The MSM liberal media is a prime example of social contagion. Not an original thought nor investigation can now be expected of its ranks. They are fully captured and marching toward their ultimate demise.
I sure wish "Their empire will collapse like Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme any minute now" was more than just a wish. I see no sign of their power ebbing. Some of us have had our eyes opened and moved on, but there are still so many who get the thrill of being part of the "we know best" crowd.
You should have the immature comments on the WSJ articles on this topic. I’ve never seen more immature comments from supposed independents. Clearly they are not. They are either paid trolls or completely leftists. Regardless, they are completely immature to a level I couldn’t stand to comment there anymore. I’ve grown so tired of that media I was just counting the days to when my subscription would be ending. In a few weeks it would be ending. I called today and made sure they did NOT auto-renew. I can’t even have a normal conversation with adults on the WSJ of all places. Utterly ridiculous what has happened in this country.
Just watched this video of Vivek talking about being canceled by LinkedIn for “hate speech” and “misinformation.” No denying we are in an ever worsening civil war. Not a culture war of left vs right but, as Dave Rubin says, a reality war of the Woke vs the nonWoke which is also very much a global war. All things are now global in our always online global civilization. Vivek says the merger of the democrats with Big Tech is fascism. That’s also exactly what Bret Weinstein, a leftist, says. Actually, many now say this since it is obviously true. We’re very fortunate though to have so many superbly high quality people on our side. This is by far our greatest advantage against the Woke.

Another thoughtful post by Sasha. I even had to learn me a new word “bacchanalia”. 😂
Does anyone believe Trump going after DeSantis is even close to the level that the Progressives, The Deep State or the MSM will attack him? Seriously it’s just some petty name calling. Politics is a brutal sport. The weaponization of the CIA, FBI, IRS and state DA offices is some serious corruption. They do not play fair. I understand vengeance isn’t a true answer but there is something satisfying about the bad guys getting bashed in the face. I was hoping DeSantis would sit out and let Trump do all the dirty work. If you’re going to get in then prepare to get dirty.
Thanks for your insight Sasha, I so appreciate it and enjoy your writing.
I differ a bit on your take here:
"Trump going after DeSantis makes me think he isn’t serious about saving this country from the fanatics on the Left." He's serious. That's just how you take out your competition in a primary.
"The Democrats were never serious about the “threat to Democracy itself” and “Extreme MAGA Republicans" because they spent over $60 million boosting them in primaries to push their feckless, zero-charisma candidates instead." They did that because they thought they could beat the extreme MAGA candidates (with the help of the media who supported their extreme rhetoric about MAGA) and that proved true mostly.
Where the two above differ I think is that Trump actually wants to save this country and make it great again for ALL people to become anything if you work hard enough. The Democrats want to keep power and "fundamentally change" this country into a socialist one, which they think is better for the people. Other Democrats are Marxists and want complete control.
I have a question about the name Democratic Party. I realize most people write if that way, however it seems grammatically incorrect. And feels like more invented language by the Left. Democratic is an adjective, so it never feels right to me. Beyond the fact that they are anything but democratic, isn’t isnt proper to refer to it as the Democrat Party?
Robert Kennedy Jr is running as a Democrat, however he talks truth! Don't discount him. If you haven't heard him speak on his presidential campaign, I highly recommend it. He will turn the Democratic party around from the hot mess they have become.
Agree with you on Trump. In addition, true leaders are always proud whenever someone they help steps up to do more. And if Kari Lake is Trumps choice for VP my guess is that we will almost never see Melania in DC. Trump knows DeSantis can beat him and so is going after him maliciously right from the start.
Disney, of all sources, actually delivered a brilliant lesson on the value of creativity vs critique.
At the end of “Ratatouille” as evil food critic Anton Ego (voiced by Peter O’Toole) experiences an epiphany while writing a review (and I paraphrase.)
“We critics risk very little. The sad truth is, the average piece of junk is worth far more than our words declaring it such.”
It takes nothing to be a critic.
It takes courage to be a creator.
As Scott Adams noted: When tech breaks because too many people want to hear what you have to say that's a win.
Quote from Thomas Edison: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
"I also know that without failure you can’t ever achieve things in life."
Indeed. Someone told me that "you only avoid mistakes by doing nothing." The only failure/mistake-free people are those who sit on their hands.
"Trump going after DeSantis makes me think he isn’t serious about saving this country from the fanatics on the Left."
Agreed, again. It is very annoying.

Sasha, don't forget, we're trying to save the country from both the fascist Left and the RINO right, ie, DeSantis' backers. It's a two-front war.
“Trump going after DeSantis makes me think he isn’t serious about saving this country from the fanatics on the Left.” You can’t be seriously thinking.
You’re spot on, and I enjoy your work.

On-target summation. The louder the MSM screams the closer to the end of their relevance.
