[Babylon Bee] As part of an ever-progressing military, a new feature has been added to the next line of M1 Abrams tanks: a diaper changing table.
"The horrors of war have often been unfriendly to the busy mom on the go," said Department of Defense spokesman Clayton Brown. "Our mission is to change things so pregnant women and working moms all feel welcome in our quagmires in the Middle East and have opportunities to blow up the locals with depleted uranium shells."
In addition to the changing table, each new tank will also be slightly larger in order to fit a private lounge for breastfeeding. So far, women in the military love the new components. "It’s really great as a mom to have these additional features," said Private Lorraine Hodges, though she said the tank isn’t great for small children since it’s "very noisy" and "constantly under attack."
The new tanks should be deployed worldwide very soon, as many hotspots aren’t doing very well since backup troops had to be rerouted to rebut Tucker Carlson on Twitter.

As long as the new tanks are trans and homo friendly. Breeders can't take all the glory.
[Townhall] If one were to draw up a list of human needs, food and shelter would be at the top.
With great respect to Freudians, sex would not be No. 2.
The need for meaning would be second only to the need for food.
That meaning is more important to happiness than sex is easily shown. A great many people go long periods without sex, and while many of them miss it, if they have meaning in their lives, they can lead quite happy and fulfilling lives. On the other hand, few people who have regular sex but lack meaning are happy or fulfilled.
Third on the list of human needs is the need to feel important. This need is much less often cited than the need for food, sex and meaning. But it is so important that a case could be made that it is tied for No. 2 with the need for meaning.
The infamous "midlife crisis" is a crisis of importance: "I thought I would be much more important at this stage in life than I am." That mostly afflicts men -- just as feeling less important after one's children have left home afflicts mothers more than fathers.
Among the many psycho-social crises afflicting Americans is a crisis of importance. Fewer Americans feel important than did Americans in the past.
Why? What has happened?
What has happened is a steep decline in the number of institutions that gave people a feeling of importance.
Given that work is generally regarded as one of the most ubiquitous providers of purpose, and that, prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, more Americans were working than ever before, one would think that more Americans than ever before felt important.
It has not turned out that way. For many, work has not provided the sense of importance people expected it to, let alone fulfilled the other great need: for meaning. This is especially true for women, but first, we will address men.
Work used to provide many men with a sense of importance. It is simply a fact that being the breadwinner for a family means one is important. However, since the 1970s and the rise of feminism, women have not only become breadwinners, but they have increasingly become the primary breadwinner within a marriage and for a family. That has helped couples financially, but it has also deprived a great many men of their sense of importance. When regarded by a wife and children as important, husbands/fathers felt important. Progressive America mocks the 1950s TV series "Father Knows Best." But when wives and children believed that, men felt important because they were. The price for this, according to feminism, was paid by women, who didn't receive the accolades of breadwinning. And they set about changing it.
Yet, to progressives, government is, or should be, almost everything in people's lives. It should take care of as many people as possible. However, at a massive price: The more one relies on the government, the more one will inevitably lack a sense of importance.
This ideal was announced at the 2012 Democratic Party Convention, when the narrator of a specially-created Barack Obama campaign-theme video asserted, "Government is the only thing that we all belong to." The DNC also showed a fictional storybook ad titled "The Life of Julia." It portrayed a woman from childhood to old age, wholly dependent on the government. Despite her having a child, there was not a man anywhere in the story, nor, apparently, was there a man in her life. The result? More and more American women have come to rely on the government, not on a husband. The results have been calamitous.
President Joe Biden repeated this theme last week: "Put trust and faith in our government," he pleaded with Americans. One could accurately say that we are replacing America's motto, "In God We Trust," with, "In Government We Trust."
The bigger the government, the fewer the institutions in which people can feel important. Therefore, given the deep human need to feel important, people will look elsewhere for their importance -- like fighting systemic racism, heteronormativity, capitalism, patriarchy and transphobia. And, most of all, global warming -- because you cannot feel more important than when you believe you are saving the world.

Therefore, given the deep human need to feel important, people will look elsewhere for their importance....
"Looking elsewhere" (avoid examining the governmental process) is the goal of government. Simply stay within your row and continue to pick. Important, like-minded people, people within the beltway, the media, and Hollywood will decide your concerns and needs.
Young people awaiting birth, and old people waiting to pass on are not important. Only the deciders are important.

RE #3: While government may be a necessary evil, keeping it limited in scope is essential. All governments tend to grow, in order to expand and feel even more important. Keeping it trimmed back is the constant work of patriots. It hasn't worked well since the beginning of the 20th century, and the government we have now is the result. We need a MAJOR pruning, perhaps even some uprooting and clearing, in order to return to what little government we truly need.

Being Karen makes you feel important. Worrying about the environment, systemic racism and pronouns makes you feel important. It’s a form of morality you can take refuge in after abandoning everything of real importance.
[American Thinker] Traditional American values have long been under attack by social justice warriors, cultural Marxists advancing the insidious tenets of critical theory. Their "long march through the institutions" has infiltrated schools, universities, entertainment, the mass media, the courts, politics, and beyond. One might assume that business, adhering to the Milton Friedman doctrine of maximizing returns for shareholders, would be insulated from their malign agenda. But that assumption is no longer valid, according to Stephen Soukup’s recent book The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business. He illuminates how ’progressive’ forces have insinuated themselves into regulatory agencies, the finance industry, and corporate America, jeopardizing capital markets and the free-market system itself.
The book traces the genesis of American progressivism to Richard Ely (1854-1943) of Johns Hopkins University. Believing in a confused amalgam of religion, socialism, white superiority, and a paternalistic state, Ely advocated that the state should be harnessed to fix social problems like poverty, alcoholism, racial tension, and child labor in G-d’s name. He never presented himself as a socialist, but believed G-d works through the state, which should heal the ills of capitalism through labor reform and compulsory education. With little faith in the canaille to vote in society’s and their own best interests, he favored a "third way": employing professional administrators to manage society rationally, guard against laissez-faire economics, and make socialism unnecessary. This new progressivism looked at the American state as the natural, necessary "administrator" of civic life.
Political scientist Dwight Waldo, the defining figure of modern public administration, refined Ely’s ideas and propounded that public servants should be "value advocates," "agent of change," and stewards of "social equity, democratic administration, and proactive, non-neutral public administration." Voters and their elected representatives were to be superseded by unelected, unaccountable experts -- with ostensibly better values than the people. Though it was seen as being in violation of the Constitution, Waldo wanted a central bank with an administrative elite controlling monetary policy to maintain stability.
Soukup goes on to explain how contemporary left-leaning liberalism elevates these ideas of working through institutions. While Marx presumed that history was about economic conflict, the Italian communist philosopher Antonio Gramsci argued that the key struggle was cultural. To inspire revolution and liberate the working class, it was necessary to vanquish the church and other enablers of bourgeois culture. Herbert Marcuse, a key figure of the Frankfurt School and proclaimed father of the New Left, fused Marx, Gramsci, and Freud to conclude that capitalism crushed human capacity for creativity, spontaneity, critical thought, and oppositional behavior. The Frankfurt School became the spark for Cultural Marxism to shift its focus to Critical Theory, which aims to critique power structures and undo the cultural and psychological hegemony of the bourgeois. This philosophy paved the way for the 1960s’ radical student movement. It was these alienated youths who initiated the subversion of the American university. The idea that traditional American culture was a selfish and inhibiting bourgeois false reality took hold in academia. The "march through the institutions" had begun, spreading from the universities to the professions and other domains.
[PaulHJossey] The Nazis were leftists. This statement is blasphemy to the academic-media complex. Everyone knows the Nazis were degenerate right-wingers fueled by toxic capitalism and racism. But evidence Hitler’s gang were men of the left while debatable is compelling. The dispute on Nazi origins has surfaced through the confluence of brawling alt-right and antifa fringe movements and recent alternative histories by Dinesh D’Souza and others. The vitriol and lack of candor this debate produces by supposedly fact-driven academics and media is disturbing if unsurprising. They stifle dissent on touchy subjects to maintain narrative and enforce cultural hegemony. National Socialists
However uncomfortable to opinion shapers, alternative views of the Third Reich exist and were written by the finest minds of their time. Opinions of the period perhaps carry more weight because they are unburdened by the aftermath of the uniquely heinous Nazi crimes. ’The Road to Serfdom’ by FA Hayek is one such tract. Published in 1944 it remains a classic for young people on the political right discovering their intellectual roots. A sort of academic ’1984,’ it warns of socialism’s tendency toward planned states and totalitarianism.
But one aspect of the book can shock the conscience. Hayek describes Nazism as a "genuine socialist movement" and thus left wing by modern American standards. Indeed, the Austrian-born Hayek wrote the book from his essay ’Nazi-Socialism’ that countered prevailing opinion at the London School of Economics where he taught. British elites regarded Nazism as a virulent capitalist reaction against enlightened socialism — a view that persists today.

Arguing whether Nazism is a "right-wing" or "left-wing" project with people who believe murder of innocents (abortion) is "choice" or self-defense (killing someone who is trying to kill you) is race hatred driven murder is a fool's errand.

I've never seen a right wing group that would put Socialist in their name.

Any 'isms that promote concentration and centralization of power and believe the proles exist for the policies of those who run the state are of the Left. It's like an athletic league, different color outfits all playing the same game.
#8
Seems to me there are basically two kinds of 'isms' that cover human interactions: Individualism and Collectivism. The latter includes socialism, national socialism, communism, fascism, and almost all centralized government.
#9
Don't forget totalitarianism. Big government, no freedom. I think it's safe to say that Nazism and Communism both come under that umbrella. And when they take your money with their taxes, that's the same as taking your freedom.

Nazism and communism grew from the same soil: the late-19c European dissatisfaction with and rejection of classical "liberalism" i.e. competition and free markets applied to politics, economics and ideas.
That rejection came from Marx on the left and from philosophers and cultural thinkers such as Nietzsche, Lagarde and DeMaistre on the right. All of them opposed to the atomizing effects of liberal capitalism, i.e. how it reduced communities into rootless, self-seeking individuals motivated only by "utility."
Lots of parallels with our own era's conflicts between liberal one-world globalists and populists of both left and right.
#13
Hitler was as racist toward Slavs as he was toward Jews. Racism and nationalism were big differences between Hitler's Nazi party and Stalin's Communist party. That could be why so many of today's liberals call Trump supporters Nazis. They call you a racist if you want a secure border. They call you a racist or a Nazi if you disagree with them about anything. It has nothing to do with economics. It's not a valid argument. It's a crutch for crippled minds.

Soviet Communists under Stalin were also ethnic-nationalists. They were as hostile to the Poles as the Germans were.
#17
The Left calls everyone Nazis because it is just about the only universally accepted metaphor for evil. They call everyone racists because they are, in fact, racists and it's less of a stigma when everyone else is racist too.
#18
Trump had to be destroyed because he was the first national politician to put together a serious populist alliance of working- and middle-class voters from all demographics (except the overeducated).
What shocked the globalists was not his manners but his pull. He attracted people who voted twice for Obama. He attracted Bernie Bros. Thanks to his administration's stunning economic success, Trump started to pull large numbers of blacks and Latinos away from the Democrats.
If not for media suppression, Pfizer's delay of the stunning good news of its vaccine trial results, voter intimidation and outright fraud, Trump would have won going away.
Trump was on track to effect the biggest realignment in American politics since 1932. He was a nuclear warhead aimed at the elites of both parties. Trump had to be taken down, by all available means, if the old order was to be preserved.

"Allies of convenience because they certainly didn't dig each other before Ribb/Molo pact. "
The Comintern was "anti-war" (pro-Hitler) globally until Hitler invaded the USSR. For disliking each other, they had each other's backs.

@ #14 - Indeed, and I should think the skirmish ca. 1919-1920 between Pilsudski's Poland and the young Soviet Union surely didn't help.

Before the first world war, there was the Socialist International, which included all kinds of Socialists, of many different varieties and many different countries.
It was against participation in WWI, which caused splits in most countries between patriots and pacifists among the socialists.
Mussolini, for example was the editor of the mainSocialist journal in Italy but broke with the International when he supported Italy joining Britain and France in the was, against the Central Powers of German and Austria-Hungary.
After WWI the 'Majority' or Bolsheviks of the Social Internation became the Communist Party.
To many Europeans Socialism is by definition good, capitalism bad, and the distinction between right and left is that between nationalist and internationalist.
However both Fascists and Communists believed in complete government control of the economy, and control of the government by a small elite group, either the Grand Council of Fascism, or the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
Politics actually looks more like a circle than a straight line. One one end is human freedom, and the other complete government control, and the European concept of left and right are almost indistinguishable on the totalitarian side of that ring.
In America we tend to draw a different straight line from the European one, and consider one end to be totalitarian government control, and the other to be complete human freedom. Capitalism is nearer the opposite end to Communism or Fascism.
Unfortunately, our Democrats sound more and more like Fascists these days, than like democrats or republicans or believers in human freedom..

[CNT] The COVID-19 vaccine continues to roll out slowly but surely, with President Joe Biden estimating that all adults in the U.S. will have access to a dose by the end of May.
But as we continue the long march toward herd immunity, or the tipping point when enough people are inoculated to halt community spread of the virus, there is a growing question about whether proof of vaccination will soon be required to get back to daily activities like eating in restaurants, flying on planes, or traveling abroad.
The travel industry—and airlines especially—are lobbying for a standardization of health forms like vaccine status and COVID-19 test results.
"It is crucial to establish uniform guidance," more than two dozen airline trade organizations, labor unions, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce wrote in a letter to the White House on Monday, according to the AP. The groups stated that "the U.S. must be a leader in this development."
Many airlines have already attempted to standardize test results among their own passengers, turning to technology by partnering with apps like Common Pass, VeriFly, or Travel Pass from the International Air Transportation Association. These types of apps can also be adapted to show vaccine status as well, and several airlines such as Qantas and Virgin Atlantic have voiced support for requiring all passengers to be vaccinated in order to board their planes.
Earlier this month, President Biden asked federal agencies to explore options for so-called vaccine passports. But it's not yet clear if or when the documents will become a requirement for travel.
#2
Once in place, they will easily, VERY easily, be adapted to evil purposes. Social credit score is just the tip of the iceberg.
Just like social security number went from a tax ID to a virtual national identity document. Just like income tax went from 1% to the monstrosity it is now.
#3
"Voter ID is good", "Vaccination ID is tool of tyrannical oppression"? I guess, being an ignorant foreigner and all, I'm missing something. I just wonder, what would George Washington say?
Requiring identification is neutral, g(r)omgoru. The purpose to which it is put determines whether it protects liberty or reduces it. Requiring photo identification in order to vote in order to limit the franchise to actual citizens and prevent all sorts of cheating — voting outside one’s district or voting multiple times or voting as someone else— protects liberty. Requiring an easily forged vaccination certificate in order to engage in everyday activities without providing for certification of naturally acquired immunity via previous infection or natural resistance to the particular infection reduces liberty while doing nothing to reduce the probability of contracting and spreading the disease in question. I’ve already seen reports of forged vaccine certificates, and where governments do make that a requirement, there will be more. I was given a vaccination record card yesterday when I got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine (I am experiencing a slight soreness in the muscle where the needle was inserted, but nothing more thus far); it looks exactly like the vaccination record cards I’ve received for other vaccines I’ve been given in recent decades — I probably could forge a passable version of the thing myself, were I to see a need to do so
#6
Be prepared for a much stronger response 10 - 12 hours after the second jab
Yes. But I prefer that to the risk of going through what Fred is still recovering from, since I have interesting co-morbidities.
The laminated Ohio-issued driver’s license with holographic security thingy — or non-driver’s license for those who need a photo ID without driving — is not nearly as easy to forge as a bit of printed card with a container label stuck on and my name and the date the dose was given scribbled on by an anonymous pharmacist,

Once upon a time I had to have a little yellow cardstock booklet that I kept with my passport; it had my immunization records, signed by physician IIRC, and was needed to travel to and from at least some foreign countries. Various countries had different immunization requirements and recommendations. Or am I imagining it?
#8
Passports of any kind are designed specifically to control peoples access and movements. I find it hard for anyone that has traveled to a repressive country to argue differently, except of course for Jane Fonda who travelled freely in North Viet-Nam..

They don't need to knock on your door at 3 a.m. if they can use access to things like employment, air travel, schools and restaurants to coerce you into the desired behavior.

^IMO, maybe you don't have enough belief in your countrymen
[Z man] During the Cold War, few thought of the Soviet Union as an empire. At least the claim was not part of propaganda campaign against them. The communists, of course, liked to hurl around the term "western imperialists", but no one thought of the West or America as an empire. That was just part of the rhetoric used in the ideological war fought between the two sides in the third world. Empires fight to conquer land. East and West in the Cold War fought to win hearts and minds.
Looking back, it is easier to see that the Soviet Union was an empire, because it is so obvious that America is an empire. We are also seeing more parallels between the two sides as the American empire enters its end phase. Like the Soviets at the end, the American empire is run by a collection of ossified geezers, clinging to a past for no other reason than they have no future. What happened to the Soviet Union thirty years ago is now happening to the American empire.
An important similarity is both sides were cosmopolitan in their structure, organizing their people around a set of ideas. Traditional empires were organized around the conquering people, who imposed their will on those they conquered. Both the Russian and the American empires sought to assimilate the people brought into their orbit through ideology, rather than force. The captive people of both empires participated in the maintenance and defense of the empire, often as equals.

Rabbi Altmann and his secretary were sitting in a coffeehouse in Berlin in 1935. "Herr Altmann," said his secretary, "I notice you're reading Der Stürmer! I can't understand why. A Nazi libel sheet! Are you some kind of masochist, or, God forbid, a self-hating Jew?"
"On the contrary, Frau Epstein. When I used to read the Jewish papers, all I learned about were pogroms, riots in Palestine, and assimilation in America. But now that I read Der Stürmer, I see so much more: that the Jews control all the banks, that we dominate in the arts, and that we're on the verge of taking over the entire world. You know – it makes me feel a whole lot better!"

If you can ignore this author's vile nonsense about the joos, you'll see some absolutely brilliant insights here.
Our globalist elites have indeed created a kind of empire, and they are indeed scared.
Trump terrifies them. He called bullshit on the three foundations of the global empire - call it the global "condominium", or maybe "hedge fund": invite the world, invade the world, and build up China at your own people's expense.
The problem with cosmopolitan empires is they erode the justification for empire in the effort to integrate the empire. If all peoples are the same, if nations do not really matter, then why is one people at the top of the system?
Exactly. There is no such thing as a "global citizen." If such existed, America would cease to exist.
If nations don't matter, then American elites have no justification for ordering the world according to American rules.
In a truly cosmopolitan rules-based global order -- as opposed to the American Condominium/ Hedge Fund Americanus -- the dollar as reserve currency would cease to exist and with it, the justifications for the US Navy and US Air Force and all the trillions spent on their hardware.
Our elites have created a sham empire and in the process are destroying America.
We would have been far far better off had we turned inward after 1992 and focused on defending the homeland building a strong, traditional America with strong and secure borders, energy independence, low immigration, a balanced economy and a society without tribalism and race-Communist bullshit, one in which everyone belongs.
[Gatestone via SOF] China’s Communist Party (CCP) seems to be implementing a multidimensional strategy in the Caribbean, reaping economic, political and potentially military gains a few miles offshore the United States. China’s ultimate objective of its Caribbean strategy may well be to confront the US, not only with its presence near the mainland US, but also with a situation analogous to America’s military presence in the region of the South China Sea. There, China created new islands in the sea, pledged not to militarize them, then went and militarized them.
It is important to remember that China also promised Hong Kong autonomy until 2047, then, in 2020, jumped the gun by 27 years. "Hong Kong will be another communist-run city under China’s strict control," US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared in July. China is clearly not a government that honors its agreements.
The CCP leadership has also been launching a diplomatic effort in the Caribbean with the goal of delegitimizing the state of Taiwan, while encouraging regional countries to open relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
Chinese shipments of military and police equipment to several Caribbean states could be developing into beachheads for future People’s Liberation Army (PLA) "advisory groups" in the Western Hemisphere. China’s construction projects already include the modernization of airports and seaports, which could increase Chinese geopolitical and military influence in the region. Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe already is on record expressing China’s willingness to deepen military cooperation with Caribbean countries.
Additionally, China has been investing considerable revenue in the economies of the hemisphere’s anti-American Caribbean socialist states of Cuba and Venezuela. China’s establishment of a Caribbean Belt and Road Sector is an opportunity for CCP intelligence operatives to suborn the sovereignty of Caribbean countries by luring these societies into "debt trap" economic dependency on China. In Sri Lanka, for instance, the country’s inability to pay back its Chinese creditors for Beijing’s modernization of the port of Hambantota has resulted in the South Asian country’s effective lossof the port.
China’s Caribbean offensive so far includes a "medical diplomacy" initiative that is providing Latin America, but especially the region’s island states, with face masks, personal protective gowns and gloves, ventilators, ambulances, and pharmaceuticals. This May, China convened a video-link conference on the COVID-19 virus at the vice-ministerial level with the nineCaribbean countries that have diplomatic relations with Beijing: Antigua, Barbuda, Barbados, the Bahamas, Dominica, Granada, Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Gatestone is just pissed off the Chinese are offering a better deal than the US deep state are. They got fat and lazy and used to high-handedly bossing all these little countries around.
On July 23, 2021, the 100-year anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, China launches a massive invasion of Taiwan. As news is related to President Biden, he is overwhelmed and shuts down mentally. An order is signed by President Biden authorizing the U.S. Pacific Fleet to respond to the threat. However, the military chain of command wants to meet with the president to verify that he has signed the order and that he Is mentally competent. Members of the Joint Chiefs meet with the president and determine that he is not mentally competent and refuse to obey the order.
On July 24, Kamala Harris calls an emergency Cabinet meeting to invoke the provisions of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment and to remove the president from office. A majority of the Cabinet declares that it will not decide until it sees medical proof of disability. President Biden refuses to consent to a medical exam.
July 26, at another emergency Cabinet meeting, affidavits and witnesses are presented demonstrating President Biden's inability to govern. The majority of Cabinet members vote in favor of removing President Biden, and a written declaration is submitted to both houses of Congress. Upon delivery, Kamala Harris becomes acting president. Two hours later, President Biden delivers a written declaration to both houses of Congress that he has no inability to govern and resumes being president.
July 27, V.P. Harris and a majority of the Cabinet submit a second written declaration to both houses of Congress that again states that President Biden is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Upon delivery, V.P. Harris again becomes acting president. Congress must schedule the trial within 21 days of July 27. A trial is scheduled for August 16.
July 28, Acting President Harris gives an order to the Pacific Fleet to provide logistical support to the Taiwanese military. The military responds that it will take at least five days for a carrier group to arrive in the area, which will be too late to offer assistance to the Taiwanese.
August 3, Taiwan announces its unconditional surrender to China, and major hostilities cease.
August 16, over two-thirds of both the Senate and the House vote that President Biden is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and V.P. Harris shall continue as acting president.
Interestingly, I can't find this article on the Am Thinker website now...hmmmm..
#5
The American Thinker forgot the collapse of the three gorges dam from unknown causes soon after the invasion of Taiwan. This caused massive displacement throughout the heartland of China and a loss of power across the nation that led to uprisings and the collapse of the PRC government far faster than anyone has anticipated.
#6
This caused massive displacement throughout the heartland of China
...preceded by tens of millions of deaths and the destruction of a good portion of China’s manufacturing capacity and Shanghai port, if I have the geography right.
#7
Dream on. The US will not attack mainland China or defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion.
This will be like the 1956 Suez Crisis. Biden as Anthony Eden. Beginning of the end of American global dominance and the rise of a multipolar world. End of the American rules-based order.
#8
Chinese troops cant afford the cost of drinks and company. China will have to import it. Invading or posting troops is not their normal process, nor is massing of troops for training. They will bring in businesses and construction, effectively take over the economy and then take over the political class of each island. It takes a decade or two, but its very successful.
