The Virginia Military Institute, alma mater of the great George Patton, tragically succumbed to the Long March Through the Institutions. A Moonbat of Color has been put in charge of subverting it to serve the leftist racial agenda. But an attempt is underway to restore the USA’s oldest public senior military college.

The New York Post reports:

Cedric Wins, 60, launched diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives after taking the helm of VMI in October 2020.

He laid out a five-goal plan for “Inclusive Excellence” by citing the mission to “achieve and maintain a more diverse and inclusive student body, faculty, staff, and administration.”

“Inclusive excellence” is a classically Orwellian oxymoron. The point is to sacrifice excellence to “inclusivity” — i.e., the exclusion of the core population of white male heterosexuals in accordance with cultural Marxism.

Wins’ classmates of 1985 are not ready to give the school up as lost:

Ex-Marine Matt Daniel, 60, a fellow “brother rat,” as VMI classmates are known, founded a political action committee dubbed “Spirit of VMI” to fight the 183-year-old school’s new progressive efforts.

The group is shining light on the lucrative scam that is exclusionary “inclusion”:

Spirit of VMI has questioned why the school’s Board of Visitors awarded Wins a $100,000 bonus on top of his annual salary of $656,000 — despite a 25 percent drop in enrollment.

Wins has in the past denounced Daniel as being “racist.” No doubt Daniel will be clubbed with the accusation again for trying to prevent his school from being flushed down the toilet.

Success is hardly assured, but a Marine doesn’t stop fighting a war that isn’t over. Neither should any of us.

On a tip from Franco.

Never be a victim. No matter what life throws at you, you are not a victim until you see yourself as one. That gives you a claim to pity, at the price of agency and self-respect. You become helpless and self-loathing, so that people might feel almost as sorry for you as you feel for yourself.

Because it is contemptible, moonbats revere victimhood. The highest honor in their inverted moral scheme is to be seen as a victim. This is the basis of their religion, cultural Marxism.

Of all the catastrophic consequences of liberals achieving hegemony, the worst is that we are becoming a nation of victims. Retired SEAL Mike Sarraille sounds the alarm:

Sarraille doesn’t blame young people for adopting a victim mentality — he said it’s been taught to them.

“The problem is us. It’s my generation,” he said, adding that politicians are setting a poor leadership example and that the public education system is ingraining victim mentality in kids, particularly through Critical Race Theory.

Freedom is for the strong, not victims. Consequently,

Young people are also much more likely to support cancel culture than older generations, according to the Manhattan Institute.

Victims submit. They lash out on behalf of their masters at those who do not submit.

“We’re not creating a generation of warriors,” Sarraille said. “Instead, we’re creating victims who think they’re entitled to certain things and that nothing is their fault.”

Authoritarians instill this infantile mentality deliberately. The purpose of victim-based ideology is to create a population that is easy to rule.

“But nobody can help you but you,” Sarraille said.

People who understand that will reject progressivism and hold onto their freedom. If there are not enough of them, America will continue to die.

Jesus would not be welcome in a society dominated by moonbats. Not even curing the blind would win him favorable coverage from the liberal media. It would be denounced as thoughtcrime — more specifically, ableism.

Tech Crunch explains:

[T]he biggest problem with wanting to “cure” blindness is that it reinforces a moral superiority of sorts by those without disabilities over those who are disabled. Although not confronted nearly as often as racism and sexism, systemic ableism is pervasive through all parts of society. The fact of the matter is that the majority of abled people view disability as a failure of the human condition; as such, people with disabilities should be mourned and pitied. More pointedly … disabilities should be eradicated — cured.

Obesity is celebrated by moonbats despite being a morbidity likely to take many years off your life. Why not blindness?

The same goes for deafness:

If someone “cured” deafness, what would happen to the people? Deaf culture is real. The culture would fade away because there’d be no reason for sign language to exist and the experiences derived from it. …

Disabilities need no cure. What truly needs curing is society’s proclivity to view the disability community as little more than real-life characters from a Tod Browning film. Disabled people are not freaks. Disability isn’t a bad word. You can learn a lot from us.

Under cultural Marxism, being disabled isn’t a disability; it is yet another “marginalized” identity. It is power.

Anything bad, like sickness or disability, our moonbat overlords demand we embrace. Anything good, like curing the blind, they piously denounce. Modern liberalism could be defined as the pursuit of depravity as the ultimate end in itself.

On a tip from Steve T.

Because Old Glory represents everything leftists hate, alternatives must be found. For example, Democrats at the SOTU spectacle replaced flag pins with pieces of flare proclaiming their adoration of abortion. Likewise, the moonbats controlling classrooms have an alternate flag to which children are required to pledge allegiance:

The Progress Pride flag represents degeneracy and intersectional cultural Marxism, combining sexual perversion with antiwhite racism. This isn’t the first time teachers have forced kids to pledge allegiance to it or to the rainbow flag, which symbolizes depravity and debauchery without the racial aspect.

As Post Millennial reminds us,

In 2021, Kristin Pitzen, a public school teacher in Orange County, California was reportedly investigated after posting a video on social media saying her students recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the Progress Pride flag after she removed the American flag because it made her “uncomfortable.”

Last year, students at a Maryland elementary school were invited by school staff to be filmed holding pride flag posters while saying, “Love, Respect, Freedom, Tolerance, Equality, and Pride.”

Even the husband [sic] of Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been caught on video mocking the pledge of allegiance with a group of LGBTQ+ kids at a “gay camp.” Chasten Buttigieg, a middle school teacher, was filmed doing a “pledge to the rainbow flag” in 2019.

It doesn’t stop at schools. Under Democrat rule, the Progress Pride flag has been triumphantly hoisted above the federal headquarters of the Department of the Interior and the State Department. The rainbow flag is often seen over US embassies.

I couldn’t bring myself to sit through the State of the Union. The actual state of our collapsing country under liberal rule is obvious. Even ABC News admits that record numbers of Americans are worse off since Biden et al. took power. Who has the patience to watch the vermin who are destroying the USA stand and clap for 5 minutes for every incoherent lie mumbled by a senile corruptocrat?

Daily Wire provides a SparkNotes summary:

The economy is booming, the border is secure, Ukraine is winning the war (they just need one more round of billions), climate change will kill us all, and Republicans are the divisive ones — not the guy who called 75 million Americans “ultra MAGA extremists” threatening democracy. Oh also, they think men can be women and that abortion is a gift from God to be protected. …

It was a campaign speech, not even pretending to be a State of the Union. He trotted out the same tired lines that we have all heard before. He even regurgitated lines from last year’s State of the Union.

The lowest point was probably when Biden attempted to exploit the killing of a black guy by five black cops under a black police chief in mostly black Memphis by implying that white racists were responsible. He even referred to The Talk “that so many Black and Brown families have had with their children” in an attempt to convince blacks and even the Hispanics pouring into the country that whites are somehow oppressing them. If anyone needs “The Talk,” it is white kids, who are vastly more likely to be subjected to racial violence, thanks to the cultural Marxism spread by reprehensible moonbats like Joe Biden.

This was alarming:

This was even more alarming:

Time to evoke the 25th Amendment and get Kamala Harris over with.

The wokest corporation in America corrupts impressionable children with more moonbat malice:

Disney has released the second season of “The Proud Family: Louder & Prouder,” a children’s show promoting a Critical Race Theory-inspired interpretation of history.

Clips from the colorful kids cartoon show an ensemble of characters repeating the phrase “slaves built this country,” in reference to the United States.

Slaves picked some cotton in the South going on 2 centuries ago. They did not build this country. America was built almost exclusively by the white men liberals demonize.

No constructive purpose can be served by telling vicious lies to stoke a sense of grievance in minorities. It is straight-up cultural Marxism, a tactic designed to destroy the country by turning it against itself.

Christopher Rufo reveals what children are fed by Disney, and who has been doing the feeding:

Disney has been brainwashing kids to despise their country, and to embrace anti-white race hate and sexual depravity. We couldn’t be worse off allowing the communist Chinese to take charge of children’s entertainment — which they eventually will, as Democrat rule renders us defenseless. Do not expect Disney to put up resistance:

Disney has cut an episode from The Simpsons that contains a reference to ‘forced labour camps’ in China from its streaming service in Hong Kong.

The episode two of season 34, ‘One Angry Lisa’, which first aired in October on television, is not available on the US company’s Disney Plus streaming service in Hong Kong…

In the episode, the character Marge Simpson is shown images of China’s Great Wall during an exercise class as her instructor says: ‘Behold the wonders of China: bitcoin mines, forced labour camps where children make smartphones.’

This isn’t the first time Disney has quietly complied with ChiCom censors:

In 2021, Disney removed an episode of ‘The Simpsons’ that made a reference to the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown when it first launched its Disney Plus service in Hong Kong.

The episode featured a visit to the square, which displayed a large sign saying ‘on this site, in 1989, nothing happened’.

Homer Simpson also called Chairman Mao a ‘little angel’ who killed millions.

Like Apple, Nike, the NBA, and the rest of the sanctimonious, morally rotten liberal establishment, Disney does not mind supporting oppression in China, righteously as they oppose the make-believe oppression of privileged minority groups.

No one will be surprised to read that the 1792 Exchange lists Disney as a maliciously liberal corporation:

The Walt Disney Company has fired employees, including celebrities, according to political views. Disney also threatened to move business out of Georgia if the governor signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 2016. The company also has used its corporate power and money to support ideological groups and policies, like the Equality Act and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Additionally, Disney weaponized its PAC against election objectors, ceasing all donations to anyone who voted not to certify the 2020 election. It has leveraged its vast resources to fight state policies as well, using its money, content, and networks to object to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act.

Esteemed countermoonbat Ron DeSantis steps forward to confront the leftist dragon:

DeSantis is relieving Disney of its control over a special tax zone in Orlando, Florida, ending the corporation’s 55-year-reign over the district…

“Florida is dissolving the Corporate Kingdom and beginning a new era of accountability and transparency,” DeSantis’ office said. “These actions ensure a state-controlled district accountable to the people instead of a corporate-controlled kingdom,” the statement added.

DeSantis is holding Disney legally accountable legally. It is up to customers to hold the evil kingdom accountable culturally.

To Democrats, identity politics is more important than life itself, as they prove by attacking physical fitness standards for firefighters in Connecticut:

A law introduced earlier this month in the Connecticut State Assembly would let women skip the Candidate Physical Ability Test, a timed gauntlet used by fire departments across the country. The test, which only 10 to 15 percent of women pass, requires candidates to complete intense physical tasks while wearing a 50 pound vest. It’s designed to simulate the experience of navigating a fire in heavy gear—and to weed out those unable to do so.

It’s not as if there will be no physical requirements at all. Social engineers will only lower standards far enough to get results that prop up their surreal vision of a world where there is no difference between men and women.

The law, introduced by five Democratic lawmakers, would offer women an alternative test based on “revised physical standards,” with the goal of ensuring that “additional female candidates” qualify for firefighter positions, text from the bill states.

As retired New Haven firefighter Leah DiNapoli notes,

“If you can’t handle a 50 pound vest, you’re not going to be able to rescue a child from a burning building.”

Leftists could counter this with one of their favorite slogans: “You can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs.”

Cultural Marxism is also applied on a racial basis:

In 2003, the New Haven fire department threw out the results of a written exam after none of the African Americans who took it scored high enough for a promotion. [Retired fireman Frank] Ricci, the former union president, who would have been promoted based on his results, sued the department, arguing that he and other non-black firefighters had been denied professional opportunities because of their race. The Supreme Court agreed, ruling 5-4 that New Haven had violated anti-discrimination law.

Rulings like that make Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court.

Equity will be achieved when we are all equally unqualified. Those stuck in burning buildings will be left to their own devices.

If Bruce Jenner is a woman, then pop singer Gwen Stefani is Japanese:

While speaking about her now-controversial Harajuku Lovers fragrance line, which launched in 2008, and frequent use of Japan’s subculture over the years, the singer, 53, raised eyebrows as she repeatedly insisted she was Japanese.

The controversy comes from the sin against political correctness that is cultural appropriation. The rest of the world is entitled to things created by white people — electricity, flight, the Internet, modern agriculture, modern medicine, et cetera. But whites are forbidden to embrace anything that is nonwhite in origin, because according to liberal ideology, white people are racist and therefore bad.

In the past, Stefani has been denounced for wearing dreadlocks, thereby culturally appropriating from blacks.

Despite having no ethnic ties to the country as the daughter of an Italian-American father and Irish-American mother, the performer claimed to identify as part Asian.

A little wackiness is to be expected with entertainers. At least she is less crazy than liberal establishment ideology. She asks:

“[It] should be okay to be inspired by other cultures because if we’re not allowed then that’s dividing people, right?”

It is not okay, because the point of cultural Marxism (a.k.a. political correctness) is to implement a divide and conquer strategy on behalf of the oligarchical collectivist ruling class.

Kudos to Stefani for drawing attention to this, and for choosing a race that generally doesn’t get extra privileges for failing and then wailing about oppression. But she still joins the list of racial imposters for claiming to be Japanese instead of embracing what she really is, even if she probably never meant us to take her literally.

Like the gay lifestyle, obesity as an identity offers privilege but also risk:

Jamie Lopez, founder of Babydoll Beauty Couture and star of the WE tv reality show “Super Sized Salon,” has died. She was 37.

As often happens with the morbidly obese, her heart did her in.

Lopez’s Las Vegas business, founded in 2017, claims to be the world’s first plus-size salon.

“People just don’t like fat people, they treat us horribly,” she told the Mirror in 2019 regarding her drive to foster inclusivity. “They want to make us feel like we’re unwelcome or feel like we don’t belong here.”

According to the principles of Cultural Marxism, this lived experience of oppression entitles the overweight to privileged status. To earn it, however, they must fully embrace obesity as an identity. The health effects are predictable.

Under moonbat rule, depraved LGBT ideology takes precedence over everything else — including security:

The Transport Security Administration (TSA) has spent $18.6 million on a new screening system to go into effect in January, which will reduce the number of transgender travelers having ‘sensitive areas’ flagged as suspicious. …

The TSA says such measures will ‘advance civil rights’ …

“Civil rights” is liberalese for cultural Marxism. These days, it usually entails pandering to transsexuals at everyone else’s expense.

Under the new updated system, a person’s gender identity will be taken into account, and a secondary automated screening allowed – reducing the need for TSA pat-downs…

If Richard Reid could put a bomb in his sneakers, Kayla Lemieux could probably sneak aboard a pair of nuclear warheads in the giant fake bazoongas he is famous for wearing to teach shop class.

The priority given to transsexual ideology at the expense of reality by security officials is not reassuring.

On the other hand, Taylor Small, historic first Vermont transgender legislator, was offended that security protocols took priority over his weaponized hurt feelings. Also,

Last year, a transgender woman from Arizona accused the TSA of being ‘transphobic’ while detailing the humiliation [he] faced at airport security.

Rosalynne Montoya was flying from Phoenix to Los Angeles when [he] was stopped at security after the full-body scanner detected an ‘anomaly’ between [his] legs.

The actual anomaly is between Mr Montoya’s ears.

The cash has been spent, however, despite only six percent of the annual 26,000 complaints coming from members of the LGBTQ+ community. Seven percent of the U.S. population identify as LGBTQ+.

Just think of it as a tithe to our state religion, which is moonbattery.

At last a little light is shining on the social engineers who have been using wokeness to debilitate American armed forces. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) have issued a report finding that indoctrinating the US military with Critical Race Theory and LGBT ideology has significantly weakened it:

The report finds that instructors at military academies use “antiracist” approaches to education that direct soldiers to center their understanding of American society on an acknowledgment of its racist past and present, the report said.

“Antiracist” means “racist against America’s core population.”

Kelisa Wing, the chief diversity equity and inclusivity officer at the Department of Defense, has tweeted she is “exhausted with these White folx” and suggested Black people are incapable of racism…

More on professional racist Kelisa Wing here.

Bishop Garrison, another diversity official at the agency, has promoted elements of critical race theory through his praise of the 1619 Project, a controversial education project that describes slavery at the core of American history.

Imagine our national defense in the hands of people who have in affect been indoctrinated by the New York Times.

This focus on diversity, the Republicans’ report notes, even extends to the United States Special Operations Command, which oversees special operations conducted for national security. That group’s Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan, which all agencies were required to submit in response to an executive order from Biden, stated that “leaders must integrate diversity and inclusion efforts into unit goals, mission objectives, talent management initiatives and operational priorities for a successful implementation.”

Under Democrat rule the military strives not for combat effectiveness but to advance Cultural Marxism and the LGBT agenda.

The report also notes that the military covers the costs of transgender procedures for its members and allows them to serve as transgender and use the bathroom of their preferred gender. Military recruitment videos in recent years have touted the military’s inclusivity to LGBT members with the use of the rainbow pride flag.

George Patton vomits in his grave.

A U.S. military base in Germany this year scheduled a drag queen story hour for children…

Not falling under Democrat rule, the Chinese army likely finds other uses for its time than immersing small children in degeneracy and sexual perversion.

Roy notes that “Biden’s woke Pentagon is using taxpayer dollars to promote blatant anti-American ideology.” This has not helped recruitment efforts, but it fits with the agenda.

Readers will recall that upon taking office Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced a military-wide stand-down to root out “extremists.” An extremist is someone who joined the military to defend America and the Constitution from its enemies foreign and domestic.

Liberals can’t push their agenda much farther without disarming us. Who is going kick down your door and snatch away your AR-15? Beto O’Rourke? Chris Hayes?

Local police can’t be trusted, especially after Democrats have spent the past several years demonizing and hamstringing them. The military will be required. But it will have to be staffed with people willing to follow orders a patriot would refuse to obey. The purges and the social engineering are intended to drive such people out.

On a tip from Chuck A.

The MSM looks hard for evidence of the systemic racism that is a bedrock of its ideology, but cannot find any, so it is forced to superimpose racism on incidents that have nothing to do with it (e.g., George Floyd’s demise). This is because liberal journalists are looking in the wrong places. Resume Builder offers them a clue with a study on the difficulty of finding a job if you are a Caucasian in a society dominated by leftists. One thousand hiring managers were surveyed across the country. The findings:

• 52% believe their company practices “reverse discrimination” in hiring

• 1 in 6 have been asked to deprioritize hiring white men

• 48% have been asked to prioritize diversity over qualifications

• 53% believe their job will be in danger if they don’t hire enough diverse employees

• 70% believe their company has DEI initiatives for appearances’ sake

White women get hit nearly as hard as white men:

Sixteen percent of hiring managers surveyed say they have been told to deprioritize white men when evaluating candidates, and 14% have been told to deprioritize hiring white women. This is a consistent finding with past reports of “reverse discrimination”.

So-called “reverse discrimination” is the only kind of discrimination you will find in the USA in the 21st century.

Note that these numbers represent only what the respondents would admit to. Human resources departments are notoriously left-wing. The actual numbers are likely much higher.

Instead of acknowledging that all systemic racism is against whites (with spillover onto Asians for “acting white” by working hard and being successful), the MSM gaslights that no such racism exists and also that you are a racist for drawing attention to it. On behalf of the liberal establishment, propagandist Leonard Pitts Jr denounces an ad for having the courage to stand up for an identity group that really is discriminated against. I believe he means this one:

Intones Pitts:

Yes, the spot is obviously a direct descendant of the notoriously racist Willie Horton ad of 1988. But our attention today is on how it tries to neutralize the language of liberal protest by co-opting it, i.e., re-framing “racism” as something suffered by white folks. It’s a rhetorical trick the white right has used for years. Which is not to say it has lost its power to infuriate. This narrative that racism is a “both sides” phenomenon may be comfort food for them, but it is a libel upon my ancestors.

Pitts is of politically preferred racial heritage. Therefore, it would be racist to point out that his viewpoint is racist.

Cynical whites will continue to utilize Cultural Marxism to achieve power. Weak whites will internalize self-hatred as instructed. Others will push back.
