Notre Dame to Be Rebuilt as Woke Theme Park

In 2019, Notre Dame suffered a devastating fire, which had the hallmarks of Islamic outreach. Looks like it will not be restored so much as repurposed. A conspiracy to radically alter the external appearance has been thwarted, but the inside of the famous cathedral may never be the same:

Under the proposed changes, confessional boxes, altars and classical sculptures will be replaced with modern art murals, and new sound and light effects to create “emotional spaces”.

There will be themed chapels on a “discovery trail”, with an emphasis on Africa and Asia, while quotes from the Bible will be projected onto chapel walls in various languages, including Mandarin.

The final chapel on the trail will have a strong environmental emphasis.

“It’s as if Disney were entering Notre-Dame,” fumes Parisian architect Maurice Culot. “It’s a kind of theme park and very childish and trivial given the grandeur of the place.”

Notre Dame also sustained severe damage during the French Revolution, but afterward it was restored to its previous glory. Today’s ruling class wants only to revile and pervert Western history. The people in charge refuse to preserve our heritage, much less restore it.

Mohammad permitted churches to remain standing in regions conquered by his armies, but did not allow new ones to be built or old ones to be restored. In effect, his policy is still in force where Notre Dame is concerned.

New Exhibit at College Football Hall of Farse

That which moonbattery corrupts, it reduces to farce. This has been conspicuously true of modern art, the news media, and the Democratic Party. Now that the world of sports has been absorbed by leftist politics, the same principle applies.

Recall that Sarah Fuller moved her teammates on Vanderbilt’s men’s football team to sentimental tears with a lame squib kick during a 41–0 loss. Even that was not absurd enough to fully reflect the ridiculousness of moonbattery. So the liberals who run sports pushed the preposterousness still further:

The College Football Hall Of Fame has added Sarah Fuller’s uniform to its collection…

Here’s why:

[T]his month she became the first female player to score in a Power 5 game when she kicked for an extra point last week before her two-game football career came to an end.

This is not the first award to be bestowed upon Sarah Fuller for her roll in reducing football to a comical exercise in political correctness:

Fuller was not only made the SEC special teams player of the week during the first week of December, but she was also nominated for a Courage Award.

In an offensive oversight that underscores how far we still have to go to correct historic injustice, Biden’s handlers have so far failed to offer her a cabinet position.

When they establish the Museum of American Decline, this will be found among the exhibits:

Coercive Funding for PBS and NPR May Stop

Looks like the road is out ahead for the coercively financed gravy train enjoyed by the leftist propagandists at PBS and NPR. Weeps likeminded AP:

The House narrowly voted Thursday to cut about $9.4 billion in spending already approved by Congress as President Donald Trump’s administration looks to follow through on work done by the Department of Government Efficiency when it was overseen by Elon Musk.

The package targets foreign aid programs and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides money for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service as well as thousands of public radio and television stations around the country. The vote was 214-212.

The bill needs only a simple majority to get through the Senate.

The Republican president asked lawmakers to rescind nearly $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which represents the full amount it’s slated to receive during the next two budget years.

Literally billions of dollars have been expropriated from hardworking Americans to finance silly left-wing crap like this:

Illegal alien riots are “almost festival-like.” You can see why liberals want us to be forced to pay for this propaganda.

Cheer up, moonbats. Democrats unanimously voted against cutting this outrageous waste. If they return to power, they will no doubt triple the old funding, if only to take revenge for being thwarted.

Last of Lib Media’s Credibility Goes Up in LA Smoke

Like cars in the middle of Los Angeles intersections, any vestige of credibility the legacy media might have retained has gone up in flames. Assuming that the American public learned nothing from the Black Lives Matter riots the media enthusiastically supported, establishment propagandists are echoing Kamala Harris by reprising their preposterous spin that left-wing riots are “mostly peaceful.”

John Heileman of MSNBC even avers that if there are any riots happening in Los Angeles, the National Guard caused them by trying to stop them:

Let’s hear the local ABC affiliate’s take:

Via Modernity:

The anchor, Marc Brown, stated that the situation “could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into massive confrontation, altercation between officers and demonstrators.”

Stopping people who are just having some fun watching cars burn could make the situation volatile. We wouldn’t want that, so authorities should just leave them to it:

Forget China, forget Iran. The Democratic Party is the #1 enemy of the United States. This applies to the establishment media, as it is the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.

Moonbats Riot Against ICE in Los Angeles

Importing a vast, rapidly reproducing underclass of Third Worlders likely to vote for whoever will take money from Americans and give it to them is integral to Democrat political strategy. Consequently, deporting illegal aliens is unacceptable from the liberal viewpoint — as they made clear yesterday in the Democrat stronghold Los Angeles:

Violence erupted in Downtown Los Angeles Friday as angry leftists surrounded and eventually began to vandalise an ICE facility and attack officers following a step up in raids and detention of illegal aliens by the federal agency.

ICE agents were filmed raiding different locations and escorting detained illegals into vans as leftists shouted obscenities, threw projectiles and in some cases even attempted to intervene.

It didn’t go well for some of the moonbats:

To the surprise of no one, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass sided with criminals and foreign invaders against her own country, proclaiming that ICE agents sow “terror in our communities.”

Worse even than her rhetoric,

Bass also reportedly attempted to block LAPD from intervening when ICE called for backup.

Too bad Bass can’t be arrested for impeding federal law enforcement — like David Huerta, president of SEIU California.

Governor Gavin Newsom is predictably taking Huerta’s side against the ICE agents attempting to defend the USA from the largest foreign invasion in human history. Demonstrating once again that liberals do not merely lie but tell the diametric opposite of the truth, Newsom characterizes Huerta as a “patriot.”

The media is doing its part by describing the riot as “largely peaceful” — shades of the liberal establishment-backed BLM riots.

In the end, leftists will always fall back on lawless violence. They are enemies not just of America but of civilization in general.

Kash Patel Swatted

Swatting is a perfect tactic for moonbats. Sneaky, dishonest, and most likely to kill those who exercise their Second Amendment rights, since they may produce a gun, not knowing what is going on as their home is laid siege to.

The idea of heavily armed government agents assailing the homes of the innocent, often in the middle of the night, must provide a warm glow of nostalgia for the terror inflicted by the founding fathers of modern liberalism, Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin.

Best of all, even the most cowardly can take part in swatting, because someone who makes an anonymous call is generally safe from consequences — unless they get so carried away in their arrogance that they swat the director of the FBI:

Via Daily Wire:

FBI Director Kash Patel left popular podcast host Joe Rogan in shock when he revealed that he’d been swatted just one day prior to his appearance on Rogan’s show.

Patel let the information slip while he and Rogan recorded “The Joe Rogan Experience” episode that dropped on Friday, and the host visibly recoiled at the thought.

Patel says he won’t bring a case just because he was the victim of the crime. But eventually wokesters will push their luck too far.

Biden 2028?

If Democrats get desperate enough, they can always run Joe Biden again. Never mind the stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Sleepy Joe says he’s feeling fine:

Biden is so fit, he says he “can beat the hell out of” Jake Tapper and coauthor Alex Thompson for finally documenting how unfit he has been for years:

If the media would ask us to believe he was in a condition to be president as recently as last year, why not in 2028 — assuming his half-animated corpse can still be propped up? MSM propagandists had better sell him like they did in 2020, or he might punch them out.

Macron Gets a Face Shove

Emmanuel Macron makes bellicose threats, but Putin doesn’t seem to take him seriously. Neither does his wife:

Moe employed a similarly respectful maneuver when he got annoyed by Curly.

The media brought in an Expert to determine that Macron did not enjoy this:

Macron betrayed his true feelings after being shoved in the face by wife Brigitte in a ‘shocking’ incident in front of the world’s media, a body language expert has revealed.

The French President appeared to ball one of his hands into a fist as he disembarked his plane in Vietnam moments after arriving in the country on Sunday night, Judi James pointed out. …

James told MailOnline that the interaction was far from a ‘playful’ moment of teasing between a husband and wife, as Macron and his inner circle had attempted to portray it.

Spin doctors for Macron (or “Micron,” as the Russians call him) first claimed the viral clip was inauthentic, then resorted to “blaming pro-Russian accounts for negative comments about the incident,” which they tried to spin as affectionate horseplay.

[Judi James] added that while the footage is not totally clear, it appears as though Brigitte used both hands to push her husband’s face, which ‘could have easily led to him going off-balance and stumbling over.’

When the couple then head down the plane step together, she said, ‘he seems to hold his hand out towards her… but they walk with no further touch.’

Even in a Europe demasculinized by moonbattery, this won’t be easy to live down. You would have to feel sorry for the guy — if he were not such a left-wing weenie. While in Vietnam,

He paid tribute at a Hanoi war memorial to those who fought the French colonial rulers and met with his counterpart Luong Cuong, as well as Communist Party general secretary To Lam.

Paying tribute to commies who triumphed over France is worse than the face shove.

Honorary Degrees Hit New Extreme of Worthlessness

The official ideology of academia is moonbattery, a fundamental component of which is self-hatred. So no one should be surprised that Smith College — a women’s college — just granted an honorary degree to a man who has waged war on women.

The honoree is Richard “Rachel” Levine…

…who has weaponized his medical position as a doctor to attack fairness in women’s sports, privacy in women’s intimate settings, and a generation’s ability to have children.

Levine took part in the abomination that was the Biden Regime as assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services.

[H]e has repeatedly condemned commonsense laws protecting women, claiming that these laws represent a threat not just to his worldview but to people’s health.

Mr. Levine has no regrets that he didn’t transition to a grotesque parody of a woman until relatively late in life, because that way he got to have kids.

Yet Levine seems not to care about the next generation’s ability to have children. Not only does he champion “gender-affirming care” for young people, but he pressured the World Professional Association for Transgender Health—an activist group masquerading as the authority on health care for transgender people—to remove age limits for transgender surgery.

As illustrated at ZeroHedge, bestowing honors on Levine expresses contempt not only for real women but for truth…

It is an interesting kind of horror that modern academia, an environment where objective facts should be most revered, has instead become an environment where objective facts are most reviled. The complete denial of biological reality within the western academic community is an enduring source of social disruption. Their continued promotion of gender fluid theory, based on zero concrete scientific evidence, is stealing opportunities from real women and turning western education into an embarrassing mockery.

…and for mental health:

The overarching problem with the trans movement is that it demands the normalization and even celebration of mental illness under protected group status. On the totem pole of social justice, trans people are at the top, enjoying a venerated position even above black women and gays.

There is one good reason for the Ivory Tower to lavish honors on Levine. He personifies moonbattery as well as anyone alive.

Not all real women are pleased:

In the interest of fairness, now let’s hear from the other side (LANGUAGE ALERT):

One of these sides has Big Education behind it.

Tim Walz Compares ICE to the Gestapo

Even by Democrat standards, the hypocrisy is astonishing. The leftist who presided over this level of Covid tyranny

…now says ICE is the Gestapo because it defends the country from foreign invasion by enforcing immigration law:

On the topic of Trump closing the illegal immigration floodgates that the Biden/Harris Administration had opened wide, Tim Walz proclaimed at a University of Minnesota law school commencement ceremony:

“This is what the crumbling of rule of law looks like in real time. And it’s exactly what the founders of this nation feared: A tyrant, abusing power to persecute scapegoats and enemies.”

Illegal alien gang members wreaking havoc on American streets are put-upon “scapegoats” according to Tampon Tim.

The “tyrant” rhetoric is as reckless as it is hypocritical:

On at least four different occasions, Trump has (fortunately) avoided assassination attempts.

Calling him a “tyrant” could be a siren’s call to unhinged, wannabe-assassins, because that word is explicitly tied to American assassination history: According to witnesses, John Wilkes Booth shouted, “Sic semper tyrannis!” after murdering President Lincoln.

Too bad moonbats don’t limit themselves to making statements with seashells.

Palm Springs Bomber Takes Liberalism to Next Stage

Modern liberalism approached its apotheosis in the person of Guy Edward Bartkus, who committed a suicide terror attack on a reproductive center in Palm Springs, California because he is ideologically opposed to human life:

A 25-year-old self-described “pro-mortalist” has been identified as the attacker who detonated a car bomb outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs Saturday — killing himself and injuring four other people, according to sources. …

Bartkus allegedly described his fanatical pro-death beliefs in written and recorded manifestos as being against bringing people into the world without their consent to spare them from future suffering, KCAL news reported.

The same argument is often used to justify abortion. Not to mention, babies are said to offend the climate.

Because he is opposed to suffering, Bartkus set off a bomb to kill and maim innocent people. The important thing to moonbats is their supposedly noble intentions.

Assuming progressives continue to progress, Bartkus was only slightly ahead of his time. I have been informed by a liberal establishmentarian in good standing that homosexuality should be encouraged because it prevents people from reproducing.

Democrats’ 2016 presidential candidate is a prominent spokesdemon for the liberal cause. Watch in horror as Hillary Clinton denounces her opponents for encouraging women to have babies (while also confirming the Great Replacement):

Moonbattery is hostile to human existence. What could be more evil?

Apparent Letitia James Statue in Times Square

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been in an especially foul mood lately. This might help cheer her up. Looks like they have put up a statue of her in Times Square:

Times Square’s new 12-foot sculpture, Grounded in the Stars, faced online ridicule, with comparisons to New York Attorney General Letitia James.

So it isn’t really Letitia James? That would explain the relatively cheery expression and slim figure.

Grounded in the Stars is not one of a kind. Modernity notes that similar eyesores have appeared in San Francisco, London, Rotterdam, and even Florence:

It’s part of the pursuit of uniformity, the dismantling of vibrant, diverse aesthetics, to be replaced with a sterile monoculture of sick modernity that prioritises ideology over beauty.

Statues represent ideals to inspire our aspirations. Healthy societies erect statues of their heroes. Many of these were torn down during the Black Lives Matter riots. They will be replaced by statues of random overweight black women.

TDS Drives Canada Off the Rails

Canada makes a convenient foil, given its proclivity to moonbattery, especially under recent leadership. Unfortunately, Trump’s trolling of our northern neighbor has cost us an ally:

Trump personally played an enormous role in returning an incompetent and ideologically bankrupt Liberal Party to power, after a campaign where Prime Minister Mark Carney made himself the anti-Trump…

Canada is even more moonbatty than elections reflect, because the Left is divided among multiple parties. Not this time though. Overreaction to Trump’s 51st state ribbing rallied it behind the odious Carney.

Justin Trudeau left such a foul taste in the mouth that even in Canada the countermoonbat candidate Pierre Poilievre was way out in front until recently.

Despite Conservatives’ gaining far more seats than Liberals and recording their best popular vote share in a generation, he lost his seat by just 3,000 votes in a race with over 90 candidates on the ballot. His platform of law and order, free markets, tighter control of immigration, and pushing back on the left’s social excesses was the exact medicine that Canada needed.

But Canadians decided they would rather stick it to Trump than save their own country from encroaching ruin.

With shame, it must be admitted that my fellow Boomers are largely to blame:

Boomers may figure they won’t live to see the Third World future liberals are imposing on Canada. But given the galloping rate of decay, many will have to sleep in the bed they have made by throwing this tantrum.

Still More Moonbattery in Washington State

As Seattle pulls it down the Democrat Death Spiral, Washington State sinks ever deeper into a maelstrom of moonbattery, inflicting race-based “justice,” distributing other people’s money on the basis of race, officially honoring Islamic holidays, and now imposing rent control and unemployment benefits for striking nonworkers.

From the approving moonbats at Associated Press:

In the final days of the Washington legislative session, lawmakers hashed out agreements to approve a bill that sets limits on rent increases and a measure that gives striking workers unemployment benefits.

They call it the Left Coast for a reason:

If signed into law, the rent stabilization bill would be among the first in the nation, adding Washington to states like Oregon and California that have sought new ways to curb homelessness. Washington joined Oregon in efforts to give striking workers unemployment payments…

Anyone doubt that this liberal weenie will sign the pernicious bills into law?

There is not much reason to work when the government forces other people to pay you to go on strike instead.

To gauge the effectiveness of curbing homelessness with rent control, look to New York City. The predictable effect is to prevent people from building new housing or becoming landlords.

Democrats want more homelessness, because they think it gives them political leverage. Otherwise they would not deliberately increase it under the Orwellian guise of decreasing it. As communist dictator and Founding Father of modern liberalism Vladimir Lenin is said to have said, “The worse, the better.”
