Leftists Flocked to Bluesky After Musk Brought Free Speech to Twitter: Look What Happened

Amid the furor over the 2024 election, many leftists abandoned pro-free speech X for a social media alternative, and the results are stunning.

Platform Bluesky is attempting to cater to its most anti-free speech users, claiming it will increase censorship to “max capacity,” but apparently it can’t crush speech fast enough to satisfy its user base. Many leftists, especially after the 2024 election turned into a landslide victory for Republicans, lashed out at President-elect Donald Trump’s ally and X owner Elon Musk, leaving X behind.

Greenpeace activists chained themselves to a mockup of oil-extraction equipment outside the official residence of the Official Opposition leader Thursday morning.

It’s not clear whether Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his family were at home at the Stornoway residence at the time.

Two protesters chained themselves to replica pumpjacks to call out what Greenpeace says is Poilievre’s “anti-climate agenda.”

Donald Trump is winning the war against the mainstream media

Heading into America’s election day, the mainstream media wrote repeatedly that the race was neck-and-neck, a dead heat. When Donald Trump won decisively it was another standout example – remember his 2016 win over Hillary Clinton? – of him making the American media wrong again.

For all the beatings Mr. Trump has laid on the Washington establishment, few can match the thrashing he has given the traditional media complex.

Jussie Smollett Hate Crime Hoax Conviction Overturned by Illinois Supreme Court

The Illinois Supreme Court overturned disgraced Empire actor Jussie Smollett’s hate crime hoax on Thursday, ruling that he cannot be tried again.

Jaguar teases ‘polarising’ new electric car amid rebrand backlash

Jaguar Air Conditioner

Jaguar has offered a glimpse of its “polarising” new electric car after attracting ridicule for its controversial rebrand.

The British carmaker has published a partial photo of the new model, which will be unveiled at Miami Art Week next month.

This looks to mirror the Bud Light fiasco, silly bubble women far removed from real life promoted above their skill set.

One wag commented – Nobody wants a car with Tranny issues.

Geoff Russ: To defeat wokeism, Poilievre must prepare for a long war of attrition

Pierre Poilievre stepped into the culture war on Sunday with a video decrying the assaults on Canada’s national culture that have erupted during Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. Some of these are the direct fault of that government, such as the new passports that demean and cheapen Canadian heritage.

Islamophobia: Muslims Kill 38 Of The Muslims They Don’t Like In Pakistan

At least 38 killed as gunmen open fire on vehicles carrying Shiites in northwest Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Gunmen opened fire on vehicles carrying Shiite Muslims in Pakistan’s restive northwest on Thursday, killing at least 38 people, including six women, and wounding 20 others in one of the region’s deadliest such attacks in recent years, police said.

The attack happened in Kurram, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province where sectarian clashes between majority Sunni Muslims and minority Shiites have killed dozens of people in recent months.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the latest attack. It came a week after authorities reopened a key highway in the region that had been closed for weeks following deadly clashes.

Russia ‘fires first ICBM at Ukraine’ after Kyiv uses UK missiles

Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine for the first time, Kyiv said on Thursday as Moscow warned that an American missile defence base in Poland was on its list of targets for “potential destruction”.

The Ukrainian air force said that a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) had been used as part of an attack on critical infrastructure in Dnipro, a city in central Ukraine. It was not immediately clear what damage was caused and the claim has yet to be independently verified. Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, declined to comment.

But … US official disputes Ukraine’s missile claim
