No matter how mentally diminished President Joe Biden is, you have to be horrified by who waits in the wings should he leave office before the expiration of his term. Unfortunately, one of the many consequences of Biden’s mental decline is an impairment of judgment that manifests itself in such reckless decisions as putting Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the border.

The most frequent question people pose to me is: What can I/we do to fight back against the nihilistic anti-American destruction of virtually all the country’s major institutions? The single best thing Americans can do to counter the left-wing attack on America -- against its freedoms, schools, families, children, governmental institutions, sports, news and entertainment media, its medical establishment, the CIA, the FBI, the State Department and the military -- is to take their children out of America’s schools. Other than in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), the vast majority of America’s elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities teach your child or grandchild almost nothing important; prematurely sexualize them, thereby robbing them of their innocence; and harm them intellectually and morally.

Critical Race Theory is a new term that encompasses a broad range of indoctrination. It is being used by corporations, educational institutions and even government agencies to “indoctrinate” employees, educators, students, agents and others that America has an evil history, that racism is on the rise, and that white supremacists are leading the oppression of blacks. Similar to the “woke” movement, Critical Race Theory is yet another extension of Marxism, which is the underlying objective of CRT.

Parents, beware. The dominion you have over your own children is under attack like never before. Teenage puppets for Big Pharma are being deployed on the ground and across social media airwaves to convince their peers to inject themselves with experimental drugs to allegedly prevent a disease for which the youth mortality rate is practically zero.

Americans, President Joe Biden’s budget proposal suggests, should not worry that he plans to significantly increase federal deficits over the next eight years. Why? Because he intends to begin reducing them -- but not eliminating them -- nine years from now.

For us who are older-generation Americans, we would prefer the younger generations to continue using the names and terms we have grown up with. Unfortunately, there is a movement in America to replace or redefine names and terms to alter or erase our history, our Constitution, and our love and respect for America.

If you listen to Democrats and anti-Trump liberal Republicans like Sen. Mitt Romney and Rep. Liz Cheney, you’d think nothing was being done about the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Never mind the FBI’s hunts and raids across 44 states. Never mind the continued detention of an unknown number of pro-Trump supporters. Never mind the more than 2,000 criminal charges brought by federal prosecutors against nearly 500 Americans arrested over the past four months.

A reasonable person living in the United States over the past 17 years might have been occasionally tempted to emulate a type of cicada that lives in the regions around Washington, D.C. This insect -- known as Brood X -- spends most of its 17 years sheltering underground.

If you’ve seen videos of recent attacks on Jews in New York City, Los Angeles, London and elsewhere, you may have missed a very revealing aspect of those attacks. They were almost always -- as they have been for decades -- accompanied by curses such as “F--- the Jews.”

The White House called it a “scheduling conflict.” But people at Notre Dame knew it was something else: a conflict of values. When Joe Biden didn’t give the keynote address at the graduation ceremony, his absence was enough to make headlines. After all, it’s been a modern certainty that the president or vice president of any new administration is at least invited to South Bend to headline the commencement.
