U.S. Offers Palestinians $100k to Promote ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ in Arts and Sports

Amid a fresh wave of terrorism across Israel, the Biden administration is sending $100,000 in taxpayer funds to Palestinian groups that “promote diversity, equity, inclusion,” the government announced last week.

The State Department will make available $100,000 for Palestinian government and non-profit groups through its “American-Palestinian Arts, Culture, and Sports Initiative.” The funding is meant to “improve American-Palestinian relations” at a time when terrorists are wreaking havoc across Israel, including a series of rocket attacks this week by the Iran-funded Hamas militant group.

Digital loonie? Bank of Canada wants your thoughts on potential new currency

The Bank of Canada wants to know what Canadians think about the possibility of a digital loonie.

Consultations on what Canadians would like to have included in a digital currency are open online from May 8 until June 19, the Bank of Canada said Monday.

The central bank notes, however, that the decision to launch a digital version of the Canadian dollar remains in the hands of Parliament and physical coins and banknotes aren’t going anywhere.

Drag queen storytime ignites German culture war

A children’s event due to be staged by drag artists in Munich’s city library next month has been condemned by conservative political leaders as “dangerous” and “toddler indoctrination” in a sign of the extent to which American-style culture wars are taking root in Germany.

Similar to Drag Queen Story Hour, a phenomenon that has spread across the English-speaking world from San Francisco, the show is intended to introduce children from the age of four to a broader spectrum of gender and sexual diversity.

Canada set to name foreign labs, universities that pose risk to national security

The government of Canada is in “advanced stages” of drafting a list of entities that pose a risk to national security, and top universities are prepared to avoid working with these entities despite what could be a loss of $100 million or more in annual research funding from foreign partners.

The list will include foreign-state-connected universities, research institutes and laboratories that are believed to be at “higher risk” of engaging in theft, unwanted knowledge transfers and interference in research, according to government documents reviewed by the Star.

Mehdi Hasan and other progressives try to rule the discussion of black-on-black murder out of bounds.

When the Truth Becomes a Dog Whistle

There’s a school of thought that believes that every instrument that makes a sound is a dog whistle.

The MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan provided a remarkably telling example of this perspective a week or so ago when he objected to Bill Maher’s talking about the problem of murders in Chicago in particular and black-on-black crime in general.

Meta Reaffirms Plan to Block News Access in Canada If Bill C-18 Passes

A representative for the tech giant Meta said Monday that the company plans to block access to Canadian news content on its platforms if Parliament passes Bill C-18, which mandates that the company pay news publishers for hosting content.

“Ultimately, this legislation puts Meta in an unfavourable situation. In order to comply, we have to either operate in a flawed and unfair regulatory environment, or we have to end the availability of news content in Canada. With a heavy heart, we choose the latter,” Kevin Chan, Meta’s global policy director, said before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on May 8.

Rex Murphy: A cringeworthy Liberal party paws at an American celebrity endorsement

There is nothing quite as touching as ceremony.

And have we not had a plush weekend of high ceremony? Perhaps the fullest of its kind.

A great time-weary institution — honouring itself — the best and brightest in attendance.

Dignitaries in abundance, elder persons of state and influence, the most touching exchanges between a once queen and a queen — possibly — yet to be.

The electric vehicle dream has turned into a nightmare

From rocketing electricity prices to absent chargers by way of bridge-rattling weight, the problems are mounting

The rollout of electric cars isn’t quite going to plan, is it? By the end of the decade it will be illegal to buy a new petrol car, but that doesn’t mean we’ve thought through the consequences.

There were always obvious problems with the technology: the electricity has to come from somewhere, and Britain isn’t installing enough chargers to meet government targets. And that’s before you take the rocketing price of electricity into account, which means that thousands of the handy roadside chargers where motorists could charge up for nothing have been pulled. There are nearly 40 per cent fewer than a year ago.

Oklahoma Governor Axes PBS Funding Over ‘Really Problematic’ LGBTQ Content Targeting Children

The Governor of Oklahoma last week vetoed a bill providing funding for the state’s PBS station, arguing that publicly funded television is “outdated” and shouldn’t be pushing gender ideology on vulnerable children.

In an interview Monday with Fox News, Gov. Kevin Stitt called the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority’s (OETA) programming “really problematic” for its “indoctrination and over sexualization of our children.”

“It doesn’t line up with Oklahoma values,” Stitt said.

Bombshell News on Joe Biden Is Coming: ‘Do Not Indict Hunter Biden Before Wednesday,’ Says Comer

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the Chair of the House Oversight Committee, is preparing to drop a major bombshell about Joe Biden. In fact, he’s so convinced that this evidence is consequential that he’s also spoken to the Department of Justice, advising them not to indict Hunter Biden until the Committee’s forthcoming announcement.

The myth of systemic racism prevents black achievement in America

We keep hearing about the need for a conversation about race, specifically a conversation about the misery the black community experiences from being oppressed by the systemic racism of the white people of the United States. The endless conversation hasn’t done much beyond harming race relations, but maybe there is some systemic racism in the United States. Let’s look at three examples of systemic racism that are oppressive to black Americans.

Is There an Illegal Alien Mass Shooting Crisis?

Maybe we ought to build a wall?

When law enforcement and the media drag their feet on releasing a killer’s name, you know that he’s probably either Muslim, transgender or a member of some politically inconvenient minority group.

That once again proved true today as the media obsessively focused on exactly what type of gun was used, what sort of car, and interviews with witnesses about the shock and horror they felt while telling us nothing about the perp.

When 75 is time to die: the horrifically plausible film imagining state-run euthanasia in Japan

Japan’s ageing and lonely population is reaching crisis point. What’s the solution? The director of Plan 75, about a programme of voluntary suicide, explains why her film is ‘far from impossible’

Japan is ageing faster than any other country in the world, boasting one of the highest life expectancies. Women typically live to 87 and men to 81. Almost 40% of its population is over 60, a figure expected to continue expanding as the population shrinks. Couples in Japan now have an average of just 1.3 children – far below the 2.1 children societies need to remain stable.

Japan once placed its elderly at the top of the social hierarchy, even holding a national holiday to honour their contributions to society. But no longer: Fumio Kishida, the country’s prime minister, recently said the ageing population poses an “urgent risk to society”. Announcing a new government agency to address the issue, he said: “Japan is standing on the verge of whether we can continue to function as a society.”

The Dutch farmers’ revolt is far from over

The EU’s stringent climate targets are a threat to their way of life.

Last week, the European Commission gave the Dutch government the go-ahead to start buying out farms in order to meet the EU’s climate targets.

Under the European Green Deal of 2020, the EU plans to be climate neutral by 2050. As part of this, under the European Climate Law of 2021, the EU wants to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by a minimum of 55 per cent by 2030.
