How about official Democratic Party definitions for:

Integrity

Working class

Labor Unions

Peace

War

Presidential pardon

National security

I ask, OB, because I know what those words mean in the real world, but when Democrats use them they make no sense. Surely, I must be missing something. It must be my fault because as Kamala's campaign proved, Democrats never make a mistake. Right?

Great read as always...I'm rereading (i.e. 'processing') Glenn Diesen's great work Russophobia and a great deal of his introductory chapters are the discussion of 'propaganda' of which language is a critical component and your dictionary nailed it. Iow it's the tool with which the narrative is controlled. Narrative control has been bantered about much recently and how the DC establishment controls it while sacrificing reality....Narrative = language = propaganda

At the risk of being off topic (you know me) and catching up from not posting here in a while. Feedback from the Nutcracker (1 Dec)...It was like the ballet academy associated with the local northern Virginia school children was the back-drop for the company of professional dancers who had all the critical parts and talent. Sister/free-lance ballet critic has told me this is often done....What was interesting is how most of the stars were Ukrainian?!? Sister also told me she's seeing another ballet in spring also a Ukrainian company....we're going to compare the casts and see if they're the same.....I can't help but drawing the obvious conclusion that these talented artists are here for more than just expanding their performance venues and sight-seeing in the states...
