RainFurrest 2015 was one for the books. The convention, filled with full-grown adults dressed as bears, wearing diapers and taking drugs, catapulted the often sex-crazed subculture cast into the public eye. It was meant to be an annual convention designed for and by furries. But the debauchery that ensued left animal loving organizers banned from ever holding another event in the city of Seattle after brass at the hotel they defiled spread word about what happened the social gathering. Permanently plastered in the annals of internet history, the event started to go off the rails when someone purposely loosened a...

Americans no longer share sufficient reality to live together. To the left, Charlie Kirk's killer is a hardcore MAGA Christofascist who shot him because the disgusting totally racist misogynist homophobic Kirk was a bit of a pantywaist on the issues. According to the impeccably respectable Reuters, many experts agree:Rachel Kleinfeld, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the symbology found on the bullet casings suggests the shooter had affiliation with the so-called Groyper movement, associated with far-right activist and commentator Nick Fuentes.(Some things are too stupid even for the mainstream press. Reuters subsequently "stealth-edited" their piece...

RUSH: Saturday in Atlanta there was a convention. It was the National Convention of the Democratic Socialists of America. Now, this is truly a fringe group. This is a fringe Democrat group that’s actually mainstream. This is a group that embodies quite a few young and middle-aged disaffected and completely abnormal people who cannot find a way to fit in. And I think, by the way, that accurately describes quite a large segment of the Democrat base, if you want to get right down to it. I think it’s a lot of people that just can’t find a way to...

A who;e lot of far left crazies in high positions are getting FIRED over crazy posts online rejoicing over Charlie’s assassination. Good news for humanity.

Illinois started to provide standard driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants last year. Gov. JB Pritzker has now signed a bill into law to allow them to become driving instructors. In 2013, Illinois led the country as one of the first states to issue temporary visitor driver's licenses to help drivers who passed road tests regardless of immigration status. The 2024 law allowed undocumented immigrants to receive standard IDs without the large purple mark stating not valid for identification. House Bill 3125 will allow anyone with a TVDL for at least two years to teach driving courses. Sponsors said this change...

Desperate to win back male voters, Democrat strategists propose bold new ideas. Will they work, or backfire spectacularly? Transcript linked below video, but the video is worth the four minutes it takes to watch it.

The woman found not guilty by reason of insanity after running over a Chicago police officer with his own squad car is now asking the court to let her start anew—by changing her name. Whitley Temple, who was acquitted last year of attempting to murder Officer Ed Poppish during a bizarre 2022 West Side encounter, filed a petition on July 11 to legally change her first name to “Michelle,” according to Cook County court records. Temple fled the scene in the patrol car, briefly stopped at a gas station, then continued onto the Eisenhower Expressway, reaching speeds of 97 mph...

Former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo shockingly conceded to upstart democratic socialist Zohrab Mamdani in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary Election for the next mayor of New York City.

In a rambling, conspiratorial letter addressed to the FBI, alleged assassin Vance Boelter claimed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar so that Walz could run for the U.S. Senate, according to two people familiar with the contents of the letter. The letter is the clearest evidence yet of Boelter’s mindset after the targeted violence against Minnesota politicians last week. It is incoherent, one and a half pages long, confusing and hard to read, according to two people familiar with the letter’s contents. It includes Boelter alleging he had been trained by the U.S. military...

The commissioner's stated goal is to have 50% of Maine Game Warden jobs filled by women, whether or not they are qualified, and whether or not they can perform their work up to the standards of the Maine Warden Service.

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson England is done for. A man was confronted by police for saying “speak English” to someone who mumbled. They’re labeled it as hate crime. Total insanity. From End Wokeness 11:25 PM · Apr 16, 2025

A federal judge said the Trump administration must lift their freeze on federal funding to Maine. The ruling reads that the USDA "must immediately unfreeze and release to the state of Maine any federal funding that they have frozen or failed or refused to pay because of the state of Maine's alleged failure to comply with the requirements of Title IX." The administration is also "barred from freezing, terminating, or otherwise interfering with the state of Maine's future federal funding for alleged violations of Title IX without complying with the legally required procedure." The USDA announced the funding freeze and...

Author JK Rowling has described the decision to kick a toddler out of nursery after they were accused of transphobia or homophobia as “totalitarian insanity”. The child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school three years ago for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity,” Department for Education data revealed this week. Details of the specific school or the case during the 2022/23 academic term were not disclosed by the DfE. However, it appears that this is not an isolated case. Retweeting a MailOnline article about the case, the Harry Potter author wrote: “This is totalitarian...

That's where they think their right to rule us comes from. “A superiority complex is a defense mechanism that develops to help a person cope with feelings of inferiority. It involves exaggerated beliefs about one’s own achievements or abilities leading to behaviors such as being boastful, vain, or unwilling to listen to others. The term was coined by Alfred Adler as part of his school of individual psychology.” (Wikipedia) The above definition describes former President Joe Biden to a tee. In fact, it describes his entire family. It describes his entire circle of pals, that cabal that lied to the...

A bite-sized chunk of my big-picture piece from Quadrant has now been excerpted in Australia's national newspaper, The Australian: The biggest story of our time is that the entirety of the western world is sliding off the cliff – and most citizens of the west are not even aware of it, and have no desire to be made aware of it. In that respect, I envy them. It is comforting to paddle one's canoe and insist that the ever louder roaring sound from up ahead is the crowd at a Taylor Swift gig and not Niagara Falls. To be sure,...

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston wants to add a 20% service charge to local restaurant tabs — and then tax it — to help restaurants cope with the city’s minimum wage and promote what he called pay equity among tipped and non-tipped employees. On Monday, Johnston told City Cast Denver, a popular podcast, that he has already been discussing the idea with restaurant owners. He didn’t say whether they are on board. He also did not discuss if increasing people's dinner costs would decrease restaurant visits. Johnston has incurred the ire of some local restauranteurs, who this month penned a letter...
