#NoHijabDay
For Iranian women hijab is a symbol of discrimination and bigotry
Because I protested against forced hijab, I was arbitrarily detained three times, interrogated, beaten, and thrown into solitary confinement and faced the most frightening experience of my life
Welcome to the American Gulag
Sally Zelikovsky, Frontpage Mag, Feb 2, 2021
The wall, the gulag, and the empire were inescapable physical reminders that the mind, body and soul of the individual were irrelevant. Free will to create and think for oneself was squelched by the State. Morality was dictated by the State. Independent thought challenging Soviet dogma was subversive and duly punished.
In contemporary America, where the walls are closing in on the individual—obliterating traditional notions of freedom—we find ourselves crossing the threshold into an American-style gulag, where the fortifications that have shored up a centuries-long quest for a more perfect union, are beginning to buckle.

Confused Kamala Harris
Jayme Metzgar, The Federalist, Feb 1, 2021
…Harris… reassured West Virginia coal miners that even if their jobs disappear under the Biden administration — and the implication was clear that they would disappear — mine workers could transfer their skills to new industries. She then listed several exciting new careers coal miners could consider. The first of these was, and I quote: “reclaiming abandoned land mines.” … Sure, it was just a gaffe (and a funny one too), but the message to West Virginians came through: D.C. elites aren’t even trying to understand you.
