Sometimes people ask me why any civilian needs to own an AR-15. The need to defend yourself in a riot is a reason.
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a mob of Black "teens" dragged a White female college student off her own porch BY HER HAIR, dragged her to a stop sign, and then beat her UNCONSCIOUS... TWICE... ...while a crowd stood around FILMING it!!! The girls called 911 **FIVE TIMES** that night, but police didn't show up until AFTER the beating was over. This happened near York College in Pennsylvania. A group of students, young White women, were on the porch of their off-campus house when a stranger walked up and picked a fight and a mob of Black "teens" rushed them. One of the girls was ripped off the porch by her hair, dragged to a stop sign, then roughly a dozen people jumped her at once, kicking and punching her from every angle while a crowd of up to 30 encircled her. She blacked out TWICE... once from a kick to the ribs and again from a blow to the back of the head. And the whole time, she says, people were recording it on their phones and laughing... filming her get beaten unconscious for entertainment. Her friends were dragged down the steps by their hair too. One was already in a knee brace, recovering from an injury. The girls say they called 911 FIVE separate times. The first calls went out BEFORE the violence even started, when a crowd was gathering and cars were street racing so recklessly that one of them smashed into a parked car next to the firehouse. Five calls. They were told each time that officers were coming. Officers didn't arrive until it was over. Students say this isn't new and that large crowds gather there constantly, and that another student was attacked just two weeks earlier by what they believe is the same group of non-students. "The cops haven't done anything to protect us, and campus safety hasn't done anything. It feels like they're scared to get involved with 'these' people, but then it puts us at risk when they're doing nothing." WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!

It's time to reread Tom Wolfe's “Radical Chic,” since NYC has a radical chic mayor.
In a normal world, this is who the Mayor of New York City would have hosted for dinner at his home, instead of a man who sympathizes with the folks throwing the bomb.

Like Steve Martin's famous character, Gavin Newsom was born a poor black child. He grew up on the mean streets of Compton, where he learned about brotherhood and pain. His homies called him G-Unit.

I remember being asked by a detective whether I had “consented” to sexual activity at any point. I was five years old when my abuse started. Not a “young woman”. Not a “child prostitute”. Not “promiscuous”. I was a child. So no, I didn’t consent. No child can.

How can this possibly be allowed to happen in a modern day civilization? When does King Charles say something or do something about this when the civilian government leadership has totally failed? What has become of basic moral standards in the UK? Why doesn’t anyone care about the children?
🚨🇬🇧1,400 KIDS RAPED IN THE U.K. BECAUSE AUTHORITIES FEARED RACISM CLAIMS!? The Rotherham child abuse scandal revealed that at least 1,400 children were abused over 16 years, primarily by men of Pakistani heritage. Fear of being labeled racist led local authorities and police to ignore or downplay the abuse, despite multiple reports. This fear of racial insensitivity resulted in a failure to act, prioritizing avoiding controversy over child protection, allowing the exploitation to continue unchecked. Source: BBC

What do you call the Assads leaving Syria as Sunni fundamentalists take over? Alawite flight.

The #1 entertainment show for US Hispanics is literally called The Fat Guy and the Skinny Chick. It regularly features women in hot tubs and midget tossing à la Wolf of Wall Street. Whoever told Dems Hispanics share the PC sensibilities of white liberals committed malpractice.

What does it take to get expelled?
BREAKING: Pro-Hamas students and faculty at the University of Washington have posted photos of what they did to the president of the university's home. That UW president gave in to every demand of the encampment last semester. Appeasement never works.

So the antisemitism was fine but the antiblackness is just too far.

Why is Harvard accepting students who haven’t mastered 9th grade math?
“The Harvard Math Department will pilot a new introductory course aimed at rectifying a lack of foundational algebra skills among students” because “the Covid-19 pandemic led to gaps in students’ math skills and learning abilities.”

This year was already feeling a bit too 1968 with all of the campus protests. Now with an assassination attempt on a presidential candidate, it’s only more so. Of all the years I missed the first time and might have hoped the country would relive, 1968 was never on the list.

Watch out for that guy! His predictions are the worst in the business. He predicted Trump would win in 2020; he predicted Republicans would hold the Senate majority; he predicted Dr Oz would win his Senate race.
I swear to god if BILL O’REILLY has the biggest scoop of the new millennium I will laugh so hard

I am sitting next to a top scientist who is a professor at @UCSF. She is explaining how higher education is failing us. Among other things, she just told me that the words ‘excellence’ and ‘resilience’ are no longer permissible speech at UCSF because they are ableist and therefore discriminatory. She says the institution is past the point of no return.

you can always tell who was actually poor and who's just an Ivy League shitlib LARPing because the latter romanticizes aspects of poverty that real poor people desperately want to escape. when they think "noisy neighborhood," their mind conjures up some abuela playing tropipop out her breezy open window while she makes empanadas as a table of Chinese men laugh and play Mahjong on the street -- literal Hollywood movie shit. in reality, the noise of poverty is the woman next door screaming while she's getting beaten up by her drunk boyfriend, a schizo man shouting obscenities outside of your apartment window, and the blaring siren of ambulances coming to collect yet another overdose.

Also I wonder why Indian buffets favor chafing pans while Chinese overwhelmingly use electric steam tables.
Why isn't there a big Indian American restaurant chain? - Chinese: Panda Express (2398) - Korean: Bonchon (139) - Japanese: Benihana (70) - Chinese: P. F. Chang's (70) - Indian: Curry Up Now (22)

Ain't that a kick in the pants? Fish oil was supposed to lessen risk of heart attack and stroke!
"Are fish oils on the hook for heart risks?” (CNN) Ask OpenEvidence: Can fish oil supplements increase the risk of stroke and heart problems?
