Daniell Rider, a Hobby Lobby consumer, found a decoration at one of their stores so offensive, she shared the image on Facebook requesting that they remove the decor from their shelves. What was it?

A groundbreaking report out of the UK has found an "unambiguous" association between anti-Israel and anti-Semitic views. Of people who are strongly anti-Israel, 74 percent also hold at least one anti-Semitic attitude, found the report, "Anti-Semitism in contemporary Great Britain: A study of attitudes towards Jews and Israel." Though the link between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism has been frequently reported on by the media, the joint Institute for Jewish Policy Research and Community Security Trust study claims to be the first "robust empirical documentation of the association between these two attitudes in Britain." Over half the general British population hold at...

Islamic Jew-hatred – it’s in the Quran. So why wouldn’t the people Ellison hires be Jew-haters, too? Rep. Keith Ellison’s (D., Minn.) press secretary sparked a Twitter spat Thursday after describing a prominent Jewish reporter as looking like an “anti-Semitic caricature.” Isaiah Breen, Ellison’s press secretary, took to Twitter Thursday afternoon to jokingly claim he was fired from his position for publicly mocking two Jewish reporters, Bloomberg View’s Eli Lake and Daily Beast contributor Jamie Kirchick. Breen, from his personal Twitter account, wrote, “To be clear, keith fired me with prejudice after i said jamie kirchik and eli lake remind...

The birth of a child is possibly life’s greatest and most beautiful blessing. Unfortunately, for some people, it’s also an occasion to spew venom. This morning, Eric and Lara Trump welcomed their first child, a son, into the world: And scumbags wasted no time flinging their crap. Here’s just a sample of the hate thrown at the proud father — and, even more sickeningly — at the innocent child:

Social justice advocates, licensed social workers, an organizations are sharing a “racism scale” claiming that unless white people are willing to risk their safety and freedom for minorities, they're apparently racists. The “racism scale” Weebly page, created by social justice activist and Represent Maryland PAC chapter leader Cristi Demnowicz, allegedly helps people “identify” their own biases and “help[s] others explore theirs.” The scale, which has five different iterations, asks readers where they “fall” on a scale of racism. In the most recent version, people can fall anywhere on a scale from “terrorism,” “overt racism,” “subconscious racism,” “indifference,” and “allyship” and...

Here’s How We’d Have Dealt With This Colin Kaepernick is having a rough year. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback turned “social justice warrior” gained attention last season for protesting America by refusing to stand for the national anthem… and now he seems to be perpetually out of a job. To add insult to injury, a far more famous football player just had some harsh criticism for Kaepernick. NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl IX MVP Franco Harris spoke out about situation over the weekend, and explained how a team would deal with someone like Kaepernick back in the...

George Clooney’s “Suburbicon” has a timely subplot — based both on present times and a 1957 incident — about racism in white America. That subplot, however, resounded deeply during the Venice Film Festival press conference for the film, which stars Matt Damon and Julianne Moore. “I was watching a lot of speeches on the campaign trail about building fences and scapegoating minorities and I started looking around at other times in our history when we’ve unfortunately fallen back into these things,” said Clooney, talking about how the pic germinated. While casting around for story ideas, Clooney found a 1957 incident...

Mayor of Berkeley Jesse Arreguin on Monday said it is time to confront the violent extremism on the left by treating black-clad Antifa protesters as a gang. A large number of masked Antifa activists were seen jumping the barriers at a largely peaceful demonstration in Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Civic Center Park on Sunday. Some began attacking Trump supporters at the rally. “I think we should classify them as a gang,” said Arreguin. “They come dressed in uniforms. They have weapons, almost like a militia and I think we need to think about that in terms of our law enforcement...

The March to DC from Charlottesville, Va., started with nearly 200 marchers Monday, but by Tuesday morning there were only 35 marchers. “Over 200 people came together today to take a stand against bigotry and hate,” march organizers said on Twitter. “We’re marching from #Cville2DC. Join us: cville2dc.us.” The overnight rains were enough to keep all but “about 35” from marching Monday morning, the day after the pep talk when police escorted the group from Emancipation Park downtown Sunday. “We have started the day!” the group tweeted shortly after 10:00am. “We have about 35 folks marching against white supremacy.” Despite...
