Good morning, campers. Not sure how many of you are working today, but I need to against my wish to be at home. I hope everyone is starting to let go of the stress of December and is preparing for some quiet time with friends and family.

So of course, people aren't responsible for their own decisions. Nope. NBC News has decided that conservative media is somehow responsible for a Democrat making a sex tape at work. 

As Stephen Kruiser qotes Kevin Downey, Jr., this was brought to us from the party wants to "bring back decency."

The evidence of the education apocalypse is written in this study: 

The Harvard Center for Political Studies and Harris released a shocking poll about Israel that's too gruesome to be believed. And yet, it's there in black and white.

The poll found 51% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 said they believed the longterm answer to the Israel-Palestinian conflict was for “Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians.”

Today's culture, explained in a book from 1959--describing newly elected senators and congressmen: 

They were absolutely innocent, absolutely earnest, absolutely righteous and absolutely terrifying. They knew, because they had never been allowed to know anything else, that they were the children of a rotten country that had to be changed no matter what the change might do to liberty or to human beings. They were without objectivity, compassion, the power to analyze or any points of historical or moral reference because objectivity had been destroyed, compassion had been withheld, the power to analyze had been turned upside down, and history and the concept of moral reference had been deliberately and scornfully dismissed.

I think I need to go find this book and read it. It's set during the Cold War and thus is more central to Russia, but the seeds of today are apparently well described here.

Even a Democrat governor is sending National Guard troops to the southern border. And the Biden Administration ignored her pleas for help as well. He seems to be an equal opportunity ignorer.

Anti-Israel Activists Surround and Terrorize Line of Kids Going to See Santa at Mall

We know mall cops are useless, but I didn't need another demonstration of this, especially now. Letting these warm sacks of ignorance yell at children is unconscionable.

Remember that is precisely what Yuri Bezmenov warned us the plan was America Universities.

Is there perhaps a silver lining here, in that the usually-apathetic public is, for the first time, seeing what rabidly-hateful snarling orcs these people are?

Yes, although I always forget his name until I see the start of that video.

Perhaps, but there are a lot of people who are just as ugly who do a very good job of hiding it--or they, at least, only release their inner orcs behind closed doors or from the basements of their online lairs, waiting to pounce on their supposed haters online. Think Taylor Lorentz, although she doesn't hide anything.

Kosh and I are working on that. It wasn't something I could address this weekend, alas, although I did try. My plans to work on it Saturday got derailed by an emergency support call I had, so I had to reach out to Kosh yesterday to start work on this.

Agreed. But doesn't it seem highly probable that if they do that, they would probably suffer more than just losing a job? Think cancel culture times ten.

You'll need a board of investigation to figure that out.

Via Insty: Neanderthals may have been early risers

You get up every morning before the sun is warming
Head out at 5:15 for some hunting
There's some vultures up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the cavemen who are all grunting
And if your skills are "on", you can get some mastodon
Or somethin' else that's easier to slay
If you get sick of it all, look at me, Neanderthal
I love to hunt and gather all day

And I'll be takin' care of business...
