Anyway, as we said before, yesterday was a really bad day for Brian Krassenstein. Now, shame would dictate that he'd want to back off a little bit. Maybe take some time to re-evaluate his life. Or maybe just go into hiding.

But because this is Brian Krassenstein we're dealing with, that's not what he did. He just picked up a few more shovels and that hole even deeper:

“The Southern Poverty Law Center has put a target on the back of every mom that wants to stand up and speak out on behalf of her child and we take that very seriously so we have invested in extra security,” Tina Descovich, a Florida school board member who co-founded Moms for Liberty, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Tuesday.

“We have received numerous threats,” she noted, without specifying if they appeared to be serious. “We receive threats all the time and forward them to appropriate law enforcement.”

The Philadelphia Police Department told The Daily Signal it is not aware of any reported threats ahead of the summit.

The summit, which runs June 29-July 2, will feature numerous Republican presidential candidates, including former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and Vivek Ramaswamy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democrat, recently canceled his plans to speak at the summit.

The threats come weeks after the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-leaning organization that gained a reputation suing Klan groups into bankruptcy during the 1980s, put Moms for Liberty on its “hate map” alongside Klan chapters.

As I wrote in my book “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center,” the SPLC has weaponized its history by transforming its Klanwatch program into an Intelligence Project that brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations “hate groups,” adding them to the “hate map.”

Mad Lads Hijack 'Just Stop Oil' Protest, Take Their Banner on Stag Party Trip to Ibiza



Of the many odious Left-wing protest groups the West tolerates for some reason, Just Stop Oil (JSO) may be the most reviled in all of England. The group is famous for pulling pranks that inconvenience and annoy people, leading almost everyone they affect to despise them. They interrupt high-profile sports matches. They cause traffic snarls that lead to blocked ambulances and death. They throw food onto famous artworks. They glue themselves to things and ruin commuters’ lives. They even caused a pileup at the intersection when they blocked a float in London’s Pride parade Saturday:







And so, when brave men disrupt the JSO zombies for a change, those people must rightly be recognized as the heroes they are.

Meet Charlie Pearce, a 33-year-old builder and landscaper from Surrey, England, who is getting married in September. Ahead of the big day, he and 13 bros planned a stag party on the Spanish Island of Ibiza. They set out on Friday, dressed for adventure and towing their wheelie suitcases behind them as they walked to London’s Waterloo Station. Suddenly, they came face to face with an obnoxious JSO protest. The climate freaks were engaging in a “slow march” — an un-permitted pop-up protest designed to block traffic and infuriate as many people as possible.

Already in high spirits and dressed head-to-toe in pink and a tutu, Pearce joined right in. He stepped into the front rank of protestors, marching along behind their banner. “We love you oil, we do!” chanted Pearce, pumping a fist as his buddies joined in. The JSO marchers remained silent and plodded forward like good little brain-dead automatons. Then the groom-to-be grabbed the banner in both hands and ran off with it.







But wait — it gets funnier. After posing for photos with the garish orange banner in the Underground, the mad lads took the trophy with them on their trip. The UK’s Daily Mail has the rest of the story:

The stag party who ruined a Just Stop Oil protest by chanting ‘We love you oil, we do!’ have touched down in Ibiza – and the groom has vowed to take the eco-clowns’ banner on a tour of the island’s mega clubs. … Mr Pearce even hinted it could make an appearance at his September wedding.
[…]
After touching down in Ibiza and snapping a quick group photo with the banner in front of the airport sign, Mr Pearce, who has two children and a step-daughter, told MailOnline: ‘To be honest, I was actually willing to just go home after that start!
‘It’s hard to peak what we’ve just done in Waterloo. We trekked across London, got on the plane, landed in Ibiza and I was quite happy just to go home! It was just funny as it was.’
Mr Pearce and his friends, which includes some professional cricketers, are planning to take the banner to some of Ibiza’s classic institutions such as the world-renowned Ocean Beach club. ‘We’ll show it and show our support for the anti-Just Stop Oil,’ he added.

China Predicts ‘Total Collapse’ of Hollywood After Indiana Jones Flop



The Chinese government propaganda newspaper Global Times dramatically predicted a “total collapse of the box office” for Hollywood in the near future as a result of its movies’ “repetitive” plots and “dated” American values.

The latest death knell for the life of the American film industry in the eyes of the Global Times was the dismal theater debut of the fifth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The film, starring 80-year-old Harrison Ford still in the titular role, debuted in both America and China this weekend. The Chinese Communist Party bans most American movies from being featured in Chinese theaters, so studios often seek approval only for the films expected to make the most money at China’s box office, the world’s largest.

Indiana Jones was, according to Variety, a tremendous failure in China. The magazine documented a $2.5-million profit for the movie this weekend, about $900,000 on Friday and smaller numbers on Saturday and Sunday because theaters, seeing a lack of public interest, removed it from their screens. The Global Times claimed the movie’s revenue was at about $2.6 million in China by Monday.

A step toward true equality



To some, affirmative action was code not only for discrimination, but condescension. It implied that because of slavery and systemic racism, Blacks were incapable of succeeding without the help of government. Is that not a form of racism, especially when so many Blacks have demonstrated success in politics and many other professions? Why aren't these success stories being told more often and used as examples of what others can do if they put their minds to it?

It is always helpful to define words. To discriminate means "to make a distinction in favor of or against a person or thing on the basis of the group, class, or category to which the person or thing belongs rather than according to actual merit." That's the rotten fruit of affirmative action.

Justice Clarence Thomas, who knows something about a difficult upbringing and what it takes to succeed, penned a rejoinder to what he called Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson's "race-infused worldview." He said the majority "sees the universities' admissions policies for what they are: rudderless, race-based preferences designed to ensure a particular racial mix in their entering classes." Thomas added: "Individuals are the sum of their unique experiences, challenges, and accomplishments. What matters is not the barriers they face, but how they choose to confront them. And their race is not to blame for everything — good or bad — that happens in their lives."

For those who are concerned that some Black students might not be fully prepared for college-level work, especially at elite schools, there is a solution, consistent with their work and study ethic. It is school choice. Nothing could better prepare a young person of whatever race or background like attending a good school that can provide the education foundation — along with other right choices — that can lead to a successful life.
