UBC: Political Correctness Is Illegal, Say These Professors Suing Their University

Job candidates required to describe how they would advance “decolonization.” A video that suggests starting meetings by identifying oneself as a “settler” on unceded native lands. A political scientist who says he was instructed to teach game theory “from an Indigenous perspective.”

Each, a practice at the University of British Columbia, is now evidence in a lawsuit brought against the school by a group of professors who claim such social-justice efforts violate a provincial law requiring universities to stay out of politics.

The suit, filed last spring and currently under review by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, has set off a major legal and cultural battle at one of Canada’s top universities, in which each side accuses the other of trying to push an activist political agenda in the name of free speech.

Nick Pope: I worked for Britain’s UFO unit. Yes, aliens are real … Plus Trump to declassify UFO Data

Barack Obama’s dropping of an alien bombshell – he said “they’re real” in a podcast interview – set the pulses of millions of “believers” racing at the weekend. But the former US president has since qualified his response.

In a statement on Instagram, he said his comment had been made in the heat of the moment. He had simply meant that, given the vastness of the universe, we’re unlikely to be alone. He added: “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!” Case closed? Maybe not.

For much of the early 1990s I was posted to the Ministry of Defence’s so-called “UFO Desk”. While most of our cases turned out to be misidentifications of known objects or phenomena, a small but statistically significant proportion appeared to defy conventional explanation.

The author of the piece above is Nick Pope, one of the good guys. He was just diagnosed with terminal cancer as he explains here.

I hope he follows through …

Globe succumbs to TDS inspired psychotic break – “What do you do when you’re living next door to a fascist state?”

What do you do when you’re living next door to a fascist state?

The United States has collapsed into fascism. Only naiveté blocks this conclusion. And to paraphrase Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, naiveté is not a strategy.

The future is always uncertain, as the heroic people of Minneapolis have shown the world. But as with Russia, we must expect that it is possible the United States will remain fascist far into the future. As with naiveté, hope is also not a strategy.

This is next level TDS written by that college dorm kid who just started smoking weed and is flipping out.

The Sheer Scale Of The U.S. Military Presence Building Up Around Iran

The United States is rapidly expanding its military footprint across the Middle East, positioning major naval and air assets across the region as the Trump administration mounts pressure on Iran.

While the second round of nuclear negotiations wrapped this week and were described as “constructive,” the United States has continued to amass over a dozen warships and hundreds of planes throughout the region.

Another Illegal Alien Truck Driver Causes Fatal Crash, This Time in Indiana

At this point, if, as soon as a semi-truck driver causes a deadly crash, one predicts that the guilty party is an illegal alien from India named Singh, one has a good chance of being right on target.

The latest such vehicular killer ran a red light and crashed into another vehicle, killing the driver, according to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin. Local police did not confirm the identity of the semi-truck driver, but federal sources communicated to Melugin that the individual in question should never have been in the country, let alone driving a semi-truck professionally.

What It Takes to Make the ‘Buy Canadian’ Defence Industrial Strategy Work

Canada is finally having the defence conversation it has deferred for a generation. Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new $6.6 billion Buy Canadian defence plan promises to prioritize domestic production, expand small- and medium-sized firms into the sector, and create up to 125,000 jobs over the next decade.

At the same time, Canada has pledged to raise core defence spending to 3.5 percent of GDP within 10 years, alongside an additional 1.5 percent for dual use security infrastructure. By 2035, that implies annual defence-related spending approaching $160 billion.

Nolte: Hollywood Reporter Accidentally Admits Network Talk Shows Blacklist Conservatives

The far-left Hollywood Reporter has accidentally admitted that network talk shows blacklist conservatives.

The news that Republicans are blacklisted from network talk shows, such as the View, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert, is something we already knew. What’s fascinating is the lack of self-awareness in this Hollywood Reporter (THR) story, an outlet so bubbled it has no idea what it just revealed….
