Cut the Chaff
American Thinker ^ | Sept 20, 2020 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 09/20/2020 8:08:42 AM PDT by upchuck

In all the perfervid reporting this week (Victor Davis Hanson calls this “concocted melodramas”) there are only three big stories to my mind: The President’s stunning success in the Middle East, Secretary of Education Betsy De Vos’ brilliant parlay to Princeton’s virtue-signaling president and the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Each of these are likely to further tip Trump toward an election victory in which according to Rasmussen he’s already reached 53% approval among likely voters.No one has better described the significance of the Abraham Accord than Spengler (David Goldman). The President, defying the conventional wisdom of decades of big thinkers in foreign policy establishments here and in Europe, offered the Palestinians their last best hope for peace. Since peace was never their objective, they turned it down and now they are like the petunia in an  onion patch of the  children’s song -- standing alone among its neighbors.  [More at link]

Princeton’s “Systemic Racism”

If like me you’re disgusted with the corporate, political, and academic nonsense about “systemic racism” which now covers everything, including being on time for appointments, mowing your lawn, doing your homework, and speaking and writing standard English, Secretary of education Betsy De Vos seems deftly to have called the bluff of these virtue signalers.

A funny thing happened as soon as polls showed majority of voters of all races opposed them: they stopped. Just like that.

Not sure what she’s trying to say there. Riots may have calmed a bit, but have not stopped, and chances are there’s going to be much civil unrest when the senate takes up filing the seat.

Does that hurt Trump? Doubt it. What he loses in voters who don’t like him “ramming through” a Judge, he’ll gain from those who are OD’d on protests. Net lose zero.
