Opening eyes is a metaphor. Nothing is “seen” only perhaps realized.

Let me ask it this way instead. What hard, solid facts have brought you to the conclusions or characterizations you have offered?

Comment on what I wrote. I would hope in depth. Is there verity in any part of it? If yes, what? If not, please explain why not.

You mean the impassioned yahoos who let themselves be corralled into the building by Capitol police? The ones bein' railroaded into prison for trespassing? The ones who, if they'd truly been insurrectionists, could have taken out the majority of the Legislature in an afternoon?

The yahoos didn’t even use any ordinance, like Bill Ayers did, an influencer of Obama who, because he is a radical and violent Leftist and was not a tourist wandering through the rotunda, was rewarded with a teaching position in the Leftist-controlled academia rather than a dank, mold and bug infested cell in the dungeons of DC.

Ayers was successful with his intent as a Leftist insurrectionist/bomber, if only for his influence on those Democrat Insurrectionists who hate America enough to fundamentally change it. It just took a little time.

Public education in Baltimore is controlled by The Democrats.
Making the little children stupid is another way for The Democrats to Hate America.


At 13 Baltimore City high schools, zero students tested proficient on 2023 state math exam

Zero students. A result like that can only be intentional.

The test must be too hard. The Leftist solution? Blame Trump (somehow) and make the test easier, which will require an increase in funding, a raise for teachers, and more administrative staff.

Exactly right. Some insurrection that was: no hangings, no tar & featherings, nobody, 'cept a yahoo, actually shot.

But neither the Democrats nor Trump were mentioned in the article. Are you obsessed?

These perspectives make the most sense to me.

The next year is going to be full of intensity and (I’d guess) strange surprises.

Oh dear. Poor fellow needs to be told what to think by the media, but only select media. Allow me to elaborate.

They certainly trained you well to not think of causes or connect dots.

The Democrats run the schools in Baltimore. The schools are not teaching math.

Ergo, as an expression of their hatred for America, The Democrat Party is keeping the little children stupid, because, it's not like how to teach math is a mystery, although it well may be for teachers who were indoctrinated as children in US government schools.

Keeping the little children stupid about math and many other things, such as Civics and History, makes the indoctrination easier. The little children will view their world through the filters of their Democrat Party indoctrinations, until they are old enough to vote Democrat, which will be 16** if The Democrat Party that Hates America has its way, and it easily could since the teachers invariably vote Democrat and thus are likely to make it so, with their wily ways of any means necessary, along with from each according to his ability*, to each according to his need (easily remembered indoctrinations.)

Because of their indoctrinations, by the time they are wearing big-boy and big-girl clothes (unlike US Senator Fetterman who was elected by Democrats while he was convelesing from a stroke, because they Hate America and likely Fetterman too) the indoctrinated adults could easily view as obsessed those who accurately connect the dots, such as myself, to arrive at logical, rational, pertinent and real-world-based conclusions, as a matter of routine ... say, the possibility does exist that you are a baselessly proud graduate of the Baltimore school system. Could it be?

The little children, indoctrinated by The Party that Hates America (to stay on point), will know all about obsession by the time they can vote, because part of their indoctrination from early on is to be obsessed with educational non sequiturs such as sexual identity, sexual acts, sexual perversions and fashionable expressions of that sexually such as cross dressing and corn holing (but not the nuclear family expression of heterosexuality) ... none of which was specifically not mentioned in the article.

** Vote Democrat or you will get an F. (unofficial threat)
* Except those who have ability in math.

Speaking of Fetterman ...

Did you know that Nancy Pelosi's (D) adult daughter was pushing Senator Feinstein around the capital building in a wheelchair so she could cast Senate votes affecting the USA right up until the day she (Feinstein) died, and when voting she did not even have power of attorney over her own affairs. For the Democrats it's Party First, not humanity.

Really Alexis? I thought you had more discernment.

It seems that an important part of your post should have been explaining why the views of Victor Davis Hanson are not discerning ones.

It seems that an important part of your post should have been specifying whose perspectives you were recommending to us as making the most sense. I found myself listening to Tucker Carlson’s “perspectives” and naturally assumed you meant them.

ETA: I found where Hanson’s contribution starts. How many of his jaundiced views do I have to suffer before I get to the ones that you think make sense?
