  1. 1. The all-knowing Uncle Joe:

    In a recent interview with the Washington Examiner, human rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali discussed the ‘real war on women’ being conducted by adherents to radical Islam and the need for the American left to acknowledge that reality. During the conversation, Hirsi Ali recalled a particularly telling encounter she had with Vice President Joe Biden in which he attempted to correct her on “one or two things about Islam.”

    Hirsi Ali explained to the Examiner that in the left’s attempts to protect anyone they perceive as “victims of the white man,” they have failed to look honestly at the true war on women waged by radical Muslims.

    “They feel all religions are the same, and they’re not,” she said…

    2. ISIS Publishes Pamphlet On How to Treat Female Slaves.

  7. That was super cool! Loved the way women dressed back then!!! pure class. Demanded respect. but i forgot how oppressed they were back then look at them wymins collared and dragged behind the men eh ? lol. Feminism is total bs .

  11. When I look at this, I see “white privilege”. Why were no “people of color” involved in the production of this? Why didn’t James Watt have a diverse team of assistants when he invented the steam engine? Why didn’t Alexander Fleming have a diverse team help him discover penicillin? How dare these creative and inventive Scots do all these great things alone! Didn’t they realize that they should have had a NASA style outreach program so thar other cultures would not feel inferior?
    I am so offended!

  14. burning our food never did make much sense to me. I wonder how much the taxpayers are on the hook for with this one?

  15. Red-green’s AGW/CCC/GHG: RIP.
    “Jorge Alvarez, project coordinator for the UN Development Programme, said the emissions were so high because a plan to run the summit on green power went wrong.”
    “Organisers had planned to draw power from Peru’s national grid, half of which is fed by green hydroelectric power.
    ‘We worked to upgrade transformers and generators but for some reason it didn’t work,’ said Mr Alvarez.”
    “Instead the huge negotiating complex, built from scratch in the Peruvian capital, has been run on dirty diesel generators.”

  17. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/isis-fight-west-needs-to-address-root-causes-of-radicalism-1.2870184
    The American commanding General of NATO-Europe mouths the same platitudes about root causes as Justin Trudeau.
    Over at CBC the commenters are ecstatic as they believe it’s justifies their Boy’s stupidity.
    If our military commanders are so naive,it doesn’t give much hope for our eventually winning the war on Muslim jihadists, in fact almost guarantees we will lose.

  20. Liberalism’s stench/ordure rises from liberal Blumberg.
    “Blumberg doesn’t understand why a memorial to victims of communism was given such an “incredibly prominent, almost sacrosanct” site. “It is so centrally placed that it would seem to quite overshadow Canada’s true history.””
    “Shirley Blumberg, a founding partner of KPMB Architects of Toronto and member of the Order of Canada,”.

  22. Prenatal exposure to common household chemicals linked with substantial drop in child IQ
    Date:December 10, 2014
    Source:Columbia University
    Summary: Children exposed during pregnancy to elevated levels of two common chemicals found in the home — di-n-butyl phthalate and di-isobutyl phthalate — had an IQ score, on average, more than six points lower than children exposed at lower levels, according to researchers. The study is the first to report a link between prenatal exposure to phthalates and IQ in school-age children. While avoiding all phthalates in the United States is for now impossible, the researchers recommend that pregnant women take steps to limit exposure by not microwaving food in plastics, avoiding scented products as much as possible, including air fresheners, and dryer sheets, and not using recyclable plastics labeled as 3, 6, or 7.

  23. Maybe the government wanted to put the memorial to victims of communism in a spot where Rosalie Abella could see it from her office window?
