Young Australians have been 'brainwashed' into 'believing in the benefits of socialism"!

"Sky News host Rowan Dean says the “real tragedy in Australia” over the last two decades is that governments “sat idly by as young Australians had been brainwashed into believing in the supposed benefits of socialism”.
“Over what they have been repeatedly taught are the evils of small government and free market capitalism,” he said."

Oberlin College pays bakery it called 'racist' over $36 million after years-long defamation lawsuit | Fox News

Oberlin College in Ohio has paid out over $36 million to Gibson’s Bakery and Food Mart after years of attempting to overturn a jury decision that the college had defamed the local business.

In 2016, Allyn Gibson, the son of Gibson’s Bakery and Food Mart owners David Gibson and Allyn Gibson, chased and tackled a Black student who was suspected of stealing a bottle of wine on Nov. 9, 2016. Two students at Oberlin College, who are also Black and were friends with the student who stole the bottle, got involved in the incident, which became physical.

Why Are Communists Determined to Destroy the US? - American Thinker - By Bruce Deitrick Price
  • To fight pornography in the schools, a Texas housewife recently appeared at a school board meeting. She lectured the officials: "I do not want my children to learn about anal sex in middle school. ... I want you to start focusing on education, not public health."
Education, as we'll see, is the first refuge of scoundrels...
...The big point is, Marxist intellectuals pretend to seek truth and wisdom. 
Nonsense. 
  • For them, politics is war
  • They are seeking your weak spots so they can destroy you.
  • As a result, communism is everywhere in our society, attacking, attacking, attacking. 
  • A few decades back, communism operated under the title "political correctness." 
  • Now it maneuvers under the title "woke." 
...These fanatics never take a day off. 
They won't be happy until you're unhappy.
Mark Levin summarized the saga best: "Democrats are hellbent on destroying our country."

United Nations Finally Boots Iran From Women's Rights Commission

United Nations Finally Boots Iran From Women's Rights Commission
"The United Nations voted Wednesday to immediately remove Iran from the U.N.'s Commission on the Status of Women, an insane position for the tyrannical country to ever have been granted by the global body. 
...The countries voting against removing Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women were:
  • Bolivia
  • China
  • Kazakhstan
  • Nicaragua
  • Nigeria
  • Oman
  • Russia
  • Zimbabwe


The United States pursued the successful resolution after women in Iran called on the free world to remove Iran from the women's rights commission it had no business being on, especially after the regime's "morality police" ratcheted up its violent oppression of Iranian women, girls, and dissenters.

The White House — which continues to get rolled by Iran in negotiations that would again allow the tyrannical regime to more freely participate in the world economy — took a victory lap on the removal of Iran from the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women. Biden's National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement that the "United States is working with our allies and partners around the world to hold Iran accountable for the abuses it is committing against its own people, notably peaceful protesters, women and girls, and the violence it is enabling against the Ukrainian people, as well as its destabilizing actions throughout the Middle East region."

Ex-Twitter Manager Slapped With Three-Year Prison Sentence For Spying For Saudi Arabia | The Daily Caller

A former manager at Twitter, convicted of spying for Saudi Arabia, was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison on Wednesday, U.S. prosecutors said. Ahmad Abouammo, who provided a Saudi official with user information in exchange for a $42,000 watch and a pair of $100,000 wire transfers, received 3.5 years in prison despite prosecutors originally pushing for seven years, according to Reuters. Abouammo was found guilty of spying and money laundering on behalf of the Saudi Arabian government, and using his position at Twitter to acquire information about Twitter users for the Saudi Royal Family in August.
