What's the only thing worse than no apology at all? A so-called apology that blames people for taking offense.

The opening ceremonies in Paris for the Olympics offended and outraged people around the world with a blasphemous drag satire of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. Clips of the tableau, dubbed “The New Gay Testament” by its star, flooded social media and stoked criticism from all corners. Olympics organizers attempted to get platforms to remove the images using dishonest copyright claims, then offered a “sorry if you were offended” non-apology, claiming not to have intended it as a satire of religious faith.

That is clearly a lie.

They fully intended to offend Christians with this garish and insulting parody of their faith.

And they succeeded.

This is not inclusivity or tolerance.

It reveals a deep and abiding hatred for faith, and for the Western culture built largely upon it. And it shows the contempt that the elite have for those who treasure both.

There are few things that unite Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill these days. But they do agree on one thing: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle had to go.

Florida Congressman Mike Waltz called the testimony from Cheatle “the worst testimony” he has seen in his time in Congress.

Cheatle’s smug arrogance was a complete affront to the Americans our government officials are supposed to be serving.

Even before Cheatle’s appearance before the House Oversight Committee, it was clear she wasn’t up to the job.

After a colossal failure like we saw in the assassination attempt on Trump, our leaders—in a different era—would have willingly and contritely resigned.

Failure used to be recognized as a breach of public trust warranting the ultimate penalty.

Pressure on Cheatle to resign came from both sides of the aisle … she was really forced out.

Our Secret Service needs new and capable leadership focused on protecting leaders … not protecting their own careers.

Here’s a proposed bumper sticker or a hashtag for the times we live in: MOFA—Make Orwell Fiction Again.

We’ve just been whiplashed: Joe Biden was just the most capable man to be president who could run circles around his staff. Now: He’s passing the torch. And there’s no real explanation. Is it polling? His physical, mental infirmity? Or both?

We aren’t told. But—borrowing from Orwell—we’re forced to “memory hole” all the recent statements of his great ability and agility.

Memory holed as well in Biden’s 2021 appointment of Harris as “border czar.” Now: We’re told it was never her job or title.

It doesn’t stop there: Harris has long been ranked the “most liberal” U.S. Senator by the website GovTrack.

Now that page is “down” … memory holed as well.

Don’t miss what’s happening: VP Kamala Harris has just been virtually coronated as the nominee … receiving absolutely zero votes along the way.

And: our elite media enterprise complies in downright Orwellian fashion.

Let’s Make Orwell Fiction Again.

Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential field marks the end of an era.

Biden was the last nexus to the Democrats’ New Deal/working class days. Democrats are now officially the party of technocratic elites and hard-left radicals, ruled by a big money oligarchy with priorities and obsessions far distant from those of everyday Americans.

Kamala Harris is a fitting mascot for the post-Biden Democrats. She comes from San Francisco and has never won a non-Californian’s vote. She can’t credibly pursue Joe Biden’s lunch bucket strategy of competing in Rust Belt states like Michigan and Wisconsin.

Harris is likely to pursue a southern strategy focused on North Carolina and Georgia. She may well look carefully at moderate governors like Roy Cooper of North Carolina or Andy Beshear of Kentucky when choosing a running mate.

One thing is certain: it’s not your parents’ Democratic Party.

Just how long have Democrats known of Joe Biden’s cognitive infirmity? A presidential debate last month finally and completely exposed the cover-up, both by leading Democrats as well as the mainstream media. Until then, both groups accused critics questioning Biden’s fitness for office of using “cheap fakes.”

The Wall Street Journal has now published an exposé that provides the start date for the cover-up: October of 2021 … almost three full years ago! A disastrous engagement with House Democrats on the infrastructure bill uncovered Biden’s cognitive decline to Nancy Pelosi, so much so that she never had Biden engage with the House Democrat caucus again on legislation. Every participant in that process saw the issue.

Vice President Kamala Harris was part of it … and thus part of the problem. It would take willful blindness not to see what was clear for all to see: Biden was failing.

Will she ever be held accountable for it? Not while elite media hides its own complicity in the cover-up.

For weeks—if not months—the American people had been told Joe Biden was not stepping down from the presidential ticket because a) he was just fine—he’d just had a “bad night” last month at the debate and b) millions of Democrats voted for him in the primary race of the Democratic party this year. He is the people’s choice. Or: I guess he was the people’s choice.

Well….

Vice President Kamala Harris and others in a small inner-circle at 1600 Pennsylvania were clearly involved in a cover-up and gaslighting campaign, telling us things like Joe Biden runs circles around all of them in policy meetings.

America should not miss the point that they’ve been lied to—by the White House and their enablers in elite media.

It looks like Vice President Kamala Harris will now be the selected nominee to head the Democratic ticket this November. Not elected, selected.

Turns out the biggest norms-buster is the true party of the real big lie—and that’s the Democratic party.

Well, you’re going to remember where you were on Sunday when the news came that Joe Biden, the President of the United States, was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election.

It’s one of those days like Lyndon Johnson on March the 31st of 1968. When those alive at the time remember the very unexpected development. Except of course, with the withdrawal of Joe Biden, it’s not entirely unexpected after the disaster of the June 27th debate. The Democratic Party obviously came to the conclusion that even though it is now scrambling, it is more likely to be successful on November the 5th without Joe Biden than with him. It’s a rather cold, if not ruthless political calculation, and the President is out.

There’s going to be a lot for us to think about, and there’s going to be a lot for Democrats to do in very short order with November five coming very quickly, but they asked for this development. Now they’ve got it.

The big point is, I can remember that night when Lyndon Johnson withdrew from the race in 1968. My father looked me in the eye and said, “Son, you’re going to remember this. You're going to remember what happened Sunday.”

That’s just the way history works.

Donald Trump just can’t stop winning. He’s cheated death, and now the classified documents case Special Counsel Jack Smith brought in Florida has been dismissed.

US District Judge Aileen Cannon held that the special counsel’s prosecution was unconstitutional in two respects. First, Jack Smith is essentially a private citizen—no federal statute authorized his appointment by the attorney general, nor has he ever been subject to any sort of Senate approval. Second, he’s been free to spend money with little to no Congressional oversight, in contravention of Constitutional requirements.

Jack Smith will appeal the ruling to the 11th Circuit, and it will probably end up before the Supreme Court. To some, the decision may seem overly technical and legalistic. But the Constitution’s guardrails protect all of us from a government that could otherwise grow too powerful at the cost of our freedom.

The guardrails seem to be kicking in.
