I thought the hunt for male scalps was over. That the days of ruining men with flimsy allegations had faded into the rear view.
I was wrong.
Another man is being #MeTooed out of existence — accused, convicted in the public square, soon to be canceled without a trial or so much as a finished kangaroo investigation. All because he pulled a pony tail or two, draped his arm around ladies without first obtaining explicit consent. Guilty — of being an old-fashioned flirt.(Snip) some women felt uncomfortable and he crossed a line.’’ I’m not even sure where that line exists, or why the complainer didn’t simply tell Murray to “cut it out.”

In 2017, Steven Crowder, a conservative activist and host of a popular YouTube channel, infiltrated Antifa with his producer.
Weeks before a speaking engagement by Ben Shapiro at the University of Utah—an event Antifa planned to disrupt violently—Crowder worked his way into the group through the use of burner phones and encrypted chats. Crowder secretly recorded discussions between Antifa thugs promising to use “plain clothes and hard tactics” to shut down Shapiro’s speech on September 28, 2017. This included distributing weapons such as ice picks, combat knives, and guns.(Snip)The FBI, Crowder said, didn’t express any interest in capturing the perpetrators, which Crowder found “odd.”

Evanston–Skokie School District 65 has adopted a radical gender curriculum that teaches pre-kindergarten through third-grade students to celebrate the transgender flag, break the “gender binary” established by white “colonizers,” and experiment with neo-pronouns such as “ze,” “zir,” and “tree.” (Snip) In kindergarten, the lessons on gender and trans identity go deeper. “When we show whether we feel like a boy or a girl or some of each, we are expressing our GENDER IDENTITY,” the lesson begins. “There are also children who feel like a girl AND a boy; or like neither a boy OR a girl. We can call these children TRANSGENDER.”

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is openly lobbying The Walt Disney Co. to relocate its theme park from Orlando to his state over what he calls “authoritarian socialist attacks” from the Republican Party. “Florida’s authoritarian socialist attacks on the private sector are driving businesses away,” the Democratic governor tweeted on Tuesday.
“In CO, we don’t meddle in affairs of companies like @Disney or @Twitter.”

At Easter, the four-star hotel close to Britain’s most popular theme park, Legoland, is usually full of holidaymakers.
Visitors rave about the spa and the swimming pool plus the fact that it’s a short hop to Windsor Castle, Ascot racecourse and the moorings of river Thames pleasure boats.
But this weekend, the Holiday Inn in Maidenhead, Berkshire, was closed to tourists, outraging Britons who were hoping to stay there. It is now the home of migrants (Snip) Duncan Sharkey, chief executive of the local council, said he had recently been informed by the Home Office that the Holiday Inn would be used for ‘the foreseeable’ future to accommodate migrants ‘claiming sanctuary’.

Urbana - Candidates for promotion and tenure at the University of Illinois will have to submit a one-page summary of their on-the-job contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion come fall 2025.
Officials believe the UI to be one of the first — if not the first — “research 1” university to explicitly implement a diversity, equity and inclusion requirement into the formal faculty promotion process. (Snip) The justification for the statement is to incentivize faculty as early as possible to do societally impactful work, said Bill Bernhard, executive vice provost for academic affairs.

However this era of angry polarization, crime and violence ends, it will be left to historians to decipher how America got so far off track. Instead of building on our unprecedented prosperity and role as the world’s ultimate superpower, we declared war — cultural, political and social — on each other. Even our nation’s Founders are not spared. (Snip) Two recent developments illustrate how that campaign remains a radioactive hot spot. With both developments centering on Hillary Clinton, they underscore her role and the depths of her venality.
Just when you think you’ve seen the worst of her, proof emerges that she was even more duplicitous than we knew.

As part of its ongoing LGBTQ+ Equity study month this April, an Illinois school district has suggested that Pre-K students “identify the colors in the rainbow flag” and “participate in making” their own “rainbow and/or trans pride flag,” according to curriculum materials reviewed by The Daily Wire.
District 65, located in Evanston, Illinois, has dedicated a significant portion of the academic year to “equity weeks.” (Snip)During BLM month in February, the district presented slides on being a “Transgender ally” that told special needs kids they may choose to be “a boy or girl or both or neither, or something else”

Tema Bauer made delicious kreplach, borscht, chicken matzoh ball soup and mandel bread.
Everyone wanted second helpings of her cinnamon-scented kugel and apple slices. (Snip) At times, Mrs. Bauer needed a little help lifting a heavy pot. A Holocaust survivor, she’d lost most of her right arm in an explosion at a factory in Leipzig, Germany, where she and other slave laborers were forced to make munitions during World War II. (Snip) Two months after she lost her arm, she and other women laborers were ordered on a six-day death march toward the Elbe River. “We were eating the grass, the dirty grass, from the fields,” Mrs. Bauer said

The kids may be back in school, but they are not all right.
Early childhood educators say that post-pandemic preschoolers and kindergarteners are struggling with behavior issues, emotional resilience, motor skill development and language acquisition after spending their formative years wearing masks, distance learning and having limited social interactions.
“Students are having extreme difficulty with the structure of the school day: following directions, sitting in their seat for hours, working independently, being quiet and even sharing space with other students,” Vanessa Brancato, 30, who teaches preschool
