It's been quite a week, huh? According to a Wall Street Journal-NORC poll published Friday. The share of respondents who said patriotism was very important dropped 32 percentage points compared to a 1998 poll, and those who said the same of religion decreased by 23 percentage points. The importance of having children dropped from 59% in 1998 to 30%, according to the poll. Meanwhile, respondents who considered money a top priority increased to 43%, up from 31% a quarter-century ago.
But wait, there's more. Crime soaring out of control just as "handcuffed" police decide to retire in large numbers...Prosecutors cutting crazy deals which let murderers, rapists, and arsonists back on the streets with little or no bond...Profane, violent radicals shouting down conservative speakers at a New York university...Colleges offering special graduation ceremonies for certain ethnicities and sexual preferences...The Country Music Awards featuring a promotion for drag queens...The far, far left winning elections in Chicago and in the Wisconsin Supreme Court...France is on the verge of genuine meltdown.
Hey, we're just getting started. A former President of the United States was indicted in the silliest "kangaroo court" imaginable...Because of their faith, American Christians are denied jobs, adoption opportunities, educational choices, and even the chance to speak in public...another 186 conservative-leaning churches are trying to get out of the United Methodists' clutches because of the wild and wicked liberalism of the denomination...Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly have introduced and passed bills that would eliminate pro-life pregnancy centers...Virtue-signaling publishers are editing (make that, censoring) well-established novels and adding "trigger warnings" to books.
And just a few final items. Russia takes over the presidency of the U.N. Security Council...the bizarre, doll-like transexual activist Bud Light has been embraced in marketing campaigns by Hershey's and Anheuser-Busch while none other than Jack Daniels has a similar deal with Ru Paul, the infamous sexual deviant, who recently boasted that "drag queens are the Marines of the queer movement"...The Biden administration has added air conditioners and certain kinds of light bulbs to the list of things it wants to deny you (including gasoline, your earnings, and freedom)...Yet more evidence of massive vote fraud is being uncovered...And the U.S. Supreme Court (with the only dissents coming from Thomas and Alito) is just fine with biological boys competing in girl's sports. (Yes, Virginia; the feminist movement is officially dead.) Okay, now this week's Top 5 list:
