A TikTok user named Paulina was recently terrorized beyond imagining while at the Rainbow Oaks Country Market, in Fallbrook, California. No, she wasn’t shot at by an illegal alien with an illegal gun. Nor was she beaten by screaming men claiming to be women. This was even worse than being misgendered. The National Anthem played on the restaurant’s television and sound system, and diners stopped eating, stood up, and placed their hands over their hearts. For Paulina, this triggered fear and, on her part, racism. That’s depressing. Even more depressing is that the most popular commenters shared her fear, outrage, and disgust.

The West’s betrayal of free speech
Our leaders talk a good game about defending dissidents abroad, while cracking down on thoughtcrime at home.
Nigeria’s Supreme Court is poised to hear a hugely significant blasphemy case involving a Sufi Muslim musician. Yahaya Sharif-Aminu is accused of sending an allegedly ‘blasphemous’ self-composed song to a WhatsApp group. According to a local Sharia court, Yahaya ‘praised an imam [revered in Yahaya’s tradition of Islam] to the extent it elevated him above the Prophet Muhammad’. For this ‘unforgivable’ expression of belief, the court sentenced him to death in 2020, under Kano State’s draconian Sharia Penal Code. After an appeal, his conviction was eventually overturned. But he has now been ordered to face a retrial.
Liberals put forward new amendments to gun legislation following initial backlash
The Liberal government is introducing a revised set of amendments to its pending gun legislation after dropping some initial changes that sparked outcry from firearm owners.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said Tuesday the amendments to Bill C-21 include a new definition of prohibited firearms that encompasses certain “assault-style” rifles.
“These reforms are about keeping AR-15 assault-style firearms off of our streets while at the same time respecting gun owners,” he told a press conference.
Jamie Sarkonak: Censorious Liberal attempt to block news article shows why they want to control the internet
Recently released documents show that although the federal government is sparing in its requests to social media companies to take down comments , such requests can be abused to censor news coverage that paints the government in a bad light. This is especially concerning given the Liberals’ attempts to gain more control over the internet.
Taxpayers get soaked by Volkswagen giveaway
More than $4 million per job. That’s how much Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has committed taxpayers to spending in his sweetheart deal with a German auto giant.
In St. Thomas, Ont., flanked by Premier Doug Ford, Trudeau announced taxpayers are set to give Volkswagen up to $13 billion in exchange for a $7-billion electric car-battery plant.
The plant is costing taxpayers $13 billion and is set to employ 3,000 workers.

Is this a joke?
Trudeau has asked for yet another bullshit investigation designed to exonerate himself of blame for allowing his ChiCom pals efforts to harm a Conservative MP
Trudeau says he’s asked for investigation of Chinese foreign interference aimed at Conservative MP
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he’s asked his officials to investigate a report in The Globe and Mail that says the Chinese government has targeted Canadian MPs behind a Parliamentary motion declaring Beijing’s oppression of Uyghurs to constitute genocide.
Speaking in Question Period Monday, Mr. Trudeau was asked by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre why a report on the matter from CSIS was produced in 2021 but no action was taken. He noted the Chinese diplomat reported by The Globe and Mail as involved in targeting Conservative MP Michael Chong is still listed as working in Beijing’s Toronto consulate.
“This is absolutely unacceptable and it shouldn’t have happened,” Mr. Trudeau told the Commons.
Seriously. We need to learn to riot like the French.

Ottawa Police Cancel Internet Broadcast of Detective Grus ‘Sudden Infant Deaths’ Trial – Conceal Judge’s Decisions From Public – Lie to Journalist & Public (In Writing)
Since September 2022, every appearance by Detective Grus before the Internal Trials Officer has been publicly broadcast on the Internet via MicroSoft Teams – but Ottawa Police have now arbitrarily decided to prevent citizens and journalists outside Ottawa from witnessing the upcoming April 28, 2023 motions hearing online.
Only local Ottawa journalists will have first-hand access to the Grus trial. This includes the same agenda-driven news media that first published confidential information criminally provided to them by rogue Ottawa Police officers.
WTF?

Biden’s Age Is Not the Problem Here!
We’ve all long known the real issue: his steady cognitive decline.
Much has been written about the remarkably large percentage of Americans who don’t want President Joe Biden to run for a second term. Most of the commentariat, however, tiptoes around the obvious reason they want him to retire after one term. When they can’t avoid discussing Biden’s bizarre behavior and weird maundering, most pundits hide behind vague allusions to his age, but the public has long known that the real problem is his steady cognitive decline.
How artificial intelligence could supplement and reinforce our emerging thought police
By now, many are familiar with ChatGPT. Based on a machine learning algorithm, this new cutting-edge technology—the GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer—is a language model trained to understand and generate human language. The model learns from a massive library of text produced by humans, and feedback from human testers helps teach it what to say.
Hollywood screenwriters prepare to strike
Writers Guild of America strike could begin this week amid complaints that streaming business model championed by Netflix and Disney has ruined their livelihoods
Hollywood writers of a certain age fondly recall a golden era when shows such as Friends drew more than 20 million viewers a week and even unremarkable sitcoms could generate huge profits.
In the boom times of the 1990s writers flocked to Los Angeles seeking their fortune, and many found it, signing lucrative contracts and earning eye-watering fees.
Those halcyon days are long gone, and now writers are on the verge of only their second strike in four decades in a dispute over pay.
