Woke VA official who pushed to remove WWII kiss photo ‘mismanaged’ St. Louis hospital where vets were reportedly exposed to HIV

Should be horse whipped

She’s the kiss of death for hospitals.

The woke Veterans Affairs official who ordered hospitals take down the iconic Times Square V-J-Day kissing photo previously mismanaged a Missouri hospital so badly, she was condemned by both Democrats and Republicans alike.

Smooch-bashing VA bigwig RimaAnn Nelson headed the department’s St. Louis hospital for more than three years, during which time the facility was rated worst in the country — with patients allegedly left in their feces for days, and more than 1,800 of our nation’s heroes being exposed to HIV and hepatitis from unsterilized dental equipment, reports said.

Royal Canadian Navy’s new Arctic ships have a severe flooding problem, say sailors

RCN Arctic Patrol Ships Leak A Little Bit

Problems with the Canadian navy’s new patrol ships have led to significant flooding causing excessive corrosion while other defects have resulted in mechanical failures involving anchors, sailors have revealed.

The flooding is centered around the area where the anchor cable comes into an enclosed deck on the Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships or AOPS.

That problem resulted in an incident on board HMCS Harry DeWolf that saw severe flooding and the creation of a “salty sauna” environment that led to excessive corrosion, the Royal Canadian Navy sailors noted.

Pro-Palestine Protesters Breach Dutch Parliament

A debate in the Dutch Parliament in The Hague was disrupted on Tuesday by rowdy pro-Palestinian activists protesting the Israeli Defense Force’s actions in the Gaza strip.

Shortly after the activists were promptly escorted out, some 25 fellow protesters initiated a sit-in at the parliament’s visitor’s hall. They chanted slogans, including “Free Palestine,” “Ceasefire now,” and “shame on [outgoing Prime Minister Mark] Rutte, blood on your hands.” Most disturbingly, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” was chanted—which calls for the eradication of the Jews and the abolition of Israel as a nation.

Are Canadians swapping alcohol for weed? What new data shows

Canadians are cutting back on alcohol purchases, a new report from Statistics Canada suggests, as sales data shows a boost in another substance’s sales.

Recreational cannabis sales by provincial authorities increased by 15.8 per cent year-over-year. Canadians spent a total of $4.7 billion in the 2022 to 2023 fiscal year, according to Statistics Canada, which is a $0.6 billion jump from the previous year.

Booze is getting too expensive.

Why Ottawa’s ‘Economic Plan’ to Excel in EV Industry May ‘Flop’: Economist

Economist Jack Mintz says it will be hard for Canada to become a leader in critical minerals and to make EV battery production profitable, despite Ottawa’s hopes.

“Our economic plan is turning Canada into a critical minerals superpower. From EV battery plants to net-zero mining, we are responsibly unlocking Canada’s natural resources to create more good jobs and prosperity today and for the next generation,” Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said in a March 5 post on X.

57,000 Reasons – and Counting Every Day – Why You Need an AR-15

I don’t want to sound like an alarmist but that part of the oath our military, police, and politicians take that mentions “enemies foreign and domestic” might be more than just a phrase.

When Gropey Joe Biden isn’t fighting to keep the borders open or flying 320,000 illegal immigrants to our airports at all hours of the night, he is doing his dementia-best to disarm We the People, especially of those big, scary AR-15 rifles.

Why the US is Losing the War to the Houthis

After President Joe Biden came home from his Caribbean vacation, the Deputy Defense Secretary came back from hers and the Secretary of Defense was on the verge of being released from the hospital, airstrikes were finally authorized against the Houthi Jihadis attacking ships in the Red Sea.

Biden said that the air strikes sent “a clear message that the United States and our partners will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or allow hostile actors to imperil freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most critical commercial routes.”

Make Britain Victorian again

King Charles won’t drag us out of the doldrums

In 1946, lorries and diggers rumbled into the grounds of Wentworth Woodhouse, then one of England’s grandest mansions. Its manicured lawns, gardens, and parkland stood on a coal seam that neared the surface, and the Labour Party’s Minister for Fuel and Power, Manny Shinwell, wanted to mine it. His aim was to address a national fuel crisis — and also, as historian Catherine Bailey shows, to strike a blow against the hereditary privilege Shinwell believed the mansion’s owner, the Earl Fitzwilliam, to represent.
