Jack Phillips is back in court, and every American has a stake in the outcome.
The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado, is best known already for winning a 2018 decision in the U.S. Supreme Court over his treatment by the state’s laughably named Civil Rights Commission and its blatant discrimination against his Christian beliefs.
Now, he’s in a courtroom again, with those same beliefs under a new attack.
“Starting today, guests who show a valid COVID-19 vaccination card at any Krispy Kreme shop in the US can receive a free doughnut—anytime, any day, even every day—through the remainder of 2021,” the company wrote in a press release on Monday 22 March. Although many reacted positively to the announcement, some Twitter users have already blasted Krispy Kreme for “selling poison to people.” How will the offer work exactly and why is the company already receiving backlash?
Federal Judge Laurence Silberman dared to break the liberal Omerta of the D.C. Circuit for the Court of Appeals to slap down the far-left network media. He actually called the well oiled propaganda mills “a threat to a viable democracy.” The cancel of conservative thought must end or we’re doomed. “The first step taken by any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications, particularly the delivery of news,” Silberman warns. 1984 is here at last and the surveillance microphone can have a pizza delivered.
Slate — the online magazine known for its provocative content—has indefinitely suspended one of its star podcasters, Mike Peska, for debating with a colleague, on an inter-office messaging platform, whether it is ever appropriate for a non-Black person to use the N-word in the context of a discussion about race. It is not clear whether in the course of the discussion Peska actually uttered the word itself or just used the term “n-word.”
In defending Slate’s decision, a Black staffer argued that “For Black employees, it’s an extremely small ask to not hear that particular slur and not have debate about whether it’s OK for white employees to use that particular slur.” Not have debate?
HBO Real Time host Bill Maher on Friday slammed what he said was out-of-control cancel culture, claiming that the phenomenon has reached a fever pitch akin to both the Red Scare of 1950s America and the ruthless police state of Stalinist Russia.
In another attempt to completely confuse language and make it impossible to speak the truth when it comes to issues of sexuality and gender, transgender activists online are trying to tell you and the media that the phrase “biological males” is, get this, an anti-trans slur.
Canadian officials are the latest to take a stance against cancel culture, which they say originates from the United States. Premier Francois Legault of Quebec has joined France and the United Kingdom to issue statements against progressive activists who currently dominate academia.
Cancel culture has claimed another victim. This time, it’s Alexi McCammond, the liberal editor of Teen Vogue, a woman who made racist tweets a decade ago when she was 17. That dumb action, which she has apologized for, got her fired from a job she’d had only days. The co-hosts at CBS This Morning were horrified.
Like an immature child who has discovered a very destructive toy, the woke Left has found that it can ruin people’s careers and reputations by depicting them as “racists” for merely disagreeing over issues such as “white privilege” and “systemic racism” or irresponsible actions under color of Black Lives Matter. This is simply age-old trash from a brand-new dumpster.
A student has been banned from her students’ union because she said ‘Rule, Britannia’ during a debate, reports the Telegraph.
Fox News host and political analyst Juan Williams said an invitation to participate in a PBS show focusing on social justice was withdrawn after the host of the show found out Williams was from Panama.
Last summer, Chicago, like many cities, was engulfed by riots and looting. For several nights, crowds, including professional anarchists, surrounded the statue of Christopher Columbus in Grant Park, the city’s central meeting place. They repeatedly tried to topple Columbus from his pedestal. The police deployed to protect the statue; violent clashes resulted. In the dead of night, without notice or consultation, Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot, ordered the statue, along with another Columbus statue located in Chicago’s Little Italy, removed.
“Laughter has a dangerous, subversive quality, and woke writers are too insecure to toy with it”.
Rush always said mockery was our greatest weapon.
This week, in an update its style guide, the Journal states that while it will allow reporters to continue using the term “illegal immigration” to describe the process of illegal aliens arriving and staying in the U.S., it will no longer permit reporters to describe individuals as “illegal” or “illegal immigrant” in an effort to stop “labeling people.”
