Fusion GPS Tries To Run Russian Collusion Hoax Redux Against Boris Johnson

Via The Federalist

The founders of Fusion GPS, the Democrat-backed consulting firm behind the famously discredited Christopher Steele dossier at the heart of the Russia hoax, are blaming Russia for the liberal Labour Party’s loss in the U.K. elections Thursday. Seriously.

Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch penned an editorial published in the The Guardian, a British newspaper, asserting Russia was behind the triumphant re-election of Brexit-supporting conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Simpson and Fritsch are now urging the British government to launch an investigation into Russian interference in its elections mirroring the size and scale of the U.S. Robert Mueller probe, a two-year investigation studying the Russian collusion conspiracy theory that did irreparable harm to the United States and was based on a web of lies.

“Britain needs its own Mueller report on Russian ‘interference,’” the editors titled the article.

“The British political system has become thoroughly compromised by Russian influence,” Simpson and Fritsch declared. “In 2016, both the United Kingdom and the United States were the targets of Russian efforts to swing their votes. The aim was to weaken the alliances that had constrained Vladimir Putin’s ambitions, such as the European Union and NATO.”

Greta Thunberg tells cheering crowd ‘we will make sure we put world leaders against the wall’ if they do not tackle global warming

Via The Daily Mail

Greta Thunberg told cheering protesters today ‘we will make sure we put world leaders against the wall’ if they fail to take urgent action on climate change.

The Swedish teen activist was addressing the crowd at a Fridays for Future protest in Turin, Italy.

She arrived there from Madrid where she had been attending the UN climate summit but said she feared the event would not lead to change.

She said: ‘Unfortunately, we probably already know the outcome. World leaders are still trying to run away from their responsibilities but we have to make sure they cannot do that.

‘We will make sure that we put them against the wall and they will have to do their job to protect our futures.’

Swedish Greta was cheered by the crowd who chanted her name as she arrived wearing her favourite yellow raincoat and a woolly hat.

She said: ‘It is not fair that the older generation are handing over the responsibility to solve this crisis to us young people who have not started this crisis. It’s not fair that we have to do all this.

‘The adults are behaving as if there is no tomorrow but there is a tomorrow, it is the tomorrow where our young people will live and we have to fight for that tomorrow. ‘We can no longer take that tomorrow for granted.’

Greta added that the next decade ‘will define our future.’

She said: ‘What we decide to do or not to do in this decade we will have to live with for the rest of our lives.

Greta Thunberg, Person of the Year, Reveals West as Power of Yesteryear

Via The New American

A civilization’s heroes are a window to its soul. Then again, when old statues and virtues come down and frivolous figures and vices are held up, some may suspect their land has lost its soul. A good example is teen Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and her “sainting” by the Left, as theologian Fay Voshell puts it.

Writing at American Thinker Friday, Voshell asserts that by proclaiming the Swede “Person of the Year” and presenting her as some beatific figure, Time magazine “has officially sainted Thunberg.”

“Thunberg — for now at least — has become the secular equivalent of Joan of Arc, whose portraits and statues are depicted with a similar expression denoting transcendent holiness,” writes Voshell, referencing Time’s December cover.

Voshell makes the case that this exaltation belies the notion of leftist “irreligiosity.” This may be true, in a sense, though as I explained Sunday, the religious/secular distinction is in the deepest sense a false one. What is true is that the godless are not false-godless; most people want to believe in something larger than themselves, and the climate con is certainly larger than its con men (though the primary among them would, in their hearts, likely beg to differ).

Voshell, in a nutshell, also says that Thunberg is a useful idiot for the Left and that, once used up, will be discarded for another. As for the girl’s future choices, she “will probably fall in love with someone,” writes the theologian. “Her present passionate intensity then will be diverted.”

While I won’t bet the farm on this, Thunberg is being used. It’s no shock that she was selected for her current role, either. She’s consumed with climate concerns, unsurprising since she’s said to have “Asperger’s,” and such people tend toward obsession.

Can We Just Make It Illegal to Discipline Black Students?

Black Congresswoman from Massachusetts Pushes $2.5 Billion Bill to Basically Abolish School Discipline in Public Schools Because Too Many Blacks Are Suspended/Expelled

In the current paradigm, the only tolerated answer for why so many black – and brown – pupils are disciplined at disproportionate rates than white students is due to white supremacy, structural inequalities, and racism deeply imbedded in the criminal justice system.

The simple, logical reason being black (and brown) students engage in the majority of anti-social behavior in public school classrooms across America, and are thus disciplined for their actions is verboten, an unforgivable sin by any who dares utter or write such blasphemy.[Ayanna Pressley Wants To Stop The School-To-Prison Pipeline: The congresswoman has a bill to combat the disproportionately punitive discipline of Black and brown students in school., Huffington Post, December 5, 2019]:

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) is set to introduce legislation on Thursday to tackle the problem of students of color, particularly Black girls, facing disproportionately punitive discipline in school.

The Ending Pushout Act aims to stop discriminatory punishment practices that “criminalize Black and brown students, push them out of school and exacerbate the school to prison pipeline,” per a release from Pressley’s team. This is the first bill to come out of the congresswoman’s sweeping criminal justice reform proposals announced last month.

Black students in the U.S. are significantly more likely than white students to be suspended, expelled, arrested at school or referred to outside law enforcement agencies. While Black children make up about 16% of all U.S. public school students, they account for about 40% of school suspensions, according to a 2018 Government Accountability Office report.

It’s Christmas, so an Elementary School Invited a Drag Queen Prostitute, Naturally

Via CBN News

You can file this one in the “you have got to be kidding me” file. We wish we were.

But it looks like 2019 will go down in the history as the year of the drag queens took over story hour at libraries across the country. Now an Austin, Texas elementary school has gone one step farther by inviting a drag queen prostitute under the school district’s new radical sex education initiative. However, the school is being accused of either ignoring or failing to carry out a full background check on the person they invited.

The Family Research Council (FRC) reports the Blackshear Fine Arts Academy invited Miss Kitty Litter ATX (real name David Robinson) to spend time with the school’s children even though he was reportedly charged with breaking the law as a prostitute.

According to the FRC, in texts to Roger Grape, the school librarian, Robinson admitted that he might not pass the school background check.

“The guidelines for submission automatically disqualify me if the deferred adjudication for prostitution is considered a conviction… so I don’t know if it’s ethical to submit,” he wrote.

“So either the school didn’t go through with the background check — or ignored it altogether. Either option is equally distressing,” writes the FRC’s Tony Perkins.

The drag queen reportedly spent the entire day at the school, walking in dressed head-to-toe as a woman at 7:25 am, even though the book-reading was scheduled for 11:00 am. FRC says he didn’t leave until right before the final bell at 2:11 pm.

“Usually, the fact that a district is willing to host one of these drag queen events is sickening enough. Imagine finding out that the person they invited wasn’t even vetted — or worse, a confirmed sex trafficker. Schools are supposed to be safe learning spaces, not a catwalk for prostitutes,” Perkins noted on the FRC website.

Over 1 million people join petition demanding Netflix remove Christmas satirical comedy which suggests Jesus was gay

Via The New York Daily News

A new Netflix Christmas special has mobilized over one million nearly incredulous viewers who say they are appalled by the streaming service’s portrayal of a possibly gay Jesus, according to the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo. They have signed a petition against the streaming of the Netflix Brazil-produced show for “seriously offending Christians,” and they took to social media to express their disgust.

“The First Temptation of Christ” is the second satirical take on Christmas brought to the web screen by the International Emmy-winning comedy group Porta dos Fundos (or “backdoor” in English), a popular comedy troupe with over 16 million YouTube subscribers.

In the 46-minute-long comedy, Jesus and his new friend Orlando arrive at Mary and Joseph’s house, where a group of friends are waiting to throw the Son of God a surprise birthday bash.

The politically incorrect take on the über blasphemous soirée is sure to offend Christians, who have taken to social media to express their disgust, calling it “trash,” “extremely offensive to the values, principles and Christian faith,” and “intolerant” to religions.
