Scratch A Leftist

Caroline Glick;

Last week, the New York Times published an opinion piece under the headline, “Saying Good-bye to Hanukkah.” The article was written by a non-Jewish woman, with an assimilated Catholic mother and an assimilated Jewish father. In her column, she declared that she and her non-Jewish spouse will not be lighting the menorah with their non-Jewish children because it just isn’t meaningful to them.

It ought to go without saying that a non-Jewish woman’s decision not to celebrate a Jewish holiday is a non-event. So why did the NYT publish it?

2 Leftist Women Arrested On Charges Of Terrorist Attack on a Railroad

According to the criminal complaint, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has been investigating the placement of shunts on the BNSF tracks since January 19, 2020. The shunt is comprised of wire and magnets that are stretched between the tracks, disrupting the systems that indicate a train is on the tracks. On ten occasions, shunts were placed in areas that disrupt the crossing guards where the tracks cross streets, so vehicles could have tried to cross the tracks unaware of the oncoming train. On the night of October 11, 2020, multiple shunts were placed in three different locations in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. The shunts triggered an automatic breaking system on a train that was transporting hazardous and combustible material. The emergency breaking then caused a portion of the train to decouple from the engine. Decoupling has the potential to cause a derailment—in this case—of tanker cars of flammable gas in a residential area.
 
Shortly after the first shunts were discovered in January, a claim of responsibility was published on an anarchist website.
 
“This claim of responsibility stated that the shunting activity was carried out in solidarity with Native American tribes in Canada seeking to prevent the construction of an oil pipeline across British Columbia, and with the express goal of disrupting BNSF operations and supplies for the pipeline,” says the complaint.

The RedStar Employs Vile Racists

Toronto Star writer, Evelyn Kwong, has successfully shut down a “pop-up broth bar” in Toronto … because the owner is a white woman:

Sadly, the frightened owner of Ripe Nutrition, Alexandra Baird, has capitulated to the mob. With a vomit bag at the ready, read the comments to Baird’s Instagram post. I would walk across the street to avoid encountering any of these holier-than-thou morons. Is this really what Canada has become?!?

One would logically conclude that Racist Kwong will next be demanding the closure of sandwich shops and burger joints not owned by white people and pizza restaurants not owned by Italians. Waiting, waiting . . .

Scratch A Leftist

Blame the Joos;

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been suspended from the party and has had the whip removed.
 
A party spokesman said: “In light of his comments made today and his failure to retract them subsequently, the Labour Party has suspended Jeremy Corbyn pending investigation. He has also had the whip removed from the Parliamentary Labour Party.”
 
Mr Corbyn had reacted to a damning report into antisemitism by saying the number of complaints made during his tenure were “dramatically overstated for political reasons”.

How To Harm Children

Ohio social studies teachers – and by extension, their students – will learn that having brown skin is some kind of accomplishment, a basis for applause and favours, unlike being white, which is apparently the opposite, a basis for atonement. In order to achieve “absolution” – and yes, that term is used in the recommended literature, with all that it implies – the “stone idol” of “whiteness” must be “smashed to pieces.” Students and educators are also informed that insofar as “white people” have any culture at all, it is merely one “of colonisation, of genocide, of taking,” “a deep, dark hole of grief and of loss,” in which “envy and fear” are defining features. It is, we’re assured, “the culture of death.”

What “equity” looks like in Ohio schools.

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

More from @AndreaFloresTVDenver Dept of Excise and Licenses confirms “there is no record for an active licensed security guard now or ever for an individual named Matthew Doloff or Dolloff. If he was operating as a security guard, he was in violation of the law”.
