UN Human Rights “Expert” Declares Britain Most Sexist Country

South African Rashida Manjoo visited the UK recently and declared it the most sexist country in the world. James Delingpole has some thoughts about Ms. Manjoo and her findings:

Ms (bound to be a ‘Ms’, isn’t she?) Manjoo based her views on meetings with “UK government officials, civil society organisations and individual survivors of violence”, as well as on her observations of the “easy availability of porn, the use of social media including influencing young children around images” and what she called “harassment on the Tubes.” By this last she appears to be referring to the latest trend for taking pictures of women eating on the London Underground and posting them onto Facebook under the heading “Women Who Eat On Tubes.”

Reading through the numerous comments on the left-leaning Guardian newspaper is comedic gold.

Environmentalists The World Over Finally Admit They’ve Made It All Up

Nahhh, not really. Happy April Fools Day!
James Delingpole reports on the never-ending PR campaign where facts don’t matter – here, here, & here.

Green ideologues working for the British government helped “sex up” the latest Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) report in order to make its conclusions sound more scary than the evidence warrants, it emerged today.

The draft version of the report’s Summary For Policymakers made the startling admission that the economic damage caused by “climate change” would be between 0.2 and 2 percent of global GDP – significantly less than the doomsday predictions made in the 2006 Stern report (which estimated the damage at between 5 and 20 percent of global GDP).

Just in time for April Fools’ Day, the MSM was doing a full court propaganda campaign yesterday. Here’s a sampling full of mistruths and outright fiction. Dr. Tim Ball is trying to fight back against the propagandists.

Australia’s Lizzy May

What do you do if you’re a political hack in the Green Party and election after election the voters increasingly reject your views? Go on the attack, of course, making unsubstantiated allegations against your political enemies. Paul Sheehan explains:

There is nothing more popular on the internet than pornography, and that extends to political pornography, the territory of trolls and zealots. Senator Scott Ludlam knows this, and Ludlam is fighting for his survival. He has only just narrowly averted disaster and now he is appealing to the fringe because he cannot appeal to the majority.

He cannot appeal to the majority because he has a dim view of the great majority of Australians who supported the major parties, especially the millions who voted for the Coalition in recent elections, offering a portrait of a homophobic, xenophobic prime minister manipulating a legion of rednecks, all without bothering to lay out evidence beyond his own opinions.

Redford’s Departure “Must” Have Been Due to Misogyny

In the Lefist world of identity politics, you just KNEW this was coming:

Inevitably there will be accusations of misogyny. There will be questions about why Redford and Dunderdale, embraced by voters a short time ago, are now regarded as abrasive and unable to connect with people. There will be new lessons to learn.

It is too early for definitive judgments, but in the wake of Redford’s resignation it is possible to start disentangling the factors that brought down two talented, capable women who turned their languishing parties around, provided solid economic leadership and were seen outside their provinces as capable and progressive.

Umm what?

How does this happen?

Schiliro had had police bring 20-year-old Nicholas Dorsam to his home to drink wine, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. When Dorman attempted to leave, Schiliro prevented him from doing so, shooting the gun into a stack of papers and threatened to kill himself. Schiliro later credited Dorsam with helping save his life.

Bonus comment.
Rob Ford, who?

Chief Prognosticator

….of the Cult of Status Quo, President of the Sen. McCain fan club, and authour of Romney FTW! presents his latest work of fiction:
Stop them, Hillary! A seminal work of horror released on the eve of Halloween for the go-along to get-along crowd.
Stop them, Hillary! was released to glowing reviews like this from Mike:

Hi. I’m Mike…from Canmore.

In Washington, an elderly affluent tourist from Arizona by the name of John, had this to say:

GAHHHHH!

Prior to writing Stop them, Hillary!, the authour went deep undercover for research. Maintaining his cover, he graduated from the Dick Morris School of Crystal Balls.
This work is sure to galvanize absolutely no one in the run up to absolutely nothing.
