It seemed, by the end of the Obama Administration, that America had lost the Cold War and Communism has triumphed because of the almost totalitarian expansion of the central government regulations controlling the economy, education, the media, the Intelligence Community, and health care; but fortunately the American people and traditional American political culture reasserted itself and we just missed walking off the cliff into outer darkness.
The struggle continues, of course, but the tide has turned against the radical left. But as farmers and hunters in this rural Virginia always tell me: “A dying animal is the most dangerous thing there is.” A dying raccoon, bobcat, or even possum, will attack you if you get within 100 yards of it. A dying animal is frightened, desperate, vicious, and has nothing to lose. Liberal Democrats are like a dying possum – ridiculous-looking but deadly. This is because their whole system is collapsing, and they are holding on like a monkey clinging to a slippery tree limb.
With the Georgia runoff election in full swing, this article will show why the ballot results should be ash-canned even before the final tallies are in — both Georgia and Pennsylvania adhere to the federal standard for elections and because Dominion uses modems, the election provider itself is not certifiable.
At the start of the pandemic doctors and other Chinese citizens were reprimanded or legally punished for putting out any information on the pandemic that was not in line with the Chinese government’s narrative that it was under control.
This is a pattern of behaviour from the authoritarian Chinese government not likely to stop unless an outside force puts pressure on them to stop.
Of course, the UN Human Rights Office is not going to do anything substantial about China’s gross abuse of human rights seeing as they simply stated that they were “concerned” by the obvious move to silence those trying to get the truth about the virus to the public.
The statue depicted a formerly enslaved man and was taken down after officials unanimously voted for its removal.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, a Democrat said “After engaging in a public process, it’s clear that residents and visitors to Boston have been uncomfortable with this statue, and its reductive representation of the Black man’s role in the abolitionist movement.”
Are you Woke? It was not too long ago that such a question would have been greeted with a puzzled disdain for its grammatical barbarism. It is now the question of the moment, no longer limited to college campuses as part of the initiation rites to higher learning. In certain political circles, it has already become the code word for being taken seriously on policy questions.
As Mark Pulliam notes in “Slouching Toward Totalitarianism,” the rise of wokeness as a powerful political force has been extraordinarily rapid, “almost overnight.” In a few short years it moved from something living in assorted university departments to a thing being promoted by the public library in Pulliam’s small town in Tennessee. There are no less than three best-selling, widely discussed books pushing the agenda: Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me, Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility, and Ibram X. Kendi’s How to be an Antiracist. Indeed, it is hard to think of any other books on any topic in social policy that have commanded the attention these three books have received in the last few years. How did this happen?
Easily one of the best articles I’ve read about what’s been happening to American society over the last 80 years, and especially the last 4 years.
Biden’s Team Whines That They Won’t Get White House Twitter Followers That Trump Earned and They Didn’t
In a Dec. 23 statement, Biden-Harris transition spokesperson Cameron French told CNN that “Twitter’s reluctance to transfer millions of followers from the Trump Administration to the Biden Administration unnecessarily politicizes what otherwise should be a routine transfer of communication from one administration to the next.”
Insanity Wrap #114: Transgender Propaganda Claims Straight Is Hate
Be straight. Be gay. Be whatever it is you are to the best extent you can manage, and find happiness by being in accordance with what you are.
But if your brain is so divorced from your own chromosomes that you have to play dress-up or either chemically or surgically alter your body in order to find some simulacrum of happiness, then at least have the decency not to demand that the rest of the world play along.
OLIVER: Trudeau’s undermining of democratic traditions advances a socialist agenda
Trudeau’s recent behaviour is not an aberration precipitated by the crisis. Rather, it follows a pattern that started early in his government. Underpinning it is the special appeal left-wing autocrats hold for him, bequeathed by his father.
How many times has David Menzies been assaulted this year?
On a recent episode of our Rebel News Daily Livestream — subscribe to our YouTube channel now to never miss a stream! — David Menzies and Andrew Chapados looked back at the many, many times David was assaulted on the job in the past year.
Of the many attacks, one of the most memorable was the dog bite while documenting the homeless encampment at Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto.
100 apartments in 8 months: How Toronto built housing for the homeless at breakneck speed
In the face of overlapping crises, the city of Toronto has created a fast track to house people experiencing homelessness. As the impacts of the pandemic quickly hit this community harder than others, the city accelerated its efforts to build permanent supportive housing, using modular architecture. Just a few months after the project was launched, the city will have 100 new apartments.
When leftists say they want to silence us, arrest us, re-educate us, and utterly and completely destroy us, they mean it. And as we know all too well, they will use any means necessary.
This is what tyrants do.
And so, as patriots start to converge on Washington, D.C. for Trump’s rally, the left is applying pressure to make it difficult for us to secure accommodations.
The Cultural Revolution targets an insufficiently woke faculty.
Seeming to give credence to Bertrand Russell’s observation that “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts,” yet another campus engulfed in race hysteria has set its sights on administrators and faculty who purportedly have not exhibited sufficient contrition for their racism according to the current moral arbitrators of race awareness.
Decades ago, in a village in Burma, my companion told me of a fear she’d had in the night. “What if they all want to do that?” she asked.
“That” was move to Britain. We had been talking to a waiter who had learned good English and through some connection with previous tourists knew about the outside world in what we might call granular detail. He was particularly impressed with banks that gave out money via holes in the wall. He wanted to escape the repression and poverty of his country and get to London. We gently put him off the idea, which seemed too far-fetched to be realistic.
In 2020, social-media firms suppressed protest, scientific debate and corruption allegations against the powerful.
In this year of lockdown, it is not just our movements, social lives and work that have been restricted. Big Tech has also stepped up its efforts at closing down what we can say and read. Two issues in particular have been central to Silicon Valley’s escalating war on wrongthink: the Covid-19 pandemic and the US presidential elections.
It’s hard now to imagine the time when Twitter’s managing director proudly declared his social-media platform to be ‘the free-speech wing of the free-speech party’.
French fashion designer Pierre Cardin has died aged 98. But why did his clothes became “must have” accessories for British football hooligans in the 1980s?
Tributes have been flooding in for Pierre Cardin, who was among the first to design ‘ready-to-wear’ collections in the late 1950s.
A designer with great business acumen, he became the king of designer merchandising in the 1970s and 80s.
A woke BBC comedian has called out Ricky Gervais for telling insensitive jokes about ‘trans’ people.
Here’s the funny part. The woke BBC comedian — whose name is Frankie Boyle — built his career and his multi-million pound fortune telling jokes about disabled children trying to rape their own mothers and mocking the very ‘trans’ community he now considers sacrosanct.
Sweden’s largest alternative media outlets have claimed that IT giants fully control the infrastructure that people need to make use of their freedom of expression, and called on the government to protect it from digital censorship, amid the public outrage as YouTube deleted a popular channel.
Five of Sweden’s largest alternative media have organised a daily blackout to protest the disappearance of SwebbTV, a popular channel with tens of thousands of subscribers, from YouTube, and published an open letter accusing the government of complicity in censorship by IT giants.
At the start of the year the Chinese government faced two major challenges; an unknown disease which threatened to tear through its population and a wave of voices online telling the world what was happening.
By the end of 2020, a glance at Chinese state-controlled media shows that both appear to be under control.
The BBC’s Kerry Allen and Zhaoyin Feng take a look back at the country’s online government censors who worked harder than ever to supress negative information, the citizens that managed to break through the Great Firewall, and how the propaganda machine re-wrote the narrative.
President Trump’s signature Sunday on the $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill started a 180 day countdown for the Pentagon and spy agencies to say what they know about UFOs.
The provision received very little attention in part because it wasn’t included in the text of the 5,593 page legislation, but as a “committee comment” attached to the annual intelligence authorization act, which was rolled into the massive bill.
Three years ago, I signed up for Ancestry.com’s AncestryDNA service, having been drawn in by the company’s TV ads. You might remember the most famous one, in which a white-appearing woman named Kim burbled about how she’d learned she was 16 per cent Native-American.
