When men do what needs to be done
Toxic masculinity strikes again: Man who saved 24 stranded motorists in Buffalo snowstorm identified
The best story of the day comes from the deep snows of Buffalo, New York, where 50 inches of snow buried the city in blizzard conditions, leaving cars on the road stranded and 40 people dead.
Except that there would have been a lot more of them had this man not stepped up.
According to ABC News:
Police in the town of Cheektowaga, just outside of Buffalo, credit 27-year-old Jay Withey with saving the lives of two dozen people during the deadly storm by rescuing strangers from cars trapped in the snow and bringing them into a school for shelter.
"I feel 100% that Jay's actions were heroic and 100% saved lives," Cheektowaga Police Chief Brian Gould said.

Life in Chicago: the insane that walk among us
DECEMBER 29, 2022
A chihuahua was stabbed multiple times on a Chicago street while on a walk with a teenage girl Monday — and a 61-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the attack against the dog.
What are the details?
The 15-year-old girl, the dog's owner, was outside her family's home in the 6600 block of West Irving Park Road on the city's northwest side when a stranger launched the attack, WLS-TV reported.
Police said the suspect stopped to talk to the girl, WFLD-TV reported, but "moments later without warning" the suspect ran toward the dog and stabbed it with a knife. The girl tried to run away with the dog, but the suspect chased them and stabbed the dog several more times, WFLD said, citing court documents.

How much freedom are you willing to give these leftists?

Oxford residents will soon be prisoners of their own neighborhoods
This is one of those stories that you’re certain is from the Babylon Bee, and that is stunning in its implications when it turns out to be the truth. In this case, the truth is that, in accordance with UN and WEF climate recommendations, the city of Oxford (home to the famed university) approved plans mandating that citizens may not drive more than 15 minutes distance from their homes without permission. It’s called the “15 Minute City” and is intended to reduce auto emissions. Mostly, though, it will reduce liberty, which is what climate change madness has always been about.
In many ways, the 15 Minute City (which the WEF and UN approvingly tout) is an old, unexceptional idea: Even in big cities, people like vibrant neighborhoods that allow them to travel very short distances (walking, riding a bike, or driving) to fulfill their daily needs (food, clothing, haircuts, etc.). Indeed, there are lots of people who pick homes based on their proximity to amenities. They don’t want to spend their lives in their cars or on public transportation chasing from one thing to another. And that’s fine. Making choices based on lifestyle preferences is a perfectly sound, market-based way to go through life.
But the marketplace is not what globalists want. They want control. Certainly, that’s the case in and around Oxford, England. Word is trickling into America that both the leftist Oxfordshire County Council and the Oxford City Council have plans. Big plans.
'White supremac' is the product sold by those in the race business
DECEMBER 29, 2022Time.com published a bizarre Q&A recently, exploring an author's unorthodox attacks on the origins of physical fitness and exercise.
The article, titled "The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise, and 6 Other Surprising Facts About the History of U.S. Physical Fitness," provides an uncited attempt to describe sinister origins behind everything from President Kennedy's fitness campaign to simple running.
Author Natalia Mehlman Petrzela wrote "Fit Nation," a book that states in its synopsis that "fitness is a social justice issue."
Petrzela reminds readers that until 1920, being fat was attractive. "What would be considered today fat or bigger, was actually desirable and actually signified affluence—which is like the polar opposite of today," she explained.
