Caturday felid trifecta: Top 5 “big cat moments” on BBC Earth; man fakes death in front of his cat; stray cats invade a home with an open door;

whyevolutionistrue's avatarWhy Evolution Is True

Today we have an All Video Edition of Caturday felids. The first shows the best five Cat Moments from the BBC Earth series. It’s 15 minutes long, but well worth watching for the impatient.  The segments:

  1. Baby tiger is introduced to the water. (It’s my dream to hug one of these beauties.)
  2. A leopard mom protects her cubs from wild d*gs
  3. A tiger kills a wild boar. The board struggles and squeals, but to no avail. (Trigger warning: Nature red in tooth and claw.)
  4. After two years of rearing in captivity, a jaguar is released into the wild. This is how I feel when my ducks fledge and fly away for the year.
  5. A pride of lions take down a buffalo—a dangerous pursuit. It looks like the lions win, but the buffalo miraculously survives and chases the lions away.

What do you think would happen if a man faked…

Here’s Michelle Malkin On Illegal Immigration

This is a hard problem for Democrats. They want open borders, at least until we get through the next census count. If they can add enough illegals to get counted in the census in all the sanctuary cities and states, they can add more representatives in the House of Representatives which is organized on the basis of population. The Senate is organized on the basis that each state will have two Senators, no matter what the population, so that all states are represented equally.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, Conservatives believe that immigrants should enter the United States legally. Apply at the U.S. Consulate in their own country, or apply for asylum at the border. Democrats like to believe that letting immigrants just cross the border wherever is because “America is a nation of immigrants”— actually it’s a nation of citizens, and if you want to become a citizen, do it…

Nesrine Malik of the Guardian calls for speech restrictions

whyevolutionistrue's avatarWhy Evolution Is True

This “long read” at the Guardian, written by Nesrine Malik (click on screenshot), could easily have been a short read, as much of it is a personalized rant about the online abuse Malike suffered, and a series of misguided claims that a). there is no ‘free speech crisis’, b.) that those advocating free speech and pretending there’s a crisis are really looking for a cover so they can spout racism and Islamophobia, and c.) that we need to “reclaim” free speech by, among other things, banning or disinviting more speakers. In the course of her argument, though, Malik completely mischaracterizes what most reasonable people mean by free speech.

We’ve met Malik twice before, in both cases when she argued that free speech was really a cover to vent Islamophobia (see here and here, with the last piece discussing her ideas about banning “hate speech”).  Since she was born…
