Intersectionality of hate

Muslims openly call today for a pan-Islamic embrace of shari’a and the return to the dhimma and the jizya. This plan excludes Blacks, LGBT, Christians and of course, Jews.

Boy, have we done a great job educating the last few generations. DEI, CRT, woke progressivism.

Now we have Queers for Palestine. It takes a certain kinda stupidity to be Queer for Palestine.

‘The World Needs Bad Men:’ The Good Thing About Dangerous Men Like Donald Trump

Over the years, my tastes have become increasingly more narrow and singular so that what was once a host of “favorites” has dwindled to a core two or maybe three. My all-time favorite television show is the first season of True Detective — it’s the only thing that I can watch over and over again from start to finish. I find it to be a beautiful celebration of a fading America, particularly the nation’s southern heritage, and a well of insights into the human psyche and soul, the triumph of good over evil, and the necessity of absolute morality in a progressively relativistic and nihilistic world.

Is camping in public parks and on streets a constitutionally protected right?

Can we – legally, morally, ethically – punish people who are involuntarily homeless?

Or does the state, the collectivity, have an obligation to ensure shelter is available before chasing away, fining and jailing people for sleeping in parks, on sidewalks and in other public spaces?

As homelessness becomes more commonplace and more visible, especially in big cities, that is one of the big questions society must answer.

Adopt Deterrence: US Waning Support for Ukraine, Israel and the Philippines Is a Threat to the Free World

Whether US President Joe Biden remains in office or not, his recent debate with former President Donald J. Trump and has exposed the global catastrophe that US policies under the current administration have wrought.

The US neglect of vital security issues, from waning support for Ukraine and Israel, to its refusal to acknowledge the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear programme, is inflicting serious damage to America’s status as a global superpower.

PCO says it didn’t search anti-semitic new human rights chief’s online aliases, blames ‘administrative oversight’

The Privy Council Office (PCO) says it did not search the aliases Birju Dattani, the new head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, used to make controversial social media posts.

A spokesperson for the PCO said in a statement to CBC News on Monday that “an administrative oversight resulted in the aliases not being searched by PCO.”

In June, Dattani was named the CHRC’s chief commissioner, making him the first Muslim or racialized person to head the organization.

Entirely possible they didn’t search because that would have been “racist”.

Michael Higgins: Does Trudeau plan to put the squeeze on older homeowners?

A month after Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland did her best to talk up a class war, her boss now appears intent on using the housing crisis to pit young Canadians against the old.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says older Canadians who “scrimped and saved” to own homes don’t understand the hardships of a younger generation who can’t get a foot on the housing ladder.

This NATO summit could save or sink Biden’s candidacy

It is a week of reckoning for Joe Biden.

Twelve days after a halting debate performance that may go down as one of the most damaging in modern American history, the president is fighting for his political survival under intense domestic and global scrutiny.

This week’s Nato summit in Washington DC may be his path to at least a temporary reprieve – or this president’s last stand.

How decriminalisation made Vancouver the fentanyl capital of the world

The city is gripped in an opioid crisis worse than America’s. Locals say overly liberal drug laws have sparked a catastrophe

“Hailey, are you okay? You have to communicate with me,” says Larry.

“Yes, I feel fine,” she replies.

“Okay, hold still.”

Eyes wide and hands trembling, Larry, 32, flicks the syringe’s needle before crouching over his friend and injecting a mixture of fentanyl and benzodiazepines into a prominent vein in her neck.

Car theft and drugs just two of the categories putting Canada on the world stage.

‘Not Allowed Off The Hook’: Purdue Creditors Ask Court To Sue Sackler Family Members

Nearly two weeks after the US Supreme Court tossed out a $6 billion bankruptcy settlement agreed upon by the Sackler family to address claims that the OxyContin manufacturer fueled America’s opioid crisis, the court-appointed committee of Purdue creditors on Monday asked a US bankruptcy court if they could sue individual Sackler family members. The creditors allege that the Sacklers illegally transferred billions of dollars to offshore private trusts before Purdue’s 2019 bankruptcy filing.

I do not understand how the entire Sackler family walks free.

The philosophy — and politics — behind the Liberal government’s desire to keep Canada a NATO deadbeat

There was an unscripted moment during a panel debate in Toronto last month that could go a long way toward explaining Canada’s long-term reluctance to publicly and wholeheartedly embrace NATO’s guideline for members’ defence spending.

Appearing on a panel at the Eurasia’s group’s U.S.-Canada Summit, the typically unflappable Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly was asked pointedly how Ottawa could be considered a reliable ally when it appears unable — or unwilling — to meet the western military alliance’s benchmark of spending at least two per cent of GDP on defence.

Big tranny army.
