WELL, THEY ALL GET THE SAME EMAILS FROM MEDIA MATTERS AND THE DNC: “The NYT headline about Trump’s Cedar Rapids speech is so close to WaPo’s headline that I was afraid for a moment that I’d mistakenly attributed the NYT headline to WaPo.”

‘WOKE’ MEDIA TRIED TO CANCEL A CHILD IN A RACISM HOAX. IT BACKFIRED SPECTACULARLY:

Some random weirdos on X got angry about this supposed “racist costume.” But the outrage really started after a sports writer for Deadspin wrote an article demanding that the NFL “speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress.”

“It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once,” Carron Phillips wrote. “But on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas, a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.”

Other small sports media outlets parroted a similar narrative accusing this fan of both wearing “blackface,” an offensive way of wearing black face paint that was historically used to denigrate black people, and anti-Native American racism.

There was just one problem: The entire narrative was based on a falsehood.

The young boy was objectively not wearing blackface. While the image shared by Phillips and other outrage-mongers only showed one side of his face, which was painted black, the full image shows his face was painted half black and half red. Can you guess what the Chiefs’ team colors are?

As with the Covington kids in 2019, why are the DNC-MSM obsessed with doxxing children?

LOL: Trans activists tell straight, gay people they can’t have ‘genital preferences.’

RIP SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR:  At the time of her decision in Grutter v. Bollinger (2003), she was convinced that there was a “broad societal consensus” in favor of race-preferential admissions and was unwilling to go against that supposed consensus. In reality, insofar as there was a consensus, it went the other way.

COLOR ME UNSURPRISED: What Arab Nations Are Reportedly Saying to Israel in Private Is Quite Interesting.

It feeds into everything that’s been reported about Israel’s Arab neighbors and why they don’t want Palestinian refugees roaming wild in their country: they bring trouble. The late King Hussein had to declare war on them and successfully drove them out. The problem is the Palestinian Liberation Organization set up shop in Lebanon, where they caused problems for the government while also attacking Israel from the southern part of the country. Israel had to invade in 1982 and remained in Southern Lebanon until 2000. Egypt has closed its border with the Gaza Strip in Rafah due to terrorism concerns.

In the days after the brutal October 7 attacks executed by Hamas, Egypt knew what was going to happen. They deployed tanks to the border while their prime minister vowed that his country would sacrifice millions to keep their borders safe. He was not referring to Israel. So, what’s the latest? Well, Haaretz is reporting that Israel’s Arab neighbors are telling Jerusalem privately that they shouldn’t stop military operations until Hamas has been annihilated. They view them as a domestic threat.

Good.

IT’S NOT RACIST THAT YOU’RE FAT: “Since college, I have had an ‘obese’ to ‘morbidly obese’ body mass index — a measure that is at best inaccurate and at worst racist.”

I mean, I’ve long been a critic of applying BMI to individuals, since it can’t tell the difference between a fat person and a heavily muscled bodybuilder with 8% bodyfat. But still.
