When Motive Matters—And When It Doesn’t

What the media did (and didn’t) cover at Atlanta, Boulder, and the Capitol

Nearly a week after Robert Aaron Long opened fire at two Atlanta-area spas, killing eight people, including six Asian women, MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart offered a stirring sermon to his viewers on the attack, insisting it was yet another instance of “discrimination and violence” against Asian Americans.

“We must not be cowed by the terror unleashed by white men drowning in the deep end of racism, xenophobia, and misogyny,” Capehart said. “We must not let fellow Americans of Asian descent think for one minute they’re alone.”

The Insanity of the Left’s ‘Let the Kids Have Their Knife Fights’ Argument

Protect Black Girls??? Isn’t that what the police officer did?

One of the more insane developments from the tragic shooting death of knife wielding Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio, has been the emergence of a desperate fantasy from the political left:

The “Let the kids have their knife fights” coalition that must think “West Side Story” is real life.

Idaho Bill That Bans ‘Indoctrination’ of Students Passes Senate

Idaho Bill That Bans ‘Indoctrination’ of Students Passes Senate

The left has gotten hysterical again. This time, it’s over a bill currently going through the Idaho legislature that would ban schools from “indoctrinating” students. Leftists claim it bans the teaching of critical race theory. It does not. What it does is make it legal to teach all points of view.

You can imagine how that’s going over on the left.

Prosecutor says Andrew Brown hit deputies with car before fatal shooting and judge delays releasing body camera footage

A North Carolina prosecutor said Andrew Brown Jr. hit law enforcement officers with his car before they opened fire, while a judge ordered a 10-day delay for the release of body camera footage in his fatal shooting on April 21.

District Attorney Andrew Womble told a judge at a hearing Wednesday he disagreed with a characterization by attorneys for the family of Brown that his vehicle was stationary when the shooting started, citing body camera footage he saw.

The video showed Brown’s car made contact with law enforcement twice before gunfire was heard on the video, Womble claimed, according to WSOC-TV.

Police arrest elderly Christian preacher after ‘he refused to stop reading from Genesis 1 that God made ‘only two genders’ and families should be ‘headed by a father and mother’

…A statement posted to a Christian Facebook his supporters read: ‘Whilst he was preaching, he expounded the final verses of Genesis 1, declaring that God’s purpose in creating mankind was to set human beings in families, headed by a father and a mother, not by two fathers, or by two mothers.

‘The distinction within mankind of just two genders, male and female, made in the image of God, constitutes the essence of God’s created order.’

Terence Corcoran: Steven Guilbeault’s platform should be taken down

The Trudeau Liberal government is obsessed with the two greatest industrial complexes of our time, Big Oil and Big Tech. Both must be brought down to ground level, an aggressive federal policy agenda personified by Steven Guilbeault, officially federal minister of Canadian heritage but unofficially a leading intellectual warrior in the battle against the two giant industrial sectors.

Ontario to provide three paid sick days after months of pressure

The Ontario government says it will provide three paid sick days for workers who don’t have time off during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the province continues to push Ottawa to improve its federal benefit.

The new temporary provincial program, which will expire on Sept. 25, will require employers to pay their workers up to $200 a day for up to three days. Employees can use the days if they have symptoms, to get vaccinated or to care for others. The changes will be retroactive to April 19, and will be administered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, with employers being reimbursed. The changes will be introduced through legislation.

Too late for many.

The Tribalist Left: When will the “antiracists” start rooting out the bigots in their own ranks?

Most Americans agree that racism in any form is abhorrent. But in recent weeks, far too many who call themselves “antiracists” have inflamed racial tensions with antiwhite bigotry that’s every bit as disgusting as what they claim to oppose. When will the antiracists start rooting out the bigots in their own ranks?

Communist China’s Quest for Dominance in Antarctica

Hardly a spot remains on the planet — and off — that China does not consider up for grabs, and that includes the North and South poles.

China’s ambitions in the Arctic include: In 2018, China issued its first Arctic policy paper, “China’s Arctic policy” and with a straight face declared itself, a “near-Arctic state”, wanting a “Polar Silk Road.” In fact, China is some 3,000 kilometers from the Arctic Circle[1]. Its “Polar Silk Road” would create new shipping routes linking Asia and Europe via the Arctic, as part of the Belt and Road Initiative, a gigantic development, infrastructure and investment initiative that seeks dramatically to enhance China’s global influence by making countries worldwide increasingly dependent on China.
