close Video Threat of cancel culture to freedom in America 'The Madness of Crowds' author Douglas Murray provides insight on ‘Fox and Friends.’ We’ve heard a lot about "cancel culture" of late. From debates about what it is and if it really exists to a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) dedicated to it, politicos of all stripes have weighed in. Just last week, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, called for congressional hearings about its threat. The definition of cancel culture is tough to nail down but, fundamentally, it’s about punishing someone for something they’ve said or done in the past that is deemed unacceptable. This judgement is often a result of changing cultural norms and mores by a subgroup of people who are often unaccountable to the broader public. The punishments vary but usually involve a loss of money or status – ensuring someone is fired or de-platformed , blackballing a company or product, invalidating awards or honors. TUCKER CARLSON: THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DOOMSDAY CULT AND THE GROWTH OF THE POLICE STATE Much of the recent coverage around cancel culture has been focused on high-profile cases of people in the public eye – the firing of Disney star Gina Carano for social media posts, President Trump’s social media ban, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., having his book dropped by its original publisher. But our concerns should be less about whether a celebrity gets booted from a show or a senator has to change book publishers – since there’s only so much capacity for outrage and discussions around the chilling of free speech – and focus our attention on the many real crises happening below our collective radar.

Gopher Basketball Falls Against Rutgers, 77-70 In OT
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jacob Young had 23 points, seven assists and five rebounds to help Rutgers hold off Minnesota for a 77-70 victory Saturday in overtime to finish the regular season. Myles Johnson added nine points and 15 rebounds and Geo Baker and Montez Mathis scored 12 points apiece for the Scarlet Knights (14-10, 10-10 Big Ten), who took a critical step toward solidifying the program’s first NCAA Tournament invitation since 1991. READ MORE: COVID In Minnesota: MDH Reports 897 New Cases, 4 More Deaths Brandon Johnson had 19 points and 11 rebounds for the banged-up Gophers (13-14, 6-14), who lost their seventh straight game to put the job of eighth-year head coach Richard Pitino in jeopardy. Young hit a jumper on the first possession of overtime to help get Rutgers re-centered after squandering a 14-point second-half lead. The Scarlet Knights were ahead for the entire extra period. Tre’ Williams went to the line for Minnesota with 1:51 left and a three-point deficit, but he missed both foul shots. With the Gophers still within one score at 73-70, Marcus Carr went hard to the basket in heavy traffic but missed his layup with 1:07 remaining. Carr, who had 84 points over the previous three games, finally scored with 3:32 left in regulation on a pair of free throws that cut the lead to 61-57. With 50 seconds to go, he swished the tying 3-pointer right in front of his team’s bench as he stared back in celebration. Carr finished with seven points on 1-for-13 shooting, with seven rebounds. With the family members of the Gophers making as much noise as they could in the otherwise-empty arena by cheering and banging on their maroon chairs, they hustled and muscled their way back in the game — even after a 3-pointer by Ron Harper Jr. put Rutgers up by double digits again at 61-51 at the 5:56 mark. The Scarlet Knights notched their first win in five visits to Minnesota since joining the Big Ten in 2014. They’re 6-6 against the Gophers as a member of the ...
What Dr. Suess can still teach us
Dr. Seuss Enterprises, a private company, has chosen to respond to consumer desires while seeking to maximize the sales of their products in the long run in a capitalist free market. To this end, it has announced that it will no longer sell six individual children’s books written decades ago by Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, because of the books’ racist depictions of Asians and Blacks. This decision has engendered fury and cries of “political correctness” from the right — the same people who usually view the unfettered free market as the paragon of individual freedom. As is often the case, a bit of historical reality ought to be injected into this conversation. When I was a young man destined for a career as a physician and medical historian, my mother, an eighth-grade English teacher, presented me with two books from our home. They had been childhood storybooks read in the 1940s by my oldest sister. They were scribbled with my late sister’s crayons. My mother told me to set these books aside because, in the future, she thought they would be the source of historical lessons. ADVERTISEMENT The books are “Little Brown Koko” and “Little Black Sambo.” The first was a collection of stories written by Blanche Seale Hunt (1912–1973) and serialized in magazines before being collected as a children’s book. The book was wildly popular and sold more than 600,000 copies . They were promoted to be read aloud to children. In each chapter, Koko gets himself into and out of mischief in racist-tinged dialogue and characterizations that make the modern reader cringe. The illustrations are grotesque in their stereotypes. The second book, “Little Black Sambo,” was written by Scottish author Helen Bannerman (1862-1946) and published in 1899. Another very popular children’s book of the first half of the 20th century, the plot concerns an Indian child who outwits four hungry tigers. Bannerman was, of course, writing during an era of British colonial rule over ...

Just so we all are aware. On the line is secretary of state and two other individuals. Jordan and Mr. Germany with him. You also have the attorneys that represent the president, Kurt and Alex and Cleta Mitchell — who is not the attorney of record but has been involved — myself and then the president. So Mr. President, I’ll turn it over to you. Trump: Okay, thank you very much. Hello Brad and Ryan and everybody. We appreciate the time and the call. So we’ve spent a lot of time on this, and if we could just go over some of the numbers, I think it’s pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially in Georgia. You even see it by rally size, frankly. We’d be getting 25-30,000 people a rally, and the competition would get less than 100 people. And it never made sense. But we have a number of things. We have at least 2 or 3 — anywhere from 250 to 300,000 ballots were dropped mysteriously into the rolls. Much of that had ...
