‘RIP, 1st Amendment’: New York City Mayor intervenes to cancel Milo Yiannopoulos university talk
Wading into the murky world of campus politics, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has canceled a talk by conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos at New York University. Yiannopoulos responded by savaging the Democrat mayor.
Yiannopoulos was due to speak to a Liberal Studies class on the intersection of Halloween, culture, and politics, but NYU staff canceled the appearance after a request from the mayor himself, for “public safety reasons.”
Earlier on Tuesday, New York City Council members had urged the university to cancel the talk, denouncing the “hate”expressed by Yiannopoulos and the event’s proximity to Saturday’s shooting dead of 11 worshippers in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. The council also pointed out that nearby Halloween parades would have the city’s police force stretched thin.
Milo was characteristically venomous in his response.
“The entire city of New York is terrified of one gay man stepping out of line and calling out the Left as the intolerant, censorious crybabies they are,” he wrote on Instagram. “And they just proved it—by censoring me again.”
“RIP, First Amendment. They’re not even pretending any more,” he concluded.
The professor who invited Yiannopoulos to speak, Michael Rectenwald, also disagreed with the mayor’s decision.

“While Milo Yiannopoulos is blamed for the threat to public safety, leftist protesters are the ones who pose the actual danger, with their proclivity for violence,” Rectenwald told Washington Square News, a student newspaper.
“I was merely trying to arrange a cultural exchange between my class and a harmless person from the center-right.”
Rectenwald was slammed by social justice types for inviting Yiannopoulos to speak in the first place, but is no stranger to controversy himself, having been placed on a leave of absence in 2016 for speaking out against political correctness and ‘safe space’ culture on campus.
Yiannopoulos’ speaking engagements have drawn crowds of angry protesters before, and NYU canceled a talk by the conservative firebrand in 2016, also citing security concerns.
Starting as a tech reporter for right-wing news site Breitbart, Milo rose to prominence after covering the ‘gamergate’ controversy – which centered on feminism and ‘social justice’ in the video games industry – in 2014. Yiannopoulos drew laughs from conservatives and anger from liberals with headlines like “Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy,” “would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?” and “Muslims will bring lamb chops, yoghurt and gang-rape to America.”
After his controversial ‘Dangerous Faggot’ speaking tour of US college campuses and an appearance at the Republican National Convention in 2016, Milo’s stock fell early last year when he resigned from Breitbart and had a lucrative book deal canceled after a recording emerged of him defending pederasty and questioning age of consent laws.
Ostracized by many on the right, Milo still produces videos and gives speeches, albeit to smaller crowds.

CNN’s Don Lemon wants to ‘do something’ about white men, ‘the biggest terror threat’
Demonstrating a complete failure to grasp the concept of irony, CNN’s Don Lemon urged Americans not to “demonize” each other, and in the same breath called white men “the biggest terror threat in this country.”
Speaking with co-host Chris Cuomo on Monday night, Lemon discussed a fatal shooting of two black people in a grocery store in Kentucky, a raft of pipe bombs mailed to Democratic figures, and Saturday’s shooting dead of 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue. The Kentucky and Pittsburgh shooters were white males, while Cesar Sayoc, the mailbomb suspect arrested in Florida last Friday, has identified in the past as Native American.
Lemon’s initial message was one of tolerance and openness. “I keep trying to point out to people and not to demonize any one group or any one ethnicity,” he told viewers.
Then, as if completely forgetting the last sentence, Lemon switched to what sounded a lot like open racism.
“So, we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. And we have to start doing something about them,” he said. “There is no travel ban on them. There is no ban on… they had the Muslim ban. There is no white guy ban. So, what do we do about that?”
Predictably, Lemon’s ‘blame whitey’ monologue rankled conservatives on Twitter.
Among the reactions, there were some calls for CNN to fire Lemon. Last week, NBC canceled Megyn Kelly’s Today Show after the host defended blackface as an acceptable Halloween costume, but CNN has given no indication that it will follow suit.
Lemon is no stranger to stirring racial controversy, and seems to be an equal-opportunities hater, as long as conservatives are the target. After Kanye West visited the White House earlier this month, Lemon laughed along with two guests who called the rap star a “token negro” and quipped “Kanye West is what happens when negroes don’t read.”
The CNN host is apparently content to leave his racially-charged comments at work, however. Lemon has been dating a white man, advertising sales executive Tim Malone, since 2017.

Top Far Left Activist and Liberal Darling Linda Sarsour: Muslims Shouldn’t “Humanize” Israelis
By Jim Hoft
Women’s March leader and Democrat mouthpiece Linda Sarsour told the Islamic Society of North America at their September conference that American Muslims should not “humanize” Israelis.
It’s comments like this that put Jews in danger.
The Democrat Party must disavow this anti-Semitic hate speech.
The Jewish Journal reported:
Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour said over the weekend that Muslims shouldn’t be humanizing Israelis, referring to Israel as the “oppressor.”
As reported by The Investigative Project for Terrorism and the Algemeiner, during the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)’s conference, Sarsour declared that American Muslims “are complicit in the occupation of Palestinians, in the murder of Palestinian protesters” if they’re not actively promoting the Palestinian cause.
“If you’re on the side of the oppressor, or you’re defending the oppressor, or you’re actually trying to humanize the oppressor, then that’s a problem,” Sarsour said.
“FOOLISH FORM OF TOLERANCE”: BELGIAN ‘CHRISTMAS MARKET’ CHANGES NAME TO ‘WINTER MARKET’
Some claim change was made so as not to offend Muslims
OCTOBER 30, 2018
Organizers of a Christmas market in the Belgian city of Bruges have changed its name to ‘Winter Market’, with some claiming the switch was made so as not to offend Muslims.
According to a report by HLN, instead of Christmas-themed lighting, the market will be lit up with “winter lighting”.
Senator Pol Van Den Driessche of the country’s opposition party called the change “unbelievable and incomprehensible.”
“From now on we can no longer speak of the ‘Christmas market’ in Bruges, but of the ‘winter market’,” he added. “This is not only a ridiculous decision, it also goes against our individuality. Bruges has a very beautiful and old tradition in terms of Christmas. Whether you are religious or not, it is part of our culture. I do not want to give in to this foolish form of ‘tolerance’.”
Some respondents to the article asserted that the change was made to avoid offending Muslims.
“Do we still live in Belgium?” asked one. “Our norms and values are eroding, our culture is disappearing and our feasts need other names. And we must respect their Ramadan and Sugar Feast.”
However, organizer Pieter Vanderyse said the change was made merely to make the market appear more “neutral,” adding that other Belgian cities had changed their ‘Christmas Markets’ to ‘Winter Markets’.
This is not the first time that the Christian foundation of Christmas has been hidden in order to avoid offending Muslims.
In December 2016, the Austrian embassy changed the name of its “Christmas delicacies” to “Winter delicacies” out of consideration for the feelings of Muslims.
Earlier this month, a school in Chesterfield County, Virginia banned Christmas carols containing word “Jesus” in fear they may be offensive to ‘diverse students’.
Last year in Germany, a school was forced to re-locate its annual Christmas party after a single complaint from a Muslim student.
A Christmas tree in the Italian city of Bolzano was also removed from the town hall after fears that it could “hurt the feelings” of or “offend” Muslims.
Last year, a Christmas movie set to be screened in the French city of Langon, where Muslims are allowed to pray on the streets, was banned, because it was “too Christian”.
Trump Plans to End Birthright Citizenship for Non-Citizens, Illegal Aliens — Save America $2.4B a Year!
By Chris Menahan
President Trump is going to Make Our Immigration Laws Sane Again one executive order at a time!
From Axios:
President Trump plans to sign an executive order that would remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born on U.S. soil, he said yesterday in an exclusive interview for “Axios on HBO,” a new four-part documentary news series debuting on HBO this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT.
[…]Trump told “Axios on HBO” that he has run the idea of ending birthright citizenship by his counsel and plans to proceed with the highly controversial move, which certainly will face legal challenges.
“It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” Trump said, declaring he can do it by executive order.
When told that’s very much in dispute, Trump replied: “You can definitely do it with an Act of Congress. But now they’re saying I can do it just with an executive order.”
“We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States … with all of those benefits,” Trump continued. “It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. And it has to end.”
I’m just as giddy as this reporter!
It’s complete insanity and it’s a perfect issue to have the midterms be a referendum on!
Democrats think it’s just fine for an illegal alien to illegal cross the border and go to a US hospital to give birth (paid for by US taxpayers at a cost of anywhere from $32,093 for a vaginal birth to $51,125 for a C-section) then give the anchor baby full citizenship rights and get them straight on the taxpayer dole.
Republicans — under Trump — think it’s insane to spend billions of taxpayer dollars raising these anchor babies over the course of their lives (taxpayer funded births, food, clothing, housing, schooling etc.).
As NumbersUSA reported last month, birthright citizenship for illegal aliens costs US taxpayers $2.4 billion a year:
Children born to illegal-alien parents cost U.S. taxpayers $2.4 billion each year according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies. The report concludes that of all births in the U.S. likely paid for by taxpayers, $5.3 billion is spent each year on children born to illegal alien or immigrant parents.
Analyzing government data, CIS says that roughly 1 in every 5 child born in the United States has a foreign-born mother, accounting for 791,000 births each year. Of those, an estimated 290,000 children are born to illegal-alien parents each year. CIS estimates that 67% of illegal-alien parents are either uninsured or have access to Medicaid.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, there are 4.5 million childrenunder the age of 18 living in the United States who were born to illegal-alien parents. Once these children become adults, they can sponsor their illegal-alien parents for green cards through the immediate family green card category.
Force everyone to vote on it and make it clear where they stand!
We’re not doing anything like Old Linsdey’s “Gang of Eight” immigration reform (cursed be his name), but if New Lindsey (blessed be his name) puts out a clean bill to repeal birthright citizenship that’d be just wonderful!
Retiring House Speaker Paul Ryan — who has absolutely no say in this matter — rushed to the media to denounce Trump in defense of his globalist donors:
No one care what you think, bud. Go tell it to the Koch brothers.
This is Trump’s Republican Party now!

The left spent the weekend comparing Trump to Hitler – again – while conveniently ignoring their own raging anti-Semites. AGAIN.
