School Apologizes After Pledge of Allegiance Recited… In Spanish
by Shifra on November 28, 2018Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish…and German? From the Dept. of What were they thinking? Via Washington Times. Administrators at a Virginia high school have apologized for a plan to have the Pledge of Allegiance said in different languages by students. Westfield High School in Fairfax came under fire before Thanksgiving by upset parents when they found out that their children were being asked to recite the Pledge in Spanish. The original plan was to have native speakers of various languages, such as French or German, lead others in the routine. “A school administrator suggested students lead the pledge in Spanish to promote engagement and inclusion,” a statement released to a local Fox affiliate said. “Administrators believed this was...

Politically Correct Weatherman Uses Term “Snowperson,” Hilarity Ensues
by Shifra on November 25, 2018Snowperson? What if the snowman self-identifies as a snow woman? Via Western Journal. The icy grip of political correctness was met with waves of mockery on social media this week as a Weather Channel personality used the term “snowperson” to describe a New Hampshire snowman. On Tuesday, Mike Seidel posted a tweet summing up the winter-like weather pummeling the Northeast. It included a submitted photo of a snowman and an ominous forecast for Thanksgiving Day. “1st snowperson of the season and the 2nd snowfall in less than a week in Nashua, NH,” he wrote…. 1st snowperson of the season and the 2nd snowfall in less than a week in Nashua, NH.

Germany Releases, Deports Moroccan 9/11 Accomplice
by Shifra on October 16, 2018Fifteen years behind bars for accessory to murdering 2,997 people. Nice going, Germany. NOT. Via NY Post. That’s a real killer smile. A Moroccan man convicted of helping the 9/11 terrorists carry out their plot flashed a huge grin as he flew home a free man on Monday after being released early from his meager sentence in Germany. Mounir el Motassadeq was sentenced to just 15 years behind bars for accessory to murder in 2006, but received credit for time served after his initial arrest in 2001 — and was freed shortly before finishing even that stretch to be deported to his homeland. German courts ruled that he was part of the so-called “Hamburg cell” with ringleader Mohamed Atta and...

‘Breaking’ CNN News: Jim Acosta Had Arm Touched by WH Staffer!
by Shifra on February 1, 2018This riveting story was brought to you by the Clown News Network. Via Twitchy. CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta was on with Anderson Cooper Wednesday night, and, shocking no one, decided to show a clip of himself rather of the actual news event unfolding before him. Chuck Ross of The Daily Caller posted video of the moment to Twitter; we’d advise viewer discretion, as some of the images may be upsetting to Acosta’s fans…. Classic Acosta pic.twitter.com/Nv7JOEJryP — Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) February 1, 2018 That 5’4 female junior staffer was basically Hitler. — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) February 1, 2018 Given his perceived level of victimhood I'm surprised Acosta wasn't someone's guest during the SOTU. https://t.co/96PayhsGDO — BT (@back_ttys) February...

Pakistan Approves ‘Anti-Blasphemy’ Law, Will Sit on UN Human Rights Council
by Shifra on December 27, 2017Pakistan has approved a law cracking down on online ‘blasphemy’ content, so that anything deemed offensive to Islam on social media could be punishable by death. The fact that Pakistan is now headed to sit on the U.N. Human Rights Council is a cruel ‘joke.’ And, as Tammy points out in today’s Washington Times column, it’s time to defund the U.N. Tammy Bruce: Rape, sex trafficking and the spread of disease on the U.N.’s watch Via CNS News. Days before it takes up a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council – for its fourth term in the council’s 11-year history – Pakistan’s federal cabinet has approved a legal amendment designed to facilitate an ongoing crackdown on “blasphemy” on social...

Freeloading Ex-Prez: Taxpayers to Pay $1.1M Expenses for Obama in 2018
by Shifra on September 1, 2017Here’s an idea: How ‘bout having Obama pay for his own expenses? At $250,000 per speech, four speeches would just about cover it all. Via Washington Times. Former President Barack Obama is about to become the most expensive ex-president, costing taxpayers $1,153,000 next year, according to a new Congressional Research Service memo looking at the official allowances for the five living former chief executives. His $1,153,000 budget request for 2018 is more than $100,000 higher than George W. Bush’s request for next year and nearly $200,000 more than Bill Clinton’s expected budget. George H.W. Bush is slated to get $942,000, while Jimmy Carter will get less than half that, at just $456,000. Every former president gets an office, expenses and,...

Professor Asks Students to Choose Their Own Grades… to Reduce Stress
by Shifra on August 9, 2017The University of Georgia prof was told to abandon his harebrained plan. But what a shame: These students would really have gotten an excellent preparation for life…on Planet Zog, where everyone gets a unicorn, the sun always shines, money grows on trees, and people sing Kumbaya in the streets. Via BizPac Review. The University of Georgia has made Professor Richard Watson remove a “stress reduction policy” from two of his course syllabi after facing national backlash for the practice. As Campus Reform reported Monday, Watson had adopted a policy that would allow students who felt “unduly stressed by a grade for any assessable material or the overall course” to “email the instructor indicating what grade [they] think is appropriate, and...

Venezuela Detains Oppo Leaders at Gunpoint, Remains on UN Human Rights Council
by Shifra on August 2, 2017Venezuela is running out of food, and it is reported that 75% of population lost 19 pounds amid the crisis. Leave it to the useful idiots who praise socialism, though: They will probably report this as a wonderful step the Venezuelan government is taking to reduce obesity. But which is more laughable, that Venezuela is on the Human Rights Council, or the fact that Saudi Arabia is also a member? Via CNS News. The United Nations’ secretary-general and top human rights official on Tuesday both expressed concern about the political crisis in Venezuela, but neither statement addressed the fact that the Nicolas Maduro regime is a member of the U.N.’s top human rights body. Amid calls for the Human Rights...

Canada Celebrates 150th Birthday… With a Giant Rubber Duck
by Shifra on July 2, 2017O Canada…why? Via WSJ Canada wanted a loon for its birthday. Instead, it is getting a duck. A bright yellow duck that is six stories high and inflatable…. “Nothing says ‘Celebrate Canada!’ like a 30,000-pound rubber duck by a foreign artist,” scoffed Aaron Wudrick, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation in Ottawa, one of many Canadians ruffled by the plan, partly funded by public money. The towering waterfowl, which the organizers of Toronto’s Redpath Waterfront Festival are renting from a U.S. company, has spawned bewilderment on social media, become the subject of Canadian parliamentary debates and triggered a protest at the offices of top lawmakers. Part of the issue is the price tag of roughly 71,000 Canadian dollars, or...

TSA May Soon Be Inspecting Our Books and Food
by Shifra on June 28, 2017They do promise not to notice what we are reading. Sure. Via The Week. The TSA began a new screening policy for paper products at airport checkpoints in Missouri last month, and now the agency’s branch in Sacramento, California, is testing out more invasive searches for books and food items. In the new system, passengers are required to take all reading material and food out of their carry-on luggage and place it in a separate bin. TSA screeners can “fan” through travelers’ books to see if anything is hidden in the pages, but agency officials insist they will not pay attention to the content. Critics have long argued passengers selected for extra screening are not chosen as randomly as the...

On Twitter, The Bell Tolls For ‘Who’
by Shifra on June 18, 2017If you are die-hard grammarian who enjoys annoying people with grammar rules, this one’s for you: Via WSJ. When Twitter users open their home pages, they are greeted by an inset box at the top of the screen in which three words appear in gray type: “Who to follow.” Correct grammar? Certainly not. Plenty of Twitter users, including members of the blue-checkmarked elite, have complained about that oversight. “The ‘whoms’ put up a good fight, but we ultimately opted for a more natural cadence and the ‘whos’ won out,” says Twitter spokeswoman Brielle Villablanca…. As for when “whom” is appropriate: It is the correct choice if the word is the object of a preposition or a verb, such as in...

Dem on Removal of Pigs-as-Cops Painting from Congress: ‘Unconstitutional’
by Shifra on April 27, 2017It’s “unconstitutional” to object to a painting that demeans police officers, but it’s perfectly okay to disobey Federal law with regard to illegals? Got it. Via Grabien. Rep. Clay: “For those of you who may not know, many other members of Congress conduct this Congress in their district as well. In fact, this painting was one of more than 400 student entries from across the nation that were reviewed, accepted and approved last June for public display in the cannon tunnel by the architect of the Capitol. Members of Congress do not select the artists. We do not approve or disapprove of any of the artistic concepts, and we have no role in judging the competition. We simply provide a...

Islamic Georgetown Prof: Slavery and Non-Consensual Sex OK Under Islam?
by Shifra on February 12, 2017Via Daily Caller: A Georgetown University Islamic studies professor has come under fire for a talk he gave earlier this week in which he offered an Islam-based defense of slavery, concubinage and non-consensual sex. Jonathan AC Brown, who serves as director of the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown, gave his admittedly controversial speech on Tuesday at the International Institute of Islamic Thought, a Virginia-based group that has foundational ties to the Muslim Brotherhood… In the speech, and a subsequent question-and-answer session, Brown, a white convert to Islam, essentially downplayed the harshness of slavery in Islam. He also stated that American and Western society is “obsessed with the idea of autonomy and consent.” … Click through for...

WikiLeaks: How the Left Played Chief Justice Roberts on ObamaCare
by Shifra on October 16, 2016If Hillary wins, we won’t have to worry about any intimidation of the Supreme Court. She will pack the SC with people who will be very happy to do her bidding. Justice Barack Obama, Justice Eric Holder, or Justice Valerie Jarrett, anyone ? Via WSJ. The WikiLeaks email disclosures make fascinating reading about the political calculations of leading progressives, and Chief Justice John Roberts may want to pay particular attention. This week’s leaks show Hillary Clinton ally Neera Tanden laying out a strategy to intimidate the Supreme Court to uphold ObamaCare. Ms. Tanden runs the Center for American Progress, the think tank that is essentially an arm of the Clinton campaign. CAP’s former chief, John Podesta, is now the Clinton...
