"ISIS" At the Eurovision: An Israeli Spoof

What a Joke! Chick Who Will Be Investigating Labour Party Jew-Hate Has Just Joined the Labour Party

An independent investigation this ain't.

What Was China's Cultural Revolution?

It had nothing to do with "culture." It was a bloodbath perpetrated, at least initially, by indoctrinated Mao kids who were following the orders of their revered, power-mad leader; later on, these same students were rubbed out. 

This CBC radio doc provides a good summary of the horrors that unfolded for the sake of re-empowering a sociopathic tyrant.

"Japanese artist Rokudenashiko poses with her kayak, made with a 3-D printer using a mold of her vagina."

Love the Visual, Ed

This one:


BTW, I read the book. It's billed as a "satire" (and is called "mordantly funny" here), but it seemed entirely and grimly plausible to me.

It's the Authoritarianism, Stupid

Don’t Blame Sykes-Picot for the Middle East Mess

Netanyahu Says Iran Planning Second Holocaust While Mocking First

That pretty much sums it up, I'd say.

Ladies and Gents, Er, Sorry, Make That Gender-Fluid People, There's a New Winner of the Victimhood Sweepstakes

In case you've been sleeping, it's those testy "trans" folks (all, what?, 0.2% of 'em):

[W]e have learned that the trans movement trumps feminism, just as Europe’s reaction to the mass Muslim sexual assaults this New Year’s Eve revealed that multiculturalism trumps feminism. Given the constant caterwauling about “rape culture” by campus feminists, one would have thought that feminists would have opposed allowing males’ use of facilities frequented by unclothed or otherwise vulnerable females. But apparently the claim that college campuses are awash in serial “rapists” waxes and wanes in salience depending on context. It now becomes merely another sign of redneck bigotry to suggest that a heterosexual male (i.e., a rapist in waiting) or a sexual pervert may take advantage of the new trans rules. Wellesley and Smith colleges have twisted themselves into knots deciding whether the “trans” category trumps the favored status of females. They concluded that being trans cancels the disability of being male and in fact elevates the trans “female” to the highest rank on the victim totem pole.

That would mean that "trans" trumps Muslim, which, clearly, it does not.

NYT "Think Piece" Asks: "Why Are the Highly Educated So Liberal"

An incomplete question, I think. The one I'd like answered is "why are so many highly educated liberals so stupid?"

15 Young Americans Who've Heeded Jihad's Siren Call and Joined ISIS: Multicultural But Uni-Religious

In essence, that's what the young'uns who hail from a "broad strata of society" (remember that one?) have in common.

Trump = Obama

Something that should be--but, alas, isn't--obvious to all.
