Daily News Roundup

The Daily News Roundup will resume on Monday, June 5th.

 

In the meantime, please consider the 5/30 featured article below by a new writer for The Prickly Pear. Conlan Salgado is a college student with keen insight into the pernicious “woke” ideology that is poisoning our culture and way of life. His astute observation that by the radical left capturing much of the political ground in America and its deep presence in the administrative leviathan of the Executive branch of government and throughout the system, the cultural decay we are experiencing is increasingly self-perpetuating.

There are five NOTABLE QUOTES below Mr. Conlan’s essay from recent Daily News Roundups. They address the cultural decay the progressive and radical left has cast upon these United States and the hardworking and good American people over many decades.  The NOTABLE QUOTES below are all accurate and well written by established authors but none address the solution to the cultural crisis in America as we lurch toward tyranny and the loss of individual liberty, accelerated by the Obama and Biden administrations and their deep state actors.

Mr. Salgado does address the solution and makes clear that the American electorate must take the nation and its culture back by first winning politically and then cleaning out the deeply infiltrated and criminalized stalls of the deep state. Conservative political victories, especially of the White House in 2024, are the key to recapturing our culture and American traditional values and exceptionalism.

 

Conlan Salgado: Why Politics is More Important than Culture Right Now

 

NOTABLE QUOTES

Jeffrey Folks contributor to American Thinker: It’s not enough just to have a few in politics and the media oppose the woke ideology.  What is necessary is a widespread rejection of practices and ideas that we consider wrong.  Americans need to decide, once and for all, whether they want the future of our country to be in the hands of decent, hardworking citizens with traditional values or in the hands of those who, by their own admission, wish to “transform” America into a country defined by extreme and antagonistic ideologies.  All that is necessary is for ordinary Americans to regain their belief in the rightness and worth of their identity and to speak out whenever that identity is derided or dismissed.  It is late in the day, but it is not too late to restore a nation with shared values of goodness, decency, and order.  That is the prescription for health, prosperity, and security.

John Daniel Davidson contributor to The Federalist: . . . rest assured that every person in America is going to have to pick a side. If you don’t pick a side then your side will by default be that of the Machine, which dominates the heights of our post-Christian culture and economy. Whatever your opinion of transgenderism or identity politics, the Machine will suck you in and ensnare you unless you make a conscious choice to stand against it. So choose, and choose wisely. Your country — and, more importantly, your soul — depends on it.

Jeffrey Ludwig contributor to American Thinker: Just as the Israelites were held in a socio-economic bondage and needed a miraculous intervention to save them, we in the USA need more than personal resolve and more than what Christians sometimes call “a revival” to save us from the vice that penetrates our culture.  Will such a miraculous event come?  What will it look like?  How will it manifest?

 Christian Adams contributor to PJMedia: So far, the outlandish course offerings demonstrate that elite law schools have become training academies not so much for effective and competent lawyers, but instead for militant transformational radicals with law degrees. It affects the nation as well as your lives. These graduates from elite law schools have outsized influence in government, on the courts, in academia, and corporate America.  They have enjoyed an elevated brand, free from scrutiny from mainstream Americans.

Paul Gottfried contributor to American Greatness: Those who belong to the woke Left are held together by overlapping interests and shared passions. Not all wokesters support the same causes and certainly not with equal intensity. Thus, warriors against climate change like Karl Schwab and Bill Gates don’t often speak up for the sexual transitioning of children or call for allowing biological males claiming to be women to compete in female sports events. One can likewise read the racialist diatribes of Corey Bush, Ibram X. Kendi, or Al Sharpton without likely running into attacks on fossil fuels or gas stoves. The point is not that these allies never agree on anything. It is that their alliance is looser than some might imagine.It also seems their collaboration is based mostly on what they loathe rather than what they like. Above all, these collaborators share a chief villain, whom all woke leftists can be counted on to hate, namely, a white male Christian, perhaps living in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s postal district and spewing politically incorrect speech, when he’s not reading the Bible or driving his gas-guzzling car.
