A major Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibit rejects beauty and cultivates racial resentment

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has mounted an exhibit whose curatorial philosophy, were it widely adopted, would spell the end of art and of art museums. The art press greeted the show ecstatically, as a sign of the Met’s new direction. This prognosis is undoubtedly correct.

Fictions of Emancipation (on view through March 5, 2023) is built around an 1873 sculpture by the brilliant French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. The marble bust, titled Why Born Enslaved!, portrays a black woman, bound by a rope, looking over her left shoulder with a piercing expression of defiance, incredulity, and contempt.

Just Like ‘Real’ Socialism, ‘Real Feudalism’ Has Never Been Tried

If we judge a political system purely on its promises rather than its actual consequences, why not give feudalism another shot?

The lines of ink of the Communist Manifesto, published 175 years ago today, have led to oceans of blood. Since Karl Marx issued his promise that workers who embrace communism “have nothing to lose but their chains,” regimes inspired by his philosophy have afflicted hundreds of millions of people — including the workers who are supposed to benefit from communism — with things worse than chains: gulags, famines, and firing squads.

Feminism has a woman problem

Why so many younger feminists have fallen for the delusions of gender ideology.

As the gender-identity wars reached fever-pitch, Rosie Duffield, Labour MP for Canterbury, accused her party of having ‘a woman problem’. Ever since Duffield first tentatively raised her head above the parapet to suggest that the common noun for ‘individuals with a cervix’ is, in fact, ‘women’, she has been subjected to outright hostility and ostracism. The lack of support for her from the parliamentary Labour Party is deafening. For Labour, the question of ‘what is a woman?’ is ‘always a sensitive issue’. According to Keir Starmer, the statement that only women have a cervix is ‘something that shouldn’t be said’.

The acceptable face of radical Islam

Online trolls hide behind progressive platitudes

LoonWatch.com was born on April Fool’s Day 2009. At precisely 20:33:38, someone used the pseudonym “Zuhair Thomas” to register the new website with GoDaddy, an internet service provider based in Arizona. What “Zuhair” created was a platform for anonymous character assassins, who used the names of little-known fish species — “Emperor”, “Garibaldi”, “Danios”, “Darter” — to conceal their identities. Their targets were so-called “loons”: anyone who spoke out against Islamic extremism, or in favour of Muslim reform.

Two Air Force vets testify to Pentagon about seeing UFO’s disable ten nuclear warheads and blast test missiles out of the sky

The Pentagon’s UFO office is investigating historic reports of mysterious objects interfering with key nuclear missile silos.

Two Air Force veterans told DailyMail.com they have testified to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) this month about their experiences of UFOs interfering with US nuclear missiles.

One email shows AARO staff contacted former US Air Force ICBM launch officer Robert Salas to gather information about his chilling encounter with an orange flying disc that inexplicably turned off 10 warheads at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana in 1967.

Child Molester “Dads” Dumbfounded After Judge Warns Their Chats Are Being Leaked

For the first time following Townhall’s bombshell investigation into a suburban LGBTQ pedophile ring near Atlanta, gay activists turned-alleged child rapists Zachary and William Zulock, who are accused of sexually abusing their adopted sons, made physical appearances in the courtroom for separate motion hearings on Feb. 1 as the Georgia child-prostitution case gears up for trial.

Trudeau can’t ignore the dangers of China’s attempts to influence Canadian elections

Oh no you don’t, Prime Minister.

Bombshell revelations that suggest Chinese agents actively, fraudulently and successfully manipulated Canada’s electoral integrity in the last two federal elections cannot be dismissed with the standard Justin Trudeau nothing-to-see-here shrug.

The allegations, based on top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) reports viewed by the Globe, are too insidious, too detailed and too important to ignore.

9 out of 10 “trans” prisoners in Canada are violent criminals

The Western world has been busily playing hide the salamis in women’s prisons, as long as said salamis claim they are actually peaches.

It turns out those peaches are rather hard and sour. I know that you will be as shocked as I am to hear that all those male prisoners who discovered their femininity while in prison are not very nice people. In fact, the vast majority of them turn out to be violent predators, and quite often sex offenders.

How Vladimir Putin sells his war against ‘the West’

Unable to explain setbacks in Ukraine, the Kremlin appeals to past victories.

MOSCOW — Every year, during the anniversary of the battle that turned back the Nazi assault on the Soviet Union, the city of Volgograd is briefly renamed Stalingrad, its Soviet-era name.

During this year’s commemoration, however, authorities went further. They unveiled a bust of the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, and paraded soldiers dressed as secret police in a bid to emphasize the parallels between Russia’s past and its present.

From Math Camp to Handcuffs: FTX’s Downfall Was an Arc of Brotherhood and Betrayal

Gary Wang and Sam Bankman-Fried are offering dueling accounts of the FTX fiasco and of who’s ultimately to blame.

They’d come a long way together, from teenage mathletes to MIT frat brothers to crypto billionaires.

Now the feds were closing in on both — and one was going to turn on the other.

“We can make this work,” Sam Bankman-Fried said over Signal, an encrypted messaging app.

Gary Wang didn’t reply.

This says Bankman-Fried is toast. How long he actually remains in jail is something we just have to wait on.

Woke Diversity Fail: BAFTA Film Awards Blasted over All-White Winners

The BAFTA Film awards are under attack by the woke mob following Sunday’s ceremony in which every single winner was white.

Among the 49 people who won Britain’s equivalent of the Oscars, not a single person was an ethnic minority despite BAFTA’s much-heralded diversity requirements that went into effect in 2019 and were designed to bring more minority faces to the winners circle.

Killing Jews Brings Light into The Hearts of Palestinians

After the recent wave of terror attacks in Jerusalem and the West Bank, Palestinians again took to the streets to celebrate the murder of Jews. As part of the celebrations, the Palestinians danced, chanted slogans in support of the terrorists and handed out sweets to passersby.

Whether intentionally or not, the world media continues to bypass a lot of the celebrations, including the unrestrained Palestinian rejoicing after 9/11, when some media outlets revealed footage of Palestinians dancing, handing out sweets, and celebrating the murder of thousands of Americans.
