Conservative Student Leaving Syracuse University Due to Harassment and Threats

Posted by Mike LaChance on July 21, 2020 43 Comments

Adrianna San Marco is a conservative student journalist who has been attending Syracuse University. Back in June, she was fired by the school's student newspaper for writing a piece that suggested institutional racism is a myth. Since then, she has been targeted with threats of violence, even death threats, from fellow students. Her pleas to campus administrators have gone largely ignored, so she has decided not to return in the fall.

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on July 21, 2020 68 Comments

Portland, Oregon, has the dubious distinction of being U.S. antifa's homebase and "ground zero" for violent "protests" that include vandalism, arson, assault, and other assorted crimes.

Early Coronavirus Vaccine Test Data Yielding ‘Encouraging’ Results

Posted by Leslie Eastman on July 21, 2020 27 Comments

As the American press gins up more pandemic panic in its quest to impact the November election, perhaps it is an excellent time to step back and review some stories that haven't received attention because they stray from the fear-based narrative.

Here at LI, we have long covered the Marxist takeover of college education and its devolution into the crazed, self-righteous cancel culture cult that has taken over the leftstream media, Hollywood, and major corporations. Campus culture has become American culture in many disturbing and alarming ways, and as Andrew Breitbart famously noted "politics is downstream from culture."

Yesterday I posted about the proposed elimination of "blind auditions" for symphony orchestras, so that race and gender could be used as selection criteria to help diversify orchestra musicians. It would be the elimination of what previously was a meritocracy:

White House coronavirus member Dr. Anthony Fauci will throw out the first pitch at the New York Yankees/Washington Nationals game on Thursday. The MLB season has a late start, much to my disappointment, due to the coronavirus.

Associated Press Will Capitalize Black, But Not White Since They Haven’t Faced Discrimination Due to Skin Color

Posted by Mary Chastain on July 20, 2020 52 Comments

The Associated Press decided last month to capitalize the word "Black" when writing about race and culture. On Monday, the AP chose not to capitalize the word "white" because "white people in general have much less shared history and culture, and don’t have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color."

Chuck Todd Runs Deceptively Edited Kayleigh McEnany Clip Even After It Was Proven to Be Misleading

Posted by Stacey Matthews on July 20, 2020 36 Comments

Last week, several mainstream media journalists ran with an out-of-context quote from White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. At first glance, it made it look like she was saying President Trump was willing to ignore science to get kids to return to public school classrooms in the fall. To quickly recap, here's an example courtesy of CNN's Jim Acosta of what many reporters posted to their Twitter feeds shortly after the Thursday press briefing:

I blogged about Nick Cannon's apology for his anti-Semitic comments. I noted that quite a few black people lashed out at him for the apology. Cannon also noticed the backlash. I guess he now realizes you cannot please everyone.

NY Times Chief Classical Music Critic: End “blind auditions,” pick orchestra musicians based on race and gender

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 19, 2020 119 Comments

I learned something new today. For decades leading symphony orchestras have used "blind auditions" to hire musicians. That is, the musicians are not seen at all, only their music is heard. That way, implicit or explicit racial, ethnic, or gender bias cannot enter into the hiring decision, only the quality of the music. It is as close to a pure meritocracy as I can imagine.

Petition Demands Trader Joe’s Change “Racist” Packaging

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on July 19, 2020 45 Comments

Trader Joe's is one of those quirky, fun kind of stores that has seen enormous success in part because of its lighthearted quirkiness. Light-heartedness, really anything remotely resembling humor, is in the process of being rooted out and banned by the cancel culture scolds, so of course, they came for Trader Joe's.
