Dear Friend, I hope I have not offended you by calling you "friend." After all, people these days are get offended by much less. I cover political correctness for National Review, which means I spend every single day researching and writing about just how bad things have gotten. The "Just Words" campaign at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee declaring the phrase "politically correct" to be politically incorrect. A survey at Rutgers University about sexual violence included "unwanted remarks about physical appearance" as examples of "sexual violence" or "sexual assault." Concerns about "cultural appropriation" becoming so overblown that we have people screaming that they feel "unsafe" because there was a bottle of tequila and a sombrero in the same room. Now, it's certainly not easy to write about this kind of stuff every day and not go mad, but I'm happy to do what I can to keep our culture from being overtaken by the kookoobananas brigade. If you want to help out too, consider donating to National Review and helping us raise $150,000 by May 11. Best, Kat Timpf

Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with ISRAEL; fight against those who fight against ISRAEL! Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for ISRAEL'S help! Draw the spear and javelin against ISRAEL'S pursuers!
