Horowitz: DeSantis is right: The overwhelming majority of Gaza Arabs have toxic beliefs - TheBlaze: 

How is it “tolerant” to import so many people who hate Jews that now Jewish students are afraid to show up for class?

In many respects, mass migration from the Middle East is the point of no return in the destruction of Western civilization. Unchecked political correctness now threatens our whole system of values and our very survival. It’s not like we didn’t have years of fair warning.

Stop Being Shocked—Once and for All 

• The ideas, institutions, and people that caused the collapse

"None of the horrors you are witnessing this week—

• not the massacre of Jews, 
• not the betrayal by public figures and popular activist movements, 
• not the moral insanity of our universities and cultural spaces

—happened by accident.

For the past decade, an elite consensus began to emerge. 

It was marketed as a worldview of optimism, of progress and justice brought about by the dawning of correct morality. 

It favored using the power of digital monopolies and elite institutions to reeducate Americans in new and better ways of thinking, writing, speaking, and being...

The Greta Pivot | The Pipeline

The Greta Pivot | The Pipeline - Tom Finnerty
"We've been saying it for years now -- Greta Thunberg, serial truant child activist, is getting desperate...
Consequently, Thunberg has been trying to pivot, transforming her image from the poster child for eco-anxiety to a full spectrum Leftist activist. 

Speaking in London last year, Thunberg stated that her ultimate goal is overthrowing "the whole capitalist system," which she claimed is responsible for "imperialism, oppression, genocide [and] racist, oppressive extractionism."..

Will Greta's rebranding work? It's doubtful. She's aged out of her niche, and now she's attempting to fill a role that is already occupied by scores of activists.

Deadline Detroit | After Deadline Detroit's bad cops investigation, city started hiding most officer discipline

Deadline Detroit | After Deadline Detroit's bad cops investigation, city started hiding most officer discipline - Violet Ikonomova

"In early May, a week after we published a lengthy investigation on the Detroit Police Department's struggle to hold bad cops to account, Chief James White touted his department for its transparency, noting it provided the thousands of pages of disciplinary records that underpinned our review.

• Behind the scenes, however, the city was working to shield such records from the public. 
• That same month, under the direction of a new top lawyer, Conrad Mallett, it implemented a policy that prevents the release of officer disciplinary records older than four years.

Such records helped us uncover the department's habit of letting problem officers off the hook for misconduct. 

• Documents more than four years old told us, for example, that an officer who initiated a bad chase that killed two kids and wounded three more in 2015 had been involved in another deadly chase that violated policy just six months prior. 
• The department, the records showed, did not intervene significantly either time — neither with suspension, nor with retraining...

Missouri v. Biden free speech case goes to Supreme Court - TheBlaze

Missouri v. Biden free speech case goes to Supreme Court - TheBlaze: 

"At this time in the history of our country, what the Court has done, I fear, will be seen by some as giving the Government a green light to use heavy-handed tactics to skew the presentation of views on the medium that increasingly dominates the dissemination of news," Alito wrote in a 5-page opinion. "That is most unfortunate." CBS News reported, "The case, known as Murthy v. Missouri, stems from a suit brought by five social media users and the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana. They alleged a host of federal agencies and officials coerced social media companies to suppress speech on their platforms in violation of the First Amendment."

"...Make no mistake, I never really thought they were great people. 

• The party of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation isn’t suddenly going to pull a 180 and not be monsters; it’s who they are. 
• They’ve never changed their objectives, only their tactics. 

Now, their embrace of segregation is done in the name of tolerance, of providing a “safe space” to minorities. 

But make no mistake, the end result is the same.

• That’s the thing about the left – they’ll happily tell you who they are and the horrible things they hold dear; 
• all you have to do is believe them...
