If Austin’s farm fiasco teaches us anything, it’s that the left’s words aren’t harmless — they’re harbingers of dehumanization and violence.In my Oct. 2 article for The Federalist, I detailed a chilling 2,500 percent spike in indexed internet content pairing “Trump” with “fascist” over the past 10 years, with the biggest surge happening since mid-2024. This spike in dangerous rhetoric is evidence of a left-wing effort to dehumanize conservatives as existential threats.From Hillary Clinton likening Trump’s rallies to Nazi gatherings to Kamala Harris branding him a “fascist” threat to democracy, the language has poisoned discourse and, as we’ve seen, inspired...

This is absolutely insane! Bureaucracy run amok, and that’s putting it kindly. Folks, common sense is GONE in America, and this proves it once again. Two first responders from Powell County in Kentucky saved a man’s life after he was bit by a poisonous mamba snake and was advancing towards cardiac arrest. They administered anti-venom that they luckily had brought with them and saved the man who almost certainly would have died without it. The problem? Well, there is no problem if you ask me, but if you ask the red-tape bureaucrats the problem is they didn’t have the necessary...

On June 3, 2020, Emmanuel Cafferty was driving home from his job as an underground line locator for San Diego Gas & Electric, as he always did. On this particular day, he had his left arm hanging out of the window of his work vehicle and cracked his knuckles. Unbeknownst to Cafferty, another motorist snapped a picture and sent it to his employer, claiming Cafferty flashed a "White power" symbol. San Diego Gas & Electric, undoubtedly feeling pressure in the midst of the summer of BLM fired Cafferty. Four months later, Cafferty, who is Mexican, filed a complaint with the...

The Harris-Biden administration’s campaign to censor COVID-related content on Facebook during the height of the pandemic – as revealed by a remorseful Mark Zuckerberg this week – was so aggressive that it even cracked down on lighthearted memes, satirical posts and regular old jokes. On Monday, Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that “senior Biden administration officials, including the White House, “repeatedly pressured” Facebook parent Meta to “censor” pandemic-related content in 2021, as well as The Post’s exclusive reporting on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop. The takedown requests included posts that Zuckerberg considered...

As my PJ Media colleague Catherine Salgado previously reported, Disney and ABC have suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show after his grotesque, politically charged comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk—remarks that not only mocked the tragedy but also peddled lies about the shooter’s ideology.(snip) It was exactly the kind of late-night propaganda that’s driven audiences away in droves, and outraged conservatives flooded social media demanding his firing. Technically, Kimmel hasn’t been fired… yet… but for many, this was still a satisfying development. And in perhaps the most delicious twist of all, it was Roseanne Barr—the woman ABC infamously canceled over...

The Permanent Record: From Empty Threat to Everyday Reality When I was a student back in the 1950s, we used to joke about the phrase “That’s going on your permanent record.” It was a hollow threat from teachers, something said when a kid stepped out of line — broke a rule, said something smart-alecky, or handed in an assignment late. We all laughed quietly to ourselves, because we knew there was no such thing. There was no record, and certainly nothing “permanent.” Today, that joke is no longer funny — because it has come true. We now live in a...

Conservatives have pushed for people who made social media posts celebrating the killing of Republican activist Charlie Kirk to be fired from their jobs, sparking debate about whether they are now embracing the "cancel culture" they once rebuked. … Conservatives have urged that businesses fire individuals who made celebratory posts over his death, fueling questions about free speech and cancel culture…Steve Bannon wrote in a statement to Newsweek, "Fire Them All, and Fire Them Now." Matt Wallace, an influencer with more than 2 million followers on X, wrote on the social media platform last week that his team has gotten...

You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events so they look to their leadership to turn down the temperature,” Bonnell said. “The issue is right now they don’t feel like there is any fear – like, I don’t know

Snoop Dogg says he watched the Disney movie Lightyear with his grandson and had the same question we all had when it came out. He's now in hot water for his opinion. Watch: VIDEO AT LINK............. This came during an interview on the It's Giving podcast. And sure, Snoop hasn't been the best example of a family man with some of his work, but this is a children's movie he's talking about here, not adult entertainment. Remember, this was the woke Toy Story spinoff with the gay kiss that was shoved into a movie by Disney in 2022. And now...

The scale of the effort to “debank” Donald Trump because of pressure from Biden administration regulators went far beyond JPMorgan and Bank of America, The Post has learned. At least 10 other financial institutions closed their windows to the billionaire real estate tycoon over his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill ­melee. The moves came in the months after Trump left the White House in 2021, sources inside the Trump Organization told me. The stunning scale of the blacklisting is being revealed here for the first time. ... It should be reported as much as possible for the simple...

The first UK concert of rock star Marilyn Manson's tour has been cancelled after pressure from campaigners and an MP. The first leg of his One Assassination Under God Tour had been set to kick off at Brighton Centre on 29 October. On Saturday, fans who went online to contact Ticketmaster received a message saying "this event has been cancelled". In January, prosecutors in the US said they would not file charges against Manson, whose legal name is Brian Warner, after a long-running investigation into allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence. The singer has repeatedly denied the accusations. ......

Freedom of speech has supposedly been making an epic comeback, with growing optimism that cancel culture, the steady march to deny free speech rights and the politics of destruction across society, has finally been served a massive rebuke. “How Cancel Culture Collapsed” and “Pendulum Is Swinging Toward Free Speech Online” are just some of the headlines practically declaring victory over this hideous trend and its pernicious influence on our society. After the November elections, where the American people rejected the overreach by the news media, politicians and influencers who attack basic freedoms in pursuit of a narrow agenda to appeal...

In a lengthy essay published in the New York Post, we learn that filmmaker David Zucker was recently asked an inane question at an anniversary screening of his 1980 film “Airplane!” “Could you make ‘Airplane!’ today?” an audience member asked. Zucker’s response was, “Of course, we could. Just without the jokes.” Really? Is there a big market right now for films spoofing the genre of airplane-based disaster flicks from the 1970s?

Former actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman, of Family Ties and Violet fame, said the election of President Trump may be the tipping point for the “woke mob mentality” that terrorize American culture. Speaking with The Irish Times about the state of Hollywood and the downfall of cinema, Bateman discussed a book she had written about beauty standards and how it struck a chord with people who had been chasing plastic surgery. “People are saying perhaps that book was a tipping point – just like this election was a tipping point for the woke mob mentality momentum. Perhaps my book changed...

William Shatner just tweeted the following:“It’s called Presentism and it was used wreak havoc on history several years ago when statues were torn down, books were banned and things renamed to prove how progressive the world had become. Just listen to my opening monologue on Star Trek TOS on Paramount+. They intentionally garbled it on every episode because I say ‘where no man has gone before’ That’s Presentism at its finest hour.”https://x.com/WilliamShatner/status/1909959257753358797
