Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Losing the lottery ~ Sometimes it takes a good story to jolt us out of our lethargy ~ Interesting article from Nicole M. King who uses the imagery from Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” to show how jaded our society has become to our culture of death.
Tell A Joke, Don’t Pass Go, Pay $200,000 ~ Appears that free speech isn’t anymore – at least not in Canada. According to the CHRC (Canadian Human Rights Commission)…
Anything that portrays a group in a negative light counts as a hate crime, and that includes things that are true.
Darwin’s Evil Fruit Exposed ~ Worldviews matter. The theory of evolution inevitably leads to a God-less society where the “fittest” prevail (and other cockimamie ideas) ~
Those too young to remember the cold war cannot imagine the depth of depravity that issued forth in the 20th century after Darwin’s theory took hold. The oppression of communism went on so long, it encompassed whole lifetimes in misery and despair. It’s a sorry verdict on our education system’s failure that so many today are embracing socialism, the halfway house to communism.
The Secretive, Underground Obama Administration ~ A brief recap of the “most closed, control-freak administration” ever, from Investor’s Business Daily. This criminal regime could have been stopped at one term – if the media had done their job. Now the damage is irreversible because our entire culture has been corrupted.
Donald Trump Is a Scam. Evangelical Voters Should Back Away ~ Editorial from the Christian Post is no doubt too little-too late, but it’s still the truth ~
Trump, an admirer of Vladimir Putin and other dictatorial leaders, may claim to be your friend and protector now, but as his history indicates, without your full support he will turn on you, and use whatever power is within his means to punish you.
Progressive ‘Thought-Blockers’: Racism ~ The race-hustlers like #BlackLivesMatter, disgruntled Hollywood actors and Barack Obama and are peddling nothing but discord, for their own devious purposes ~
Like other progressive “thought-blockers,” a spurious “racism” is a way for progressive Democrats to amass and consolidate political power, in this case as a tool for keeping black voters on the party plantation, patrolled by the equivalent of the Fugitive Slave Law that hounds any black person who dares to think for himself and challenge the racialist orthodoxy. The losers are truth, rigorous argument, sound evidence, and most important, the millions of blighted black lives that really don’t matter to the race industry.
NY Mayor De Blasio admits his gun control policy is to blame for recent rash of stabbings ~ Inadvertently of course ~
The mayor claims that since there are so many fewer guns on the street, officers can now focus on criminals using knives and razors.
Speaking of knives…
Muslim Nanny From Hell Parades Through The Streets Of Moscow With Child’s Severed Head ~ In case you missed this horrific story.
