An activist has warned California’s reparations task force that there will be ‘a serious backlash’ if they do not comply with his demands for more than $800,000 to be handed out black residents,

Deon Jenkins told the first meeting of the Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans that money given to black people in the California should be in-line with the average price of a home in the state, around $800,000.

Liberal Jewish groups defend Ilhan Omar, deny she is anti-Israel

Reform Movement joins left-leaning Jewish groups to condemn Republican push to remove Ilhan Omar from committee, denying she is anti-Israel

An array of leftist Jewish groups, including the activist arm of the Reform movement, blasted the likely incoming Republican House speaker, Kevin McCarthy, for pledging to remove Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee over past comments he has called antisemitic.

The tone of the statement released Monday was unusually combative for Jewish nonprofits, insinuating that McCarthy came closer to to expressing antisemitism than Omar did.

McCarthy, a California Republican whose party won a bare majority in U.S. House of Representatives last month, has pledged to remove Omar because of statements she made that critics say peddle antisemitic tropes about hidden and excessive Jewish power. She has apologized for some, but not all, of the statements.

Google Goes Full-On Racist, Will Start Marking the Race of Business Owners

Remember the old “Whites Only/Colored Only” signs on water fountains and bathrooms in the old Jim Crow South? Thanks to Google, that kind of open, in-your-face racism is back with a vengeance. Google is so concerned that you not be racist that it is doing the most racist thing a major corporation has done at least since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: it is planning to mark the race of the owners of various businesses so that racists of all varieties can patronize only the stores of their favored group. Have Google’s far-Left ideologues really thought this through? If they really want to eradicate racism, this is just the way not to do it.

This will backfire.

The War for Eight Billion Minds

Governments are relying increasingly on controlling public “narratives” and vilifying dissent.

The heavy perils we face today include centralized governments micromanaging society, the growing prospect of global war, the growing prospect of forced surrender, and the replacement of reasoned debate and free speech with state-sanctioned “narratives” and censorship: totalitarian governance seems not far behind. This is a new kind of war against civilians for control of their minds.

The torrents engulfing us appear to be potentially catastrophic. In a few short years, the world has endured the COVID-19 pandemic, forced government lockdowns, extreme economic volatility, commodity shortages, and the World Economic Forum’s attempts to exploit this cascade of crises as an excuse to usher in a structural “Great Reset” in which global food and energy consumption can be strictly regulated according to the “climate change” goals of an unelected cabal. Governments are relying increasingly on controlling public “narratives” and vilifying dissent.

Rates of charitable giving reach record low in Canada as need increases

Even as demand spikes for food banks and other charitable supports, a new report finds that Canadians are now donating less to charity than at any other time on record.


Why?

Economic hard times? A less religious society? An expectation that it’s government’s responsibility?

Or is it due to Canada’s transformation into a low trust, balkanized society thanks to the elite’s destructive immigration policy?
