It's in VIP but the headline should give you the gist

Not the Babylon Bee

Straight White people need to  pay up.
This actually gets more insane the further you read at the link
How long before the dems embrace this in their partly platform?

I noticed that there's someone out there, oppressed by everything except intelligence, wishing to identify by the pronoun "Wakanda." For those who don't watch dumb movies, that means they demand you refer to them as a fictional nation-state.

There were some saying Wakanda would be all of Africa for real if it wasn't for White people.

The Left seems pretty serious about it, yeah. These are people that agreed with Obama not wanting his daughters to be punished with a baby.

I guess this is as good a place as any:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dhs-bulletin-heightened-threat-environment-violence

Quote
The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin Tuesday warning of a "heightened threat environment" over the next several months as they monitor both risks of domestic terrorism and foreign adversaries looking to sow discord within the U.S. to promote acts of violence.

"The United States remains in a heightened threat environment, as noted in the previous Bulletin, and several recent attacks have highlighted the dynamic and complex nature of the threat environment," DHS said in a new bulletin from the National Terrorism Advisory System.

"In the coming months, we expect the threat environment to become more dynamic as several high-profile events could be exploited to justify acts of violence against a range of possible targets," DHS said.

So things may be getting sporty . . . everywhere.

Plan accordingly.

At least this time they seemed to somewhat allude to leftist terrorism as well, having mentioned church attacks. Though maybe they just mean mosques.

Democrats' problems with messaging stem from the fact that they are "out-gunned" because "conservative media dwarfs the progressive media in size and scope."

Fathers Day is too painful, so if you want, you can opt out of emails that mention it so you don't have a nervous breakdown. No mention of Mothers Day, so I guess it's just the patriarchy again.

These people need a portable fainting couch that they can carry around with them.

"Conservative" media has been more effective and has a more dedicated listener/viewer base.  These people consider Fox News to be conservative and Fox has been leading the news ratings by a lot as leftists don't watch their own side's news.  Leftists dominate most other TV news and most all newspapers, but a lot of that is "old media".  Were it not for the active suppression by youtube/google, I think conservative leaning channels online would be dominating, if the are not anyway. 

BUT, that is looking at results not looking at what the left controls as far as media which is considerable.  If many of them weren't such hard left communists, they would probably be doing better.

Another thing to consider is that A LOT of "local" news media, while not coming off as left-leaning, are filled with AP, Reuters, etc. stories rather than local reporting on issues. They thus become de facto left-biased. The bigger local and state print news where I live seem to almost have more AP stories than local stories. And the ABC, CBS, and NBC news affiliates pretty much verbatim report on national news however their corporate owners tell them to.

Politico thought that this would make a good headline (bolding mine):

Quote
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling this month hobbling the Biden administration’s efforts to rein in climate change — but its impact could weaken the executive branch's power to oversee wide swaths of American life

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
