Justin Bieber in Obama’s Ear: Is Pop Star America’s Most Powerful Man?
By Selwyn Duke
Is Canadian pop star Justin Bieber the most powerful man in America? Yes — if music mogul Russell Simmons is to be believed. According to Simmons, celebrities in general have a lot of clout with the Obama White House — but he says, “Bieber is who makes it pop.”
To support his incredible assertion, Simmons cites one 2013 tweet from Bieber that inspired a call from then-Attorney General Eric Holder “within two hours” and the introduction of a bill in Congress within two weeks.
Islam Rising: UK Muslims Led Schoolchildren in Anti-Christian Chant
By Selwyn Duke
Another day, another story about Islam making inroads into Western civilization, aided and abetted by "leaders" to whom treason is the norm. As the Birmingham Mail's Harvey Day writes:
Pupils at Oldknow Academy, a school implicated in the Trojan horse scandal, were led in anti-Christian chants in assemblies, it has been alleged.
Teacher Asif Khan allegedly led pupils shouting: “We don’t believe in Christmas, do we?” and “Jesus wasn’t born in Bethlehem, was he?”, a tribunal was told
In these assemblies Mr Khan who was a classroom teacher, also allegedly talked about “hellfire” and “prostitutes”.
Media Nixing Comments Sections: When “Civility” Really Means “Political Correctness”
By Selwyn Duke
When leftists start talking about “civility,” watch out for your freedom of speech. This again comes to mind with reports that some media outlets are eliminating online comments sections in civility’s name. And while it’s not a First Amendment violation (these are private-sector actions), it is largely motivated by the same mentality spawning speech codes on college campuses and “hate speech” laws overseas.
And as with those phenomena, the nixing of online comments is justified with noble-sounding sentiments. As the AFP recently reported, “Last month, Vice Media's Motherboard news site turned off reader comments, saying ‘the scorched earth nature of comments sections just stifles real conversation.’ It instead began taking ‘letters to the editor’ to be screened by staff.”
That’s rich. What stifles conversation more than eliminating a comments section completely? As for “real conversation,” the content leftist media disgorge proves they haven’t the foggiest idea what that might be.
College Officials Agree to Destroy “Racist,” “Oppressive” U.S. Constitution
By Selwyn Duke
Leftists have often been accused of shredding the Constitution. And now it appears that many of them are more than willing to do so — literally.
So reports Project Veritas (PV), which discovered that when confronted by an undercover reporter posing as a student and claiming the “racist” Constitution upset her, most college officials were willing to destroy it.
Presented in a series of three videos (first one below), the PV journalist’s appeal was melodramatic and politically correct in the extreme. After telling a college official the Constitution was being distributed on campus, she’d make a statement such as, “I didn’t think that this would happen, but I realized that the Constitution is kind of a trigger for me. Overall, I see it just as a really oppressive document.… I mean, I am, like, scared to walk around campus and see the Constitution.”
Most aren't aware of it, but Sweden is probably the most left-wing Western nation on Earth. Some years ago their "Left Party" (it's actual name, perhaps originated because it left sanity) proposed a "Man Tax," a special levy that would be applied only to men. I kid you not. The nation is a feminocracy.
But its chickens — enabled by its capons — are coming home to roost. The massive politically correct welfare state that is Sweden is collapsing, says dissident Swedish journalist Ingrid Carlqvist, under the weight of its own insane leftist policies. In particular, the Swedish obsession with inviting countless unassimilable Muslims into the country is finally, Carlqvist tells us, bringing Sweden to the breaking point. An excellent Glazov Gang interview with Carlqvist is below.
Hungarian Leader: Immigration a “Treasonous” Conspiracy to Marginalize Nation States
By Selwyn Duke
“This is betrayal, ladies and gentlemen! Europe has been betrayed! And if we do not stand up for it, this Europe will be taken away from us.” So declared Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán last Thursday while condemning European leaders who have opened up the continent to waves of mostly Muslim Middle Eastern migrants.
It was not the first time Orbán had inveighed against the migration, which threatens to upend European culture. And it further underlined the chasm separating politically correct Western Europe and what many would call a more culturally correct Eastern Europe.
Speaking to his countrymen, Orbán further warned, “Ladies and gentlemen, what we face is nothing less than the challenge of finding ourselves at the gateway to the implementation of a deliberate conceptual project, which could be described as left-wing and which seeks to marginalize the nation states of Europe. Where this project has failed to overcome Christianity and the identity of the nation state — and the values and responsibility springing from it — in conventional political struggle, it will strive to eliminate it on ethnic grounds.”
Schools Ban the Drawing of All Religious Figures — to Avoid Insulting Muslims
By Selwyn Duke
A school district in California has just banned the depiction of any religious leader in academic assignments in the name of "sensitivity." Of course, it isn't just "any" religious leader whose depiction is the issue. So here's a pop quiz. Do you think the problem was:
Christians angry about the depiction of Jesus?
Jews angry about the depiction of Moses?
Buddhists angry about the depiction of Buddha or the Dalai Lama?
Zoroastrians angry about the depiction of Zoroaster?
Or might it have involved the Religion of Peace™?
Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch treats the story, writing:
The assignment was not meant to mock Muhammad or insult Muslims. It simply involved drawing pictures related to various Islamic terms: Koran, Mecca, Muhammad. The banning of images of Muhammad even at this level and with this intent is kowtowing to violent intimidation, which will only encourage more of it, and accepting Sharia restrictions on the freedom of speech. Neither one bodes well for the future of the Acton-Agua Dulce Unified School District, or of the nation at large. Most political, religious, and media leaders, however, are eagerly jumping on this bandwagon, selling out our freedoms in a short-sighted and ill-considered attempt to avoid “insulting” Muslims and “poking them in the eye.”
Obama Admin Says Boys Must Be Allowed to Shower With Your Daughter
By Selwyn Duke
Should your daughter have to share showers with a boy and have him competing on her sports team? The Obama administration certainly thinks so, as its Education Department has just ruled that an Illinois school must allow a boy claiming to be a girl “unfettered access to girls’ facilities.”
Liberals are ever busy trying to undermine our nation, and sometimes, in the process, they undermine themselves. You may remember the anti-Second Amendment-rights video some years back in which a boy found a handgun in his parents' drawer and took it to school. The effort backfired on the video's creators, drawing criticism from all quarters.
And the libs have done it again.
Headlining Drudge right now is a video, by some group calling itself "Deport Racism," which features "Latino" children inveighing against Donald Trump in profanity-peppered diatribes. And while this anti-American group is getting more publicity than they likely ever imagined, it's not the kind they want.
The video's down-votes outnumber its up-votes about 10 to 1 (despite accusations that YouTube is fudging the statistics), and the comments are largely negative, despite claims that Deport Racism is deleting much negative feedback.
And the reaction is no surprise. To the genius creators of the video, here's a clue:
Normal, sane people don't find foul-mouthed children cute or endearing.
In fact, it's quite off-putting. It's bad enough when adults use profanity, but it's all the more unsettling to see someone who appears corrupt at such a young age. The video's creators are guilty of child abuse, of the corruption of minors. The only good news is that they've driven even more people into the anti-immigration camp.
Oh, and Deport Racism, I feel confident in saying that the Trump campaign thanks you.
The video is below, but, again, it does contain profanity. Watch at your own discretion.
Swedish Editor Wants to “Fill Land with ISIS” to Get Rid of Anti-immigrant Swedes
By Robert Spencer
How quickly would the Islamic State jihadis that Theodor Stig-Matz would welcome into Sweden capture and behead him? Do you think they would pause long enough to commiserate with him about how racist those horrible Sweden Democrats are?
He says he was being ironic. However, Leftists all over the West have been much more willing to make common cause with Islamic supremacists and jihadis than with so-called “right-wing extremists.”
