Wither Putin and Prigozhin’s Coup Attempt?

It was predicted that Vladimir Putin’s hold on power was tenuous. And now he is badly damaged goods.

By the time you read this, the fast-moving events in Russia may have outpaced this column . . . and Vladimir Putin. The latest reports say that the Wagner Group’s charismatic chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin has announced he is “turning his columns around.” This after his forces came within 100-to-150 miles of Moscow without resistance, indicating Putin’s weakness. Yet something has changed.

Perhaps some in the Russian command had given Prigozhin mixed messages and then chose not to support Prigozhin, i.e., he counted on support that did not materialize. Why else would he begin a military move toward Moscow, triggering the city to mobilize against a coup? You can bet that Putin will purge any military generals he suspects of questionable loyalties, and he will err on the side of caution, so anyone remotely suspected will be demoted, or in some cases imprisoned or even liquidated as an example to others.

University of Wyoming sorority reveals it CHANGED its definition of ‘woman’ to allow 6ft2, 260lb trans member to join – and slams sisters who sued because she ‘stared at them with an erection visible through leggings’

Artemis Langford – pervert cross dresser

A University of Wyoming sorority has slammed its female members for complaining after it allowed a 6ft2, 260lb trans woman to live in the house – insisting the term ‘woman’ is ‘unquestionably open to many interpretations’.

Sisters at the campus’ Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) chapter claim the organization changed the definition of a woman to allow trans member Artemis Langford to join in September 2022.

After the sorority’s leadership allegedly bullied and intimidated the girls to accept Langford, she was then quickly met with accusations she would ‘peep at (the other girls) while visibly aroused’.

The Horror of Being Christian in Muslim Pakistan: Just One Month

The persecution of Christians in Pakistan — whether at the hands of judges and police, or mobs and rapist gangs — continues to worsen, as evidenced by one fully documented month, that of May 2023.

On May 30, for instance, a Pakistani court sentenced Noman Masih, a 22-year-old Christian man, to death for “blasphemy” (in keeping with Pakistan’s blasphemy statutes, Section 295-C of the Penal Code, which calls for the death penalty for anyone convicted of insulting Muhammad, the prophet of Islam).

NY Times Smears North Korea Defector on Front Page For Criticizing US Left

It takes gall to go after a North Korean defector, and on the front page of the New York Times, no less. The paper’s staff writer Charles Homans’ odd choice of target appeared in the Friday edition under the rather tasteless headline, “Yeonmi Park, a North Korean Dissident, Defects to the American Right.”

Although the Times has in the past been notably soft on North Korea’s Communist dictatorship, one could hardly imagine the paper straining so hard to cast doubt on a defector who suffered greatly under the regime, just for the crime of supporting conservative policy and comparing the American left to the dictatorship she escaped.

Afghan women’s lives ‘better’ under my rule, says Taliban’s supreme leader

Taliban’s supreme leader says women’s lives in Afghanistan have been ‘bettered’ by his rule and the end of the 20-year occupation’s “mistakes” around the hijab.

In a statement marking this week’s Eid al-Adha holiday, Hibatullah Akhundzada – who rarely appears in public and rules by decree from the Taliban’s birthplace in Kandahar – said steps had been taken to provide women with a “comfortable and prosperous life according to Islamic Sharia”.

Joly wants to increase Canada’s impact on the world stage

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada needs to bolster its influence on the world stage, especially in the face of a shifting global context, with the war in Ukraine, and a complex relationship with China.

Joly told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in a wide-ranging interview airing Sunday, she’s working domestically to make sure Canada’s diplomats “are well tooled to do their job,” while also focusing on key issues abroad, namely when it comes to Ukraine, the Indo-Pacific region, and the Arctic.

‘Sound of Freedom’: Go See the Movie Exposing the Huge Child Trafficking Network

Millions of innocent children are sex trafficked every single year, many as part of the Biden border crisis. But a movie about to come to theaters is seeking to expose the vast network of predation on kids and tell the stories of real-life heroes who work to rescue victims of child trafficking.

GUNTER: Liberal achievements take Canada backwards

The House of Commons rose this week for its summer recess and a lot of people seem to think the Trudeau government accomplished very little in this parliamentary session.

I beg to differ. The Liberals and their NDP gofers accomplished quite a lot.

All of it bad.

Anger of Winston Churchill’s family as St Paul’s Cathedral lambasts him as a ‘white supremacist’

St Paul’s Cathedral has provoked uproar by describing Sir Winston Churchill as an ‘unashamed imperialist’ and ‘white supremacist’ in an online post about Britain’s great wartime leader.

The cathedral, which was the venue for Sir Winston’s state funeral in 1965, removed the highly derogatory descriptions only last week after receiving complaints that they vilified a man voted as the greatest-ever Briton.

The Mail on Sunday understands the insulting description appeared on St Paul’s website for more than a year – but it remained unclear last night who was responsible for writing it.

Conrad Black: The lunatic left hijacked the environment for anti-capitalist ends

The recent fog that settled briefly on many northeastern cities from Ottawa to Philadelphia as a result of unusually extensive forest fires in Quebec and northern Ontario led to the predictable conscription of this freakish event as further evidence of the need to assault the oil and gas industry and ratchet up the cost of living of practically everyone. This is part of the self-assigned Canadian mission of saving the planet from the capitalists. There is never much of a respite from outbursts of delusional absurdities of the climate extremists. I’m not a climate denier but I am a resolute and vociferous opponent of hare-brained, self-punitive, instant cures for problems whose causes, proportions, and possible solutions are not fully known to us.

Drag marchers spark outrage with ‘we’re coming for your children’ chant at NYC Pride event

LGBTQ activists participating in New York City’s annual Drag March on Friday sparked outrage for chanting “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children” in a Manhattan park.

The marchers, many wearing flamboyant dresses and clothing, walked through Tompkins Square Park in the East Village Friday night as part of the city’s Pride Month celebrations.

“We’re here we’re queer and we’re coming for your children!”

This movement grooms minors to have mastectomies and castration and fuels a multi billion dollar medical child abuse industry.

Pass the Protect Children’s Innocence Act.

Let kids be kids.

Toronto’s facing a ‘turning point’ election and voter turnout will be key, say experts

With just a day to go before Torontonians heads to the polls, John Beebe is watching the city’s mayoral byelection closely.

The founder of the Democratic Engagement Exchange, whose mission is to foster democratic participation, said last fall’s municipal vote was a wake-up call. With a record low 29 per cent voter turnout, his organization has been hard at work during this campaign doing outreach and providing free tools, resources and training to community groups.

As for the reasons for the low turnout, Beebe said the impact of the pandemic, the strength of then-incumbent John Tory and the lack of a single predominant issue all were likely factors.

‘I helped fund Just Stop Oil — now their tactics are wrecking the cause’

Trevor Neilson emanates a surprising breeziness for a man who is about to disown a prominent part of his life’s work, chastise friends and former colleagues, and call into question the movement he helped start.

Neilson, 50, is a wealthy California entrepreneur, and looks the part. On a sunny day last week at the office of his start-up in the wealthy Pacific Palisades area, a stone’s throw from the crashing surf, Neilson sports a T-shirt, jeans, slip-on shoes, and the air of a man ready to unburden himself.

Pierre Poilievre is becoming a liability to Conservatives says Blackie’s Star

MONTREAL—Pierre Poilievre’s leadership victory last September was the curtain raiser of a new political season on Parliament Hill.

Nine months into his tenure, there is no denying that the latest CPC leader is having a measurable impact on Canada’s federal dynamics.

But is it the kind of impact the Conservatives need to return to the government benches? The early evidence suggests otherwise.

I don’t think many beyond the Star give a damn that Mulroney and Ford don’t care for Poilievre. Neither are beloved or conservative.
