In February, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning transgender athletes (men pretending to be women) from participation in publicly funded women’s sporting events. “We will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls. From now on, women’s sports will be only for women,” Trump said at the signing ceremony, standing at a podium flanked by female athletes. “With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over.”

The shift in public sentiment by the end of 2024 was palpable. The western world was being force fed a steady diet of trans propaganda that bordered on worship. The public could not go anywhere without being inundated with LGBT flags and imagery. For a minority that represents less than 1% of the global population, the level of funding and political power behind them has been astonishing.

The proclamation that trans people were a special and privileged class and their feelings had to be protected at all costs was simply too much. The campaigns to control American speech, indoctrinate American children in public schools and insert men into women’s spaces inspired widespread anger.

Portland, Oregon is suffering from the “worst housing crisis outlook” in the country, according to a study published last week by LendingTree.com. The study compared housing prices with household incomes and current vacancy rates to conclude that Portland and three other cities in the Northwest — Boise, Spokane, and Salt Lake — are four of the five worst housing markets out of the top 100 metro areas.

France just announced new tax hikes. Italy is raising capital gain taxes from 26% to 42%. The UK got rid of their “non-dom” rules essentially destroying tax incentives, and across the rest of Europe it’s plain wealth taxes.

Norway showed us how this will transpire. The muppets in power there raised wealth taxes to bring an additional $146 million in yearly tax revenue. Instead, individuals worth $54 billion left the country, leading to a loss of $594 million in yearly wealth tax revenue. A net decrease of $448 million.

Spain just recorded 1,000 fewer high-net-worth taxpayers. It was the first negative millionaire migration for the country since they imposed a wealth tax.

Thousands of millionaires are leaving while (coincidentally) tax pressure is at all-time highs.

Democracy is a joke. Who for example voted for higher taxes? Nobody of course, but the peasants will get them anyway.

In the UK, it’s the same story. Millionaires and billionaires are escaping as fast as they can.

Harvard might be a mere pipe dream for most American college-hunting brainiacs, but for “so many Chinese communist officials” it rates as their top “party school,” The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

Not only has Chinese President Xi Jinping’s own daughter been a student at Harvard, but a former vice president and Xi’s top negotiator with the first Trump administration studied there as leaders in China see Harvard education as a path to Chinese Communist Party positions.

And it is not a new thing.

In 2012, the Tumblr blog “Nice Guys of OKCupid” spotlighted a now-familiar archetype: the self-proclaimed “nice guy” whose progressive, sensitive façade masks entitlement, resentment, and self-absorption. Matt Gasda’s new novel, The Sleepers, animates a pretentious, Ivy League version of this archetype. Set in Brooklyn, it follows Dan—a hyper-online, upwardly mobile academic—steeped in some of the central tensions of the millennial era.

The year is 2016, and Dan is dating the beautiful but “aging” actress, Mariko, a Tisch graduate whose stagnant performances are precise but uninspired. (“Aging” in quotes because she’s only 32, yet frets over her supposed crow’s feet and fading glow.) As the 2016 election simmers in the backdrop—notifications humming ambiently across Twitter and Facebook—The Sleepers unfolds, saturated in paradox.

Perhaps the most central of those: that so-called male feminists often make the worst boyfriends—their performative wokeness a Trojan horse for ego, entitlement, and resentment. But subtler paradoxes surface, too: that Mariko, the neurotic older sister, is less professionally successful than her free-spirited sibling, Akari; that Dan, a proto-“Social Justice Warrior” online, yawns at the suffering of individuals in real life. There’s also the paradox that the meritocratic hamster wheel he builds a brand critiquing is his only source of meaning. And that his separation from it is only possible through the patrimony of a father whom he scorns, both in the abstract (deeming the nuclear family an “overrated configuration”) and the concrete (his unwillingness to be a decent, communicative son).

It’s no surprise at all that the mainstream media continues featuring as ‘experts’ discredited war hawks and neocons who’ve gotten every war of the last 20 wars dead wrong – from Afghanistan to Iraq to Libya to Syria, and the list goes on.

Former national security adviser John Bolton, who laughably deems himself a ‘realist’ – was interviewed by NewsNation’s “On Balance” program Friday evening, and the question focused on President Trump’s efforts to secure a fresh nuclear agreement with Iran, which several polls show has broad American public support.

But mustached jingoist Bolton has blasted these efforts as “fruitless” and went so far as to lay out that if Israel pursues preemptive strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities, this would be entirely “warranted”. Needless to say, Trump and Bolton long ago had a very public following out and war of words.

Queer friendly businesses, as a concept, presuppose the existence of queer-hostile businesses. This is where the damage is done. The existence of this mechanism both relies on, and promulgates, a narrative that LGBTQ hostility must exist substantially in both businesses and in their clientele. Notice that no one anywhere is taking on the responsibility of actually saying so.

The entire thing takes advantage of people’s good nature, while at the same time exploiting hasty, low quality thinking: If I don’t have any first hand knowledge about LGBTQ+ people or their plights, going by this as a clue, I would have to presume they’re in a lot of trouble. Needing a special icon so you know what businesses you can patronize, without getting beaten or otherwise abused? How awful.

But meanwhile, every business I can recall ever having patronized — all of them, throughout my entire time on the planet — operated, and if they’re still in operation still operate, on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Does someone somewhere have a different experience? You walk into a bar and the bouncer pointedly inquires “Y’all ain’t one of them homersexuals, are ya?” and makes life tough for you if you can’t answer no. Where has that ever happened?

It’s divisive. For no good reason. There’s no necessity for this.

It just helps people act like victims. Helps them think of themselves as victims.

But we put up with it. Doesn’t affect us in any way, right? Just “tolerate” it.

But then we have to wonder why we’re all so divided.

Well, it’s because of gimmicks like this.

Entirely unnecessary ones.

The “consensus of scientists” with respect to climate change is not organic. It was manufactured through questionable data processing methods.

When someone states the axiom “All scientists agree,” it is usually a reference to two particular studies, both of which were published in Environmental Research Letters (ERL): Cook et al. (2013) and Lynas et al. (2021).

Let’s look closer at these studies.

California leads the nation in more ways than one—taxes, regulations, and, once again, gas prices. As of mid-May 2025, the average gasoline price in California is $4.85 per gallon, far above the national average of $3.26, according to GasBuddy and AAA.

And it’s getting worse. A March 2025 study by USC Professor Michael Mische forecasts California’s fuel prices could spike 75 percent to over $8 per gallon within the next year. That’s not hyperbole—that’s the trajectory unless policymakers reverse course.

The culprit? It’s not oil companies or global demand. It’s decades of state-level tax hikes, regulatory overreach, and misguided climate mandates that have warped the gasoline market in California. This is a man-made problem—a case study in government failure, not market failure.

A radical student group at Brandeis University. Members of a socialist organization affiliated with House “Squad” members. The treasurer of a Democratic super PAC funded heavily by George Soros. These are just some of the figures and groups calling to “free” Elias Rodriguez, the Chicago man police say confessed to the Washington, D.C., murders of two Israeli diplomats.

Twenty-one organizations, along with Democratic activist Kamau Franklin, signed an open letter in support of Rodriguez organized by the Tariq El-Tahrir Youth and Student Network. It calls Rodriguez’s shooting of Israeli diplomats Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky outside of the Capital Jewish Museum “fully justified,” “eminently defensible,” and “morally righteous.” It also urges readers to “give pause to the zionists” and “GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA,” a popular rallying cry among student radicals on Ivy League campuses like Columbia University and Harvard University. One signee, Unity of Fields, has been involved in the Columbia protests.

Another signatory is the Liberation Caucus of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)—”Squad” members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), and Greg Casar (D., Texas) are members of DSA, the largest socialist group in the country. Franklin, who serves as treasurer of the Black Voters Matter Action PAC, a Democratic group that received $2.4 million from Soros and the Soros-funded Democracy PAC, signed the letter and promoted it on his Twitter page. So did the Brandeis Jewish Bund, a self-described “Anti-Zionist” group at Brandeis University, a school founded by Jewish Americans to address anti-Semitism in the American education system. Another signee, Bronx Anti War, was cofounded by Janet Goodman-Clarke, a member of the Soros-funded Jewish Voice for Peace.

Recently, President Donald Trump has escalated his struggle with Harvard University. Remember what the issues were. Harvard had not really followed the letter of the law according to the 2022 Supreme Court ruling, which it and the University of North Carolina had lost.

In other words, they were, by court order, to stop giving preference in admissions, in hiring, in promotion, in retention on the basis of race, gender, etc., what we would call DEI. Harvard has been skirting that. And I think the data’s pretty clear how they have and no question that they’ve been doing it.

Second, they have also been getting a lot of money from foreign governments, not always fully accounted for, that is reported to the Department of Education, specifically Communist China and Qatar, over the years.

About 10 years ago, Dona Sauerburger, a longtime Maryland Democrat disillusioned with America’s two-party system, decided to become an independent voter.

But that choice, she said, was immediately disenfranchising because Maryland residents who register as unaffiliated with a political party are not allowed to vote in primary elections. So for years, Sauerburger protested outside primary polling places and advocated for change before state lawmakers in Annapolis — without success.

Now she is taking her fight to the courts, leading a group of independents in a lawsuit against Maryland and the Board of Elections that alleges the state’s partisan, or closed, primary process is unconstitutional and violates the rights of registered voters like her who are not affiliated with a political party.

That assumes that voters who are not members of a particular political have some ‘right’ to help decide who that party’s candidate will be. This directly destroys the reason for having political parties in the first place, and further buries the Freedom of Association guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment that was pretty much shot in the head by the Civil Rights laws in the 1960s.

A few Democrat officeholders, activists, and pundits are finally coming to their senses that their brand is toxic to a majority of the American people.

First, it serially lied to Americans about the cognitive decline and cancerous condition of President Joe Biden, both while in and after office.

Only when caught did the complicit media fess up that the Biden inner circle serially misled the American people about Biden’s inability to fulfill the duties of the presidency.

Second, left-wing politicos used Biden as a waxen effigy. His job was to pose as a “moderate” cover to push through the most radical and unpopular agenda in the last half century.

Only that way could “Old Joe Biden from Scranton” and his backroom handlers ram down the throat of the American people unpopular policies that nearly wrecked the country: hyperinflation and $7 trillion in new debt, weaponization of the government, and partisan lawfare, an open border and 12 million illegal aliens, a racialist DEI commissariat, a crackpot Green New Deal, defunding the police, biological men competing in girls’ sports, and two theater-wide wars abroad.

The Supreme Court backed a multibillion-dollar oil railroad expansion in Utah on Thursday in a ruling that scales back a key environmental law and could accelerate development projects around the country.

The 8-0 decision came after an appeal to the high court from backers of the project, which is aimed at quadrupling oil production in the remote area of sandstone and sagebrush.

Environmental groups said the decision would have sweeping impacts on National Environmental Policy Act reviews. President Donald Trump’s administration has already said it’s speeding up that process after the president in January declared a “national energy emergency” and vowed to boost U.S. oil and gas development.

Margaret Atwood claims she may be “imprisoned” if she enters the United States—an absurd suggestion from one of the most celebrated progressive writers alive, and a striking example of how elites weaponize language to smear their opponents.

In a recent award acceptance speech, Atwood said: “Unlike so many writers, publishers and booksellers … I have never been imprisoned—though I may have to revise that statistic if I attempt to cross into the United States in the near future.” Coverage of the event does not record gales of laughter in response.

Atwood’s talent for gaslighting is genuinely impressive. She will, of course, be just fine the next time she visits the United States—not only because she is famous, but because she is deliberately abusing language to lie about what is happening there. Her references to “book-banning” and “censorship,” for example, are calculated to persuade her audience that America is engaged in practices akin to Nazi-style book burnings and Soviet censorship. Writers choose their words carefully, and Atwood is deliberately evoking the evils of past totalitarian regimes.

She is lying. Books are not being banned in the United States. School boards and other levels of government are engaged in a debate about which books are appropriate for children. Some educators and parents have concluded that graphic novels depicting homosexual acts or books with explicit sexual content should not be part of the curriculum or in the school library. This is not a “ban.” Nor is it “censorship.” Every school curates their curriculum and library, and authors like Atwood, contrary to what their inflated egos tell them, do not have a right to have their work purchased with taxpayer dollars and supplied to schoolchildren.

Germany’s new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has once again disappointed conservative voters—this time by appointing a radical-left activist from the SPD as the government’s new “Queer Commissioner,” in a move critics are calling a gift to the woke wing of German politics.

Sophie Koch, 31, replaces Green politician Sven Lehmann in the post, but instead of downsizing the role or scrapping it altogether, Merz has expanded it—creating a new, additional post within his government. The CDU leader who once vowed to bring order to immigration policy and push back against progressive excess has instead handed more power to someone known for insulting his own party and promoting extremist slogans.

Koch, who until recently worked for a taxpayer-funded LGBT NGO in Saxony, has made headlines for openly mocking the CDU and celebrating their declining support in eastern Germany. “Never again CDU,” she beamed in a now-viral video, reacting to falling poll numbers for the party in Saxony. She has also accused the CDU of abandoning “the democratic centre” over migration policy.

A parade of keffiyeh-clad students descended on Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday to face formal arraignment for their roles in a violent takeover of Columbia University’s Butler Library. Their lawyer accused Israel of “genocide,” asked the court to consider dismissal, and ultimately secured adjournments for procedural documents that will delay the cases for more than a month.

A total of 56 defendants were arraigned at the courthouse, with a few joined by their nervous parents. Among the defendants present were Ramona Sarsgaard, the nepo baby daughter of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard. Dima Aboukasm—whom Mayor Eric Adams once hailed as a peace activist—also had her day in court. They were represented by Matthew W. Daloisio, the same attorney who represented those arrested for storming Columbia’s Hamilton Hall in 2024.

California has declared war on its middle class, and the special interests controlling the state are doing everything they can to impose this punitive economic model on the rest of America. It’s a quasi-feudal system, with the entire population divided into aristocrats and serfs. The means to destroy the middle class is to engineer an unaffordable cost of living for households, and a regulatory environment that only huge corporations can afford to navigate. The moral justification for this destruction is to cope with the “climate emergency” and to achieve social “equity.”

A new report by the Council of Europe’s human rights monitoring body, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), warns of “racial profiling” in Europe in its latest findings, published Wednesday, May 28th.

“We’ve noticed that no member state of the Council of Europe is really immune when it comes to racial profiling,” said Bertil Cottier, chair of the ECRI. The Council determined that using facial recognition AI technology to track and identify criminals or registering undocumented immigrants is a violation of human rights and counts as racial profiling.

Italy was identified as one of the countries where racial profiling is a supposed concern. “During our visit to Italy we noticed some cases of racial profiling within the police forces. We made a recommendation to the Italian government to take this issue seriously,” said Cottier.

San Francisco’s public school system is quietly rolling out a “Grading for Equity” program that will reportedly exclude homework or weekly tests from final grades and allow students to pass with scores as low as 21 out of 100.

The plan, unveiled Tuesday by Superintendent of Schools Maria Su, will take effect this fall at 14 public high schools and affect more than 10,000 students, the Voice of San Francisco reported. Under Grading for Equity, semester grades will depend entirely on a final exam that can be retaken multiple times—even if students skip assignments or fail to attend class.

News of the plan comes as President Donald Trump cracks down on DEI initiatives both in public schools and in higher education. In addition to revoking billions of dollars in federal funding from elite universities, Trump has demanded that state education departments eliminate many DEI programs or risk losing their funding, prompting lawsuits that are making their way through the court system.

Su did not seek approval from the San Francisco Board of Education before announcing the drastic overhaul, according to the Voice. Her staff has told board members that they have no authority to reject the plan, which was revealed on the last slide of a PowerPoint presentation in a 25-page board meeting agenda.

She made the announcement the final week of the spring semester, as parents weigh whether to keep their children in San Francisco’s public schools this fall. The district is facing over $110 million in budget cuts amid declining student enrollment and mounting concerns about academic standards.

The retreat of DEI may be one of the biggest political and cultural reversals in recent history. Corporate America is running from its DEI trainings and programs in droves. Wall Street has soured on it. Many states, and now the federal government, have declared war on it. And many ordinary Americans are tired of it.

Yet the rot of DEI goes deeper than most people know, and it still has a veneer of respectability in academia. Of course, university administrators are running for the hills when it comes to publicly talking about DEI in the face of mounting legal and political challenges. But they haven’t changed their minds on the issue. They are busily at work rebranding DEI offices and positions as quickly as they can.

DEI Exposed: How the Biggest Con of the Century Almost Toppled Higher Education does just what the title promises: it exposes DEI for the con game it is. Dr. Stanley Ridgley has written a scathing criticism of DEI in higher education. This book is not for the faint of heart and will persuade no DEI enthusiasts or sympathizers. Ridgley’s contempt for DEI offices, publications, platitudes, and practitioners is palpable.

A few weeks after his message about “86”ing President Donald Trump, former FBI Director James Comey once again revealed the Left’s nefarious strategy to silence its opponents by referring to the Republican Party as “white supremacist adjacent.”

It’s not enough for the Left to cry “racism” against the GOP. No, the Left has launched a systematic approach to compare conservatives to the Ku Klux Klan and suggest they represent a terrorist threat—and Comey is breathing oxygen into that preposterous and dangerous narrative.

This radical bailey position is made untenable in three ways. First, my work with Phil Magness, John Moore, and Phil Schlosser (published in Economic Journal and Economic Inquiry) suggests that Piketty was careless in his usage of historical source materials and made numerous important errors in estimating inequality pre-1960. One involved his application of a rough estimation of income, though original sources contained data that could have enabled a more precise calculation. My coauthors and I tried to refine these pre-1960 estimates. Further, Piketty’s work contained significant historical inaccuracies (such as overlooking the exemption of state and local government employees from federal taxes before 1938) and misrepresented several steps in his methodology. We addressed these errors, too. Overall, we discovered that Piketty overstated inequality levels before the 1960s by about 20 percent.

Second, our work in Economic Inquiry showed that most of the levelling in the 1930s occurred as a result of the wiping out of capital gains. Roughly four-fifths of the “golden age” of equality (between 1950 and 1980) owed to the Great Depression, not tax policy. This finding is hard to celebrate because it means that greater equality was achieved while everyone was getting poorer. It also eliminates most of the purported influence of higher tax rates in generating the “golden age” of equality.

Third, the work of Gerald Auten and David Splinter shows that the golden age was not so golden. Once they corrected for how tax policy often encouraged changes in how taxpayers organized their income sources according to corporate or personal identities, they found that inequality started from a higher floor in the 1960s than Piketty and his colleagues presume. They also find a milder increase in inequality since the 1980s.

George Floyd died five years ago today, his movement only more recently.

It is no exaggeration to say that his death was one of the most important moments in recent Western history. The viral video showing Floyd having the life choked from him by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin

Which is a lie … he died from the massive amount of drugs he had ingested, as the autopsy proved. Chauvin knelt on the side of his neck, and it’s almost impossible to choke somebody to death by kneeling on the side of his neck. Try it yourself.

led to a wave of protests, riots and so much more. His death may have been more complex and multi-causal than initially seemed to be the case. However, there was no room for nuance at the time: the national consensus was that a black man had been publicly lynched by a white police officer, a supposedly common occurance.

…

But within a remarkably short period of time, nearly every major claim made by BLM activists during the ‘racial reckoning’ was exposed as nonsense. Very few innocent and unarmed black men are killed by US police, certainly not the thousands per year or even hundreds per day regularly cited by the media. In the year Floyd died, the total number of males killed by police who were both black and unarmed – according to the excellent database set up by the Washington Post – was 18. Last year, it was 10 – a remarkably low number for a country with a population of 340million, in which three million people die each year.

As I have often noted before, patterns of inter-racial crime rarely fit the mainstream narrative. In a typical year, the violent inter-racial crimes that involve a black perpetrator and a white victim, or a white perpetrator and a black victim, make up only three to five per cent of the roughly 1.2million annual serious crimes recorded by the Department of Justice. Furthermore, among this relatively tiny subset of offences, more than 80 per cent of the violence is black on white.

Elias Rodriguez opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum, killing two, a soon to be engaged Israeli couple, and wounded two others, but few media outlets reported his political orientation and his background. Or the outpouring of support from the anti-Israel Left.

In 2023, stickers reading “Exterminate Zionists” and the name of the Party for Socialism and Liberation appeared at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Rodriguez had been a member of the affiliated University of Illinois at Chicago and had been a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. According to Rodriguez’s manifesto, he became radicalized 11 years ago and was convinced that killing Israelis, Americans and Jews was the right thing to do. That was the same year that he was being quoted as taking part in protest rallies and speaking on behalf of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

After three years of negotiations, delegates to the World Health Organization’s annual meeting have adopted a global pandemic agreement that threatens national sovereignty, requires the transfer of vaccines during global pandemics, asks nations to fight “misinformation,” and authorizes such “social measures” as lockdowns and mask mandates.

The 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland, adopted the final text of the WHO Pandemic Agreement on Tuesday by consensus. The United States sent no representatives to the proceedings for the first time since 1948, while WHO crafted the global governance document with the assistance of 180 delegates from China, possibly the largest Chinese Communist Party delegation in history.

The pandemic agreement “is intended to create a rules-based, future-proof system that will stand the test of time,” stated France’s ambassador for global health, Anne-Claire Amprou, on Monday.

While the delegates eliminated some of the most egregious language contained in previous renditions of the pact, the final document still contains the worst provisions critics said violate national sovereignty.

Pending further negotiations, the agreement still requires nations to provide WHO with a target of “20% of their real time production of safe, quality, and effective vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics.”

The agreement stipulates that each nation “shall” impose “social measures during pandemics.” The World Health Organization defines “social measures” to include “physical distancing,” “mask-wearing,” and “contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine.”

The WHO “has been especially aggressive in taking away our freedom, imposing the China Model during 2020-2021: lockdowns, quarantines, closure of schools and churches, mask mandates, ‘vaccine’ mandates and ‘vaccine’ passports,” notes the manifesto of the Anti-Globalist International, founded by human rights activist Reggie Littlejohn.

Nothing like being rewarded for a job well done. Or, in Justin Trudeau’s case, bringing an entire country to the brink of losing the respect of the entire world.

Maybe that’s why Trudeau is reportedly getting not one but two pensions, and a $104,000 severance, totaling more than $8 million, according to the Toronto Sun.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released a chart Wednesday estimating pension and severance payouts for departing MPs.

“Pensions for former MPs depend on length of service and the rules at the time,” said CTF National Director Franco Terrazzano. “When Canadians see some of these numbers, the clear takeaway is that these political pensions are costing taxpayers too much money.”

The Sun writes that Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is eligible for two pensions: one for nearly 17 years as an MP and another for his 10 years as PM. Together, they’re valued at about $8.4 million. Starting at age 55, he’ll receive $141,000 annually from his MP pension, and another $73,000 a year from his PM pension when he turns 67.

Gun rights groups celebrated Thursday morning after the House narrowly passed President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” in a 215–214 vote. Organizations like Gun Owners of America praised the legislation for including the Constitutional Hearing Protection Act (CHPA), which eliminates both the federal registration requirement and the $200 tax on firearm suppressors. The provision drew sharp criticism from anti-gunners and leftist media outlets as the bill now heads to the Senate.

Just so you know: There is no such thing as a ‘silencer’. Every movie you’ve ever watched lied to you about this.

Suppressors merely reduce the noise that a firearm makes – the working of the action is still quite loud, and (unless you are using subsonic ammunition) the bullet will still cause a ‘sonic boom’ when traveling through the air. If you ever hear a suppressed firearm fire, it sounds very much like a nail gun, as used in construction. So there is no little ‘phut’ as you hear in the movies.

Time to leave.

Italy’s Constitutional Court has ruled that two women in a same-sex relationship can both be listed as parents of a child—even though this is biologically impossible.

The case involved a child born through medically assisted reproduction. The court said it was unconstitutional to deny parental recognition to the non-biological partner who had agreed to the procedure and taken on parental responsibilities.

LGBT group Rainbow Families hailed the ruling as “a historic day,” saying, “boys and girls have the right to see both parents recognized, from birth, even when they are two mothers.”

But critics warned of the social consequences. The Pro Life and Family association condemned the decision, saying it would plunge thousands of children into “an existential joke,” growing up without the stability of a natural family.

The ruling comes as Italy faces wider legal and cultural pressure to redefine parenthood. Just weeks earlier, the Supreme Court of Cassation—a separate high court—ordered the return of “parent 1” and “parent 2” on official ID cards, rejecting the traditional “mother” and “father” labels. That ruling overturned a 2019 decree by then-interior minister Matteo Salvini, who had restored biological terms in defence of Italy’s family model.

Conservative lawmakers have accused the judiciary of pursuing an ideological agenda that undermines national identity and family values.

Once again the proglodytes have corrupted the language in pursuit of a fantasy political agenda. If words only mean what you want them to mean, communication is impossible – and impossibly dangerous.

The Roman legal status of a bastard was filius nullius (child of no one).

Professional trade groups that push “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” anti-Semitism, and far-left politics are still raking in millions in taxpayer dollars—despite a series of Trump administration executive orders—according to federal spending records. One such organization is introducing young children to radical gender ideology.

The Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE) America, which represents over 200,000 gym teachers and health instructors, has received over $2.5 million since 2020 from the Centers for Disease Control and the Department of Defense’s educational program for children of American service members.

SHAPE helped draft the National Sex Education Standards, which set age-related teaching benchmarks.

Enough already. It is time for colleges and universities to get tough on student protesters who hide behind masks while engaging in violent or unlawful campus demonstrations.

…

When protests cross the line into violence, vandalism, or intimidation—as we have seen recently at institutions such as the University of Washington, Columbia University, and Brooklyn College—masks become tools of concealment, not expression.

In those moments, the anonymity they provide fosters a sense of impunity, which encourages students to act more recklessly and violently, creating a dangerous campus environment.

Masked protest in this context is not about health or symbolic speech. It is about avoiding accountability while breaking institutional rules or laws. When student actions disrupt the learning environment or threaten campus safety, their conduct falls well outside First Amendment protections.

Taxing unrealized gains is equal parts outright f*cking mathematically insane and cut-and-dry authoritarian. And while I’m appalled by the policy itself, there’s a perverse part of me that’s almost glad it’s happening in Australia first—because the disastrous results will be on full display for the world to see.

Starting in July 2025, the Albanese government is set to debut its latest economic masterstroke: taxing imaginary money. That’s right—if you’ve got more than $3 million sitting in your superannuation, not only will you get slapped with a 30% tax, but it doesn’t even matter if you actually made any money.

Didn’t sell anything? Didn’t cash out? Never saw a cent? Tough luck—Big Brother took a peek at your account, saw some numbers went up, and decided you owe them a slice of your hypothetical success.

The optics are grim for far-left Maryland Governor Wes Moore. As the state grapples with a fiscal crisis (deficit explosion), a credit downgrade, illegal alien invasion, violent crime, the looming threat of resident and business flight, a potential tsunami of new taxes, and a worsening power crisis, Moore is facing a growing backlash from all Marylanders. His ability to lead is increasingly being questioned—and it’s becoming clear he’s far from presidential material.

Moore has managed to anger both sides of the political aisle. The latest outrage comes from within his own party after he vetoed a bill that would have established a state commission to study and recommend reparations for African Americans affected by slavery.

In a letter explaining his decision, Moore said it’s not the time for another study, emphasizing the need for direct action to address racial disparities such as the wealth gap, homeownership, education, and food insecurity.

“I will always protect and defend the full history of African Americans in our state and country,” Moore wrote in his letter, adding, “But in light of the many important studies that have taken place on this issue over nearly three decades, now is the time to focus on the work itself: Narrowing the racial wealth gap,…

Which means taking money from white people and giving it to black people.

… expanding homeownership, …

Which means giving people mortgages who don’t qualify financially, which is what started the subprime mortgages meltdown in 2008.

… uplifting entrepreneurs of color, …

Which is anti-white racism, straight up.

and closing the foundational disparities that lead to inequality — from food insecurity to education.”

Which means the traditional Democrat playbook of putting as many people as possible on the dole, where they have to vote Democrat in order to keep the gravy flowing.

Yes, really.

Research by the think tank Policy Exchange uncovered one book that makes this claim, Brilliant Black British History is being used widely in schools.

The book, written by Nigerian-born author Atinuke, has sparked outrage among historians, parents, and anyone with a passing interest in, you know, facts.

WIRED, a Voice of the Crust.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that….
