St Louis Post Dispatch – by Kevin McDermott

With five written words Thursday morning, one of Missouri’s most controversial state lawmakers spawned a U.S. Secret Service investigation, potentially endangered her own political career — and flung St. Louis squarely into the middle of America’s raging racial-political debate in the wake of the unrest in Charlottesville, Va.

“I hope Trump is assassinated!” Missouri state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, wrote during a morning Facebook exchange, referring to Republican President Donald Trump.   Continue reading “Missouri’s top Democrats call for senator to resign for ‘I hope Trump is assassinated’ post”

A young boy went up to his father and asked him, ‘Dad, what is the difference between ‘potentially’ and ‘realistically’ ?’

The father thought for a moment, then answered, ‘Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars.

Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a Million dollars, and then ask your brother if he’d sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that.’   Continue reading “The difference between ‘potentially’ and ‘realistically’”

“To believe in God is impossible.
Not to believe in Him is absurd.”

—Voltaire

This seemingly contradicting statement is in fact not at all a contradiction. But to rationalize its meaning, one must understand gender as it applies to grammar and language. Please allow me to extrapolate this French Enlightenment author’s apparent conflict as what is likely the same thought process as most rational people out there would likely agree upon.   Continue reading “The True Intent Behind Counter-Cultural Gender Neutralization”

Is it OK to punch a Nazi in the face?

That’s the question animating much of the discussion of Saturday’s white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which quickly devolved into a brawl between rally-goers and a contingent of anti-fascist counterprotesters known as antifa. Following the clashes, a white supremacist rammed his car into the counterprotest, killing Heather Heyer, 32.

Leaders and activists across the spectrum — except President Donald Trump — have unequivocally condemned the racist, anti-Semitic rally. But they are divided on whether physically attacking white supremacists is justified simply because they are white supremacists.   Continue reading “Antifa: The Group That Fought White Supremacists In Charlottesville”

We cut the statue below the knees within minutes,” a Hungarian student said, recalling the exciting scene in October 1956 at Varosliget, Budapest’s version of Central Park, where 200,000 Hungarian rebels shouted “Russians go home!” while felling Joseph Stalin’s 25-meter idol to the ground.

The bronze sculpture’s collapse, the disembodiment of its head and the mutilation of its body memorably sparked the bloody anti-Soviet uprising that shook the world.  Continue reading “Middle Israel: Who Moved My Statue?”

The JC – by Colin Shindler

One hundred years ago in August 1917, the London Gazette published an official announcement that “a Jewish regiment” had been established. Based on the international regiments of small oppressed nations in Europe that had fought in foreign armies against great empires during the 19th century, it heralded the Israel Defence Force in 1948. Its formation marked the success of attempts by Chaim Weizmann and Vladimir Jabotinsky to symbolise the rebirth of a Jewish nation.  Continue reading “Birth of a fighting force for Zionism”

The Israeli government is at it again. The Zionist settler state is currently laying the groundworkfor a justification of military aggression against Syria over flimsy claims that Iran is building a scud missile factory in Lattakia.

Israel claims that satellite photos allegedly taken by its EROS-B satellite show the construction of the Scud missile factory. The location is allegedly near Lattakia near the coastline.  Continue reading “Israel Claims Iran Is Building A Missile Factory In Syria, Builds Excuses For Strike Against Assad”
