Progressives look for racism everywhere — even where it doesn’t exist.
From peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to “niceness,” it seems they’ve slapped the “racist” label on everything at some point.
Now, Kenny Allen, opinion editor of Northwestern University’s student newspaper is attacking white people for “walk[ing] awkwardly on sidewalks because of their internalized racism,” Campus Reform reported last week.
Human rights laws in Canada protect against discrimination based on almost every identity imaginable, except there are no robust protections for political beliefs. Queen’s University law professor Bruce Pardy says in the era of cancel culture and anti-conservative discrimination, if we’re going to insist on maintaining human rights laws, we should add protection for people who suffer harm because of their political beliefs. He joined The Andrew Lawton Show to explain.
People will only put up with so many mistakes and reversals before they stop listening.
Do doctors need to only offer up official talking points when discussing COVID-19? That’s part of the discussion in an ongoing battle to regulate what doctors can say.
It’s outrageous that some, especially in positions of power, think doctors must never break ranks, but that’s what the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) did when it issued a statement on April 30.
The chant was heard during a far-left black bloc protest against a Billy Graham association event.
Former President Donald Trump released a statement reaffirming his support for the state of Israel in the wake of the ongoing conflict in the region with Hamas and other Palestinian groups.
Claiming that “our Nation is in deep peril,” the letter takes aim at both the FBI and the Supreme Court,” asserting that both “must act swiftly when election irregularities are surfaced and not ignore them as was done in 2020.” It also accuses the “Current Administration” of launching “a full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration’s effective policies and regulations.”
My friend and I have a game we often play. He’ll read a headline to me, and it’s up to me to guess whether it’s a real headline or something from The Babylon Bee. During the Trump era, I guessed correctly about half the time. Since Biden took over, I’m wrong almost 100% of the time. The problem is that I keep thinking crazed headlines are satire, but they’re not. As the old saying goes, the lunatics have taken over the asylum. It turns out to be difficult to satirize societal madness.
Last week, the left’s war on procreation was headline news.
In the April 29th British edition of Vogue, Nell Frizzell wrote a pean to population control: “Is Having a Child Pure Environmental Terrorism?” – a shameless piece of virtue signaling.
Frizzell confessed that when she was pregnant, she “worried feverishly about the strain on the Earth’s resources that another Western child would add.”
Liberals’ worship of the Good Doctor has reached new extremes
Mask wearing and reverence for Dr. Anthony Fauci have become the twin pillars of Washington DC’s civic religion.
Consider what happened in the District earlier this month. Our mayor, Muriel Bowser, and the city’s public health officials decided that the time had come to lift the mask mandate. As of last Friday the city would allow fully the vaccinated to gather inside without a mask.
The order was rescinded almost immediately.
At his June 25 sentencing hearing, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has the right to speak on his own behalf before the judge imposes the sentence. Here is what he might say.
Your honor, police work is a job like no other. Unlike most professionals, when police officers leave home on a night shift, their spouses and children pray that they will come home safe the next morning. They have reason to fear.
Last year alone, 295 American police officers were killed on the job, and many thousands more were injured. Cops run these outsized risks for a variety of reasons, but money is hardly among them. The average cop makes slightly more than a letter carrier but slightly less than a UPS driver.
Warning that the US is in “deep peril” from a “full-blown assault on our constitutional rights,” over 120 former top military brass have signed a letter outlining threats to its “survival,” including Biden administration policies.
The open letter, published on Monday by a group called ‘Flag Officers 4 America’, questions the result of the 2020 election, President Biden’s “mental and physical condition,” and sounds off on a number of hot-button topics, including China, the Iran nuclear deal, critical race theory, and the border wall.
The global woke loathing for Israel is taking an even darker turn.
Two weeks ago Turkish forces launched a military assault in the Duhok region of Iraqi Kurdistan. Villagers were forced to ‘flee in terror’ from raining bombs. It was only the latest bombardment of the beleaguered Kurds by Turkey, NATO member and Western ally. It did not trend online. There were no noisy protests in London or New York. The Turks weren’t talked about in woke circles as crazed, bloodthirsty killers. Tweeters didn’t dream out loud about Turks burning in hell. The Onion didn’t do any close-to-the-bone satire about how Turkish soldiers just love killing children. No, the Duhok attack passed pretty much without comment.
If the Canadian government doesn’t like the content you’re producing, they want to ensure you can’t make a living off it
Canadians pride themselves on their ultra-progressive reputation. In contrast to the gun-loving, war-mongering, big government-hating, get-off-my-lawn-you-commie reputation of Americans, Canadians see themselves as North America’s kinder, gentler half. But that smug politeness has seen us sleepwalk into an Orwellian nightmare.
We have never felt much of an affinity to free speech in Canada — saying what you really think is mean and individual rights are for people who don’t have a feminist drama teacher as prime minister. So it’s perhaps unsurprising that a new bill proposing to regulate speech on the internet is being pushed by our politically center-left Liberal party.
Thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds took to the streets last year in Frisco, Texas — the most suburban of suburbs — to march in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter slogan. Although some people worried the protests would transform into rioting, thankfully, the march remained peaceful. Unfortunately, it also proved to be rather pointless.
“I just want to ask an honest question here,” Noah said. “If you are in a fight where the other person cannot beat you, how much should you retaliate when they try to hurt you?”
In March, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called into question the organization’s report on the origins of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The stage-managed investigation didn’t take place until a year after the pandemic started, and reckoned that it’s most likely that the virus jumped to humans from animal species, deeming the lab leak hypothesis extremely unlikely. Tedros observed, “Although the team has concluded that a laboratory leak is the least likely hypothesis, this requires further investigation, potentially with additional missions involving specialist experts, which I am ready to deploy.”
Andrew Brown Jr. had a decades-long history of violent confrontations with police, including a 2016 incident during which he fought officers and was tasered, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The black dad-of-seven – who was shot dead last month when sheriff’s deputies surrounded his car in Elizabeth City, North Carolina – had a rap sheet dating back to his teens and spent at least eight stints behind bars.
Court documents seen by DailyMail.com reveal he faced more than 100 charges over three decades, ranging from misdemeanors for breaking and entering, making threats and assault with a deadly weapon, to six felony drug convictions.
There is a sort of madness abroad, a flippancy about the terms of reality itself, and it is comforted by the blasé acceptance that what we know is strange and rare and off every centre is perfectly normal. Is “normal” an allowed word? An interminable tide of woke prescriptions and politically correct dogmas pulses on. New and invented rules multiply by the minute and are not one bit less stringent for never having been debated, passed by any assembly, or discussed out loud in any forum of open minds. Suddenly, they are just there.
A recent report from the Associated Press claims that an army of fake bot accounts have been boosting China’s messaging on Twitter, and the platform was slow to take action to stop the propaganda campaign.
AP News reports that China’s Communist Party has been using bot accounts to boost its messaging across Western social media. AP reports that Liu Xiaoming, China’s former ambassador to the United Kingdom, has generated a large online following on Twitter and other social media websites.
