CONTEXT

A compilation of quotations on a variety of issues by national, state and regional writers, well-known personalities, just plain everyday people and from various publications collected by the editors of THE ADVANCE.

Quotes for our Times:

Austin Bay, author of three novels: Uncle Sam needs you for a counter-psychological warfare strategy.

I pointed out in a recent column that the Department of Defense, by including so-called critical race theory in training programs, risks seeding distrust and discord that undermines unit cohesion and command authority, and, quite simply, damns respect for fellow service members as individual human beings. Stripped of academic poppycock, CRT confines Americans to racial castes — which means it is disgustingly racist. Since CRT insists on division, it is inherently divisive.

Guy Benson, Townhall.com's Political Editor: Heh: To protest Georgia's new voting law, Hollywood film shifts production to…a state with stricter laws.

And in spite of more panicked begging from Abrams et al, additional pain is being visited upon Georgia. Apple is reportedly pulling up stakes and moving its production of a motion picture starring Will Smith out of the state, taking revenue and jobs with it. The impetus, of course, is the voting law that Democrats and activists have mischaracterized and distorted beyond recognition. The horse is out of Stacey Abrams' barn, and she can't cajole it back inside.

Thomas Lifson, writer for American Thinker:

Mystery of how BLM co-founder could afford millions for 4 houses only beginning to be solved as documents surface.

Kudos to Andrew Kerr of the Daily Caller News Foundation for digging up documents filed with the state of California that reveal some of the big bucks that Patrisse Cullors, AKA Patrisse Khan Cullors, has raked in to help pay for her amazing real estate buying binge. So far, she and her partner, Janaya Khan, have reportedly laid out $3.2 million for four properties across the United States, including a hideaway in lily-white Topanga Canyon, suitable for watching rioters burn urban neighborhoods in complete safety.

Other black activists have been outraged and calling for investigations into where the $90 million reportedly raised by the Black Lives Matter Foundation has gone.

Rick Fuentes, writer for American Thinker:

Stupid is as stupid votes.

If congressional resolutions had a voice, House Bill 1 (HB1), at 30 pounds a considerably obese tome, would let slip the parts usually kept at bay from the electorate. The For the People Act of 2021 is the antonymic title for the most openly unconstitutional and unpopular piece of legislation ever to pass muster in the House of Representatives. It is intended to destroy the process of fair elections in America, turn the watchdog Federal Election Commission into a partisan body, and forestall any state challenges by remanding them to the activist 9th District Court for the District of Columbia. . .

As written by Arthur Conan Doyle and stated by his protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. If you remove outright stupidity as a premise in the creation of SB1, you’re left with a nefarious intent to seize power in perpetuity.
