Now loving your family is racist!

Journalist is ridiculed for saying whites who get on with their relatives clearly aren’t ‘challenging their racist views’

Jessica Mason Pieklo Racist Old Crackpot

A woke journalist is being ridiculed online for saying whites who get on with their relatives must not be challenging what she says are their loved ones’ racist views.

Jessica Mason Pieklo, Senior Vice President and Executive Editor at Rewire News, received criticism for her tweet thread last week that accused ‘even good white families’ of being a ‘little racist when you scratch the surface.’

Her initial tweet called out white people, saying that if they are committed to racial justice, yet in good standing with most of their family members, she has questions about their commitment to racial justice.

Building blocks of life found floating in Milky Way in discovery that suggests we are not alone

The find increases the chances that life could have evolved on other planets across the galaxy

The building blocks of life have been found floating near the centre of the Milky Way in a discovery that raises the chance that life could have evolved on other planets in the galaxy.

Organic molecules, known as nitriles, are abundant in interstellar clouds, scientists have discovered, supporting the theory that similar life-sparking particles hitchhiked a ride to Earth.

The theory is known as the “RNA World” theory, which proposes that the ingredients for life arrived on meteorites and comets during a period of heavy bombardment roughly four billion years ago.

Germany braces for ‘nightmare’ of Russia turning off gas for good

Germany is bracing itself for a potentially permanent halt to the flow of Russian gas from Monday when maintenance work begins on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline that brings the fuel to Europe’s largest economy via the Baltic Sea.

The work on the 759-mile (1,220km) pipeline is an annual event and requires the gas taps to be closed for 10 to 14 days. But never before in the pipeline’s decade-long history has Germany seriously been asking whether the flow will begin again.

Robert Habeck, Germany’s economy minister, has not shied away from addressing the government’s concerns. On Saturday, he spoke of the “nightmare scenario” that could occur.

The Lighthouse of Stalingrad: what Putin gets wrong about the Second World War battle

This engaging history picks apart the heroic myth of Stalingrad’s defence — which the Kremlin still obsessively cultivates today

In the centre of the city of Volgograd, at 39 Sovetskaya Street, stands a yellow-painted four-storey apartment building. At first glance it seems a typical Russian residential block, built before the Second World War. Yet when you turn the corner towards the River Volga you see the tall red-brick memorial clinging to the building’s eastern side. Carved into the brickwork is a message in Russian: “In this building fused together heroic feats of warfare and of labour. We will defend/rebuild you, dear Stalingrad!”

Seattle Judge: ‘You’ll be Bubba’s best new girlfriend!’

A Washington state judge was blasted for telling a serial criminal he’d be sent to prison and raped by an inmate named ‘Bubba’ if he didn’t change his ways.

Judge Virginia Amato was officially reprimanded after telling the unnamed domestic abuse suspect last August that he was on course ‘to be Bubba’s new best girlfriend in the state penitentiary.’

‘That may hopefully give you a graphic image to think about… And if you think I’m kidding, I’m not,’ the judge said, according to a complaint.

Church of England: There is ‘no official definition’ of a woman

Comments provoke criticism, with England’s first woman priest saying she is ‘not totally happy’ with Bishop in Europe’s answer

The Church of England has said that there is “no official definition” of a woman.

Senior bishops have insisted that until recently, the answer to questions such as what constitutes a woman “were thought to be self-evident”. However, now “additional care” is needed.

The stance comes as the institution struggles to remain relevant and progressive amid declining congregant numbers and in an increasingly secular society.

Twitter Debates Anne Frank’s White Privilege

Twitter is yet again proving it’s the worst for bulk bad takes — this time, debating whether Anne Frank, who was hunted and killed by Nazis, had white privilege while alive.

Robert Crimo III is part of a troubling trend among mass shooters

Before law enforcement released his name to the press, Robert Crimo, III — or his digital persona — was a largely ignored figure on the internet. The 22-year-old was a SoundCloud rapper who went by the name “Awake”, whose music went virtually unnoticed. But since the Highland Park shooting, it has been played for tens of thousands of people all over the nation. His apocalyptic clichés, odd filming locations, and the meaningless symbols he’d chosen to tattoo onto his face were all analysed by amateurs and professionals alike. It was just the sort of attention he’d always craved.

Dig for Georgia Guidestones time capsule adds to mystery

The promise of a trove buried underneath the now-destroyed Georgia Guidestones appears to be a bust.

The mysterious structure unveiled in 1980 was demolished Wednesday after an explosion that caused extensive damage, but there was lingering intrigue about the possibility of a time capsule.

A slab on-site had two unfinished lines that said, “Placed six feet below this spot on …” that was “to be opened on,” leading to a search by county officials.

High gas prices hurting? That’s exactly what Trudeau wants

The Trudeau Liberals must be patting themselves on the back every time they pass a gas station, after all, these unaffordable pump prices are precisely what they want.

Inflation hasn’t been this high since the Pierre Elliott Trudeau government back in the early ’80s. Canadians are struggling to afford groceries and other basics. But that hasn’t stopped the current Trudeau government from divulging its plan for a second carbon tax.

NY Times again suggests Joe Biden, 79, is too old to run for re-election and says he now ‘shuffles’ with White House staffers fearing he’ll trip on a wire

The New York Times has once again suggested Joe Biden may be too old to run for re-election in a piece that revealed the president now ‘shuffles,’ and that staffers are fearful he may trip over wires.

Biden, 79, has experienced a decline in energy levels, with some aides alleging he ‘often shuffles’ while walking, prompting fears ‘he will trip on a wire.’ He also often stumbles over his words during public speaking events.

Staffers told the left-leaning New York Times they find themselves holding their breath during Biden’s speaking engagements to see if he makes it to the end without a blunder.

You have to wonder about the timing of this piece. Is it related to the Hunter Biden 4CHAN leak?

Someday, Maybe, A Canadian Reckoning

According to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his chief accountant Chrystia Freeland, runaway inflation and the recession it announces are something of a godsend. Price increases, she said in a recent address, are “a reminder of why climate action is so important, and why we have to work…faster towards a green economy.” The benefits, according to this authority, are clear: More green energy, lower prices. The claim is so fatuous as to induce intellectual migraine.

Americans in the crosshairs of Communist China’s spy game

As a long-time dissident and California-based opponent of the Chinese government, Arthur Liu – the father of US Olympic figure skater Alyssa Liu – was not particularly surprised when a phone call came from the FBI.

“They told me that the Chinese government had sent spies over to the Bay Area to gather me and my daughter’s passport information,” he told the BBC. “I wouldn’t say I was shocked. But I thought to myself, ‘wow’ – they’re taking this very seriously.”

At first, Mr Liu didn’t make the connection: A “fishy” phone call from a man claiming to be from the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, claiming to be conducting a “preparedness check” ahead of his daughter’s trip to the Beijing Winter Olympics in February 2022.
