If the MAGA movement really were driven by “anti-intellectualism” as Katie Couric asserts, then what in the world does that say about the people who promote Slow Joe Biden to the top tier of non-MAGA, or Democrat leadership?

Biden Refuses to Testify Before Congress About Chinese Business Dealings
If you’re a Trump administration official and you refuse to appear in front of a partisan witchhunt committee, you can go to prison, but if you’re Joe Biden and you turn down an invite, well then you’ve somehow erased its existence.
At least that’s the theory that the media is going with in heralding Biden’s refusal to testify before the House Oversight Committee as the “end of the investigation”.
E.T. call NDHQ? Canadian Forces losing interest in UFOs
After an initial meeting on sharing information with allies on unidentified flying objects, the Canadian military has cooled on its interest in the extraterrestrial file.
The Canadian Forces do not have any plans for additional meetings with allies at this point and will not be working with the federal government’s science advisor on the phenomena, National Defence confirmed to this newspaper.
I bet Ottawa wasn’t invited given it was a 5 Eyes event.
This is interesting …

We Will Not Go Meekly
Is political speech free in the capital of Europe? Incredibly, given the antics of the Brussels mayor and other officials over the past few days, the answer seems to be no. Pay attention: the scandalous events of the last week have massive symbolic weight for the future of Europe.
Yoram Hazony has been hosting National Conservatism (NatCon) conferences on two continents for the past few years. On Monday, the day before the April 16 kickoff of this week’s event in Brussels, the Israeli-American scholar, who runs the Edmund Burke Foundation which is sponsoring the conference, should have been busy putting the final touches on the gathering.

Trudeau’s utterly daunting promise to immediately build an Alberta’s worth of new homes
As part of a routine rollout of pre-budget announcements, last week the Trudeau government casually announced that it was going to solve the housing crisis.
In a Friday press release headlined simply “Canada’s Housing Plan,” the Prime Minister’s Office laid out a plan to “unlock 3.87 million new homes by 2031.”
“Canada can and will solve the housing crisis,” read an attached quote by Housing Minister Sean Fraser.
Vote Whoring: Trudeau government to begin exploring ‘halal mortgages’
The federal government says it plans to explore new measures to expand access to “alternative financing products, like halal mortgages.”
According to the federal budget, the Liberal government has already begun consultations with financial services providers and diverse communities “to understand how federal policies can better support the needs of all Canadians seeking to become homeowners.”
The Islamic faith considers the charging of interest to be a form of usury, and considers gains made through interest to be unjust.

‘YOU CAN’T SEE IT:’ Michael Moore warns Joe Biden his support for Israel will cost him presidency
Activist-filmmaker Michael Moore warned that President Joe Biden’s support of Israel in the country’s war with Hamas is costing him voters.
Speaking on his podcast Rumble with Michael Moore, he insisted that Biden would lose to Donald Trump — like Hillary Clinton did in 2016 — because voters will choose to stay home rather than cast ballots.
Jamie Sarkonak: Governor General’s online harm symposium was unbefitting of her office
Governor General Mary Simon understands that with holding high office comes power. What she doesn’t understand is that this power is not to be used for political ends — for promoting contentious Liberal bills that are trying to be passed in Parliament, for example.

WTF?
This mom explains how she indoctrinated her daughter with far-left propaganda so she could recognize how "white supremacy shows up in entertainment" and work towards "equity and social justice."

‘Details and arrests’ surrounding $22-million gold heist at Pearson airport revealed Wednesday
Police will announce Wednesday morning that arrests have been made in connection with a massive $22-million gold heist at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The improbable caper happened exactly one year ago Wednesday — on April 17, 2023 — and involved the theft of a “high-value container” from a holding cargo facility after it was taken off an Air Canada plane.
WTF?

There Will Be No George Floyd 2.0
On March 21, a 26-year-old black man named Dexter Reed was pulled over for a seatbelt violation by four plainclothes Chicago police officers. When Reed refused to comply with orders to roll down his window, the officers surrounded the vehicle and instructed Reed to unlock the doors; in response, Reed pulled out a gun and began shooting, hitting one officer in the forearm. The police returned fire, and Reed was killed. The entire interaction was captured on police body cameras, the footage from which was released to the public last week. The Chicago Office of Police Accountability, a law-enforcement civilian oversight board, confirmed after a review of the footage that Reed “fired first,” and that a handgun was recovered from the front passenger seat of his car.
Revealed: how companies made $100m clearing California homeless camps
On an October morning, a small army arrived to evict Rudy Ortega from his home in the Crash Zone, an encampment located near the end of the airport runway in San Jose, California, Silicon Valley’s largest city. As jets roared overhead, garbage trucks and police squad cars encircled Ortega’s hand-built shelter. Heavy machinery operators stood by for the signal to bulldoze Ortega’s camp.
As the workers closed in, Ortega grew increasingly upset.
But there’s no “Homeless Industrial Complex”.
Critics attack long timelines in defence plan as military awaits a budget boost
There will be money set aside in today’s federal budget for the Department of National Defence (DND) — much of it linked to the implementation of the new defence policy released with great fanfare last week by the Liberal government after more than two years of study.
It remains to be seen how quickly the funding will be rolled out, whether it will be affected by internal budget cuts and whether it can meet the needs of the military and placate Canada’s anxious allies.
Skeptical Conservative MPs ripped into the defence plan Monday and demanded action over words.
Christians Prefer Living in Israel, Not the Palestinian Authority
On the same day that US television personality Tucker Carlson interviewed a pastor from Bethlehem who falsely accused Israel of mistreating Christians, Israel’s University of Haifa announced the appointment of Professor Mona Maron as Rector. A Maronite Christian from the village of Isfiya, near Haifa, Maron has been a trailblazer for the integration and advancement of women in the sciences, particularly within the Arab community. She was the first Arab woman from her village to earn a doctoral degree and Israel’s first Arab professor of neuroscience.
