In a totalitarian society, nothing matters except the officially correct ideology — not even public safety, as the New York Fire Department confirms: The Fire Department has stopped requiring probationary firefighters to pass a job-related physical-skills test before getting hired — a move that critics derided as a lowering of standards. Why would a fire […]

The epidemic of homicidal racist cops isn’t the only imaginary crisis to beset America. There is also the epidemic of campus rapes. Rolling Stone’s ballyhooed case at University of Virginia turned out to be a hoax, but in the aftermath of California’s insane Yes Means Yes law, there are plenty of instances on the Left […]

A traditional Thanksgiving features a turkey dinner with the family and thanks to God for giving us the opportunity to create such bounty. But in case this is too politically incorrect for your taste, a professor proposes a liberal alternative: The modern portrayal of Thanksgiving is filled with historical inaccuracies based on a consumer culture, […]

Good news, bad news, good news regarding mankind’s final frontier. The good news — in light of Obama having devoted NASA to Muslim outreach and hysterical Marxist propaganda — is that Europe has picked up where the USA left off, demonstrating what the human race is capable of by landing a spacecraft on a comet […]

In the unlikely case that you haven’t noticed that our liberal ruling class despises our civilization and would like to see it obliterated by the Third World, this sharpened stick to the cornea might get the point across: The Seattle City Council has voted to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day on the same day as the […]

With every passing year, the liberal ruling class becomes more rigid and intolerant in its ideology, insisting that ever more of the past be disparaged or even eradicated for not conforming to the currently dominant mindset.

But no. The Soviet-style self-denunciation by Atlanta Hawks owner Bruce Levenson pushes it further still: Atlanta Hawks controlling owner Bruce Levenson has self-reported to the NBA […]

Enjoy bacon while you can. Raising pigs is not only offensive to Muslims, it is racist: Environmental groups have filed a civil-rights complaint against hog farmers in North Carolina, claiming that by maintaining farms near neighborhoods where minorities live, the pork producers are engaged in illegal discrimination against minorities. The 48-page complaint explains that the […]

The reason you can never give an inch to progressives is that if you do they will take another inch, then another and another. They will never stop, because there is always another word to ban, another freedom to take away. The campaign to ban references to Indians is illustrative. First liberal Jacobins insisted that […]

Like an algae infestation that consumes all the oxygen in a pond until every fish has died, political correctness is choking all life out of our civilization. Virtually any spontaneous demonstration of our national personality is a thought crime. Even the Village People, a multi-ethnic gay-friendly disco act that would seem to be diversity incarnate, […]

In totalitarian regimes, it is best not to be too garrulous. Anything you say — no matter how innocuous — can and might be used against you. An example from the repressive dystopia known as Taxachusetts: The seemingly innocent question posed by a Boston rental agent to Gladys Linder when they were searching for an […]

It turns out the sign language interpreter at the Nelson Mandela memorial political correctness festival was as ersatz as Barack Obama’s winning smile: An interpreter who was seen by millions of television viewers worldwide translating Nelson Mandela’s memorial service into sign language was a ‘fake’, according to South Africa’s deaf federation. The unidentified man, who […]
