Michele Bachmann rips ‘absolutely sick’ media coverage on riots, reveals she was locked in Capitol for 5 hours

Former GOP Congresswoman Michele Bachmann slammed vindictive Democrats and ripped into the mainstream media for the “absolutely sick” way the U.S. Capitol riot has been covered.

The former Republican lawmaker from Minnesota told guest host Mark Steyn on “Fox News Primetime” on Monday that the media has been on a mission to destroy the “legacy” of former President Donald Trump and his supporters and that Democrats are engaging in “bad political dinner theater” with their second attempt to impeach him.

The risk of eternal lockdown – The implications for human rights could be worryingly far-reaching

Periods of society-wide threats are danger-times for rights. Anxious populations tend to accept restrictions on liberty which would be strongly resisted at other, more peaceful, moments. During the “War on Terror” which followed the 9/11 attacks, detention without trial, mass surveillance and torture were authorised by liberal democracies. We may be seeing that dynamic repeated today, as the legally enforced social-distancing restrictions put in place to slow the spread of Covid-19 raise some of the most difficult questions in modern times about life, liberty and the basic tenets of democracy.

We can’t let wokeness conquer the Church – Many in the clergy now prefer critical race theory to Christianity.

Captain Sir Tom Moore is a national hero. Not only for serving our nation in the Second World War, but also for his courageous efforts to raise over £30million for the NHS in the run-up to his 100th birthday, during the first lockdown. It should come as no surprise, then, that when a contrarian clerk in Holy Orders dismissed Moore’s efforts, it would cause a bit of a ruckus. In fact, the more cynical among us might even say that was the point. Insulting the memory of a national treasure before the release of your new book is certainly one way of raising your profile.

Southern Poverty Law Center Stops Monitoring Black Hate Groups Because of ‘Equity’

Giving racists a pass in the name of anti-racism.

The Southern Poverty Law Center claims it’s dedicated to fighting hate. But some things are more important than fighting hate.

Like “equity”.

In the name of equity, the SPLC announced that it’s shutting down its black nationalist hate groups category like the Nation of Islam. After “doing the internal work of anti-racism”, the SPLC will no longer list black racist hate groups because “the hate is not equal”.

David Hogg’s Pillow Company Is Proceeding Nicely

Last week I told you about former teen and current gun-grabber David Hogg starting his own pillow company to take down My Pillow founder Mike Lindell. You can almost see the cartoon thought-balloon over Hogg’s adorable little head: “Hey, if a crazy crackhead can become a multimillionaire by making pillows, how tough can it be?”

Military “Extremism” Purge May Result in Conservatives Being Driven out of the US Military

An order was issued by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that all members of the US Armed Forces must stand down to address “extremism”. It is unprecedented, unnecessary, and a dangerous practice that will create instability and worse among career members of the US armed forces.

But think of the cool uniforms the Transvestite Division will have!

Tasha Kheiriddin: Canadians deserve a COVID election, because this crisis isn’t going away soon

As the polar vortex tightens its grip, the temperature isn’t the only thing dropping across the country. So is faith in the federal government’s management of the COVID-19 vaccine roll out. According to the latest poll by Abacus Research, the number of Canadians who think the federal government has done a good to excellent job on ordering vaccines has declined by 15 per cent since early January. Meanwhile, Nanos Research found that one in two Canadians do not believe Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s promise that we’ll be vaccinated by September.

Woke Prince Charles vetted laws that stop his tenants buying their homes

The royal family has used a secretive procedure to vet three parliamentary acts that have prevented residents on Prince Charles’ estate from buying their own homes for decades, the Guardian can reveal.

His £1bn Duchy of Cornwall estate was later given special exemptions in the acts that denied residents the legal right to buy their own homes outright.

Under the opaque procedure, the Queen and Prince of Wales were allowed to vet the contents of the bills by government ministers and approve them before they were passed by parliament.

The exemptions have left residents living in homes that have diminishing or no financial value. The residents say they cannot borrow against their homes to pay, for example, for social care fees for themselves and loved ones.

There had better be another side to this story other than “It’s good to be King.”

Breastfeeding is now chestfeeding, Brighton’s trans-friendly midwives are told

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust is the first in the country to formally implement a gender inclusive language policy for its maternity services department, which will now be known as “perinatal services”.

Staff have been instructed that “breastmilk” should be replaced with the phrases “human milk”, “breast/chestmilk” or “milk from the feeding mother or parent”.

William Watson: Maoism’s disasters show why Canada should ignore even kindly economic planners

Martin Ravallion of Georgetown University, who used to be director of research at the World Bank, has an interesting new working paper out that tries to estimate how much Mao Zedong and Maoism cost China in terms of economic growth and poverty reduction.

How China would have done without Maoism depends on what would have replaced it. Ravallion suggests that could have been “political capitalism” à la Taiwan and South Korea, two societies not dissimilar to China’s, with their “Confucian philosophical roots,” strong work ethics, reverence for learning, central importance of family, and so on. In 1950, after decades of regional and world conflict, all three countries were very poor, China poorest. But then the other two took off and China didn’t.

Our Animal Farm – The Left’s 1960s dream is America’s 2021 nightmare.

George Orwell published Animal Farm in August 1945, in the closing weeks of the Pacific War. Even then, most naïve supporters of the wartime Soviet-British-American alliance were no longer in denial about the contours of Moscow’s impending postwar communist aggression.

John McWhorter: The Neoracists

A new religion is preached across America. It’s nonsense posing as wisdom.

One can divide antiracism into three waves. First Wave Antiracism battled slavery and segregation. Second Wave Antiracism, in the 1970s and 1980s, battled racist attitudes and taught America that being racist was a flaw. Third Wave Antiracism, becoming mainstream in the 2010s, teaches that racism is baked into the structure of society, so whites’ “complicity” in living within it constitutes racism itself, while for black people, grappling with the racism surrounding them is the totality of experience and must condition exquisite sensitivity toward them, including a suspension of standards of achievement and conduct.

Is Palestine a State?

The highly politicized International Criminal Court just declared statehood for Palestinians. They did it without any negotiation with Israel, without any compromise, and without any recognized boundaries. They also did it without any legal authority, because the Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court, makes no provision for this criminal court to recognize new states. Moreover, neither Israel nor the United States ratified that treaty, so the decisions of the International Criminal Court are not binding on them. Nor is this divided decision binding on signatories, since it exceeds the authority of the so-called court.
