John Cleese cancels event at university over ‘woke rules,’ says he is ‘blacklisting’ himself for his Hitler impersonation
John Cleese, one of the stars of legendary British comedic troupe Monty Python, is no stranger to making crude, insensitive, politically incorrect comments and jokes. He has made a career of it.
But that's a problem in today's woke world.
So when Cleese heard about an art historian being canceled at Cambridge University over an impersonation of Adolf Hitler that reportedly offended students, the world-famous comic actor decided to cancel himself from an upcoming speaking gig at Cambridge.

Kyle Rittenhouse may be acquitted of most charges following revelations in trial: legal analyst
“Anything other than an acquittal on the top charges would be a miscarriage of justice,” said Gagliano.
This is very distressing to watch. Hopefully this will be an eye-opener for a lot of people.
Just like the George Floyd death (from a fentanyl overdose) video activated something in (misguided) people, we need a similar catalyst event to send people back to a place of sobriety – BrandX.

Judge slams prosecutors for trying to use Rittenhouse’s right to remain silent against him
“You are already, I was astonished, when you began your examination by focusing on the defendant’s post-arrest silence. That’s basic law, it’s been basic law in this country for 40 years, 50 years,” the judge said.

Actor Matthew McConaughey comes out against vaccine mandates for children: ‘I’m not vaccinating mine, I’ll tell you that’
Outspoken actor Matthew McConaughey says he believes the COVID-19 vaccine should not be mandated for children. McConaughey, 52, has previously floated a possible campaign challenge to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R).
I definitely consider myself a local supporter of Nick and his work. I would recommend supporting him on Locals here, as he has some good work both behind and in front of him, with a book coming later in 2021 and other projects.
In 2020 he was the focus of a fanatical UK based Black Lives Matter mob, whom applied pressure to get him fired from a charity that he founded over here.
Luckily he was able to win out in the long term and get his job back. He’s the real deal and a good man… we need to support him!
Finally his upcoming book ‘Lessons in Courage: How I Fought Back Against Cancel Culture and Won’ is now available for pre-order. I believe this is due out in a few weeks – BrandX.
Britain & Slavery: A forgotten history - by Nick Buckley MBE
The more I read about slavery, the more I realise I know nothing. I have spent most of my life with only two reference points to this horrendous practice. As a child, I watched films like Spartacus and Ben Hur, they highlighted slavery in the Roman period. In primary school, I read about the trans-Atlantic slave trade. At home, I watched a TV series called Roots every Sunday evening. And at some point in my teens, I learnt that the word slave derived from Slav because so many Eastern Europeans had been enslaved. I grew up believing I knew everything there was to know about slavery. I was wrong.

Dave Rubin is a good guy. Always a voice of reason and calm judgement. It is hard to believe that he used to be with the Far-left neo-Marxist garbage channel ‘The Young Turks’ once upon a time!.

“Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about Matthew McConaughey coming out against vaccine mandates for kids, Jimmy Kimmel’s predictable explanation for Kamala Harris’ historically low approval rating, and Tucker Carlson’s exposing of mainstream media’s lies about Kyle Rittenhouse. First, Dave shares a clip of Matthew McConaughey being interviewed by the New York Times’ Andrew Ross Sorkin where he revealed that he does not have plans to vaccinate his kids. Despite his reasonable explanation, the online outrage mob is already attacking him for opposing school vaccine mandates. Next, Dave shares an embarrassing clip of Jimmy Kimmel trying to explain why Kamala Harris’ approval ratings are now the lowest of any Vice President in history. He of course comes up with the only explanation possible to his woke mind, everyone is sexist and racist. Finally, a clip from Tucker Carlson exposing how wrong the media’s Kyle Rittenhouse lies actually were. With new information coming out from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, we can now see how baseless and wrong the accusations against Kyle were. Tucker brilliantly exposes their grotesque lies that went unchallenged for so long.”

Irony: The Key to Proving the ‘Vaccines’ Do Not Work May Be LGBTQ+ Data
Opposition to the Covid-19 “vaccines” crosses the political spectrum, though data seems to indicate right-leaning Americans are far more likely to be against the jabs and their mandates than their left-leaning counterparts. The LGBTQ+ community also crosses political lines, as Ric Grenell and others have clearly demonstrated, but generally the lifestyle is associated with the political left.
Pluralist - Zoom Masturbator Toobin: Rittenhouse Luck Being a ‘Idiot’ Isn’t ‘Illegal’
CNN put the top on an enormous can of dumb assimilation Wednesday when Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand at his murder trial. Zoom masturbator and chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin went off on the teenager saying he was lucky it wasn’t “illegal to be an idiot.” And along with Jerk-free throwing stones in his glass house, senior legal Laura Coates had the nerve to claim the media have been “sympathetic” to him.
