Credit to ChicagoConservative27 for a post that helped me put together an idea that's been on my mind for quite a while now. The agenda of the Left includes the following items of their neo-religious dogma and their followers slavishly enforce these beliefs and they REEEEEEE!!! at anyone who won't bow down before them. I pose that the Left as a body is being duped and used by the Malthusian Zero Population Growth and Human Extinction (I'll call them ZPGHE for short) movements and their every social or political act supports these two tightly related movements. 1. Birth Control is...

Northwestern is averaging just 17,500 fans per game this season, by far the lowest mark in the Big Ten. For reference, Penn State’s Beaver Stadium has a capacity of 106,572, more than six times higher than Northwestern’s average...

Saifullah Khan was kicked out of Yale in 2019 after he had been both accused of rape and acquitted in 2018. He is now suing the school and his accuser for defamation of character. The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that his accuser, a fellow student, does not have "qualified immunity" for her unpersuasive testimony in a school hearing that Khan raped her after a 2015 Halloween party. Yale University President Peter Salovey denied he was directly involved in the matter, but admitted that "it seems odd that the university expelled Mr. Khan after he was acquitted. Before he was...

Pope Francis on Imperialism: Is Russia a Special Case?A month after Pope Francis spoke in favorable terms about Russia’s imperial past, the diplomatic ramifications still reverberate.

Ambassadors to the Holy See get two meetings with the pope, both pro forma — one when they present...

During remarks this week, Joe Biden demanded that people stop saying “inflammatory things” about COVID vaccinations and essentially telling people to follow what his administration is telling them to do. “What leaders say matters in terms of people’s confidence in things they’re not sure about,” Biden began. He continued: “And one of those areas — you saw what happened with regard to the crisis — health crisis that we had that cost us — we lost well over a million people,” Biden continued. “And as time began to move on, you had more and more voices saying, “No, no, no....

Fox News personality Dana Perino — who served as one of three co-moderators during the second Republican primary debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, Wednesday — came under fire after interjecting during the debate, seemingly going to bat for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley by thanking her husband for his military service — a possible retort to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. During the debate, Perino told the candidates they were “auditioning for the job as president of the United States” and noted that the “world’s problems land in the Oval Office.” “During the presidential...

Video on social media also suggested that culprits made off with a Wells Fargo ATM, but...

Fool's Ball Week 4!!!!!!!!!! Your home for all things Fool's Ball! In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

In a stunning reversal of fortune on the football field, the "Ukrainians" face off against the "Russians" with just three minutes left in the final quarter, trailing behind with a score of "Russians 45, Ukrainians 0." The "Russians" have made some touchdowns in the game, but their display of incompetence has left the door wide open for a historic comeback by the "Ukrainians." Throughout the game, the "Russians" have committed a litany of errors that border on the absurd. Their quarterback seems unable to find his targets, often sending passes into the hands of surprised "Ukrainian" defenders. The "Russians" offensive...
