In the run-up to and during the Rwandan genocide in 1994, Hutu extremists on radio would call the targeted group, the Tutsis, “cockroaches.” This makes it even more notable that, it has emerged, a Biden administration media official posted derogatory remarks about whites on the internet — this included calling them “snow roaches.”

Did clothing brand The North Face just show its true face? Some may thus wonder with news that the company is offering a 20 percent discount on its products. But there’s a catch:
You must take an hour-long online “racial inclusion” course. If you then “pass” a multiple-choice quiz — which includes topics such as “white privilege” — you’re rewarded with a voucher for the discount.
Another catch is that you must be in Britain; if you live anywhere else, The North Face isn’t interested in “enlightening” you, apparently.

Perhaps this is where the lamentably not-endangered species known as the Western capon just says “Yes, dear!” and the higher-T crowd doesn’t notice, busy as it is earning and building and being taxed. To wit: A new government report highlights an increase in ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries among female soccer players. It lays blame for them, too — squarely on, you guessed it, men.

“Each person shall have a right to clean air and water, and a healthful environment,” reads the “green amendment” to the New York State Constitution. Seventy percent of Empire State voters cast ballots in November 2021 supporting the measure, too, and it’s not hard understanding why. Such a “right” sounds so innocuous, so common-sense oriented, so unarguable; besides, the first time most voters heard about the proposal was in the voting booth. But, warns one critic, such constitutional provisions are “a real wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Between 2007 and 2017, the suicide rate nearly tripled — for children ages 10-14. No, that’s not a typo, but a tragedy. It’s also yet another reason to worry about our civilization’s cultural and moral trajectory. For the reality is that while Americans try hard to make sure their kids are safer, happier, healthier, and kinder than ever, their efforts are backfiring.
Commenting on this Tuesday, Power Line’s John Hinderaker posted a picture (below) that’s certainly worth a thousand words.

If you encouraged this kind of activity today, someone would call the cops, Hinderaker then pointed out. Even when he grew up in the ’50s and ’60s in a small South Dakota town, there was a striking degree of a certain kind of freedom. “Kids played, almost always without parents having anything to do with it,” Hinderaker explained. “In some ways, you could say our parents were strict. On the other hand, they rarely had any idea what we were doing. As long as we were home for dinner at six, we were good.”

Prejudice about prejudice is nothing new. For example, the “conventional” wisdom in 2008 held that Barack Obama’s race might be an impediment to his presidential ambitions, and a poll did show that six percent of Americans were less likely to vote for him because of his race. Yet the same poll found that nine percent of Americans were more likely to support him because of his race. And now there’s another story illustrating the difference between real and “feel”:
A major study has found that it is men, not women, who suffer workplace discrimination.

Move over, Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney. There’s a new brand in town finding woke ways to reduce its market share.
I learned this while shopping in a local supermarket on Wednesday, when I noticed a rack with unusually colorful bags of Smartfood popcorn. Since the brand has been introducing new varieties in recent years, this wasn’t surprising. What did raise my eyebrows was that the bags were a sexual devolutionary special edition roll-out for, it seems, Valentine’s Day, but were still around. (Is it too much to hope it’s because they’re not selling well?)
Much like Dylan Mulvaney, the bags are brazen and “in your face,” unabashedly advertising a partnership the brand now has with GLAAD. Originally formed in 1985 and then known as the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, GLAAD has now expanded its sexual devolutionary horizons and pushes the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) agenda along with its original obsessions. In other words, this group is as toxically left-wing as they come.

He calls himself on social media “Mr. Cash Money.” And he can do this because the German government, with its suicidal migrant policy, could be called Mr. Schmuck on Wheels.
How else would you characterize a state that lets a Nigerian scammer con his way to citizenship and get benefits based on claiming paternity for 24 children (with different women) while, apparently, not even residing in Germany?
The kicker: Family “reunification” imperatives give 94 of the scammer’s relatives the right to reside in Germany — and also receive taxpayer-funded benefits.

Once upon a time, rapid DNA tests were used with illegal border crossers to determine if any children accompanying them were actually theirs and not sex-trafficking “merchandise.” That was under President Trump. But that’s now “been done away with,” Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, recently told Dr. Phil during a conversation. The result?
Kids are being illegally brought into the United States, destined for prostitution rings or sweatshops — all facilitated by the Biden administration and financed with our tax money.
The New York Post reports on the story:
Dr. Phil called the migrant crisis at the southern border “out of control” during on appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast — blasting the Biden administration for “paying money to take these children and sell them into sex slavery.”
Phil McGraw, the former TV host, shared video footage of a conversation that he had with Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, during Tuesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
Judd told McGraw that US border authorities no longer had rapid DNA testing kits due to the massive influx of migrants that have poured into the country from Mexico.
…McGraw speculated that the lack of DNA testing could lead to minors being linked up with traffickers.
“Are they given money? These people that are released into the country?” McGraw asked Judd.
“So it’s our taxpayers that ultimately facilitate the travel, but yes, travel is facilitated, and they are given all the necessities that they need,” Judd said.
…McGraw told Rogan: “That’s how out of control we are down there!”
Yet there are even more shocking details. On Monday’s edition of The View, McGraw said that “kids are coming over the border with numbers written on them, phone numbers, and addresses” — just like merchandise (all they need is the UPC code). And what happens then?
We “call up there and say, ‘Do you know so and so?’ ‘Yes, we’re waiting for them.’ ‘Okay, they’ll be on a plane or a bus,’” McGraw told Joe Rogan. Of course, this is a bit like believing that the proposal in that poorly composed email really is from a Nigerian prince.
“We are paying money to take these children and sell them into sex slavery,” McGraw additionally said.
McGraw also posed to Judd an obvious question: Why “have you not talked about this [before]?” Judd replied, “[No]body’s ever asked me these pointed questions, but I’m grateful that you’re asking them now,” McGraw related to Rogan. In other words, our mainstream media show about as much due diligence as the federal government does.
And the latter’s abdication of responsibility was further illustrated by McGraw during the Rogan interview. As Mediaite, which first reported on the story, relates:
They’re just letting people come in, and the Red Cross and different groups are giving people maps, showing them how to do it, and encouraging it,” McGraw said.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) recently signed into law a bill expanding the authority of local law enforcement in border cases. It is just one of a number of battles the Texas governor is embroiled in with the White House, which has also condemned his policy of busing migrants to overwhelmed cities like Chicago and New York.
…According to McGraw, migrants steer clear of Texas border officials.
“The Texas border guards wear brown uniforms, and the federal guards wear green. If you get arrested by a brown uniform, you get arrested, processed, and sent back,” he said. “If you get apprehended by a green uniform, you get arrested, processed, and given a court date in seven years. So they run to the green uniforms and away from the brown uniforms.” [So maybe the Texas guards should start wearing green uniforms, too.]
Critics may now ask: Why, again, are we paying taxes? What basic, constitutional function that is the federal government’s domain is it actually performing competently? Moreover, is not using tax dollars to undermine the nation (and facilitate children’s harm) a sort of treason?
Below is part of McGraw’s Rogan interview, which includes excerpts of his conversation with Judd (note: contains one instance of foul language).

And below is part of McGraw’s View appearance.
Dr. Phil SCHOOLS The View on Biden DHS sending migrant kids to work in sweatshops and sex rings. He spoke to the head of the Border Patrol union:

McGraw also provided a basic overview of the planned border crisis in a video on X. As Fox News tells us:
Texas law enforcement has seized over 454 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this [border security] mission. Governor Abbott has said that the federal government has broken the pact between the United States federal government and the states,” McGraw said. “Governor Abbott says President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.”
“The result is a humanitarian crisis, unlike anything we’ve seen before, smashing records for illegal immigration by wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas border security infrastructure,” he continued.
…”According to the Department of Homeland Security, since President Biden took office more than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed [the] Texas southern border in just three years,” McGraw said. “That’s more than the population of 33 different states in this country. And what about our Vice President Kamala Harris? Did you know she’s our country’s immigration czar? Guess how many times she’s been to the border? Once.”
Despite all this, it’s reported that McGraw is receiving “backlash” for exposing the Truth. As for the people facilitating the invasion and child exploitation — aka, the Machiavellians pulling Biden’s strings — do they really care? Kids sold into prostitution may just be a few more of the eggs they have to break to make their omelet.
