'Country Music Is Dead' Trends After Kelsea Ballerini's CMT Awards Performance Goes Terribly Wrong: 

Ballerini and others responsible for the CMT performance seem to have no qualms about thumbing their noses at country fans in the worst way at the worst time. It is sad that country music is slipping into the grasp of the far left, but it should also remind conservatives of the importance of fighting back hard in the culture war.

Brown-shirt goons of the leftist/democrat party!-----Canadian Cops Watch As Radical Trans Activists Assault Lone Man Defending Kids | The Daily Wire

Canadian Cops Watch As Radical Trans Activists Assault Lone Man Defending Kids | The Daily Wire 

"Canadian police officers appeared to simply watch — and one appeared to smile — as radical trans activists approached and then eventually assaulted a lone counter-protester wearing a sandwich board sign that read, “Children can’t consent to puberty blockers.”
Video of the incident was shared by Chris Elston (@BillboardChris), who said that he was assaulted twice at the protest, and that police did nothing. 

When pressed to respond, police officers suggested that he might have cut his own nose — or that he had incited the trans activists to violence by showing up with a sign that they did not like...

Grand Valley State University students protest for higher, ‘livable’ campus wages

Grand Valley State University students protest for higher, ‘livable’ campus wages

"...At GVSU, student wages currently range from $10.10 to $17.70 per hour, according to the university’s website. 

A student’s hourly rate is calculated based on their job duties, skill level and required experience.
Many students are forced to work a job on campus because they don’t have transportation to get to off-campus jobs, where they are more likely to earn higher wages and be allowed to work more hours, said Marley Tommola, a junior from Holland.
...The issue of student wages was raised during public comment at the Feb. 24 GVSU Board of Trustees meeting, where four students from GVSU’s Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) group spoke to trustees about increasing student wages on campus...

Chinese Spy Balloon Collected Intelligence from U.S. Military Sites: 

The Chinese spy balloon that traversed across the continental U.S. before President Joe Biden had it shot down collected intelligence from sensitive military sites, at times doing figure eight formations to hover over certain sites according to a report.

Much here, read all!-----Banana Time for the Rule of Law

Banana Time for the Rule of Law - By Roger Kimball

• When agents of the deep state hector you about “the rule of law,” laugh in their faces.

"The Czech novelist Milan Kundera published The Joke, his first novel, in 1967. 

It traces the fortunes of Ludvik, a young student, after his politically correct girlfriend shows the Communist authorities a postcard he had written to her as a joke: 

• “Optimism is the opium of the people! A healthy atmosphere stinks of stupidity! Long live Trotsky! Ludvik.” 

As a result of this whimsy, Ludvik finds himself expelled from the Communist Party, the university, and is eventually conscripted to work in the mines.

• That’s the way things are in totalitarian societies. 

No jokes allowed, especially not jokes told at the expense of the regime.
Thus it is that North Korea banned sarcasm and irony.
Poor Ludvik suffered for his joke. 

But he got off easy compared to Douglass Mackey, a social media “influencer” who wrote under the pen name “Ricky Vaughn.”...

WATCH: Critical Race Theory Must Be Defeated To Achieve Equal Protection - Posted by William A. Jacobson

• “Having children look at their peers in third grade and think of them as members of a group identity rather than just the kid I play with is so destructive to society.”
• “Critical Race Theory has certain tenants, certain basics, such as we are a systemically racist society, that apparently neutral, legal, and other mechanisms of forced discrimination.”

Here’s the first clip:

He continued:
“...Those concepts are all being taught in elementary school and high schools and universities and everywhere,” Jacobson added.
“And it is true, as much as we’ve covered this we’ve never found a third grade book called ‘Introduction to Critical Race Theory’ and that is not how it works.”

Big Tech hires DOJ lawyers as DOJ investigates — the revolving door must end - Glenn H. Reynolds

• Big Tech firms are hiring lawyers away from the Department of Justice as the DOJ investigates them for antitrust violations.

"The Department of Justice is investigating Big Tech companies for antitrust violations, and it’s basically a case of DOJ vs. DOJ.
That’s because in preparation for just this sort of thing, firms have lawyered up — with hundreds of attorneys hired away from DOJ.
Big Tech companies — Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and HP — have hired at least 360 lawyers from the Department of Justice since 2011, found government watchdog American Accountability Foundation...
