Indian ‘happiness minister’ wanted over alleged murder

Indian police have launched a manhunt for the country’s only “happiness minister” after the state politician vanished when a court ordered his arrest over an alleged murder.
Lal Singh Arya, whose mandate is to put a smile on the faces of his 70 million constituents, is wanted in connection with the death of an opposition politician in 2009.

This should engage a Billion media consumers for weeks, a ‘slow moving white Bronco’ type of thing.

When The Nazis Show Up To Protest The Communists

You’re supposed to pray for an asteroid, not pick a favourite.
Some are starting to get the idea that maybe identity politics has gone too far.
Many people are looking at this as the paragraph of the column.

Such logic extends a disturbing trend in left-of-center public thinking: identity epistemology, or knowing-through-being, somewhere along the line became identity ethics, or morality-through-being. Accordingly, whiteness and wrongness have become interchangeable — the high ground is now accessible only by way of “allyship,” which is to say silence and total repentance.

For me though, this one is the scary part:

He referred to the all-encompassing sense of white power so many liberals now also attribute to whiteness as a profound opportunity. “This is the photographic negative of a white supremacist,” he told me gleefully. “This is why I’m actually very confident, because maybe those leftists will be the easiest ones to flip.”

We’ve seen symptoms of this bipolar behaviour with Antifa; tolerance via a studded club to the head. I don’t want to see the more numerous totalitarian socialists begin a “if you can’t beat them, join them” migration towards the totalitarian fascists because society/Democrats/liberals are ‘betraying’ them.

Monarch on life support

Monarch Airlines is in trouble again.

Stricken airline Monarch was handed a 24-hour reprieve last night as it teetered on the brink of financial collapse.
Britain’s fifth biggest airline is locked in talks over a last-minute rescue amid fears that 100,000 customers could be left stranded.
Government sources said preparations have already begun for a ‘mass repatriation’ of passengers should the worst happen. The Foreign Office has alerted consulates in Monarch’s destination cities to call in extra staff.
