New in PJ Media:
How much does the Biden regime hate the freedom of speech that the First Amendment guarantees to Americans? Last year, it tried to establish a Disinformation Governance Board to restrict speech that opposed its agenda, but had to back down after a public outcry. Then there was Biden’s handlers’ collusion with the Big Tech giants to silence dissenters from the regime’s COVID narrative. And now comes Maria Araujo Kahn, the regime’s nominee for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, a “diversity trainer” who has called for the criminalization of speech she dislikes. Is there no one at all connected with this appalling administration who actually believes in freedom?
The Washington Free Beacon reported Friday that Kahn, who is currently an associate justice of the Connecticut State Supreme Court, “has argued for curtailing the First Amendment and conducted training sessions that say ‘microaggressions’ can ‘kill you.’” As is so much of today’s fetid cultural swamp, “microaggressions” are an invention of the Left; apparently the idea is that giving someone an unkind glance when asked one’s pronouns, or fleetingly appearing irritated and bored during a windy and fact-free lecture about systemic racism, is a heinous crime that calls for anti-free speech legislation.
As absurd as this is, Kahn appears to be deadly serious about it, as Leftists always are. “Since 2013,” the Free Beacon notes, she has given “at least a dozen diversity trainings and presentations to lawyers across the country.” According to her Senate Judiciary Questionnaire, she has been busy offering the kind of presentations that would make one prefer to have one’s teeth pulled out with rusty pliers and no anesthesia. A popular one is evidently “Turn Off Auto-Pilot: Cultural Competence, Implicit Association and Racial Anxiety,” which she has inflicted on hapless audiences more than once. She must really pack ‘em in for that one.
The Free Beacon adds that “to prepare for one of those trainings, offered to graduates of Fordham Law School, participants were instructed to watch an animated video, ‘How Microaggressions Are Like Mosquito Bites,’ that depicts a man-sized mosquito telling a dark-hued college student to ‘try a less challenging major’ and then sucking him dry.” That Whitey! Where is a flyswatter when you need one? In this video, a voice intones: “Some mosquitoes carry truly threatening diseases that can mess up your life for years. And other mosquitos carry strains that can even kill you.” Yes, Whitey will stop at nothing: “The video then cuts to a mosquito holding a gun next to a dead body. ‘I felt threatened,’ the insect tells officers at the scene of the crime. ‘It looked like he was up to trouble, ok?’” Yeah, happens every day. But there is payback in Maria Araujo Kahn’s world: “Another clip depicts a black woman murdering several mosquitos with a flamethrower after they ask to touch her hair.” Ah, proportional justice at last!
There is more. Read the rest here.

George Washington had, very wisely, declared, “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led like sheep to the slaughter.”

It just keeps on getting worse and worse. What day, what time, what hour and minute will it all hit the rock bottom? These people who want to silence Truth in any way they can, are doing the devil’s desires.
I pray for God to “do His will on earth,” for then, there will be Freedom. Jesus said, “The Truth will set you free.”

Every time I think that Western civilization has hit rock bottom, I learn that it has much further to go.

Watched the cartoon, there’s almost 2 minutes of my life I’ll never get back..
The only mosquito involved in that was the one sucking money out of a society too afraid to say anything in case they are labelled with whatever the current catch cry of the left is.
Keys says
These appointees have the bo (stench) of BO all over them.
This appointee fits the pattern of Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Kamala Harris, Ketanji Brown, …
Biden didn’t and doesn’t decide who he choses. He does what he’s told and mostly says, or reads, what he’s told.

True. as the Black raggedly ann wannabe spokesperson said recently, “president obama,” and then laughed. It is no laughing matter.

somehistory,
She would not have mentioned Obama’s name unless he was pulling the strings…
Kepha says
I just hope the Senate Republicans have the 外卵 to filibuster this nomination and expose this horror for what she is. Bork and Kavanaugh her into oblivion.

I’m willing to bet that not one Biden appointee supports the freedom of expression, or the First Amendment
