Excellent Reading
TakiMag‘s weekly summary of the news is generally so-so, but the latest is superb. Here’s an example:
Last week, French authorities were left scratching their heads following the crowning of a new Miss France. It seems that the first runner-up, April Benayoum, is Jewish. And for some odd reason, when Benayoum, who holds the title of Miss Provence, mentioned during the telecast that her father is Israeli, French Twitter exploded with “hate tweets” directed at the 21-year-old beauty. A few choice examples (translated into English):
“Uncle Hitler, you forgot to exterminate Miss Provence.”
“She should not be Miss Provence; SHE’S A JEW!”
“Hitler forgot one.”
“Into the ovens with her!”
“Death to Miss Provence! Death to Israel!”This story has been widely covered by the French media, with everyone from the interior minister to the pageant winner speaking out to condemn the hateful tweets. Oddly missing from every news report is a tiny little detail regarding the offending Twitter accounts. Indeed, whereas some French politicians have tried to blame the anti-Jewish onslaught on the “far right,” one canny Twitterer made the following observation after reviewing the profiles of the “haters”:

Quote Of The Day
From the Z-man at TakiMag:
Most Americans think there was wholesale fraud in the election. Almost all of Trump’s voters think the election was stolen. How can The Pretender rule when close to half the people think he is illegitimate? If he gets the Epstein treatment and Willy Brown’s concubine is installed, how can the political class keep pretending that America is a democracy?
Good question.

Slight Edit Required
Seen at Glenn’s place:
With the greatest of respect, I feel that I must edit his comment just a bit:
Remember: if some study or model from today’s academia actually disproves or casts doubt upon The Narrative, you’ll never see it, ever. All others, therefore, should be ignored.
You’d think we would have learned our lesson with the infamous Mann “Hockey Stick” graph that proved we were all going to diiiieeeeee as early as 2010 from global warming…
