War Is Hell

As General William Tecumseh Sherman famously said, "War is hell." But it has a way of clearing the cobwebs and stupidity out of people's heads. 

A year ago, every Ukrainian was worried about the things we all worried about – getting to work on time, making our mortgage or rent payment, getting the kids to school, etc, etc. Young Ukrainians worried about playing video games after finishing their homework. 

Now, they're all rushing to get guns, dodging Russian bombs and missiles, and learning how to make Molotov cocktails.

But here in America, far from the war, leftist silliness is still on full display. 

• In the event of a nuclear war between the United States and Russia, government bureaucrats think it's really important that you have your mask on and stay socially distanced from people not part of your household while taking shelter in your basement.

• Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of the anti-American 1619 Project, tweeted over the weekend that Europe really isn't a continent and that concerns about the bloodshed in Ukraine are just racist dog whistles.

• The federal government is wasting your tax dollars on critical race theory programs that declare the concept of being "colorblind to race" racist. Just another example of how the radical left today rejects Martin Luther King's dream of a colorblind society where we are judged based on the content of our character, not the color of our skin.

• And what are congressional liberals doing today? You might think they would be debating sanctions against Russia or ways to boost U.S. energy independence. But, no. Instead, there are attempting to ram radical pro-abortion legislation through the Senate.
