Victor Davis Hanson is a brilliant man. Very smart. Much more humanely intelligent than I am. Perhaps part of the problem in using the correct language, which almost to a person we have trouble with in America, in Western nations is people either truly humanely intelligent desiring to fit in, be accepted by the world, or perhaps not all that bright but still wanting to comply, appease, please the world and not appear different from the world.
Because using correct language and not succumbing to the world, not embracing, adopting, accepting, and approving of the word’s errant language does not make one incomprehensible or unable to be understood. In fact, using the correct language brings clarity. Precision. Accuracy. And, oh yes, a minor detail to most these days — the truth!
We are NOT in a “progressive woke revolution,” or a culture war, or a political war but we are in, IT’S ALL FOUNDED AND PART OF WITH NO DISSECTION in the spiritual war between God, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the immutable inerrant infallible Word of God and God’s true people [this does not automatically include anyone calling themselves a Christian or an evangelical in this last of the last days times] and everyone else.
There are no third options. Independent parties. Diversity of truths in this.
Every person on earth is either truly one of God’s people or they are one of Satan’s, the world’s, refusing the Lord, refusing His truth, His Word, and no matter if they claim to be Christian or evangelical and by their words, their deeds, the fruit they bear reveal they love the world more, they side with the world more, well, then, they are the world’s and not the Lord’s
How difficult is that to see and understand and acknowledge?
Afraid of judging? Well, you judge everything in this life. If we did not we would not be alive nor able to function. This whole do not judge dung emanates from Satan, just as he lied and seduced and deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden, “surely you will not die,” is no “do not judge,” taken out of context and given its slight Satan tweaking of words, telling you that if you’re a loving Christian you cannot, ought not judge anything or anyone!
Utter rubbish. And not only utter rubbish. That belief, that way of living goes directly against the Word of God, not in support of the Word of God!
Wise and careful discernment — judging — is vital to living the Christian faith according to the Word of God. Look it up in the Word of God if you refuse to accept and believe that and you have been more an adherent and follower of the world over being a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, a true child of God, a true Bible-aware, Bible-believing believer.
Time to no longer be appeasing, spineless, silent, thinking we’re doing right when it’s been all wrong because the silence, the appeasement, the complicity, the inclusion, the tolerance of sin and evil is in fact belonging to Satan’s legions and not the Lord’s.
The world does not know what true love as written and defined in God’s Word is.
Do not confuse what sounds good, and feels good according to modern and post-modern philosophies and worldly doctrines muddle, muddy, and taint, pollute, and confuse the crystal clear and eternally sound words of the God-breathed Holy Bible.
Everything, EVERYTHING no matter what, where, who, or why has at its root, its core the spiritual war taking place within and around every person on earth. Escalating by the minute in America and the West. And in not seeing that, not speaking and writing as such whatever is then said or written misses the mark. Completely.
Like being a supposed sharpshooter with great vision [a true Christian] and when daily practicing keeping sharp and hitting the target dead center aiming to the far right, the far left, or below the target and not spot on with accuracy. Hitting the mark as the profession dictates.
Take careful aim. Fully and well equipped in the whole armour of God. Prepared for the times. Unafraid of offending the world or anyone in it more than being unafraid of offending God Almighty and the Saviour Who bled and died for our sins.

Post-Postmodern America
What the Woke Revolution desperately depends on.
September 19, 2023
By Victor Davis Hanson
Reprinted from FrontPageMag
When the progressive woke revolution took over traditional America, matters soon reached the level of the ridiculous.
Take the following examples of woke craziness and hypocrisy, perhaps last best witnessed during Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution.
The Biden administration from its outset wished to neuter immigration law. It sought to alter radically the demography of the U.S. by stopping the border wall and allowing into the United States anyone who could walk across the southern border.
Over seven million did just that. Meanwhile, Biden ignored the role of the Mexican cartels in causing nearly 100,000 ANNUAL American fentanyl deaths.
Then border states finally wised up.
They grasped that the entire open-borders, “new Democratic majority” leftwing braggadocio was predicated on its hypocritical architects staying as far away as possible from their new constituents.
So cash strapped border states started busing their illegal aliens to sanctuary blue-state jurisdictions.
Almost immediately, once magnanimous liberals, whether in Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, or Manhattan, stopped virtue-signaling their support for open borders.
Instead, soon they went berserk over the influx.
So now an embarrassed Biden administration still wishes illegal aliens to keep coming but to stay far away from their advocates—by forcing them to remain in Texas.
That means the president has redefined the US. border. It rests now apparently north of Texas, as Biden cedes sovereignty to Mexico.
Precivilizational greens in California prefer blowing up dams to building them.
They couldn’t care less that their targeted reservoirs help store water in drought, prevent flooding, enhance irrigation, offer recreation, and generate clean hydroelectric power.
Now an absurd green California is currently destroying four dams on the Klamath River. In adding insult to injury, it is paying the half-billion dollar demolition cost in part through a water bond that state voters once thought would build new—not explode existing—dams.
The Biden administration is mandating new dates when electric vehicles will be all but mandatory.
To prove their current viability, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm led a performance art EV caravan on a long road trip.
When she found insufficient charging stations to continue her media stunt, she sent a gas-powered car ahead to block open charging stations and deny them to other EVs ahead in line.
Only that way could Granholm ensure that her arriving energy-starved motorcade might find rare empty charger stalls.
In some California charging stations, diesel generators are needed to produce enough “clean” electricity to power the stalls.
The state has steadily dismantled many of its nuclear, oil, and coal power plants. It refuses to build new natural gas generation plants.
Naturally, California’s heavily subsidized solar and wind plants now produce too much energy during the day and almost nothing at night.
So the state now begs residents to charge their EVs only during the day. Then at night, Californians may soon be asked to plug them in again to transfer what is left in their batteries into the state grid.
Apparently only that way will there be enough expropriated “green” electricity for 41 million state residents after dark.
One of the loudest leftist voices to defund the police, and decriminalize violent crimes in the post-George Floyd era, was Shivanthi Sathanandan, the 2nd Vice Chairwoman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
She was recently not shy about defunding: “We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. Say it with me. DISMANTLE.”
But recently the loud Sathanandan was a victim of the very crime wave she helped to spawn.
Four armed thugs carjacked her automobile. They beat her up in front of her children at her own home, and sped off without fear of arrest.
The reaction of the arch police dismantler and decriminalizer on her road to Damascus?
The now bruised and bleeding activist for the first time became livid that criminals had taken over her Minneapolis: “Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.”
Andrea Smith was an ethnic studies professor at the University of California, Riverside. But now she has been forced out after getting caught lying that she was Native American.
Prior to her outing, she was well known for damning “white women” (like herself) who opted to “become Indians” out of guilt, and (like her) for careerist advantage.
The common theme of these absurdities is how contrary to human nature, impractical, and destructive is utopian wokism, whether in matters of energy, race, crime, or illegal immigration.
There are two other characteristics of the Woke Revolution.
One, it depends solely on its advocates never having to experience firsthand any of the nonsense they inflict on others.
And two, dangerous zealots with titles before, and letters after, their names prove to be quite stupid—and dangerous.
