FEMA Doesn’t Care About Helping Americans After A Disaster, It Cares About ‘Disaster Equity’

What’s the point of a federal disaster agency if the chief priorities of said agency are not to save Americans from disaster?

In September last year, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell joined the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to sign the “Agreement to Advance Equity in Disaster Resilience.”

According to an NAACP press release, the group’s “Emergency Management Task Force … will meet regularly with FEMA leadership to advance progress on equity within disaster preparedness and resilience.”

New Report Shows Rising Levels of Anti-Semitism on UK Campuses

Jewish students are withdrawing from all aspects of university life, including lecture theatres, online learning spaces, seminar rooms, and social activities in the face of growing antisemitism on British university campuses amidst the Hamas-Israel conflict.

In the first report of its kind since it was established earlier this year, a poll by the Intra-Communal Professorial Group (ICPG) found that more than half of respondents reported being fearful of being on campus. Three-quarters were also uncomfortable to be open about their identity, with some feeling intimidated into not attending Jewish events, and not wearing things that could identify them as Jewish on campus. 


I don’t think Canada is too far behind the UK.

New allegations emerge that Doug Emhoff was a male chauvinist pig in the office

One of the things that struck me forcibly when I discovered the internet and began reading both leftist and conservative content is that while leftists pay lip service to feminism, many of the most ardent leftist men neither like nor respect women. Now, it appears that Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, is the living embodiment of that fundamental dislike for women.

Wikipedia labels Muslim grooming gang scandal ‘moral panic’

The title of the Wikipedia article about Muslim grooming gangs in Britain has this week been changed to include the phrase “moral panic”. Previously titled “Muslim grooming gangs in the United Kingdom”, the name was altered on 7 October to “Grooming gang moral panic in the United Kingdom”.

Every Wikipedia article has a “Talk” function which allows users to request and debate edits. The change was confirmed by a user named “Sceptre”, who wrote: “There is a consensus that, if the article is to be kept (and for the meanwhile, it is to be kept), that ‘moral panic’ should be included in the article title to reflect how the subject is dealt with in reliable sources.”

Elon Musk names the rich Dems ‘who are terrified’ of Epstein and Diddy files becoming public

Elon Musk has claimed billionaires like Bill Gates are afraid of a Donald Trump win because it would lead to the release of the names of associates of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jeffrey Epstein.

The Tesla CEO, 50, made the unfounded claim in an interview with Tucker Carlson on the Musk-owned social media app X.

‘I think part of why Kamala’s getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that Epstein client list is gonna become public,’ Musk said.

That would be great.

Canada Is Poor

Ten years ago, commentators were telling Americans their northern neighbor was a middle-class success story. Now, every province has lower median earnings than every state.

Last month I wrote a post about a comparison of GDP per capita between U.S. states and Canadian provinces. It found that Ontario would be the fifth-poorest U.S. state, Quebec would be second-poorest, and Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, or Prince Edward Island would each be the poorest U.S. state, as measured by economic output per person.

A year later, Canada’s Jews are not the same

Like most Jews, I’m not the same person I was last Oct. 6. The magnitude of what happened the next day and since then has forever changed me and the reality for Jews in Canada and abroad.

A year ago, the darkest chapter in Jewish history since the Holocaust began with the invasion of southern Israel by Hamas terrorists who carried out wide-scale atrocities and kidnapped 251 children, women and men. That hit close to home for Jews everywhere including many who have family and friends in Israel.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Mélanie Joly is the one gaslighting Canadians about antisemitism

“Antisemitic mobs take to the street shouting, ‘From Palestine to Lebanon, Israel will soon be gone.’ … Will the government clearly and unequivocally condemn these genocidal chants from hateful mobs on our streets?”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre asked this question of Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly in the House of Commons on Oct. 7, the first anniversary of the most heinous attack on Jews since the Holocaust. On that day, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, raped and murdered around 1,200 people and kidnapped over 250. Ever since, they have been busy spreading antisemitism, including on the streets of Canada.

How Howard Stern went from obscene shock jock to Kamala Harris’s ‘woke’ lapdog

After the Columbine shootings and the murder of 12 Colorado high school students and a teacher in April 1999, popular radio presenter Howard Stern went on the airwaves chasing chuckles. “Did those kids try to have sex with any of those good-looking girls? They didn’t even do that?” wondered America’s most popular DJ of the shooters. “At least if you’re going to kill yourself and kill the kids, why wouldn’t you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I’d take them out with sex.”

Poilievre calls on feds to label Samidoun a terrorist group

Pierre Poilievre has called on the federal government to label Samidoun a terrorist group.

His announcement came following a night of anti-Israel protests across Canada on the one year anniversary of the October 7 attack, including in Vancouver, where the Western Standard caught attendees openly saying “we are Hamas” and burning Canadian flags.

WARMINGTON: Mayor Olivia Chow’s snubbing of Oct. 7 ceremony called ‘outrageous’

Missing the Oct. 7 commemoration is beyond the pale of normal political behaviour or basic human decency and can’t be glossed over. For a mayor to not attend Toronto’s candlelight vigil to remember the 1,200 people slaughtered at the hands of Hamas one year ago on Oct. 7 is the final straw when it comes to Chow’s disrespect for Toronto’s Jewish community.

Those who love death vs. those who don’t love life enough to fight

Do we love our Western way of life enough to defend it from those who love death?

In 633 CE, a year after Muhammad’s death, the commander of the new Muslim armies wrote a letter to the Persian emperor, Yazdegerd III, the last king of the great Sassanid dynasty.

“Submit,” Khalid ibn al-Walid declared, “or you will be conquered by men who love death as you love life.”

To the emperor, the general must have seemed like a madman. How could the Persian Empire, standing for more than 400 years, be threatened by those who love death?

“We love death more than you love life”.
