Health officials say new infections will rise 600% by summer without drastic measures. Ontario and Quebec telling all non-essential workers to stay home for at least three weeks.

With the exception of Caucasian males, everybody can now be a victim. It's easy. Just summon up some unpleasantness in your life and assign blame. Use the word systemic a lot in formulating your grievances. Make sure you point out that you are

expressing your truth and certainly mention that you are speaking truth to power. It is true that real victims are amongst us. The child born into a chaotic home, perhaps abandoned or abused by bad parents, certainly that innocent person has been victimized. If you are treated unfairly because of skin color or gender. You should be angry. But you have two choices. Live your life in the victimization zone or say blank you and succeed despite the hardship. If you have been bullied as a child or teenager, that is victimization. Again, you have a choice. Fight back in a smart way or fold and incorporate the ordeal into your persona. I'm a victim of systemic. I'm a victim of systemic, whatever. Being a devoted victim can be comforting because it gives you an excuse to fail or not even

try. You need a safe space. You feel marginalized by the patriarchy. Well, everyone gets hammered at some point in life. And in today's cupcake society, the victim card is being dealt all the time. but it's the bottom of the deck draw. You will not accomplish much in life constantly whining about unfairness or bad breaks. In order to achieve and succeed, you need to be strong and believe in yourself, not whimper about injustice. Americans used to be a pretty tough bunch. My parents survived the Great Depression in World War II. They live very modestly with no personal power, but did not see themselves as victims. They knew who the real victims were, Americans who could not buy a house in Levittown because of their skin color. That's largely gone now

because some brave folks fought hard for worthy change. They didn't pout on the sidelines or disrespect an entire country. They mobilized in a strong, peaceful campaign that defeated some ingrained wrongs. It appears to me that in our society today, victimization is spreading faster than COVID. It's almost unbearable on many college campuses and cable TV. Every white person is racist. Every straight man, a woman, hater. No non-white male has a fair shot. Everything that goes wrong in a person's life can be blamed on someone else. White supremacy did it. Homophobia caused it. Misogynistic traditions ruined my dreams. Yeah, okay. Life can be brutally unfair. Again, two choices. Go get that safe space or use your skills to step up and improve things without foolishly demonizing

entire groups of people. Your call. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve that message by actually writing it. For more honest news analysis, please go to Bill O'Reilly.com.

Today marks the anniversary of the worst domestic terror attack in the history of the United States. On April 19, 1995, a rental truck filled with explosives detonated outside the federal building in Oklahoma City, injuring 1,000 people killing 168. The origin of the bomb plot started two years earlier in Waco, Texas. David Koresh, a self-beclaimed polygamous profit, was illegally stockpiling weapons for the

impending apocalypse. On February 28, 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol and Firearms raided Koresh's compound. The initial gunfight left nine people dead and more than 20 seriously injured. The event prompted a 51-day standoff between Koresh and the federal government. On April 19th, Attorney General Janet Reno, under President Bill Clinton, approved an FBI raid on the compound. Tanks stormed the complex, buildings caught fire, burning to the ground in less than 45 minutes. Koresh and 76 of his followers perished in the blaze. Right-wing extremists blamed government overreach for the disaster, including 25-year-old

Desert Storm vet Timothy McVeigh. Two years later, on the anniversary of the Waco siege, McVeigh detonated a truck loaded with 5,000 pounds of explosives at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The blast ripped through the north face of the facility, destroying all nine floors. It was the deadliest terror attack in the USA at the time. Today, it's second only to the 9-11 attack. Two years later, McVeigh was convicted on 11 counts of murder and using a weapon of mass destruction. The terrorist was put to death in 2001, the first person executed by the federal government since 1963. And here's something else you might not know.

The manhunt for Timothy McVeigh did not last very long because authorities already had him in custody. A few hours after the attack, he was arrested during a traffic stop for driving without a license plate. Back after this.
