Kathy Manning's Lack of Insight: Highlighted on Breitbart

Rep. Kathy Manning is a member of Congress who represents the 6th Congressional District which includes Guilford County and part of Forsyth County. She is a Jewish woman who resides in Greensboro.

Twice over the last couple of weeks, she has earned mentions on Breitbart.

On May 26, she was part of a group of Jewish House democratic socialists who urged the President to appoint an anti-Semitism czar or "ambassador". They cited anti-Semitic incidents in New York, California and Florida. They also took to task fellow democratic socialists in the House who had criticized Israel.

Then a few days ago, she was once again part of a group of Jewish House democratic socialists who criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar for comments she had made comparing the United States and Israel to Hamas terrorists. 

This is very interesting. I wonder if the people of this part of North Carolina understood this was going to be one of Ms. Manning's major interests in Congress.

The reports about Rep. Manning's activism came around the same time another report described how 49 Jewish groups had issued a call for amnesty for illegal aliens.

The problem for these Jewish groups and for Ms. Manning is a lack of insight. Who has committed most of the anti-Semitic incidents of late? African-Americans and Muslims and those with roots in the Middle East.

It is ironic because the progressive/socialist Jewish community in the United States has tended to deify American blacks because of their history of oppression many years ago; and has tended to use them to facilitate increased levels of socialism in the United States.

It is also ironic because Jewish Americans also were critical for passage of the 1965 immigration law that opened up immigration to nearly all parts of the world including the Middle East and Africa. They continue to advocate for high levels of non-Western immigration. The 49 Jewish groups pushing for amnesty for illegals as described above is but one manifestation of their zeal for immigration.

But all of this "diversity" they seek produces a population with numerous members who embrace radical Islam, or who wish violence toward Israel and/or the Jewish people.

The irony is that they love taking up the cause of those who would hurt them; and they advocate to bring them here. Ilhan Omar is but one example.

The Failure of the Cone Health System Merger, and the Problems We Still Have

It was unexpected to learn last week that the planned merger between the Cone Health System and Sentara had failed. The explanation offered up to the public was that a clash of corporate cultures led to this outcome.

We must understand, however, that in circumstances such as these, the explanation served up for public consumption might not represent the whole truth. Other dynamics might have been present.

The Triad Business Journal had a few good articles on this topic earlier this week. 

My recollection is that the hospital systems were to be deluged with bailout monies from the federal government-- and other sources of revenue-- because of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the articles linked above suggested that Attorney General Josh Stein may not have been of a disposition to approve the deal.

Where does this leave us? We continue to have two problems.

First, Cone Health still has a regional monopoly for emergency health services in the eastern Triad, as we have noted previously. The territory in question comprises over 800 square miles. And that monopoly feeds directly into cardiac care and orthopedic care-- two of the major profit centers for modern hospital systems.

Second, the Cone Health system has adopted a culturally Marxist, "woke", socialist political posture. A great example of this is a video that has been circulating around from the system's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) section. The DEI Vice President interviews several nurses, and they all celebrate how LGBTQ friendly they are, and how their "learning" has assisted them toward this end. Of note is that these are obstetric staff serving lesbian couples, implying that children are being birthed into this type of "family". The clear message is that we are to affirm and celebrate all of this. A mere non-judgmental approach-- typical of health care in the past-- is insufficient for left wing corporations such as these lustily pursuing market share. The system goes out of its way to celebrate something that is morally and ethically wrong-- and something of considerable concern for orthodox Christians. The children of these same-sex unions apparently are of no concern.

The video can be found here, in case you would like to view it.

Human Life Nondiscrimination Act Passed in NC General Assembly

I am glad that the North Carolina General Assembly has passed the Human Life Nondiscrimination Act that would ban in our state abortions on the basis of race, sex or a prenatal expectation of Down's Syndrome.

Governor Cooper will likely support discrimination by vetoing this bill. And the corrupt media will support him.

While it is good that this bill passed, it should be noted that the Republicans have been playing "small ball" on abortion for approximately 25 years. They have focused on legislative initiatives that would nibble at the edges by restricting abortions under certain conditions, or by placing additional requirements on the abortionist. I have favored and written in support of these types of measures over the years.

But it is well past time for the Republicans to deliver on the pro-life issue in a major way. How do they do that?

They can nullify Roe v. Wade at the state level. Nullification is a great option that has been used by the left when it suits them.

Or the Republicans can overturn Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court. 

Or they can do both.

A quarter century of micro-measures is insufficient. It is time to win this war against the anti-Christs in our midst.
