Is this the definition of insanity?

Things do get absurd sometimes don’t they?

Someone is lying there dead from a brutal murder , but what is the reaction of the left? Left is upset that the president called the perpetrator an illegal.

Rather than any sympathy for the victim and her family, the left is upset about politically incorrect language.

The liberal need to be politically correct trumps all other considerations.

We’ve been mired in that category since LBJ’s “Great Society” crap, in the mid/late-60s.

When men who think that they are women start,to give birth without artificially enhanced bodies and transplants to accommodate emerging life, then they may participate in women’s sports, but only in a specialized category with other men who tbi k they are women

I’m fairly confident that this will never be achieved. Men, stay out of women’s sports! Don’t be losers all your life!

Death is a necessary instrument of the leftist cultists. Individuals don’t matter at all. The collective is all that matters.

“The Biden administration envisions mandating the . . . banning [of] natural gas appliances.”

Here in Washington State, in blind obedience to this agenda, the Legislature just (in the last week or two) passed a law banning the use of natural gas appliances, such as many people use to heat their home and provide hot water.

This means homeowners will have to pay to tear out their existing gas furnaces and water heaters, and retrofit their homes with electric equivalents. The expected average cost of doing that is estimated to be $40,000. Many—indeed most—homeowners will not have the ability to fund that kind of expense.

Then, because electricity is significantly more expensive than natural gas, the expense the homeowner incurs in heating their home etc. is expected to double.

And, because the electrical grid doesn’t have the capacity to generate the capacity needed to service the newly enhanced demand, ALL homeowners will predictably experience brownouts and/or system failures during the times of greatest need.

All so some libtard legislators can say they have done “something” to combat the totally unproven “threat” of anthropogenic global warming.

I’m hoping it causes a taxpayer revolt against the libtards that have ruled this state for the last 30 plus years. But that’s probably just a forlorn hope.

I’m surprised that Mr. Hanson brought up Biden’s mis-naming of Laken Riley because it’s of no consequence unless the subject is Biden’s mental capacity, which is not the subject of the article.

Not true. The point was to compare Biden’s willingness to apologize to the left for “misnaming” her murderer as “an illegal” to his refusal to apologize to the murder victim and her family for calling her by the wrong name.

It’s a very good point, and one I haven’t seen made explicitly elsewhere.

“Not true. The point was to compare Biden’s willingness to apologize ... “

Perhaps yours is the better interpretation. I’m not a Biden fan but unintentionally mis-stating the victim’s name is entirely differently from the politically charged issue of what to call the foreigners flooding into our country.

The Dotard in Chief also raved that “they built this country”.
What the hell does that mean Joe? What did the foreign criminals who flooded into the US during your term of office “build” other than criminal records, welfare claims, etc.?

He {Biden} left the callous impression that he was more upset about offending his open-borders base than about the savage beating of a young 22-year-old American nursing student.

On another front Biden is 'leaving the callous impression' that Muslim voters in Michigan are worth more than the survival of Israel... President Sniffer has a knack for appearing to be a shallow totalitarian narcissist... Strange, right? /s
