The College Fix – by Jennifer Kabbany

When Antifa scholar Mark Bray, known for advocating political violence, gave a guest lecture in September at Bucknell University on the eve of the 9/11 anniversary, it was met with little resistance.

The talk was hosted by the Humanities Center and largely welcomed on campus. A few wary scholars did not object to his speech, only how he was championed by organizers “as some kind of morally serious person courageously challenging evil.”  Continue reading “Blacklisting, vandalism, picket line: Outrage erupts at Bucknell ahead of Heather Mac Donald talk”

A large hole now stands where, only one day earlier, two homes were torn to the ground by Israeli air strikes. Looking over the debris, dozens of relatives and neighbours gathered to remember the eight members of the al-Sawarka family, who were killed in the attack.

The two adjacent shabby houses with tin ceilings were located in a marginalised area of the Deir al-Balah refugee camp on the southern Gaza Strip.  Continue reading “‘All that’s left are their school uniforms’: Israeli air strike kills eight Palestinian relatives”

Hours after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Wednesday blocked a resolution that would have condemned the Armenian genocide of 1915.

Graham stated he blocked the resolution because he did not want the Senate to “sugarcoat history or try to rewrite it.” Whatever its other merits or drawbacks might be, condemning the Armenian genocide would seem to be the opposite of sugarcoating history. Graham’s office did not respond to a request from Fox News for elaboration of the senator’s thinking.  Continue reading “Lindsey Graham Blocks Recognition of Armenian Genocide After Meeting with Turkey’s Erdogan”

Cross-border transmissions of African swine fever is becoming a significant issue across Asia.

Just last week, we warned about China exporting the hog-killing disease to Russia. Now it appears North Korea, a country that borders China, has already exported the virus to South Korea.  Continue reading “South Korea Slaughters 380,000 Pigs After China’s Pig Ebola Crosses Border”

It has stood in this spot near Bethlehem longer than Christianity and Islam, since before the time of the prophets of the Holy Land.

Circling slowly round this ancient olive tree, Salah Abu Ali carefully inspects every inch of it, before settling back on his chair in its shade.  Continue reading “This Olive Tree in Bethlehem Has Stood for 5,000 Years – and this Man Is Defending It”

Breitbart – by Pam Key

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s special coverage of the shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, CA, former President Bill Clinton told President Donald Trump to ignore impeachment and pass gun control.

Commenting on when the Republican-controlled House impeached him in 1998, Clinton said, “Look at how much we got done in 1998 and 1999 and even in ‘97. We had very productive actions in all three years. The only really tough year we had after the Republicans won the Congress, was ‘95 to the beginning of ‘96—when they shut the government down twice. Once the public rendered judgment on what they thought should be done, I kept working with them. That’s just an excuse.”  Continue reading “Bill Clinton to Trump: Ignore Impeachment, Pass Gun Control Now — ‘You Got Hired to Do a Job’”

A U.S. Secret Service study examining school shootings between 2008 and 2017 shows that all shooters “exhibited concerning behaviors” prior to carrying out their attacks.

The study shows, “All attackers exhibited concerning behaviors. Most elicited concern from others, and most communicated their intent to attack.” Moreover, “Most of the attackers communicated a prior threat to their target or communicated their intentions to carry out an attack.”  Continue reading “Secret Service: School Shooters Exhibit ‘Concerning Behavior’ Before Attacking”

Disney’s new streaming service includes trigger warnings on old movies that caution the viewer about “outdated cultural depictions.”

Baton Rouge, LA — A mother has been grieving the loss of her baby for nearly two years after an off-duty cop—recklessly driving 94 mph—smashed into her car, killing her daughter and injuring all the other occupants. Now, after this officer took the life of her child, prosecutors announced that officer Christopher Manuel won’t receive so much as a speeding ticket for driving nearly twice the posted speed limit and killing a baby.  Continue reading “No Charges, Not Even a Ticket for Off-Duty Cop Driving 94 Mph Before Crash that Killed a Baby”

I just keep tripping on how dumb this latest US-backed military coup is. It’s in Bolivia in case you’ve lost track, which would be perfectly understandable since US-backed coups have become kind of like US mass shootings — there’s so many of them they’re starting to blend into each other.  Continue reading ““No No You Guys, THIS US-Backed Military Coup Is Perfectly Legitimate!””
