Steve Bannon has been saying this phrase lately. It's great morale building stuff for the republican leaning people out there. To a degree, Bannon has a point. This midterm 2022 election cycle will be really interesting. 100 "D" seats turning "R"? We'll see about that.
Meanwhile, things are spinning in that direction.
The hyper politically correct woke DNC, with their minions in the Corporate Press (MSNBCCNN et al.), mid level press (Media Matters), and NPC's on social media, have trained The Herd to mindlessly repeat what they're told:
One of the side effects of having millions of NPC's brainlessly support the Current Thing is that you sometimes paint yourself into a corner. If you allow a man to beat a woman in a pool, there will be a large group of feminists who actually pay attention to women's place in society, and the encroachment of men on their turf.
Unfortunately for the woke oddballs who believe that men are women, men can get pregnant, and men can compete in women's sports if they 'feel' like changing their gender, there are a few generations of real women who aren't ok with that.
Fox had an interesting clip showing 'radical' feminists protesting against the man who beat the women at the NCAA championships. They talk about being politically homeless and walking away from the Democratic Party.
Maybe Bannon will be right. Left unsaid is: will the republicans who decimate the democrats be the standard RNC types who are there to gracefully lose, or will they be Trumpian Republicans who are nationalistic and anti woke?
Get your popcorn, because midterms 2022 will be a show:

Irving refused to get the BUG19 Juice. This meant he wasn't allowed to play any games in NYC. He could play in cities that didn't have the mandates. He could sit behind the bench at home games. He just couldn't play. That, in these times, qualifies as "science". It qualifies as "sound public health policy" (insert clown face emoji here).
Irving repeatedly and calmly explained to reporters that he didn't want to get the vaxx, and that he wasn't going to get it. As things moved forward, he methodically explained that it made even less sense to get it as someone with all the vaxxes and all the boosters could still get CV19. It was interesting watching white liberal sports reporters' heads explode during these conversations. These are men who who have been trained to never say a bad word about a black man like Kyrie Irving. Ever. Every utterance is gospel. Then, along comes Kyrie blasting apart the vax Narrative, logically explaining his reasons why he wasn't going to get the Experimental Gene Therapy.
The members of the ticket taking Laptop Class were vexed by Irving's actions. Paid shill Stephen A. Smith continually called Irving "selfish". Because you're not allowed to call Irving bad names, some reporters would quietly bring up that Irving had mentioned that he'd thought about Flat Earth Theory.
None of it worked. They even tried the guilt trip method when mega star ultra smooth scoring machine Kevin Durant went down with an injury. If you listen hard enough, you can hear the reporter's soul crying out in pain as Irving quietly explains his vaccine hesitancy:
Irving held out, as anyone with not only the conviction that Irving had, but also the $159 million in prior pre-tax earnings he's sitting on. He was always holding all the cards. Ten toes down, Irving never wavered.
This being NYC, the Public Sector Unions are justifiably livid that a wealthy superstar can now go back to work, whereas well over 1000 unionized workers were fired because they wouldn't get the Vacation.
“Talented detectives with irreplaceable experience were lost because of the mandate,” DiGiacomo said. “Athletes and performers more important during a crime wave than NYPD detectives?”
If you ask former 'mayor' diBlah, the answer would be an immediate "yes!"
We will see how this mess plays out. The NYPD detectives have a case.

You heard that right. Whatever gravitas the USA had, is gone.
Saudi Arabia AND the UAE are not even picking up the phone.
Mr. Doshi goes further back than most in analyzing the problem:
"The slide in U.S. prestige in the Middle East may be traced to President Obama’s two-term reign. The cornerstone of his foreign policy sought to distance the US from its traditional Arab Gulf allies as well as Israel to “normalize” Iran in the region. Obama forced through the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal with Iran that gave it access to over $100 billion, of which $1.8 billion in untraceable cash was flown into Tehran. This, it was thought, would allow the US to extricate itself from its Middle East security commitments and seal President Obama’s foreign policy legacy.
The appeasement of Iran by President Obama’s administration, seen by the moderate Gulf Arab states as little short of betrayal, is pursued by the Biden administration (“Obama 2.0”) with even greater zeal. Among President Biden’s earliest Executive Orders was one which rescinded the “terrorist organization” designation imposed by the Trump administration on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen to push rapprochement with Iran. This led within weeks to a spate of missile and drone attacks by the Houthis in Saudi Arabia. In January, the Houthis carried out an attack with missiles and drones on Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE. The recent attacks on Abu Dhabi are the most serious escalation of tensions in the Arabian peninsula since the drone and missile attack carried out on critical Saudi Aramco oil facilities in September 2019 which was also claimed by the Houthis."
The current fake administration doesn't seem to understand how things work. I realize that the Leftist NWO zeal to destroy the once proud United States is paramount. However, this is simply cloddish and stupid policy. Not only is this current administration dedicated to "fighting climate change", they are pissing off America's main oil suppliers by encouraging their enemies.
Irina Slav nails the current problem from a slightly different angle:
"This is not a good place to be for a government that bet on a fast transition away from fossil fuels. It is an especially bad place to be in an election year. No wonder, then, that the Biden administration is ready and willing to offer an olive branch to the industry it has pointedly been working against since the start of Biden’s term. It also appears ready to offer an olive branch to countries such as Venezuela and Iran, both sanctioned by the previous administration and with sanctions upheld by this one. Talk about U-turns
At home, the Keystone XL cancellation, which took place on Biden’s first day as U.S. president, the federal land drilling moratorium, the annulment of an oil and gas lease sale that the Department of Interior was more or less forced to hold despite its unwillingness, and the cancellation of another lease sale were all clear signals that the Biden administration will not work with the oil and gas industry… until it had to."
So we are now in a place where not only have the companies that supply America with energy been hamstrung because a teenage girl with a crooked face said 'how dare you!', but also at a time where the president of the United States phone calls don't get answered.
Things are going to get interesting and expensive. As Irina Slav ends her article: "...if you’ve ever been cold you’d know that when the temperatures drop ideology and climate change anxiety die very quickly."

Owen Benjamin is the undisputed heavyweight champion, in all weight classes, for Most Banned Celebrity.
He's made the point over the past few years that the real disease out there, the one that works, the one for which there is an easy and affordable cure, is fear. They use it on good regular people, and they get those good regular people to make awful decisions, ruin their lives, obliterate their families (or not start families in the first place), and keep them focused on destructive nonsense.
In my public speaking class, we are at the stage where we are looking at people making an argument. In an era of 'viruses', 'diseases', 'germs', and 'contagions', it was particularly appropriate to analyze Benjamin's argument that they've constantly peddled fear via Time Magazine, and that fear and its concomitant despair are the real diseases.
"From Upstate New York to Hollywood to the country of Idaho, Owen Benjamin has been on quite the journey. Known as many names including the 'Big Bear' and 'Bard King of Beartaria', Owen leads a inspiring life of truth and adventure.
Owen Benjamin was born Owen Smith to John Kares Smith and Jean Troy-Smith, both professors at State University of New York at Oswego. He attended college at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh where he started performing standup comedy and also got his start in television at the student run station Plattsburgh State Television."
Here is one of the tweets that got Mr. Benjamin banned for life from Twitter:
This video on fear, and how it is weaponized and then used to keep you afraid, was on YouTube before it was erased. After watching it, please answer the following discussion questions:
What is Benjamin's point about fear? Explain how he uses the covers, and their publication dates, to get his point across.
Owen Benjamin shows how Time Corp. uses pathos (emotion) to keep the population in a state of fear. In your opinion and using the evidence presented by Mr. Benjamin, what are they doing to society, and why?
Does Owen Benjamin present a compelling case in his argument? By using repetition, humor, and logos, did he get you to think differently about Corporate Media in general or Time Magazine specifically?
Nobody under the age of 70 reads Time anymore (if it even exists). What are the venues that are used now to disseminate this type of messaging?
EXTRA: Are there any particular ways in which the black community has been 'kept in a state of fear'? - things unique for communities like ours?

Won't see Gonzaga games until THEY change the policy.
Won't compromise.
Jason Whitlock interviewed John Stockton today. Stockton is the kind of person who represents what citizens of These United States used to look up to.
During the interview, Stockton showed he is well informed on the plandemic and all of the trappings surrounding it. Whitlock asked him pointed, direct questions about what he thought and believed about the response to CV19, and the 'virus' itself. Turns out John Stockton knows about all of the medical issues surrounding the Juice, the deaths of many soccer players in Europe, the side effects reported here, and the work of Dr. Robert Malone.
He spoke about those issues clearly, without hesitation, without getting emotional, and in a manner that was mature and admirable. While I was listening to Stockton, I juxtaposed the kind of person who believes that people should be forced to take a vax, and / or wear a mask. His demeanor, conviction, clarity and purpose spoke volumes, while the people out there who want to run everyone's lives and cancel anyone with views they don't like look stupid, vain, and foolish to me.
The divide growing in the USA seems to be between people who want to be left alone, and those who won't leave anyone alone.
Stockton played with Karl Malone for many seasons. Malone was called "The Mailman". Now it's even more clear that Stockton was the Postmaster General.
From Jason Whitlock's "Fearless" YouTube channel:
"NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton joins the show to give his side of the controversy with his alma mater. How did the maskless ban with Gonzaga — where his son was on the team — actually play out? Why does the Utah Jazz legend have such strong beliefs about the COVID jab? How does he feel about the way Kyrie Irving and Aaron Rodgers were portrayed for their decisions on the COVID injection? Is it true that his other son nearly got caught up in the war in Ukraine? How does Stockton’s Catholic faith influence the way he lives his life, on and off the court? Plus, in a teaser for Wednesday’s second interview, Stockton talks about the first time he saw Isiah Thomas play in high school."

I had a student, this was probably around 2011, tell me: "Mister, it's all about the likes". I thought it was a funny comment at the time, the musings of a teenager who had caught the temporary zeitgeist. Surely the idea of getting 'likes' would fade as an ephemeral digital phase that would soon be replaced by the next thing.
Whoops.
The quest for likes, upvotes, and other forms of digital affirmation has metastasized into a kind of mania. I used to see it on FBook, where people would say or do the dumbest things, and get zillions of likes. One of the dumbest was the 'ice bucket challenge', where people would dump an ice bucket over their heads in solidarity over raising money for ALS awareness. How about just donating money? When Bill Gates is leading the way 'raising awareness', any room temperature or above American should have sat up and questioned the whole thing. I wonder which Big Pharma drugmaker won out with all of that Ice Bucket money?
See what I mean? All anyone had to do was think a little bit and ask a few questions.
But no, when people filmed themselves getting doused by an ice bucket, you got "stunning and brave!", positive comments, and tons of likes.
It has never stopped. If you're on social media, and you push whatever the latest Progressive Feelz based fad happens to be in play, you get likes, comments, and good dopamine feelz. This unrelenting and thoughtless sociology experiment has gotten to the point where people are getting hurt. Owen Benjamin got booted off of twitter for, among other things, calling out some NPR dolt for bragging that his 5yr old son was 'trans', and crowing about how he was going to get hormone treatments for his son - soon to be daughter. Benjamin rightly called it child abuse. The normies called it 'stunning and brave', and hit 'like'.
Paul Joseph Watson goes into the latest iteration of this brain disease - the phenomenon of foreigners going to Ukraine to fight for democracy. Yes, there are people who are so addled by social media that they go into a hot war so they can post it on their feeds. Because these 'people' are so divorced from reality, they are shocked that they are treated shabbily, unwelcome, hurt, or killed.
PJW says it better than I do. It's unbelievable:

Joel Salatin spoke to them a few months ago. If you don't get 2 or 3 great insights from this interview, the problem is within YOU.
From the Alfa Vedic Channel:
"Joel Salatin calls himself a Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer. Others who like him call him the most famous farmer in the world, the high priest of the pasture, and the most eclectic thinker from Virginia since Thomas Jefferson. Those who don’t like him call him a bio-terrorist, Typhoid Mary, charlatan, and starvation advocate.
His wide-ranging topics include nitty-gritty how-to for profitable regenerative farming as well as cultural philosophy like orthodoxy vs. heresy. A wordsmith and master communicator, he moves audiences from laughs one minute to tears the next, from frustration to hopefulness. He co-owns, with his family, Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia. Featured in the New York Times bestseller Omnivore’s Dilemma and award-winning documentary Food Inc.
When he’s not on the road speaking, he’s at home on the farm, keeping the callouses on his hands and dirt under his fingernails, mentoring young people, inspiring visitors, and promoting local, regenerative food and farming systems."
