    In an incident that exhibits the growing tensions between genderqueer theory and objective morality rooted in Christian beliefs in our society, Victoria Culf, a Christian artist in Britain, has initiated legal proceedings against Watford Borough Council. This legal action follows a series of events that began with a casual conversation about transgender ideology, leading to Culf being barred from her own art exhibition and being reported to the police for alleged hate speech. According to an article in Christian Concern, this case highlights significant concerns regarding freedom of speech and the expression of religious beliefs. According to Christian Concern, Culf’s...

    Another step towards implementing a Social Credit system.. Financial privacy is a right under the constitution, as is free speech. Under the guise of “credit review”, Stripe is now rolling out a requirement that appears to target conservative or "anti-vax" Substack authors. Stripe is requiring that these authors provide all of their current and historic financial records associated with the bank account into which Stripe deposits Substack subscriber payments (after taking 10% off the top for Substack and 3% for Stripe). Stripe already has information concerning this bank account (including deposits from Stripe), as we have been doing business with...

    President Joe Biden told reporters on Friday that Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer's (D., N.Y.) call for Israelis to vote out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came in "a good speech." "Sen. Schumer contacted my staff, my senior staff, he was gonna make that speech. I'm not going to elaborate on the speech," Biden told reporters in the Oval Office. "He made a good speech, and I think he expressed a serious concern shared not only by him, but by many Americans." Schumer in the Thursday speech on the Senate floor said Netanyahu was "stuck in the past" and that he...
  • Oh Canada: Parliament Moves To Impose Potential Life Imprisonment For Speech Crimes

    Jonathan Turley ^ | 03/15/2024
    We have previously discussed the unrelenting attacks by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his allies on free speech. There has been a steady criminalization of speech, including even jokes and religious speech, in Canada. Now, the Canadian parliament is moving toward a new change that would allow the imposition of life imprisonment on those who post views deemed supportive of genocide. With a growing movement calling Israel’s war in Gaza “genocide,” the potential scope of such a law is readily apparent. That appears to be its very draw for anti-free speech advocates in the country.The Online Harms Act, or...

    Free speech advocates around the world railed against a new Canadian law that could demand a life sentence for adults who violate speech laws on social media. Introduced last month, the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, would empower judges to imprison adults for life if they post views supportive of genocide. The bill would increase the maximum penalty for advocating genocide from five years to life imprisonment and from two years to five years, on indictment, for the willful promotion of hatred. Advocates of the bill say it will make online platforms safer. However, critics called the law "totalitarian"...

    A proposed law in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canada will reportedly allow judges to throw adults in jail for life if they advocate for genocide online.Fox News reported Thursday that the Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) would permit life sentences. The article also said, “The law would also allow a provincial judge to impose house arrest and a fine if there were reasonable grounds to believe a defendant ‘will commit’ an offense.”After Justice Minister Arif Virani introduced the bill, he said that in his role as a father, he was frightened of the dangers children might encounter online.Virani also said...

    A Belgian court has sentenced an activist to one year in prison for running an organization that allegedly spreads “racist, hateful, Nazi and negationist speech.” According to POLITICO, a judge said 30-year-old Dries Van Langenhove “revelled in Nazi ideas that cause much suffering.” “Dries Van Langenhove, a political activist and leader of a Flemish-nationalist youth movement called Schild & Vrienden, was convicted of inciting violence and denying the Holocaust, the Ghent criminal court ruled Tuesday morning,” the outlet reports. “Former Flemish parliamentarian Dries Van Langenhove has just been sentenced to 1 year IN PRISON because supposedly ‘racist memes’ were shared...

    resident Biden’s State of the Union speech was trashed by prominent political pundits for its political nature, with some likening it to more of a campaign speech than an overview of the state of the country. "Attacking his opponent directly in the first minutes of his speech is unprecedented and perhaps the most partisan start to a State of the Union address in modern memory," AEI Senior Fellow and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush Marc Thiessen wrote on X during Biden’s Thursday night speech. Biden criticized former President Donald Trump several times during his speech. "This man should...

    Back due to popular demand and “tremendous success – beating All Records” last year, President Trump is providing another play-by-play of Biden’s State of The Union Address tomorrow. Biden will address a Joint Session of Congress at the United States Capitol tomorrow at 9 PM ET. The Gateway Pundit reported on Trump’s response last year, where he slammed Joe Biden for allowing “millions and millions of illegal aliens from 160 different countries” to storm across our southern border and drug cartels to make record profits off of human and drug trafficking and killing the American people. Trump also slammed Biden...

    Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) slammed former President Trump’s Thursday speech at the southern border as “disgusting” and “racist.” Murphy, a member of President Biden’s campaign advisory board, ripped Trump’s remarks given during an Eagle Pass, Texas, visit, calling them “xenophobic,” and went after the former president for his role in tanking bipartisan legislation that included border provisions last month. “I just think it’s disgusting,” Murphy said during an appearance on “CNN News Central” on Friday, when anchor John Berman asked him about Trump’s speech. “I think it’s racist and xenophobic.” Trump visited the southern border Thursday, touring the area with...

    MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade argued Monday that the United States’ “deep commitment to free speech” makes Americans uniquely susceptible to disinformation campaigns. McQuade, a University of Michigan law professor, went on “The Rachel Maddow Show” to promote her new book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America.” She said her “goal” with the book was to spark a “national conversation about truth and our commitment to it.” She added, “I hope that by dissecting it, explaining it, and educating the public, we can all see disinformation for what it is so that we can begin to push back...

    American Thinker ^ | 02/22/2024 | Andrea Widburg
    The current debate in American politics is a sad one. It’s called “Your candidate is more senile than mine.” However, much as leftists (plus Nikki Haley) try to say that Donald Trump shows the same cognitive decline as Joe Biden, anyone can see that this isn’t true. Trump is the same as he ever was; Joe Biden is being held together by duct tape (or, in his case, carefully edited videotape). When it comes to Donald Trump, what you see is what you get…and what you’ve always gotten. He is the modern equivalent of Oliver Cromwell’s instruction to Sir Peter...

Most importantly, Benz, the executive...
