It is hard to tell which was the biggest lie Joe Biden told in his sit-down with Kal Penn, former stoner-movie actor turned Democratic Party lackey, earlier this week on the Daily Show.
Was it Biden’s claim that preventing minors from having genital-removing surgeries and harmful cross-sex hormones is ‘sinful’? Was it that he characterised as ‘cruel’ attempts to prevent these irreversible, dangerous and downright grotesque surgeries being conducted on children?
It is 85 years since the great bluesman Lead Belly coined the phrase “stay woke” in “Scottsboro Boys”, a song dedicated to nine black teenagers whose execution for rapes they never committed was only prevented by years of international protests and the American Communist Party. Staying alive to injustice — what could be wrong with that? Apparently, quite a lot. In a few short decades, woke was transformed from a term of praise to a term of abuse. Still, the fact that politicians ranging from Ron DeSantis to Rishi Sunak deploy “woke” as a battle cry should not prevent us from examining its assumptions. For not only liberals, but many Leftists and socialists like me are increasingly uneasy with the form it has taken.
IF YOU want to change a society, the most efficient way is not with guns and tanks but with a dictionary.
Progressives know the power of language and they prioritise it in their efforts to restructure society. Change the language and you change the way people think, change the way people think and you change the way people act, change the way people act and you have changed society; all without firing a shot. It takes longer than a violent revolution but it is much more effective and longer lasting.
Furniture shops in Moscow have started selling Wagner Group-branded sledgehammers as home decorations.
The metal sledgehammers are etched with the mercenary fighters’ logo, as well as a pile of skulls – and come in a presentation box that resembles a coffin.
The Russian Telegram channel Caution, Moscow quoted home decorations managers as saying that there was “high demand” for the sledgehammers, which are described as “perfect accessories in loft conversions”.
Though the tragedy in East Palestine has been overshadowed in the news by banks crashing and the Biden family getting caught with millions of Chinese communist dollars Trump’s impending arrest, the small town in eastern Ohio is still reeling from the derailment or — more accurately — the spilling of toxic waste, much of which is still sitting in the town’s backyard, and the burning of toxic chemicals, which, as one local put it, “was burnt because they didn’t want to clean their own damn mess.”
Trust the science: Bad mothers are behind the explosion of militant LGBT identification.
It ought to go without saying that no toddler has ever gone to a drag show of his own volition—at least if for no other reason than that toddlers do very little on their own.
The blame, just like the agency, lies elsewhere. The creeps who dress up in fetishized pastiche of femininity to gyrate and flounce before helpless little kids deserve a good bit of the blowback, to be sure. But the real culpability lies with the parents who drag their unsuspecting children into the lion’s den of rainbow activism.
The contentious Great Replacement theory went under debate last week at the Katholieke Universiteit (KU) of Leuven, Belgium’s largest university. But protesters tried to shut it down.
The main target of the protesters was the controversial Filip Dewinter, an MP in the Flemish Parliament for the nationalist Vlaams Belang, who has been active in promoting the Great Replacement theory in Flanders—through his book Omvolking, or ‘Repopulation’ in English. He was invited by the Liberal Flemish Students’ Association (LVSV) to debate another MP, Maurice Vande Reyde of the liberal Open Vld party, on Monday evening, March 13th.
BRUSSELS — Add NATO’s military planners to the list of those concerned about having enough shells.
In the coming months, the alliance will accelerate efforts to stockpile equipment along the alliance’s eastern edge and designate tens of thousands of forces that can rush to allies’ aid on short notice — a move meant to stop Russia from expanding its war beyond Ukraine.
To make that happen, though, NATO must convince individual countries to contribute various elements: Soldiers, training, better infrastructure — and, most notably, extensive amounts of pricey weapons, equipment and ammunition.
Canada-based Ethical Capital Partners (yes, really) acquires Hunter Biden’s favorite website
A private equity firm that touts its “ethics-first” investing strategy made a splash this week by bagging the world’s most popular porn website. Even more surprising is the fact that both entities have links to the largely irrelevant country of Canada.
It looks like we finally have one political leader serving in higher office who actually wants to know more rather than less about the allegations of the Beijing Communist regime’s interference in our elections.
British Columbia NDP Premier David Eby says he’s “very troubled” by these allegations. He wants a “thorough and independent investigation” and he’s requested CSIS provide him with a “full briefing.”
Vincent Harris arrived in Haiti earlier this year to heal bodies.
Two weeks ago, the medical adviser for Doctors Without Borders found himself instead in the midst of the country’s war.
“There was a really violent clash between two armed groups,” Harris said this week from Port-au-Prince. “Unfortunately, the front line where those groups met was directly in front of the doors of the hospital.”
How bout we just stay out of it?
As homelessness overwhelms downtown Phoenix, a small business wonders how long it can hang on.
He had been coming into work at the same sandwich shop at the same exact time every weekday morning for the last four decades, but now Joe Faillace, 69, pulled up to Old Station Subs with no idea what to expect. He parked on a street lined with three dozen tents, grabbed his Mace and unlocked the door to his restaurant. The peace sign was still hanging above the entryway. Fake flowers remained undisturbed on every table. He picked up the phone and dialed his wife and business partner, Debbie Faillace, 60.
“All clear,” he said. “Everything looks good.”
It’s largely a drug and mental health issue, being homeless is a symptom.
Disgraced ex-cryptocurrency kingpin Sam Bankman Fried and his since-bankrupt company FTX scored a meeting with a top regulator and sought to sway them to adopt industry-friendly rules months before the exchange’s historic collapse, emails show.
In May 2022, FTX pitched the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on why it was apparently poised to be a “superior” cryptocurrency exchange and was swiftly granted a meeting with its chairman, Martin Gruenberg, according to emails obtained by the watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust and shared with the Washington Examiner.
CEO to Prison Bitch is going to be a harsh adjustment unless his Democrat bribes get him a spot in Club Fed.
‘I know that what I have revealed, while increasing public knowledge, will raise other questions that I have not been able to answer,’ Sir John Saunders said, in issuing his final report into the Manchester Arena bombing.
‘I did ask the questions, I did get answers, but for the reasons I have given I have not been able to report publicly what those answers were,’ he added.
The report gave us a glimpse into the decision-making of MI5, but only a glimpse. Despite the thoroughness with which the chairman approached his task, it does leave unanswered questions.
Generally speaking, conservative critics want the news media to be fact-based and refrain from skewing their coverage to favor the left. Liberal media critics want the media to throw out such old-fashioned ideas, and focus only on the “correct” side of a debate, so audiences aren’t confused by facts or opinions that might lead them to a “wrong” conclusion.
