Austrian village of 'Fucking' decides to change its name

"The long-suffering residents of the small Austrian village of Fucking have confirmed that, from January 1, the town will be known as Fugging. 

...The small community in Upper Austria of around 100 people has been pushing for a name change for years, the German Press Agency reported. The name of the town, which lies north of Salzburg near the German border, has no meaning in German.

Locals have grown frustrated by the thefts of the town signs by tourists and of people photographing the sign...Read all.

And this is OK in America?!!-----Simon & Schuster Cancels Hawley's Book over Electoral Vote Objection

Simon & Schuster Cancels Hawley's Book over Electoral Vote Objection

Publishing giant Simon & Schuster canceled U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) book Thursday after he participated in a constitutional effort to challenge the 2020 election results.

Hawley’s upcoming book, titled, The Tyranny of Big Tech, was scheduled to be released on June 22, 2021, according to a listing on the company’s website that is still live:

In The Tyranny of Big Tech, the current senator and former attorney general of Missouri argues that these companies, once hailed as the future of America, are now what ails the country...

 ...“We did not come to this decision lightly,” Simon & Schuster said in a statement, the New York Times reported. “As a publisher it will always be our mission to amplify a variety of voices and viewpoints: At the same time we take seriously our larger public responsibility as citizens, and cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became a dangerous threat.”...Read all.

Liberal Media's Message Is Clear: Blame Everyone on the Right - Louder With Crowder

Liberal Media's Message Is Clear: Blame Everyone on the Right - Louder With Crowder: 

But the media of course can't help themselves. Whenever anything happens that can remotely be traced to "our side" — let the quotes imply the loosest translation of those words — somehow everyone on the right is to blame. Not even the right, but anyone who expresses an opinion that disagrees with the left. Twitter is lousy with more serious examples.

 “Over half a million people in #WalkAway with hundreds of thousands of testimonial videos and stories is GONE. 

Facebook has banned everything related to #WalkAway.”

Facebook to ban and remove photos and videos from Capitol protest, content labeled as 'promotion of criminal activity' - TheBlaze

Facebook to ban and remove photos and videos from Capitol protest, content labeled as 'promotion of criminal activity' - TheBlaze: 

Facebook announced it would ban and remove photos and videos from the protest at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The social media platform claims that photos and videos from Wednesday's events violate Facebook's policy of "promotion of criminal activity." Immediately following the Capitol protest, Facebook and Instagram locked the account of President Donald Trump for 24 hours for "two policy violations."

Just a brief comment on the "takeover" of the US Capitol building yesterday.

John F. Di Leo--Just a brief comment on the "takeover" of the US Capitol building yesterday.

"There were two distinct events, mixed to look like one.

• First, there was a massive, peaceful rally in which many hundreds of thousands of primarily Trump supporters met outside and heard speeches, including an address from the president.
• Second, there was an onslaught in which a rush of protesters poured into the Capitol building.  This cannot happen without inside support.

We knew that Antifa and other such leftist thugs were infiltrating the pro-Trump rally.  

...It is now clear that it was some of these Antifa thugs who started the rush on the Capitol building. 

Now, were they all Antifa thugs? Maybe not. 

They probably energized some of the good people and got them to join in but it's clear that it was the Antifa infiltrators who led the trouble.

And why would they do that?   

Just look at what happened, almost immediately: it caused us real Trump fans, good law-and-order types that we are, to be suddenly embarrassed, ashamed of ourselves and our side, so we would back down. 

...The left knows how to win these things.  

Never forget how the Soviet Union grew their influence all over the world in the 20th century.  

They didn't move in with tanks and take over every country themselves; they usually sent in small numbers of rabble-rousers who knew how to destabilize their targets.  

That's who they are and what they do.

And that's what they're doing now."...Read all!

DENNIS PRAGER: I Now Better Understand the ‘Good German.’

Instapundit--DENNIS PRAGER: I Now Better Understand the ‘Good German.’

"...One of the biggest revelations concerns a question that has always plagued me: 

How does one explain the “good German,” the term used to describe the average, presumably decent German, who did nothing to hurt Jews but also did nothing to help them and did nothing to undermine the Nazi regime?...

"What has changed my thinking has been watching what is happening in America (and Canada and Australia and elsewhere, for that matter). The ease with which tens of millions of Americans have accepted irrational, unconstitutional and unprecedented police state-type restrictions on their freedoms, including even the freedom to make a living, has been, to understate the case, sobering.

The same holds true for the acceptance by most Americans of the rampant censorship on Twitter and all other major social media platforms. Even physicians and other scientists are deprived of freedom of speech if, for example, they offer scientific support for hydroxychloroquine along with zinc to treat COVID-19 in the early stages. Board-certified physician Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, who has saved hundreds of COVID-19 patients from suffering and/or death, has been banned from Twitter for publicizing his lifesaving hydroxychloroquine and zinc protocol.

Half of America, the nonleft half, is afraid to speak their minds at virtually every university, movie studio and large corporation — indeed, at virtually every place of work. Professors who say anything that offends the left fear being ostracized if they have tenure and being fired if they do not. People are socially ostracized, publicly shamed and/or fired for differing with Black Lives Matter, as America-hating and white-hating a group as has ever existed. And few Americans speak up. On the contrary, when BLM protestors demand that diners outside of restaurants raise their fists to show their support of BLM, nearly every diner does.

Congressman: Riots had 'all the hallmarks of Antifa provocation': 

"Please, don't be like #FakeNewsMedia, don't rush to judgment on assault on Capitol," he said. "Wait for investigation. All may not be (and likely is not) what appears. Evidence growing that fascist ANTIFA orchestrated Capitol attack with clever mob control tactics." Brooks wrote on Twitter:

Rules for Rioters: It Doesn't Matter What You Do, It's Who You Are When You're Doing It - The Rush Limbaugh Show

"RUSH: I’ve been thinking so many things, folks, during all of this, when I’ve had moments of, shall we say, consciousness. 

Imagine how things might be different today — and I know it’s no fun to play this game ’cause it doesn’t accomplish anything, but I still want to.

I want to get some of these things out there and off my chest. 

Imagine how things might be different today if Congress was as mad, was as outraged when private businesses were being burned to the ground and innocent citizens were attacked this past summer during riots across the country in Seattle; Minneapolis; New York City; Portland, Oregon.

Imagine if there was anything near the degree of outrage over all of that. 

When it was not the political class property being torched and destroyed, it was not the political class’s lifestyle that was being summarily attacked, nothing was done about it. In fact, it was ignored in the mainstream media. 

The mainstream media said, “What riot? Where? What — what violence?

“There isn’t any violence. There’s peaceful protests out there. What are you talking about? There’s no riots.” 

And they didn’t show any videotape of any of the burning and the looting and all that. 

You had to search for it yourself ’cause there isn’t any news anymore, and if you had no idea that it has happened you wouldn’t even know to go look for it ’cause you didn’t know it had happened...READ ALL!!!

Not Making Headlines - Trump Supporters Pulled Violent Protesters Away from the Capitol Building When They Started Damaging It - Who Were These People?

"Trump Supporters at the Capitol yesterday’s event in Washington DC told people to stop damaging property. 

For some reason Big Media doesn’t want to report this.

Yesterday after the President spoke in Washington, the million or so followers of the President marched to the Capitol.  

This is when some individuals in the crowd started damaging the Capitol building. 

When this occurred, the Trump supporters in the crowd starting yelling at them and telling them to stop.

American Airlines To Crack Down On Emotional Support Animals

"The upcoming change goes in line with the DOT’s decision made in December 2020 which would allow airlines under their jurisdiction to no longer be obligated to accommodate emotional support animals (ESA) from January 11, 2021.

 According to the decision, emotional support animals would no longer be considered service animals, allowing airlines to charge for ESAs and limit the size and weight of animals coming on board.

...service animals will still be allowed, but they must be a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a qualified individual with a disability. 

American Airlines will ask customers traveling with service animals to complete a DOT form attesting to the dog’s behavior, training and health...Read all.
