French President Emmanuel Macron, 47, fires back for first time at claims wife, 70, was born a man

French President Emmanuel Macron has angrily hit back at longstanding conspiracy theories that his 70-year-old wife Brigitte was born a man and is transgender, calling them “false and fabricated.”

Macron, 47, was unusually candid and emotional about the ongoing speculation in certain right-wing circles about Brigitte Macron, whom he married in 2007.

“The worst thing is the false information and fabricated scenarios,” Macron said at an International Women’s Day event in Paris Friday after he guaranteed the right to abortion in France’s Constitution.

Vancouver Councillors Approve Psychedelics Store Amid Police Investigation

A Vancouver store that previously lost its license for selling psychedelics has had its license restored, despite an ongoing police investigation into the business.

Medicinal Mushroom Dispensary had its license re-instated by two Green Party councillors during a special meeting held on March 5.

The shop’s business license was suspended in May 2023 for “gross misconduct” for selling illegal substances. However, the stores continued to operate and were the target of a police raid in November 2023.

France’s appetite for frogs’ legs is endangering species in Asia, say campaigners

France’s hunger for frogs’ legs is “destructive to nature” and endangering amphibians in Asia and south-east Europe, a group of scientists and vets have warned.

More than 500 experts from research, veterinary and conservation groups have called on Emmanuel Macron, the French president, to “end the overexploitation of frogs” and afford the most traded species better protections.

‘In a way, stigma is the leading cause of death’: the radical plan to tackle British Columbia’s overdose epidemic

When Traci Letts finally found the perfect shoes for her son Mike – a pair of white Nike trainers with a splash of green – the store didn’t have the right size. So she went to another.

“They had to be just right,” she said. “He always wanted to dress well.” The high-top shoes completed an outfit Letts had carefully selected: a grey tracksuit with a white T-shirt; they would be the final set of clothes he would wear. “I knew he’d want to be sent off that way.”

‘This is a red alert’: Byelection result has Trudeau Liberals looking nervously toward the next campaign

OTTAWA — The terrible showing by the federal Liberals in the Durham byelection won by the Conservatives demonstrates how much work lies ahead for the Trudeau-led party to motivate its flagging base, if it even can.

Byelections are often sloughed off as no reflection of anything other than voter disinterest in byelections. Unless a political party manages a surprise win.

Still, the loss in Durham stung not because the Liberals expected to win. They didn’t.

Biden’s Pier in Gaza Portends Disaster

President Biden, during his State of the Union address, announced an effort to create an aid corridor to Gaza that will include a U.S.–constructed pier for shipments of food and other supplies to reach Palestinians. This “temporary” construction would be a significant expansion of the Biden administration’s aid measures and no longer done at arm’s length, whatever promises of “no American boots on the ground” the president might make. As with all else, there are only tradeoffs. In this case, it’s almost all bad. The president’s design will create a locus of aid transfer that endangers American servicemen while failing to ensure the aid cannot be appropriated by Hamas.

Need More Proof Biden Was Drugged for the State of the Union? Here It Is.

A great deal hinged on Joe Biden’s performance during Thursday evening’s State of the Union address. The White House knew more than anything that Biden had to dispel concerns regarding his age and cognitive decline. Naturally, the mainstream media did its part to help shore up this narrative affirming Biden’s presidential competence. They wound up choosing the same entry from the thesaurus to characterize his delivery: “fiery.”

Veruca Salt, so-called ‘white privilege,’ and incrementalism

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory was panned when it was released in 1971 but has since become a much-loved classic. One of the best moments in the movie, of course, is when the abysmally spoiled, demanding Veruca Salt sings her anthem, “I Want It Now!” only to be destroyed by her impatient greed. Back then, audiences nodded approvingly. Today, if Salt were portrayed as a black activist, she’d be wildly applauded for putting her boot on the neck of white privilege. However, if you look back on America a century or more ago, most whites had no privilege and lived horrific lives. It was the patience of generations that raised them up.

Jordan Peterson: even the Left isn’t safe from surveillance

The psychologist and author Jordan Peterson warned that “no one will escape the purview” of government surveillance as new technology emerges, making a statement to a Congressional committee yesterday.

Peterson expanded by saying that while the US government is currently targeting people with “more conservative leanings”, it would change “in a moment when the political tides shift”, in a warning to those on the Left.

The myth of America’s decline

As China struggles and the EU stagnates, the US continues to thrive – even despite its dreadful leaders.

North America may suffer from some of the world’s poorest political leadership. Yet it seems destined to remain the wealthiest, most dominant place on Earth.

This may come as a surprise to many. After all, generations of pundits have insisted that the future will be forged elsewhere – Europe for some, Japan for others and, more recently, China. But none have the resources, the dynamic population and innovative acumen of North Americans.

Pentagon’s UFO agency report shows analytic bias

The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office reflects the Pentagon’s love for acronyms. AARO also leads the government’s research of “unidentified flying objects” or what the government calls “unidentified aerial phenomena.” On Friday, AARO released a report documenting its study of UFO-related reports since 1945.

The report has real problems.

The report is being panned and deservedly so.

A Tall Order for Philadelphia

Cherelle Parker has vowed to shut down the city’s open-air drug markets, but the task may be beyond any one mayor’s reach.

Prior to being elected Philadelphia’s 100th mayor—the first woman in the post—Cherelle Parker pledged to make Philadelphia the “safest, cleanest, greenest city in America.” Her election was a rebuke to the city’s left-wing Democrats, who had hoped to capture City Hall and remake it in the image of Seattle, San Francisco, or Portland. The Left’s favored mayoral candidate, Helen Gym, had the support of woke millennial elites and the Working Families Party, as well as endorsements from national left-wing figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Gym’s well-funded campaign overshadowed Parker’s, but in the end Parker, a native Philadelphian, triumphed over Gym, a Columbus, Ohio, native who had moved to the city to attend the University of Pennsylvania.

The rise of Romana Didulo, self described ‘Queen of Canada’, and what she’s up to now

To Romana Didulo’s followers, the Queen of Canada doesn’t live in a British palace – she’s in the rural village of Richmound, Sask.

Surrounded by farmland about 450 kilometres west of Regina near the Alberta border, Richmound has a population of just over 100. Since September 2023, it has also been home to Didulo and a group of her followers, leading to protests and heated confrontations with locals.
