My latest in PJ Media:
The left’s effort to demonize and criminalize all opposition to its sinister agenda is advancing rapidly, and so the news out of Kentucky’s Berea College on Friday, as outrageous as it was, came as no surprise. Fox News reported that Berea “is scheduled to host an event critical of Donald Trump and associating the former president and ‘white citizenship’ with terrorism.” But would Berea or other colleges and universities like it ever dream of holding an event about actual terrorists, specifically Islamic jihadis? Not on your life!
“A flyer obtained by Young America’s Foundation (YAF),” Fox continued, “describes the event as a way to ‘resituate Trumpism and white citizenship as forms of white terrorism enacted against the majority of people living within the borders of the U.S. and beyond.’”
The event is set for this coming Wednesday. In these days of stifling Covid orthodoxy, it will, of course, take place not in person, but over Zoom. The flyer announcing the event reads like a parody of today’s campus intellectual fads and shibboleths: “The Women’s and Gender Non-Conforming Center [I bet you wish you had one of those on your campus] presents GENDER TALK…White Citizenship as Terrorism: Make America Great Again, Again.” The event is “co-sponsored by Law, Ethics, and Society,” an organization that likely has little to with actual law, ethics, or anything that would strengthen a society.
The flyer, according to Fox, “features images of protesters carrying tiki torches at the racially charged Charlottesville, Virginia, protests at the beginning of Trump’s presidency.” It states:
Despite calls for multiculturalism and color-blindness, segments of white America mourn their so-called loss of privilege, consistently begging to return to the nostalgic past in which their esteemed value as white citizens went unquestioned. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” appears to follow suit by offering a seemingly benign promise to return America to a previously “great” past. But the offer to “Make America Great Again, Again,” requires we refocus on how the last four years of daily tweets and administrative actions redefine whiteness. If terrorism is defined as the use of violence and threats to create a state of fear towards particular communities and identities, then this is what “Trumpism” is at its core.
As ridiculous and groundless as all that is, as rooted in leftist fantasy about Trump’s presidency being somehow “white supremacist,” Berea College officials were not embarrassed, as they should have been, when asked about this event. On the contrary, they defended it, as any fascist smear merchant would, issuing a statement that said: “To some, the provocative title of the event implies that Berea is not a welcoming place for individuals with differing political views.” More than “implies,” you fascists.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The brains, or what passes for brains, of the leftists must be scary places.
Everyone who doesn’t agree with them is a “terrorist”, everyone who is just trying to get on with their lives is a threat to them.
The shear self destructive mindset of these twits is beyond belief.
In the past, before rational thought processes were not openly discouraged in universities, this sort of behavior would have resulted in a holiday in a nice padded cell with a long sleeved jacket.
Now of course, you need to present yourself as a nut job to get passing credits.
From what I can understand, this downward spiral of the education system is the product of a foreign government, with the final outcome being the downfall of western societies.
Maybe I’m being a bit paranoid? But then again, paranoia is described as “total awareness of your surroundings”.

Sometimes you laugh because it’s funny, sometimes you laugh because it’s true…

Agree. You have to be nuttier than the Marx Brothers to get a degree.
When fantasy and hyperbole become the RECEIVED TRUTH … the lunatics have taken charge of the asylum.
Linda says
More madness from the radical left, who imo have completely lost their minds.

william carr says
They seem oblivious to the fact that support for Trump is about 71 million, hardly a minority, That support for DT in the black and Hispanic community is significant. That Biden was elected in a seriously compromised election process
John Torkildsen says
It gets better.

Kentucky’s Berea College Hosts Event Calling ‘Trumpism’ a Form of Terrorism
……………..
They are claiming that if you are a white citizen that you are a terrorist. Utter madness.
Linda says
It really is ‘utter madness’ and white citizens need to pay attention to the dem party/radical leftists, who without a doubt have a real hatred for anyone white.

4th attempt on this article. The second succeeded with one word. I wonder if this will.

Ouch!

Wellington,
Recommend saving your work in a Word document before you post to Jihad Watch.
I’ve had problems posting in the past, none lately…

For any long post – like my post right now on the ideo – I’ve started the practice of composing in a separate text box (like WordPad) and then copy-pasting it after I’m done. Saves me the trouble in the event it doesn’t go thru
While it may be site issues, I suspect Windows!
Infidel says
video, not ideo! Stupid OS!

TRUMP 2024
very old white guy says
There is a college that needs to be defunded and shut down.

“Trumpism’ a Form of Terrorism”. REALLY?!!!!
It seems that our universities are lacking the ability to educate our young folks the TRUTH.
As I keep writing and saying, the American mafia aka the ‘Democrat Party’ is WAY more dangerous than the Italian mafia. Think about it. The mighty USA military and other American security bodies are now under their control. That is mighty scary.
In my opinion, the only way to avoid any major mishap initiated by the crazy people in power NOW is a cop.
I’ve never thought that I would say that.
