Here are a couple of brave souls who give us hope for our sorry race after all. 

First up is “Clive Palmer, a mining magnate and former federal MP” in Australia. He “dropped off anti-vaccine leaflets across the country over the weekend,” according to an article Bill Martin forwarded to me. 

Predictably, Mr. Palmer’s earned Marxists’ ire even as normal Aussies praise his efforts to save lives.

Then there’s Tatiana Ibrahim in Carmel, New York:

She stood up at a school board meeting and gave the board members what-for because the teachers in her children’s school district are bringing Marxism to the classroom in the form of Critical Race Theory (CRT), defund the police lessons, and other leftist concepts.

If you need encouragement today as much as I did, thrill to her “what-for”! She repeatedly defies the mushy-mouths on the board; for example, when they try to silence her by claiming she’s violated their “policies,” she demands, “Who sets your policies? You? We never voted on them. And why should I obey them? I don’t work for you, you work for me.” A Masked Moron on the board retorts that she’s an unpaid volunteer, which may be true but misleading. Ms. Ibrahim doesn’t let her get away with it: “We pay for the chair you’re sitting in and the lights overhead,” she fires back (forgive my paraphrase; it doesn’t do Ms. Ibrahim justice). 

The only thing disturbing about this video is the passivity of the other parents in the room. They should be applauding her wildly. Instead, they sit there…

And that passivity is large part of the reason we’re in this current mess.

Pray God He raises more defenders of civilization as courageous as Mr. Palmer and Ms. Ibrahim against the barbarians at the gates.
