    Not only Columbia University: the riots against Israel are expanding. More than 100 "pro-Palestinian" rioters were arrested in violent clashes at a number of prestigious universities, including in Texas and California. The long arm of the Muslim Brotherhood: the main organization behind the protests across the USThe riots and storms on campuses in the USA continued over the past day, and far beyond Columbia University. Fierce clashes were recorded at a number of prestigious academic institutions in the USA, including the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Southern California and also at the MIT University near Boston.

  • DENTIST MAKES AN UNSETTLING DISCOVERY IN THE FLOOR OF HIS PARENTS’ NEWLY RENOVATED HOME

    The Debrief ^ | APRIL 23, 2024 | Micah Hanks
    Something about one of the floor tiles in his parents’ newly renovated European home seemed extremely strange. That’s because the man who made the discovery, a dentist, recognized the bizarre, out-of-place object he had just found. The unusual discovery was made when Reddit user Kidipadeli75 noticed a floor tile located in a portion of the home leading out onto a patio area that seemed to have something very strange embedded in it. Naturally, he did what anyone would do in our modern era of internet sleuthing: he posted an image of the oddity online. The curious object in the photo...

    The disgraced Hollywood producer was tried for his past behavior as well as the crimes he was charged with, a key mistake, the appeals court ruled. New York’s highest court has overturned fallen Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein’s rape conviction. In a 4-3 decision, the appeals court ruled Thursday that Weinstein was tried not only for the crimes he was charged with but with his past behavior, and that witnesses were allowed to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. “Under our system of justice, the accused has a right to be held to account only for the...

    “That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees!” – Al Gore There is a chronic lack of civil discourse in Western society in that people have become far less civil and rarely engage in discourse. Driven by the proliferation of bias-confirming social media, people are herded into corners of the internet where views they agree with are amplified and dissent is swiftly marginalized, shouted down, or canceled...
  • Katherine Maher’s Color Revolution - The NPR boss is a symbol of regime change—foreign and domestic.

    City Journal ^ | 24 Apr, 2024 | Christopher F. Rufo
    The Color Revolution is restless. Beginning in the former Soviet republics in the early 2000s, it moved along the coast of North Africa with the so-called Arab Spring in the 2010s, and, into the current decade, has spread further. The ostensible purpose of Color Revolutions—named after the Rose Revolution, Orange Revolution, and Tulip Revolution in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, respectively—is to replace authoritarian regimes with Western liberal democracies. American and European intelligence services are often heavily involved in these revolutions, with ambitions not only to spread modern ideologies but also to undermine geopolitical opponents. The West’s favored methods of supporting...

    American Thinker ^ | 25 Apr, 2024 | J.B. Shurk
    Communist societies have a long history of imprisoning political dissidents in psychiatric wards. One of the more insidious features of Marxism’s manipulation of language is its stigmatization of opposing points of view as some form of mental disorder. Opposition to “gay marriage” is said to be a “sign” of homophobia. Distrusting Islamic terrorists who celebrate 9/11 and shout, “Death to America,” is a “symptom” of Islamophobia. Wanting the federal government to secure our borders and enforce existing immigration law “reveals” underlying xenophobia. Not wanting biological men to force their way into ladies’ locker-rooms and showers suggests that a person “suffers”...

    For a decade, progressive Democrat activities have damaged communities and destroyed lives, but the rich and powerful let it go...right up until it affected them personally. I’ll preface my commentary with the obvious: All of the “mostly peaceful” protests by our “college educated” on campuses nationwide that are clearly pro-Hamas and aimed at Jewish students are wrong, illegal, and all involved should either go back to the classes their parents and taxpayers are funding or be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But why the sudden sanctimonious outrage from the media and pundit class, billionaire donors,...

    "Such an inquiry is needed to protect shareholders, including TMTG’s retail investors," Nunes says. Devin Nunes, CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group, is asking House committee leaders to investigate the potential "unlawful manipulation of DJT stock." In a letter to the committees, Nunes pointed out that DJT [the initials for Donald J. Trump] has appeared every day since April 2 on Nasdaq’s "Reg SHO threshold list," which he said is "indicative of unlawful trading activity." The concern follows Trump Media & Technology Group, whose flagship product is social networking site Truth Social, began being traded late last month...

    As Celebrants we celebrate inclusion and diversity. It is one of the reasons we chose to train as a Celebrant and forms an intrinsic part of our values. Occasionally, when working as a Celebrant, you may be asked to deliver a funeral for a transgender person. This means, the gender the person identifies as is not the same gender they were assigned at birth. While writing and delivering a funeral for a transgender person is no different to the process for any other person, complications can arise when it comes to matters such as pronouns, eulogy wording and supporting...
  • BYD's roofless, no-windscreen, scissor-door supercar: Headed for production

    Chinese electric auto-giant BYD has released a bold supercar concept through its premium Fang Cheng Bao brand. The Super 9 rocks no roof, the barest hint of windscreen, and lascivious scissor doors – and it's apparently headed for production. BYD is the world’s largest EV producer. It produced 20% of the 10 million EVs sold globally last year, from Tesla (13%), Volkswagen (9%) and General Motors (6%) – those are all very rough figures for simplification purposes. For stats – go here. It is also the dominant brand in the world’s largest and fastest growing automotive market, at a time...

    History Facts ^ | 04/24/2024
    The 1960s were some of the most significant years in American history. The decade saw the Civil Rights Movement and a rising counterculture that reimagined the shape of the American social fabric. Pop music exploded like never before with the British Invasion led by the Beatles and Rolling Stones, but the ’60s were also an intense era of war and political violence. AdvertisementThe decade’s most monumental moments tend to be widely covered, and the sheer number of historic events during this time almost create the impression that every moment was imbued with turbulence. But while the tumult of the decade...

    Voting with your feet and fleeing the policies of the Democrat left? Now, there’s a fine for that. When does the tarring and feathering start? You didn’t vote for this garbage, but your useful idiot neighbors did, so now you’ve decided to pack up and head to a state with lighter tax burdens (still a burden, but nonetheless more doable), where the government isn’t prioritizing “trans-ing” your child behind your back and threatening to sever the parental relationship if you get in the way; where prosecutors won’t come after you if you’re forced to defend yourself (or others, as in...

    Nothing an American college student espouses today, would have more than a 24-hour shelf life, in any major Muslim country on the planet – this is the rule. A few conservative and Christian schools may be an exception to the rule, but most liberal Ivy League and graduate schools would come under the rule, in fact they are what prove the rule.

    The director Alex Garland couldn’t have asked for better real-world headlines to accompany the release of Civil War, his new dystopian picture of a United States plunged into civil conflict by the inability of Americans to overcome partisan differences. In recent days, that spirit of irreconcilable enmity has seemingly swept America’s elite campuses, with pro-Palestinian students camping out on the quad in defiance of local authorities—and lawmakers in Washington who long ago cashiered law-making for the important work of skewering university administrators in front of cable-news cameras. The student protest might appear ferocious, and it is, at times, downright ugly....

    Issues & Insights ^ | 23 Apr, 2024 | I & I Editorial Board
    Democrats have already made it clear that they will stop at nothing – nothing – to prevent Donald Trump from winning in November. So, we aren’t surprised to read reports that President Joe Biden might declare a “climate emergency” this year in hopes that it gooses his reelection odds. Never mind that such a declaration would put the U.S. right on the path to a Venezuela-style future. Late last week, Bloomberg reported that “White House officials are weighing whether to declare a national climate emergency several months out from the 2024 election.” Bloomberg goes on to report that: White House...

    On Friday, left-wing talk show host Bill Maher predicted that this year’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) would witness a repeat of the infamous riots that plagued the 1968 gathering. Breitbart reports that Maher, on his HBO show “Real Time,” compared the anti-Vietnam protests of the 1960s to the ongoing anti-Israel protests on college campuses across the country today. The upcoming 2024 DNC will be held in Chicago, the same city that hosted the 1968 DNC. Maher reflected on his memories of the 1968 DNC and the violent protests that overshadowed the convention’s nomination of then-Vice President Hubert Humphrey, saying that...
