Maxine Waters and the 'James Brown Wig' (VIDEO)

Here's another faux racist incident, featuring another far-left nutjob, Rep. Maxine Waters of Los Angeles.

Apparently O'Reilly's apologized, but he shouldn't have had to. It's not racist to make a funny remark about someone's wig. And it is a "James Brown wig." He's absolutely right.

This is leftist thought control at its finest (or worst, depending on your perspective).

At USA Today, via Memeorandum, "Rep. Maxine Waters claps back at Bill O'Reilly after hair insult."

Linked there is Refinery 29 (more nutjobs), "This Is Why #BlackWomenAtWork Has Gone Viral."



Hannah Smothers, Feminist Psycho

These people are seriously weird.

And notice the woman's selfie with feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

Far-Left Nutjobs Chained Themselves to Plane at Stansted Airport to Thwart Deportation Flight

Well, I'm literally shaking my head at this.

At the Telegraph U.K., "Three held at Stansted Airport after deportation protesters lock themselves to plane."

There's a Facebook page, apparently, named "Lesbians and Gays Support the Migrants."

These people are psycho.

Indonesian Man Swallowed by Python

Make that one hungry python. Damn!

At USA Today, "Indonesian farmer swallowed whole by 23-foot-long python."


CAUTION: It's pretty disturbing to watch.

Black Leftist April Ryan Shaking Her Head at Press Secretary Sean Spicer (VIDEO)

Spicer just mention she's shaking her head and all of a sudden this turns into a brutal racial beating, or something. It's like we're back at Selma.

At WaPo, via Memeorandum, "April Ryan on Sean Spicer's insulting behavior: 'I'll be back'."



Devon A. Mihesuah, American Indians

*BUMPED.*

This book even debunks some of the false memes radical Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz spews, for example, that epidemic disease was secondary, if not tertiary (or so on), to genocide in the conquest of American Indians.

Britain Initiates Formal Withdrawal from the European Union (VIDEO)

Free at last.

At the Los Angeles Times, "'Brexit' begins as Britain gives formal notice of withdrawal from the EU":

The formal two-year process governing Britain's departure from the European Union began in earnest Wednesday as a letter was delivered to the president of the European Council giving official notice that the country wishes to withdraw from the political and economic confederation.

The letter, signed by Prime Minister Theresa May and several pages long, will fundamentally shape the future of Britain and Europe for generations to come.

The letter was handed over by Sir Tim Barrow, Britain’s ambassador to the EU, and European Council President Donald Tusk released a brief statement on Twitter acknowledging receipt.

At a news conference in Brussels, Tusk appeared somber and said: "This is about damage control."

"Our goal is clear," he said. "To minimize the cost for the EU citizens, businesses and member states."

The move comes after the British public voted 52% to 48% last June, following a bruising referendum campaign, to leave the 28-member bloc after more than four decades.

During a statement to lawmakers in the House of Commons minutes after the letter was delivered, May said this was a "historic moment from which there can be no turning back."

She struck a conciliatory tone and pledged to “get the right deal for every single person in this country." She also implored all sections of society, regardless of how they voted, to use this moment to unite.

"We can, together, make a success of this moment and we can, together, build a stronger, fairer, better Britain — a Britain that our children and grandchildren are proud to call home," she said...

In the Mail: Laura Kipnis, Unwanted Advances

This came today.

And available at Amazon, Unwanted Advances: Sexual Paranoia Comes to Campus.

The book builds off the backlash to her 2015 essay, at the Chronicle of Higher Education, "Sexual Paranoia Strikes Academe."

See also the Chicago Tribune, "NU professor starts academic debate with controversial essay on sex."

And at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), "In Her Own Words: Laura Kipnis’ ‘Title IX Inquisition’ at Northwestern (VIDEO)."

I love this. I'll try to power this book down and post my own thoughts next week.

Adult Stars on the Beach

At WWTDD, "Porn Stars Back on the Beach (PHOTOS)":
Porn stars like Naomi Woods and Kate England are never exactly fit like regular models. There's some element of shying away from the crowded clubs. Also, tremendous self-loathing. You only wished dad wished you were a boy. These ladies are trying their damnedest to fit in. Maybe cut back on the ass in air poses. You're going to ruin romantic vacations for tons of men whose wives started staring at them funny...

Chuck Berry's New Single, 'Big Boys' (AUDIO)

Chuck Berry's got a brand-new posthumous album coming out in June, available for pre-order at Amazon, "Chuck."

Read all about it at the Sound L.A., "LISTEN: Chuck Berry Album Set for June Release; Hear Lead Single."

And listen to "Big Boys":

Did the song give you déjà vu? It should: It starts out with the classic “Johnny B. Goode” guitar riff, bringing this latest release full circle.

Chuck is Chuck Berry’s first album in 38 years, so it comes highly anticipated, to say the least. It was initially announced last October, so fans only have a few more months to go before hearing some of Berry’s final works—which is sure to be a celebration of the late rocker’s life.

And his family agrees, sharing, “While our hearts are very heavy at this time, we know that Chuck had no greater wish than to see this album released to the world, and we know of no better way to celebrate and remember his 90 years of life than through his music.”
