This is Why Baseball
…is no longer America’s Pastime. Although it has become the Extreme Left’s Woke-time and it comes with a measure of naked racism.
These are some demographics for Atlanta, GA, which was going to host major league baseball’s All Star game and for Denver, CO, which now is going to host that All Star game, after baseball’s management team, led by Robert Manfred, unilaterally chose to take the game away over Manfred’s angst from Georgia’s new voter law. Since that law expanded voter access to ballots and to voting generally while increasing the integrity of both, and since Colorado’s voter law is substantially identical to Georgia’s new law, I have to wonder what Manfred has against minorities or against blacks in particular.
Lies of Progressive-Democrats
Yet more of them, this time centered on jobs for American citizens.
Here’s what Moody’s Analytics said about President Joe Biden’s $2.2 trillion American Jobs Plan Spend-a-Thon to which is attached some bucks for actual infrastructure work:
The firm estimated that the US economy will add roughly 16.3 million jobs between the fourth quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2030. If Biden’s proposal were to pass, Moody’s Analytics economists estimated that the US economy would add 19 million jobs over the same time period—indicating the proposal would be responsible for about 2.7 million jobs.
We Got What They Asked For
A letter writer in Sunday’s Wall Street Journal‘s Letters noted that
In the 2020 election, the US Chamber of Commerce backed 23 incumbent House Democrats, 15 of whom won. Six of the 15 won narrowly, by 3.3% or less. Without those six seats, Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t be speaker. The chamber helped hand her the gavel.
The consequences were predictable. House Democrats have passed the PRO Act, ““a labor-rights bill that would roll back many of the policies the chamber has supported for decades” (U.S. News, March 13). Without any Republican support, House Democrats passed HR1, the misnamed For the People Act, which the chamber “strongly opposes.”
Arrogance
The head of the Progressive-Democratic Party, President Joe Biden, has no immediate plans to visit our southern border in person and see for himself the crisis exploding there.
…he intends to travel to the southern border “at some point,” telling reporters that he is in no rush to visit because “I know what’s going in those facilities.”
He already knows what’s going on; he doesn’t want to be confused with facts.
Or, Biden is channeling Gold Hat:
Facts? I ain’t got no facts. I don’t need no facts. I don’t have to see any stinkin’ facts!
“Pope Struggles to Contain Conservative-Liberal Tensions in Catholic Church”
That’s the headline on a Wall Street Journal article about the purported struggles of Pope Francis to manage the church of which he’s the nominal [sic] head.
For me, though, as a personally religious man who’s neither a Catholic nor enamored of institutional religion in general, I’m confused by this struggle.
How can there be any struggle? Why are the tensions accepted as something to be taken seriously?
The Church’s tenets are inviolate; morals are universal and inviolate.
All that might vary over time or across cultures is the way in which those tenets, morals generally, are upheld, defended, and enforced.
You’re Not Like Us
Bion Bartning, Co-founder of Eos Products and Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism President, wrote in Sunday‘s Wall Street Journal of his children’s experience in what used to be (my characterization) a top-drawer private school, New York City’s Riverdale Country School.
The lower-school head had earlier written that “it is essential that parents/caregivers and educators acknowledge racial differences (as opposed to a ‘colorblind’ stance)” and offered reading recommendations such as Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility.” Families at Riverdale are encouraged to join school-sponsored “affinity” groups to bond with people from their ethnicity or skin color.
Then the Bartnings raised concerns to the school’s administration.
Weasel Words
We saw the value of Senator Joe Manchin’s (D, WV) promises and commitments when he said that he would not support a bill that didn’t have support and input from “his Republican friends”—and then voted for reconciliation on the Progressive-Democrats’ $1.9 trillion Wuhan Virus “relief” bill, passed on strictly party lines. And then he voted for the bill itself on strictly party lines. In neither case was there support from his “Republican friends.”
Manchin also has said he’s against doing away with the filibuster. Here, though, we’re beginning to see another example of the valuelessness of his commitments.
Kancel Kulture
Now the Left is after Dr Seuss.
Dr Seuss Enterprises said it will stop publishing six of the author’s books due to racial and insensitive imagery.
On the Kancel Kulture’s Fahrenheit 451 List are
- And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street
- If I Ran the Zoo
- McElligot’s Pool
- On Beyond Zebra!
- Scrambled Eggs Super!
- The Cat’s Quizzer
Never mind that these books, along with the rest of Dr Seuss’ works, fit perfectly the times in which they were written.
Not Serious
The Wall Street Journal claims pressure is growing on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign over allegations of his sexual harassment.
Gov Andrew Cuomo Faces Growing Calls From New York Democrats to Resign
goes the headline. And
US Congresswoman Kathleen Rice, of Long Island, became one of the highest-profile New York Democrats to call for Mr Cuomo to step down.
I’m having trouble seeing the pressure. So far, all that’s going on is a lot of loud chit-chat.
