    The College Fix ^ | November 23, 2015 | Jason Weaver, University of Michigan
    More than 30 “White Student Union” pages have recently sprung up over the last several days on Facebook, pages that affiliate themselves with various universities around the nation. The creation of an “Illini White Student Union” Facebook page that surfaced Nov. 18 in response to a “Black Student Solidarity Rally” at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign gained national attention, but apparently it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Over the last week, at least 33 other “White Student Union” pages have appeared on Facebook, according to research conducted Sunday by The College Fix. Notably, “White Student Union” Facebook pages...

    Catholic Church Paid Millions in Dollars to Facilitate Immigrant Invasion in U.S. By Julio Severo The biggest beneficiaries of the immigrant invasion in the U.S. have been Islam -- and the Catholic Church, according to a Catholic writer. If he is right about the major involvement of the Catholic Church in the immigrant invasion in the U.S., his report could be an important clue for his fellow Catholics to understand the Islamic invasion in Europe. Though the Islamic gain is obvious, especially in demographic and religious expansion in Europe and America, the Catholic gain, which has been not so...
  • UMass-Amherst Protesters Demand New College Seal Because Bows and Arrows are Racist

    UMass-Amherst students are protesting their school's seal, claiming it promotes racism and violence, because it depicts a Native American holding a bow and an arrow. While the seal does depict an arm holding a sword, protesters have taken issue with the Native American man centered in the logo. The Indian can be seen standing in the center: "We do live in occupied, colonized land," said student organizer Charlotte Kelly, who called the logo "offensive." She continued, "This land had been a part of indigenous communities before it became the University of Massachusetts. And for us to be capitalizing and using...
  • If Trump lied about 9/11 celebrations in NJ, why did WaPo report in 2001 that it happened?

    Another "fact checker" facepalm. Hat tips here to Allahpundit and John Hindraker. You’ve probably heard today some variation the idea that “fact checkers are shredding Donald Trump’s story” about having seen people in New Jersey celebrating 9/11. This is one of these stories that liberals claim has been “debunked” because a conservative says it happened and they can’t independently confirm it. It must be a lie! Or, maybe, possibly, these liberal “fact checkers” are just not very good at their jobs. Powerline Blog’s Hindraker noted that after the dinosaur media announced their inability to confirm Trump’s tale, he thought he’d...

    The ground effort to destroy Donald Trump begins today in Ohio where several GOPe operatives and advance teams have been positioned to drum up antagonistic protesters and coordinate activity aimed to target Trump. In addition Matt David, the spokesperson for the Kasich Super-PAC “New Day for America”, is now publicly reporting that both Team [Jeb] Bush and Team Rubio donors have pledged financial support to the effort to tear down front runner Donald Trump. The upper echelons within the Wall Street financially-dependent corporate media have also held their meeting to coordinate how they will distribute and promote the anti-Trump narrative....

    From Avis Facebook, new statement. Guess they Varsity team took over. (much better statement) We have investigated the denial of a rental that recently occurred in Manhattan. We have found that we have been inconsistent in applying our policies with respect to documentation requirements with this customer, who has rented from us in the past without providing a second form of identification. We are committed to providing an outstanding car rental experience to our customers and believe that we should have done better here. We have spoken with the customer and apologized for the misunderstanding that occurred as a result...
  • Obama declares Islamophobia a felony hate crime | Satire?

    Dan Miller's Blog ^ | November 23, 2015 | Dan Miller
    Phobia is an abnormal, irrational fear. As now defined, however, Islamophobia is merely "prejudice against, hatred towards, or fear of the religion of Islam or Muslims." Rational "Prejudice," "hatred" and "fear" of Islam are, therefore, now Islamophobic.Obama often proclaims that there is no reason to fear Islam --  the religion of truth and love -- and that He welcomes it in His America. It is permissible, indeed even patriotic, to fear and oppose the Non-Islamic Islamic State, but to fear and to oppose Islam runs counter to American values and is, therefore, worse than merely vile. By virtue of His constitutional...

    A week and a half ago fascist thugs of ISIS attacked Paris. Three days later President Obama addressed the world from Istanbul and said the attack was "an attack on all of humanity and the universal values we share." That is a wonderful sentiment, but like most things that come out of Barack Obama's mouth, it's wrong. There are not universal values. Take freedom of speech. Across the planet, from China to Saudi Arabia to Russia to Venezuela, (and most places in between) nothing resembling freedom of speech such freedom exists. In the West, from Australia to England to Italy...

    The American people complain of having no one to take the reins of leadership against the army of Socialist Progressive Liberal politicians and biased Media moguls who are destroying our way of life. Well you may not like his arrogance, his hair, his swagger, his tone, his brashness, insulting remarks or something else about him. But one must be impressed with his power of conviction and willingness to express it, political correctness be hanged. His name is Donald Trump. A strong man, a non-politician who owes nobody anything and promises he will bring America back to strength, world leadership and...

    Canada Free Press ^ | 11/23/15 | Judi McLeod
    “We can’t completely ensure the safety of the external part" Were it not for the blatant hypocrisy, it would be laughable that France is pledging “100% security within climate conference walls” for the United Nations COP21 event in Paris, being held in the aftermath of the November 13 terrorist attacks. Why would ISIS descend upon the Global Warming Poohbahs of 195 nations when their leaders have already sent out the capital letter-message that it is definitely global warming—and not Islamic terrorism—that is the world’s biggest threat? For a rampaging ISIS, no other message could possibly be as explicit as that...

    The Intellectual Conservative ^ | 11/23/15 | Mark Musser
    In the opening chapters of “Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning,” Yale professor Timothy Snyder forcefully acknowledged what he calls the “ecological” Anti-Semitism of the Fuhrer, “An instructive account of the mass murder of the Jews of Europe must be planetary, because Hitler’s thought was ecological, treating Jews as a wound of nature.” In spite of such an assertion, however, the great caveat of Snyder’s book is he inexplicably fails to discuss the Nazi ecological historical record that should have informed his thesis ...

That’s a rhetorical question of course, as we all know that early 21st century “fact checkers” are nothing more than conveyor belts of talking points set up to further advance the narrative.John Hindracker documents a day in the life of Washington Post fact checker  Glenn Kessler (here) who dismissed The Donald’s statement that on 9/11, “thousands and thousands” of American Muslims in Jersey City celebrated the successful terrorist attacks. Fact Checker Kessler calls the claim “outrageous” and wrote:  Trump says that he saw this with...

No matter what the mayor and his pet police commissioner says, the NYPD is bracing for a terrorist attack. After 9/11, the sight of heavily armed police officers became the new normal in New York. It's the new normal in gun-free Europe where the capital cities of the continent fall are locked down and the people are told to stay away from the windows. It's just life. Growing up, just...

    President Obama thinks Republicans are scared of the Islamic State.  We are not.  But we’re terrified of Obama’s policies, the New York Times editorial board and the liberal narrative they are spouting. The president said the Islamic State "can't beat us on the battlefield so they try to terrorize us into being afraid."  The Left’s response to being bullied to is be foolhardy, call Republicans fear-mongers, and deny responsibility for the entire situation. The New York Times editorial board took Obama’s side Sunday, in a piece titled “The Price of Fear.” History will always be kinder to those who are...
