When “White Supremacy” Isn’t What You Think It Is II: Smearing Pro-Lifers

Earlier I noted that under Critical Race Theory and related Leftist ideologies, just about anything can make you a White Supremacist or in league with White Supremacy.  Heck, trying to stay out of politics puts you in the “Pyramid of White Supremacy”.  There’s no escape!
So it should not surprise – although it is profoundly illogical – that being pro-life makes you a target for those wishing to use “White Supremacy” to smear political opponents.  Yes, the Left is actually trying to link the pro-life movement with White Supremacy.  Never mind that real White Supremacists, such as Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, want non-Whites to abort their children.
But pro-lifers instead defend children of all colors . . . which somehow gets twisted into “White Supremacy”, never mind the illogic.  A smear from Amanda Marcotte is especially blatant: “Not an exaggeration to say conservatives believe white women should be forced to breed in order to maintain white supremacy.”
So yes, trying to save children of all colors puts you in league with “White Supremacy”.  Just letting you know.

When “White Supremacy” Isn’t What You Think It Is

When most of us hear “White Supremacy,” we tend to think of the few Klansman and Neo-Nazis today, or the time of Jim Crow laws or of slavery in the past.  And we rightly oppose such.
The problem is when someone influenced by Critical Race Theory says “White Supremacy,” their definition is so broad as to encompass simply disagreeing with Leftists.  Further, opposing “White Supremacy” is actually used as a cover to promote and justify racism.
If you think I am being overwrought, examine this “Pyramid of White Supremacy” being used to teach “diversity”:

Let’s see.  If you oppose or claim reverse racism, you are about a third of the way to White Supremacist genocide.  Same for being color blind. So opposing racism is racism!

“Anti-Immigration Policies” – and we know that really means opposing illegal immigration and open borders – well that puts you two-thirds of the way to being guilty of genocide.  
Heck if you are just sick of all this racial division and politics and just want to be quiet and apolitical about it all, you too are part of the genocidal pyramid.
Oh, and a “Euro-Centric Curriculum” is about high way up the pyramid.  So if you educate about Western Civilization, that’s practically genocidal! (Have I mentioned totalitarians don't like history?)

I could go on but you get the picture: if you oppose a Leftist Critical Race Theory view of the world, you are probably a “White Supremacist”.
Now if you are thinking, “So what? It’s only loons who buy that silly pyramid,” then think again.  This ideology is being taught in schools and churches, including in the Southern Baptist Convention, which has now officially endorsed Critical Race Theory as an “analytical tool.”
I will leave aside for now the question of what should be done about this.  But at least be aware that those who talk and talk about “racism” and “White Supremacy” are probably using different definitions than you and other rational people.  Beware of the racialist division they are pushing.  And, yes, have the courage to oppose it.  It will take courage.

Democrats Go Deeper into Anti-Semitism

One would think it would be a no-brainer that a country has the right to bar from entry those who are publicly bigoted against its people and who are allied with those who oppose its very existence.  But if one’s brain is infected by anti-semitism, then apparently Israel has no right to bar from entry virulent anti-semites Ilhan Omar and Rachida Tlaib. (Israel did actually allow Tlaib entry to visit her grandmother, but she then refused the offer in what appears to be a set up designed to make Israel look bad.)
But for the rational, it is indeed a no-brainer that Israel is well within its rights to bar and defend itself from anti-semites like Omar and Tlaib. 
Now, of course, Omar and Tlaib are playing the victim – and lying to do so.  What astounds is that House Democrat leaders are backing them up and attacking Israel over this. Even relatively moderate Steny Hoyer has said Israel’s decision is “deeply disappointing,” “disrespectful,” and “unacceptable.”  And key House committee leaders are aiming to make life difficult for U. S. Ambassador to Israel and for Israel’s Ambassador to the U. S.
This anti-semitic double standard from Democrats is appalling. Heck, the U. K. has barred entry to people with less grounds.  Does only Israel not have the right to bar those hostile to its people, values, and even existence?
Early this year, I warned against the rise of anti-semitism in the West, here and while leading worship at my church.  That I was right to do so is sadly becoming more and more evident.

Child Trafficking Used by Criminals to Enter U. S.

Earlier this week in discussing the rampant child trafficking at the border, child smuggling used to game entry, I noted that rather suddenly men trying to enter are showing up with children.  I was skeptical about the motives, and I was right, of course: 
The Department of Homeland Security treats the expanded “Flores” decree like God’s word, releasing any illegal alien who crosses the border with a child, even if border personnel can’t confirm identities, criminal records, or whether they are threats to Americans or to the children they’re using as golden tickets.
Senator James Lankford, R-Okla., announced at yesterday’s Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing that border agents told him, on his recent trip to the border, that they found in two separate incidents that an alleged murderer and a convicted pedophile had each been released with a kid as part of the expanded Flores catch-and-release deadline of 20 days.
In one case, “they released an adult with a child and then found out two weeks later that that adult had a murder warrant in their home country, and they just released him into the country, and they could do nothing about it.” In another case, “they had released an adult traveling with a child and then found out after they were released when they got their criminal records in from home country that, that was a convicted pedophile from that country now traveling with a child somewhere in our country, and because we couldn’t detain them for longer than 20 days and we couldn’t get those criminal records, they’re released in the country, and they’re traveling with a child.”
When Lankford asked acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan whether border personnel were able to verify criminal status within the arbitrary 20-day deadline by the courts, he answered, “Not efficiently.”
So criminals are using child smuggling, combined with the 20 day deadline mandated by a California judge in the Flores decision, to be released into our country to prey on the rest of us.  And in case one thinks I am being alarmist about exceptional situations…
In every single group, almost without fail, there is someone with a criminal record, typically males with single kids,” [an anonymous] agent said. “There is a wide misconception about the majority of these people being females. They are overwhelmingly male. While we try to prioritize referrals for prosecution based on criminal history, we only have so many computers we can utilize and so many staff members.”
When I asked him if that means there are those with confirmed criminal records, even with convictions in the U.S., who have been released, he said, “Absolutely. … They are given a notice to appear in court like anyone else.”
And we know that most do not show up for their court hearings.
Again, sentimental thinking about children and families at the border is enabling child trafficking and other criminality.  Yes, families (not the fake ones) showing up at the border should be kept together . . . by sending them back across the border immediately if they don’t have proper documentation.  If they want and merit a hearing, they can wait for it across the border.  We must stop policies which make children a golden ticket to get in and thereby make them targets of child trafficking.
