Button urges Leclerc to think big and aim for title
Jenson Button wants Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to upgrade his ambitions this season and take the fight for the title to Lewis Hamilton. Leclerc performed well during his maiden season with the Scuderia, securing his first two wins with the Italian outfit, clinching more pole positions than any other driver in 2019 and outscoring teammate Sebastian Vettel in the drivers’ championship. For his second season with the House of Maranello, his third in F1, Button sees no reason why the Monegasque can’t give Hamilton a run for his money and challenge for the title. “Charles has gone through that honeymoon period at Ferrari and now it is about knuckling down and…

Dr. Jordan Peterson: The Left Is Too P.C. to Grasp Playful Seduction
Psychology professor and author Dr. Jordan Peterson told Breitbart News on Thursday that the song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” has become offensive to the Left because they have become too politically correct to grasp the concept of playful seduction. “I think the idea that seduction can be a game played by two people, a man and a woman, generally speaking,” said Peterson, “and that both understand the rules, I think that idea has become politically incorrect.” “I think the kind of back and forth that is laid out rather comically in that song — it exists in violation to the strictures that have been established by the sorts of people…

Russian Stalinist who invented Europe
Alexandre Kojève was a Russian aristocrat, a philosophy professor, a high-ranking French civil servant, possibly a spy — and one of the more unlikely early architects of the European Union. He inspired a generation of intellectuals and, from his perch as an influential civil servant in the French ministry of economy, mentored some of the political figures who would later lead France and Europe. While the idea of a union has many fathers, Kojève was instrumental in its realization by helping to broker the Treaty of Rome, the document that established the European Economic Community and articulated the principle of an “ever closer union.” But don’t expect any of the…

While Louboutin also makes trainers and flat shoes, he admitted that when it comes to the spike-heeled classics that made his name: “I don’t think about…

Left-wing HBO host Bill Maher launched a vicious attack on the Covington Catholic High School students on Friday, describing student Nick Sandmann as a “little prick,” while also cracking wise about students being sexually abused by Catholic priests.
