Crooked cop was crooked & racist because she was fighting racism say supporters

Senior officer pleads guilty in Toronto police promotion cheating scandal

“Thursday’s agreed statement of fact also revealed that, while examining the content of Clarke’s cellphones, investigators came across messages she’d sent to an unnamed civilian member of the service and an unnamed employee of the Toronto police board.

Those messages were “inconsistent with the service’s commitment to anti-racism,” according to the document. No further description of the messages was provided.”

She was racist on account she was fighting racism.

“Promoted in 2020, Clarke is the first Black female superintendent in Toronto police history and has talked about the importance of diversifying police ranks. Her supporters — who’ve regularly tuned in to watch the case online, a group attending in person Thursday — have questioned whether Clarke was unfairly targeted for actions possibly taken to address systemic equity issues; among the officers she provided the answers to were fellow racialized cops.

“We have been saying that, while the allegations may be true, we felt that there was more to it, and we should look at the circumstances that may have contributed to the actions,” said David Betty, president of the Jamaican Canadian Association, who watched Clarke’s plea.

I posted on this last night but Neocon pointed the way to the Star’s version of events which proved much worse.

Federal government looking to cut $1 billion from National Defence budget

The Liberal government is looking to cut almost $1 billion from the annual budget of the Department of National Defence (DND) — a demand the country’s top military commander says is prompting some “difficult” conversations within the military.

Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre and Deputy Minister of Defence Bill Matthews testified before the House of Commons defence committee late Thursday, where they acknowledged in more detail the ramifications of the federal government’s spending reduction plan.

“There’s no way that you can take almost a billion dollars out of the defence budget and not have an impact,” Eyre told the four-party committee. “This is something that we’re wrestling with now.”

Will they have to lay-off the transvesite make-up squad?

WARMINGTON: Homeless enjoy fancy food as Anthony Rota’s garden party cancelled

Let them eat scallops!

Make that seared and crusted scallops, poached shrimp, pulled beef barbacoa and, of course, lamb meatballs.

The homeless will be eating well in Ottawa Friday. Or maybe, more accurately, they are enjoying the spoils of Canada’s parliamentarians.

Scale of Alleged Biden Foreign Influence Peddling Unprecedented in History of D.C. Corruption, Impeachment Witness Testifies

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, testifying during the first House impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden, said Thursday that while Washington, D.C., is “awash” with influence peddling, the “size and complexity” of the allegations against Biden and his family are unprecedented.

House leaders, he said, have a “duty” to determine if the president was involved in a pay-to-play scheme.

The racism of multiculturalism

I hate to call people dim, ill-informed or ‘low information’. But there’s really no other way to describe Britain’s liberal-left commentariat – and their latest barrage of takes on multiculturalism, sparked by home secretary Suella Braverman’s blockbuster speech in Washington, DC yesterday. Still, given many of the same scribblers have spent years calling Brexit voters far less polite things than dim, ill-informed and ‘low information’, I’m sure they can take it.

Progressives ignore America’s crime wave at their peril

The closure of nine Target stores in coastal cities reflects poorly on Democrats

The discount department chain Target recently announced that it will be closing nine stores across the United States in cities such as San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. The stated reason is rampant organised retail theft, which has created more shrinkage (loss of inventory from other than sales) than can be dealt with, and an unsafe shopping environment driving prospective customers away. A precedence has already been set for this. Macys and Best Buy have closed a few of their stores citing similar reasons.

From Staten Island To Eagle Pass, Americans Revolt Over The Border Invasion Biden Invited Into Their Homes

Americans are revolting against President Joe Biden and his partisan allies who have done nothing but encourage millions of illegal border crossers to pour into even the smallest U.S. communities.

The Biden White House insists what’s happening at the U.S. Southern border is “not a crisis.” But recent border arrest numbers and a steady stream of shocking footage of illegal border-crossers pouring into border communities suggest otherwise.

The Great Replacement and the Psychology of Denial

For those in denial, an immigrant is just a generic human unit who brings no cultural baggage with him.

It’s commonplace for many conservatives, and others concerned about security, to express alarm about uncontrolled immigration. And while there is an invigorating perennial debate between classical liberals / libertarians and social conservatives about the merits and drawbacks to having open borders, for many, to express too strong a defense of immigration controls—or, worse, ‘repatriation’—is tantamount to racist xenophobia.

We’re here to say that this dismissive attitude—and the general reluctance among policymakers to discuss the socio-economic impacts of mass migration—does a disservice to the many countries that have opened their arms to newcomers. But given recent episodes of crime, riots, and sexual violence, and given the sheer scale of the waves of immigrants now seeking refuge in Europe, we think Europe’s future lies in part with ensuring its cultural survival, which necessarily implies ending immigration.

REPORT: Biden Crime Family ‘Earned’ $24 MILLION From China, Russia, Ukraine, Others

“From 2014 to 2019,” the report states, “Biden family members and their affiliate companies received over $15 million from foreign companies and foreign nationals in Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Romania, and China. Biden business associates received an additional $9 million.” The committee has the receipts, which must not have been easy to get because “money was transmitted to Biden family members from foreign sources through an exceedingly complex chain of transactions that made it difficult to track the flow of these funds.”
