Trump’s Warning for Europe Is a Warning for America Too

Trump’s Warning for Europe Is a Warning for America TooMike Marlowe – There are certain things you’re not supposed to talk about in polite society. One of those things is the fact that Western Europe is dying. Its borders have disintegrated, its ruling class is actively trying to destroy its own culture, and its birthrates have collapsed harder than CNN’s primetime ratings.

Fortunately, President Donald Trump has never been a big believer in political correctness – and he realizes that the only hope of saving Western Europe is to name the problem directly. Continue reading →

Scottish Police Arrest Serial Speaker: Elderly Woman Charged After Holding Sign Offering to Discuss Abortion

Scottish Police Arrest Serial Speaker: Elderly Woman Charged After Holding Sign Offering to Discuss AbortionJonathan Turley – Rose Docherty is what they call a criminal recidivist in the United Kingdom. The 75-year-old woman has been arrested for a second time for the same fiendish act: offering to speak to women considering an abortion. She was arrested outside the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for carrying a placard which stated “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Fortunately, she and her sign were quickly seized by the local police to protect the public.

Free speech literally does not have a prayer in the United Kingdom. We previously discussed the case of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, who was arrested for standing near an abortion clinic while silently praying. Police asked what she was doing standing at the location and when she said that she was praying in her head, they arrested her. Continue reading →

The Left Is Working Hard To Hide the Truth and Create Fantasies

The Left Is Working Hard To Hide the Truth and Create FantasiesVictor Davis Hanson – Just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the left is working overtime to hide the truth and create fantasies about his death.

Specifically, leftists alleged that conservatives were going to “pounce” on the death to wage protests and boost radical agendas in the manner of what followed George Floyd’s death.

Here are some of the lies that such a ridiculous narrative entails:

One, Charlie Kirk is not conservatives’ George Floyd. There were no mass riots after his death of the sort that followed Floyd’s demise.

Floyd’s death was used by the left to justify five months of rioting, arson, murder, looting, and attacking police officers. Continue reading →

Leftist Outrage and Blame Shifts: Is This the New Norm?

‘See What You Made Me Do?’

Kevin Finn – In the movie The Rainmaker, when Matt Damon’s character tries to help an abused woman, her husband attacks him. The enraged man becomes extremely violent, going so far as to tear a shelf off the wall to use as a weapon. During his attack, he shouts to his wife, “See what you made me do?” He’s inflicting injury and doing enormous damage to his own home, all the while blaming his wife for his actions.

Where have we seen this type of behavior before?

Well, we saw it in L.A. in 1992 and again last June. We saw it in Ferguson in 2014, and we saw it there again ten years later. We saw it in hundreds of U.S. cities in 2020. We’re seeing it now as leftists blame Kirk for inciting his own execution.
