President Donald Trump has responded after Michelle Obama said she will never forgive him for putting her family at risk. In her forthcoming book Becoming, the former first lady wrote: The whole [birther] thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed. But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks. What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And…

The UK government have reportedly refused to offer asylum to a Pakistani Christian mother accused of blasphemy because the move would likely upset British Muslims. Asia Bibi spent eight years on death row in Pakistan after a group of Muslim women accused her of making insulting remarks about Mohammed in 2009. Bibi was recently released from prison after she was acquitted of the charge. Following the acquittal, thousands of Muslim men took to the streets of Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad to protest the decision and call for Bibi’s immediate beheading. “The entire nation of Pakistan is riled up and against…

Two women have said they were denied service at a restaurant in New York for wearing pro-Trump hats and t-shirts displaying the phrase, “Make America Great Again.” “We originally walked inside and asked for a table for two and he said that the wait was 2-hours because of our hats,” the women explained in a video posted on Twitter. “So, we got turned down – two Jewish women got kicked out of a restaurant in New York.” It’s one thing to have the freedom to refuse to create and advance a message you’re fundamentally opposed to, such as in the…

By no means is this a conclusive run down on what I see as the need to find, and advocate for, a fair use of the vehicles we choose to communicate, and receive information through.  By pointing out inconsistencies, and connecting them to a possible cause, my purpose here is primarily an attempt to suggest, that when it comes to social media, we practice the proverb of looking before we leap. A few years back an incident showed me the contrast between hard reality, and cheap comment. Comments from people, who in the comfort of relative security, only seem to be far more concerned with the side of the story that sells best, than with finding balance. Surely,…

CNN’s Jim Acosta had his hard pass revoked after he physically prevented a female White House aide from taking the microphone from him. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said, “We stand by our decision to revoke this individual’s hard pass. We will not tolerate the inappropriate behavior clearly documented in this video.” We stand by our decision to revoke this individual’s hard pass.

Maylands bookstore Rabble Books and Games has invited two Perth drag performers Donna Kebab and Perri Oxide to read queer-themed books to “young kids”. The social media accounts of the two men are littered with erotic female costumes, which can only be intended to sexually excite their audience. The bookstore claims “this event is for everyone, but especially young kids. If you are a grown up whose heart sings at the idea of this (like mine), you are so welcome to come.” One of the gay men dressed in drag, Perri Oxide, posts sexualised XXX-themed content to social media, with…

A mob of leftist protesters rallied outside the Washington D.C. family home of Fox News host and father of four, Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night. The Antifa mob reportedly rang the door bell and chanted, “racist scumbag, leave town!” An “anti-fascism” group called “Smash Racism DC” posted a series of videos showing the incident on their Twitter account saying, “Tucker Carlson, we will fight! We know where you sleep at night”. “No borders! No walls! No USA at all!” This is sick. Antifa are right now protecting in front of @TuckerCarlson house, because he supports the border wall. pic.twitter.com/7bq2e7v4pL —…

About three weeks after announcing her conversion to Islam, Sinead O’Connor posted a tweet that she described as “so racist” that she “never thought her soul could ever feel it.” “I’m terribly sorry. What I’m about to say is something so racist I never thought my soul could ever feel it,” she said. “But truly I never wanna spend time with white people again (if that’s what non-muslims are called). Not for one moment, for any reason. They are disgusting.” I'm terribly sorry. What I'm about to say is something so racist I never thought my soul could ever feel…

A 69-year-old man from the Netherlands is suing authorities after they refused to allowed him to reduce his age by 20-years. Emile Ratelband has argued that if transgender people are legally permitted to change their sex then he should be allowed to change the date of his birth. “I have done a check-up and what does it show? My biological age is 45-years,” Mr Ratelband said. “When I’m 69, I’m limited. If I’m 49, then I can buy a new house, drive a different car. I can take up more work. “When I’m on Tinder and it says I’m 69,…

President Donald Trump has slammed CNN’s Jim Acosta during a press conference following the midterm elections. The row began win Acosta criticized the President for referring to the migrant caravan as an invasion and demonizing immigrant. “I want [migrants] to come into the country, but they have to come in legally,” the President said. “You know, they have to come in, Jim, through a process,” he added. “Your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls, and so on,” Acosta responded. “Well, that’s true,” President Trump said. “They weren’t actors. It’s true. Do you think they were actors?” “They’re…

The ABC is being slammed, yet again. This time for their most recent episode of Q&A, where sexologist Nikki Goldstein suggested socially inept people could benefit from sex bots. “I feel like there are people who really do struggle to have these intimate connections,” Goldstein said. “I’ve interviewed people before that go to brothels, and they feel that the only way they can have this girlfriend experience is to be paying for it. They don’t necessarily want to be there.” “Now when I think of sex robots and where we’re going with A.I. technology, I feel like that’s the perfect…

There’s an eerie similarity between the protests against Asia Bibi and the protests against Brett Kavanaugh. The tension, and rhetoric, of anti-blasphemy protesters in Pakistan, are at the same fever pitch, as anti-Kavanaugh protests were during the senate hearings, surrounding Kavanaugh’s supreme court nomination (and subsequent confirmation) in the United States. Placards brandished about during the Ford-Kavanaugh debate which labeled Kavanaugh a rapist (without evidence or a judicial trial), have much of the same intensity as the placards brandished about by Islamist protestors in Pakistan. For evidence of this, see the long list of celebrity outrage expressed online against the…

Flashback to 2011 when British politician Godfrey Bloom slammed “ridiculous, ineffective, ignorant politicians” who send their countries broke by spending more money than they have: “I’ve put a little bit of modest money away so I can hand something down to my family when I pass on.” Bloom said. “Largely because I’ve never spent more money than I’ve earned, and I’ve been prudent, and I’ve worked moderately hard. “Now, it always seems to me to be a complete surprise to politicians how countries get in debt. Let me explain because I don’t think you really understand it: It’s because politicians…

Economics tells us that the value of a thing is nothing more or less than what someone is willing to pay for it. The most amazing painting, the rarest antique, the most ingenious book… none of these have any value if no-one wants them. What, then, is the value of a person? If this question were asked in eighteenth-century Britain, the answer would be something like “three guineas, maybe four. Does he have all his teeth?” At that time, the slave trade treated humans as a commodity within a capitalist framework. The economics definition applied:like gold, oil and toilet-paper, a…

Live Action have shared a video of Planned Parenthood accepting a donation for the specific purpose of reducing the number of black babies in Ohio. “If you specifically want it to underwrite an abortion for a minority person, you can target it that way,” a Planned Parenthood administrative assistant said. “You can specify that that’s how you want it spent.” “There’s definitely way too many black people in Ohio, so I’m just trying to do my part,” the man said. “Okay, whatever,” the administrator responded. “Blacks especially need abortions too,” the man went on to say. “So that’s what I’m…

NBC’s Saturday Night Live has been slammed after a skit, featuring Pete Davidson, mocked the appearance of a former Navy SEAL who lost his eye during a mission in Helman province, Afghanistan. Davidson compared Rep. Dan Crenshaw to a “hitman in a porno movie” in the segment that even CNN went on to criticize. “You may be surprised to hear he’s a congressional candidate in Texas and not a hit-man in a porno movie,” Davidson said. “I’m sorry, I know, he lost his eye in war, or whatever. Whatever.” Even CNN blasts NBC's SNL for mocking wounded veteran & GOP…

The failure of multiculturalism is that it generally assumes all cultures are equal, or at least, that all cultures share the same vague commitment to the arbitrary notion of diversity in harmony. In reality, this is simply not the case. Time after time we witness countless examples of those, particularly from Islamic cultures, refusing to harmoniously exist alongside those who do not share their religious, moral or political beliefs. Today we have just another example of this very thing taking place, but what’s worse, we now have authorities and people in power operating to preserve the sensitivities of people from…

According to the Oxford Dictionary, a Social Justice Warrior is ‘a person who expresses or promotes socially progressive views.’ The online Urban dictionary offers a more substantial explanation: A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A social justice warrior, or SJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the groups they are fighting on behalf of. They typically repeat points from whoever is the most…

Peta Credlin: “If Nauru is, as we’re constantly told, a hellhole of rampant illness and people on the edge of suicide, it’s surprising isn’t it then that 71 of these people don’t want to live for a new life in the U.S. “Here are refugees who supposedly can’t go back home, they’ve been stuck in this alleged nightmare, no-man’s land for five years, yet they won’t go to America. “For people who are supposed to be desperate, they’re incredibly picky about which safe new first-world country they’ll accept… “According to [the] Daily Telegraph, these refugees knocked back the United States…
