Funny, when Democrats ran in 2024 on the assertion that electing Donald Trump would turn the U.S. into Nazi Germany, I didn’t realize that the Left’s response to Trump’s election would be to embrace the most universally acknowledged evil of Hitler’s regime.
In case you haven’t noticed (and why haven’t you, if not?), the evidence of metastasizing anti-Semitism world-wide and in the U.S. as we approach the mid-terms it is alarming, or should be. Yesterday we learned that there was a nearly successful 9-11 style attack on Tel Aviv, foilded by the passengers. Anti-white racist director Spike Lee (everybody loves Spike Lee!) got in a confrontation at Yankee Stadium with a fan who told him “Fuck Palestine!” The acclaimed director of “Do the Right Thing” has revealed himself as a big booster of Hamas, along with a lot of prominent Hollywood progressives like Mark Ruffalo, Susan Saranden, Emma Stone and Tilda Swinton. In a sane America, such anti-Semites would fear that expressing vile views would kill their careers, but, NPR tells us, the nation is “divided.” You know: let Israel be wiped off the map vs. let Jews live.
Huh. Tough choice; let me think.
The international community is substantially anti-Semitic as the United Nations has been demonstrating for a long time, but that condition has worsened substantially since Europe allowed its nations to be overrun with Muslims. And, of course, progressives perpetually argue that the U.S. needs to be more like the rest of the world. The U.N. has consistently condemned Israel as it has fought for its existence in Gaza and Iran. Here is the list of nations whose delegates walked out on Netanyahu’s speech to the General Assembly

Thank you, Jack.
Darn tootin’. This anti-semitism has lurked beneath the surface of U.S. elitism for years. It was always considered among the worst excesses of the far-right but even the left had its bigotry hidden behind prominent far-left secular Jews.
Our host wrote once during the pandemic, asking if it seemed like something was happening here. I agreed then and I agree now. Cultures are aligning on one side or the other. The United States, which once served as a focal point for calm, rational moderacy in the world, is now divided between vocal, but influential, squeaky wheels that make it nearly impossible to move the cogs for all the social issues wedged in there.
Something is happening. Whether you believe we are approaching the End of History, as I suspect we are, or not, we are living in a transformational time.
