Brand new survey data suggest that corporations that cave to the left alienate more consumers than they attract — by a big margin. Glenn Reynolds’s slogan “Get woke, go broke” turns out to be very true.
CAIR and US Islamists Have a #MeToo Problem
Rape, sexual harassment, and child abuse in the Sharia states-within-a-state.
First, Ahmad Saleem, a community organizer for CAIR in Florida, was busted after showing up to molest what he thought was a 12-year-old girl he had met over the internet. When Ahmad showed up in a car with a plate, “Invest in Children”, the cops were waiting for him instead.
The son of Pakistani immigrants had headed up the local Muslim Students Association at the University of Central Florida before moving up the ranks at CAIR. Then it was off to prison.
Why the atheists turned on Dawkins
They care more about social justice than whether or not God exists
I suppose it was inevitable that the author of The God Delusion would face charges of blasphemy, but one would never have guessed, in 2006, that they would come from his own side.
First, I should declare an interest. At the risk of being hyperbolic, I believe that Professor Richard Dawkins’s tweets are some of the greatest cultural monuments of the 21st Century. Combining a natural gift for surrealism with a blissful indifference to how people will react to him, they inspire both amusement and outrage — as strange and yet perfectly formed as diamonds falling from the Heavens.
The guards caring for Chernobyl’s abandoned dogs
It wasn’t long after he arrived in the irradiated landscape of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone that Bogdan realised his new job came with some unexpected companions. From his first days as a checkpoint guard in Chernobyl, he has shared the place with a pack of dogs.
Bogdan (not his real name) is now in his second year of working in the zone and has got to know the dogs well. Some have names, some don’t. Some stay nearby, others remain detached – they come and go as they please. Bogdan and the other guards feed them, offer them shelter, and occasionally give them medical care. They bury them when they die.
Lefties made a big mistake trying to racialize the death of knife-attacker Ma’Khia Bryant
New video, apparently from a surveillance camera across the street, conclusively justified the shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio. A tweet from Matt Walsh has already garnered well over a million views, with the video and audio revealing the murderous intent and the heroic rescue.
Capitol riot: the terror attack that wasn’t
Numerous Capitol riot myths, pushed by the media, have completely collapsed.
When a crowd of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol in January, America’s liberal elite went into meltdown.
‘Insurrection’ was the catchword. Commentators called for a ‘domestic war on terror’ in response. A terrible blow had been struck at the heart of American democracy, they said – and it was all Donald Trump’s fault.
BLM Activists Threaten Cops: ‘You Shoot Us, We Shoot You’ After Columbus Shooting
The Daily Caller reported that Black Lives Matter activists protesting near where 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant was fatally shot by a police officer threatened to kill police in retaliation, a video posted to Twitter Thursday shows.
“We’re not gonna sit here and just sit around while you shoot and kill us and go back to the suburbs,” an unidentified protestor says. “We’re sick … maybe it needs to be an eye for an eye” he continued, with some protesters saying “yeah” in agreement, according to the report.
Jonathan Kay: Oh look: Now the ravines are racist, too
I’m getting vaccinated on May 5, a milestone that I regard (at least symbolically) as marking the beginning of my slow return to pre-pandemic life. But even when the lockdowns are over, my daily routines will remain permanently altered.
Prior to the pandemic, I spent almost my entire life indoors. I’d wile away the days staring at a computer, sitting in a car, and working out in a gym. I didn’t even like outdoor restaurant patios because I always had anxiety about whether there’d be an inside table available if it suddenly rained. Plus, allergies.
The Toronto Star had a similar piece some years ago. The woke see everything through an outraged racist lens. Swimming, camping you name it and it’s racist. But I have to admit declaring the preservation of nature a racist white concept set a high bar for sheer lunacy.
“Are Toronto ravines still the domain of white people? And if so, what should we do about that?”
“African American people feel safe in cities and less safe in nature,” says Fearn, who is black. “Preserving wild places is a white concept, going back to Rome.”
I’ve lived in Minneapolis my entire life. I’m leaving Friday. I no longer recognize my hometown.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Minneapolis is my home. My happiest memories are here. It’s where I learned to ride a bike, had my first date, received my high school diploma.
But today, I’m too afraid to even walk in my neighborhood by myself.
The ACE Hardware down the street? The one that I used to bike to in the summer? Robbed twice in the past five days.
Did Politics Ruin the Oscars?
The Academy Awards are this weekend. Almost no one has even heard of the movies up for Best Picture.
If nothing else, the pandemic has shown us the weaknesses of our cultural and political institutions.
Case in point, this year’s Oscars. They have problems. Big problems.
You can see those problems in the public’s relationship to the movies up for best picture, the ceremony’s top award.
For one thing, it’s not clear anyone has seen any of the movies nominated.
I have no idea what has been nominated and I know I haven’t seen any of them.
Why do white people hate Mother Earth? AOC, Sierra Club expose real causes of climate change
On Earth Day every year, we are bombarded with rhetoric that can easily be described as hyperbolic. In their zeal to get out their message, environmental activists go overboard. This year one reason for climate change is social injustice, according to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Another reason is spelled out in a letter to supporters of the Sierra Club – it’s white supremacy.

WARMINGTON: Peterborough mayor says anti-lockdown ‘clown convention’ not welcome
There’s few places as welcoming in Ontario to visitors than Peterborough.
Turns out not everybody is welcome in the venerable city on the Otonabee River, as its mayor made clear Thursday.
The Courage of Our Convictions – How to fight critical race theory
Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. This must change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.
To explain critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Karl Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. The solution to that imbalance, according to Marx, was revolution: the workers would eventually gain consciousness of their plight, seize the means of production, overthrow the capitalist class, and usher in a new socialist society.
Cancel Linda Thomas-Greenfield!
The US Ambassador to the United Nations seems to hate her country
Two weeks ago, while speaking to Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, America’s Ambassador to the United Nations said ‘When we raise issues of equity and justice at the global scale, we have to approach them with humility. We have to acknowledge that we are an imperfect union – and have been since the beginning – and every day we strive to make ourselves more perfect, and more just.’
