This Is News

This is an example of news.  This is someone getting something done.

“Though the first of its kind, Louisiana’s age-verification bill was not the last. Nearly identical bills have passed in six other states — Arkansas, Montana, Mississippi, Utah, Virginia and Texas — by similarly lopsided margins. In Utah and Arkansas, the bills passed unanimously. The laws were passed by overwhelming margins in legislatures controlled by both parties and signed into law by Democratic and Republican governors alike. In just over a year, age-verification laws have become perhaps the most bipartisan policy in the country, and they are creating havoc in a porn industry that many had considered all but impossible to actually regulate.”

There is hope.

What’s New

I tried to write something today.  Trump, DeSantis, Biden, Tucker, the Media, COVID, BLM, Antifa, Urban Crime, Ukraine, Russia, China.  It’s all been said.  It’s all been said a million times.  We all know it by heart.  BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!!

All the same stuff.  So, what is new?  What is news?

Well, news is what someone did about it.  And there are bits of news here and there.  That guy Rufo teamed up with DeSantis in Florida to begin cleaning out one of the woke Florida state colleges.  He’s on the board of governors along with a bunch of other conservatives and they are stripping away the DEI initiatives and the HR policies that favor leftist results.  They’re even getting rid of curriculum that serves no purpose other than leftist propaganda.  Now that’s news.

And in Texas the governor and the legislature have drafted, approved and signed a bill that keeps biological males out of women’s college sports.  Now that’s an actual event.

And a number of states have banned transgender transitioning of minors.  That’s news.  That’s worth noting.

And Anheuser-Busch is still losing untold hundreds of millions of dollars in business because they decided to bend a knee to the transgender mafia.  And Target and Disney and a few other corporations have also lost lots of business for similar decisions.  That’s big news.

News worth talking about is real actions that show results.

Liz Cheney and those other RINO congressmen getting bounced out of the House is news.  The fact that Mitt Romney is being primaried next year is news.  There’s a data point about to be unveiled.  We’re going to learn if Utah really is a red state.  If Romney survives it’s purple.  If he gets bounced it’s red.

Twitter (or X) is news.  We’ll have to wait to find out if it’s going to be good news or bad news.  Elon Musk has laid a $44 billion bet that a free speech social platform can make a profit.  We’ll see.

Fox firing Tucker Carlson is big news.  We’ll find out if the right is willing to pay a small amount of cash to get news from our side.  We’ll see.

And the biggest news will be whether the Deep State will send Donald Trump to prison.  In a way this isn’t really news.  This is political theater.  But it remains to be seen if Trump can use this stage to galvanize enough Americans to scare the Deep State into allowing a fair election.  This is the biggest question mark of all.

And there are smaller stories out there.  Christian movie studios and non-leftist book and comic book publishers making real money.  PublicSq providing a marketplace for people who want to avoid woke companies.  These things are news.

So, the news is the seeds that are starting to sprout.  And right now, impact is negligible, infinitesimal, laughably small.  But it’s a start.  And that’s the news.

Forget about the Republican primary.  That’s not news.  That’s a joke.  If Donald Trump is prevented from being the candidate, then it won’t matter who is.  The rank and file won’t show up in November.  Trump is their protest vote.  He’s a thumb in the eye of the powers that be.  News would be if somehow, we ended up with a fair election.  Forget news, that would be a miracle.

And the biggest news would be someone organizing a movement to bypass the Republican party to coordinate the Red State governments to start to standardize and optimize their policies to protect their citizens from the federal government.  And while they’re at it, begin to rein in the national Republican party and make it more accountable to the voters in their states.

The Litmus Test Going Forward

For the last seven years we have been witness to an attempt to break this country loose from the power structure that controls almost every facet of our lives and inexorably drags the world further and further to the left.  We elected Donald Trump to be our savior.  He was going to close the border, restore the economy and free us from the mind control that the woke forces of Media and Industry had imposed.  He gave it a good try.  He was basically completely alone.  Almost all the people he appointed from the GOP establishment to work in his administration were working against him 24/7/52.  He did succeed in revealing to us just how corrupt and powerful were the bureaucrats who run the FBI, CIA, IRS and the other alphabet agencies that really run our government instead of the president.  And for that I am grateful to him.

But we now know that the Left permanently controls the federal election system.  Through ballot harvesting or whatever you want to call the voter fraud system they’ve enacted they appear to have a monopoly on control of the White House and the Senate going forward.  That’s the situation.

To my mind the only meaningful news from this point forward is when someone figures a way to gain ground on the Left.  What do I mean by gaining ground?  Well let me give an example.  Suppose one of the states decides to do something about illegal immigration.  For instance, suppose Texas legislates that anyone in the state found to be an  illegal alien was subject to arrest and incarceration until they agreed to voluntarily return to their country of origin permanently.  I would consider that gaining ground.  But it would only be a victory if that state manages to successfully defend such legislation from the legal onslaught that the federal government would surely bring to bear against it.  It would only count if they successfully implement the program and make it work.

So, you see what I mean.  At this point I’m only interested in results.  It’s been said that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions and we’ve been going down that road for a very long time.  I’m only interested in something that gets us off that road.  That’s my criterion.  I’m too tired of trumpeting the advent of someone on the Right talking about doing something.  Talk, as has often been noted, is cheap.  Results are not.

So that’s my new policy.  If I read about something promising.  I’ll be interested but excitement will be reserved for results.  All of the talk about election fraud lawsuits have garnered not one reversal of an election loss.  All of the articles about lethal vaccine side-effects haven’t resulted in the FDA protecting the public from these experimental treatments.  We’ve read about how the FBI and CIA called the shots at Twitter but there hasn’t been anyone in the government fired because of it.  There’s been a lot of talk but nothing has happened so there’s really nothing to talk about.

From time to time, I’ll still comment on things in the news.  But when something really happens, I’ll say that someone has gained ground.  In fact, I’ll start a new web tag on the site called Real Progress Against the Left.  I’ll include this post under that tag because it provides my policy and its definition.  But I don’t expect to add any other posts any time soon.  But I can always hope.
