We never had Budweiser beer in my house when I was growing up. My German father called it Räuber Peepee, and that was not a compliment. At least in those days, though, Bud knew who its market was: Ordinary Americans who wanted a reliable light lager. Now, though, Bud has gone to the woke dark side. With its Dylan Mulvaney ad campaign, its newest market seems to be Joe Biden: A man whose fantasy, as played out in public, is accessible little girls.

What the woke West has learned from Iran
Woke ayatollahs and Iranian ayatollahs are united in their disdain for freedom and women.
So now we know the difference between the woke West and theocratic Iran. Between our own cultural elites that are in the grip of the religion of ‘social justice’ and Iran’s religious elites that believe they’re doing Allah’s bidding. It’s a difference in liquids. Over here, women who step out of line are doused in tomato soup; over there, they’re doused in yoghurt. Here, their hair is turned orange as they are ritualistically humiliated with soup by fuming sexist mobs. There, their hair is turned white as they are punished with yoghurt by angry men for the crime of being unveiled in public.
در ثانیه‌های پیش از ورود مرد مزاحم به داخل مغازه، همه چیز عادی است. کاسبی سرگرم کارش، زنانی با روسری، بی‌روسری و چادری و مردانی که به پوشش آزاد زنان حاضر بی‌تفاوتند. همه چیز گویای یک زندگی معمولی است که …

“The great war of the 21st century is the anthropological war”: An Interview with Miklos Lukacs
The greatest risk is that all human reproduction will be put in the hands of technology—that would be the end of the human being.
In your book you talk about progressivism as a religion. How does this religion sell transhumanism?
It is sold as a material improvement, as an idea of progress in which the human being is improved, replaces God, and becomes God thanks to technology. The problem with this approach is that it is a false and empty promise. The sine qua non condition of this process is that the human being ceases to be human. You will progress, but the cost of that progress is that you cease to be what you are. So, homo sapiens can transition into a homo deus or any kind of form, what I call a neo-entity. Basically, technology is going to allow you to be whatever you want to be and that is one of the promises of progress.
This technological progress is accompanied by a postmodern moral progress, in which all the value categories that Judeo-Christianity established in the previous 2000 years become irrelevant. This progressive morality is completely anti-Christian. We are going to be better intellectually, cognitively, physically, and morally, but this morality is an amorality because it has no landmarks and no flag. It is a relativistic morality.
It’s Been a Bad Year for Girl Power PM’s From New Zealand to Finland
Remember this phony viral moment?
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern fired back at a reporter’s suggestion she met with Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin “just because” of their similarities, such as age and gender.
Now Jacinda and Sanna really have something in common: they’re both out of office. Jacinda resigned in January and Sanna just lost an election.
Rex Murphy: Trudeau carbon tax nothing more than a senseless money grab
It’s not a carbon tax. It never was.
I’ve insisted on this forever, with however little effect. It is a tax on carbon dioxide, a life-giving, life-enhancing element of the air we breathe. Carbon dioxide is the source and vital energy of all our Earth’s plant life — “the force that through the green fuse drives the flower” — in Dylan Thomas’ wonderful description of it.
Manhunt for people-smuggling suspect after eight drown at US-Canada border
Police investigating the drowning of eight people attempting to cross a river between Canada the the United States are searching for a man believed to be linked to people-smuggling, as new details of the victims emerge.
The bodies of eight people, including two young children, were discovered last week along the marshy banks of the St Lawrence River near the Mohawk community of Akwesasne, which spans Quebec, Ontario and New York state.
The Akwesasne Mohawk police service said on Sunday it was continuing a search for resident Casey Oakes, last spotted boarding a boat similar to the one located near eight drowned migrants.
What role did money play in Barry and Honey Sherman’s deaths?
Behind the shadows – He was a pharmaceutical mogul. She was a giant in the philanthropic community. Five years after Barry and Honey Sherman’s shocking deaths, the mystery still swirls about why they died. Could it have been their money?
When media reported on Dec. 15, 2017, that Barry and Honey Sherman had been found dead in their Toronto home, it became the rare Canadian event that garnered international attention.
“Very quickly, it became a big story,” said Matthew Campbell, a Canadian reporter and editor for Bloomberg Businessweek. “There aren’t a lot of stories from Canada that go global, and there certainly aren’t a lot of stories from Canada that you get asked about at dinner parties in London and Paris, as I was over the next few months.”
Adam Zivo: Blame champagne socialists for Canada’s tsunami of violent crime
Canada is facing a rising tide of violent crime that has recently included a tragic series of random stabbings in major Canadian cities. One thing is clear: the bleeding heart approach to criminality, which has long been championed by Canada’s champagne socialists, is failing to keep communities safe.

How the Orwellian UK surrenders to Islamists
You can’t make this up. The paradoxes of living with Islam in the once-democratic UK of 2023 bring Orwell’s 1984′ to life.
In 1984 Soviet dissident Gunnars Astra was sentenced to twelve years’ imprisonment for possessing, among others, a copy of “1984” by George Orwell. In contemporary society, where everything seems to move incessantly towards progress, rights and freedom for all, it is difficult to grasp the paradoxes of the new 1984. We need a clear mind and intellectual courage.
Child abuse and grooming gangs ‘fed by political correctness’
Political correctness has fuelled the sexual exploitation of children, Rishi Sunak will say as he announces a plan to stamp out “evil” grooming gangs.
The prime minister will form a task force led by the National Crime Agency, with data analysis used to help the police to “identify the types of criminals who carry out these offences”.
Being involved in a grooming gang will become an aggravating factor during sentencing, and adults working with children will have a mandatory duty to report any suspicions that a child is being abused.
Net Zero: The Left now has a demonic new aim: to make ordinary people poorer
The net zero ‘debate’ has revealed a stunning shift in the basic assumptions that underpin Left-wing political thinking
We are living through the most startling political realignment in more than 100 years. Never since the advent of modern socialism in the early 20th century has the Left openly advocated making ordinary people poorer, thereby leaving those on the Right to defend the spread of mass prosperity. The debate (if this tendentious chorus of unanimity can be called a debate) on net zero has entirely shifted the ground on which modern political discourse has been based.
Darya Trepova: What we know about accused in Russian blogger Vladlen Tatarsky’s killing
The detention of Darya Trepova for the murder of Russian pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky has raised questions about the young woman’s background and politics.
Russia media reports say Ms Trepova, 26, handed Tatarsky a statuette which was believed to contain the explosives that killed him and injured more than 30 people. Later in a video released by the Russian Interior Ministry, she is seen admitting she brought the statuette to the cafe where the blast took place.
However, her statement was most likely obtained under duress, and she does not say whether she knew about the explosives.

Trump: The Man to Bring Down?
The indictment of former President Donald Trump is just the latest maneuver by many in the United States to distort elections.
The indictment will not be known until tomorrow, but according to the American media, the former president is accused of making fraudulent payments to a porn star with whom Trump denies having had sexual relations. According to the claims of his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who went to prison for “lying to the Internal Revue Services about the taxes he owed, lying to financial institutions and lying to Congress,” Trump is accused of making the payments with funds from his 2016 presidential campaign, which is prohibited. But Trump did not use campaign funds, which would actually have been a serious violation of campaign laws. Trump used his personal money — to pay Cohen.
