"Donald Trump’s attendance at Game 4 of the 2021 World Series has naturally generated a lot of buzz. ...But the real story came when Trump was seen doing the “Tomahawk Chop” during the game..
Before the game even started, Dave Zirin, sports editor for The Nation, wrote that “Donald Trump is traveling to the World Series just so he can be filmed doing the tomahawk chop.” “But if you state the obvious: that this all carries the stench of a white supremacist photo op, you’re being divisive,” Zirin moaned.
CNN legal analyst Shanlon Wu also claims to believe that doing the “racist gesture” was the only reason Trump wanted to attend the game.
Disgraced leftist commentator Keith Olbermann reached a similar conclusion.
Countless other triggered liberals accused Trump of racism and white supremacy on social media for participating in the chop...Read all.

Ted Cruz Drops Dems After Accused of 'Defending Nazis.' - Louder With Crowder: Ted Cruz gave Merrick Garland a proctology exam live on C-SPAN. It was glorious to watch.

"Cruz makes a point about non-violent speech" gets turned in to "Johnny and the Mothers saw Ted Cruz give Merrick Garland the nazi salute." It usually starts with a lying leftist nincompoop. This time it's Aaron Rupar.
Ben Shapiro’s Latest Tour de Force Exposes Who Is Behind America’s Authoritarian Moment
Remember when they deplatformed Parler, accused American grandmas of insurrection, and digitally silenced the president of the United States?
Remember how they did all of this after Black Lives Matter and antifa rioted for months and radical mayors and prosecutors refused to lock them up?
Remember how academia, corporate America, and even the military suddenly stepped out of the shadows and pushed the exact same racist theory, all pushing the lie that America is racist at the same time radicals across the country were attacking statues of our founders and even President Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant?
It all felt so snapped in place, so tightly coordinated.
What if it was? That was all just seven months ago.

"European witch hunts of the 15th to 17th centuries targeted witches that were thought to be responsible for epidemics and crop failures related to declining temperatures of the Little Ice Age.
A belief that evil humans were negatively affecting the climate and weather patterns was the “consensus” opinion of that time.
How eerily similar is that notion to the the current oft-repeated mantra that Man’s actions are controlling the climate and leading to catastrophic consequences? The first extensive European witch hunts coincided with plunging temperatures as the continent transitioned away from the beneficial warmth of the Medieval Warm Period (850 to 1250 AD).
...It appears that we haven’t learned the lessons of the 16th century and the dangers of stirring unfounded fears concerning changes to our climate. Perhaps in the not too distant future we will have the benefit of hindsight and realize...the natural cycles of the Sun and Earth that are operating today, just as they have for many millions of years...Read all.
