Families Sue Universal Studios Over Character Who Flashed “Okay” in Photos

Two families are suing Universal Studios in Orlando after a character at the theme parked flashed an alleged white power sign in photos with their daughters.

The “white power” signal in question is the “OK ” hand gesture— making a circle with the thumb and index finger.

Although this has long been understood to mean OK for roughly TWO CENTURIES (because the gesture approximates the letters ‘O’ and ‘K’), the lawsuit claims that it is “a universally-known and universally-used hate symbol that indicates white power.”

One family, which wants $30,000 for “mental anguish” and “loss of dignity”, told their daughter that she couldn’t show her friends the photo because “a man did a bad thing to her because he did not like her because of her race and color.”

Even more ridiculous, the employee who flashed the OK sign was FIRED for doing so.

Canada plans to punish hate speech pre-crime

If passed, a bill in the Canadian legislature will punish online or in-person “hate speech” with a fine up to C$20,000 (about $16,000 USD) if it targets a specific person.

The law states that “hate speech means the content of a communication that expresses detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.”

Nice and vague, just the way they like it.

China says Wuhan Lab Scientists Deserve Nobel Prize

China’s government-run media outlets are reporting that, instead of being blamed for leaking the coronavirus, the Wuhan Virology lab scientists should be awarded the Nobel Prize for being the first to sequence the virus.

Naturally it’s only a matter of time before the World Health Organization throws its weight behind this recommendation…

Or for the Big Tech companies to censor anyone who says this is a completely absurd idea…

An actual medical journal says whiteness is “a malignant, parasitic-like condition”

“Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has—a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which ‘white’ people have a particular susceptibility.”

Sadly, this is not an Onion or Babylon Bee satirical news story— but it’s becoming harder to tell the difference.

The Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, is a real academic journal which published a research article called On Having Whiteness.

The author is Donald Moss, Dean of the College of Integrative Medicine and Health Sciences, at Saybrook University.

He wrote:

Google’s [former] diversity chief has some harsh words for Jews

Kamau Bobb was Google’s global lead for diversity strategy and research until yesterday. He came under fire for an essay he wrote in 2007 called, “If I Were A Jew.”

In it, he criticized Israel’s military and defense programs saying, “If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself.”

Bobb apologized and said the post was “intended as a critique of particular military action.”

Actor John Cena apologizes for calling Taiwan a country

While promoting the film Fast and Furious 9 to a Taiwanese reporter, pro-wrestler turned actor John Cena said “Taiwan is the first country that can watch the ‘F9’ film.”

Chinese fans (and probably Chinese government online trolling bots) immediately attacked the actor for referring to Taiwan as a country— China insists that Taiwan is part of the People’s Republic of China.

Cena quickly issued a pathetic, groveling video apology, speaking in Mandarin.

He said, “In one interview, I made a mistake. I need to say now that this is very, very, very, very, very important. I love and respect China and the Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry. As for my mistake, I really apologize for it.”

Yes, he really added that many very’s.

You’ve almost certainly heard the news that the CDC in the Land of the Free has now decided that fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear a mask anymore.

The President of the United States subsequently sent out a demeaning ultimatum via Twitter—

The rule is now simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do. The choice is yours.

Really? So freedom in the United States today is a choice between an unconstitutional mask mandate, and vaccine that has only been approved under emergency authority by the FDA.

What a joke.

It’s even more extraordinary what this false choice really demonstrates.

YouTube censors panel of medical experts over Covid-19 “misinformation”

The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis recently held a panel discussion to discuss recent research findings related to Covid-19.

The expert panel included four professors of medicine from Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford Universities, who are all PhDs and experts in a field of disease research. And that just scratches the surface of their credentials relevant to being considered Covid-19 experts.

The panel spoke against forcing children and vaccinated people to wear masks, and said there was no proof that lockdowns reduced the spread or death rates of Covid-19. They cited specific, peer reviewed scholarly research on which they based their opinions.

“Dear God, Please help me to hate White people. Or at least to want to hate them… I want to stop caring about their misguided, racist souls, to stop believing that they can be better, that they can stop being racist.”

White People Shouldn’t Translate Black Poetry

She is publishing a book of poetry, which will be translated into Dutch.

Gorman chose a female Dutch author to translate her work, but a Dutch activist journalist had other plans.

California Public Health Department: “Stay Away from your Loved Ones”

“Love means staying away,” according to the California Department of Public Health.

The agency is using taxpayer funds to run ads with the tagline “Mom’s advice: Send flowers. Write a card. Stay away and protect your loved ones this Valentine’s Day.”

They even coined a new hashtag: #LoveMeansStayingAway.

And the ad campaign wouldn’t be complete without pictures of mom’s sharing photos of themselves with the hashtag written on their masks.

Abandoning your loved ones is heroic.

Shame. Guilt. Obey.

China Pushes New Trend: Anal Swab COVID Tests

In the earliest days of the pandemic, China locked down the citizens of Wuhan, going so far as to weld some people in their homes in an attempt to control the spread of COVID.

Little did we know at the time that China’s aggressive authoritarian policies would become the norm across the world.

Now China has taken the depths of their penetration to a whole new level… because now the regime has started to use anal swabs, inserted about two inches into the anus, to test for COVID.
