Google and Urban Dictionary censor ‘Blue Anon’ following widespread mockery of left-wing conspiracy theories
The life of new term “Blue Anon” in the online Urban Dictionary was short-lived. After emerging on social media and landing in a spot in the slang-term glossary on Saturday, it was quickly purged. A Google search brings up nothing on the term other than brand name ski gear.
15 Insane Things In Democrats’ H.R. 1 Bill To Corrupt Elections Forever
On Wednesday, House Democrats passed an 800-page bill that would mandate insecure voting processes and subject voting tallies to partisan manipulation. It’s a slap in the face to the half of Americans, including many Democrats, who believe the 2020 election was riddled with fraud and errors, largely due to the rapid expansion of mail-in balloting and other suspensions of state election laws.
European bans on Islamic full-face veils
Switzerland is the latest European country to ban the niqab, the Islamic full-face veil that shows only the eyes.
Swiss voters on Sunday narrowly backed a ban on full face coverings in public places — a decision hailed by supporters as a bulwark against radical Islam but branded as discriminatory by opponents.
Policies attempting to regulate or ban the niqab — and the more extensive burqa covering — have popped up in a handful of countries across Europe, with France enacting the first public ban in 2010.

“It’s being discussed around the world. I’m a member of the G7 health ministers, we meet every couple weeks. This has been on our agenda,” Patty Hajdu said Sunday
Trump Demands the GOP Stop Using His Name to Fundraise
Sources tell The Hill that Donald Trump’s attorneys have sent cease-and-desist letters Friday to the Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) to stop using his name and image for fundraising.
The three groups are the largest fundraising groups in the Republican Party.
From Trump’s point of view, the letters make perfect sense. Any use of his likeness and name is money in the bank. Better yet, he can use that money to fund his political activities or his personal lifestyle.

Let’s just make carbon illegal.
FUREY: Canadians have a right to have an opinion
When it comes to COVID-19 and government-imposed lockdowns, many Canadians have been dismissed because they’re not a “medical expert.”

What Drives the Global Elite on Their Maniacal Mission
When you consider what has happened in the United States in the last nine months, incredibly, it doesn’t even seem like our own nation anymore. People rioting in the streets during the summer are described by the lamestream media as “peaceful protesters.” District Attorneys let hardened criminals out of jail. Grammar schools indoctrinate our children, teaching them to hate America.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo to Don Lemon: ‘You Know I’m Black on the Inside’
CNN’s anchor Chris Cuomo said, “I’m black on the inside,” during the handover segment with his colleague Don Lemon on Friday, as he cited the words of the theme song from the 1970s program “Good Times.”
Gun Control Is Not About Crime Control
Gun control advocates often talk about “gun violence,” which is the imprecise phase they cleverly use to imply that they are concerned about crime. Sadly, they are not primarily interested in reducing violent crime. If they were primarily concerned about crime, their “solutions” would address criminals and not the possession of firearms by law-abiding citizens.
Outrage as enterprising Girl Scouts are banned by troop leaders from selling cookies outside busy Michigan marijuana dispensary – as store owner immediately buys 300 boxes and blasts organization for crushing the girls’ ‘entrepreneurial spirit’
Girl Scouts in Michigan were forced by troop leaders to stop selling cookies outside of a marijuana dispensary, outraging the store’s owner who accused officials at the youth organization of crushing the girls’ entrepreneurial spirit.
Last weekend, members of the Oakland County Girl Scouts set up shop to sell cookies outside of the Green House of Walled Lake Cannabis store, in the Metro Detroit area, after being given permission by the dispensary’s owner, Jerry Millen.
The move proved to be a raging success, with the group selling more than 1,000 boxes over just a six-hour period.
