NOTABLE QUOTES

Sundance contributor to The Last Refuge: Anyone who is saying President Trump did not have the unilateral right to define his presidential records -as he sees fit- needs to answer this question: Who is this power that supersedes the executive office of the President? And where are they outlined in the constitution?

GianCarlo Canaparo senior legal fellow in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation: Administrative rule is America’s system of government. We were a republic once, but our representatives didn’t like the pressure of governing, so they foisted the responsibility onto a massive bureaucracy. How massive? Nobody knows exactly how many agencies there are. And nobody has a clue how many rules and regulations they administer. 

Insurrection Barbie Tweet: We don’t have a two tiered justice. We have a police state run by people like Soros who have purchased judges, prosecutors, DAs and terrorist activist groups that have brought the entire American system of jurisprudence down on their knees.

Rabbi Michael Barclay contributor to PJMedia: May we all have the courage to stand for what we believe, support others with shared values in their journey, and act with alacrity and integrity.

Glenn Beck: There is a powerful technique called the Overton Window that can shape our lives, our laws, and our future. It works by manipulating public perception so that ideas previously thought of as radical begin to seem acceptable over time. Move the Window and you change the debate. Change the debate and you change the country.

Dennis Prager: Leftism is the attempt to destroy the past — every value and every institution, the good as well as what it regards as the bad. That is why leftists, by definition, hate conservatism. Conservatism seeks to conserve the best from the past. The Left seeks to destroy the past, including the best.

John Cohen ontributor to The American Mind: We must recognize that corporations have become the agents of radicals and, ironically, willing participants in the demise of the very systems that made them prosperous. It’s high time we fight back, and corporate philanthropy should be in our crosshairs.

Alex Berenson Substack: This weekend, Joe Rogan offered to donate $100,000 to charity if Dr. Peter Hotez, a loud vaccine supporter, would debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., probably the most prominent vaccine skeptic, on his podcast. Rogan’s challenge generated national and even international attention. But Hotez wouldn’t touch it, even after other people added pledges and the charity pool rose over $1 million. This morning, he whined that debating Kennedy was beneath him. “One typically doesn’t debate science,” Hotez said. One doesn’t?

Karine Jean-Pierre WH Press Secretary: “This is a historic administration. I’m a historic figure, and I certainly walk in history every day.”

Kevin Roberts & Delano Squires The Heritage Foundation: Men need purpose they are willing to both live and die for. The responsibilities that come with a family give them both.

Adam Ellwanger contributor to The American Mind: Pride Month, perhaps, is too ridiculous to be satanic. But its name, coupled with its unmistakable religious overtones (embodied in the sacralization of the self), demonstrate a few things. First, contrary to the protests of the Left, the new secular ethic is not opposed to Christian ideas of the good. It is simply a perversion of them. Without an anchor in notions of self-sacrifice and metaphysical transcendence, the entire house of cards now threatens to collapse. Second, it shows the solipsism and tautological nature of the pride at the heart of Pride Month. In its fetishization of the suffering self, stripped of any imperative of selflessness, it reminds us again why pride represented the cardinal sin.

Brandon Showalter documentary film maker & investigative journalist:  “In the transgender sphere, calling someone by their ‘dead name’ means referring to them by their birth name, not their newly chosen name. Their self-selected name is often the first step in the trans-identification process. Parents of transgender-identifying children are usually pained to hear that the name they chose for their child is ‘dead.’ Filmmaker Taylor Reece titled the documentary this way because it is emblematic of the entire spectrum of problems parents face. After a name change, a trans-identifying child starts to blot out their entire identity. After that, experimental drugs and body-altering surgeries usually follow.”

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Tweet: Julie Kelly Senior Writer American Greatness Twitter Thread: Just a reminder how this whole thing started. William Bosanko. the very self-important CEO of NARA, told House Intel what triggered their inquiry into missing presidential records was the fact Trump didn’t give them the transition letter from Obama and letter from Kim Jong Un. Incredible. Bosanko then claimed there was a list of missing items. When pressed by Rep. Stefanik for the list, he said there wasn’t one. Kept referring to 2 letters Bosanko also tried to evade answering questions about specificity of “missing” Trump records. DOJ “put him on notice” that the matter was under investigation: . . Bosanko uses the ruse of Obama/Kim letters to warn Team Trump they are violating PRA.  Instead of telling NARA to pound sand, the very uncooperative Team Trump hands over 15 boxes to NARA. Bosanko then claims to have found classified material.

Refers matter to DOJ thru IG. He then admits it is the FIRST TIME he’s referred a former president (my guess is first time ever) to DOJ for a criminal investigation. Of course he did so for Biden and Pence as a CYA. After admitting Trump probably did not pack the boxes (no duh) and it’s a rush job after a defeat, Bosanko says he wasn’t notified the boxes contained classified documents. Because they either weren’t (which I am assuming) or Team Trump didn’t know either. How is this a crime?

abuseofpower.org: Jack Smith is ‘Very Dangerous’ Trump and Renzi Prosecutors Are Not To Be Trusted

Prosecutorial Misconduct by Asst. U.S. Attorney Gary Restaino and Public Integrity Chief, Jack Smith in the Case of Former Congressman Renzi-  Factual Findings and Sanctions by the Court against Gary Restaino clearly established that he “deliberately and with foreknowledge repeatedly engaged in corrupt and illegal acts during the investigation and prosecution of Mr. Renzi, proving irrefutable that Congressman Renzi’s trial was fundamentally unfair and that his convictions were fraudulently obtained and are without merit. Gary Restaino cheated before, during and after Renzi’s trial” said Kelly Kramer, Esq.

Turley: Harvard Poll: 55 Percent of the Public View the Trump Indictment as “Politically Motivated”

A Harvard/Harris poll is bad news for Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Justice Department. The poll shows that 55% of Americans believe Trump’s indictment is politically motivated and 56%  believe that it constitutes election interference.  The poll captures the level of distrust for the Justice Department and further demonstrates what I described yesterday as the failure of Merrick Garland at the midpoint of his tenure as Attorney General. The view of the case appears to be worsening. Now there is less than a majority viewing the indictment as well-founded and justified. The poll shows that 83% of Republicans and 55% of Independents view the indictment as a political exercise. Not only do 56 percent view it as election interference but only 44 percent see it as “the fair application of the law”: . .  . The poll is also bad news for Biden. Some 65 percent believe Biden . . .

Sundance: Same Magistrate Judge That Authorized FBI Mar-a-Lago Raid Now Limits Trump Public Defense Against Secret FBI Evidence

Judge Reinhart has approved the motion filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith to restrict President Trump’s access to the materials the DOJ claims to use against him and block the ability of President Trump to state publicly his defense against the evidence.  The star chamber of the DOJ Lawfare operation is continuing unabated. […]  The DOJ wants to limit public knowledge of the material evidence, not because it would harm national security – but rather because the nature of the evidence itself would highlight to the nation how fraudulent the targeting is. This is the guaranteed DOJ motive, that’s why everything is under seal and even the media will not talk about how they are gaining their leak knowledge. This is LAWFARE narrative engineering at its apex deployment.(more)

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: CANCEL THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Sibarium: A Small Business Complained About Crime in Chicago. Then the Feds Came After It.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2017 began investigating Townstone Financial, a small mortgage company in Chicago, over possible violations of civil rights law. The bureau bars lenders from making statements that “discourage” minorities from applying for loans. Townstone may have violated that regulation, the agency said, when its employees discussed crime in Chicago on a company-hosted radio show about the mortgage market, which also advertised Townstone’s services. The offending statements, plucked from five episodes recorded over a three-year period, included a reference to the South Side of Chicago as a “war zone,” as well as a recommendation that home sellers “take down the Confederate flag.” Merely mentioning the flag, the agency argued, could scare off black applicants. […]  What followed was an unprecedented legal battle between a small business with under 10 employees and a powerful federal agency that claimed to know better than the consumers it was allegedly protecting. Where working-class black people heard harmless chit-chat, agency officials heard disparaging dog whistles, which their lawsuit said amounted to “redlining.” […]  It felt like “David and Goliath,” said Barry Sturner, Townstone’s president. And it was happening in a country that ostensibly bars the government from targeting citizens for their speech.

Canaparo: No One Voted for Administrative Rule Constraining Every Aspect of Our Lives

The federal government has threatened to withhold Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program funds from a Catholic hospital in Oklahoma because the staff keeps one small candle burning in its chapel. It’s tiny, encased in glass, and kept far away from medical equipment, but the feds insist it’s a safety risk. It’s absurd, but not surprising. Absurdities are a feature of administrative rule. What is administrative rule? It’s a system of government where nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives is regulated by obnoxious laws that nobody voted on, enforced by pedantic bureaucrats who nobody voted for.

The candle is just one example. There are many. Federal water regulators are fighting a 16-year-long battle to prevent the owners of a dry plot of land from building a home, under the theory that the land contains “navigable waters” because it is connected by a road to a marsh, by marsh to a ditch, by ditch to a creek, and by creek to a river.

(Update) Justice: BLM Gives Americans 15 More Days To Comment On New Land Grab Rule, But Won’t Show Up To Hear Their Concerns

While the bureau put more days on the public comment calendar, the administration still has announced no plans to hold additional meetings. […] After outcry from Western constituencies and their representatives in Congress, the Bureau of Land Management has extended the public comment period on its proposed public lands rule that threatens to upend those Americans’ way of life. The new rule proposed in March establishes a framework for “conservation leases” elevated over other uses such as mining, grazing, and gas development. The agency guidelines, which were created without a congressional vote, would implement a radical departure from the “multiple use mandate” outlined by Congress in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA). The multiple use mandate requires the BLM, which presides over 245 million acres, primarily in the West, to make lands available for a wide variety of uses for maximum benefit. Conservation leases are poised to choke off millions of acres from those uses.

Judicial Watch: Details on Biden Abuse of Trump

We continue to reveal the details of the Biden administration’s unconscionable raid on President Trump’s Florida home. We received 477 pages of records pages from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that show top officials of the National Security Division discussing the political implications of Trump allowing CNN to use closed-circuit TV (CCTV) footage of the raid on his Mar-a-Lago home.

BlazeTVStaff: The smoke from the White House reveals the fires of Biden’s criminality

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted — again — and Mark Levin is not having it. Levin believes the Espionage Act used by Biden’s DOJ to indict former President Trump is not only unprecedented but likely wrong. “Tell me,” Levin says, “how many people have been prosecuted under the Espionage Act since 1917 who were president or vice president up until today? Zero,” Levin says. However, Trump isn’t the first former president to take classified information with him. “Lyndon Johnson took classified information with him,” Levin explains. “He had one of his aides keep it. They put it in an envelope. Johnson said, ‘Not till I die give it to my library.’ And then the library got it and they were sitting on it for 50 years, they were told to, involving top secret information about Vietnam and tapping the phone of Richard Nixon.” But apparently, no one remembers that.

Gilley: Their Democracy

A government agency seeks to delegitimize conservative politics. Launched by President Reagan 40 years ago “to foster the infrastructure of democracy” around the world, the NED is governed by a bipartisan board. It gives grants to democracy activists overseas, holds events, publishes books and journals, and brings advocates for democracy from around the world to the U.S. on fellowships. It receives fierce criticism from both the anti-American Left and the isolationist Right—a good sign of its bipartisan nature. It is loud and proud about promoting democracy abroad despite the cavils. Its congressionally-approved budget from the Department of State for fiscal year 2022 was $300 million. But since the electio n of Donald Trump, NED has repeatedly violated its supposed neutrality on American politics and engaged in openly-partisan advocacy against Trump and Republicans. This is a remarkable intellectual failure for an organization that lectures other countries about accepting the legitimacy of the political opposition, especially one you detest. The slide began before the 2016 election when NED President Carl Gershman broke the unwritten rule of neutrality by repeating false claims that Russia was trying to elect Trump with his “praise of Putin’s strongman rule.”

Sacks: Here’s The Truth About Ukraine’s Failing Counteroffensive And The Peace That Could Have Been

How long will Biden be able to perpetuate a proxy war of choice that could have easily been avoided?  ith each passing day, it’s becoming clear that the Ukrainian counteroffensive is failing to achieve any of its originally stated objectives. Recall: The Biden administration’s bet was that the counteroffensive would roll back Russian territorial gains, cut the land bridge to Crimea, and force Russia to the negotiating table. That is almost certainly not going to happen. On the contrary, a stalemate is more likely, or even that Russia will take more territory and win the war, as John Mearsheimer has predicted. What are President Biden’s options now? Either escalate or admit defeat. In preparation for NATO’s Vilnius Summit, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been floating a proposal to give “Israel status” to Ukraine. This means multi-year security guarantees including weapons, ammunition, and money that would continue even if Biden loses the next election. This is not what the American people signed up for. New evidence is emerging that a peace deal was achievable at the beginning of the war.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: THE FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Prager: Can You Define Leftism?

After a speech in Romania last week, I was asked a question by a young member of the audience that, remarkably, I don’t remember ever having been asked: What is leftism? The question seems so simple and so basic to understanding contemporary life that you would think it would be posed frequently — and if it weren’t, the reason would be that almost anyone who cares about society would already know how to answer it. But the question is rarely posed, and few know how to answer it. “What is leftism?” is not at all the same as “What is liberalism?” Leftism and liberalism share almost no values. Indeed, perhaps the greatest tragedy of America today is that liberals do not vote their values. Leftists vote their values, and conservatives vote their values. But liberals vote for left-wing values, almost none of which they hold.

Cohen: Woke Up

onservatives often argue that private charity can—and should—do for society what is currently done by the welfare state. Therefore, it’s no surprise that recent criticism of corporate philanthropy by some on the Right has been met with cries of hypocrisy by the Left. What the Left fails to consider (or conveniently ignores) is that today’s corporate philanthropy no longer resembles the “voluntary civil society” championed by so many conservatives. In fact, corporations today predominantly engage in a new, perverse form of philanthropy that evades the regulatory regime Congress established to ensure that corporate philanthropy is transparent, accountable, and in service to the common good. The old philanthropic paradigm of companies donating to uncontroversial, local charities such as little leagues, food banks, and traditional social services has been supplanted by a new, unfettered philanthropy indistinguishable from the activism and politics of the radical Left.

Leaked audio has emerged of sitting President Joe Biden reassuring former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that tapes related to the Burisma scandal, which a Ukrainian government aide had turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had been “stopped.” Conservative talk show host Dan Bongino surfaced the audio and gave insight into its significance in a recent show.

Cleveland: Did The FBI Prevent Delaware Agents From Investigating Biden Bribery Allegations?

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, rarely asks a question to which he doesn’t know the answer. When the question concerns the politicization and weaponization of the FBI, you can bet some damning information rests behind his query. So when Grassley asked on Thursday whether bribery was within the parameters of Delaware’s investigation into Hunter Biden, it likely means the FBI defined the scope of the federal investigation into the president’s son so narrowly that agents lacked the authority to properly probe a “highly credible” confidential human source’s reporting implicating the Biden family. Specifically, the CHS reported that Hunter and Joe Biden each received $5 million in bribes from the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma. The Iowa senator posed his question last Thursday during the executive business meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee. After several exchanges between Republican members of the Judiciary Committee and Democrat Chair Dick Durbin over the question of what, if anything, the FBI had done to investigate the bribery alleged in the CHS’s FD-1023 report, Grassley interjected this query:

Bonchie: Hunter Biden and a Maltese Bank Account Raise Big Red Flags Amidst the Biden Bribery Scandal

The Biben bribery scandal continues to unfold in real-time, and information regarding Hunter Biden and a Maltese bank account is raising new red flags. That comes amidst reports that the infamous FD-1023 at the heart of the issue includes a sourced allegation from the founder of Burisma that the Bidens coerced $10 million in bribes.  Jesse Watters mentioned the revelation on Monday evening, which originated from yet more emails uncovered from Hunter Biden’s laptop. The Daily Mail provides more details of exactly what has been uncovered. It certainly doesn’t look good for the Biden family.

Hunter Biden and his Ukrainian gas firm employer were involved in setting up an account with a foreign bank that was shut down after a money laundering investigation.

DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: DESTROY THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY

(Womanhood is a casualty of the feminist movement & Democrat Party policies) Chadwell: How Women Have Robbed Themselves

Nevertheless, in the past, women have been the recipients of male deference. Men have opened our doors, taken off their hats, pulled out our chairs, and walked on the street side of the walkways. Those are little things, but they blossomed out of a concern for female abilities and weaknesses, from a recognition of our special place in the scheme of things, from male tenderness and respect. We women have robbed ourselves of those tiny privileges. Too many of us felt that these politenesses demonstrated a contempt, a condescension that couldn’t be tolerated, but by rejecting these niceties, we have offended those who would have been our protectors, and, even worse, in so doing we have robbed men of their manly identity. It’s no wonder that men now wear skinny jeans and man-buns, carry purses and sip lattes. I recently heard a news clip of a modern woman bemoaning the fact that all manly men were conservative. Well, of course. A conservative man still sees women as special and precious and essential. A leftist rarely does. [NOTE: Written in the comment section following the article – The problem with the women’s movement was that it focused excessively on a loathing of men, rather than the glory of femininity.]

On the first floor of the University of Washington’s main undergraduate library, one vending machine stands out.

Next year, similar setups will start appearing at public universities and community colleges throughout the state.

(Fatherhood another casualty of the feminist movement & Democrat Party policies) Roberts & Squires: We Need Committed Dads To Quiet Our Cultural Chaos

Dads across America are receiving something this Father’s Day that we have never sought but desperately deserve: vindication.  The social engineers who have shaped the past 60 years of American social policy assumed a check from the government is an adequate replacement for a man in the home. Worse, a new generation of radical elites has spent the past decade trying to destroy the sex binary altogether. But the evidence is clear: Father absence is associated with higher rates of poverty, teen pregnancy, youth crime, and substance abuse. Conversely, children who grow up with both parents are more likely to attend college and less likely to live in poverty or go to prison.  That doesn’t mean fatherhood today is the same as it was in previous generations. Dads today spend more time with their children than fathers did in the 1960s. For many men, bathing their children and reading to them at night are as much a part of being a good father as teaching their kids to change a tire, fish, or throw a perfect spiral. Those who have used law and culture to dismiss biology and undermine the role of fathers are wrong. Dads do matter.

THE MEDICAL CARTEL CANCELLED THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH 

Sacca: American Medical Association says BMI metric caused ‘historical harm’ by being used for ‘racist exclusion,’ vows to protect ‘gender-affirming care’ for transgenders

According to The Hill, “The report led the AMA House of Delegates to adopt a policy recognizing issues with BMI for its historical harm, use for ‘racist exclusion,’ basis on previous generations of non-Hispanic white individuals and lack of gender and ethnicity considerations.” The left-leaning business news website Quartz claimed that the BMI metric is “inherently racist and sexist” because “when Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet developed the index in the 1830s, he did so using data from European white men.” […]  The AMA didn’t stop at declaring BMI racist. The medical organization declared that it will fight for so-called “gender-affirming care” for transgender individuals. […]  “In the resolution, the AMA committed to opposing any criminal and legal penalties against patients seeking gender-affirming care, family members or guardians who support them in seeking medical care, and health care facilities and clinicians who provide gender-affirming care,” the AMA proclaimed.

In a June like none other, where the LGBTQ agenda has been crammed at increasing velocity down the throats of unwitting Americans, everyday folks are reaching their limits.

But it’s a sign of character and courage that the rest of us can take hope in—especially when demonstrated by families in the direct line of propagandistic fire. In response to the Left’s “sex-and-gender-everything” policies, parents and kids are both flexing their muscles in opposition to schools that are all in on “Pride.”

Rabbi Barclay: Finding Hope in Dodger Stadium: May We All Have the Courage to Stand for What We Believe

I had the great blessing of speaking at the event last week outside Dodger Stadium organized by Catholics For Catholics in protest of the Dodgers honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Since the Dodgers re-invited this despicable group of transvestites impersonating nuns, I have been deeply disturbed by this act of the Dodgers and Major League Baseball that embraces this group’s hatred of religion.  This is the tenth Dodgers “Pride Night,” but it is because of this group’s anti-Catholic, anti-religion actions that, for the first time in a decade, people of faith were motivated to act. I am grateful to have found hope in the presence of thousands of other people of faith. […]  With grace and organization, thousands of people peacefully marched to the gates of Dodger Stadium. Everyone was focused as they processed with the dignity that comes from people so secure in their faith that they can face adversaries without hate in their hearts.  While these Catholics had every right to be angry that the Dodgers and MLB supported a group of men who mocked and degraded their nuns, I saw no anger in the crowd. Instead, a strength that came from a simple belief that their religion should stand up against the hate of anti-religious bigots pervaded the crowd. A strength and belief that needs to spread around the nation until all sports teams reject every form of anti-religious bigotry.

Lindquist: Texas Christian University To Hold ‘Queer Art Of Drag’ Course

Texas Christian University (TCU) will hold a “Queer Art of Drag” course where students will be required to create a “drag persona” and give a performance, a report from Campus Reform revealed. The course, which will be held through the Women and Gender Studies department, will be taught by Dr. Nino Testa, who has a drag persona called “Maria Von Clapp.” “Drag is an art form with a rich history of challenging dominant norms and systems of oppression; building queer community; and cultivating experiences of queer joy in a hostile world,” TCU’s website reads.

Latest Ratings Crash Shows the Fox News Implosion Is Even More Glorious Than Most Realize

Fox News received the worst ratings news it has ever experienced on Friday, marking the continued implosion of the previously top-rated cable news channel. As Dailywire’s Matt Walsh revealed on Facebook, their trajectory is likely worse than most even realize. For 120 straight weeks, Fox News was the most-watched cable news network in primetime. Its main competitors, MSNBC and CNN, never came close. In the key advertising demographic — people between the ages of 25 and 54 — Fox News was the undisputed leader. But last week, after nearly two months of declining ratings following the ouster of Tucker Carlson, Fox News’ streak came to an abrupt and very unceremonious end. Last Friday, Fox News recorded its worst performance in primetime in the network’s history. Just 109,000 people between the ages of 25 to 54 tuned into Tucker Carlson’s old 8pm time slot, to watch the replacement show “Fox News Tonight.”

How bad is that? To put it in context, . . .

Sheehan: YouTube Removes Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Interview With Jordan Peterson: Campaign Faces Internet Censorship Battle

Social media giant YouTube has removed a video of Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The interview, in which Kennedy claimed that chemicals in the water are causing “sexual dysphoria,” was removed from an episode of Jordan Peterson’s podcast. Kennedy and Peterson, both vocal figures, swiftly took to Twitter to express their outrage over censorship and accuse YouTube of interfering with a presidential campaign. Kennedy wrote: . . . […]  A spokesperson from Google, YouTube’s parent company, explained that the video was removed for violating the platform’s general vaccine information policy. The spokesperson said: . . . […]  Kennedy, a long-time environmentalist, spoke to the impact of chemicals in the water on sexual dysphoria, specifically mentioning atrazine as an endocrine disruptor. Kennedy said: . . .

Reddit Lies: How Reddit Radicalizes The Left And Encourages Political Violence

eddit, a link-aggregating website that claims to be the “front page of the internet,” has turned into a hotbed for radicalization. Reddit’s fundamental reliance on upvotes over an algorithm produces an unstable equilibrium in the hands of bad-faith moderators. This creates an incredible echo chamber made up of subreddits, which create groups of individuals who will gladly throw away their empathy as long as they view themselves as a “bastion of good” fighting those who are ontologically evil. In some rare cases, these individuals reach beyond the keyboard and manifest this radicalization into action. This article is meant to shed some light onto the unseen world of Reddit, where left-wing users are routinely goaded into increasingly concerning rhetoric and, sometimes, even violence.

(July 2021) Revolver.news: South Africa — The First Country Built on “Critical Race Theory” — Officially Implodes

South Africa is disintegrating. After the jailing of Jacob Zuma, supporters of the former president took to the streets, ostensibly to protest but actually to simply plunder at will. The official death toll already runs into the dozens, but in a country as violent as South Africa (57 murders a day) the real toll will likely never be known for certain. Rioters have plundered shops and entire shopping malls. When they run out out of normal goods, they steal livestock. When it’s too heavy to carry by hand, they bring a forklift. The meltdown in South Africa isn’t a natural disaster or a random fluke. It’s a choice. South Africa was the first modern nation to be refounded on the anti-white principles of Critical Race Theory, and now it is reaping the whirlwind of that choice. South Africa did everything that is being done in America right now. As a hyperdiverse multiethnic, multilingual society, South Africa has followed almost every prescription embraced by the globalist ruling class.

(June 2023) Cele: Africa’s Richest City Is Crumbling Under Chaos and Corruption

Johannesburg was built on gold. It’s now such a mess that homeless people direct the traffic. Solomon Owa’s fingers work quickly as he speaks over the hum of his sewing machine. That’s because the hum of his sewing machine might stop at any moment. “In a few minutes, the power will go,” he said. The 51-year-old runs a tailoring business from his garage in Johannesburg. Outages leave him idle for up to 10 hours a day. Surrounded by piles of colorful material, he needs to work while he can. It’s a rush that South Africans have begrudgingly become accustomed to as they’re forced to use more and more ingenuity to navigate daily life: Charge devices, take a shower before the hot water goes off and leave the house before the traffic lights go out. Schools, hospitals, restaurants and businesses rely on backup generators to keep running. Homeless people guide vehicles through potholed streets for cash.

Bunyan: Crew on missing Titanic sub face risk of hypothermia as air runs out, expert warns, as final photos of the vessel setting out with British billionaire, UK-based businessman and his teenage son on board are revealed

The five crew members who are on board the missing submarine that set off to see the wreck of the Titanic before losing all communication now face the risk of hypothermia as the air onboard begins to run out, an expert has warned. David Gallo, an oceanographer and senior advisor at RMS Titanic, said those onboard – including British billionaire Hamish Harding, UK-based Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son Sulaiman Dawood – will now be facing dwindling oxygen supplies and fighting the cold. The stark warning comes as the final photos of the tiny underwater craft leaving the port in St. John’s in Canada with the five crew members on board were revealed. The 21ft submarine was seen being towed by the mothership MV Polar Prince out to sea to the wreckage site of the Titanic. But hours after the haunting final images were taken, the submarine descended to the dark depths of the Atlantic Ocean to view the famous wreck 12,500ft underwater before losing all communication with the Polar Prince – 350 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

Clark: EXCLUSIVE: ‘Nobody knows how horrific it is’: Race is on to rescue animals from annual Chinese dog-eating festival where pets are stolen from owners then tortured to death because their heightened adrenalin ‘improves the meat’

  • An estimated 10,000 dogs are killed and eaten each year at the Yulin Lychee and Dog Festival in southern China
  • Before they are killed they are often clubbed, boiled or skinned alive in the belief that adrenalin levels increased by the torture makes the meat taste better
  • Animal activists in Los Angeles try to rescue as many of the animals as possible, but it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the number that meet their deaths
