The Old Regime’s Let Them Eat Cake Moment

Marie Antoinette never said Let Them Eat Cake, while the fawning defensiveness of the media over Obama’s birthday bash has been all too real.

When mankind is about to step off a deep precipice the silliness and selfishness of the elites purportedly leading a society often come into dramatic focus.

That our so-called ‘elites’ are increasingly dishonest, feckless and incompetent isn’t news— but it would be if journalists did their job.
Glen Greenwald is a voice crying in the wilderness. Too many of his peers in media are throne-sniffers who get a tingle up their leg when they see fascism.

Consider all the things our so-called ‘journalists’ ignored or got wrong just this past year: the riots that were called ‘mostly peaceful’, the rise of antifa ( just an idea, not an organization), the incoherent response to covid by various government agencies, the fraud surrounding the recent election and the censorship of its discussion— all of these stories were huge, and all were laundered to protect and serve our elites by a lapdog media.

When journalism falls to the depths ours has, decadent ‘elites’ are inevitable. This won’t end well.

Rather too much house for an elderly couple, but not retailing for $12 million. It originally belonged to Truman’s mother-in-law.

For 24 years, the Coolidges had a residence on the left side of this duplex. They relinquished it in 1930.

BTW, Grace Coolidge at age 61 was a lodger in the home of one Jennie Gere. The three elderly widows who lived in that house were attended to by a single live-in domestic, aged 26.

“Sophisticated, vaccinated crowd”…thanks for the laugh. So I read Pelosi was uninvited and she rocked up to a round of golf at Martha’s Vineyard anyway…?

“..the most powerful woman in Congress, and not even go to his party? I find that hilarious…And she’s the one carrying forward his agenda”

Meow.
