Radical cancel culture is one of the most destructive forces in America today. It’s no secret it has infiltrated virtually every sphere of our lives, whether our public schools, colleges, government institutions or corporations.

Since the first buses arrived in Chicago from southern-border states in late August, both Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) have been publicly critical, even hinting at a criminal investigation into the actions of southern governors -- in particular, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R). Abbott's "Operation Lone Star" gained national attention when it started to bus migrants from the Texas-Mexico border to self-declared "sanctuary cities" New York City, then Washington, D.C. and in late August, Chicago.
Unless you were at the Capitol on January 6, federal prosecutors don’t target you for prison for simply possessing marijuana. In fact, in this era of marijuana as the national pastime, you won’t find anyone originally targeted by prosecutors for nothing more than simple possession serving time in prison.

With the high profile programs of Republican governors of Texas, Arizona and Florida to bus asylum seekers to sanctuary cities like Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, and Martha's Vineyard, not a day goes by when another bus with migrants arrive at a sanctuary city from one of the governors.

The government can deny you entry into every public university in New York state for not injecting a private novel product into your body or covering your breathing holes all day with a dirty mask. And now, the government can force a private Jewish college to not only accept you but accept a union dedicated to promoting homosexuality and every other sexual behavior codified by the ever-evolving alphabet soup of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Elephant Party seems to be counting on President Biden’s awful performance and a reeling economy to generate a congressional reset.
