How Totalitarian Thugs Get Started
A young woman named Rohini Sethi attends the University of Houston. She had the “audacity” to perform a “hate crime”. How? By posting this on Facebook: “Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like #AllLivesMatter”.
Now a pasty white weakling named Shane A. Smith is trying to force her through a process so humiliating that it likely has George Orwell and Franz Kafka spinning in their graves. Look for Smith to be a future Democrat politician.
So far there are relatively few news stories about it because it simply does not match the narrative of the Leftist MSM.
The next time an American brags about their Right to Free Speech, refer them to this story.
Your Attraction To Attractive People Must Be Corrected
Apparently, we should be cultivating politically correct romantic and erotic attractions to unappealing people – say, overweight bores with borderline personalities. Because, says Ms Hedlund, love and sex are unequally “distributed,” with an unfair amount of both going to people who are deemed lovable and attractive by the people loving them, and not insufferable sociopaths with horrific disfigurements. Or, one suspects, self-styled “feminist killjoys.”

Operation Empty Chair
Beijing is set to host the G-20 Summit for the first time on September 4-5 in the city of Hangzhou. Always looking to enhance its status as a rising superpower as well as play the part that China is the ultimate partner nation and never one to start trouble, Beijing will follow a carefully well scripted playbook in the South China Sea — lots of fiery talk and signaling, but no escalatory steps for the time being. China would not want to risk having any drama at this prestigious gathering — beyond what could occur already when it comes to tensions in Asia. Why rock the boat and lose face? Now is simply not the time for a squabble. I would argue Beijing has every incentive to hold its fire until after the summit.
This is not the Asian pivot we were promised.

Political scientists have spent millions of words trying to explain how Appalachia and the South went from staunchly Democratic to staunchly Republican in less than a generation.
Some blame race relations and the Democratic Party’s embrace of the civil rights movement. Others cite religious faith and the hold that social conservatism has on evangelicals in that region.
A big part of the explanation lies in the fact that many in the white working class saw precisely what I did, working at Dillman’s.
