My remarks over a ‘dog in a frock’ plunged me into a Kafkaesque nightmare

Lesbian social worker Elizabeth Pitt was reported by council colleagues for ‘gender-critical views’ – kickstarting a 10-month legal battle

It started with a dachshund in a dress, and ended with a legal case that has cost taxpayers thousands. Elizabeth Pitt, 63, a social worker, has won her 10-month legal battle against Cambridgeshire County Council for harassment and direct discrimination, after she was investigated for being transphobic.

“The whole thing has been a Kafkaesque nightmare,” she says. “I didn’t want to complain about anything, I just wanted to get on with my job. These people accusing me of transphobia thought they needed sympathy and empathy but in fact it was my rights which were being impinged. This all comes down to basic common sense.”

Muslim Migrants and the Seething in Europe

Why Europeans are turning rightward.

In Great Britain, tens of thousands of people came out this summer to protest against Muslim criminals, and to bewail the failure of their government both to halt Muslim migration and to enforce its own deportation decisions. In France, the government is without a prime minister, as President Macron struggles to avoid confronting the matter that most exercises the French — Muslim migrants, the expense they cost the French taxpayers, the crimes they commit, the general sense of disorder and insecurity they create in the land. In Germany, the anti-Muslim immigrant party, Alternative für Deutschland, has become the winner in the recent election in Thuringia, and the runner-up in Saxony, results that have sent the other parties into a panic, as AfD’s inexorable rise, despite the national media’s attempts to blacken its image as a “most far-right party since the Nazis,” continues.

Kamala Harris is a neocon in disguise

Her progressive pedigree makes her all the more dangerous

Kamala Harris may have succeeded in convincing America that she’s a hip, “joyful” alternative to Sleepy Joe, but those outside the US shouldn’t be fooled. When it comes to foreign policy, all the signs suggest that Harris will follow the path set down by her former boss: one grounded in aggressively countering any challenges to America’s waning hegemony, by any means necessary.

But what, one might ask, about Harris the Progressive? For months, the American Right has gleefully painted the Democrat as a “woke” warrioress, a liberal campaigner who cares more about “kindness” than keeping America safe. Yet the truth couldn’t be more different. In fact, on the global stage, Harris’s progressive pedigree is precisely what makes her so dangerous.

This wasn’t a war crime – it was an audacious assault on anti-Semites

The left’s crazy wailing over the exploding Hezbollah pagers shows that Israel can’t do right for doing wrong.

Getting your balls blown off by a primed pager has got to be the most ‘f**k around, find out’ thing that has ever happened. It took place in Lebanon yesterday. To the approval of both supporters of Israel and meme-makers everywhere, thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah operatives suddenly exploded. The footage coming out of Lebanon is extraordinary. A man’s trouser pocket erupting in a supermarket, a man writhing in agony in the middle of the road after his trusted comms device turned on him. The battle of the pagers will surely be recorded as one of the most unusual and audacious acts in the entire history of human warfare.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs vows he won’t have women at his house as he begs judge to release him to home detention

Sean “Diddy” Combs vowed he won’t have women visit his Florida mansion Wednesday as his defense attorneys beg a judge to release him to home detention until he faces trial on sex-trafficking and racketeering charges.

The 54-year-old rapper was set to appear for a second day in a row in Manhattan federal court at 3:30 p.m. — for a hearing where he’ll request to be sprung from the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center on a $50 million bond.

His attorneys argue that electronic monitoring and a slew of other conditions should assure the trial judge and prosecutors that Combs won’t go on the lam or harm others while he awaits trial.

What We’re Learning About Diddy Could ‘Bring the Whole Music Industry Down

You can see why people believe Pizza-Gate.

Germany: Railway Conductors Advised To Only Check Tickets of ‘Nationals’

Railway staff in Thuringia have been told that ticket inspection is now discretionary—with discriminatory consequences. Specifically, train conductors can opt out of checking the credentials of passengers who appear to be foreign, due to the threat of assault.

While female conductors and train attendants tend to suffer disproportionately from such attacks, the problem is widespread across the rail service.

A Halifax woman has spent years fighting for out-of-province care. Now she’s ready to end her life

As Jennifer Brady climbs into inflatable pants that cover from her toes to her chest, she positions her water bottle on the table beside her and starts pushing buttons on a machine.

The device, called a Lympha Press, is designed to move the fluid in her legs. She spends at least five hours a day tied to the machine, unable to do anything else — including caring for her two children, ages nine and 13. She also wears compression garments 24 hours a day.

The Liberals would do better if they replace their dead man walking

There’s a widespread view that it wouldn’t be beneficial for the Liberals to change leaders at this time; that a new leader would do just as badly, if not worse, in an election than Justin Trudeau; that Liberal Party members are therefore not acting like cowards in not forcing him out.

Look at the precedents, contend those who subscribe to this line of thinking. John Turner succeeded the highly unpopular Pierre Trudeau in 1984 shortly before an election had to be called, and a debacle ensued; the Liberals were reduced to 40 seats. Kim Campbell became Conservative leader in 1993 replacing the much-loathed Brian Mulroney at the end of his second mandate, and an even worse shellacking followed: the Tories were obliterated, winning only two ridings.

Sean Speer: With the Liberals reduced to a regional rump party, is Canada’s long Laurentian reign finally over?

Old political narratives die hard. It often requires ample time in the face of conflicting facts for them to gradually become undone.

One of Canada’s oldest political narratives is that the Liberal Party is the “government party” or the “natural governing party.” According to this long-standing axiom, it’s the only political party capable of commanding broad-based support across different groups and regions.

Springfield, Ohio Is About More Than Cats and Dogs

WASHINGTON — There were no questions during Thursday’s White House media briefing about what the Biden–Harris administration is doing about the beleaguered city of Springfield, Ohio. No reporter asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre whether President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris plan to visit the town that has come to represent what happens when a Midwest manufacturing city of 58,000 absorbs the arrival of some 20,000 migrants.

Imagine a one-third bump in your town’s population over four years. That’s a story.
