Big Tech’s recent attempts to ramp up pre-election censorship are not restrictive enough for the leftist New York Times.
A Stern Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University report complained that social media platforms do not censor enough alleged election “misinformation” as the 2022 midterms approach
What ever happened to Linda Sarsour? In a lengthy and weepy Sunday feature, the New York Times lamented the downfall of its golden girl: “In 2015, when she was 35, a New York Times profile anointed her — a ‘Brooklyn Homegirl in a Hijab’ — as something rare, a potential Arab American candidate for elected office.” But now, their once-rising star has fallen resoundingly, dismissed from the Women’s March for her vicious and open antisemitism and no longer the media darling she once was. The Times, in trying to polish Sarsour’s tarnished reputation on Sunday, came up with a novel explanation for her downfall: it wasn’t because her Jew hatred was too extreme even for the Left. It was because Linda Sarsour was the target of “Russian trolls.” What’s next, New York Times? Space aliens stole her brain?
A requiem for Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter has yet to receive a requiem, a summation in print. More than seven years into the globally unavoidable anti-police movement, there certainly exists a sizable BLM academic literature, dealing – as my political science colleague Bob Maranto has pointed out – with questions ranging from how the movement impacted on youth-voter turnout to the social impact of Ben & Jerry’s selling politically themed flavours of ice-cream.
The Woman King is a new movie from Hollywood that helps to bring a little history to the same audience that ate up Disney’s Black Panther. However, as even some Blacks are realizing, the Dahomey tribe that is central to the movie had significant responsibility for perpetuating the African slave trade. At some point, though, American Blacks are going to have to grapple with why no one has seen fit to blame the Africans Blacks and Muslim slave traders.
Under what conditions should a person be free to indulge his sexual fetishes in public? This question was brought into stark relief last week at a school in Ontario, where the attire of a male teacher now identifying as a woman raised a new version of the old question “how many grains of sand make a heap?”: How many cup sizes make a pair of prosthetic breasts wildly inappropriate? Like the existence of the heap, at a certain relatively advanced size the inappropriateness seems blindingly obvious — but it’s hard to say exactly at what point this began.
There are some frauds so massively insane that Americans won’t do them. Someone has to.
I covered this story back in the winter, relying on the important work of local reporters like Bill Glahn at the American Experiment. The story is mindblowing for the sheer scale of the fraud.
A cache of nearly 160,000 files from Russia’s powerful internet regulator provides a rare glimpse inside Vladimir V. Putin’s digital crackdown.
Four days into the war in Ukraine, Russia’s expansive surveillance and censorship apparatus was already hard at work.
Roughly 800 miles east of Moscow, authorities in the Republic of Bashkortostan, one of Russia’s 85 regions, were busy tabulating the mood of comments in social media messages. They marked down YouTube posts that they said criticized the Russian government.
Hours after the arrest earlier this month of a fugitive wanted in connection with the stabbing deaths of 11 people, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police hastily called a press conference to announce that Myles Sanderson was “no longer a threat” to the public.
But as RCMP assistant commissioner Rhonda Blackmore described the four-day manhunt, she omitted a critical detail: Sanderson, who had been taken into custody alive, was already dead.

Martha’s Vineyard has been all over the news.
The tony resort community so loves aiding and comforting the undocumented immigrants who were flown in from Florida that it hugged them — for all of 48 hours.
Oddly, the Left became unhinged when red-state governors — whose states the last two years were flooded with some 3 million people who entered the country illegally — finally decided to spread welcoming chores among affluent blue-state communities.
New photos and videos show Hunter Biden’s wild and debauched parties at a luxury Malibu AirBnB.
In the videos Hunter is seen riding across the lawn on a bicycle, stripping naked and sliding down a waterslide into the $4,140-per-night property’s pool.
Other pictures show him having group sex and entertaining hookers in his luxury rental’s hot tub in 2018.
Just an FYI to our readers. BCF was officially “unpublished” by FaceBook for the crime of posting the Hunter Biden Feather Boa pic. They said it violated community standards labeling it “adult pornography.” Funny. I thought it was news but Zuck knows better I guess.
No biggie we were throttled on FB almost from Day 1 and it never really contributed much by way of traffic.

“It will come out the truth and you don’t want to be on that side of the fence when you have killed or actually murdered innocent people,” Ladislas Kenderesi said at an anti-lockdown protest in 2020.
A Canadian Armed Forces reservist was fined $4,200 and will receive a “severe reprimand” after pleading guilty on Thursday to a misconduct charge for urging military personnel not to distribute COVID-19 vaccines, which he linked to murder.
The charge of “conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline” against Officer Cadet Ladislas Kenderesi, 60, relates to comments he made to the crowd at an anti-lockdown protest in downtown Toronto in December 2020 while in full uniform. The comments were captured on videos posted to the internet.

The latest Letitia James lawsuit is so much ado about nothing
New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, three of his adult children, and other senior members of the Trump Organization on Wednesday. Her suit alleges business and insurance fraud as well as conspiracy for the same, and marks the end of a three-year investigation into Trump and his business.
A teacher behind a series of historical murals at a Toronto high school is furious they’ve been taken down as the school board says they’re being evaluated for whether or not they honour truth and reconciliation.
Woke hysteria is a hateful thing.
