Leftists have never opposed racism/discrimination in principle. They simply want to be able to dictate which groups get screwed by it, as their evolving political needs demand.

One of the darkest aspects of this is that these girls came from the lower classes, the north, the working class, the industrial towns and cities. Their grandparents and ancestors were coal miners, factory workers, soldiers, servants to the upper classes. To show their thanks to generations of loyal Brits who did backbreaking toil for their country and the crown, their daughters were given as sex slaves to foreign invaders. A genocide of native people. The crimes of the complicit modern UK government put it up there with Ceausescu’s Romania and Pol Pot.

🚨 Earlier today, protesters swarmed the Warren E. Burger Federal Courthouse in St. Paul after 15 Minnesotans were indicted for allegedly conspiring to impede or injure federal officers and violently oppose immigration enforcement. I am very pro-police getting involved here. You can protest. You can criticize ICE. You can be furious about federal charges. But you cannot swarm a federal courthouse and try to intimidate the justice system in real time.

Modern man believes Spiritual Warfare is a metaphor. The Catholic response.... Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Yet another isolated incident of a thug stabbing someone to death because they disrespected him by asking him to leave

"All of the Communist Parties, upon attaining power, have become completely merciless. But at the stage before they achieve power, it is necessary to use disguises."

I honestly and truly believe that Donald Trump does this kind of stuff for the sole purpose of irritating Leftists. I’m here for it.

The year is 1949. The Nobel Prize in Medicine has just gone to the man who invented the lobotomy. Your doctor suggests one for your sister, who has not been herself since the baby came. It is the most celebrated advance in psychiatry of the age, and he is simply current. By the time the prize curdles into an embarrassment, close to twenty thousand Americans have had the operation, and proportionally more here in Britain. The year is 1956. Lay the baby down on his front, the doctor says. So does the most trusted childcare book ever written, the one on every new mother's shelf. On his back he might choke, the reasoning goes. Millions obey. The advice holds for nearly thirty years, long after the evidence has quietly turned, and a generation of cot deaths is counted before anyone thinks to roll the babies over. The year is 1966. A bestselling book informs your wife that menopause is a disease, that she is, in the author's word, a castrate, and that a small daily pill will keep her youthful and tolerable to live with. Her doctor agrees. The drug becomes one of the most prescribed in the country. Nobody mentions that the author sat on the payroll of the company that made it. That detail surfaces decades later, in the same year the landmark trial is halted early for raising rates of breast cancer, stroke and clots. The year is 1979. Your ulcer is caused by stress and sharp food, the doctor explains. Calm down, drink milk, take the antacid that happens to be the best-selling medicine on earth. Two Australians are about to prove that most ulcers are caused by a bacterium and cured by a fortnight of antibiotics. The profession laughs. One of them eventually drinks a beaker of the stuff to settle the matter. The establishment takes the better part of twenty years to stop laughing. The Nobel lands in 2005. The year is 1985. Butter is dangerous, the doctor says. Switch to margarine, it is modern, it is heart-healthy, the experts are united. The spread he nudges you toward is loaded with trans fats, which the next decade will identify as the genuinely dangerous one, and which will eventually be banned outright. The butter goes quietly back in the fridge. No correction is ever printed at the volume of the original warning. The year is 1992. There is a pyramid on the surgery wall, and the very same one in your grandchild's classroom. Bread, cereal, rice and pasta form the broad virtuous base, up to eleven servings a day. Fat is exiled to the tiny tip. The chart was reportedly held back a year while the relevant industries had their say. It is wrong at the bottom and wrong at the top. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines, new studies, a fresh consensus, delivered with precisely the steady confidence of every guideline above. He believes it, and he has good reason to. So did every doctor in this thread. None of them were villains. Each was sincere, most were kind, and all were certain, reading from a map that somebody else had drawn and handed them. That is the part worth sitting with. So when the man in the white coat tells you what to eat, what to fear, and what to swallow every morning for the rest of your life, you are allowed to ask. Who paid for the study. What the evidence says beneath the headline. What he was just as certain about thirty years ago, and where that advice sits now. Then make up your own mind. Call it scepticism, or call it whatever your grandmother called it when she ignored the advert, kept the butter where it was, and lived to ninety-one. It has outlasted every consensus on this list. It will outlast this one too.

This is why vetting of foreigners from much, if not most, of the world is literally impossible.

Saving LA - Phase III

🚨 Aber Kawas, Hasan Piker, and the Sarsour Talking Point What a fascinating moment tonight at NYC-DSA’s “A City to Win” rally with Hasan Piker. Aber Kawas casually lays out Linda Sarsour’s role as a major political mentor and “auntie” figure in her life. Sarsour helped her family when her father was picked up by ICE, brought her into organizing, and helped move her from skepticism of electoral politics to seeing campaigns as a path to power. Kawas also says, “I’ve been working with her ever since,” while crediting the broader movement Linda “helped build to this moment.” During Bernie 2016, Kawas says, she was working for Sarsour and remembered thinking, “This electoral crap. I don’t believe in this.” Now she is running for the New York State Assembly on the NYC-DSA slate. Off camera, Sarsour feeds Hasan the talking point that Kawas would be the first Palestinian-American woman in the New York State legislature. Even Kawas immediately calls it out, “She’s feeding you the point.”

It is absolutely wrong to refer to the AMA as America’s physicians. There are hardly any active practicing physicians who belong to the AMA. They say they have 350,00 members because they consider all 300,000 students and residents as members of the AMA. I can tell you from having a worked there that they don’t even tell their own employees how many actual members they have it’s embarrassingly small. I also know because I used to manage the CME portfolio that they provide very few CME credits for their members – another indicator of how small their membership is. When I was there they would issue about 20 to 30,000 CME credits per year which almost all came from JAMA. Less than 10% of their CME came from AMA activities. This is in contrast hundreds of thousands or millions of credits given by other by other organizations that actually do have very large memberships When I first went to work there I was shown a poll that showed 70% of physicians have a unfavorable view of the AMA. 2/3 of their income comes from their ownership of CPT and HHS mandates that CPT be used for billing. Without CPT there would be no AMA. I had an awful experience working there as some of you might know. The physician community should absolutely not let the AMA present themselves as representing American medicine

“The communist regime in the East could stand and grow due to the enthusiastic support from an enormous number of Western intellectuals who felt a kinship and refused to see communism's crimes. And when they no longer could do so, they tried to justify them.”

Everyone needs to relax. New England would never send a man with an alcohol problem and a history of abusing women to the United States Senate.

As a journalist, I embedded with multiple groups of migrants during 2015-16 "Syrian" wave (only about a third were fleeing the civil war in Syria, from my observation). I even lived in a smuggler's safe house in Istanbul, waiting for weather conditions to permit a dinghy crossing from Izmir to Lesbos. I went into that experience basically an open-borders person and left a restrictionist. Merkel's flinging the gates to more than 1 million newcomers was madness, sheer madness. Even if these were the most aspirational migrants imaginable --- and they weren't, gotta be honest --- the numbers, the cultural distance, and the conditions of European society should've prompted a rethink. But no. Wir schaffen das. I tried to put myself in the shoes of native working classes in the transit countries (the Balkans, Hungary, etc.) and the recipients (Germany, Sweden, etc.). It was obvious that they would experience it as a cataclysm. Even if most wouldn't become victims of crime, this many newcomers were bound to generate acute incohesion experienced at the street, social services, and housing levels, mostly burdening the native poor and those on the lower rungs of the labor market. The engine of assimilation, not particularly robust in most of Europe to begin with, breaks down in the face of sheer numbers. In retrospect, I've come to believe that this was the single worst and most consequential decision taken by European leaders in the 21st century. I don't understand it. I remember @DouglasKMurray telling me at the early stages that the best way to help was in-country, meaning humanitarian assitance in the Middle East and North Africa, not by bringing them over. He was 100% correct.

In what will certainly become one of the most fundamental speeches of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV told the Spanish Parliament, before receiving a 7-minute standing ovation: "The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization." "If life ceases to be recognized as a fundamental value, what future can our societies have?" he said, speaking to a gathering of politicians, many supporting abortion and euthanasia. "Can a community that casts into the shadows the unborn child, the elderly, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others be called fully just?" "Every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence. When this certainty is obscured, the most vulnerable are the first victims, and the law loses its deepest meaning: to serve and protect every person." "For this reason, the moral greatness of a nation is manifested, above all, in its capacity to accompany, protect and love those lives that are most fragile," he said, repeating what John Paul II emphasized decades ago. Starting his speech he commented that Church's is the "message offered in the spirit of service to the human person." "When the Church addresses anything concerning public life, she does so while respecting the proper mission of institutions and the legitimate responsibility of those who have received the mandate to legislate," Pope Leo said, emphasizing "the Church offers a reflection born of the desire to serve the common good." He hailed Spain as country that "has known how to view the human being as more than just a cog in the social, economic or political order. It has recognized the human being as a creature open to truth, endowed with freedom, and driven by a thirst for eternity that no temporal reality can quench -- in a word, as someone whose dignity takes precedence over all utility and to whose service legislative action is subject." He said it was Catholic orders that "helped to shape a legal and moral consciousness capable of remembering that authority always entails responsibility and that every human being must be recognized as a subject of rights and duties." "That aspiration continues to resonate today: that dignity, justice and the common good should be the measure of social relations, both at the national and international levels." Referring multiple times to his "Magnifica Humanitas" encyclical, he said: "When the common good ceases to be a shared horizon, public action runs the risk of fragmenting into partial interests, incapable of safeguarding what belongs to all." "In this context, the family — the primary human reality and the natural foundation of the community — takes on particular importance," Pope Leo said. "The family will always be the first school of humanity, where one learns, before anywhere else, the basic grammar of living together: welcoming life, caring for others, forgiving, serving and belonging." "Human life can never be treated as a commodity," the pope said. "A law does not attain its true greatness merely by having been formally enacted; it attains it when, in addition to being valid in form, it can stand before the dignity of the person and pass that test without shame." "I invite you, then, to lift your gaze to the world around you, not to turn away from reality, but to remember that every decision by public authorities affects real people, especially those who have less power to make their voices heard." "The expanse of one’s vision consists precisely in looking more deeply at what is at stake in every public decision. This is why, alongside technical solutions and legal reforms, a moral renewal is also needed." Video: Vatican Media (fragment of speech follows)

The audacity of a liberal arts feminist studies professor to call another human life a parasite or drain on society. Babe you haven’t contributed anything to the community but BO and terrible books, but we don’t kill you for your general uselessness now do we?? Calls herself a feminist and doesn’t have enough of a morally cohesive worldview to explain why murdering an unborn female just for being female is wrong. Silly bitch thinks the word “mother” is as offensive as the word “bitch”. Out here killing baby girls inside the wombs of “pregnant men” writing whole books about feminism. DAFT.
