Zoom In: Meet the New Left, Which Embraces the Swastika as a Symbol of Wokeness.

Not terribly different from the old left, then.

The left is always looking for new transgressions. Their old ones have gotten stale -- so it's time to embrace the swastika.

Goodbye, intersectionality -- hello, "It's All One Thingism."

In this nebulous new cosmology, Palestinians -- even Hamas themselves -- aren't just engaged in a specific geopolitical fight over territory and resources. No, they're the tip of the spear of a perceived collective liberation against the West, the Global North, "colonisers," whatever you want to call the Bad Guys. It's a magical world in which all politics and world affairs once seen through intersectionality's colourful prism have been flattened into (somewhat ironically for self-proclaimed atheists) a more Biblical view of the world: black-and-white, good and evil.

"Palestine is every single issue in one issue," wrote Scarlett Rabe, a singer-songwriter who describes herself as an anti-racist mother and an abolition feminist/womanist, in a viral tweet in February. "It's reproductive justice. It's social justice. It's climate crisis... It's not just one issue; it's all the issues in one."

All One Thingism explains why a group of a few hundred masked protestors who chanted "Death to America" and "Hands off Iran" this week also employed the relatively meaningless slogan "From Chicago to Palestine." Or that another viral post on Instagram by a person wearing a "Fatties for a Free Palestine" T-shirt insisted that "Palestinian solidarity is not a niche issue. Fat liberation and Palestinian liberation go hand in hand."

During the Trans Day of Visibility, a Palestine flag flew above the Trans flag during some marches, with one sign explaining that "Liberations are linked." Some are even talking up BRICS as allies (maybe Putin and Xi aren't so bad after all?) and -- yes -- even looking back fondly at the Khmer Rouge.

See the article for the embrace of the swastika. Lefties are now defending defacing Jewish property with a swastika, arguing they've reclaimed it, like the word "queer," and are now using it as "a condemnation of genocide."

But Trump said "P*ssy."

Why It Matters: We have more details on the Secret Service agent who TLC's Snapped! and attacked a Senior Agent in Charge.

DEI concerns, indeed.

Now, the identity of the officer has been revealed, along with more details surrounding the strange situation. Michelle Herczeg was removed from her duties with the Secret Service on Wednesday. She was a former police officer with the Dallas Police Department and an Air Force veteran.

On Monday morning, Herczeg arrived at the base and began deleting apps from a male agent's personal cell phone before becoming increasingly agitated. She then engaged in erratic behavior, such as mumbling to herself, hiding behind curtains, and throwing menstrual pads and other items at an agent, telling him that he would need them later to save another agent. Herczeg continued making alarming statements, such as the other agents were "going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God."

Herczeg was heard screaming at the special agent in charge (SAIC), listing the names of female officers on the vice president's detail and asserting that they would support her and enable her to continue working. When the SAIC attempted to relieve her of duty, as a witness told Real Clear Politics, "that's when she snapped entirely."

Herczeg allegedly became physically aggressive, chest-bumping, shoving, tackling, and punching the SAIC. This prompted intervention from other agents present, with a heightened alarm as Herczeg was armed, although her gun remained holstered. Agents wrestled her to the ground, disarmed her, cuffed her, and then escorted her out of the terminal.

In prior coverage, RedState noted that the agent had previously been a subject of distress by staff and that the hiring process, including allegedly "DEI" practices, raised concerns among officers in the Secret Service, per reporting from Real Clear Politics.

She was a madwoman from Jump Street, and never should have been hired for any job in which firearms handling is a requirement:

In her 2016 lawsuit, Herczeg charged she was retaliated against for reporting sexual harassment and other wrongdoing by Dallas cops.

After Herczeg was allegedly assaulted by a male superior officer in May 2015, she claimed, "[i]ntimidation tactics were used as investigative tools to persuade Herczeg from seeking criminal relief against the officer who assaulted her," according to the Morning News.

The lawsuit also alleged that Herczeg was not allowed to return to a special crime reduction team after reporting the alleged assault and was also refused overtime patrol shifts, causing "stress and mental anguish from loss in payment compensation."

Herczeg further charged that DPD "tolerates unprofessional behavior such as fraternization and unprofessional male and female working relationships based on an atmosphere which finds the male officer in charge, regardless of rank or ability."

A Texas court dismissed Herczeg's suit and a court of appeals denied both her appeal in 2021 and a request for a rehearing the following year.

It sure seems like she's just a nutter and Drama Tornado anywhere she goes. And it sure looks like DEI practices were used to move her through the application process for a job involving guns and the protection of very high-ranking VIPs.

DEI requires you to hire the Mentally Diverse.

Who's Zooming Who: A good old-fashioned Drag Queen Story Hour has been perverted from its wholesome mission of indoctrinating kids into becoming gay and trans into a Palestinian propaganda struggle session!

Is nothing sacred?!

In a bizarre moment, a drag queen performing at a Massachusetts art center directed children in a pro-Palestinian chant.

Video footage shows the exchange during a "Queer Storytime for Palestine" event organized by the Valley Families for Palestine group at the Northampton Center for the Arts on April 14.

While reading her book "If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It," Lil Miss Hot Mess told the children: "If you're a drag queen and you know it shout 'Free Palestine.'"

The event included "dancing, celebrating Palestine culture, learning about queer heroes and doing arts and crafts," according to an Instagram post by the Valley Families for Palestine group. Event profits were donated to alQaws, a Palestinian organization "working for queer liberation."

Every parent there needs an exhaustive Child Protective Services investigation.

A Little Lead for Your Pencils:

Not All Heroes Wear Capes: Wherever there is injustice, wherever tyrants menace -- there is only one group of heroes you can call upon to fight for you.

"Call the Philosophy Department!" -- a new rallying cry for our age.

Frankfurt School. Obviously.

She's a credit to her race. The philosophy race.
