Brussels is the de facto capital of the European Union. The city has fallen to Europe’s worst enemies, both external and internal. Consequently:

Police descended upon a Brussels conference venue on Tuesday morning on the orders of local mayor Emir Kir to prevent a political conference from taking place. Delegates and speakers who had not yet made it into the building were blocked from entering… The conference is slated to feature a range of political speakers including Brexit leader Nigel Farage, the Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban, former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman, and other conservative thinkers and legislators.

Such speakers are regarded as offensive to the Islamoleftist alliance as personified by the socialist Turk Emir Kir.

Former French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour was among those physically prevented from entering the conference venue.

Zemmour accused Brussels municipal mayor Emir Kir of being “close to the Turkish Islamists” and using the police as “a private militia” to shut down discussion.

As noted by Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Belgian constitution. Apparently this document does still apply even in colonized Brussels:

A conservative conference in Brussels has resumed after a court overturned the local mayor’s order to shut it down. …

The Mayor of Brussels justified the order to ban the conference to “guarantee public safety”, adding “the far right is not welcome”.

Extrapolating from current trends, such a conference will be inconceivable in Europe in the coming decades.

If Joe Biden is clever enough to serve as Commander in Chief of the USA, he ought to be put in charge of Israel’s fight for survival against Islamomaniacs. Never mind; he already is in charge of it. Watch as he delivers orders not to move on Haifa:

Haifa is the third-largest city in Israel. This is equivalent to Netanyahu demanding Biden not move on Chicago.

The liberal establishment would be hard pressed to find a more appropriate figurehead than this clueless moron.

To work as a surgical oncologist, you must meet certain requirements. Prominent among these at UC Davis is compliance with DEI ideology:

Applicants for a job as a surgical oncologist must submit a “Statement of Contributions to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” to be considered at the University of California Davis.

“Contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion documented in the application file will be used to evaluate applicants,” the job listing for an “academic surgical oncologist/breast surgeon” states.

Iran is considered a totalitarian theocracy because everyone is required to comply with Islam. But I doubt you need to submit a statement detailing your contributions to jihad to work as a surgeon. The ayatollahs running the place are fanatical, but not compared to the moonbats running our schools.

[W]hile a DEI statement is mandatory, a “Statement of Teaching” and “Statement of Research” both are listed as optional under the job application instructions.

You can’t prioritize everything.

The effect on patients’ well-being of surgeons being chosen on the basis of social engineering and/or political orthodoxy rather than professional skill is irrelevant to educrats.

It isn’t just UC Davis:

For example, San Diego State University’s job listing in 2022 for a cancer biologist also required a DEI statement, as reported by City Journal.

The subversion of the medical field by leftists and its subordination to moonbattery will lower the quality of healthcare and cost lives.

Then again, if janitors have to submit DEI statements to get hired, equity demands that surgeons should too.

We can’t use readily available fossil fuels, because they are said to be offensive to the atavistic weather gods worshiped by liberals. We can’t use clean and affordable nuclear power, because libs don’t like that either. Wind and solar are great for laundering taxpayer money, but are not capable of generating more than a small fraction of our energy needs. What then can we use to keep the lights on, wheels rolling, and jets in the air? Moonbats have the answer. It is something they can supply in great abundance — because they are full of it:

Wizz Air is making waves with its recent announcement that up to 10% of its flights could be powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) derived from human waste by 2030. In an innovative approach to tackling the dual challenges of waste management and sustainable air travel, the Hungarian budget airline is joining forces with UK-based Firefly to transform sewage sludge into a biofuel that could see passengers flying on planes powered by an unusual source—human feces.

They ought to use urine, considering the name of the airline.

So long as moonbats remain in charge, the biofuel will pile up ever deeper:

The bold move by Wizz Air comes amid increasing pressure from the EU for airlines to adapt to more sustainable practices, with a mandate requiring a minimum of 20% of jet fuel to qualify as SAF by 2035, escalating to 70% by 2050.

In the USA, this form of biofuel is already heavily subsidized, although for now it is mostly used in academia rather than energy production.

Sexual psychosis is a serious problem in our society. It should be treated like the illness it is rather than encouraged in the name of leftist politics. Maniacs like Layla Le Fey do not need egging on:

Le Fey, 44, was handed a combined 20-week suspended sentence for violent threats he sent to Helen Joyce and Kellie Jay Keen, two well-known women critical of gender identity ideology, in which he fantasized about butchering and dismembering them.

Le Fey says he is “interested in setting fire” to Keen’s home — with her inside.

Le Fey had also communicated his desire to “kick the s**t out of” her, rip her eyes out, and break her spine in a bizarre bid to “prove [her] point” that “some trans people are extremely violent.” That same day, Le Fey stated that he would enjoy either seeing Keen brutally killed by a “misogynist psychopath” or acting out the murder himself.

No doubt she has it coming for being a transphobe. Transphobia = genocide. Take a Gender Studies course at any liberal arts college if you don’t believe me.

As for author Helen Joyce, Director of Advocacy for women’s rights charity Sex Matters,

“God how I would love to just rip your eyes out, chop your hands off, and carve your face up really badly,” Le Fey said to Joyce on March 20.

The idea is to terrify resistance to LGBTism into silence. The threats carry wait because if a guy is crazy enough to go around dressed like a red light district version of Corporal Klinger, he might be crazy enough to act on them — as a visit to the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors will confirm.

Le Fey was sentenced to a consecutive 10 weeks for the threats against Keen, and another 10 concurrent weeks for the messages he sent to Joyce.

Even this wrist slap of a sentence was suspended.

At least there is an 18-month restraining order keeping him away from Keen and Joyce. They must feel totally safe now. Or maybe not:

Le Fey has a history of violence, and, according to the Daily Mail, a lengthy criminal record. He has been convicted for more than 50 prior offenses, including several for wielding weapons in public.

Good thing for him that he claims to be a woman:

Le Fey had also previously avoided a prison sentence as a direct result of his transgender status.

That was for brandishing a claw hammer while stealing wine from a store. Membership has its privileges — especially membership in identity groups worshiped by leftists as “oppressed.”

Of the four branches of government, the most powerful is the bureaucratic branch. Because it does not have to stand for elections, it uniformly backs the Party of Government, working relentlessly to promote the Democrat agenda in big ways and small. Here’s an example of it promoting the liberal sacrament of abortion:

Workers are entitled to time off and other job accommodations for abortions … under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, according to finalized federal regulations published Monday.

Legal scholars will search in vain for the clause of the Constitution that bestows upon the federal government the authority to dictate to private employers that they must provide women with time off to facilitate killing their babies.

The problem with leftists’ race-based strategy is that blacks make up only 13% of the American population. But Democrats are working on that via welfare and immigration policy. New York represents a microcosm of the progress they are making:

The New York Post reports:

About 1,300 African migrants gathered outside City Hall Tuesday morning hoping to appear at a hearing on the black experience in the city shelter system — with some saying they were promised work visas or green cards if they showed. …

The crowd was mostly made up of new arrivals from Guinea, in West Africa, and were apparently drawn to City Hall by an activist group, a source told The Post.

The newcomers have gripes. For example, they don’t like their free cheese, according to Assitan Makadji of African Communities Together:

“They’re not used to cheese but they don’t have no choice because in the shelter that’s what they serve. If they go to the pantry they can get food but it’s not cooked food and they can’t cook in the shelter. So we’re looking for cooked food for them,” she told The Post.

What, no room service?

Western Journal reports on their disappointment:

“They all are saying that this is not what they were expecting,” CBS News New York’s John Dias said in a live report on the scene of the protest.

What are they going to do now, return home? Not likely.

Their dissatisfaction will be easy for Democrats to weaponize against the native population the newcomers have been imported to displace. New York City Councilmember Alexa Avilés is already at it:

Public school students have been encouraged to identify as members of the opposite sex. From there, it was a short step to kids identifying as other species:

A records request discovered 196 documents at Ann Arbor Public Schools about “therians” – students identifying as “a species of non-human animal on every level except physical.”

The students show their animal identity by wearing masks, a tail and running around on four limbs called “quadrobics.”

What else would you expect in a college town?

The documents were a treasure trove, revealing new identities that may have been unknown outside the confines of public schools, including:

• Kitluvollic: a gender relating to kittens, pink, love and dolls.

• Animagauditraitic: a gender related to being excited and happy, but in an animalistic way…

• Wizcatgender: a gender related to being a wizard and a cat.

• Traitblur: a label for being unable to differentiate your identity from your interests.

• Starwashic: this gender feels like stars washing up on a beach

• Prettygender: a new xenogender based off of feeling pretty or beautiful, comfort with one’s gender…

It seems likely that as with LGBT identities, teachers have had some input in coming up with these terms.

As for learning to read, write, and do basic math, that will have to wait until college. Good thing the governor has promised to make taxpayers finance free college for everyone.

Joe Biden describes himself as the “the most pro-union president in American history.” It is largely on behalf of unions that his regime aspires to throw millions of Americans out of work by making freelance work illegal in the erstwhile Land of the Free. As with the civil rights movement, any good unions accomplished in the past is overshadowed by their current perniciousness. To get an idea of how malevolent unions have become, let’s peak through the basement windows at the headquarters of the largest private sector union in the country — the Teamsters:

“Death to America,” far left activists chanted as they convened in the basement of the Teamsters Union’s headquarters on Saturday to discuss plans on how to disrupt the Democratic National Convention on August 19…

They even learned to chant it in Farsi/Persian, the language of Iran, which has been at war with the USA since Islamists took over in 1979.

It was reportedly Shabbir Rizvi, an organizer with Anti-War Committee Chicago, who led the Farsi lesson.

As usual, it started with a denunciation of the Little Satan and quickly moved on to the main target. Rizvi’s audience of left-wing activists took up the chant with enthusiasm.

There isn’t any nuance here. These are the bad guys.

Left unchecked, leftists will erase Germany. The last Germans will see their liberties progressively choked off to nothing in the name of the green ideology that has been employed to destroy them. Soon they may be forbidden from driving on weekends to please the climate:

Germany’s transport minister has warned that driving will have to be banned at the weekends unless the country’s net zero laws are changed.

Volker Wissing’s FDP party wants the law amended so the polluting transport sector can miss carbon emissions reduction targets, as long as Germany as a whole reaches them.

But the change is opposed by the Greens, who are part of the three-way coalition with the pro-business FDP and the Social Democrats (SPD), led by Olaf Scholz, the chancellor. …

Greenhouse emissions in Europe’s biggest economy fell to the lowest level in 70 years in 2023, but the transport sector has been consistently failing to meet its climate targets.

The climate cult won’t rest until Germany produces no emissions at all — that is, until it ceases to exist.

As they make obvious while shrieking about “colonialism” and “white supremacy,” leftists hate Western Civilization. They mean to diminish, degrade, and eventually eradicate it. The global warming hoax is a useful tool for this purpose. Germany’s rulers are employing their phony weather-based religion to dismantle the economy.

David Blackmon notes that ThyssenKrupp, one of the world’s largest steel producers, recently announced it will cut output by 20%. This has been attributed to “energy costs owing to climate policy objectives” and “unchecked” steel imports from Asia.

Blackmon puts this in the context of a larger strategy:

1. Use climate policy to force massively higher energy costs on the population and industry;

2. Item #1 above inevitably results in rapid de-industrialization of what once was the leading industrial economy in Europe;

3. This leads inevitably to Germany becoming a de facto vassal state of China, which can provide all the steel the deindustrialized, down-sized German economy could ever need at cut-rate prices;

4. The combination of items 1-3 above lead inexorably to the final solution, which is Malthusian depopulation of the German homeland.

Add to this the ongoing tsunami of Muslim immigration and you have a workable plan to erase Germany.

The Islamic nation that replaces it won’t be as environmentally conscientious, but that’s beside the point. The stated issue is never the issue with leftists.
