Activists get LGBT charity pride event canceled over organizer's unrelated conservative views

Activists get LGBT charity pride event canceled over organizer's unrelated conservative views

On one side of the debate over gay and lesbian issues, you have the intolerant religious bigots, and on the other side, you have the tolerant, open-minded liberals. Just kidding.As if we needed more proof that the left-wing gay and lesbian movement has been corrupted by an intolerance of its own, a new scandal in Britain proves it once and for all. As by the Daily Mail, organizer Charlie Shakespeare had put together a “Virtual Pride” fundraising event to raise money for charity in place of traditional in-person gay pride month celebrations. However, it was canceled and subjected to a...

Childish debate fights aren't so bad compared to the disaster court-packing would be

Childish debate fights aren't so bad compared to the disaster court-packing would be

Tuesday night’s presidential debate was a hot mess.President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden bickered, fought, and insulted each other — highlights included, “Would you shut up, man?” and “There’s nothing smart about you.” But don’t let the shambolic conduct of both candidates and messy nature of the debate distract you from an important development: Joe Biden was given chance after chance to disavow dangerous left-wing proposals to pack the Supreme Court, and he refused to do so.Debate moderator Chris Wallace specifically asked Biden if he would support packing the...

LGBT support for Trump on the rise in narrative-busting poll

LGBT support for Trump on the rise in narrative-busting poll

President Trump’s left-wing critics .No, I’m not exaggerating.President Alphonso David has that Trump, the first president to enter office supportive of gay marriage, is the “worst president on LGBTQ issues ever.” That’s right: The man who runs the biggest left-wing gay and transgender rights organization in the country actually thinks that Trump is more anti-gay than presidents were 200 years ago.Meanwhile, prominent top left-wing activists in the gay and transgender community argue that for gay and transgender voters, electing Joe Biden in November is a matter of life and death.“LGBTQ...

America can't go back to work yet because Congress made it pay more to stay home

America can't go back to work yet because Congress made it pay more to stay home

The current coronavirus crisis has been a unique one in that given the social distancing public health guidance, the federal government is actually trying to keep people home by design. So, it’s not exactly surprising that Congress’s $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill, rushed through to “do something,” has resulted in many workers getting paid more in unemployment benefits to stay home than they would normally be earning at their jobs. This was kind of the point.But a few Republicans, such as Sens. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Tim Scott of South Carolina, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina,...

Studies show mounting deaths and mental health harm from shutdown

Studies show mounting deaths and mental health harm from shutdown

A cost-benefit analysis has defined the debate over the coronavirus lockdown from the very beginning. And now, just as critics of the lockdown predicted, we’re starting to see serious costs emerge that weren’t fully considered by shutdown proponents, both in the form of deaths from economic despair and in the societal mental health impact of long-term isolation.Some proponents of the shut-everything-down approach falsely framed the issue as a question of lives versus GDP, profits, or stock prices. In reality, the economy is itself a matter of life and death — and a .A blockbuster from the...

Joe Biden’s Trojan horse presidency

Joe Biden’s Trojan horse presidency

Joe Biden was elected president after a campaign rooted in rhetoric emphasizing unity, moderation, and compromise. But with every day that passes, the veneer of centrism that got him elected over rivals such as Sen. Bernie Sanders becomes more distant of a memory.Simply put, it sure seems like “moderate Joe” was a thin facade used to usher an ultra-progressive agenda in the backdoor. It resembles a : the famous hollow wooden horse, secretly filled with soldiers, that was given by the Greeks to the Trojans during the famed Trojan War. Once taken inside the impenetrable walls of Troy, Greek...

One disastrous Democratic welfare program is causing a hiring crisis

One disastrous Democratic welfare program is causing a hiring crisis

A McDonald’s franchise in Florida is so desperate for workers that it started offering people $50 just to show up for an interview — and it still isn’t getting enough applicants. Why?In part because the system of ultragenerous unemployment benefits perpetuated by President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion-plus coronavirus legislation “is truly creating the incentive to not work right now," the franchise owner Business Insider. “And, how do you blame somebody? You can make more money on unemployment [than from working].”Regular checkin to how the labor market is right now... — Dan Nunn (@danyay)The...

COVID-19 alarmism is working, new polls show. That’s a huge problem

COVID-19 alarmism is working, new polls show. That’s a huge problem

More than in COVID-19-related deaths. So, of course, the coronavirus is undoubtedly a serious and life-threatening disease, at least for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.But people wildly overestimate the actual risks posed by COVID-19, according to that show the stunning extent to which the public has internalized alarmist misinformation.A out this week reveals that young people aged 18 to 24 are the subgroup most anxious about resuming normal social life — despite being by far the least at risk from COVID-19. Indeed, the for members of this...

Economic destruction from riots and looting will hit minorities hardest

Economic destruction from riots and looting will hit minorities hardest

Many of the anarchists and radical activists engaging in rioting and looting across the country are, ostensibly, doing so to protest police brutality and racism. But the long-term economic consequences of this destruction will only further the racial inequity rioters detest.The rioting and looting have drowned out the underlying tragedy that prompted it — the tragic death of an innocent black man, George Floyd, at the hands of reckless police officers. There is . But also consequential is the economic damage and the property destruction from the violent unrest that has almost certainly...
