President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka has faced the wrath of the eternally woke for gifting her eight-year-old daughter a white dog. Enraged liberals immediately saw Nazi symbolism in the cutesy image.

In a photo posted to Twitter on Sunday, Ivanka welcomed the first four-legged addition to the Trump clan: a snow-white pooch named Winter. "Meet Winter, Arabella's birthday dream come true and the newest member of the Kushner family!" Trump gushed on Twitter, after gifting the dog to her daughter Arabella as a birthday present.

Some commenters speculated on the dog's breed, suggesting Winter was part Pomeranian and part Husky. Others -seeing things through the rainbow-tinted goggles of wokeness- saw bare-faced white supremacy.

Students say Obama immigration quote racist...when they think it's from Trump

students Campus Reform
President Donald Trump announced that he would use ICE to track down and deport illegal aliens who have been convicted of a crime.

The move prompted outrage from many on the Left who accused the practice of being anti-immigrant and unprecedented.

Proponents of the move pointed out this week that President Barack Obama gave his support to the same policy when he was in office and bragged of deportations of criminals having increased 80 percent during his tenure.

Comment: This demonstrates how easy it is to manufacture moral outrage in an age of subjective morality.

A tearful Extinction Rebellion activist has apologised to a man who was denied the chance to see his father one last time before he died because of a climate protest that left him stuck in traffic.

The grieving man revealed how he had rushed to his father's bedside at Bristol Royal Infirmary after doctors told him he did not have long, but he could not get there in time because protesters were blocking the M32 into the city.

He rang his local radio station to tell his story yesterday afternoon, sparking fury among listeners who branded the demonstrations selfish.

After hearing the BBC Radio Bristol clip, Extinction protester Zoe Jones said she was 'incredibly sorry' but still believed she was 'doing the right thing'.

French medics are outraged: Nurse denied citizenship for working 'too much'

France turned down a citizenship application from an immigrant nurse because she was working too many hours. The news angered fellow medical professionals who have to work overtime due to severe staff shortages in hospitals.

"We need to work more" to catch up with France's more industrious EU neighbors, President Emmanuel Macron recently stated.

A nurse who spends 59 hours at three jobs per week seems like just what the country needs, but it turned out the immigration services don't share the president's views. They rejected the woman's citizenship application over a "violation of working regulations in France"where 48 hours per week is the maximum allowed.

The nurse said she is going to appeal the decision and is fully backed by her colleagues, who shared their frustration online.

Macy's caves to anti-humor outrage police over funny portion plates

Macy's humor portion plates
Macy's has removed a line of portion control dinner plates from their stores after a social justice warrior whined about them on Twitter.

Ironically, Alie Ward, the SJW who lost her mind over the plates, claims to be a comedian. She is also a science correspondent for Innovation Nation on CBS.


The plates in question are from the brand Pourtions which makes dinnerware and drink glasses to help control how much you eat. The smallest circle on these particular plates reads "skinny jeans," while the middle circle reads "favorite jeans," and the largest says "mom jeans."

Ward claimed that the plates can "hurt people."

SOTT Focus: Every Woman Has a Right to Have Her Scrotum Waxed

Jessica Yaniv trans
Refusing to wax a woman's balls is transphobia at its most blatant... and yet here we are, in 2019, still disrespecting trans women's rights by denying them a smooth nutsack.

I'm referring of course to the recent publicity surrounding Jessica Yaniv, a stunning and brave trans woman who has filed complaints against more than a dozen female waxers with the Human Rights Council in British Columbia. And what is the justification these women have attempted to make in order to disguise their obvious bigotry? Well, among other flimsy excuses, 'religious grounds' (the majority of these women are immigrants) and the bizarre claim from one of them that her husband feared for her safety due to the fact that she works from home and has small children to take care of. What on earth does a woman have to fear from a 200+ lbs trans woman who is simply asking to come round to her home and have the hairs removed from her testicle satchel?

'Wrong victims' of Syria war left voiceless by mainstream media, condemn West for their suffering

Now that the Syrian Arab Army and allies have swept much of Syria clean of the terrorist groups introduced into the country by the US interventionist alliance, the civilian trauma is surfacing and is being processed.

In 2005, playwright Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize acceptance speech sent shock waves around the ruling establishment. During the speech, Pinter described the US strategy of "low intensity" conflict:
"Low intensity conflict means that thousands of people die but slower than if you dropped a bomb on them in one fell swoop. It means that you infect the heart of the country, that you establish a malignant growth and watch the gangrene bloom."
The West established the malignant growth in Syria and the wider region, the terrorist groups are a cancer that the Syrian Arab Army and the people of Syria have been battling to contain and cauterize before it spreads to the rest of the world. The gangrene can be perceived as the trauma, the effects of this externally-fomented conflict upon the Syrian people.

Political pawns? Wives of French police officers demand govt action amid suicide epidemic

Rising street violence coupled with government inaction has created intolerable conditions for France's police force, according to wives of officers who spoke with Ruptly. Their concerns come amid a spike in police suicides.

Weekly Yellow Vest demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron's austerity measures have strained France's police force, which was already experiencing fatigue due to personnel and funding shortages. So far this year, 37 cases of suicide have been reported among French police, compared with 35 cases in all of 2018.

For the spouses of serving officers, the mounting stress has become unbearable.

Former assistant US attorney Mimi Rocah claimed that Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders "makes [her] skin crawl" and suggested he's not a "pro-woman candidate" while appearing on MSNBC.

Rocah was part of a panel previewing the upcoming second round of Democratic debates on MSNBC's Up with David Gura. During a discussion about a likely face-off between Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Rocah made her rather caustic comments.

"[A]s a woman, probably considered a somewhat moderate Democrat, I... Bernie Sanders makes my skin crawl. And I can't even identify for you what exactly it is. But I see him as sort of a not pro-woman candidate," Rocah said, adding that she hopes the juxtaposition of Sanders and Warren appearing against each other in the debates will win more voters over to her side.

Chinese investment in the US plummeted 88% since Trump took office

convention
Growing distrust between the United States and China has slowed the once steady flow of Chinese cash into America, with Chinese investment plummeting by nearly 90% since President Donald Trump took office.

The falloff, which is being felt broadly across the economy, stems from tougher regulatory scrutiny in the United States and a less hospitable climate towards Chinese investment, as well as Beijing's tightened limits on foreign spending.

It is affecting a range of industries, including Silicon Valley startups, the Manhattan real estate market and state governments that spent years wooing Chinese investment, underscoring how the world's two largest economies are beginning to decouple after years of increasing integration.
