Wireless Festival bans clothes ‘promoting cultural appropriation’

Clothing that promotes “cultural appropriation” has been banned by a leading music festival.

Wireless Festival organisers have banned dozens of items from this year’s three-day event in Finsbury Park, London, which begins on Friday. They include “clothing/garments/items which promote cultural appropriation”.

The information on Wireless’s website does not specify which items of clothing fall under the ban – raising questions over whether the prohibition extends to sombreros or keffiyeh scarves, a symbol of the Palestinian cause.

Some folks are going to be without pants.

PMO eyes Carney as next finance minister as tension rises with Freeland, sources say

Senior officials in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office are concerned that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has not been effective in delivering an upbeat economic message as the Liberal government struggles to reconnect with Canadians amid low approval ratings, sources say.

The relationship between Ms. Freeland, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister’s Office has become tense. She has been the most powerful minister in the government since Mr. Trudeau promoted her to the finance portfolio in August, 2020, after the resignation of Bill Morneau.

I’m no fan of Freeland but it’s delusional to believe a positive message could be crafted around any facet of LPC economic policy.

Rust trial prosecutors say Alec Baldwin violated ‘cardinal rules of firearm safety’

Almost three years after the fatal shooting on the movie set of Rust, prosecutors began to lay out their case against Alec Baldwin in a packed Santa Fe courtroom, painting a picture of an unsafe workplace on a tight budget with a lead actor who violated the “cardinal rules of firearm safety”.

Proceedings in the actor’s involuntary manslaughter trial kicked off on Wednesday with the prosecution and defense offering their opening statements. The courtroom was filled to capacity with dozens of media as well as Baldwin’s wife and brother, who sat just behind the actor.

BROWN: As ‘Fortress Toronto’ crumbles, so too will the Trudeau Liberals

How do the Liberals loathe thee? Let us count the ways.

At record lows in the polls, with 75% of the country in open polling revolt against a country needlessly and relentlessly broken, the Liberals and the soon-to-be-vanquished deputy PM attacked the overwhelming majority of Canadians as being supportive of policies that are “cold, cruel, and small.”

Italy Proposes €1,000 Monthly Aid for Mothers Who Turn Down Abortion

The Italian government could give 1,000 euros a month to economically disadvantaged women who choose not to have an abortion.

A bill, which is due to be tabled in the coming days, would award the monthly payments for five years to women who would have terminated their pregnancies due to financial hardship. Women who are on low household incomes and who are Italian citizens residing in Italy will qualify for the measures, Corriere della Sera reports.

Major Battleground States Swing toward Trump as the Cost of Biden’s Disastrous Debate Comes into Focus

As President Joe Biden digs in his heels at the top of the Democratic ticket, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report shifted six swing states toward former president Donald Trump, with three — Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada — moving from “Toss Up” to “Lean Republican.”

The most important swing states in the race — Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — remain in the “Toss Up” category. But three other states have moved toward Trump, going from “Likely Democratic” to “Lean Democratic” — Minnesota, New Hampshire, and one of Nebraska’s three electoral votes.

EV Boosters Cannot Do Math

“… For a city with 120,000 homes, which today may require about 2,000 transformers, the addition of 120,000 home-charged electric vehicles means adding 1,000 transformers, about $8 million. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, because distributing 50 to 100% more household electricity requires generating 50 to 100% more electricity.

All this costs money that most Americans today do not have, especially at the generation end. Especially with the push to eliminate electric generation from coal and natural gas and even nuclear energy. It also requires massive construction of electric infrastructure, from transmission lines to transformers to in-home charging stations accompanied by larger electric fuse boxes.”

Kamala Harris doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong

Is attacking synagogues, calling for the genocide of Jews, and calling for the destruction of the United States of America the sign of a person who has their priorities straight? US Vice President Kamala Harris seems to think so.

In an interview with The Nation that was published on Monday, Harris had words of praise for the protest movement that has created a historic outbreak of antisemitism throughout the country since October 7.

According to Harris, the protesters “are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza.”

Leftists emulating Nazis

These are days of desperation for the Democrat party, headed for a well deserved defeat because the people have roundly rejected their socialist national agenda. Shown to be consummate and professional liars, few people believe a word they say, knowing they couldn’t tell the truth to save their lives. Like a trapped wild animal that will lash out in any direction, they are truly desperate, willing to do anything to cling to the governmental power they think is their birthright.
