I liked her better when she was Jewish — certainly, she looked better

Question for Whinger: if this man, or any other person here on a visa were found to have participated in the Jan 6 frolics, would you still support their “right” of free speech and protest their deportation? If you can't answer “yes”, and you'd be lying if you did , then shut up, get off the streets and go home.

Debra Whinger “unlearns being Jewish”

Oscar-nominated actress Debra Winger sounded off about having a “debt to pay” for her Jewish upbringing as she joined last week’s Trump Tower protest over the arrest of anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil.

“I was brought up Jewish, I was brought up with a lot of things that were untrue,” said Winger, 69, to Al Jazeera outside President Trump’s Midtown East tower Thursday, when nearly 100 demonstrators were arrested in the protest in defense of the Columbia University activist.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of the movies she was in, but I’ve seen her name over the decades and had a vague impression that she was a good looking actress who was known as a whinger on set. Both true, apparently, but hardly worth wasting valuable pixels on, except that the coffee’s still brewing, and the “who is she now” picture above caught my eye — whoa, Nelly.

FROM THIS:

The stated goal is "the total eradication of western civilization" * and England is leading the way

she called it long ago; sadly, this destruction is not confined to Britain:

“Also in 2021, it was reported that a growing number of 'woke' academics are refusing to teach Shakespeare in U.S. schools, arguing that the Bard promotes racism, white supremacy and intolerance, and instead are pushing for the teaching of 'modern' alternatives.”

Grateful Calvin:

It is impossible to overstate the influence that William Shakespeare has had on this world. While the Bible is considered the best-selling book of all time, there is no question that Shakespeare is the best-selling author of all time. Somewhere between two to four billion of his works have been sold. Thousands upon thousands of live productions of his 37 plays have been and continue to be performed, not to mention the many film and television adaptations of those plays. His 154 sonnets are studied to this day for their themes, including love, mortality, youth, and death. And his plays have been translated into every major living language on the planet. 

You would think that the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which owns many buildings in the English town of Stratford-upon-Avon, would be beaming with pride every day for the legendary writer that the small market town produced in 1564.

Sadly, with the state of the United Kingdom these days, you would be very, very wrong. This morning, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust announced that they would be 'decolonizing' the town out of fears of 'white supremacy.'

The Daily Mail has additional details.

William Shakespeare's birthplace will be de-colonised over fears that portraying his success as the 'greatest' playwright 'benefits the ideology of white European supremacy'.

It wants to 'create a more inclusive museum experience' and announced it will move away from Western perspectives after concerns were raised that Shakespeare's ideas were used to advance 'white supremacy' ideas. 

The trust also said that some of its items could contain language or depictions that are racist, sexist, or homophobic.

These insane accusations are primarily arising from a 2022 research project that the trust conducted with Birmingham University. They found that holding Shakespeare up as the pinnacle of literature (which he is and always will be) caused 'harm' and advised that the trust stop referring to him as 'greatest.' Instead, they recommended referencing Shakespeare as part of an 'equal but different' global community of writers.

Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson, 71, is a classics scholar, historian, professor, political commentator, rancher, and about the most intelligent person I’ve read or heard in years. His story of what happened to him recently in the San Francisco airport exemplifies what’s going on in our country, and the thug and morons who are perpetrating it:

Hansen had disembarked and was walking towards the baggage retrieval area when, in his words, I noticed a person loitering on the side of the corridor, someone I assumed was an Antifa-type: skinny, white, mid-twenties, and dressed entirely in black”. As Hanson was walking, he suddenly heard running foot steps behind him and before he could turn around, the Antifa goon smashed him in the back of head, hard, kept running, and raced down the stairs and out of sight.

Presumably, this coward returned to the squalid rental quarters he shares with other members of his gang of heros to boast of his assault on “The Man”, his triumph over a man with ten-times his intelligence and accomplishments, and two or three times his age.

The thought that these people are tolerated, even applauded by a huge percentage of this country’s leftists is infuriating, and disgusting.

Here are some other examples of the ongoing deterioration of our society:

Most disturbing, perhaps, but the attack on DVH is the most despicable:

Birx’s excitement is driven in part because in her mind, she was playing the (very) long game: Dr. Birx Praises Herself While Revealing Ignorance, Treachery, and Deceit:

Recall that for the remainder of the year, the White House was urging normalcy while many states kept locking down. It was an incredible confusion. The CDC was all over the map. I gained the distinct impression of two separate regimes in charge: Trump’s vs. the administrative state he could not control. Trump would say one thing on the campaign trail but the regulations and disease panic kept pouring out of his own agencies.

Birx admits that she was a major part of the reason, due to her sneaky alternation of weekly reports to the states.

After the heavily edited documents were returned to me, I’d reinsert what they had objected to, but place it in those different locations. I’d also reorder and restructure the bullet points so the most salient—the points the administration objected to most—no longer fell at the start of the bullet points. I shared these strategies with the three members of the data team also writing these reports. Our Saturday and Sunday report-writing routine soon became: write, submit, revise, hide, resubmit. 

Fortunately, this strategic sleight-of-hand worked. That they never seemed to catch this subterfuge left me to conclude that, either they read the finished reports too quickly or they neglected to do the word search that would have revealed the language to which they objected. In slipping these changes past the gatekeepers and continuing to inform the governors of the need for the big-three mitigations—masks, sentinel testing, and limits on indoor social gatherings—I felt confident I was giving the states permission to escalate public health mitigation with the fall and winter coming.

As another example, once Scott Atlas came to the rescue in August to introduce some good sense into this wacky world, he worked with others to dial back the CDC’s fanatical attachment to universal and constant testing. Atlas knew that “track, trace, and isolate” was both a fantasy and a massive invasion of people’s liberties that would yield no positive public-health outcome. He put together a new recommendation that was only for those who were sick to test – just as one might expect in normal life.

After a week-long media frenzy, the regulations flipped in the other direction.

Birx reveals that it was her doing:

This wasn’t the only bit of subterfuge I had to engage in. Immediately after the Atlas-influenced revised CDC testing guidance went up in late August, I contacted Bob Redfield…. Less than a week later, Bob [Redfield] and I had finished our rewrite of the guidance and surreptitiously posted it. We had restored the emphasis on testing to detect areas where silent spread was occurring. It was a risky move, and we hoped everyone in the White House would be too busy campaigning to realize what Bob and I had done. We weren’t being transparent with the powers that be in the White House…

Her Body, THEIR Choice: Illinois School Admins FORCE Girls to Change in Front of a Boy

In Illinois, three school administrators at a Deerfield middle school reprimanded girls who complained about a boy in their gym locker room and then took the girls back to the locker room to force them to change in front of the boy.

After receiving a complaint from girls in early February that a boy was in their locker room while they were changing for gym class, District 109 ‘Assistant Superintendent for Student Services’ Joanna Ford, ‘Assistant Principal,’ Cathy Van Treese and ‘Director for Student Services’ Ginger Logemann reprimanded the girls, then escorted them to the locker room and tried to force them to change in front of the boy.” - Lake County Gazette

(Looks like a legitimate story, unfortunately. I checked, and found the original Lake County Gazette article here.)
