Image: A House Divided. 1960 SCENES FROM AMERICAN HISTORY, NO. 5 - A HOUSE DIVIDED, 1960. DRAMATIC FOOTAGE SUPPLIED BY THE AMERICAN MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY ILLUSTRATE[s] SOME OF THE CONCEPTS OF FREEDOM ON WHICH THE COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED. A BRIEF SUMMARY OF GEOGRAPHICAL EXPANSION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE NATION, AND AN EXPLANATION OF THE DIVISIVE FORCES WHICH SPLIT THE NORTH AND SOUTH, EVENTUATING IN THE CIVIL WAR. Victor Davis Hanson: @VDHanson; @HooverInst, Hoover Institution, and The Case for Trump,in re: China’s thinking, Give ’em enough rope. This is like what Mao did; “they’ll self-immolate.” Uyghurs, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan. That’s our enemies; as for our allies, they’re uncertain of the US. Macron heavily criticized the woke culture, called the US nihilistic and Bolshevik. Democrats let a genie out of the bottle. Biden is watching this: passively or wittingly? “If you can't beat ’em, join ’em. I’ll just ride the wave.” This is all the most radical deeds since FDR. Somebody will go too far: Jacobins’s executions? Or, as with McCarthy: Have you no decency? If it gets out of hand, and Kerenskyites take over . . . Mao, after having been dismissed, took over. People here may say, I need to be woke as an insurance policy.
