You’re Now Required to Judge a Book by Its Cover

Tucker Carlson, Fox News, February 17, 2023

Ever notice how the biggest stories get the least attention? Weird how that works. The fake duchess from Santa Monica spends an hour talking to Oprah about her skincare regime and it’s the lead of every morning show in America. Joe Biden institutes a government-wide system of racial discrimination that dwarfs Jim Crow and nobody seems to notice. It happened yesterday, by the way. Did you know that? Probably not, because there was no press conference or signing ceremony, no media coverage, but 24 hours ago, it happened.

Biden restructured the entire executive branch of the U.S. government to discriminate on the basis of immutable characteristics. He made that announcement on the White House website and it proclaims that within 30 days, every federal agency, all of them from the Department of Justice to NASA, to the Social Security Administration, all of them all must “ensure” that they have an agency equity team within their respective agencies to coordinate the implementation of equity initiatives and these Maoist equity teams will report to something called the Gender Policy Council and the White House “environmental justice officer.” {snip}

We do know that running all of this, which is the largest racial tracking bureaucracy since the fall of Nazi Germany, will be former President Barack Obama and he’ll be doing that as always through his long-time lackey and cut out Susan Rice. Rice’s goal, the goal of the entire initiative, is to place the federal government, all of it, in opposition to a very specific slice of the American population, not a foreign population, our own population. Here’s how it works: Every single person in the United States will qualify for one of Joe Biden’s many protected categories except straight White men.

So, we’re all in this together, except those guys who are on the outs. It’s all of us versus them, straight White men. They will not be protected because they are, by virtue of being straight and White and male, the cause of the problem. They’re the enemy. So, this is a big change and it’s got enormous consequences.  Among other things, it makes you wonder why would straight White men continue to pay their taxes? And by the way, what percentage of taxes in the United States are paid by straight White men? That’s one statistic you never hear. Why is that?

But if you’re one of them, you may wonder, “Wait, I’m working half the year for the government, which takes my money and then uses it to demonize me and disenfranchise me from a government I thought I was an equal owner of. I thought we were all in this together? We’re all citizens, but I still pay half my income to people who hate me? Why would I do that? It seems masochistic.”

Well, you do that because you have no choice. The IRS has more guns than you do. It’s that simple. Meanwhile, don’t expect a government contract or an SBA loan or even decent service from the clerk of the DMV. You’re a domestic enemy now. You’re an English-speaking version of Vladimir Putin. The equity agenda is your personal sanctions regime. It’s amazing if you think about it. And someday we’ll all pause long enough to wonder how this could have happened in a country that claims to love the civil rights movement and build monuments to it.

No one has benefited more from these new standards, these very inflexible, genetics-based standards more than Kamala, Carmella, Carmela, whatever you’re calling her, the vice president. Now, she hasn’t, strictly speaking, been a success. She supposed to keep the peace in Ukraine. That resulted in a war. She supposed to secure the border. 7 million illegals later, you can’t say she actually did a good job. She supposed to get Joe Biden’s voting rights bill passed in Congress.

She hasn’t actually done a lot by traditional standards. But she’s a first and that means we are forever grateful for her and actually, we are. We’re not mocking because if she wasn’t on the scene, we’d never hear things like this:

KAMALA HARRIS: We will maintain the perspective that we have in terms of what should be the relationship between China and the United States. That is not going to change, but surely and certainly that balloon was not helpful, which is why we shot it down. 

Did you hear that? First of all, is anyone at home keeping track of the use of the phrase “in terms of,” which doesn’t actually mean anything? It’s filler in a sentence that dumb people use to appear like they know what they’re talking about, or more precisely, to give them time to think through what they’re saying as they’re saying it. Whatever. She’s a chronic user of “in terms of,” but a new policy has been announced by Kamala Harris and that is that all “non-helpful balloons” will be shot down.

Now, unfortunately, hot air balloon season is starting soon in Albuquerque and around the country. Are they going to be shut down? Are they helpful balloons or unhelpful balloons in terms of shutting them down, in terms of vis-à-vis. Balloons across America need some clarification on that, but whatever. She’s a first. Shut up.
