Belgium: Protests Erupt over Sex-Ed Classes

On Thursday night, September 14th, an elementary school in the French-speaking Belgian municipality of Charleroi was set on fire—the sixth school to suffer that fate in just two days.

Investigators suspect that the fires can be traced back to negative reactions to a decree—approved earlier that week—on sex education lessons in schools in Wallonia and Brussels.

Under the so-called ‘Evras’ (Éducation à la Vie Relationnelle, Affective et Sexuelle) decree, for two hours each year, French-speaking pupils (in the sixth grade of primary school, ages 11-12, and fourth grade of secondary school, ages 15-16) have to be taught about sexuality, relationships and emotions.

Astonishing scenes from Justin Trudeau’s flailing Liberals

The federal Liberals are in big trouble and they clearly don’t know what to do about it. But by God they’re game to try anything, not least on social media. And so it was on Wednesday afternoon that Whitby, Ont. MP Ryan Turnbull (or someone on his behalf) took to the keyboard to assail Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s housing policy.

“Poilievre’s plan is to cut funding to municipalities so he can intimidate them into building more homes,” Turnbull lamented. “We are already making historic investments in housing, knowing there is much more to do and we are focused on tackling this crisis head-on,”

Inside Sin City’s growing homeless crisis

The iconic Las Vegas strip has seen a surge in homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks and in makeshift tents as the city grapples with an affordable housing crisis.

New images taken by DailyMail.com show people curled up in the sidewalk and outside store fronts – with some keeping their minimal belongings in trolleys and encampments.

At least 6,566 people were counted as homeless in Southern Nevada in late January of this year, according to statistics from the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care.

COVID-19 Vaccines Revealed to Be ‘Neither Safe, Nor Effective’: Watchdog

COVID-19 vaccines were authorized in Canada during 2020 and 2021 without being subjected to the country’s safety tests as required under established drug regulations, revealed an accountability watchdog.

An investigation into COVID vaccines found that the jabs were “neither safe nor effective,” said the nonprofit National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) in a Sept. 15 post on X. The organization published a report Thursday detailing the flawed mechanism through which the vaccines were granted “approval” in Canada.

Russell Brand accuser: ‘He’s saying one thing and I know the demon underneath it’

In her first full interview, a woman who alleges that the comedian raped her tells The Times why she is talking about it now

When Nadia began her treatment at a medical centre for victims of rape, she struggled to verbalise what had just happened to her.

“I literally couldn’t say the word ‘rape’, ” she reflects. “I couldn’t believe that [could happen] to anyone I know, as silly as that was. But by the end of it, I was like, ‘Oh my god. He raped me.’ ”

It was summer 2012 and her assailant, Nadia claims, was Russell Brand, the actor and comedian, who at that point was at the height of his fame and living in Los Angeles.

Rolling Stone Founder: Women, Black Musicians Not ‘Articulate Enough’ on ‘Intellectual Level’ to Feature in New Book

Jann Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine, claimed the reason no women or people of color appear in his upcoming book of interviews with rock stars was because “none of them were . . . articulate enough” on an “intellectual level.”

What’s the truth about Joe and Hunter Biden’s finances?

Trump’s supporters claim the president benefited from his son Hunter’s million-dollar schemes. Democrats argue it’s just a way to distract from numerous allegations against the Republican frontrunner

I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life,” Joe Biden said during the second presidential election debate with Donald Trump.

He was responding to his rival’s claim that “Joe got three and a half million dollars from Russia . . . Your family got three and a half million dollars and you know some day, you’re gonna have to explain . . .”

The time to explain has arrived.

Colin Kaepernick makes a bid to return to the shackles of the NFL, gets rejected

 

If the NFL is a plantation, and the processes of the Scouting Combine are akin to those at bygone slave auctions, then why is Colin Kaepernick trying to return to a life of chains? As Delano Squires put it, “So he’s asking to return to the same ‘plantation’ where he toiled for years before being manumitted? I’ve never seen an abolitionist who hated his freedom this much.”

Global Governance Is (Almost) Here

The recent 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks should not obscure the fact that even more devastating attacks are being leveled against the United States.

There is a grand movement afoot known by different titles at the United Nations (U.N.) but generally falls under the Agenda 2030 rubric, which will change the world and eliminate our rights as Americans without so much as a whimper of dissent from our federal government.

Unsubscribe From Everything

You may think you’re not worth spying on. But to our government, we’re all terrorists now.

My email was being “held in government quarantine” pending review, a letter from Yahoo! informed me. I was sitting in the computer lab in the German department at New York University. It was September of 2003. I remember because I’d just received an email about a merit scholarship for that semester. The government wants to know about my scholarship? was my first thought. My next one was: Let ‘em. What did I care if the government knew my GPA?

Wind turbines may be killing whales. Why won’t Greenpeace admit it?

A Blue whale near a seventy-five foot boat.

The nonprofit is not enjoying being hoist by its own precautionary petard

Who cares about whales? Whales might be dying because of sonar surveying, but Greenpeace simply ignores the science that doesn’t suit it.

So far last year, seventy-one whales have washed up dead on the shores of New England and neighboring states. The rate seems to have risen in recent years along with a growth in the number of offshore wind turbines. A small group of concerned citizens have started to campaign against the turbines on behalf of the whales, and the journalist Michael Shellenberger has made a short film about their efforts called Thrown to the Wind.

Net Zero is a threat to human civilisation

According to Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from Olympus and gave it to humanity. It was a gift that liberated and empowered us. For many, that Promethean fire has come to symbolise scientific and technological knowledge. But I think the fire can be interpreted more literally than that. I think it represents combustion – the ability to create useful energy via the process of burning things. It captures our ability to transform and employ different forms of energy to master nature and improve our lives.

Multicultural Malice: A Warning Against Good Faith

Race-baiting activists claim that the story of Britain is nothing but a litany of racist horrors, yet they also argue that black people have been the leading characters of this story from the very beginning. Which is it?

When the ‘Rhodes Must Fall’ campaign broke out in Oxford, Nigel Biggar rose to the occasion and engaged the ‘decolonising’ agitators in a public debate. He now admits to having been a little more naïve back in 2015 than he is today. For one thing, he seemed to think that this was a good faith discussion about history. Yet the leader of the Rhodes Must Fall side made it clear within the first minute of his speech that the Cecil Rhodes statue outside Oriel College, Oxford, is not a stand-alone offence, but just one “emblem” among many of an inexpungeable guilt, a totemic symbol of a civilisation that was built on white supremacy. Europe, he added, is still plagued by the legacy of this original sin, to the ‘systemic’ disadvantage of non-Europeans who for some reason continue to cross the Mediterranean in vast numbers to reach this irredeemably racist hellhole.

Trudeau spews progressive gibberish

Trudeau says progressive parties must prioritize everyday needs over lofty rhetoric

“If we’re not responding to where people are [in their] daily life, then we’re not going to be connecting with them,” Trudeau told the panel, which also included Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern and former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin.

The progressive promise of a better, fairer world, Trudeau continued, is too aspirational to resonate with people who may be struggling to afford their basic needs.

Trudeau must be so disconnected from reality that he is blind to the fact his government has turned Canada into a shithole state.

It’s Not Racist to Identify Cultural Roots for Criminality

Examining all credible theories of crime helps us identify the true cause of the problem — which is what we should want.

I apparently touched a nerve when I wrote in a recent op-ed that exceptionally high homicide rates among young low-income black males in big cities can be traced to a “subculture of violence,” which I defined as “a propensity to resort to violence to resolve interpersonal conflict.” What really set off hundreds of readers was the following: “This traces back to the nineteenth century South, where whites manifested similar behavior, dubbed an ‘honor culture’ by historians. Blacks, overwhelmingly southerners in the nineteenth century, adopted the white southern subculture of violence and took it to northern cities in the Great Migration.”
