~As you know, in three weeks' time my suit against the UK media censor Ofcom comes to the High Court of England: The King on the application of Mark Steyn vs The Office of Communications I'll be there. Not sure if the King will. Day on day, Ofcom's enforcement of the Covid-vaccine narrative looks increasingly not only preposterous but blood-soaked. Yet, in the so-called controlled demolition of the entire western world, it's the small things that get you. Just about the only reason I was looking forward to my court date was that, after a month in the dank septic...

Courts in England are reportedly looking to scrap the requirement for barristers to wear traditional wigs amid claims that they discriminate against lawyers with “Afro-Caribbean hair”. The iconic manner of dress in English courtrooms may become wokism’s latest scalp as demands have been made to abandon the requirement of barristers to wear wigs in front of the court because they are “culturally insensitive”, The Telegraph reports.

Three thieves ransacked a Los Angeles area wig shop that caters to cancer patients, stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of hairpieces in an early morning burglary within minutes on Tuesday. The Wig Fairy, a boutique in Beverly Hills that specializes in high-quality, human hair wigs for women suffering from hair loss, was broken into, the store announced. The thieves, who cops believe are women wearing hoodies and face masks, were caught on surveillance camera shattering the front glass door using poles and rocks around 3:30 a.m. According to security footage, the thieves carelessly ripped the wigs off the...

The DUP’s Jim Wells has revealed a possible shift in his party’s position on a “Northern Ireland-only backstop” agreement. Should it become official DUP policy, Wells’s revelation would mean the DUP has effectively accepted the backstop agreement. This is something it said it would never do. His revelation came in a pre-recording of Stephen Nolan’s Top Table that goes out on BBC1 this evening, and in response to a statement from the host that “we would be living to EU rules, Jim”. Shocking This is particularly shocking as the DUP has consistently opposed the backstop and “’special status’ for Northern...

The mane mystery surrounding Michelle Obama Baldgate 2015 might be solved: the first lady’s hair was reportedly just pulled back during her appearance on “Jeopardy!”

A man was robbed and severely beaten by a group of seven to 10 people – including two women – after one of the women apparently set him up, police say. The 23-year-old victim was bruised and covered in blood when he flagged down a Riviera Beach cop around 5 a.m. Friday, according to a city police arrest report. He said he'd been pistol-whipped, hit and kicked all over his body after driving to a house to meet a woman he knew only as "Shia" and had met once before.

About 15 tons of it on a recent day, imported from China, neatly pressed into mats and ready to ship to farmers and nursery growers who swear by the horticultural benefits of Blacker's hairy wares. The mats stored in southern Miami-Dade County are part of a world marketplace for human hair. Uses range from the obvious, such as false eyelashes and wigs, to the more obscure: it's a common raw-material source for l-cysteine, an amino acid frequently used in baked goods such as pizza dough and bagels

"If you have any creature in the house with a head bigger than a walnut (including boyfriends), you need a Kitty Wig™."

A haredi journalist explains what it’s like to cover her hair with a so-called custom wig “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” – that’s what I like to call secular-haredi discussions. I meet all kinds of people on a regular basis, but as far as I’m concerned, secular-haredi dialogues are about as strange as they get. Because when it comes down to it, we can be neighbors; we can drive on the same streets; and we can listen to the same newscasts. But - no matter what - the culture divide continues to loom mightily. Whenever I meet secular Israelis,...

'Wigged out' students caught cheating Mon Jul 10, 5:41 PM ET HANOI, Vietnam - More than 20 desperate students in Vietnam paid up to 50 million dong ($3,125) to don elaborately wired wigs and shirts that allowed them to cheat on their college entrance exams, police said Monday. During a weekend raid, Hanoi police confiscated 50 mobile phones, 60 earphones, 150 SIM cards, eight shirts and five wigs, an officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Ring leader Nguyen Hong Hai, 39, told police that more than 20 students paid 20...

Celine Schonberger, 19, wears an approved wig at a store in Brooklyn. Some Orthodox rabbis have barred human-hair wigs from India. Synthetic wigs flew off the shelves yesterday at Yaffa's Quality Wigs in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn. On the crowded streets of the neighborhood, an increasing number of Orthodox Jewish women were seen wearing cloth head coverings, having left their wigs at home. Sarah Klein, a neighborhood resident, said that until the confusion was cleared up, she would leave the house only if she wore a baglike snood. For thousands of Orthodox women, one of the most...
