The Massachusetts Muslim Protection Racket
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 8/4/2026 7:35:25 AM
There are a lot of ways to describe what this proposed Massachusetts bill is, but I don't think 'diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)' is precisely what I would use, as some other major outlets are. I think it's much too sinister for a thoroughly discredited, despicable concept that's hopefully in its death throes while being relentlessly driven from business, academia, and government at all levels. Most DEI proponents have either gone to ground or given it grudgingly, faced with the overwhelming backlash against the inherent unfairness of something built on a false pretext of that very thing - fairness. Not to mention, amazingly enough, the lucrative cottage industry

In Northern Ireland, there have been recent protests about the numbers of Muslim migrants being allowed to settle in the territory, and about their placement in public housing ahead of the indigenous poor. Now someone in Northern Ireland has chosen to express his fury at this state of affairs by setting alight an effigy of an Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist and his mosque. For thus expressing his view, he has been charged with “incitement to hatred.” And that has caused quite a stir. More on the resulting uproar can be found here.

New York Democratic congressman Josh Riley's father-in-law cofounded an institute at a Chinese government-controlled university that routinely boosts the Chinese Communist Party's Belt and Road Initiative, a massive international economic strategy aimed at bringing foreign nations closer to Beijing and further from the United States, a Washington Free Beacon review found. Riley himself attended at least three of the group's events and later voted against legislation targeting Chinese influence peddling in the United States.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he’s desperately seeking a legal loophole to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes when he visits in NYC in September.
The Pro-Palestine, Israel-hating, socialist pol said in an interview published Saturday that it’s unclear whether he has the authority to order the NYPD to arrest Netanyahu during the prime minister’s expected trip to the Big Apple for the U.N. General Assembly – but is in an “active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about the matter.
“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani bluntly told The New York Times, referring to the United Nation’s International Court of Justice.
Airlines are warning that changes to existing practices around Daylight Saving Time (DST) would have a major impact on the industry and that changes would need to be implemented over time to account for challenges it would create for scheduling. Airlines for America (A4A), a trade group that represents leading air carriers in the U.S., released a statement this week which warned that changes to DST "would have considerable implications for aviation, including passenger disruption, crew and aircraft positioning, and domestic and international connectivity issues."
"Airlines operate expansive interconnected domestic and global networks that are reliant on stability and predictability. Any changes would need an implementation timeline that reflects these global
Olive Garden guards its unlimited pasta with a photo ID that many American voters are never asked to show at the polls.
The comparison took off after Olive Garden addressed its Never-Ending Pasta Pass in a July 16 post on X. The chain wrote that the pass belongs only to the customer named on it, cannot be handed to anyone else, and requires a valid photo ID when the holder orders. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller seized on the rule. “We’ve reached a point in society where access to fettuccine at Olive Garden is vastly more secure than deciding who is Commander-in-Chief of the country,” Miller said

Changes for Customers Angry Over Trump's
New Airport 23 replies
United Airlines is offering free flight changes to customers who don’t want to fly into Florida’s newly renamed airport, honoring President Trump, according to an internal memo. The guidance issued by the airline appears aimed at customers who are offended by the renaming of Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J. Trump International Airport, and wish to travel to another airport for that reason alone. "If a customer does not want to fly to the airport, use your empowerment to offer acceptable alternatives such as Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) or Miami International Airport (MIA)," the memo reads.
United Airlines denied how the memo was interpreted,
The State Department is considering requiring some green card applicants to hand over thousands of dollars in the Trump administration’s latest bid to ensure new arrivals to the US can support themselves.
Some officials have floated making would-be legal permanent residents submit a $100,000 bond if applying at a US consulate overseas, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Others said the deposit amount could fluctuate depending on individual cases.Green card holders would likely be repaid upon becoming US citizens, a process that takes at least five years.
“President Trump has made clear that those who wish to immigrate to the United States must be financially self-sufficient,”
Anthony Fauci thinks Biden’s last-minute “autopen” pardon is his golden parachute.
But he could be very, very wrong.
In reality, that so-called pardon might turn out to be a pair of golden handcuffs instead. Americans have sat back and watched Fauci play a lot of games. He’s dodged, danced, redefined words, split a lot of hairs, and acted like the rest of the country (and the world) was way too stupid to understand what really went down during the COVID circus. He became the face of the “pandemic” response, and according to the media and liberals, he was the patron saint of “trust the science.”

Big Brother has a name, it's Gavin Newsom, and he's coming to inspect the trash of California residents.
Starting this month, Sacramento is sending city workers out to peer into residents' garbage, recycling, and organic waste bins, all in the name of complying with a mandate from Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.). The California legislature passed the law behind this intrusion, SB 1383, in 2016, and it took effect in 2022. The stated goal was to cut organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025 to reduce methane emissions and slow climate change. Is it working? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? That’s why Sacramento apparently decided the best way to find out
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) hosted a Marxist, virulently anti-Israel conference last weekend which openly celebrated terrorism, introduced fledgling activists to "the growing BDS movement," and called on its members to support Iran’s "axis of resistance" and prepare for violence against the United States and Israel. "We are all here to toughen our knuckles," Ryan Delaney, chair of communications for Jacksonville Palestine Solidarity Network, told attendees at the conclusion of events Saturday.
"I hope that everybody leaves here ready to fight when they get home," he told roughly 200 cheering attendees.
Sara Flounders, a member of the Secretariat of the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party, thundered to the crowd
CARLISLE, Pa. — Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pleaded with defense contractors to “go faster” as fears grow that the country’s stockpile of weapons is dangerously low after a series of attacks on Iran.
“What I need you to know — and I know this is simple for me to say but hard to do — but go faster, please, go faster, think bolder,” he told the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit.
“We all need to deliver quality weapons, delivered on time with shortage of lead times and lower costs,” he said. Defense contractors gathered at the US Army War College to discuss

Gov. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., announced that she has restored voting rights to 66,085 Virginians who had prior felony convictions.
Virginia’s constitution doesn't allow convicted felons to vote after serving their sentences unless a governor restores their voting rights.
“I’m proud that — after contending with my predecessor’s efforts to deny Virginians their fundamental rights — we have restored the rights of more than 66,000 Virginians who have served their time,” Spanberger said in a statement. “These Virginians deserve the right to use their vote, make their voices heard, and be recognized as contributing citizens to our Commonwealth and country.”
Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” former Vice President Mike Pence said it is time for President Donald Trump to “unleash” the military to “finish the job” in Iran.
Host Bill Hemmer said, “I want to ask you about Iran. We had a Fox poll that came out about two weeks ago. We asked the question on the ultimate outcome with Iran. The U.S. will reach what good deal, bad deal or no deal. And 48% said no deal. What’s your view?”
Pence said, “Well, I have more confidence in President Trump than that. I think the Iranians should be very wary at this moment. Look, I strongly supported

after leaving the show twice and clashing
with Whoopi Goldberg 20 replies
The View alumna Rosie O'Donnell announced this week that she will return to the show for the upcoming 30th anniversary special.
O'Donnell, 64, served as a host of the daytime program twice, first from 2006 to 2007 and then from 2014 to 2015, and left each time after a single season.
During her tenures, she developed a reputation for clashes with her fellow panelists Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Whoopi Goldberg.
Now she has confirmed: 'I will go on the 30th anniversary next year and be on in whatever way they want me, just as a guest,' on the podcast The Tangle.
Rosie O’Donnell recently opened up, candidly speaking about the possibility of hosting a new streaming show, America’s love for nostalgia, the death of celebrity culture, how she could bring back hope, and why she won’t return to the small screen while Donald Trump is still in the White House. (snip)
Of course, there is one major caveat: “It would be when Trump is no longer in power. That’s when I would want to start. And that’s really when the healing must begin. The healing must begin in this country. And if I could be in any way part of that, I would be very, very happy.”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is moving way past irony and taking things to an entirely new level: Lie-rony.
Mamdani recently blew away political observers with his proposal to have government-backed grocery stores.
New Yorkers will soon enjoy a 30 percent discount on their meat, seafood, milk, and bread — so long as they shop at a city-owned store. [snip]Now, we come to the hitch in Mamdani's program: You've got to present a government ID proving residency in order for the government to recognize your "human right" to grocery prices that are 30 percent below retail.

'Murder Victims' in New Letter to Trump 13 replies
You remember Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA). He's the former governor of Virginia who's now the commonwealth's junior senator. He's a Catholic who loves abortion. He'd like to nuke the Second Amendment. And the more illegal aliens in the U.S., the happier he is.
Oh, and he was Hillary Clinton's vice presidential pick back in 2016. As one of his constituents, I like to think of him as Tim "Jazz Hands" Walz 1.0 – Tim Kaine was "weird, white beta male trying to be normal, but failing miserably" before his party and the "other Tim" made it popular. (X) Quite the pair, those two.

Old habits die hard. At least that is the case for our Supreme Court’s Justice Neil Gorsuch, who persists in repeating the erroneous narrative that America was founded as religiously neutral. In a July 24th interview with PBS’ Margaret Hoover, Gorsuch gave his interpretation of the American founding, denying America was founded as a Christian nation:
“We were never supposed to be a nation that was about one race or one religion … It was about those ideas [in the Declaration of Independence] … We have a First Amendment, for crying out loud. No established religion.”
Why Republicans May Defy Midterm History
13 replies
As the midterms loom, the commentariat is confidently predicting that the Republican House majority is all but doomed. It is of course true that history does not portend a victorious outcome for the GOP. The president’s party almost always loses House seats in midterm elections. Yet history has been confounded more than once during the Trump era. There are factors at play this year that may save the GOP majority. The Republicans enjoy a 2-to-1 cash advantage over the Democrats (snip) and the same people who orchestrated President Trump’s historic 2024 victory are managing the party’s midterm strategy.

So New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has a solution to the obvious problems of his free government groceries going out the door to speculators and out-of-staters who can buy and can resell the discounted foods at a profit.
Here he is: The July 27 exchange, transcribed by Grok and me:
Q: How you gonna keep people from taking advantage of that deal basically, and is there going to be a limit on the number of items that someone can take that are discounted at that level from that essential basket?
Republican US Senator Darline Graham (R-SC) came out in favor of nuking the filibuster to get the SAVE Act passed.
Graham, the sister of former Senator Lindsey Graham, came out in support of the SAVE Act and says she is in favor of eliminating the senate filibuster to get it to pass. Darline made the comments during the South Carolina Republican US Senate debate.
Graham added that Democrats will abolish the filibuster if they take control of the US Senate anyway.
What a breath of fresh air.
Look, we all know that Francesca Hong is nuttier than a fruitcake that is filled with nausea-inducing berries, but as she enters the home stretch before the August 11th primary, not to mention the soon-to-be-kicked-off general election, you would think she would want to consolidate the vote in her own party and start making herself look acceptable to Independent voters.
Nope, she intends to finish strong, if by strong you mean leaning into everything the most radical voters in the state love about her and emphasizing everything that scares the
Calling the WNBA’s Bluff [Updated]
10 replies
Something like 80% of Americans oppose allowing men to play in women’s sports leagues. That is, after all, the entire point of having women’s divisions and leagues–women play against other women, not against men.
For a sports organization like the Women’s National Basketball Association to come out in favor of allowing men (“trans women”) to play in their league is the height of perversity. If men could play in the WNBA, there soon would be no women left and no purpose to the league. And yet, multiple WNBA coaches and others associated with the league have come out in favor of letting men play. I can think of no reason
