Interesting pitch from National Review:
Kat Timpf . . . nails it.

It seems as though every day something new is being declared “problematic.”

For example: long, adorned nails. That’s right — in January, they were declared “cultural appropriation.” That same month, an academic article by an Australian professor claimed that small chairs in pre-schools are “problematic” because they’re “disempowering” for teachers, and also kind of sexist. In March, “God Bless you” was deemed an anti-Muslim micro-aggression. In February, a writing guide at Purdue University advised against using words with “man” in them.

In terms of campus insanity, Purdue is far from the only offender. In fact, it seems as though things on our college campuses have gotten completely out of hand. In the fall, Kings College in London actually employed “safe space marshals” to police speeches for offensive content. In December, a group of student protesters at Western Washington University declared that defending the First Amendment was “violent.” Earlier this year, the University of Connecticut offered counseling to students who might be upset at “even the thought of” a Ben Shapiro speech. Earlier this month, Penn State forbade its Outing Club from going outside on the grounds that it was just too dangerous.

This is sad stuff — and there’s far too much of it for me to list here — but the truth is, the only way that people can fight it is by first knowing what’s going on. That’s why I try to use my National Review column to keep people updated on the latest political-correctness insanity and college-campus craziness. If people who disagree with the latest cultural trends want to see them change, then they have to start by being informed about what’s happening.

If you want people to continue to be able to stay informed about these issues, consider donating to National Review’s Spring Webathon. That way, I can keep writing about cultural craziness — and you can keep your nails as long and bedazzled as you want.

Many thanks,
Katherine Timpf

White women forced to close burrito shop after hounded by cultural appropriation charges... Oregon Leftists Circulate List of Restaurants Engaging in 'Cultural Appropriation'







Reason.com reports that some have put together a spreadsheet of Portland, Oregon, restaurants that allegedly engage in "cultural appropriation":
The list, a Google Docs spreadsheet, includes about 60 Portland-area restaurants, the names of their white owners, and the kind of cuisine they serve. (For example, the list informs us that Burmasphere "was founded by a white man who ate Burmese food in San Francisco.") The spreadsheet also lists competing restaurants that are owned by people of color and urges customers to try them instead.
"This is NOT about cooking at home or historical influences on cuisines; it's about profit, ownership, and wealth in a white supremacist culture," wrote the spreadsheet's authors. "These white-owned businesses hamper the ability for POC [people of color] to run successful businesses of their own (cooking their own cuisines) by either consuming market share with their attempt at authenticity or by modifying foods to market to white palates. Their success further perpetuates the problems stated above. It's a cyclical pattern that will require intentional behavior change to break."

The spreadsheet seems to be a response to the controversy over Kooks Burritos, a Portland-area pop-up food truck run by two white women. In an interview with Williamette Week, Kooks owners Kali Wilgus and Liz Connelly explained how they fell in love with authentic Mexican tortillas during a visit to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico.

The news that got Trump elected wasn't made-up stories pushed by Twitter trolls, it was the stories Americans knew were true that the mainstream media and DC Establishment declared fake and refused to report.



There are dozens of examples, the most obvious being Islam and terrorism.

In the days after a self-declared jihadi slaughtered 49 people in a self-described mission for ISIS at the Pulse night club ("I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may Allah protect him, on behalf of the Islamic State"), I could hear my talk-radio callers turning into Trump supporters before my eyes … er "ears."

As the media twisted themselves into knots to present an utterly-false story line about a self-hating gay man, Donald Trump was attacked for tweeting out almost immediately that it was a "radical Islamic terror." Being Trump, he did so in a self-congratulatory way that was off-putting to many, but he was also attacked for stating the obvious about the deadliest Islamist attack on US soil since 9/11.

But as obnoxious as Trump's tweet may seem, compare it to Hillary Clinton's in the wake of the Paris attack months earlier: "Muslims … have nothing to do whatsoever with terrorism."

Many Americans thought to themselves "Trump may be a kook … but he's never said anything that stupid!"

Trump shoves back against Clinton's claim that his tough talk is an ISIS 'recruiting tool' as he says she wants to 'censor our vocabulary so as not to upset these butchers'



'You know somebody gave her that from Madison Avenue. You know about it – that's advertising. They gave her that, they said, "Let's call it a recruiting tool!'
'Why? Because I'm tough it's a recruiting tool?' Trump asked. 'It demonstrates a level of ignorance about the terror threat that really is disqualifying for a person seeking the presidency.'
