The city of Denver is not interested in preserving white history.
On December 21, 2020, the Denver City Council unanimously voted in favor of legislation to rename Columbus Park as La Raza Park.
La Raza means “the race” and is usually a term that Hispanic activists use to define themselves as a separate group from the rest of normal America. This name change reflects the slogan the Chicano movement used during the 1960s and 1970s, when they routinely chanted “Viva la raza” (Long live the race).
Next year’s now-broadly predicted surge of illegal immigration to the U.S. Southwest Border — largely the result of the Biden campaign’s months of messaging that the incoming president will clear all obstacles and penalties for it — will include not only Spanish-speakers – but Muslims from terrorism-supporting countries.
Those who are around my age woke up at the end of December one year and discovered that the “holiday season” of Christmas and New Year’s became a trio, with the addition of something called Kwanzaa. Oh sure, there were rumblings of a new holiday. But political correctness and #MeToo are essential causes. Which raises the question, why is a day invented in 1966 by a rapist who ran a Black separatist group is considered by some as a holiday on par with Christmas, Chanukah, or New Year’s.
Administering most of Canada’s coronavirus vaccines now, as opposed to reserving half of them to be used later as second doses for the first recipients, could prevent a significant amount of new symptomatic COVID-19 infections, according to new data from researchers at the University of Toronto.
Almost every year we hear about people being offended by someone saying “Merry Christmas.”
Sam Eskenasi, an Orthodox Jew, says that’s silly and that the real offence comes from people who say “Happy Holidays.”
Watch Sam’s Christmas message and find out why he doesn’t have a holiday tree and isn’t getting Chanukah presents from Santa this year.
There is still no evidence that the new, more contagious variants of COVID-19 found in the United Kingdom and South Africa are in Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada has said.
In a statement on Thursday, the country’s health agency said it was conducting an analysis of Canada’s coronavirus cases and so far, the fresh strain had not been identified over 25,000 virus samples.
The University of Michigan has a “Words Matter Task Force.”
Seriously. Maybe that’s why out-of-state tuition costs more than $66,000 a year.
The WMTF, set up by the school’s Information and Technology Services (ITS) department, has declared that it finds more than two dozen words and phrases possibly offensive to people, including “picnic,” “brown bag” and “blacklist.”
With the Georgia Senate runoff races just two weeks away, the Department of Homeland Security is warning of the possibility of “ideologically motivated violence” in a new report.
DHS warned that there is also a foreign influence campaign (Russia! Russia! Russia!) as voters prepare to go to the polls. The authors were then quick to assure readers that foreign actors can’t influence the election. This is according to a new internal report obtained by Yahoo News.
According to a new report, President Donald Trump is telling his White House staff to ignore a previous memo that was released relating to packing for leaving the White House by January 20th.
“On Tuesday, White House officials sent an email to staff members about departure procedures before a new administration begins Jan. 20,” the New York Times reported.
In case leftists haven’t perpetrated enough hoaxes or issued enough preposterous statements for you lately, here is another. United Church of Christ Rev. Jes Kast recently posted on Twitter: “Christmas season is about God choosing a woman to lead a revolution of re-organizing the structures of societal power by her leadership, tenderness, and faith.”
They released criminals to protect them from the virus – and locked nursing home patients in with the virus.
In March, Governor Cuomo’s administration ordered nursing homes to accept infected coronavirus patients and prohibited even testing incoming patients for the virus. The same month that Cuomo began the process of infecting countless nursing home residents with the virus, he also began freeing thousands of criminals from prison to protect them from the virus
Last week, shortly before he gave us no choice, Boris Johnson urged us to have ourselves “a very little Christmas.” His words were, of course, a reference to Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, a song which I used to hate.
First sung by Judy Garland, it’s been covered countless times — mostly in syrup. I blame Frank Sinatra, whose schmaltzy 1957 version smothered the essential sadness of the melody and lyrics. Indeed, he had the words rewritten. Thus “next year all our troubles will be out of sight” became “from now on, our troubles will be out of sight”.
It’s a few days before Christmas in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and there is plenty of room at Seven Sirens Brewing Company.
The brewery’s 7,000-square-foot tasting room has a fire code capacity of 320, but during happy hour on Monday, there are only about a dozen patrons scattered around the place, sitting in ones and twos at socially distanced tables and sipping beers served by two masked bartenders. Whether they know it or not, everyone here is engaged in an act of civil disobedience, challenging Pennsylvania’s ban on indoor drinking and dining that will continue through New Year’s Day, at least. It’s a policy that assumes all establishments in the state are equally risky—that a tiny, crowded diner or coffee shop is no different than a massive, mostly empty beer hall.
By December 22, Mount Cameron, several miles north of Reid’s Regimental Aid Post, had become the linchpin of West Brigade’s defensive line as the Japanese forced their way from the east. The position was held by only 100 Winnipeg Grenadiers, reinforced by a platoon of British Royal Engineers — all that could be spared. After raining Mount Cameron’s defenders with artillery and mortar fire, the Japanese attacked during the evening with 1,000 troops. The Grenadiers and Royal Engineers fought back ferociously, but a Japanese breakthrough on their right flank threatened to encircle their position and forced their withdrawal northward to Wan Chai Gap. In his postwar debriefing in October 1945, Reid recalls the confusion of this night…
On Wednesday’s CBS This Morning, correspondent Mark Phillips devoted a full report to fretting that all the e-mailing and computer usage, as well as other ways people consume energy at home, is actually counterracting the environmental “silver lining” that liberals have tried to take comfort in during the pandemic as fewer people drive to work.
The causes of violent rioting and looting are complicated and often include real, unaddressed grievances. One thing is clear, though: looting has few winners and many losers. The losers in the long run are often those breaking the windows and making off with the bling.
Enjoy! Merry Christmas and thank you for making this such a great year!

Cambridge, Massachusetts, has become the first US city to mandate the placing of stickers on fuel pumps to warn drivers of the resulting dangers posed by the climate crisis.
The final design of the bright yellow stickers, shared with the Guardian, includes text that warns drivers the burning of gasoline, diesel and ethanol has “major consequences on human health and the environment including contributing to climate change”.
Say “gathering” instead of “picnic” and “lunch and learn” instead of “brown bag.”
The University of Michigan has a “Words Matter Task Force.”
Seriously. Maybe that’s why out-of-state tuition costs more than $66,000 a year.
