These twin virtues hold that all cultures are equal when they’re clearly not, and therefore all cultural practices and concomitant values are also equal and entitled to respect and automatically accepted and adopted as part of our core values without scrutiny, comment, judgement or criticism.
It’s five minutes to midnight and the West continues to hit the snooze button — America Under Siege
This is a MUST watch. As is pointed out towards the end, the unholy alliance of the radical left and Islam were on a glide path to achieving their goal and then Trump bolstered by middle America arrived on the scene. This is why the left in America is so angry and outraged. And I fear it’s going to get a whole lot uglier and angrier still.
The ugly left is getting even uglier
Great ad for Le Pen. This is the ANTIFA crowd (anti-fascist) behaving like thugs, goons and um, err, well, what they say they’re against. Fascists.
Cultural Feminism Betrays Women — Quadrant Online

Unemployment in France is 10 per cent. Youth unemployment is over 23%. The ratio of government debt to GDP is running at 96% and the budget is in deficit by about 3.5%.

Forget the fake patriotism and get working on debt — Jennifer Oriel, The Australian
Numerous polls demonstrate Australians’ desire for debt reduction and fiscal repair.
