This past week I made the mistake of watching a few scenes from the Senate confirmation hearings for the appointment of RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health, and of Kash Patel as Director of the FBI. The behavior of the Democratic senators was beyond sickening. Especially disturbing was Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren, who, despite her mouth being sore from endlessly licking the boots of Big Pharma, managed to launch a loud and nasty attack on RFK Jr.

I cannot recall seeing a more vile performance by a person in a position of authority. This shrieking hag, in the space of a mere five minutes, displayed every aspect of rotten behavior: tone of voice, volume, posture, hypocrisy, pettiness, vulgarity, slander, arrogance; in short, the very picture of the totalitarian monster in full bloom.

I asked myself: Did such creatures always exist among us? The answer, of course, is yes. The difference is, that in the past they had to control themselves. Such outbursts would not have been tolerated, years ago. For heaven's sake, this is a confirmation hearing, not a mother scolding a child.

​The show trials of the USSR are an eerie reminder of what happens when this kind of behavior gets out of hand. The genie must be stuffed back into the bottle.
