This is no longer politics; it’s mental illness/personality disorder…. Hammer, meet nail.

"...projection...accusing others of what you, yourself, are guilty of." I have noticed this more and more lately. Every leftist accusation against the non-left that I read is a near-perfect description of what the left, itself, is doing. It's a fascinating phenomenon.

Wow. I have never been on Twitter so I miss out on a lot of this kind of craziness, but it's still nice to know when there's an explosion of some kind of Twitter. Thank you, Jenny, for alerting me to this important story. I am feeling dumbfounded and distressed. I've decided that I'm going to stop saying to myself, "Surely the world can't get any darker," because every time I think that thought it does, in fact, reach a new level of darkness. : (

Excellent article, Jenny. I have shared with our former political writer at the Pro-Jo, M. Charles Bakst, a/k/a “Charlie.” He says he sees the truth in your writing and I hope he subscribes!

I can't help wondering if leftist projection on others of what they themselves are doing is a result of their never having repented of sin. Jesus Christ is willing to forgive those who sincerely repent. Indeed, he came to earth and died a horrible death so that sins could be forgiven. But there has to be an acknowledgement of sin and a willingness to change the direction of one's life. Nobody does this perfectly but changing the goal of one's life away from sin and toward God, as revealed in Jesus Christ, the Messiah of Israel prophesied in Isaiah 53 and the Savior of all who come to him in faith, is not only good for one's personal eternity into heaven rather than hell but also for avoiding making an ass of oneself by projecting one's deficiencies on others.

Yes. Repentance involves acknowledgment, looking at yourself in the mirror and admitting what you've done. Demons (I think the worst symptoms of these disorders are similar to what some people call demonic possession) cannot look at themselves in the mirror.

Yes, both mental illness and demons are real but there are sometimes some external similarities. As Ephesians 6:12-13 says, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in high places. Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything to stand."

Propaganda is a powerful weapon, and the US and Israel are masters of it. Ukraine tries to be. Unless you have direct knowledge of an event, take reports with a big tablespoon of salt.

Or have well-developed bullshit radar. I don't have the time, money, or inclination to travel to Gaza or Ukraine. If I want to know what's going on, I have to listen to somebody. I've learned to avoid sources like CNN, NPR, MSNBC, NYT, the government, or academia. There are people on the internet doing a far better job of reporting and analysis, JH being one of them.

Once again, a spot on article. I had to share with Charlie and he concurs!
