Honorary Degree for Richard “Rachel” Levine

Among the many benefits conferred upon those flamboyantly presenting themselves as members of the opposite sex, the liberal establishment has added honorary degrees from Rutgers:

Admiral Rachel L. Levine has led the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps since 2021 and is the assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Levine will receive an honorary doctor of science degree Sunday during the Rutgers-New Brunswick and Rutgers Health commencement at SHI Stadium, the university said Monday.

At this point a college degree is worth only slightly more than a Nobel Peace Prize.

Richard “Rachel” Levine earned the dubious honor by being “the nation’s first openly transgender federal official confirmed by the U.S. Senate.”

Admiral” Levine should also be in line for an honorary degree in genocide from the University of Auschwitz for the senior citizens he killed as Pennsylvania Health Secretary, by forcing Covid patients on nursing homes while getting his own mother out so that she would not fall victim. Also in order would be an honorary degree in medical atrocities from Mengele State for his promotion of sex change procedures for children, including both chemical castration and surgery.

Airstrikes in November?

While attacking the Second Amendment, Joe Biden has sneered that Americans’ AR-15s are useless anyway against his F-16s. That provides ominous context for the paranoid ravings of prominent Democrat Maxine Waters (D-CA):

Democrats are likely to cheat in November. Any complaints about it will be spun aggressively as “insurrection” by the media/Democratic Party. Maybe we should be building bomb shelters.

La Leche League Compels Support for Male Lactation

First depraved LGBT concepts like feeding male “milk” to babies are facilitated. Then they are forcibly normalized and imposed on society at large:

The British wing of La Leche League (LLL), which gives mother-to-mother support to those finding it hard to breastfeed, has been told by its US-based board of directors that the service cannot be single sex and they must support “male lactation”.

A substance resembling milk can be secreted by men who have been pumped full of female hormones. Our society has degenerated to the point that it permits feeding this unnatural not to mention unholy secretion to innocent babies.

By the way, the word “mother” has been struck from the Newspeak Dictionary:

They were also told that the use of the term “mother” could be a “roadblock”, and that questioning gender ideology was “harmful”.

No nook or cranny of society undefiled by moonbattery is to be permitted.

Welcome to Harvard Medical School

There is nothing that moonbattery cannot render useless and contemptible en route to destroying it completely. Not long ago, it would be hard to imagine a more prestigious institution than Harvard Medical School. Behold what liberalism has done to it:

How diverse.

I wonder why someone who checks the correct identity boxes would be so confident she will pass her tests despite just skimming the reading.

Before undergoing a medical procedure, make very sure that the surgeon is not a recent graduate from Harvard Medical School.

Liberalism as Meta-Evil

What we now call “liberalism” differs from malevolent ideologies of the past in that moral depravity is not merely a characteristic or even defining feature but the central objective. The most destructive ideologies in human history have been communism and Islam. But these ideologies are merely evil. Moonbattery is meta-evil, embracing and incorporating all else that is evil.

For example:

Mao killed 65 million of his own people. That lends him cachet among progressives. His body count will be exceeded if they prevail.

For another example:

Only by pursuing wrongness as an end in itself is it possible to reconcile LGBTism with Islam:

Chicago Teachers Union Displays Astonishing Greed

Where pathological greed meets radical leftism, there you will find teachers unions. In Chicago — launchpad of Barack Obama’s political career — the union has degenerated into a mob of looters:

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is negotiating a new contract with the public schools system and is understood to be calling for an extra $50 billion to pay for wage hikes as well as other demands such as fully paid abortions for its members, new migrant services and facilities and a host of LGBT-related requirements and training in schools.

To put the figure into context, the total base tax receipts for the state of Illinois last year were $50.7 billion.

Only 21% of Chicago 8th graders are proficient at reading. But no doubt they are well versed in alternative pronouns and know how to put a condom on.

Uselessness pays well where the woke are in charge:

Union President Stacy Davis Gates’ audacious plan calls for members to bank at least 9% wage increases each year through fiscal year 2028.

The average salary of a teacher in Chicago Public Schools is $93,182, according to research by the Illinois Policy Institute, a conservative nonprofit think tank. Therefore, the average teacher’s pay will increase by half to $144,620 in the 2027-2028 school year, it says.

Not bad for unskilled part-time babysitters who take summers, weekends, and every conceivable holiday off.

That figure would equate to more than double the median household income in Chicago, according to Census Bureau statistics.

Yet the media bleats piteously that teachers are unpaid.

If you think the outrageous demands will be laughed off, consider that the mayor is ultraleftist Brandon Johnson:

Johnson, a former CTU legislative coordinator who was put forward by the union to run for mayor. As of June 30, 2023, CTU had funneled more than $2.6 million into Johnson’s campaign while he received more than $6 million from teachers unions altogether, according to the Illinois Policy Institute.

Chicago already spends $21,000 per year per student, producing so little benefit for the money that Davis herself sends her son to private school — though the preferredly pigmented Davis has proclaimed that school choice is racist.

Meanwhile, Illinois State Comptroller Susana Mendoza reports on what the liberal locust swarm has been doing to the state’s finances:

Illinois is on pace to spend an additional $6.2 billion more than it receives in revenue this fiscal year alone if the state continues its current rate of spending without a budget.

She observes that “the spending is open-ended and our fiscal path is catastrophic.”

Progressives interpret this to mean they had better grab fast before Illinois collapses and there is nothing left to grab. Those in charge in Chicago are the equivalent of a Black Lives Matter mob going through a department store.

Big Money Backs Even the Kookiest Moonbats

They are clowns; they are losers; they are juvenile, not very bright, and often mentally ill. From Antifa kooks brandishing Tupperware shields to pampered Ivy League brats holding their breath until they turn blue on behalf of Hamas to Extinction Rebellion types trying to destroy famous paintings or gluing themselves to the freeway to improve the weather, it is rarely easy to take leftist foot soldiers seriously. But the purpose they are being applied to is no laughing matter — as confirmed by the money involved.

Consider the conspicuously malevolent Hillary Clinton:

A progressive group founded by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cut a large check recently to a climate change activist hub financing organizations behind disruptive anti-oil protests, bringing the total cash transfers to at least $500,000, records show.

Onward Together, which Clinton launched after losing the 2016 election, says it’s “committed to lifting up emerging organizations and leaders who are fighting for our shared progressive values and defending our democracy.” That pledge apparently includes funding Climate Emergency Fund, a charity backing groups leading demonstrations to bring awareness to climate change by vandalizing fine art, blocking major roads, gluing themselves to sports cars, and engaging in other extremist forms of protest.

Even the money Shrillary Rotten can bestow is peanuts compared to the riches of Goldman Sachs:

A New York City nonprofit that received more than $12 million from Goldman Sachs’ charitable arm encouraged anti-Israel activists to re-create the violent protests of “the summer of 2020,” just hours before rioters stormed and occupied a building on Columbia University’s campus.

More than 100 masked and keffiyeh-clad activists convened in the People’s Forum’s Manhattan office [last] Monday evening to plan their next moves as anti-Israel protests reach a fever pitch across the country. …

The People’s Forum, a registered charity that describes itself as “a movement incubator for working class and marginalized communities,” has been a mainstay at anti-Israel protests since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the Jewish state.

You have to be all the way out there to think vandalizing priceless Van Gogh paintings will force civilization to plunge itself into economic collapse in the name of the nonexistent climate crisis. The same goes for taking up the cause of Hamas in response to the terror atrocities of October 7. Crazier still is the money backing these malevolent freaks:

The People’s Forum’s operations are made possible in large part by a $12 million donation from Goldman Sachs’s charitable arm. The source of that money is likely Neville Roy Singham, a communist who has “long admired Maoism.”

Mao killed an estimated 65 million Chinese for the sake of his twisted ideology. There are people who want to do the same to us. Not all of them are smelly Antifa goons living off Hot Pockets in their mom’s basement. Some have money, and money is power.

The revolution Tentifada moonbats bark about is for real. Even some of the most demented among them are well financed because this is a revolution from above.

Bidenomics and Hanlon’s Razor

Hanlon’s razor dictates that we should never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity or incompetence. Biden chief economic adviser Jared Bernstein provides support for it:

“Like you said, they print the dollars. So why, why does the government even borrow?” an interviewer asked Bernstein.

If our rulers didn’t borrow or tax but just paid for everything on the leftist wish list through inflation, at least we wouldn’t be on the hook for hundreds of $billions in interest on the national debt.

Bernstein’s learned answer:

“Well, um, the uh … so the … I mean, again, some of this stuff gets — some of the … language that — some of the language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the government definitely prints money and it definitely lends that money, which is why … um … the government definitely prints money and then it lends that money by, uh, by selling bonds. Is that what they do? … They, they uh … they, yeah, they um … they sell bonds … yeah, they sell bonds. Right? Since they sell bonds and then people buy the bonds and lend them the money,” Bernstein said in the documentary, “Finding The Money.”

Unsurprisingly, this disoriented dope has been a major proponent of Bidenomics, as well as Biden’s outrageously unfair policy of defying the Supreme Court by forcing us to pay off other people’s student loans.

Bernstein’s cluelessness is good news. If the Biden Regime is as hostile to America as its Ivy League brain trust and the spittle-spewing Hamas supporters comprising the Democrat base, incompetence may be the only thing slowing down its destruction of the country.

If Men Can Be Women…

…then women can be wild canines:

All things are possible according to an ideology that is literally psychotic.

The objective of the liberal social engineers who contrived and impose this ideology is to reduce society to a mental institution with themselves serving as Nurse Ratched.

Rising Tide of Traditionalism Among US Catholics

Meanwhile, as the liberal establishmentarians staffing the hierarchy blasphemously subvert churches in the interest of moonbattery, the faithful are turning in the opposite direction:

Across the U.S., the Catholic Church is undergoing an immense shift. Generations of Catholics who embraced the modernizing tide sparked in the 1960s by Vatican II are increasingly giving way to religious conservatives who believe the church has been twisted by change, with the promise of eternal salvation replaced by guitar Masses, parish food pantries and casual indifference to church doctrine.

The shift, molded by plummeting church attendance, increasingly traditional priests and growing numbers of young Catholics searching for more orthodoxy, has reshaped parishes across the country, leaving them sometimes at odds with Pope Francis and much of the Catholic world.

Mind this is coming from the leftists at Associated Press.

Despite their growing influence, conservative Catholics remain a minority.

Yet the changes they have brought are impossible to miss. …

Younger priests, surveys show, are far more conservative.

Liberal corrosion has driven down church attendance, leaving only the most devout and laying the groundwork for a backlash against moonbattery.

The days of Catholics tolerating subversion by progressives like Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the blasphemy of blood-drenched pro-abortion militants like Biden and Pelosi being permitted to take communion may be numbered. A church that has lasted 2,000 years can outlast pernicious fads like liberalism.
