The great debate over replacing Kamala Harris wasn’t about qualifications. What qualifications? California Democrats are qualified for little except virtue signaling and racial quotas. And so the debate came down to whether Governor Newsom would replace Kamala Harris, who is half-Jamaican and half-Indian, with a black woman (the assumption was that another half-Indian and half-Jamaican wasn’t an option) or a Latino.
The Alice Walker Cult
A novelist who spreads falsehoods about Black males and Jews is an object of white feminist worship
In a recent February issue of The New Republic, the reviewer Jennifer Wilson includes a comment made about me by Salamishah Tillet in her book In Search of The Color Purple: The Story of an American Masterpiece. In her book, she makes insubstantial claims about my criticism of the film, The Color Purple. She writes about my novel, Reckless Eyeballing, that I “turned Walker into the fictional character Tremonisha Smarts, who gains fame for writing Wrongheaded Man, a play about a black man who goes around bashing and raping women that is so successful that the white feminist theater producer Barbara Sedgwick wants to adapt it into a movie.” No such character exists in my novel. Tillet provides no evidence that the character is based upon Alice Walker, nor does the character Ian Ball, despite his psychological problems, rape women. She says that the assailant in the novel is “unknown.” She hasn’t read the book.
“Spermageddon”
No more babies? The hormone-altering chemicals threatening human procreation
There’s a looming solution to all of humanity’s problems — by 2045 most men may no longer be able to reproduce because of the impact of hormone-altering chemicals.
That’s according to Shanna Swan, a leading scholar of reproductive health. “The current state of reproductive affairs can’t continue much longer without threatening human survival,” she told POLITICO.
That adds yet another danger to the list of potential human calamities, but awareness of our looming reproductive demise still isn’t widespread, Swan said.
Prepare yourself for the post-lockdown dystopia
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council is bringing in drones to police its beaches this summer.
It is spending millions of pounds preparing for the easing of lockdown restrictions – hiring Covid marshals and deploying drones – as it expects a surge in tourist numbers. Thankfully, reports suggest that the drones will be ‘unarmed’.
Are we even going to have a summer?
Near George Floyd Square: Revolution by day, devolution by night
The neighbors surrounding the site of George Floyd’s death in south Minneapolis are asking for prayers, and help.
As neighbors of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, also known as George Floyd Square or the autonomous zone, we are witnessing a revolution by day and a devolution by night.
Prayer gatherings canceled. Rallies canceled. Visitors arriving with flowers in hand, only to retreat to their cars when greeted by the sound of gunshots. Neighbors ducking for cover behind our houses, children in tow.
The spiritual health of our community, the feeling of being connected to something larger than ourselves, is collapsing.
Rapper is cleared of slicing off his flatmate’s penis after the ‘victim’ told judges he mutilated himself because of gender issues
A Spanish rapper has been cleared of slicing off his British flatmate’s penis after the Oxford graduate told judges he had mutilated himself because of gender issues.
Andrew Breach, a 35-year-old English teacher, has also been told he will not face a perjury probe after the three sentencing judges turned down a request by prosecutors to charge him with false testimony.
Mr Breach claimed at Aaron Beltran’s two-day trial on March 1 and 2 he chopped off his own penis with a kitchen knife because of gender issues despite telling police his flatmate was to blame in one of his earlier statements.
Georgia massage parlor shootings leave 8 dead; man captured
ATLANTA (AP/NewsNation) — A 21-year-old man has been captured in southwest Georgia, hours after eight people were killed in shootings at three Atlanta-area massage parlors.
Cherokee County sheriff’s Capt. Jay Baker said Robert Aaron Long of Woodstock, Georgia, was taken into custody in Crisp County on Tuesday night, about 150 miles south of Atlanta.
Atlanta Police Chief Rodney Bryant said three people were killed at a spa in northeast Atlanta, while a fourth person was killed at another spa across the street. He said all three victims were female, and “It appears that they may be Asian.”
California Ethnic Studies Curriculum Pushes Students to Volunteer at Arab-American Organizations
The latest version of a public school curriculum set to be implemented across California includes an assignment for students to volunteer for an Arab-American organization, a call that’s not made for any other ethnic group.
The call is included in a sample homework assignment for California’s Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC), an education blueprint years in the making that has been criticized in the past as “blatantly anti-Semitic” and caused an uproar in the American Jewish community.
Not Again! The FBI Covers Up the Nashville Bombing
At last, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that revered organization of maximum probity, trusted by every American from sea to shining sea, lauded in the television series “The FBI Files,” not to mention the earlier “The FBI,” starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr. of “77 Sunset Strip” fame, has, after great deliberation by their highly esteemed Quantico Behavioral Analysis Unit, delivered the truth behind the mysterious Nashville, Tennessee, bombing by that suicidal, paranoiac, aging IT expert Anthony Quinn Warner early on Christmas morning in 2020.
A Conservative government would not actually do anything conservative like cut foreign aid, Erin O’Toole says
A Conservative government would not cut foreign aid, Erin O’Toole says
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole reversed his predecessor’s position on foreign aid spending Tuesday, saying that if elected, a Conservative government wouldn’t cut that budget.
But he said he would look to mirror previous Conservative foreign aid programs that tied funds to specific, measurable outcomes.
“I want to maintain and modernize and make more accountable our development funding,” he said during a virtual event with Cooperation Canada, an umbrella organization for international development agencies.
John Oliver and the Media’s Woke Racial Supremacists
Call them the Woke Racial Supremacists.
You know who they are — and so do they. These are the folks for whom race is always at issue because they themselves first, last, and always judge others by race.
This crowd is overwhelmingly composed of members of the American Left — and there is a reason for that.
The reason is as simple as it is crystal clear. The main political force behind the Left in America is the Democratic Party. And, as I’ve documented in historic detail, this is the Party of Race.
Why Journalists Hate Substack
Last week the online media industry went through one of its recurring rituals of self-flagellation. HuffPost, formerly known as The Huffington Post (before the association with Arianna Huffington’s various lifestyle branding initiatives maybe became a bit too cringeworthy) saw its journo-workforce dramatically slashed by new parent company BuzzFeed. As is custom, those who got the axe ceremoniously took to Twitter to announce their fate and solicit new opportunities, with colleagues and peers chiming in to affirm how amazing they are and why you should totally hire them. Certainly the instinct to offer public support for laid-off friends and acquaintances is understandable. But…
Guess Which Group Noticed The Most “Positive Benefits” From The Pandemic
Maybe a better question might be how anybody is seeing positive benefits from the pandemic. But that’s the question that Scott Rasmussen put to a wide cross-section of Americans recently. He asked respondents if they “can think of any positive benefits in their life” as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
What do the mysterious cases of Barry and Honey Sherman and Jeffrey Epstein have in common?
The high-profile death investigations of Barry and Honey Sherman in Toronto, and Jeffrey Epstein in New York, were complicated by confusion and misdiagnosis allegations related to the post-mortem condition of a small U-shaped neck bone called the “hyoid,” the Star has found.
While in life the billionaire philanthropist Shermans and accused sex trafficker Epstein were polar opposites, in death there was a similar controversy over how they died.
In both cases, though in different ways, it appears too much emphasis was placed on whether their hyoid bones were broken or not, and not enough emphasis on other factors. The theory held by some is that a broken hyoid strongly suggests a violent murder by strangulation, and an intact hyoid is indicative of a suicide, where typically less pressure is applied. Not so, say leading experts.
