Milo is seeking the halo.

Prominent conservative activist and writer Milo Yiannopoulos was best known for bleached-blond hair, trolling leftists, appearing at college talks dressed in drag, and, most notably, his unabashed homosexuality. But he’ll soon, apparently, be better known for something that truly brings scorn today: Coming out as “ex-gay.”

Describing himself thus and as “sodomy free,” Yiannopoulos is now more fully embracing the Catholic faith in which he was raised; in fact, he’s even leading a daily online consecration to St. Joseph.

Much as with St. Augustine and his famous prayer “Lord, make me chaste, but not yet!” Yiannopoulos had said in a 2019 interview that he knew his behavior was wrong but that insofar as rectifying it went, “I’m just not there yet.” He also confessed, “I don’t know if I’ll get there.”

But now, it appears, he’s arriving.

Giving new meaning to the term “discriminating shopper,” products are now sometimes being presented with something other than an ingredients label: signs indicating their producers’ race, ethnicity, or even sexual inclination. My, what could possibly go wrong?

A better question is: What has already gone wrong?

Two millennia ago, Marcus Junius Brutus approached Roman statesman Cicero, confessed his error in supporting Julius Caesar and complained that something must be done to rescue the republic from the leader’s designs. The wise Cicero’s bitter reply was, “Do not blame Caesar; blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom…. Julius was always an ambitious villain, but he is only one man.”

Nothing has changed in 2,000 years. We still have our ambitious villains and would-be Caesars. Speaking of which, it’s also true that Andrew Cuomo is just one man — and that he’d be nothing without millions of enablers.

Since our Idiocracy-bent dumb-down specialists even claim that expecting the right answer in math is a Caucasian norm, it’s no surprise the same mentality is being applied to English. To wit:…

It’s what has been called the Third Worlding of America: a double standard where instead of equal protection under the law, political opponents are punished via the courts while rioting allies are tacitly told by the powers-that-be, “Good job, son — and we may need you again soon.”

If a bill mandated that police mustn’t pull over male drivers more than female drivers, even if the former exhibited greater criminality, what effect would it have on law enforcement?

Okay, now what if that legislation mandated that police mustn’t pull over black drivers more than they do white drivers? Would the effect be any more positive?

Actually, the above wasn’t an analogy. For it turns out that the misnamed George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021 — which was just passed by the Democrat-controlled House — mandates both those things.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Andrew Cuomo was the first sitting politician to receive an Emmy, awarded just last November. Now we learn that the “Love Gov,” as he once dubbed himself — whose “Founder’s Award” recognizes an individual who “crosses cultural boundaries to touch our common humanity” — crossed some other boundaries and touched a lot more than that.

New York’s governor won’t be winning an Emmy for his more recent acting performances, however, not if the groveling, almost four-minute apology he offered Wednesday is any indication. The act was in response, of course, to the sexual-harassment allegations against him, which you can read about here and here. But the Machiavellian mea culpa won’t help him, say some observers, and not just because his pretense at getting choked up was as fake as his brother’s news network.

All during the coronavirus situation, masked reporters masking reality have noted, enthusiastically, every mortality milestone reached during the past year. Now it’s “500,000 Americans have died of COVID-19!” which certainly is an attention-getter. It’s also profound COVIDiocy, writes an ex-medical examiner with more than 30 years experience in death investigation. The number isn’t even remotely accurate.

Question: How many cases of injustice are acceptable? This is a good question for the Associated Press, which apparently thinks it’s okay for boys claiming to be female to compete in girls’ sports — as long as they don’t take too many spots away from the lasses.

Of course, the AP doesn’t define “too many.”

The outlet also essentially states that we should wait until people suffer injustice before legislating against injustice.
