It’s not King Herod decreeing that male children should be killed, but it certainly is eyebrow-raising: China’s ever-growing, totalitarian surveillance state is now requiring blood samples from boys in provinces across the nation.

This is according to Bitter Winter (BW), a magazine on religious liberty and human rights in China. BW reports that one explanation given to concerned parents of schoolboys was that the program was designed to “prevent children from being lost or abducted.” Of course, though, since girls can be abducted, too, this excuse only further raises suspicions.

New Year’s celebrations across Western Europe were again marred by violence, attacks on authorities, and fires. In fact, while firefighters in Brussels, Belgium, planned to be at the ready, they needed police escorts to be free from violence themselves. Yet doing violence to Truth, the reportage on the story has been marred by something else: an almost complete news blackout on the real source of the problems.

Imagine you’re required to submit what’s essentially a loyalty oath to diversity dogma to qualify for a “merit”-based raise at your job. Do you bow down before the mind molesters for money? Well, the illustrious Professor Stephen Bainbridge of UCLA Law School was recently confronted with this dilemma, and his response to the academic bullies’ goodthink enforcement has raised everything from eyebrows to spirits.

What follows is his diversity oath, taken from his blog and reprinted in toto….

The incoming Archbishop of York has an interesting idea for how the church can deal with the Great Sexual Devolution:

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

Ignoring the biblical injunction “Be not conformed to this world,” Bishop Stephen Cottrell instead believes that the “Bible has to fit the current culture,” as the UK’s Christian Institute relates it.

It’s fairly well known that “transgenders” have a very high suicide rate, especially after undergoing so-called sex reassignment surgery. But barely known, and contrary to modern myth, is that they’re also more likely to commit murder than to be murdered, according to a recent report. In fact, the report finds that Made-up Sexual Status (MUSS, or “trans”) individuals are actually less likely to be homicide victims than normal people are.

One supposed difficulty terrorists have effecting dirty-bomb mayhem is obtaining the radioactive material — but it turns out that this may not be so difficult after all.

For that material is as close as your local hospital.

At issue is radioactive cesium-137, which is “commonly found across the United States"….

Joe Biden may be tops in national Democrat primary polls, but he certainly doesn’t lead the field in policy analysis if a recently resurfaced video is any indication. In it the ex-vice president condemns and calls “irrational” the very policy that allowed a gun-wielding parishioner to thwart Sunday’s Texas church shooting — and join the countless legal firearm owners who foil crimes every year.

You know we live in crazy times when it’s hard distinguishing real news from satire. A case in point is that the Left, not satisfied just advocating the abolition of ICE, now proposes eliminating police forces.

Yes, you read that right: not reforming police — not just having the feds assume control as was proposed under Obama in reference to Baltimore’s cops — but abolishing them.

Imagine attending a performance of A Christmas Carol, and the “first act” is a lecture about how the theater sits on “sacred,” stolen Indian land. This is precisely what journalist Kathy Kersten experienced at the Guthrie Theater (shown) in Minneapolis last Friday.

It’s a bit like a general vowing to go off to fight some ghost army on the other side of the Earth while his own land is being overrun by barbarians. San Francisco, known for aggressive vagrants and streets littered with fecal matter, hypodermic needles, and trash, is thinking globally and acting loco: Ignoring its real problems, many of its residents and politicians have resolved to banish paper to-go cups. At one café, in fact, customers will be encouraged to bring their own coffee mugs.
