A hallmark of morally immature people is that they only respect power. This comes to mind when considering “artists” who wouldn’t dare lampoon Muhammad, but then pat themselves on the back for bravery after mocking Jesus and Christians. And the latest example is a Netflix cartoon that agitates against Second Amendment rights using a blasphemous portrayal of the Christ.

In a malignant game of patty-cake, Colorado baker Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, is again being sued for not placing his business at sexual devolutionaries’ service. His long-time tormentor, a lawyer and man claiming female status going by the name “Autumn Scardina,” now has the Christian businessman back in court because the latter refused to bake a cake celebrating his “gender transition.”

Of course, with approximately 184,990 bakeries in the United States and thousands in Colorado alone, people can certainly get a cake bearing virtually any message they want (highly politically incorrect sentiments, do note, would likely be an exception). There also are Muslim bakeries that would and have refused sexual devolutionary requests, but they’re not in leftist cross hairs. The hatred for Phillips is so baked in, however, that he has been dealing with attacks on his freedom since 2012.

Imagine that you get into a heated argument with your spouse, and the police are eventually called. You then engage with them non-confrontationally and willingly agree to submit to a psychiatric evaluation at a hospital. The doctors would determine that you’re not a danger to yourself or others; meaning, there would be no inpatient care. Yet when you return home, you find that the police had entered your residence and had seized your firearms without a warrant.

Moreover, you then ask the cops numerous times to return your guns. They refuse, however, and only relent two months later after you have an attorney contact them.

Well, you don’t have to imagine because this is exactly what happened to Rhode Islander Edward Canaglia in 2015 (you can read more details about his case here). What’s more, the Biden administration now wants police nationwide to have the power to seize your weapons without a warrant….

Given that Hunter Biden skated on a gun crime, Governor Ralph “Blackface” Northam is still in office, and Jim Comey and James Clapper never got the Roger Stone treatment despite lying to Congress, it’s understandable that State Representative Park Cannon (D-Ga.) would be upset. Cannon, a black woman, is the victim of a blatant double standard.

While it’s now customary to let Democrats commit crimes for the cause, she was actually arrested for breaking the law.

“Oh, the humanity!” was basically the attitude of the left-wing media.

Proving again that there’s no one as illiberal as a liberal and giving new meaning to the term “March Madness,” USA Today’s For the Win publication is calling for Oral Roberts University (ORU) to be banned from NCAA competition. The paper complains that the Christian sense of virtue the school upholds is “archaic.” (Is that a bad thing?)

Chutzpah, thy name is Megan Rapinoe. After losing 5-2 in 2017 to the Dallas FC Under-15 squad — yes, that would be boys with, in certain cases, high-pitched voices — Rapinoe and the rest of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNST) still want the men’s money.

The scene of Rapinoe’s latest descent into utter audacity was the White House, where Joe and Jill Biden had a roundtable discussion with USWNST members on Wednesday, which was “Equal Pay Day.”

For the uninitiated, know that this day isn’t devoted to equalizing the pay gap between whites and Asian-descent Americans (the latter make more), between Christians and Jews, between uncompensated pubescent boy soccer players and the wealthy female pros they beat, or any other groups. Rather, discriminating among the disparity phenomena, the focus is on just a specific one: the gap between men and women.

What’s next? Asking people to, à la the Roman Empire, acknowledge the leader as a god? We could thus wonder with news that a former Department of Justice prosecutor, Glenn Kirschner, is mounting a campaign to compel “every business in America” to take a pledge stating that the “2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results.”

Yes, and “boys” claiming girlhood have always been girls — and we’ve “always been at war with Eastasia.”

As for Kirschner’s “1984 is an instruction manual” endeavor,” any “American business refusing to take this pledge, regardless of their own personal beliefs, will presumably be subjected to the cancel mob"….

We’ve already learned from critical-race-theory hustler Glenn Singleton that high-achieving Asian-descent Americans can be, you might say, honorary white people. We’ve also heard from wokesters that demanding the right math answer in school is “white supremacy” and that 2+2 can equal five. So, I don’t know, maybe it’s all relative. Maybe there really is a spate of anti-Asian “hate crimes,” even though the data say otherwise. And perhaps most of these crimes really are committed by white people, even though if so, they’re white people who looked mighty non-white.

Leftists are obviously beside themselves after last Tuesday’s Georgia massage parlor massacre, not over the fact that a deranged young man sought to eliminate sexual temptation by shooting nine innocent people, killing eight, but that he wasn’t yelling “White power!” while doing it.

So liberal media and politicians are, like a child, stamping their collective foot and trying to pound the square peg of white supremacy into the round hole of reality. Yet while they spin the narrative that whites are targeting and attacking Asian-descent Americans because, in part, President Trump dared call the China virus the “China virus,” the facts tell a different story.

“Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so,” wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1820. “They have, with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps.” While this is true, one Judge Laurence Silberman may be an exception.

Silberman, of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, emerged from relative obscurity recently when he penned a dissent in the case of Tah v. Global Witness Publishing, Inc. In this case, which Involved defamation, Silberman went far beyond disagreeing with how the majority applied a 1964 “landmark” Supreme Court opinion, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. He also challenged the very “notion of Supreme Court infallibility,” as one commentator put it.

In a nutshell, the ’64 opinion held that succeeding in a defamation claim required a plaintiff to prove not just that statements made publicly were false and damaging, but that they were motivated by malice (read more about the case here and here.) As a result, public officials basically stopped suing the media because, unlike in Britain, it’s now notoriously difficult to win a defamation case in the United States.

Silberman finds that troubling. But what bothers him even more is that, as he pointed out, “Justice Thomas has already persuasively demonstrated that New York Times was a policy-driven decision masquerading as constitutional law. As with the rest of the opinion, the actual malice requirement was simply cut from whole cloth.”  

Unfortunately, this isn’t uncommon. For the SCOTUS has long been, it appears, buying cloth in bulk.

My, she ought to talk to the Chinese. We just learned that Beijing has an uncomplimentary name for white “woke” liberals: baizuo. Now a prime example of the species is learning that “woke” is no joke:

San Francisco School Board Vice President Alison Collins is being condemned by other wokesters for having said that Americans of Asian descent “use White supremacist thinking to assimilate and ‘get ahead.’”
