The Indiana attorney general slammed Black Lives Matter as a falling ‘house of cards’ before the activist group shut down all of its fundraising websites late Wednesday afternoon.
The move comes as BLM was forbidden to collect donations in California and Washington due to its ‘lack of financial transparency,’ but reportedly continued to do so.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita compared BLM to an ‘illegal enterprise’ following a typical pattern of financial scheming.
The likening of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to white-ruled South Africa is growing more widespread in the US mainstream
At the beginning of the year, Israel’s foreign minister Yair Lapid reflected on the diplomatic challenges for 2022.
“We think that in the coming year, there will be debate that is unprecedented in its venom and in its radioactivity around the words ‘Israel as an apartheid state’,” he told Israeli journalists. “In 2022, it will be a tangible threat.”
Lapid pointed to two United Nations investigations he said were likely to conclude that Israel’s governance of occupied Palestinian territory amounts to the crime of apartheid under international law.
From the ‘You aren’t helping’ Department:
The ADL’s hateful anti-white definition of racism has blown up in their face.
Now the ADL is unabashedly far-left so lunatic behavior is expected but this PR disaster sets a new standard for self-destructive stupidity. Only after widespread condemnation did it finally dawn on someone working at the ADL that actually being racist wasn’t a good look for an organization purporting to “fight racism” hence the dash to rehash the definition.
Did they think jumping on the Hate-Whitey bandwagon would buy their organization or Israel a pass in the current battle to label Israel an “Apartheid State” because hating whites is second only to hating Israel among their left wing pals? Was it just a case of falling victim to the pratfalls of blind adherence to half-baked left-wing ideology?
But yea, keep up with that cynical “racial solidarity” sing-song boys.
According to the ADL’s new definition, the CCP sending 1 million Uyghurs to concentration camps is not “systemic racism”—because it doesn’t “advantage white people.” pic.twitter.com/FZL99d2PTd

ADL Changes Definition of ‘Racism‘ Again
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a once-respected civil rights organization that has joined the activist left, appeared to change its definition of “racism” on Wednesday after Breitbart News and others pointed out an earlier, anti-white change.
Ottawa’s mayor is calling on several Conservative MPs and a senator from Saskatchewan to apologize for praising the anti-vaccine mandate protest that has brought the capital’s downtown to a standstill for close to a week.
A photo shows MPs Warren Steinley, Kevin Waugh, Andrew Scheer, Fraser Tolmie, Rosemarie Falk and Sen. Denise Batters grinning — some giving the thumbs-up — in front of one of the protest trucks, which have been barricading roads and honking horns in the city almost non-stop since Saturday.
It wasn’t the most confidence-inspiring of news conferences.
On the sixth straight day of the protest that has immobilized the core of the nation’s capital and harassed local residents, Ottawa officials still gave nothing approaching a timeline of when this all might come to an end.
“I can’t give you a definitive, ‘It’s one day, it’s two days. It’s one week, it’s two weeks,'” police Chief Peter Sloly told council members during a public briefing Wednesday afternoon.
No sense of an end date isn’t what anyone wanted to hear. Even more disturbing, the chief floated the unsettling idea that policing alone won’t end this mess.
A cynic might conclude the CBC is floating trial balloons for the powers that be on the best way to implement a Happy Face Laurentian end to the uppity truckers protest.

Europe entering Covid pandemic ‘ceasefire’, says WHO
The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Europe director says the continent could soon enter a “long period of tranquillity” in the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dr Hans Kluge cited high vaccination rates, the end of winter and the less severe nature of the Omicron variant.
Speaking to reporters, he said: “This period of higher protection should be seen as a ‘ceasefire’ that could bring us enduring peace.”
It comes as a number of European nations end Covid-19 restrictions.
ATMEH, Syria (AP) — The leader of the violent Islamic State group was killed during an overnight raid in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province, President Joe Biden said Thursday.
The raid targeted Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, who took over as head of the militant group on Oct. 31, 2019, just days after leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died during a U.S. raid in the same area. A U.S. official said he died as al-Baghdadi did, by exploding a bomb that killed himself and members of his family, including women and children, as U.S. forces approached.
He is also known as Amir Muhammad Sa’id Abdal-Rahman al-Mawla.
Actress Gina Carano trended on Twitter this week after news broke that “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg would be suspended for two weeks for controversial comments she made about Jews, race, and the Holocaust.
The stock market has plummeted, erasing hundreds of billions of dollars in household wealth in the span of weeks. War in Ukraine is a distinct possibility and not merely a worst-case scenario. Stakes as high as these tend to concentrate the mind. As a result, the ongoing and seemingly endless debates about “wokeness”—for want of a better term for the way a powerful sliver of the left discusses race and identity—seem odd and even unimportant.
In early January, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and the Islamic Republic of Iran traveled to China in the span of a week to strengthen their ties with the Chinese Communist Party. China, the emerging global superpower, has become the number one trading partner for these nations, thereby deepening Beijing’s political influence in the Middle East.
Over the last decade, on average, China imported half of its oil from the region. In 2020, China imported $82.6 billion of oil from Persian Gulf countries. Unlike Western democracies, China is in no rush to divest from fossil fuels. As the demand for Persian Gulf oil fades in the West, Chinese imports play an even more critical role in the region’s economic life.
The white upper middle class is deranging American politics. We should have seen it coming.
In 2010, America’s last famous novelist, Jonathan Franzen, launched on the reading public Freedom, his tale of a striving family headed by Walter and Patty Berglund. They were gentrifiers in St. Paul, Minn. The paterfamilias was a lawyer at the conglomerate 3M but no corporate cutthroat. He biked to work and was in the outreach-and-philanthropy department. The Berglunds were “the super-guilty sort of liberals who needed to forgive everybody so their own good fortune could be forgiven; who lacked the courage of their privilege.”
It’s not huge news that the Biden administration was a colossal failure on Afghanistan, or that Joe Biden still thinks there’s nothing to apologize for.
What’s news now is the colossal incompetence that went on inside that administration as Afghanistan was collapsing, according to a leaked memo that Axios got hold of…
Critics of the “Islamophobia” bill sponsored by the winsome and patriotic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) say that it will be used not just to combat vigilante attacks against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, but to stifle any criticism of Islam at all, including opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. Omar’s latest husband, the amply remunerated political consultant Tim Mynett, has just proven this concern to be abundantly justified by accusing a U.S.-based Iranian dissident of opposing the bill just because she dislikes Muslims. It’s an ugly false charge, and it reveals that the foes of Omar’s “Islamophobia” bill were right all along.
Too many liberals have tried to suppress debate about Sweden’s violence problem.
Peaceful, comfortable, and broadly middle-class, Sweden’s reputation as a Scandi social-democratic paradise has been one of modern life’s reliable constants.
But this image is starting to crumble. Rocked by a migrant rape crisis, a wave of women’s killings, and a sharp rise in gun and grenade attacks, Sweden is struggling to reconcile its gentle outlook with this violent reckoning.
There is perhaps no better representative of America’s spirit than the rebels of the road, American truckers. So it makes perfect sense that they would be at the forefront of organizing an anti-vaccine mandate caravan that will start in California sometime next month and roll into Washington, D.C. some weeks later.
