Apocalypse in South Africa

How bad is the violence in South Africa? It’s even worse than Chicago: Crowds looted shops and offices in South Africa on Wednesday, defying government calls to end a week of violence that has killed more than 70 people and wrecked hundreds of businesses. The unrest, the worst in South Africa for years, also disrupted […]

England Soccer: ‘Get Woke, Go Broke’?

This is a subject that I am loath to raise because (a) I don’t know a lot about contemporary England, (b) I don’t understand soccer strategy, and (c) this involves accusations of RAAAAACISM!

[…]

We’re not talking mere prejudice here, but murderous, genocidal hate, the kind of atavistic rage that makes you want to fire hundreds of rockets at Israeli civilians. If you’ve got that kind […]

Hunter Biden’s Beijing Honey Trap

Remember when the media spent three years chasing the “Russian collusion” narrative and then Democrats impeached President Trump because of what he said in a phone call with the president of Ukraine? If they were really serious about foreign interference in American politics, the media would be leading every broadcast with this story: Hunter Biden’s […]
