Hill has reportedly faced previous legal trouble.
She has a list of 21 past arrests that go all the way back to 1983, the Sentinel reported. The past charges include drug offenses, fraud, using bad checks and DUIs.
That is to say, she has been “justice-involved,” as liberals put it. This ranks up there with being “neurodiverse” among DEI résumé-enhancers.
