The creepy thought experiments of Ta-Nehisi Coates

Why the hell is Coates wondering if he would have joined in Hamas’s pogrom of 7 October?

So now we know what it would take for Ta-Nehisi Coates to kill some Jews. I should say that this is not a question I had been pondering. I was not lying awake at night wondering what might push America’s most celebrated man of letters over the cliff edge of savagery. And yet we have the answer nonetheless. If he was a little younger, and had been born in Gaza, and had experienced ‘the oppression and the poverty’ of that tiny, benighted strip of land, then it’s possible, he says, that he would have thrown himself into 7 October. That he would have joined the pogrom. That he would have killed Israelis.

People are calling out the airbrushing of Kamala Harris’ Vogue cover: ‘Why does this look like AI?’

Vice President Kamala Harris has sparked controversy over her latest Vogue cover, with the publication featuring a profile declaring her the ‘candidate for our times.’

The democratic presidential nominee posed in a Gabriela Hearst suit and her infamous Tiffany earrings for the October digital issue of the fashion magazine, but it wasn’t her fashion choices – or polices – that had people up in arms.

Users took to social media to comment on the apparent heavy airbrushing of Harris, 59, on the cover, released on Friday.

Science magazine promotes faulty race discrimination claim

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is on the ropes these days, and it’s a big problem for institutions that have invested deeply in this belief system. One way to rescue the enterprise is to tout new scientific results which buttress the claim that minorities and women are discriminated against in academia. Ergo the need for affirmative action.

In the same vein …

RUBENSTEIN: Roots of Jew-hatred run deep through Middle East

It’s called the world’s oldest hatred for good reason because antisemitism goes back to the beginning of the 6th century with the birth of Islam, in what is now Saudi Arabia.

That is why Arab-born Troy Media columnist Gerry Chidiac’s assertion in Debunking the myth of Arab antisemitism that “the belief that we [Arabs] are inherently antisemitic and have been in conflict with Jews for centuries” is one of “many common misconceptions about Arabs” is itself a misconception, even though it is endlessly repeated by other Arab activists and their supporters.

Jack Mintz: Will Canada’s auto industry need another bailout?

It’s been a tough year for some auto companies. Sales of electric vehicles continue to grow, especially in China and India, though more slowly than expected in North America and Europe. Demand is even falling in Italy, Japan and Germany. Meanwhile, cheaper Chinese EVs are grabbing market share in Europe and Asia. While improving recently, global vehicle sales remain sluggish at 90 million units in 2023, four million short of 2018.

Democrats’ Grand Slam Thursday – Offending Blacks, Latinos, Catholics, and Marines All In the Same Day

Honest to Pete, I don’t know how the people at Babylon Bee do it. This campaign cycle’s level of absurdity is getting to the point where it’s literally beyond the ability to write parody.

Do you remember all the way back to the 2020 campaign? Joe Biden, from his basement on May 22nd, video linked into the Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God. At the end of the interview, Charlamagne was baiting Biden, as most radio hosts would, to come back in the future.

Hidden camera, internal memo reveal how unqualified truck drivers are getting onto Canada’s roads

The system for testing truck drivers in Ontario has been compromised by bribes, forged documents and rigged testing, says a memo leaked to CBC’s Marketplace by an industry insider.

A subsequent hidden camera investigation by Marketplace reveals that the training students get ahead of that test can be just as problematic.

Ontario’s DriveTest centres are managed by a company called Serco, which oversees operations and logistics for a variety of organizations, ranging from air traffic control for the Canadian Armed Forces to employment services for the federal government.

A Nobel Peace Prize for UNRWA? Has the meaning of peace changed?

In these progressive/woke times, it has become increasingly concerning to observe how no stand is taken as certain words, once laden with profound significance, are co-opted to serve agendas far removed from their true meanings. It is as if Orwell’s doublespeak has come to life in 2024 instead of 1984. Remember how he wrote how the powers that be insisted that War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength, and 2 + 2 = 5?

Americans Are Leaving Liberal States for Stronger Community Ties

For several decades, political and social commentators have noticed a phenomenon, colloquially known as the “Big Sort,” in which individuals and families have reorganized themselves into local communities along political, cultural, and religious lines. This idea first came to prominence with Bill Bishop’s 2008 book, The Big Sort. Since the convulsions of 2020, and especially since the widespread adoption of remote work, this sorting has intensified.

When does a crowd cheering the death of Canada become an emergency?

Nearly three years ago, an organized menace swallowed the streets of downtown Ottawa. Businesses were forced to shut down, residents were harassed, and people who lived in the core were tortured by round-the-clock honking. The trucker convoy was a revolt against COVID-19 rules – in particular, the requirement that those crossing the border to the U.S. in either direction show proof of vaccination – though Canada’s government obviously had little control over entry requirements set by the U.S. government. That didn’t matter to many of the protesters: they were going to show Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that he couldn’t simply dismiss them as a “fringe” minority.

That Islam was invited to invade speaks volumes of our depraved “elites” and is emergency enough.

Jewish members feeling betrayed by unions’ anti-Israel stances

Creepy as fuck Fred Hahn

OTTAWA — Abandoned, alone and bullied into silence.

That’s how Jewish members are reacting to the involvement of Canadian unions in nationwide demonstrations last week commemorating the Oct. 7 terror attacks.

There are answers but no one wishes to speak of them out loud.

Purge academia, eliminate the indoctrination curriculum, allow universities to fail.

No more refugees.

Enact an immigration freeze on Islamic states and Islamists in general.

Consider deportation as the response to hate marches and terrorist acts.

A few thousand at a time, those who attend the mosque and the friends and family of would be Jihadis.
