The silence and boos of the Toronto audience during this segment from the Bannon-Frum debate is deeply illustrative of the State of Denial so many Left of Center people seem to be about the “current state of friction” between the Left and the Right in America and throughout the Western World. Ask one of these folks whether more violence in recent memory stems from the Left or the Right and they will respond with the latter without a moment’s hesitation. Which begs the question, how do they explain this and this?
The unanswered question is obvious: Do these people sincerely believe that the Right is responsible for most of the violence, when there is mountains of evidence to the contrary, or are they merely NPCs whose internal scripts have been written in concrete by the M.A.D. (Media-Academia-Democrat) establishment?
This clip is several months old but much of what Jordan Peterson says will hopefully encourage American voters to make the right choice on Tuesday:
“On Thursday, November 1, at the Rosslyn Holiday Inn at noon, we will reveal the first of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sex assault victims. I applaud the courage and dignity and grace and strength of my client.”
🤔I find it *extremely* interesting that Robert Mueller is intentionally superseding jurisdiction here. The accusation (sexual assault) is subject to local/state law enforcement. Robert Mueller is DIRECTING the FBI to intercede on his behalf.

An artist has created a full-size replica of the Greek Parthenon using 100,000 copies of banned books.
Modern Day Leftists haven’t burned books … yet but they have absolutely gone out of their way to try to silence people, organizations, and websites. It would be interesting to compile a list of all that they’ve tried to silence so far. Let’s get that list started:
Historians Michael Vlahos and John Batchelor make an interesting comparison between Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) of the 2010’s with religious slavery abolitionists of the 1850’s. Their discussion emanates from a new book by Andrew Delbanco about the run-up to the American Civil War. Back then there were two elite groups: the abolitionists in the North and the planter elite in the south. The Northerners were absolutely determined to destroy the society of the south … and eventually prevailed.
Vlahos makes the argument that SJWs have deemed themselves to be the natural inheritors of the abolitionists 160 years prior. Most modern SJWs appear to be fueled more by daddy issues than any religious conviction but yet have been programmed to believe that they are on a religious like crusade to cleanse the sins of racism, sexism, transphobia, and white & male privilege. Their ultimate goal is to use the power of the government as a kudgel to effect the change they believe to be necessary, in much the same way that the abolitionists used the power of the federal government to destroy the society of the south. In both cases, the majority in the center was and is being forced to choose sides.
One question SJWs will never allow themselves to consider is whether their mission is a truly righteous one rather than one more akin to more nefarious revolutions in the 20th Century. What we have seen, and will continue to see, are the “Blue” elites taking a most pious stance and an absolute conviction to, not just hurt, but destroy anyone they deem to be a Deplorable.
Well, Trump of course. But that’s too obvious. All Republicans too. And one left-wing Guardian reporter even blamed the most neutral of people, stellar journalist Salena Zito.
Am I the only one who finds it both disgusting and shameful that Leftists the world over won’t wait even a day before using such tragedies to try to win political points?!
We appear to have reached a point in history where a card carrying Democrat Socialist of America member, proclaiming how much they love the Progressive movement, how much they want socialism brought into effect in every country on earth, condemn every “right-winger” as a bigoted Nazi sympathizer and then … go carry out an extremely violent act and still the M.A.D. (Media-Academia-Democrats) leaders and their NPC followers would blame this on the right.

Update: Interesting insight about this tragedy:
While watching the video, did you notice the striking similarities between Leftists in Brazil with those in Canada, America, and Western Europe? One common trait amongst all of them is that they will obfuscate, take quotes out of context, and even lie to move forward their agendas. For it’s all about P-O-W-E-R and Leftists believe they are on a religious-like mission to show us neanderthals “the better way”. Given that few to no prominent Leftist individuals will condemn what is going on in Venezuela or Cuba, speaks volumes about how blinded they are by their own “religious” convictions.
Update: Podcast discussion on this topic.
Monica Crowley carefully outlines how the Media-Academia-Democrats Mobs are not a new thing but rather a long standing tool of the Left to get their way when democracy doesn’t support their destructive behaviour:
Progressive gangs have hounded elected and other officials where they live, work and dine and vandalized their offices. Mothers have dragged their small children to stalk lawmakers in congressional hallways. Antifa mobs roam city streets, provoking violence and destroying property. Conservative speakers are under constant assault on college campuses. And there are countless, continual left-wing social media flash mobs that descend on a target like Biblical locust plagues.
The media is perhaps the most powerful virtual mob, particularly when dominant entities like Facebook, Google and Twitter gang up with the mainstream press to intimidate and silence conservative or other views they deem “unacceptable.” And like all leftist mobs, the media hide behind a caring, peaceful facade that covers their venomous political agenda.
David Tabachnick is a professor of political science in North Bay, Ontario. He also seems to be obsessed with Lindsay Shepherd:
This professor has been writing these kind of rubbish comments about me for months. Ok David, what am I supposed to do? Not engage in the public sphere anymore, because anything I do will be opposed by other people? I should stay home & shut up & not be out in my community? Jesus https://t.co/QhtuD9yhQO

A quick check of his Twitter feed shows he’s very proud of this tweet he has pinned:

Sounds like he missed his calling to sit on a Human Rights Commission and decide what the rest of us can say publicly. Read through his Twitter feed and you’ll quickly fall down a rabbit hole we’ve seen way too much of from Leftist apparatchiks. If you’re up for it, here’s a recent article he penned. Remember folks, your hard-earned tax dollars are going to pay the salaries of “minds” like his.
Simple question: Who benefits the most from widespread news that Left of Center M.A.D. members have had “bombs” sent to them … even though all of these devices has been intercepted and done no harm to anyone?
From “Exasperated“:
I don’t have any idea how the election will turn out. When I went to bed in Nov 2016, I thought HRC would be the 45th president. It is just stunning to me that the Left believes it is all about Trump, and not about the rejection of our “betters”.
It ISN’T just the sneaky, behind the scenes underhandedness or the nepotism and the ineptness, ala Gruber, Ben Rhodes.
It ISN’T just that the “Rules are for thee, but not for me.” Hillary is the poster child.
It ISN’T just about the useless top heavy, regulatory state, serving the entrenched interests, and favored Special Interests, while suppressing growth and American competitiveness.
It IS about the willingness to denigrate and demonize the working aspirational Middle while stiffing them, people whose only crime is their increasing alarm over their own livelihoods and the future standard of living for their children. I guess they are just not down with their children being leveled to third world subsistence agricultural workers. Think where we all would be if these people had their way on Energy Independence. The Middle would be on its knees.
The Dems offer the cargo cult solution: handouts, subsidies, fake make work jobs that do not grow the pie. If we give you the accoutrements of the Middle Class, you will be the Middle Class. Sheesh. What is the economic rationale of a college education without worthwhile jobs. Republicans imagine everyone in the middle will become entrepreneurs, cattle trading speculators in the future’s market, join the military or ricochet between amazing dead end temp service jobs.
In addition, it is a big cost shifting scam involving K-Street, the government, media, even academia, foundations, NGOs etc. They get all the gain, but they offload the pain, by shifting the cost of their failures and misadventures onto the public. In other words, they privatize the gain, but socialize the pain. Meanwhile, the charities, foundations, and other non-profits game the tax code. As Eric Hoffer has pointed out, many worthwhile causes become movements, then businesses, and eventually turn into rackets.
I sincerely hope (1) that the American courts flatten Harvard for its anti-Asian bias and (2) that every qualified Asian student denied admission over the last thirty years joins together in a class-action discrimination suit: https://t.co/m0hSsIY9OP pic.twitter.com/JhiLtFSQSf

“I”m as mad as Hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!” – these were merely words from a movie but one wonders if they also don’t represent a growing chorus of American voters who are downright fed up with the ridiculous antics of unhinged Leftist buffoons who seem intent on upending every last part of society.
In his tweet above, Peterson is referencing Heather MacDonald’s latest piece in City Journal, in which she juxtaposes the lawsuit against Harvard’s discriminatory admittance policies with the campaign to destroy Brett Kavanaugh. Both are driven by identity politics and the underlying hatred towards all white men.
Mika Brzezinski sounds like she’s about to have a breakdown over Donald Trump’s recent polling numbers:
How dare any American hurt Mika’s feelings by voting for the Republicans! How DARE THEY!
Conrad Black is appalled how the Left and its more centrist allies, for reasons of political advantage, have worked hard to marginalize and destroy Faith Goldy:
But there is also no excuse for such a vicious pile-on, either. Suddenly, her unsuitability as a commentator on any subject was one thing Ontario’s Jews and Muslims could agree upon. Defamatory nonsense abounded, such as that she referred to “the Jewish Question,” which she did, but as one idea put forth by the right-wing extremists at Charlottesville, that good people should feel secure enough to engage and prove wrong in the public square. She was pilloried and barred from mayoral debates as a purveyor of race hate. My erratic friend Michael Coren, who has turned the former grace of religious conversion into a revolving door, accused me of an almost sociopathic act in acknowledging Goldy as a cordial acquaintance. Why not throw her into Lake Ontario and see if she floats?
This entire process of demonization has been a disgrace. Toronto as it has evolved — diverse, rightly proud of its openness to all races and cultures, and religions — is burning a native Torontonian at the stake who seeks safer streets, less crime, and a recognition that the greatest problems lie in selected non-white areas, based not on stereotypes, but on incontestable statistics. The opposition of mud-slinging mythmakers, like those at the website Canadaland, is a badge of honour for Goldy. Despite her tactical errors, all polls show her running third, albeit distantly, behind Mayor Tory and former city planner Jennifer Keesmaat, and ahead of all 32 other candidates combined.
