6 Degrees of Testicular Separation

Despite all the other problems plaguing our nation, especially the false narrative over our mounted Border Patrol agents, I’m going to examine Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s balls instead.   😬

I mean, the recap the Twitterstorm over Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s testicles.

A couple weeks ago, the sultry rapper found herself at the epicenter of #Ballgate.

Her thought crime?

Going against the leftist Narrative on the Vaxx Mandate.  At one point in the Twitter fire fight, she dared to suggest that people make their own informed decisions regarding the Kung Flu Jab.

Normally, I’d get my schadenfreude fix by watching libtards destroy each other.

However, the overreaction over Nicki’s cousin’s friend’s balls—incurring the wrath of Cancel Culture, along with the Collusion of Big Brother Tech, the Ministry of Truth and the Harris-Biden Regime--is a lesson all of us should pay attention to.

At one point, Nicki Minaj and Tucker Carlson agreed on Covid vaccine mandates, which resulted in the mass meltdown. 

Nor was the Twitterstorm limited to America either.  

Or even Twitter for that matter, as mainstream media outlets vented their outrage.  Government entities also got involved.  Within days, the White House, Trinidad’s Health Minister, and the UK Prime Minister felt compelled to weigh-in.

But Nicki isn’t backing down.

Good for her.

Second Amendment Maven, Liberty Doll, posted her latest video (uploaded 21 Sep 21), #Ballgate: Nicki Minaj, Vaccines & Communist China, which provided an in-depth examination on the chain of events and reactions from the White House on down to the anonymous Twitter trolls. 

True, the claim by Nicki’s cousin’s friend is probably bogus, as mentioned by the commentators in the links provided.  But her concern for people making their own health-care decision was valid, and the all-out effort to silence her is alarming.

Nicki Minaj certainly isn’t a conservative by any means.  However, it doesn’t take a left-leaning person to overdose on an entire bottle of Red Pills for us right-leaning folks to sympathize with her plight.

Just one Red Pill will do.

It certainly won’t change her overall outlook, but at least on we can find common ground with her on the Vaxx Mandate.

One of the issues the Dimtards and their woketard allies fail to recognize is the inconsistency in their Vaxx & Mask messaging.  Instead, they resort to gaslighting.  The flagrant flouting of Vaxx & Mask Mandates by the “sophisticated” crowd isn’t winning-over the Hearts & Minds of the doubtful either.

Which begs the question:  Do the vaccines work, or don’t they?   😷

So you see, when it comes to freedom of choice, speech and expression; one truly isn’t no more than six degrees separated from Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s balls.   😨

Barry O's B-Day Bash Bucked Covid Restrictions

(Image by Margolis & Cox)

 I was going to write about Barry O’s B-Day Bash last week, you know, the “scaled-down” party, the one where the DJ was forced to delete the pictures he posted.

But the breaking news of Gran Moff Cuomo’s resignation superseded the latest in Pandemic double standards.

Ben Shapiro pointed out:  us peasants have to comply with Pandemic Protocols, but our Ruling Class does not.

(Image found on Facebook)

Our nation’s Witch Doctor, Dr. Anthony Kung Flu Fauci, who continually scolds us for having family get-togethers, ran cover for Obama’s Covid Extravaganza, while the non-FOX networks covered for, instead of providing coverage of another flaunting of Pandemic Protocols by Dimtards. 

This hypocrisy is considered “okay” because one is either “sophisticated” or a “super spreader”, and there’s even talk about us having to wear respirators.

(Image by Gary Varvel)

Meanwhile, Our Political Ruling Class is puzzled & frustrated as to why us “super spreader” peasants have no confidence in the media, our government and it’s institutions, especially when they go out of their way to concoct propaganda public service videos like Covid Boy.

Mask Mandate 2.0

(Image by Margolis & Cox)

This past Friday, the DC Swamp reimposed mask mandates even for those vaccinated against the Kung Flu.

Kung Flu Fauci “respectfully disagrees” that masks are “a choice.”.

Well being “respectful” doesn’t help American citizens cope with Mask Mandate 2.0.

So does this mean Zhou Bai Den lied about the possibility of locking-down America for a second time?

(Image by Gary Varvel)

Because Fauci and the CDC (as in Center for Doubt and Confusion) have been so confused or outright lied to us clear and transparent with their proclamations… 

(Image by Bob Gorrell)

GOP members demanded data from a CDC “sowing doubt and confusion” on mask mandates. 

Shortly after the DC Swamp masked-up, the governor of “the other Washington” imposed his own mask-up mandate.

Basically, it’s Masks Forever and woketards claiming a right to “not to get sick.”

Welcome to Covidistan.

(Image by A.F. Branco)

I like Senator “Nick Fury’s” advice to American citizens on the mask mandates (ignore it).

Particularly since there’s at least one report of COVID-positive illegal aliens were released by US Border Patrol into La Joya, TX.

What’s more, is the infected illegals were put up in hotels without informing local authorities. 

Most of us like-minded folks think this is the tip of the Kung-Flu Infected Iceburg.

Of course, when this was called-out by FOX News, (and no other major network), the White House’s Second-String Press Secretary 

dodged the question of why vaccinated Americans still have to wear masks.

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Why indeed?

Especially in light of the latest news from one disease expert:  Most masks don’t work against the Wuhan Flu. 

Meanwhile, Big Brother Tech certainly didn’t let a “good crisis go to waste.”  YouTube suspended SkyNews Australia for the propagating “misinformation.”

But we know the real reason for Forever Mask Mandates and censorship:  

To maintain power & control over us.

Heat Wave in Washington State

(Image from USA Today)

 I haven't blogged about the weather here in WA State for a long time.  

But now we're facing a Heat Wave with today's temperatures peaking near 90 degrees.

Then tomorrow through Monday (26-28 June), temperatures are forecast to be between 101-112 degrees.

Seattle hasn't seen temperatures like this since 2009...

(Image from History Link)

...in fact, I did a quick post about--lost now, somewhere in the Station's archive. 

(Jeez!  Have I been blogging for THIS long!?).

Anyway, the National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Warning for all of Washington State.

People from just about everywhere else in America make fun of us for being unable to "take the heat."

But out here in the Pacific Northwest, fewer homes are airconditioned, but there's a a lot more than there use to be.

No matter where you are in the US this summer--stay cool & hydrated.

Dems & Media "Waking Up" to Wuhan Lab "Conspiracy"

(Image by A.F. Branco)

The Zhou Bai Den Regime is now engaged in a "90 Day Sprint" to understand the origins of the Wuhan Flu.

The Dimtards and their media minions are now frantically updating their lies and considering that maybe--just maybe--the Kung Flu was hatched and escaped from the Wuhan Bio Lab.

This is an issue most (all?) of us right-leaning folks suspected right from the get-go, but was branded a conspiracy theory--until now.

Talk about 14 Months Late and a Yuan Short.

During the last year of The Era of OrangeManBad, the media, Dimtards and "fact checkers" were so deranged and Hell-bent on preventing Our Grand Nagus from winning the 2020 Presidential Election that they were willing to sacrifice investigating the truth, along with the lives and livelihoods of American citizens to ensure Dementia Joe was dragged across the finish line. 

Up until Inauguration Day 2021, the Usual Woketard Suspects were singing the PRC's tune.

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Zhou Bai Den's "New Order" isn't quite standing up tough to China now. 

But they're at least willing to begin investigating the possibility of the Kung Flu being man-made--because the outcome won't have an impact on last year's election.   

In response to the "Biden-Harris" Administration's lukewarm push to investigate the Wuhan Flu's origin, the PRC is pushing back with it's conspiracy theory that the pandemic originated at a US Army post. 

Now that the Facebook Branch of the Ministry of Truth ended the ban asserting the Wuhan Flu was man-made, it's safe to discuss it on America's Social Credit System Lite.

Nor is the reaction to this "sudden" turn around limited to America.  None of the Folks Down Under in the Sky News Australia video Comments Section are enthused about Facebook lifting it's censorship power--for now.

Normally, I'd cheer-on true bi-partisan support.  

However, the unanimous vote in the Senate to declassify information on how the Wuhan Flu started rings hollow to me.

This should have been started over a year ago--well within the actual "...2-4 weeks to flatten the curve..." along with other measures to minimize the impact of both the virus and lockdowns.

But stealing the 2020 Presidential Election was a priority for them at the time.

2020 Presidential Debate Dissection + Breaking News About Trump and First Lady Melania

(Image by A.F. Branco)

I didn’t watch Tuesday night’s debate between Our Grand Nagus and Hidin’ Biden (29 Sep 20) for two reasons.

1. I’m voting for Trump the Usurper, regardless of his performance.  

2. I had a good idea how both parties would behave:  Trump would be brash & obnoxious, while Biden would be vague, flounder and stick to libtard talking points.

(Image by Lisa Benson)

From the post-debate material I’ve been reading and watching, my assessment was fairly accurate.  I even knew the Ministry of Truth would cover for Biden...

(Image by A.F. Branco)

...I just didn’t expect it to occur live, on-stage

Anyway, that’s “my take” on the 1st Presidential Debate of 2020.

If you want to read/watch the detailed post-mortems, here’s a rundown of some of them:

(Image by Mike Lester)

Despite what lies the Ministry of Truth is peddling, Trump murdered Biden on the debate stage. 

So much so, that Commission on Presidential Debates is debating on installing a mic “kill switch.” 

Which we can safely assume will be mostly, or even exclusively, rigged against Trump.

That is, if Biden & his handlers don’t boycott the next two debates.

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Either way, Kalamity Harris is already conducting damage control on Biden’s evasive answer about packing the Supreme Court.

(Image sent to me via Facebook)

Most commentators who watched the entire debate thought it was unbecoming of Our Great Republic.

Derek Hunter thought it was fun watching Biden’s vacant debate style.

Mark Steyn thinks we should have more of such free-for-alls (but Trump should back off enough to let Biden hang himself with a gaffe or three). 

Normally, I don’t care for brash personalities either.  But this is politics and at the risk of sounding melodramatic, the fate of America as we know it is at stake.  

As I’ve half-joked before, American politics have been boring since the Hamilton vs. Burr “debate” of 1804, until Trump announced his presidential bid.

Meanwhile the Ministry of Truth is putting-in overtime crowing about “Biden’s debate victory.”

To which, Tim Pool asked:  If Biden truly won, then why are Democrats trying to change the rules, and even advising Biden to boycott the remaining two debates?

(Image by Margolis and Cox)

Why, indeed?

Despite Our Grand Nagus’ legion of faults, at least he can stand on his own and doesn’t require anyone or anything to prop him up.

Breaking News:  

Just as I finished writing this post, news broke that President Trump and First Lady Melania tested positive for Coronavirus.

It’s way too early to tell what may happen next, but I pray that our President and First Lady recover quickly and completely.

Politicians Too Eager About Edicts

(Image by Pat Cross)

While the Chicoms action to starve American hospitals of medical equipment is unforgivable, the Dimtards aren't letting a "good crisis go to waste."

Last week, CA Governor, Newscum, proclaimed the Chicom Pandemic is an opportunity to ring-in a "new progressive era."

Tiny Rhode Island has gone Full-Police State, while Governor Blackface of Virginia extended the lockdown until the day after the state primary (10 June 2020).

As Liberty Doll said just over two minutes into her Rhode Island video, we're living in every dystopian novel we've ever read.

(Image by Julie Marchese)

Activists are "...acting like teenage girls..." and trying to reclaim the limelight of their causes--climate change, third-wave feminism, and race reparations being the top three.

The shift to Dystopia isn't just occurring in the U.S.  Down Under, Australians are concerned about governments are curtailing cherished freedoms under the guise of public safety.

In the UK, sunbathing is banned (even while social distancing), many Britons feel like they're sleepwalking in a dystopian police state.

Even if we avoid sliding into a dystopian hellscape, we're going to reach a tipping point where the cure is worse than the disease.

When that tipping point will occur/is occurring is debatable.

Last week, Laura Ingraham asked:  What is the Coronavirus doing to us as a people?

This week, Tucker Carlson asked:  How long will the lockdowns last?  While Laura wondered:  When do we get our country back?

When indeed.

But libtards don't care, and have already adapted to a narrative that anyone who is concerned about the shut-down economy wants to see people die.

Besides, they're too busy falling for the latest Kung Flu hoax.

Just like being for secure borders means one is a racist and a 2nd Amendment advocate means one wants to see school kids slaughtered in their classrooms.

So is there some middle ground?

Unreasonable crackdowns risk eroding respect for law enforcement even further.

As with the foundation of America's government, there's a need for checks and balances in combating the Coronavirus.

Or as Kurt Schlichter warns:  Beware of the creeps who enjoy their new pandemic power.

Ministry of Truth Still Spouting the OrangeManBad Narrative

(Image by Michael Ramirez)

Well, it's been clear to everyone who isn't shilling for the Chicoms that China lied from the get-go about the Covid-19 outbreak.

And Chicom government is still lying.

It's lying about their death toll (which could be as high as 42,000 to 46,000).

It's lying about "flattening the curve" of the infection rate.

And it's lying about the defective medical supplies shipped to various European countries.

Not to mention their on-going disinformation/propaganda campaign that the Kung Flu was cooked-up by the U.S. Army.

Now there's speculation that China's continued lying was more than an attempt at "saving face"/CYA (Cover Your Ass).  It was an attempt deliberately wreck every other countries' attempt at combating the outbreak.

The Chicom government has been ably assisted by the Chinese World Health Organization in perpetuating their lies and continues to praise the PRC (and deny the existence of Taiwan).

Meanwhile, here in America, during the on-going economic shutdown and quarantine edicts, it's still all OrangeManBad all the time.

(Image by Tom Stiglich)

From the top: There was two-time presidential candidate loser Hillary Clinton makes a Wu Flu joke while Americans are suffering and dying, and her media sycophants perpetuated the Narrative.

On top of this, the non-FOX News media want Our Grand Nagus' Coronavirus Press Conferences shut down.  There's even a petition going around to get the press conferences cancelled.

Their attempt at painting Trump with "blood on his hands" is backfiring.

True, Our Grand Nagus was slow on the draw--but so was every other world leader, operating on the premise the Chicom government was being honest (but this hasn't stopped the fake news perpetuated by the media).

Yeah, our "super-smart" elite continues to shine during this crisis (while covering for the Chicom government).

(Image by A.F. Branco)

And it's not just the "super-smart" in the media that are propagating Chicom propaganda.  A group of Congressional Dimtards actually believe the Chicom numbers.

Fortunately, the "internet is forever," as there's Nancy Pelosi encouraging San Franciscans to visit Chinatown and Bill DeBlasio encouraging people to gather for Lunar New Year.

(Image found on Facebook)

Despite Dimtards stepping on a rake, and not advocating Social Distancing, the OrangeManBad Narrative not only continues, but has spilled over to anyone actually trying to help--like the My Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell.  Or that Christians in NYC, are building hospitals will "kill gays."

The only curve the Dimtards are interested in flattening is Our Grand Nagus' chance for re-election this November.

(Image by Henry Payne)

They've already launched another investigation.

(Image by A.F. Branco)

And the bad news continues.

The Dimtard Governor of California is looking at the pandemic as an opportunity to create a "new Progressive Era." In other words:  The Coronavirus Tyranny is already upon us.

The Number One aspect of this New Progressive Era is the current heavy-handed attempt at attempting to curb gun sales along with not responding to a plethora of emergency calls.

But if you have the misfortune of living within the People's Democratic Republic of Seattle, one can get arrested for "hate speech" (translation--saying mean things to someone).

Meanwhile, back in Chicomland, the wet markets have re-opened which is a reckless disregard for global obligations.

Despite all the bad news, there's a few silver linings:

Social Justice seems to be waning.

Fringe, wacko positions held by colleges will be completely exposed.

Celebrity culture is collapsing.

True, they're thin silver linings, but we need all the good news we can get.

And at least people are waking up to the threat posed by Communist China.

In the meantime, while we're all sheltering-in-place, stay healthy and stay positive.

(Image by Michael Ramirez)

Update, 0600 hours, 3 April 2020:

Last night WA State governor extended Stay-At-Home order until 4 May.

The growing concern is:  How long can an economic shutdown last?

What's the "New Normal?"

Political Posturing During Pandemic

(Image by: A.F. Branco)

Earlier this week, Congress attempted to provide a stimulus bill in an attempt to mitigate the financial crisis brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic.

("COVID19" meaning:  Chinese Originated Viral Infectious Disease #19).

But of course, the Dimtards didn't want such a monumental crisis to go to waste.  Or to directly quote Reptard James Clyburn:  An opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.

Congress attempted to pass a bi-partisan economic relief package by Sunday (22 March), but the Dimtard Duo of Pelosi & Schumer added more demands, effectively filibustering the bill.

So instead of a single-issue resolution, the Dimtards packed it with a far-left wish list and identity politics.

(Image by Gary Varvel)

Chuckie Schumer tried claiming the bill was a big business bailout, and of course the Ministry of Truth, the NYT-Branch, finagled a fake news headline to cover for the Dimtards.

(Image by Henry Payne)

But most people see through the Dimtards' stabbing Americans in the back--twice.

Mitch McConnell sounded off against the Dimtards, while The Five shredded the Dimtards' derailing the bill--twice.

Now to be "fair & balanced," ever since the Era of HopeandChange, I'm a bit leary of "stimulus packages."  Especially since our nation is already trillions of dollars in debt.

So the trick is to starve the virus not the economy.

(Image by Michael Ramirez)

Either way, the "optics" make the Dimtards look bad--or to us like-minded folks--worse than they already are.

Chances are the Dimtards will be obliterated this November, because they're really bad people.

(Image by Henry Payne)

And speaking of the 2020 Presidential Election, Our Grand Nagus' rival, Sleepy/Creepy Joe Biden was conspicuously absent from the public for about a full week of this pandemic pandemonium...

PC Overrules Pandemic Concerns

(Image from:  Military Humor)

I've been meaning to write about the latest developments in the Chinese Coronavirus Pandamic earlier and more extensively, but last weekend I came down with the flu.

Then four of my coworkers got sick.

I ended up having to get screened--twice--just to make sure I didn't have the Chinese Coronavirus.  The current protocols used by medical facilities are that if someone tests positive for flu, then they don't have the Chinese Coronavirus.

But apparently this "either/or" logic is being hotly debated.

I'm still getting over the effects of--whatever it is I got.

Even if I were healthy, the repercussions of this pandemic are unprecedented in our lifetime--from school closures, business closures, city lockdowns, border closures, panic buying, hoarding and price-gouging--are too overwhelming for me to cover the full details about the Chinese Coronavirus.

Which, according to the media minions suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, is a racist term.  Not to mention "Wuhan Virus," or even the "Kung Flu."

Because maintaining political correctness overrides national, even worldwide, public safety.

Libtards like Stephan Colbert are trying to gaslight Americans into thinking news agencies only called it "Covid-19."  (Be sure to watch the MRC TV video embedded in the article).

But as Ben Shapiro reminds us:  The Coronavirus is the "Chinese Virus."

The Chinese government lied about the outbreak from the beginning and destroyed evidence of its origin.

And thanks the work of the globalists, this isn't the first time China's poisoned America.  There's also a lot we don't know about the Chinese Coronavirus.

At least Our Grand Nagus has the courage to slam China's disinformation campaign that the virus was created by the US military, especially since he's warning us about China, even before he was elected.

I wish I could say the same about the libtard media who are taking China's side and are more concerned about identity politics than the health and safety of innocent people.

Hopefully, fewer of us will contract the illness than is currently estimated, our lives and livelihoods won't be too severely impacted, and we'll all learn the right lessons.

The Coronavirus Pandemic Panic

(Image by:  A.F. Branco)

I've been off duty from my job at Washington State Emergency Management for the past several days.  So I'm not sure what I'll be "walking into" when I go back to work later this week, especially since our governor declared a state of emergency.  In the meantime, I've been getting a lot of word-of-mouth reports.

During my staycation, one of my close friends informed me of the first Coronavirus death in the US (now up to 9 in WA State), while at lunch on Saturday.

Then as the work-week began, there was a run on various stores in my local area.  Friends at the local gym told me shelves were devoid of all sorts of goods.  Bottled water, bread, cleaning wipes and hand sanitizer were popular--and now scarce--items.

Good thing I learned to have small stockpiles of things for times like this.

While shoppers were stripping the store shelves bare, Our Grand Nagus increased the staffing of the Coronavirus Task Force.

But the Dimtards and their mouthpieces at the Ministry of Truth aren't "...letting a good crisis go to waste."

In the Coronavirus Case--blame Trump.

China isn't the only one lying about the Coronavirus.

 Politico attempted to spread fake news about Our Grand Nagus calling the disease itself a hoax (false).

(Image by Bob Gorrell)

 I certainly don't know how widespread the disease will get, but we're certainly going from hysteria to hysteria.

While tens of thousand have fallen ill and thousands have died worldwide, here in the US, Coronavirus causes stupidity to go viral.

As of now, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has had a larger negative impact on our country than the Coronavirus--

--Like the Deep Stater(s) that allowed infected Americans to be flown back to the US.

--Or this Denver councilwoman threatening to attend MAGA rallies if she becomes infected.

--Or in the case of the Seattle Politburo, ignoring how the homeless population could exacerbate the situation.

But like most crises, this didn't occur overnight--or even at the initial outbreak.

Mass immigration from--and offshoring to--Communist China has left us vulnerable on multiple levels.

(Image by: A.F. Branco)

And this isn't the first time either: There was SARS in 2003.

We can't trust China to make dog food ingredients that won't sicken our pets, let alone be truthful about the nature an origins of one of their contagions.

Meanwhile, it looks like FEMA is preparing for a nation-wide emergency declaration.

But for those who believe Bolshevik Bernie's campaign promise of Free Healthcare For All, there's this cautionary tale of when the system fails you.

In the meantime, take the usual sensible and typical flu-related health precautions.

San Francisco Sanitizes Language Instead of Streets

(Image by Tom Stiglich)

San Francisco's Politburo took steps to clean up their city's image.

But instead of actually doing the dirty work of cleaning up the feces and discarded drug needles on the city streets, the Politburo employed Orwellian Newspeak in the hopes no one would notice the filth.

From now on "convicted felons" will be known as "justice involved persons," along with other crime lingo getting sanitized.

Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire declared San Fran took one step further into insanity.

And as Styxhexenhammer observed sanitizing language isn't helpful to the "justice involved persons."

Just another example of the Clown World us "non-justice involved persons" live in.

San Franshithole

(Image by Michael Ramirez)

Last week, the San Francisco Politburo voted to allow non-citizens, even illegal aliens to vote in school board elections.

Three minutes into Dave Cullens' How Is This A Thing (21 July 2018), he points out that once again that leftists fail to understand that illegal immigration--is illegal.

But being a sanctuary city is just one problem the City By the Bay is experiencing.

Paul Joseph Watson went one step further than Dave Cullen, and declared San Francisco is a shithole.

City By the Cesspool?

San Franshitole?

Not the kind of names that will attract tourists, to be sure, but no amount of whitewashing can cover up what's now common knowledge--or the smell.

Denied Travel for Terminally ill

(Image by Mike Lester)

I usually don't comment on end-of-life/right-to-die issues.  It's too hot of a hot-button issue for me to handle, with a solid-grey overcast moral issues.

It's one thing for a contentious debate to erupt over what's the most humane course of action (or inaction) to take for someone who's terminally ill.

It's quite another for a government to deny a terminally ill person the right to travel outside the country, where help is offered.

Such was the case of Alfie Evans (2016-2018), the British infant who died this past Saturday.

Mark Steyn asked:  Life belongs only to the strong?

Ashton Birdie, I YouTuber I recently stumbled across, discussed the truth about the UK's "free" healthcare.

Not only did Her Majesty's Government deny the Evans family a chance to travel elsewhere to help their ailing son, but Merseyside Police will be monitoring social media--and may act--against those expressing their displeasure over this tragedy

I take some comfort that I'm an American posting within our nation's borders.

However, our borders, and my right to post any wrongthink seems to get iffier and iffier by the day.

The Ebbing Away of Empathy

(Image from Houston Style Magazine's article:  4 Reasons Your Phone Is Stopping You From Finding Your Soulmate)

Valentine's Day is two days away.

And yet, instead of today's technology bringing us closer together, it seems to be exacerbating the political social divides we have among each other--even between soulmates.

David Cullen, the tech savvy host of Computing Forever, warned about the growing smartphone (and social media) addiction.

That was five years ago--and before the mass emotional meltdowns after the 2016 Presidential Election.

Now, he observes there's an Internet Empathy Deficit.

He's not the only one.

Mark Steyn, in his Among the Empathizers video points out that today's virtue-signalling snowflakes not only lack empathy towards those they currently disagree with, but also towards people in the past, who lived under different circumstances.

Which leads to ding-bat decisions like this:  Duluth schools drop "Huckleberry Finn," and "To Kill A Mockingbird" from its curriculum.

I've often commented on how Orwellian our society is becoming. 

I wonder at what point will we reach Fahrenheit 451?
