NOTABLE QUOTES

Donald Trump 45th POTUS  in a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition: “Joe Biden’s weakness caused the attack on Israel. Everywhere he goes, Biden’s weakness provokes war and death — because as history shows, evil only respects one thing: unyielding strength.”

Warren Beatty contributor to American Thinker: “Under Trump’s sanctions, Iran’s funds had fallen to below $8 billion. The nation could barely keep its economy afloat. Iran was essentially broke and couldn’t finance terrorist groups. Once Joe Biden took office, Iran’s funds increased to at least $80 billion. Most of the money came from selling oil to China. Larry Kudlow wrote, “In 2020 Iran sold China roughly $6.5 billion worth of oil. Next year in 2021, that mysteriously jumped to $23 billion. Then last year, in 2022, that oil sale mysteriously leaped to $30 billion. … If we didn’t lift the sanctions, how come they’re producing and selling all that oil?”

Martha MacCallum Fox News anchor posted on X: Today we were shown the Hamas bodycam and other videos of the attacks of October 7th. There are no words to explain. It is to witness the darkest evil that can exist. Hamas terrorists laugh and call home to boast how many Jews they killed “with their hands.” Asking if their parents are proud? Humans bloodied, charred, ripped apart. But it is the cries of the children that I will hear forever. I share this with you because the world needs to know what happened. And so that you can imagine it, because I hope you never have to see it.

Ray DiLorenzo contributor to Canada Free Press: To the Left, Israel represents everything they hate: God, hard work, independence, democracy, capitalism, and freedom. The New World Order is every bit a leftist endeavor. They want to destroy society and start over. They don’t believe in peace through strength. They believe in peace through control—a police state. In order to achieve social order, we must commune with God. That is probably why Progressives are always so angry. They don’t have God’s power, and they certainly don’t have the answers.

Victor Davis Hanson explains how support for Hamas and antisemitism on college/university can end: When will they stop? Not until the Democratic hierarchy disowns the growing Hamas wing of its own party. Not until universities become more afraid of the donor class than they are of the DEI/pro-Hamas bunch and their protected hatred. And not until a sane administration stops inviting to America those who despise their generous host. None of that will happen soon—if ever. So for now we Americans are like Diogenes the Cynic, stumbling around in broad daylight with a torch looking for just one honest college president, one truthful US president—all in vain.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) in opposition to redefining marriage wrote in 2004: If we change marriage for this tiny, modern minority, we will have to do it for every deviant group. Polygamists, polyamorists, pedophiles, and others will be next in line to claim equal protection. They already are. There will be no legal basis to deny a bisexual the right to marry a partner of each sex, or a person to marry his pet.

Nicholas Ballasy reporter for Just the News: The deficit for fiscal year 2023 came in at a record $1.7 trillion. President Biden’s revised student loan plan is not factored into the FY2023 deficit, which is estimated to cost about $475 billion over 10 years, according to a recent study.

Adam Andrzejewski for Real Clear Investigations: The Social Security Administration has made billions in overpayments in recent years, with the total balance standing at $26.3 billion at the end of fiscal year 2021, according to an Inspector General’s report. Now, the SSA is sending bills to retirees in an effort to recoup their overpayments. The report found at the end of fiscal year 2021, the SSA had recovered $4.7 billion in overpayments, but still had $21.6 billion in unrecovered overpayments

Chet Nagle contributor to Canada Free Press: Is the Biden administration and it’s agencies and their sponsors directly involved in the slaughter of young America? Of course they are. And Bill Gates is even taking the vaccine to the children in Africa. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will spend $40 million to “advance access to mRNA research and vaccine manufacturing technology” in Africa and low-and middle-income countries around the globe. Others have joined Gates in his profit-seeking malfeasance. As Dr. McCullough has said, officials like Anthony Fauci, former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Francis Collins, former head of NIH, and “a whole cadre of scientists, they collaborated to conceal this global security threat.” Do you think that death by government will kill more of America’s youth? You know it will. So what will we do about it?

BIDEN’S DEMOCRAT PARTY MARXIST PLAYBOOK: PERSECUTE YOUR OPPOSITION, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP & FORMER EMPLOYEES, SUPPORTERS & WH STAFF

Gordon: Georgia DA Offers ‘Nothingburger’ Plea Deals To Build Parade Of Witnesses For Later Show Trials

In the past week, the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis finalized “plea agreements” with three significant members of the group of 18 co-defendants indicted in Willis’ rambling Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (“RICO”) case filed this past August against former President Donald Trump and others.[…]  There is no legitimate prosecutorial reason these deals are designed to bolster the perceived, but not the real, strength of her case against the key defendants, both now, via the media, and later, by parading a string of “guilty” co-defendants as witnesses before the jury.

Lindfield: Michael Cohen Walks Back Claim Trump Asked Him to ‘Inflate’ Numbers

In 2019, allegations made by disgraced lawyer Cohen spurred the attorney general’s office to investigate President Trump. At the center of the case are the Statements of Financial Condition (SFC) for the Trump Organization from 2011 to 2021. On Tuesday, Cohen said that he personally altered together several of those statements with Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg under the direction of his former boss. […] On September 26, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron had already ruled in a pretrial summary judgment that President Trump is liable for fraud. Trump’s defense attorney Alina Habba picked up a cross-examination of Cohen on Wednesday morning. […] “You’re now saying that Mr. Trump did not direct you to inflate the numbers on the statements of financial condition,” defense attorneys asked. Cohen did not answer until the judge compelled him to. “I stand with that response. ‘Not that I recall,’” he said. “So Mr. Trump never directed you to inflate the numbers on the financial statements?” “Correct,” Cohen said, backtracking on what he said on Tuesday. In response to Cohen’s admission, the defense requested that the case be brought to an end. The radical judge then denied the defense’s request.

Bartee: WATCH: Trump Prosecutor Letitia James Leads Anti-White Hate Chant

In a recently resurfaced video from 2018, the attorney general currently running the New York lawfare against Donald Trump is seen whipping an anti-white, TDS-riddled crowd into a frenzy with a witty Social Justice™ slogan: “[The Trump administration is] too male, too pale, and too stale!” But wait, there’s more!

Not only did James toss the phrase out to the crowd, which bathed in it like catnip, but she also took the opportunity, sensing she had a crowd-pleaser on her hands, to turn it into a BLM-style chant.

Prager U: NewsGuard: Fact-Checkers with Too Much Power

Thinking for yourself is no longer necessary. Have you heard of NewsGuard? Its mission is to “counter misinformation on behalf of readers, brands, and democracies.” In other words, it “guards” the news by telling you what you can and cannot trust. Of course, this begs the question: can you trust NewGuard? NewsGuard is backed by big pharma, big tech, the teachers unions and the government.

THE CORRUPT & DANGEROUS U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES & THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE APPARATUS

Taibbi: Thanks, to a Politician Who Did His Job

A new report about IRS home visits has just been released by the House Weaponization of Government Committee, chaired by Ohio congressman Jim Jordan. It outlines disturbing issues, including confirmation that IRS agents making home visits may come without warning, using aliases, and without informing local enforcement agencies of their presence. One of the cases outlined is my own. My home was visited by the IRS while I was testifying before Jordan’s Committee about the Twitter Files on March 9th. Sincere thanks are due to Chairman Jordan, whose staff not only demanded and got answers in my case, but achieved a concrete policy change, as IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel announced in July new procedures that would “end most” home visits.

GLOBALISM (GREAT RESET/ONE WORLD ORDER) & TRANS HUMANISM (AI HUMANS 2.0) ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED

Revolver.news: Buckle up: Australia becomes “ground zero” of the WEF “cash-free” society plan…

If there’s a hill to die on, politically speaking, it’s the “cashless society” issue. There’s no move the globalists could make that’s more powerful than eliminating cash from our lives. It’s a “nuclear” move; it will change the entire landscape of the earth in short order. Imagine how easy it will be to control the masses when all our “Dear Leaders” need to do is flip a switch to cut off a “dissident” from all his finances, effectively destroying his life. Do that a couple of times, and it’s likely everyone will quickly fall in line, don’t you think? This is why we must resist the globalist plan for a cash-free society, or “digital currency,” as they like to call it. One individual who truly grasps the alarming implications of a “cashless society” is Joe Rogan. He recognizes that he’d likely be among the first they’d target and totally wipe out—with a flip of the switch. It’ll be so damn easy for world regimes to silence and destroy all dissenters this way. […] WEF experiments on their plans for USA and EU ahead of 2024 elections.

Norquist: Biden deploying 20,000 climate activists and making you pay for it

President Joe Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline with a pen stroke on his first day in office. Thousands of American jobs were killed from the comfort of his desk using a 23KT gold-plated pen. Now with another pen he has committed your tax dollars to deploy 20,000 young political “climate activists.”

This is a make-work program for political progressives at the expense of working households. We pay for it. An official White House statement said the “Climate Corps” will “train young people” to “advance environmental justice” while “tackling climate change.” No law from Congress was enacted to authorize this Green New Deal youth patrol.

CHINA: AMERICA’S MORTAL ENEMY

Lopez: The CCP-Mideast Terror Connection

It’s long been known that the Soviet Union was deeply involved in collaboration with and training of Middle Eastern Islamic terror groups, like the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Much of this was learned from Ion Mihai Pacepa, former chief of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Romania, who defected to the U.S. in 1978, when he walked into the U.S. Embassy in Bonn, West Germany. The “Mitrokhin Files” added even more information about Russian sponsorship of Islamic terror. Vasiliy Mitrokhin was a KGB archivist who defected to the West in 1992, bringing out with him a treasure trove of secret documents.

Far less, however, is known about connections between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Middle East Islamic terror leaders. […] Far less, however, is known about connections between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Middle East Islamic terror leaders. Mohammed Deif is Hamas’ top military commander in the Gaza Strip; he heads the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades. He is currently one of the most hunted men on earth,  . . .

Sundance: Sunday Talks – Nat Sec Advisor Jake Sullivan Explains Hamas Holding 500 Americans Hostage as Human Shields

Appearing on CBS, Sullivan outlines the current coordination between the Biden administration and Israeli leadership. While he didn’t specifically say the words in the headline, instead describing exactly that while pretending something else, Hamas is FACTUALLY holding 500+ Americans hostage as human shields. […] The challenge right now, Margaret, is that the Egyptians are prepared to let Americans and other foreign nationals out of Gaza. The Israelis have no issue with that. But ¹Hamas is preventing their departure and making a series of demands. We’re trying to work through that to create a circumstance where all of the Americans who are in Gaza are able to get out. It is a priority for the President. He has no higher priority than their safe passage out. And he will continue to work at it until it is accomplished.

Greenfield: World War III is Here and We’re Losing It

World War III is everywhere and nowhere. Politicians and pundits predict it and warn about it as they’ve been doing for 70 years. And for all of that time we’ve been fighting World War III. Is WWIII in Iran or Ukraine? Yes in its own way. Is it in the confrontations in the South China Sea, the Hamas attack on Israel or in the riots in the streets of our own cities? Also all yes. Not to mention cartels smuggling drugs and foreign influence operations being run in D.C. And it’s in a thousand other incidents and crises, some that make the news and some that don’t, but that are all around us and others which have long become part of our history. It’s all WWIII. […] The winners and losers of the first two world wars were conditioned by their history to think of a world war as something apocalyptic, but WWIII as it is now is being fought by nations and movements that were on the sidelines or bit players in those conflicts, but who have absorbed the post-war strategies of those wars that terrorism, guerrilla warfare, influence campaigns, economic warfare and limited hostilities are better tools of ju-jitsu against great powers. […] While we still keep waiting for a big war to begin, our enemies have been winning it. World War III is here and we’re losing it because we don’t see what’s going on around us as a war. And so we never really fight back. A world war plays to our . . .

Wauck: Contrasting Views On Wider War

As it happens, yesterday Russia’s President Putin addressed these attitudes while warning of the danger that this war could spread beyond the Middle East: Putin Warns Gaza War Could Spread Beyond Middle East On the same day that a Hamas delegation made a rare visit to Moscow to discuss the crisis in Gaza, President Vladimir Putin warned in a speech that the conflict has the potential to spread well beyond the Middle East. […] Today there are two articles that present contrasting views on the concern that Putin raised. Will Schryver believes that the wider war that threatens is the desired outcome of the Neocons, and has long been played out. Alastair Crooke believes that a wider war could result from the Zhou regime’s panicked over reaction. Excerpts follow. Both views are worth study.

(H/T WC) Ibrahim: Will the Muslim Hedgehog Defeat the Western Fox?

One of the reasons that so many Muslims around the world, who ostensibly have nothing to do with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, were so elated by Hamas’s recent terror attack on Israelis is because Muslims have a sense of “purpose.” As strange, or even offensive, as this claim may seem, allow me to explain: Muslims around the world are inspired by the otherwise atrocious deeds of Hamas precisely because “most Muslims, unlike most Americans, have an intense historical awareness and see current events in a much deeper and broader perspective than we normally do,” to quote historian Bernard Lewis.

Indeed, for millions of Muslims, Hamas’s victorious jihadist strike of Oct. 7, 2023 falls squarely in line with centuries of victorious jihads, all the way back to the prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Added to the strong Muslim sense of history is the equally strong Muslim understanding that Islam—meaning “our tribe”—seeks power and supremacy over all that is un-Islamic (meaning “the other”). Conversely, being under “infidel” authority, with Palestinians under Israeli rule being the prime example, is an insufferable humiliation that must end and be avenged.

Congrats American taxpayer, you just paid for this male soldier to get his “facial feminization” procedure [VIDEO]…

Rest assured, America, your hard-earned tax dollars are backing the world’s most formidable military force… to embrace gender transitions. That’s right. Instead of focusing primarily on national defense and safeguarding our sovereignty, today’s United States military emphasizes inclusivity and progressiveness, which includes pushing the LGBTQ agenda down everybody’s gullet, and it’s costing you a fortune to play “make-believe” and “dress up” with mentally ill soldiers. This is an article from 2021, and it’s only gotten worse and more costly… The Pentagon has spent $15 million in the past five years to treat 1,892 transgender troops, including $11.5 million for psychotherapy and $3.1 million for surgeries, according to Defense Department data provided to Military.com […] To illustrate the extent of the absurdity, not only are these mentally ill people undergoing sex change surgeries on our dime, but they’re also receiving additional “facial feminization” to boot.

SIAs are illegal immigrants who are terrorists or aligned with terrorists. Carrell explains that, under normal conditions, when an SIA is apprehended, everything stops. Law enforcement is notified up to the level of the FBI. The SIA is taken into custody or deported and everyone knows where he is. Now, nothing really prevents an orchestrated uprising of what might be embedded terrorists in our midst, from taking place.

[…] Mr. Morgan suggested that the United States’ current top priority should be for the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force to conduct extensive interviews and background checks on the tens of thousands of special-interest aliens who have been released into the United States in the past several years and beyond. “That should be No. 1 right now,” he said.

THE WAR IN ISRAEL

FDD: 10 Things to Know About Hamas and Hospitals

Hamas has commanded a network of tunnels and terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip since it took control in 2007. The Iranian-backed Palestinian terrorist organization uses civilian areas, including hospitals, to store and launch rockets and spread propaganda. In violation of international law, Hamas also uses hospitals to hide command centers and shield operatives. Hamas uses hospitals as shields, in violation of the Geneva Conventions: According to international law, hospitals are not permitted to be used for military activity. According to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, “the responsible authorities shall ensure that the said medical establishments and units are, as far as possible, situated in such a manner that attacks against military objectives cannot imperil their safety.” A 1977 additional protocol says that “under no circumstances shall medical units be used in an attempt to shield military objectives from attack.” Firing rockets from near hospitals is Hamas doctrine: Storing weapons near civilian sites, including hospitals, is part of Hamas’s doctrine. A NATO report examining Hamas activities between 2008 and 2014 found that they fire “rockets, artillery, and mortars from or in proximity to heavily populated civilian areas, often from or near facilities which should be protected.” Journalists from numerous media outlets, including the Financial Times, provided eyewitness testimony of rockets launched from near hospitals. Hamas built a command center underneath Shifa hospital: For years, Hamas has been . . .

Spencer: Israel’s President: ‘The Hamas Attack Does Not Represent Islam’

Gee, that’s swell. Where are the Muslim leaders saying it? Israel’s President Isaac Herzog had some reassuring news for the world on Thursday: the appallingly ghastly and brutal Hamas attack on Israel doesn’t represent Islam. Herzog thus becomes the latest in a long, long line of non-Muslim leaders who are quick to assure us that the latest atrocity has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with what we all know and love as the warm and cuddly religion of peace. Herzog gave us this marvelous news as he visited the southern Israeli town of Rahat and met with local officials as well as with what Israel National News called “heads of Arab local authorities in the Negev and public representatives of the ‘Arab-Jewish war room’ – which helps families affected by the war.” Herzog declared: “We sincerely sympathize with the grief of the entire Arab public and the Bedouin society in particular.“ That’s marvelous. Now: does the Arab public and Bedouin society in particular sympathize with the grief of Israeli Jews? No doubt some do, but some don’t, and Herzog didn’t say anything about that possibility. Instead, the ceremonial leader was anxious to sound a conciliatory note, continuing: . . .

Price: Hamas calls on Palestinians in Gaza’s West Bank to ‘mobilise’ as terrorists say: ‘If you have a rifle… you should either kill a Jew or give it to Hamas’

Hamas has called on Palestinians in the West Bank to ‘mobilise’ in support of Gaza. The terrorist group called on those in the West Bank and ‘1948 territories’ – a term used by Palestinians meaning Israel in reference to when it was founded – to take up arms as Israel’s ground invasion begins.

Hamas reportedly said that it held Israel, the US and Western nations which support Israel ‘fully responsible for the series of heinous massacres’ against the people of Gaza, Al Jazeera reports. It called on Arab nations and and the international community to immediately take action to prevent ‘crimes and massacres’ against Palestinian people, and a top official has said it is ‘ready’ for Israel’s ground invasion. Crowds of hundreds of people in the city of Ramallah, on the West Bank chanted ‘If you have a rifle… you should either kill a Jew or give it to Hamas,’ according to video from Palestinian news agency Shehab.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that it struck 150 underground sites in Hamas’ vast underground terror tunnels that allow the terrorists to meet, organize, and move undetected throughout Gaza. The terrorists also store weapons, ammunition, and other military supplies in the tunnels. The terrorists use hardwired landlines, which allowed them to communicate without being intercepted by Israeli intelligence as they plotted the October 7 attacks.

Downey Jr.: Guess Where Some Hamas Big-Wigs Were Found Living

Hamas heavyweight Muhammad Qassem Sawalha, 62, was discovered living in London in a home bankrolled by UK citizens. Here’s the kicker: he lives in a Jewish neighborhood. Apparently, living amongst Jews isn’t so bad if a huge chunk of your home is paid for with someone else’s cheddar. Sawalha and his wife scored a tasty $136,500 taxpayer-funded kiss when they bought a two-story home in London for $390,000. The house is paid off. Sawalha, who is wanted in Israel for being a member of Hamas, skedaddled to London using a cousin’s passport in the 1990s and snagged his own British passport in the early 2000s. […]

Sawalha has a Hamas homie named Zaher Birawi, who lives nearby. Israel named Birawi as a “senior Hamas operative in Europe.” He is also a trustee of a British charity called “Education Aid for Palestinians.”

(H/T VV) Hoffman: Stimulants to help Hamas massacre civilians found on bodies of dead terrorists: report

Hamas terrorists were given bags of Captagon, a drug that allowed them to commit barbaric acts with a sense of indifference during the surprise attack on Israeli civilians on October 7, according to a new report. Instructions for making chemical bombs were also found on the bodies of neutralized terrorists.
The Jerusalem Post described the primary effects of the drug include “arousing feelings of euphoria, reducing the need for sleep, suppressing appetite, and providing sustained energy.”  Nir Dvori of Channel 12 reported that the synthetic amphetamine-type stimulant has been produced in southern Europe and trafficked through Turkey to the Arabian Peninsula.

(10/27/23) Goldsmith: Documentary ‘After Death’, The Latest From Angel Studios, Opens Today In Wide Release

The faith-based indie outfit behind summer blockbuster Sound of Freedom is out with documentary After Death, which opens in over 2,600 theaters this weekend, an extremely wide release for a doc that doesn’t also happen to be a concert film. The exploration of near-death experiences by survivors, scientists, medical professionals and authors that addresses the question of what happens when we die has pre-sold over 211,000 tickets. That’s according to the latest check of a constantly updating ticket counter on Angel’s website that estimates pre-orders based on integrations with ticketing platforms and exhibitors.

[…] Director Stephen Gray said the sudden loss of his brother-in-law at age 36 in part inspired the film. “Life can be short. My hope is that after watching After Death, it causes audiences to reflect and consider all of the evidence. Movies have a unique ability to help shape culture and this film allows us all to explore what happens when we die. We want everyone to come away feeling valued with a renewed sense of hope, that their life has meaning.”

Bond: Nearly 40 Percent of U.S. Gen Zs, 30 Percent of Young Christians Identify as LGBTQ, Poll Shows

The portion of the population that describes itself as gay has varied over the years, from 10 percent, based on research by Alfred Kinsey and widely promoted by the National Gay Task Force in 1977, to less than 6 percent in a recent Gallup poll. The pollster who worked on the new study, George Barna, attributes the unusually high number he found to social and news media coverage that makes it “safe and cool” for young Americans to identify as LGBTQ—whether or not it represents their actual sexual orientation. “It’s a subset of a larger issue, that this is a generation where three out of four are searching for meaning.

This is a group that doesn’t have a reason to get out of bed in the morning,” Barna says. “Therefore, the LGBTQ identity gives them comfort. […] The poll didn’t ask directly whether the respondent was gay or straight, asking instead to choose an answer to the question: “Thinking about your commitments, would you describe yourself as ….”Six responses were allowed, with the one garnering the most “yes” answers (75 percent) among Millennials being: “Searching for purpose in your life,” followed by 74 percent who answered: “Believe all religious faiths are of equal value.” […] “Why is it when previous generations were able to figure out why life was worth living, this one isn’t figuring it out?” he asks. “It has to do with the spiritual changes in America. They don’t buy into the Bible, they don’t trust God, they don’t believe in Jesus, and politics have codified that into law, and the media is a major part of it.”

Prestigiacomo: Derek Chauvin Attorney Talks U.S. Supreme Court Appeal: ‘Every Juror’ Had ‘A Stake’ In Outcome Of Trial

Legal representation for Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin has filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal to the contentious and highly-publicized case concerning the death of George Floyd. Attorney William Mohrman, doing an interview with The Daily Wire, said his client was denied the right to a fair trial, and emphasized how the jury was biased from the outset, especially one specific juror. […] “Under the Sixth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution, every criminal defendant is guaranteed a right to a fair trial,” the attorney explained. “And part of that fair trial-right is not to be tried in a location where the jurors have either been exposed to extensive pre-trial publicity, or there has been such community outrage and the like that the jurors, before they even were impaneled before the trial, would have concluded the defendant’s guilty, or would have been pressured into rendering a guilty verdict.”

[…] “During the questioning, I would say the vast majority — not only the vast majority, probably 75 to 80 percent of the jurors — expressed concerns for their own personal safety as a result of being impaneled on the jury,” […] The attorney also made the argument of potential juror misconduct regarding a specific juror, Juror 52. “Almost immediately after trial, Juror 52 was on a radio show, . . .

(Think it can’t happen in the U.S.? ) Gosselin: Germany: Employer Now Docking Wages Of Employees Who Eat Meat, Drive Autos!

Not only politicians, but also companies are starting to get hysterical when it to comes to climate. There are now drastic wage cuts if employees drive or eat meat. Germany’s APOLLO NEWS here reports that soccer club VfL Osnabrück is now “penalizing its employees with climate fines.” “Based on an individual CO₂ footprint calculated by the club, deductions are made from their salaries as a penalty for climate-unfriendly behavior,” reports the German site. As it’s probably a dream of many people to be employed by a professional sports team, the club will probably get away with it. Unhappy employees can be easily replaced.

Utter: Canada to make more people eligible for extermination via ‘assisted suicide’

It appears that Canada will soon be updating — and broadening — its medical assistance in dying (MAID) law.  The law, first put into effect in 2016, “allows” people to be euthanized if they have a “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” such as a serious illness or disability, that has put them in an advanced state of irreversible decline. There has been much talk in recent years in The Great White North of making those with mental illness “eligible” for MAID.  But, come March, the law will apparently be expanded to include not just the simply mentally ill, but those who are addicted to drugs.  That’s right: according to the aptly named VICE, substance abusers will soon have access to medically assisted dying in Trudeau’s utopia!  In the U.S., we only give them free crack pipes and syringes. […] Think of the suffering we could prevent!  What liberal/progressive/antifascist wouldn’t be proud of that?  The New Aryans in our governments could really clean up the place!  Maybe we could even make this part of the Green New Deal and the Great Reset! It might even prove to be the Final Solution!  Right?

Woulahan; GERMANY: Students At University of Augsburg Call For “Gloryholes” To Be Installed In Lecture Halls, Cite Benefit To Queer Community

A group of students at the University of Augsburg in Germany have called for “gloryholes” to be installed in lecture halls in order to contribute to the “diversification” of the campus. Glory holes are holes in walls or partitions created with the intention of allowing people to engage in anonymous sex acts in public.

According to the Presse-Augsburg, the student body at the University of Augsburg has an information board which allows students to make requests related to facilities, resources, or other school or campus-related needs. During student body meetings, applications are submitted, and top requests are then signaled to administration or faculty via the board. An application for three gloryholes to be installed in a lecture hall was submitted by a group of students, reading: “Three gloryholes are to be in the lecture hall center opposite the entrance … These should be built by the Department of Space and Construction and maintained by building management.” It continues with a list of specifications for the installation. “[The gloryholes] should be . . . […] On October 23, an email was sent out to the student body revealing that the gloryhole request would be voted on at the Student Convention, prompting outrage amongst the student body.
