Muslim dating app wants to pay the fine for Muslim women in France if they swim dressed in a burkini
The Muslim dating app “Muzz” has offered to pay fines for wearing burkinis. The idea is to achieve by provocation or by creating the conditions for a violent confrontation what the rule of law forbids, argues essayist Céline Pina.
The ban on the burqini or bathing burqa in swimming pools was considered a defeat by the Islamists, who tend towards the Muslim Brotherhood, as they tried, with the help of associations, to impose this garment, which was supposed to mark civilisational separatism, even in places of leisure. Since, for the Islamists, respect for the law does not count, when the struggle is lost in the realm of legality, it is shifted back to the streets and the calls to disobey the rules continue. The idea is to achieve by provocation, tension or by creating the conditions for violence what the rule of law forbids. Hence the proposal by Muzz, a UK-based dating site, to take over the fines of those who refuse to abide by French law: “Muslim sisters, it’s hot outside, go for a swim. Don’t worry, Muzz will reimburse you if you get fined for wearing a burkini”.
This marketing campaign caused quite a stir in the networks. The hashtag #freetheburkini quickly became a trend. So the search for buzz worked well and fulfilled its function as an identity-creating call to order and victim-oriented lament. To justify its positioning, the website seizes on Islamist rhetoric, declaring that Muslim women are “condemned to an unfair choice – escape the heatwave by swimming in a bikini or pay a fine for choosing a plain outfit”. This is how Islamists portray the ban on full-face veils on the beach, when one is forced to dress like an immoral “whore” because one cannot wear shameful clothing.
Not all who wear a headscarf are aware of it, but they participate, even if they do not want to, in the rejection of equality.Le Figaro
Biden, the most unpopular president ever
Never before has a US President met with so much rejection in such a short time. And he has managed this with full mainstream media backing.
According to a recent CNBC All-America poll, just 36 percent of US voters are overall happy with Biden’s performance. That’s one percent below Trump’s worst approval rating. An even smaller proportion, 30 percent, approved of his economic performance, more than 10 percent down from Trump’s worst rating of 41 percent. Other polls have come to similar conclusions.
In several swing states that voted for Biden in the 2020 presidential election, only 40 percent of voters are satisfied with Biden’s performance, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Biden’s approval ratings in the second quarter of 2022 are lower in 32 states than Trump’s in the same period four years ago, according to the renowned market research institute Morning Consult.
The fact that US presidents lose approval in the early years is nothing new. This has been proven by many surveys in recent decades. But never before has a US president faced as much rejection as Biden. This is illustrated, for example, by surveys by the US news website FiveThirtyEight, which used a particularly large set of statistics.
Not a single one of his predecessors since Eisenhower has received so much rejection in such a short time. As comparisons show, dissatisfaction with Biden has been rising faster than with any of his predecessors in decades. Conversely, no one’s popularity sank as quickly and as deeply as Biden’s, especially among his own supporters from the Democratic Party.

Wolves reliably predict ‘far-right voting’
In Germany, “the wolf revival was accompanied by electoral gains for far-right parties,” according to a new study by social scientist Bernhard Clemm von Hohenberg (University of Amsterdam).
The AfD won between one and five percentage points in elections in municipalities that had been attacked by a wolf. Why is there a connection?
First of all, the Alternative für Deutschland party is not happy about the return of the wolf. Not because the party is against “undesirable migrants” in this case, but because of another reason: “The wolf is a predator, which leads to the loss of livestock among farmers”. The AfD has actively campaigned against the animal.
While von Hohenberg could not establish a causal relationship between AfD’s anti-wolf stance and election success, there is a correlation, stemming from voters’ economic and environmental skepticism.
This is how it works: the loss of livestock among farmers is seen by residents as a threat to the local economy. At the same time, the return of the wolf is due to the Green party’s meatless environmental policy of inviting back nature at the expense of farmers. But voters who end up in the AfD corner tend to value economic conservation over environmental and climate conservation.
The researchers collected detailed spatial data on wolf attacks on a municipality-level in Germany. Using difference-in-differences models, they found that wolf attacks were accompanied by a significant rise in conservative voting behavior, while the Green party suffered electoral losses.
In all municipalities after a wolf attack, the AfD gained between 1 and 2 percentage points in voting. In state-level elections, the coefficient was significantly larger, suggesting gains of over 5 percentage points. As one AfD ad stated: “More biodiversity? Sure, if it makes sense. But, our farmers are also part of the environment and farmers need space to live and work.”
Survey data suggested that US Republicans are also more likely to hold anti-wolf attitudes. “In short, the evidence points to wolf attacks being a potential driver of electoral radicalization,” the authors lamented.
Unlike the AfD however, fascists everywhere are still fond of wolves. Adolf Hitler was affectionately referred to as “Uncle Wolf” by the children of Joseph and Magda Goebbels, and several of Hitler’s headquarters were named after a wolf: Wolfsschanze, Wolfsschlucht I, and Wolfsschlucht II. In Ukraine, the Wolfsangel is the emblem of President Zelensky’s Nazi Azov enforcers.
After the novel Werewolf by German author Herman Loens was published in 1910, the Wolfsangel became a popular symbol among German nationalists and was used as a symbol of resistance against the victors of World War I.
The Wolfsangel was widely used in Nazi Germany. It was the symbol of several Nazi organizations and military units, including the 2nd SS Panzer Division “Das Reich,” the 4th SS Police Panzergrenadier Division, the Nazi guerrilla movement “Werewolf,” as well as a number of Wehrmacht units.

Would you send your child to a genderless pre-school?
by Giulio Meotti
A preschool in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, has become “completely gender neutral,” says the Telegraaf. “Would you send your child to a gender neutral primary school?” asks the Telegraaf.Not I.
-Teachers are called “tutors”.
-No more “boys” and “girls”, just “children”.
-Genderless toilets and toys.
-On the other hand, why should a country that legalizes euthanasia of children not build schools that erase biological sex?
For many years, the Church of England has been sending out recurring signals to comply with the injunctions of progressive thinking. St. Albans Cathedral, the oldest and most continuous Christian place of worship in England, has even installed a Leonardo’s Last Supper with a colored Jesus in homage to Black Lives Matter.
Now the Church of England has decided that there is no “official definition” of what a “woman” is. Meanwhile, 360 million Christians in the world suffer a brutal form of persecution, but in the free West there is a state Church that does not know what a woman is. If not the Bible, for which people are persecuted today from China to Africa to the Middle East, these “bishops” could have followed biology. But the woke religion doesn’t need to become a recognized church, as we often read. It will simply take the place of a British church destined to disappear within the next 40 years.
The Biden Administration, Democrats in Congress, and liberal movements in America have all dropped the word “mother” to appease the transgender community. The National Education Association, the largest teachers union in the country, replaces “mother” with “person who gives birth”. Meanwhile, Jill Biden has just attended the Latinx conference, the horrible gender-neutral neologism to indicate Latinos. But Latinos don’t like being called a name that sounds like it needs a kleenex and so they’re moving right to the GOP.
She wanted to talk about how there are only two sexes in biology. But a group of students announced protests and biologist Marie Luise Vollbrecht’s lecture at the famous Humboldt University in Berlin (where she taught Hegel and studied Albert Einstein and Max Planck) was canceled,
The Welt said the lecture’s title was “Sex, gender and why there are only two sexes in biology”. The university justified the censorship with “security problems” ahead of the protest. Vollbrecht told Bild that cancellation “is giving in to radical and violent activists who have no understanding of biology.” We can no longer speak of a debate “when events are canceled out of fear of violence”. The incident is another example of the “radical means used by gender ideologues”.
All these stories happened over the last few weeks and that means that the West is disintegrating very rapidly along its decadent lines. What kind of world are we leaving our children?
A Third of Germans Want Apology From Merkel Over Energy Crisis
Around a third of Germans believe that former German Chancellor Angela Merkel should offer a public apology for her failed energy policy due to Germany’s reliance on Russian gas.
A total of 32 per cent of Germans said they agreed that former Chancellor Merkel should publicly apologise for her energy policies that led to German having such a reliance on Russian natural gas, according to a new survey.
Supporters of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) are the most likely to demand an apology from the former German leader, with 52 per cent of AfD supporters backing the idea. Around a third of the supports of the Greens also support a formal apology, German tabloid Bild reports.
Germany is currently facing an energy crisis as the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was closed due to maintenance and although it will reopen this week, it is expected to only be operating at around 30 per cent capacity.
According to Bild, the German federal government has set a target of 40 per cent capacity in order for the country to avoid gas shortages during the upcoming winter.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump criticised former Chancellor Merkel’s energy policy in 2018, stating that the country was too reliant on Russian gas supplies.
“The former Chancellor of Germany is the head of the pipeline company that’s supplying the gas… Germany is totally controlled by Russia — they will be getting 60-70 per cent of their energy and a new pipeline… I think it’s not [appropriate] and it’s a very bad thing for NATO…. I think we have to talk to Germany about that.,” Trump said during a NATO conference.
Russia cutting off the gas supply to Germany could also lead to severe economic harm, with a June report claiming that Germany could lose as much as 200 billion euros if the supply of Russian gas is halted and the national economy could shrink by as much as 12.7 per cent.

Dewey educates from the grave
By M.B. Mathews
John Dewey was an American philosopher, progressive, and a psychologist who was largely responsible for destroying education in America. In 1916 he founded the American Federation of Teachers. He was a pluperfect elitist who promoted social engineering to establish a new social order and who believed that this could be accomplished through education in American schools, where his ideology is firmly entrenched.
To most easily indoctrinate and manipulate children, he found a way to eliminate critical thought skills. Dewey writes:
The purpose of education should not revolve around the acquisition of a pre-determined set of skills, but rather the realization of one’s full potential and the ability to use those skills for the greater good. (My Pedagogic Creed, 1897) The mere absorption of facts and truths is so exclusively an individual affair that it tends very naturally to pass into selfishness. There is no obvious social motive for the acquirement of mere learning, there is no clear social gain in success thereat. (The School and Society, 1899)
Dewey’s goal was not to inform students with what they needed to learn but to tell them what to think. He believed that cooperation, sociology, and psychology provided all that was needed for a good life. His fraudulent vision was godless, without religion and real education, and thoroughly anti-family.
Dewey’s influence reverberates throughout American culture. He ridiculed the eternal verities such as honor, patriotism, faith. Regarding the teaching of young children, he instituted the “look-say” method, where children are taught a word over and over again until they memorize its shape, not the letters that make the shape. They are not taught the alphabet or to sound a word out or build it from letters. Why is this bothersome? For decades, it has been known that English is a phonetic language, but Dewey was expecting children to “acquire sight vocabularies of 50,000 words.” That is not realistic without a computer in one’s brain. His method failed upward.
Dewey’s ideas decimated reading skills to such a degree that in 1955 Dr. Rudolph Flesch published Why Johnny Can’t Read. The problem endures to this daybecause of the acceptance of Dewey’s ideas by the teachers of America. His progressive ideology was really social engineering designed to inject socialism into America. While his “look-say” method failed, his foray into socialism was successful. But there was a problem: Few people in America wanted his changes. And yet, his influence can be seen everywhere. American educator Bruce Deitrick Price writes:
John Dewey, the world-famous educator, was retained circa 1920 by the new Russian government to advise on the implementation of his progressive ideas throughout the USSR. Circa 1932, the communist government realized that Dewey’s progressiveeducation had created a generation of ignorant delinquents. The Communists in Russia banished Dewey’s ideas from the country. Meanwhile, the communists et al in the United States celebrated Dewey and his policies.
Dewey’s unapologetic progressive indoctrination is still informing the radical Left, who avoid serious education in favor of everything which dumbs down children.
In his latest iteration we have the Ibram Kendi/Nikole Hannah-Jones methods of dividing children into sexualized and racialized camps where one group is taught not mathematics, reading, and civics, nor how to write or think, but to hate the child next to him for being white, straight or smart. It’s about feelings, not knowledge.
Children are not allowed to have a childhood of play and laughter and exploration. They are told what to think, what to do, how to act, and all of it with an angry tension that children should not be exposed to. American government schools are overrun with progressives teaching Dewey’s ideas.
The post-Dewey generations are so willing to tear down statues, eliminate patriotism, rewrite history, ridicule God, suppress dissent, cancel and do violence. Nothing holds them back because nothing that should be carved in stone, is. Nothing is true, nothing is “good”, nothing is sacred. And so, nothing is of value.
Hate is taught to children who should be sharing toys and learning how to care about one another. Where they should be learning compromise, they are taught brute force. Where love should be, there is prejudice. Where knowledge should be, there is the gauzy, undisciplined world of unreality and lies where boys can be girls and men can get pregnant and everything is rainbow colored.
Dewey, with his disdain for truth, honor, patriotism, and faith, is educating from the grave.
