Minaj COVID Wrongthink Takes Another Turn; Singer Hits Back After Tucker Carlson Defense


Unlikely champion of free speech says she has been locked out of Twitter

The saga with Nicki Minaj being attacked over expressing COVID vaccination ‘wrong think’ has taken another turn after the singer claimed she has been locked out of Twitter after sharing a video of Tucker Carlson defending her, causing leftists and trendies to melt down.

As we reported yesterday, Minaj caused controversy over a tweet she posted regarding COVID-19 vaccine side-effects. The mainstream media immediately began to lie and misreport what she had said, offering a rare glimpse for normies into how the press twists the truth to fit a political narrative.

When MSNBC’s Joy Reid lectured Minaj over the incident, essentially saying ‘you should know better, blah blah blah,’ Minaj hit back, pointing out that Reid hypocritically previously told people not to get vaccinated last year purely because Donald Trump was President.
As Wednesday night rolled around, Minaj tweeted a video of Tucker Carlson defending her with a ‘target’ emoji:
Minaj then immediately was bombarded with ‘he’s a racist’ idiocy, to which she responded entertainingly and intelligently:

Minaj later claimed to followers on Instagram that she has now been suspended on Twitter, writing “I’m in Twitter jail y’all. They didn’t like what I was saying over there on that...

Detroit News Station’s Appeal For Stories About Unvaccinated Loved Ones Dying of COVID Gets an Unexpected Response


A Detroit News station’s Facebook query about COVID-19 got an unexpected response when users swamped their comment section with stories that directly contradicted their desired narrative.

“After the vaccines were available to everyone, did you lose an unvaccinated loved one to COVID-19?” WXYZ-TV inquired in the Sept. 10 post. “If you’re willing to share your family’s story, please DM us your contact information. We may reach out for a story we’re working on.”

After WXYZ-TV posted its appeal for stories about unvaccinated loved ones dying of COVID, something remarkable happened.

Thousands of Facebook users shared stories describing alarming vaccine side effects, or posted about fully vaxed loved ones dying of the coronavirus. The viral post appears to have become a popular forum for victims of the vaccines to share their stories.

“My daughter 33 years old died 10 days after getting the shot,” wrote one distraught mother. “She had a enlarged heart and she had a terminal lung disease pulmonary hypertension!”

“My mother passed away 3 weeks ago from covid… she was fully vaxxed back in January,” another woman wrote.

Below is a small sampling from the thousands of Facebook comments that describe severe events that happened after vaccination.

– “My son’s classmate lost her mother from heart complications due to the vaccine.”

– “my grandmother in law passed from J&J. Blood clot to her heart in less than 24 hours after getting it.”

– “My sister (VERY liberal and pro-vax!) is disabled now after her Moderna vaccine, and symptoms are worsening by the day. She may not survive.”😞

– “yes like my neighbor Larry Ray. His life has been altered terribly and now he wishes he never took the vaccine.”

– “I’m one of those. I’m 44 and went into cardiac arrest and died 2 times less than 2 weeks after getting the shot….ironic???? Coincendal? Hmmmm.”

– “I know someone who had a heart attack after the first dose, & isn’t getting the second. I also know someone who died from the vaccine… let’s tell THOSE stories!”

– “A friend of a parent went into cardiac arrest almost immediately after receiving second dose. They were unable to revive her.”

– “I also know of someone who lost a limb due to a blood clot/circulation issue after being fully vaccinated.”

– “I know someone who was FULLY Vaccinated and always wore their mask; they were recently in ICU and passed away.”

– “My uncle suffered a stroke due to blood clots and complications days after his second chot. Would you please do a story about all these reactions?

– I know of three people who have been hospitalized since April-ish. All 3 were fully vaccinated.

– My parent’s neighbor woke up the next morning after the shot suddenly completely deaf. His doctor told him it’s from the vaccine and if his hearing didn’t return within a few weeks he will be permanently deaf. He is now permanently deaf.

– Our rabbi’s mentor (a very prestigious rabbi) was recovering from covid in a rehab facility. He was doing well, walking and about to be discharged home. The facility forced him to take the vaccine because it became their policy, even though he refused. He immediately developed paralysis in one arm. They then forced the second shot on him, he refused again, but the facility insisted. After the 2nd shot he developed complete, progressive paralysis and died.

– My Dad started having problems after his first shot. But was bound and determined to get second shot. He died 5 days after second shot of a massive heart attack 😢 He had no known heart problems before!

As of Monday evening, the post had 80,000 comments, and the vast majority of them appeared to be critical of the vaccines.

WXYZ-TV ran a story on Monday about an unvaccinated (and obese) 53-year-old grandmother who was...

Orban offers Pope copy of 1250 letter in which a Hungarian king pleads for help against Tartar invasion

Hungarians Repel The Tartars

During his visit to Budapest on Sunday to celebrate mass, Pope Francis met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose anti-migration policy in Hungary he does not share. The Pope received a copy of a letter reminding him why he should be more circumspect in his views.

The letter is a copy of a 1250 letter from Hungarian King Bela IV to Pope Innocent IV pleading for support in resisting the Mongol invasion of Hungary and Europe. After various Turkic nomadic groups became part of the armies of the Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan in the early 13th century, these Turkic armies raided Russia and Hungary and became known to Europeans as Tartars.

Pope Francis on Sunday, at the end of a flash visit to Budapest during the closing open-air Mass of the International Eucharistic Congress, had urged Hungarians to be more “open” after meeting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The Pope’s remarks were aimed at Orban’s sovereignist policies: “Religious sentiment has been the lifeblood of this nation, so attached to its roots. Yet the cross, planted in the ground, not only invites us to be well-rooted, it also raises and extends its arms towards everyone.”

Orban, who has spoken out against “the Muslim invasion” offered Francis a copy of a letter from 1250 from a Hungarian king sent to the pope at the time, pleading for aid from the West against the Tartar warriors threatening Christian Hungary.

Orban responded to the Pope’s challenge: “I asked the Pope not to let the Christians of Hungary perish.” The Prime Minister reported on the meeting with Francis on his Facebook account, where he also posted a photo of his meeting with the leader of the 1,3 billion Catholics. The letter is also an historical reminder that ordinary people secured the victory over the Golden Horde and the threat of the Mongolian Empire.

Never in Vatican memory has such a “diplomatic affront” to a pope from a regularly elected head of government been witnessed, reported French daily Le Figaro.


Hungarians remember their history

The European Social Survey showed that anti-immigrant sentiment in the Hungarian public was higher than in most of the post-socialist block. These views are particularly strong when it comes to Muslims: according to the Pew Research Center, 72 percent of Hungarians had unfavorable views of Muslims in 2016 compared to the EU median of 43 percent even though Hungary has a small Muslim population.

Hungarians were also more likely to consider refugees a burden or a major threat more than the average...

“This Work Terrifies Me”: Virginia Tech Professor Triggers Free Speech Debate Over “Who I Am” Statement


It is now common for faculty to include diversity statements with their syllabus. Indeed, such statements are encouraged at most schools. However, a statement by a human development and family science assistant professor at Virginia Tech University has triggered a debate over academic freedom and free speech. Crystal Lynn Duncan Lane reportedly added a “Who I Am” section to her syllabus that has drawn criticism on sites like Campus Reform and from some of her students over an apology for being white and middle class. While Lane states that dealing with her own latent racism is “work [that] terrifies me,” her statement has outraged others who felt that it was itself racist against white students and colleagues. As will come as little surprise to regulars on this site, I believe this is protected speech by Lane. The question for me is whether the university would tolerate a statement denying such inherent racism from a professor. That is the true test of free speech and academic freedom.

In her statement, Lane declares:
“I am a Caucasian cisgender female and first-generation college student from Appalachia who is of Scottish, British, and Norwegian heritage. I am married to a cisgender male, and we are middle class. While I did not ‘ask’ for the many privileges in my life: I have benefitted from them and will continue to benefit from them whether I like it or not.” At the end of her statement, Duncan Lane apologizes to students for the “inexcusable horrors within our shared history.”
The site Campus Reform further quotes Lane as saying
“This is injustice. I am and will continue to work on a daily basis to be antiracist and confront the innate racism within myself that is the reality and history of white people. I want to be better: Every day. I will transform: Every day. This work terrifies me: Every day. I invite my white students to join me on this journey. And to my students of color: I apologize for the inexcusable horrors within our shared history.”
The statement is reminiscent of other such declarations discussed earlier on this site. Last year, we discussed the controversy over the acting Northwestern Law Dean declaring publicly to “I am James Speta and I am a racist.” He was followed by Emily Mullin, executive director of major gifts, who announced, “I am a racist and a gatekeeper of white supremacy. I will work to be better.” Other faculty have been more accusatory of others like the Brandeis dean who declared “all whites are racist.”

Such statements reflect deep-seated political and social views from faculty. Those views may be deeply insulting for students or other faculty. However, I believe that they are still protected speech and reflect intellectual views protected under academic freedom.

The concern that I have is the inconsistent treatment of such controversies where conservative or contrarian faculty are given little accommodation, including a recent case at St. Joseph’s University. A conservative North Carolina professor faced calls for termination over controversial tweets and was pushed to retire. Dr. Mike Adams, a professor of sociology and criminology, had long been a lightning rod of controversy. In 2014, we discussed his prevailing in a lawsuit that alleged discrimination due to his conservative views. He was then targeted again after an inflammatory tweet calling North Carolina a “slave state.” That led to his being pressured to resign with a settlement. He then committed suicide just days before his last day as a professor.

Professor Lane is expressing her views of racism, including her...
