NOTABLE QUOTES

Katya Sedgwick contributor to The American Mind: As a Soviet-born émigré, I’m disappointed but not overly concerned about Russia failing to develop into a democracy. Russians themselves are quite pleased with this arrangement. I am far more disheartened about the consolidation of power vertically stateside, and the slipping away of individual freedoms, and the general erosion of the American way of life of ordered liberty and individual self-sovereignty.

John & Nisha Whithead contributors to Brownstone Institute: Everything I have warned about for years—government overreach, invasive surveillance, martial law, abuse of powers, militarized police, weaponized technology used to track and control the citizenry, and so on—has become part of the government’s arsenal of terrifying lockdown powers should the need arise. What we should be bracing for is: what comes next?

Toby Rogers contributor to Brownstone Institute: A perverse incentive is when the rules, structures, or practices of any system reward bad behavior or sociopathic outcomes. I had to come up with my own definition because all of the official definitions claim that perverse incentives are unintended. However, after the events of the last four years many of us have grown skeptical that the harms we experience from bad policy and bad law are unintentional.

J.B. Shurk contributor to American Thinker: Given the fact that Earth’s climate is always naturally changing — whether humans are alive to notice or not — governments’ success in conditioning gullible people to fear every change in the weather has been remarkably effective in creating voluntary slaves.

Janet Levy contributor to American Thinker: The idea that past racism can be undone with more racism is ludicrous.  Affirmative action, established in the 1960s, emphasized equality of opportunity. But it has transmogrified — through the politics of DEI, sexual orientation, and gender identity — into a new form of racism emphasizing equality of outcome.

Mark Tapson contributor to Frontpage Magazine: The true concern of the Marxist Progressive (but I repeat myself) about museum spaces is not to ensure inclusion and representation, but to ensure that no one is stirred by beautiful art. It is to ensure that no one experiences that sense of transcendence which draws the human soul toward its origin and destiny in the divine. This is why Progressives loathe beauty – because magnificent art elevates us to a realm above politics and points us toward the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, the source of which is God. And Progressives reject God. Their religion is politics – or more specifically, the revolution is their religion. Beauty in all its forms threatens the State. It stirs in us passions that cannot be governed by totalitarians fearful of ungovernable citizens – passions for truth, for freedom, for greatness, for spiritual revelation. Beauty frees and enlarges us.

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

Earle: Trump’s net worth surges to $6.4 BILLION to make him one of the world’s 500 richest people for the first time after he completed his social media company’s lucrative merger

The former president’s net worth has climbed to $6.4 billion following last week’s announcement that Digital World Acquisition shareholders voted the special purpose acquisition company to merge with the Trump firm that owns his Truth Social platform. After a jump in its stock price, Trump’s net worth jumped by an astonishing $4 billion – which comes on top of his golf, real estate, and branding empire. The timing couldn’t be better for Trump, says he has almost $500 million in cash and has 10 days to come up with $175 million after a New York appeals court slashed a $454 court judgment against him.

York: Trump lawfare: The next stage begins

I have a story about a recent visit to Mar-a-Lago for a conversation with former President Donald Trump. At any given moment, there are lots of subjects in the news one could ask Trump about, but I decided to focus on a longer-term story — how he managed to come back from the disastrous end of his presidency in early 2021 to become the 2024 Republican Party presidential nominee. It’s really a story about the intensity gap between Trump’s supporters and everybody else. Remember that after Trump left office on Jan. 20, 2021, he was still awaiting a Senate impeachment trial (his second), Washington was reeling after a series of failed election challenges and Jan. 6, he was facing all sorts of investigations, and much of the political world had written him off for dead, “rebuked by many in his own party and exiled at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago,” in the words of a recent New York Times story. But Trump saw, and felt, something completely different. Here’s the short version of what he told me during our conversation in Florida: . . .

Duda: What we know about Arizona’s 2020 fake elector investigation

With grand jury proceedings underway, Attorney General Kris Mayes‘ office won’t say how much longer her fake Trump electors investigation will last. Why it matters: Mayes, a Democrat, launched the investigation last year to look into the 11 Arizona Republicans who signed documents falsely claiming former President Trump won the state in 2020. The big picture: Indictments could send shockwaves through the state as the false elector slate includes elected officials and other high-profile Republicans. They would also reverberate nationally. Trump is being charged by a Georgia district attorney following a similar false elector scheme there, as well as by the Department of Justice for broader alleged efforts to overturn the election.

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

Shurk: Globalism Thrives on Crisis

Globalists know that nothing drives public policy so much as the fear of impending death. Nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles may have scared the snot out of anyone living through the Cold War, but they were (and still are) the gifts that keep on giving for the military-industrial complex and national security surveillance State. The more catastrophic the consequences of any perceived threat, the more likely that otherwise skeptical human beings will hand over their freedoms in exchange for the elusive promise of personal security. Political systems specialize in exploiting this “Save Me!” impulse for maximum leverage. “Looming apocalypse” is Big Government’s best salesman every year. Ghost stories about “global warming” work the same way. If voters can be convinced that their economic freedom is leading to humanity’s extinction, then they will accept costly regulations and “green energy”-induced inflation. If they can be brainwashed into believing that hydrocarbon energy is evil, then they will actively protest for a future with intermittent yet expensive electric power. If they can be deluded into thinking that only politicians and central bankers can save the planet, then they will embrace communism in order to fight “climate change.” Given the fact that Earth’s climate is always naturally changing — whether humans are alive to notice or not — governments’ success in conditioning gullible people to fear every change in the weather has been remarkably effective in creating voluntary slaves.

Payne: Who pays when AI steers your doctor wrong?

Doctors using new artificial intelligence tools to help them diagnose and treat their patients say they wish Congress would provide some clarity on a big unanswered question: Who pays if AI makes a mistake? Advancements in AI promise to improve care, but only if doctors trust the systems and are protected from liability, according to the country’s leading physicians’ group, the American Medical Association. “We’re seeing lawsuits already,” AMA President Jesse Ehrenfeld said at a recent meeting on doctors’ lobbying priorities, adding the issue so far has been “a little bit [like] building the plane as you’re flying it.”

TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF CLIMATE DOOM MYTH: GLOBALIST POLITICIANS & BIG BUSINESS ACCUMULATE MORE  POWER & CONTROL

O.H. Skinner: The Modern Public Nuisance Movement Is a Growing Threat

The climate change public nuisance lawsuits are a particularly deep well of opportunity for leftwing activists and officials. Can’t stop people from buying meat through traditional regulations and legislation? Don’t worry, just say that meat companies have contributed to climate change and sue them for billions in an effort to all but stop them selling meat. Can’t stop people from buying gasoline?  Don’t worry, just sue oil companies, car companies, or anyone else who sold a gas-powered product, citing climate change. Just think of the possibilities for the Left. If climate change is a public nuisance under state common law, then basically any local government can sue the maker of a common consumer product, demanding money to “abate” the nuisance of climate change, which is to say demanding that somehow these companies stop the effects of worldwide climate change with their checkbook.

It is hard to imagine a better path to reshaping large parts of our economy and society – and all without having to bother with details like public policy debates, the legislative process, or votes at the ballot box.

Ring: Floating Offshore Wind Projects Will Squander Hundreds of Billions of Dollars

In December 2022, after years of planning, the U.S. Dept. of the Interior sold rights to develop offshore wind in five lease areas off the California coast. Five companies submitted successful bids, paying a total of $757 million for development rights. These leases are located 20 miles off the California coast in water approximately 4,000 feet deep. The floating wind turbines will be tethered to the ocean floor with cables, and each of them will also require a high-voltage transmission cable that will pass through the water and traverse the sea bottom for 20 miles to connect to the grid onshore. The environmental impact and logistical challenges of installing and operating these floating leviathans are devastating. With 25 gigawatts of installed “nameplate capacity” called for by 2045, even at 10 megawatts per wind turbine, this would require 2,500 floating turbines. Each one would tower roughly 1,000 feet from the water line to the tip of a rotor blade in vertical position, with substantial additional structure required underwater in the form of floatation pontoons and counterweights. To put this in perspective, these dimensions are longer than a modern American super-carrier. Imagine the impact on the California coast as…

Armstrong: 8 states are planning to BAN the sale of gas-powered cars entirely – after Biden unveiled ambitious plans to phase them out by 2032

At least eight states are planning to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars in the next decade – and others are considering joining them. Only zero-emission vehicles can be sold in participating states beginning from the 2035 model year, according to the Advanced Clean Cars II legislation. The rule, which was first adopted by California, means that automakers and dealerships would be banned from selling new gas cars in these states from that point onwards. Americans will not be forced to take their gas-powered cars off the road, however, and will still be able to buy used and secondhand gas vehicles. These states have gone further than the latest federal legislation announced last week, where the Biden administration released new rules to gradually phase out gas cars by 2032.

U.S. SUPREME COURT

Piper: ‘Do you think the FDA is infallible?’ SCOTUS mulls leaving feds unaccountable in abortion drug case

Do you think the FDA is infallible?” That question from Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito hung over oral argument Tuesday in a medical association’s challenge to the Food and Drug Administration’s loosening of access rules for abortion drug mifepristone, pitting the justices’ wariness of expanding legal standing with its fear of leaving the agency to its own devices. Between 2016 and 2021, the FDA expanded mifepristone’s gestational window from 7 to 10 weeks, removed mandatory reporting of non-fatal adverse events and most recently allowed mail-order of the drug, made by Danco, without an in-person visit.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN POLICY

Tawil: Biden Administration’s Terrorist Pier in Gaza: The Trojan Horse For Terrorists to Take Over the Region

  • Placing Qatar — rather than, say, the United Arab Emirates — in charge of the Gaza pier entrenches a terrorist-sponsoring Trojan Horse at Hamas’s beck and call. Qatar will use the pier to supply Hamas with more money and more powerful weapons. The port will also undoubtedly be used to smuggle Islamist jihadis from all around the world into the Gaza Strip to launch more massacres against Israelis.
  • Qatar has a long history of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist offshoots, but also Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hezbollah and the Al Nusra Front.
  • If Qatar really wants an end to the Israel-Hamas war, all it has to do is order its Hamas puppets immediately and unconditionally to release all the Israelis kidnapped by Hamas terrorists October 7 and held hostage in the Gaza Strip. Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashaal, who are based in Doha, would not be able to refuse. Qatar is their lifeline.
  • The Qataris, however, are evidently in no rush to pressure Hamas: Qatar is clearly facing no pressure from the Biden administration. On the contrary, the Biden administration just agreed to extended Qatar’s ability to host America’s Al-Udeid Air Base, the headquarters of CENTCOM, for another ten years – for nothing in return.

Smith: Biden Admin Stands Down, Allows U.N. to Pass Gaza Ceasefire Resolution for First Time

The U.N. successfully passed the resolution, introduced by 10 member nations and backed by Russia, China and a host of Arab nations, calls for an “immediate and sustained cease-fire” in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza as well as the unconditional release of the remaining hostages in the region. The Biden administration chose not to veto the resolution by abstaining for the first time since the war began, allowing it to pass with unilateral support. “This resolution must be implemented,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said immediately following the vote on Monday. “Failure would be unforgivable.”

The U.N. has taken up four similar resolutions since the war began on Oct. 7 but failed to pass them each time because of a U.S. veto, according to Axios. The U.S. chose not to veto the resolution on Monday because it includes a provision that demands the release of the hostages, one of the diplomats told Axios.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA’S AMERICA LAST REGIME: RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA

Mahoney: Illegal Aliens: Poor Documentation at Airport TSA Checkpoints

According to a Mar. 20, 2024 letter sent to TSA Director David Pekoske from Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, “TSA is reportedly allowing aliens without verifying identity documents to pass through airport security checkpoints” nationwide.” Instead, TSA is “relying on unverified biographical information gathered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through the CBP One application (CBP One),” the letter continues. The CBP One app allegedly allows many illegal aliens to go through airport TSA checkpoints with minimal identification while Americans are required to undergo rigorous security checks. This has some Americans up in arms. Sonya LaBosco and the Air Marshal National Council have partnered closely with the Committee to keep pressure on Pekoske to address this and other national security issues. While some illegals are sailing through TSA checkpoints, Americans must provide the proper TSA-approved photo IDs and are seemingly required to submit to facial recognition technology (CAT-2) used at American airports. […] The CBP One app is being used liberally at our nation’s borders, including our airports, allegedly to make the immigration process more efficient. The app allows illegals to schedule an appointment with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers to expeditiously grant them temporary human parole. The aliens are then released into the interior U.S. with a “notice to appear.” In many cases the appearance comes years after their entry. About 35 percent never appear for their immigration status hearing.

Spencer: Are You Ready for a Major Jihad Attack in the U.S.? Because It’s Coming.

What’s coming is as plain as day. Our nation can hardly be said to have a southern border at all anymore. Even if the border were magically to reappear tomorrow, millions of people are already in the country without anyone knowing who or what they are. One hundred sixty-nine people on the FBI’s terror watch list were caught at the border in 2023; nobody knows how many people on that watch list got across the nonexistent border without being caught. […] So what is to be done? Well, we can vote the bums out, but even if we do, all too many Republicans are just as squeamish as Democrats about incurring charges of “Islamophobia,” which can be a career killer even in these post-Oct. 7, post-Moscow, post-44,000 jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11 days. What’s more, cleaning up the desperately corrupt FBI and the entire rotten intelligence apparatus is not going to be done in a day, no matter who emerges victorious in November.

After that person was arrested, FBI agents posed as him online, and continued to chat with him. During those chats, King used the handle @pervchiguy, and wrote that he prefers children under age 10. In one message, King wrote “0-9 [years old] my fav. . . B[oy] and g[irl], though prefer b[oy],” according to the charges.

In addition to being an attorney, Shanahan, 38, runs a foundation dedicated to left-wing causes like abortion rights, criminal justice reform, and fighting climate change. According to the Wall Street Journal, prior to joining forces with Kennedy, Shanahan had a history of supporting Democratic campaigns, including Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. Kennedy is expected to formally introduce Shanahan as his running mate during an event scheduled for Tuesday in Oakland, Calif., Shanahan’s hometown. […] There’s something else about Shanahan that you should know, according to Charlie Kirk, the founder of TPUSA. […] While it’s hardly shocking that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would pick a radical leftist to join his ticket, it will be interesting to see how some conservatives who have found themselves attracted to Kennedy’s candidacy will respond to this selection. So far, they’ve refused to acknowledge his left-wing record, which includes donating extensively to Democrats, admiring Bernie Sanders and Louis Farrakhan, and supporting radical policies like the Green New Deal, divesting from fossil fuels, abortion on demand without limits, and huge tax hikes.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker—the perpetually frightened rich kid born on third base thinking he hit a triple—has a big fat political problem. He’s hosting the Democratic National Convention, his big fat coming out party in Chicago, in August. His fantasy? Becoming president of the United States of America.

And if they but open their eyes they’ll see exactly how the Democrats treat the sanctity of the vote.

Democracy Dies in Darkness is the slogan of The Washington Post, the leftist paper that promoted the Russia Collusion Hoax designed to destabilize the Trump administration. But they received the highest prize of corporate media. They’re all about democracy and darkness. But in Chicago, where the DNC is to be held, there is another way, the Chicago Way, the Johnny Rocco Way.

Now we find it in scattered chunks that match our age, habits, politics and passions. Why it matters: Traditional media, at least as a center of dominant power, is dead. Social media, as its replacement for news in the internet era, is declining in dominance.

Justice: Kristi Noem Would Be A Disaster As Donald Trump’s Veep

“Kristi Noem has been incredible fighting for me,” Trump said on Fox News last month. “She said, ‘I’d never run against him because I can’t beat him.’ That was a very nice thing to say.” Noem’s track record as governor, however, showcases a state executive more eager to capitulate to corporate constituents at the Chamber of Commerce and capitalize on the glamour of political stardom than governing on behalf of Republican voters. Three years ago, Noem shot down a transgender sports ban that would have barred males from competing in women’s sports. She ultimately signed a similar bill a year later as she faced re-election in the deep red state, after spending the 11 months prior aggressively sabotaging the effort to please corporate interests. That sabotage included funding primaries against members of her own party who acted on their knowledge that men and women are different.

The military materials were said to be from an organized smuggling project directed by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps personnel in Syria.

The plot was said to have been uncovered during interrogations of captured Palestinian militants who had been arrested under suspicion of planning attacks against Israelis.

Glick: Israel’s strategic game of survival

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer’s obscene call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ouster from power on the Senate floor on Thursday was the latest sign that Hamas’s strategy is working. On the “Caroline Glick Show” this week, U.S. Military Academy professor Col. John Spencer, who chairs West Point’s Urban Warfare Studies Program, explained that the terrorist organization’s goal for victory is a concerted political-military strategy. Hamas, he said, knew that Israeli Defense Forces would respond with force to its Oct. 7 assault in southern Israel. “They wanted Israel’s counterattack, and then they wanted to hold in the tunnels and use the hostages just to buy time for the international community—namely, the United States—to stop the IDF in their operations.” “Their only goal is to survive. […] It’s all about time. They want to survive Israel’s attack against them, which gives them immense political power. If they survive in any way, they have strategically won the war,” said Spencer. Hamas didn’t invent this strategy. This has been the Palestinians’ strategy for defeating Israel since at least the 1982 war in Lebanon. In that war, the PLO relied on the United States to force Israel to permit the PLO to survive to fight another day, by evacuating to Tunisia.

Fischberger: Israel Must Invade Rafah

Following the historic American abstention from the UN Security Council resolution calling for an Israel–Hamas ceasefire in Gaza for the duration of Ramadan, the West is waiting to see how the situation develops on the ground. But with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaling that a full-scale invasion of Rafah to take out Hamas’s final stronghold will indeed commence, it’s worth examining what makes the United States’s abstention so significant and how it will affect Israel’s war effort, if at all. […] The most damning proof that Biden’s abstention was a colossal moral blunder is that Hamas rushed to praise it. It was also politically foolish and unrealistic: a newly released Harvard-Harris poll found that only 37 percent of Americans favor a ceasefire that would leave Hamas in place and the hostages in its clutches; 63 percent think that a ceasefire should happen only after the release of all hostages and Hamas’s removal from power. In Israel, 82 percent of the public supports an invasion of Rafah, leaving the government with virtually no other option.

Foreign Desk News: Released Hamas Hostage First Israeli Woman to Publicly Discuss Sexual Assault in Captivity

On the day of her abduction, the 40-year-old attorney and Sderot native, described herself as living alone in a small house in Kibbutz Kfar Azza on the morning of the Oct. 7 invasion of southern Israel. Her home is located only 1.5 miles from the border with Gaza. Soussana said that she proceeded to a bomb shelter in her residence after hearing public air-raid warnings broadcasting throughout her community. As she waited for the presumed rocket attack to subside, she told the newspaper that she noticed the sound of encroaching gunfire. After experiencing what she described as a loud explosion, Soussana told The Times that approximately 10 armed terrorists entered her bedroom and began to beat her before the terrorists transported the injured woman to a waiting vehicle at the nearby border.

Green: Let’s Face It: the Hostages Are Probably Dead

During its Oct. 7 terror invasion of Israel, Hamas took more than 250 hostages of every age, sex, and nationality. Around 130 hostages remain in secret locations in the Gaza Strip — or do they? It’s a sad thing to have to conclude. But given recent political developments and actions on the ground in Gaza, it seems certain that most or perhaps all of the hostages are dead. They include, or perhaps I should say, included six Americans. Late Monday, Hamas rejected Israel’s generous offer of releasing “as many as 800 prisoners, including 100 inmates convicted of murder,” in exchange for just 40 hostages. Hamas rejected the offer, even after getting political cover provided by the Biden administration’s shameful abstention in Monday’s UN vote to demand a ceasefire that didn’t include the return of any hostages.

Bonchie: ’60 Minutes’ Gets Caught Red-Handed After Interview With ‘Misinformation Expert’

Leave it to “60 Minutes” to bring on the leader of a “misinformation research group” and then fail to disclose all the pertinent details of her background. The left-wing news program was caught red-handed when it was revealed that Kate Starbird isn’t actually an unbiased arbiter of truth and fiction.

The background of this story involves the following interview, in which Starbird and “60 Minutes'” Lesley Stahl complain that X (formerly Twitter) wasn’t at their beck and call to censor content they deem to be “misinformation.” What is with left-wing operatives and taking their style cues from Rachel Maddow? All that’s missing is a streak of purple in her hair. Regardless, on the merits, what Starbird says is derived from either dishonesty or stupidity.

Darcy: NBC News ousts Ronna McDaniel after network’s anchors launch unprecedented on-air rebellion

NBC News on Tuesday ousted former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, just days after her hiring as a paid political analyst sparked intense backlash from the network’s top television anchors over McDaniel’s role in subverting the 2020 election and attacks on the press. “There is no doubt that the last several days have been difficult for the News Group,” NBCUniversal News Group President Cesar Conde said in a memo to staff. “After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor.”

Morris: New York City begins giving illegal immigrants prepaid debit cards as part of $53 million pilot program

The first batch of debit cards, which are reportedly meant to be used by the illegal immigrants to purchase food and baby supplies, were handed out Monday to a handful of migrant families in the city, New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office confirmed to Fox News Digital. The effort is part of a reported $53 million pilot program to hand out prepaid credit cards to migrant families housed in hotels despite public outcry. The program, which the mayor’s office confirmed will provide migrant families of four with two children under 5 with up to $350 each week until the end of their stay, began with a limited number of families on Monday and will expand to about 115 families, or roughly 460 people, over the next week.

Prager: My Wife’s Black Anesthesiologist Wasn’t an Affirmative Action Hire

This world-class anesthesiologist was a black woman, a fact that made me think about affirmative action. Had I had any suspicion that this was a clinic that engaged in affirmative action, I would have wondered about this anesthesiologist: Was she chosen, at least in part, because she was black? But knowing this clinic, I had no doubt that anyone they hired would be chosen solely because she is an outstanding oncological surgeon, plastic surgeon, or anesthesiologist. How, in good conscience, can anyone who cares about any minority advocate affirmative action? Isn’t it obvious that wherever affirmative action exists, any member of the affirmed group will always have a cloud hanging over them? From the very beginning of affirmative action, I maintained that, although blacks deserved special consideration in hiring and college acceptance—given their long history of being discriminated against—affirmative action would only hurt them. And, indeed, that is precisely what has happened.

Arama: Hilarious: Climate Activist Humiliated by Sen. Kennedy Reveals What Dems Said to Him Afterward

We’ve seen Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) take apart Democratic witnesses appearing before the Senate in the past. But the humiliation he served up to Olympic skier Gus Schumacher last week was something else. I’m not sure why the Democrats put him forward as an “expert.”  But he had trouble answering even basic questions about what he was supposed to be talking about, which was climate change. This was true gold from Kennedy. […] It was a great example of the vacuousness of many of the Democratic witnesses. It appeared that they threw him up there just because he was a skier and looked nice, and they had no idea if he knew anything or if he could answer questions. It said so much about the Democrats.

Greenfield: Muslims Firebomb Store Over “Allah Socks”

Islam is a peaceful religion. It’s not in any way associated with violence except in response to Jews, Christians or Hindus defending themselves against it, or really serious issues like socks. Allah socks. A Malaysian court charged five executives from a minimart chain and its supplier with hurting religious feelings on Tuesday (Mar 26) after several pairs of socks emblazoned with the word “Allah” were put on sale in one of its stores. The case had drawn a rare royal rebuke from Malaysia’s king who called for an investigation and “strict action” against any party found guilty.

Sedgwick: Czar Vladimir

That Russian President Vladimir Putin would win another term in office was an easy bet to make. He won with what appears to be 87 percent of the vote and—more surprisingly—with 74 percent turnout, breaking his own records from previous contests. Even if the election itself was as questionable as critics claim, the enthusiasm that ordinary Russians show for their strongman is real. Lack of democratic institutions in a nation like Russia is not to be mistaken for a lack of popular support, which should be taken seriously. […] With state-controlled media setting the tone for public discourse, elections became a ritual exercise. Russians were excited to cast their votes for the man who’s been running the show for a quarter century. There is a sense of reassurance in Putin’s familiar presence and a feeling of belonging that forms with joint affirmation of the governing preferences of inhabitants of their vast nation. That feeling ties neatly in with Russia’s collectivist mindset, dating back to peasant communities, called mir, which translates as “world,” “community,” and “peace.”

Mailonline Reporter: Taliban vow to start stoning women to death in public for adultery in Afghanistan, as supreme leader blasts the West’s support for women’s rights

Addressing Western officials in a voice message broadcast on state TV Saturday, Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada called the Western human rights defenders ‘representatives of the devil’. ‘You say it’s a violation of women’s rights when we stone them to death. But we will soon implement the punishment for adultery,’ he told the West in his harshest comments since taking over Afghanistan in 2021. ‘We will flog women in public. We will stone them to death in public,’ he announced. ‘These are all against your democracy but we will continue doing it. ‘We both say we defend human rights – we do it as God’s representative and you as the devil’s,’ he added. […] The Taliban regained power in August 2021, following the collapse of the internationally supported government and the withdrawal of all US-led Western troops after nearly 20 years of involvement in the Afghan war.

Serran: CANAD IS OUT OF CONTROL: Calgary Judge Allows Woman With Autism To Receive Medically Assisted Suicide – Decision Stayed for 30 Days as Her Father Appeals His Ruling

In the beginning, proponents of the culture of death assure us that euthanasia and assisted suicide will be provided following ‘very strict’ guidelines and only for people in critical, unbearable condition.
