Our New Antoinettes

Marie Antoinette, beheaded wife of the beheaded French Bourbon King Charles Louis XVI, did not really say "Let them cake." But in the short time that the French Revolution became utterly unhinged, toxic, and nihilistic, she became iconic as an out-of-touch elite who had lived in a make-believe world at Versailles, without a clue about the ordeal of the masses

The modern left-wing elite are becoming our version of Antoinettes

• The worries of the Antoinette liberal elite-climate change, abortion on demand, transgenderism, strict gun-control-are not those that terrify the middle and lower classes.
• Why Democrats are currently unpopular transcends even Joe Biden's daily, dangerous, and tragic loss of cognition
• Their low ratings arise more from the implementation of an array of disastrous policies dreamed up at Left-wing university departments and think tanks. As a result, voters have concluded that the Left "just doesn't care."

Biden will drain the strategic petroleum reserve on four apparent Orwellian principles

• Joe Biden tells the public "Putin did it"-although prices soared well before the Ukraine War
• Biden will not reconsider pipelines, new federal leases, or his green demonization of fracking
• Oil pumped into an underground vault and then pumped back out does not exude the stigma of pristine oil pumped first out of the ground

Bottom Line

• Biden looks to the reserve, the Russians, the Saudis, the Venezuelans, and the Iranians to pump more of the awful fuel that America has in abundance, needs desperately-and should not dare extract.
• Commercial air travel is in near shambles. Shortages of everything from baby formula to tampons are making America seem akin to the old Soviet Union. For Biden's cabinet, this disaster is called "transitioning" to a better green future.

Hunter Biden, without any apparent income, is renting a $20,000 a month Malibu mansion

• The elite know that Hunter's prior income came from quid pro quo shakedowns of foreign governments
• He failed to pay taxes in a manner that would earn any other American a jail sentence.

Gavin Newsom lectured Californians on why they must wear masks and avoid social gatherings even as he declined to do so while enjoying a birthday party at the pricey French Laundry restaurant in Napa

• Now Newsom preens that California won't pay for its state employees to travel to supposedly backward, homophobic Montana for business trips
• Newsom has no problem dragging his costly state security detail to his in-laws' tony Montana ranch
• Michelle and Barack Obama pontificate to Americans about their racist, sexist, and homophobic pathologies from their Washington, D.C. Kalorama digs or Martha's Vineyard chateau

The left-wing has a problem

• The Democratic Party is run by billionaires and is the sanctimonious party of highly compensated bicoastal professionals
• Both have agendas that transcend the middle class and reflect the reality that they care little for those who cannot match their wealth and tastes
• Left-wing elite has the means to ensure that it is never subject to the disasters that naturally follow from its own ideological bankruptcy
