BUDAPEST–Thousands of Hungarians, some of them holding banners declaring “Treason,” protested on Saturday against a Chinese university’s plans to open a campus in Budapest. Liberal opponents of nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban accuse him of cozying up to China, and fear the campus could undercut the quality of higher education and help Beijing increase its influence in Hungary and the European Union. “I do not agree with our country’s strengthening feudal relationship with China,” Patrik, a 22-year-old student who declined to give his full name, said at the protest in the Hungarian capital. He said funds should be used “to...

On one side is Nikole Hannah-Jones...creator of the Times’ 1619 Project. She won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for an extended essay, but some of her claims were debunked by historians and her push for rewriting American history is cited as a reason why she should not get tenure. Her chief critic is Walter E. Hussman Jr... As an evangelist for impartial, fair journalism, he is the polar opposite of Hannah-Jones and says he wishes...

It appears that Chinese President Xi Jinping feels the chill.Did it finally dawn on him that other countries got a little ruffled after China unleashed a pandemic on the world and then lied about it? They also got a little touchy when China sent an aircraft carrier task group and warplanes to simulate a siege on their mutual ally, Taiwan, in April and then forced an overhaul of Hong Kong’s electoral system. Perhaps they’re also upset about the human rights abuses against the Uyghurs and, of course, the theft of their valuable intellectual property.And about a thousand other reasons.Chinese state...

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is pleading with parents to vaccinate their teenagers against the coronavirus.

It is no wonder that Yale doesn’t want to risk having any independent members on its Board of Trustees. There are still quite a few sane alumni, and if they got to vote for a candidate of their choice, you never know what might happen.This observation is prompted by the fact that on April 6, Yale’s School of Medicine sponsored a talk by a psychiatrist–God help us!–named Aruna Khilanani, on the topic “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind.” Bari Weiss has audio of the event and a transcript of an interview of Dr. Khilanani by a self-described liberal.Dr. Khilanani...

In a troll worthy of social media insanity, The Daily Wire‘s Matt Walsh launched a fundraising campaign for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ suffering abuela. The grandmother of America’s Wokeheart has been condemned to living in squalor and poverty ever since President Trump forced a hurricane to hit Puerto Rico and then forced their governor to “misplace” millions of dollars in cash and aid just to spite the big, bad orange man.AOC made sure to show us the horrific conditions her abuela has been enduring, and of course, took the opportunity to blame Trump, because it’s been a whole five minutes since someone...

Yesterday, Katie Herzog, writing at Bari Weiss's Substack site, provided a disturbing close-up look at the Critical Race Theory infecting America's medical establishment. Today, Herzog is back with another disturbing story about the anti-White racism permeating American medicine. She focuses on Aruna Khilanani, M.D., a New York–based psychiatrist, who was invited to Yale School of Medicine's Child Study Center to talk about "The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind." Herzog's interview with Khilanani reveals fanatical anti-White racism — which is what Yale sought out.Khilanani is a pure product of decades of Marxism and Critical Race Theory. You can see it...

[Catholic Caucus] 10 Great Quotes on the Holy MassFr. Stefano Manelli of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate (FFI) has received a great deal of attention in recent months. The co-founder and former Minister General of the FFI has seen the order placed under direct control of an assigned commissioner for the Vatican following allegations of internal dissension, as well as a “crypto-lefebvrian and definitely traditionalist drift in the community” (Rorate-Caeli, December 11, 2013). At this time the future of the order, as well as that of its aging founder, is uncertain.What is certain, however, is that Fr. Stefano Manelli...
