Jewish B.C. cyclist disinvited from International Women’s Day event because of IDF service
A former professional cyclist has been disinvited as the keynote speaker at an International Women’s Day event in Peterborough, Ont., because she served in the Israeli military three decades ago.
“I was hurt. I was angry. But most of all I was heartbroken,” Leah Goldstein, 55, wrote on her website.
Sacrilege in the Cathedral: How St. Patrick’s Was Set Up
For humanists, the purpose of a funeral is to memorialize life. For Catholics, the point is to pray for the deceased’s soul — and at the subsequent reception, to reminisce. For some transgender activists, the point is apparently to create a political spectacle to embarrass your enemies.
On February 15, St. Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral in New York hosted the funeral of Cecilia Gentili, a transgender activist and prostitute from Argentina.
Government-Backed Censors Who Rigged The 2020 Election Are Now Stealing 2024
If you didn’t see Tucker Carlson’s interview last week with Mike Benz, you need to take an hour and watch the whole thing. In a mind-bending narrative about the emergence of what Benz calls “military rule” through an online censorship industry in the U.S., he lays out in startling detail just how corrupt and tyrannical the U.S. defense and foreign policy establishment has become.
Ep. 75 The national security state is the main driver of censorship and election interference in the United States. "What I’m describing is military rule," says Mike Benz. "It’s the inversion of democracy." pic.twitter.com/hDTEjAf89T

What We Know About Cognitive Decline
The White House plays down Biden’s mental lapses, while innovations face regulatory obstacles.
Right on cue, the press is responding to President Biden’s manifest mental lapses by rolling out the so-called experts. “Neurologists say blanking on the names of acquaintances or having difficulty remembering dates from the past, especially when under stress, can simply be part of normal aging,” says a Feb. 10 NBC News report.
Such pieces typically note that only a medical doctor can diagnose cognitive impairment and dementia. That’s true, but it’s also true that dementia and mild cognitive impairment are hugely underdiagnosed. One study found a nondiagnosis rate of more than 90% for mild cognitive impairment, suggesting 7.4 million Americans unknowingly live with that condition.
How Israel will invade Rafah
The final offensive against Hamas faces several complications
To the immense chagrin of those calling for a ceasefire, victory remains Israel’s war objective — and it is far from a distant prospect. Of the two key metrics that will decide its victory, one is mostly satisfied, while the other could soon follow.
The first, the destruction of Hamas’s infrastructure, can be measured in the hundreds of kilometres of subterranean tunnels that the IDF has penetrated, cleared and thoroughly wrecked. Since many of these house rocket workshops, a clear indication of progress is the drastic decline in the number of them launched from Gaza each day: first thousands, then hundreds, then a few, then none.
The nonsense of ‘indigenous ways of knowing’
There was a time when you could count on the left to defend science with the sort of zeal that would make a religious fundamentalist blush. Scientific knowledge was once gleefully wielded to expose and mock the magical thinking of creationists, anti-vaxxers, Flat Earthers, astrologers and homoeopaths. However, this staunch commitment to scientific empiricism has recently begun to waver. It is now increasingly coming into conflict with the new tenets of the ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ (DEI) agenda.
Seattle activists declare a ‘homosexual intifada’
As if “Queers for Palestine” wasn’t enough of a self-parody, keffiyeh-donning gay activists in Seattle have declared a “homosexual intifada.”
After another pro-Hamas/anti-Israel march and rally that took over city streets that Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell ceded, the extremists plastered their signage around downtown Seattle. That’s when we started seeing a new flyer showing two men with faces covered with keffiyeh while embracing in a kiss. The pink-hued message says “Homo-sexual Intifada” in all caps.
YouTube family vlogger Ruby Franke will serve up to 30 years for ‘CONCENTRATION CAMP’ abuse of her kids: She apologizes to her ‘little chicks’ for starving and chaining them up outside
Disgraced YouTube mommy blogger Ruby Franke wept in court as she was told she will serve up to 30 years in prison for brutally abusing two of her own children in a ‘concentration camp-like setting’.
Franke, 42, pleaded guilty last year to four counts of child abuse after one of her young children escaped and alerted a neighbor to their suffering.
She was sentenced to between one to 15 years in prison for each count – up to 60 years in total – at Utah’s 5th District Court on Tuesday. Both women will serve their sentences in Utah State Prison.
If these ‘pro-Palestinian’ marches aren’t anti-Semitic, answer me this
Life is full of little mysteries. For example: why do the words “flammable” and “inflammable” mean the same thing? Why do Americans insist on pronouncing “herbs” as “erbs”? Why does my phone’s autocorrect function appear to have been programmed by someone who can’t spell or punctuate?
Oh, and one more, while we’re at it. If British Leftists care as much as they claim to about the lives of innocent civilians in the Middle East, why didn’t they hold weekly mass marches demanding a ceasefire in Syria?
Nolte: YTD Box Office down Nearly 50% from Pre-Pandemic Levels
Compared to this same date in 2020 (the last pre-pandemic January and February), the 2024 box office is down nearly 50 percent.
“Through the first three days of Presidents Day weekend, films that have been released widely in theaters have grossed $764.1 million, down 15% from the same period last year,” reports the Wall Street Journal.
Think Again – Government cannot save the media
It was a “garbage decision.” That’s how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described Bell Media’s recent announcement that it was laying off nine per cent of its workforce, selling nearly half of its regional radio stations, and eliminating many of its newscasts.
I didn’t like the announcement either. Giant corporations such as Bell have made a mess of journalism. There’s no question that their decisions over the years to systematically cut back on local newsrooms has led to a decline in the quality of news coverage, which of course leads to people cancelling their subscriptions and to companies pulling their ads. And the downward spiral continues.
It’s ‘obvious’ that rules weren’t followed with ArriveCan development, Trudeau says
VANCOUVER – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it’s “obvious” contracting rules weren’t followed during the development of the controversial ArriveCan app.
Trudeau says the app was developed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic when everything was in question, but there is still a need to follow rules even in difficult times.
He says investigations are ongoing and there will be consequences for instances in which public servants did not abide by the rules.
