We shortchange the ambitions of the left and minimize the perils of our time when we focus on race. Race is just a weapon the left is using in its ongoing cultural revolution, which aims to dismantle the pillars of Western culture.

WATCH: AOC will only support infrastructure ‘centering frontline, Indigenous, black and brown, and low-income communities’
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said that she “will not support bipartisan legislation” on infrastructure unless it is “centering frontline, Indigenous, black and brown, and low-income communities that are polluted on” and “often experience the greatest brunt” of climate change-related infrastructure failures.
Navy is not ready for war because sailors are forced to focus on diversity training with officers blaming poor leadership
A scathing new report commissioned by members of Congress has claimed that the Navy’s surface warfare forces have systemic training and leadership issues, including a focus on diversity that overshadows basic readiness skills.
The report prepared by Marine Lt. Gen. Robert Schmidle and Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery, both retired, came in response to recent Naval disasters, including the burning of the USS Bonhomme Richard in San Diego, two collisions involving Navy ships in the Pacific and the surrender of two small craft to Iran.
The authors conducted hour-long interviews with 77 current and retired Navy officers, offering them anonymity to identify issues they wouldn’t feel comfortable raising in the chain of command.
Want to Save America? Don’t Act Like a Conservative.
Chest-Thumpers and ‘Aw, Shucks’ Conservatives Personify the Right’s Love Affair with Losing
Chris Rufo is doing something so spectacularly unconservative, he may need to update his political affiliation: he’s winning.
Last week, Rufo’s successful legislative efforts to ban critical race theory in the classroom found critique in the New York Times. The guest essay conspicuously avoided naming him; then again, it didn’t have to.
Can Britain survive the woke wave?
Conflicts over national identity have the potential to tear the fabric of civil society
Back in 1963 a landmark study by academics Gabriel Almond and Sidney Verba called, The Civic Culture, looked into why the British did not follow the Germans and the Italians into the abyss of fascism, and why communism has similarly failed to take root here. They concluded that the country’s political culture made it inhospitable to radical ideologies. The British didn’t do ideology.
Now Belief in Creationism Is ‘White Supremacy.’
In a silly non-scientific op-ed at Scientific American, Allison Hopper declares that “denial of evolution” is a form of “white supremacy.” No, it’s not a satire piece. It’s a bigoted anti-Christian rant masquerading as a science op-ed. In it, Hopper, whose bio says she’s a “filmmaker and designer,” claims that “evolution denial” perpetuates violence against black people…
VIDEO: Charlottesville Takes Down Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea Statue
The city’s remaining contested statue was torn from its pedestal Saturday once Charlottesville’s City Council voted unanimously to take down the statue of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea.
Ontario’s grade 9 math curriculum will include “decolonial” and “anti-racist” approach
According to documents posted on the education ministry’s website, a new approach to math is needed to combat the field’s inherent white supremacy.
Democrats Are Quietly Admitting That Going ‘Woke’ Was a Very Bad Idea
This experiment has derailed. It’s not similar in any way since Republicans aren’t this crazy concerning political correctness, but there was a dominant wing of the party that simply had to be told to get to the back of the bus around 2016. The neoconservative project derailed post-Iraq War. Americans were not going to keep a GOP majority in Congress over national security fears. They were tired of endless wars. They were not patient over this nation-building nonsense. They saw the bill we paid, what we got, and we’re not pleased.
Boston Pride announces it will shut down after criticism it was racist, insufficiently supportive of BLM

Calling foods ‘exotic’ is xenophobic, according to WaPo food critic
Which Dungan dish do you like better: ash lan fin or lamian? Chances are you’ve never heard of either, mainly because the items are staples of Dungan cuisine — which I’m betting you’ve also never heard of. After all, how many restaurants in America feature the foods of Chinese Muslims who left their homeland in western China around the turn of twentieth century and settled in neighboring Kazakhstan (aka the Dungan people)?
The ingredients found in Dungan preparations — things like tripe (stomach) and bean jelly might prompt one to describe the cuisine as “exotic.” But to do so, according to Washington Post food critic G. Daniela Galarza, is to show your xenophobia.
‘Black Widow‘ Review: Dull, Sexless, and Heavy-Handed
Like the dreadful Birds of Prey, Black Widow is only receiving positive reviews because it’s directed by a chick, and everyone’s terrified of being herded into solar-powered cattle cars and sent to Wokeschwitz.
That needed to be said.
Has anyone noticed the LGBT movement is now homophobic?
The late Rush Limbaugh loved to quip (or was it a quip?) that he was on the cutting edge of societal evolution. Far be it from me to ever question the political insights of the great Maha Rushie, but I just don’t know if it is even possible for a human mind, no matter how keenly it is fine-tuned and honed to the machinations of its political opposition, to anticipate the speed and degree to which social movements are changing these days.
For instance, while many of us recognized that the sexual revolution was never going to stop at gay marriage (did it stop at the mainstreaming of pornography, the advent of no-fault divorce, the fetishizing of adultery, the subversion of sodomy laws?), could anyone have predicted that a movement started by gays, for gays, would so quickly turn to be anti-gay?
Utah Chapter Of Black Lives Matter Says Those Who Fly American Flag Are ‘Racist’
Black Lives Matter Utah on the Fourth of July called the American flag a symbol of hate on social media, setting off a robust response.
“When we Black Americans see this flag,” the post read, “we know the person flying it is not safe to be around. When we see this flag we know the person flying it is a racist.”
