One of the unsavory aspects of our current era is that firing a member of a “protected class” — racial and sexual minorities, plus women of any race — almost inevitably leads to cries of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. When a person is a “twofer” ticking two boxes indicating presumptively oppressed status, you need a bulletproof list of offenses to charge the target with.
At least the government of Pakistan is more honest than the government of Britain.
The post in question is here. It’s an announcement that that the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest that Pamela Geller and I organized in Garland Texas in May 2015 was sold out, and an excerpt from a Breitbart article about the event. Why has Pakistan been so slow on the uptake here? The post has been out there for over seven and a half years. It could be, of course, because issues of “blasphemy” and the freedom of speech are once again in the news because of the Qur’an-burning in Sweden.
What would it take for Spain—or any society, for that matter—to reassess the scale at which it welcomes immigrants from Muslim-majority countries? Not that such a reassessment would necessarily make a practical difference, since most such immigrants (primarily from neighboring Morocco in Spain’s case) file asylum claims underwritten by EU protocols over which the member states have entirely given up their sovereignty. Though such claims are often long shots, the mere act of filing one immediately shields the applicant from deportation pending a judge’s ruling on whether to grant or deny it. Those immigrants who come in a plainly illegal manner, meanwhile, or those who overstay the denial of their claim, are admittedly a population which, if public opinion supported such a move, the state could more swiftly deport than it currently is.
The death of a young YouTube star at the hands of her father has sparked outrage in Iraq, as so-called “honour” killings continue in the conservative country.
Tiba al-Ali, 22, was killed by her father on 31 January in the southern province of Diwaniya, interior ministry spokesperson Saad Maan said on Twitter on Friday.
Police had attempted to mediate between Ali – who lived in Turkey and was visiting Iraq – and her relatives to “resolve the family dispute in a definitive manner”, Maan said.
THE wheels are well and truly coming off the government’s campaign to make us all buy electric cars (EVs).
The latest setback came when the start-up Britishvolt collapsed into administration last month.The company planned to build a giant factory to manufacture electric car batteries in Blyth, Northumberland. However it was unable to raise the finance even to start construction.
Britishvolt was supposed to build a plant in Quebec.

China’s ‘spy’ balloon, (or is it an errant weather balloon?), is currently being tracked across America. Picked up above the Aleutian Islands, it was buzzed by US planes above Montana and is now headed eastwards as it is pushed by the prevailing Jet Stream. The Pentagon has decided not to shoot it down; it does not want debris landing on middle America. China insists the balloon is used for meteorological research and strayed because of bad weather. But the incident has prompted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to postpone his trip to China that was scheduled for next week.
On a more sinister note … Dry run: Balloons called top ‘delivery platform’ for nuclear EMP attack
High-altitude balloons, such as the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key “delivery platform” for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials.
Spy balloons, used by Japan to drop bombs during World War II, are now far more sophisticated, can fly at up to 200,000 feet, evade detection, and can carry a small nuclear bomb that, if exploded in the atmosphere, would shut down the grid and wipe out electronics in a many-state-wide area.
Why does Canada have an Islamophobia czar?
Why did Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just appoint someone named Amira Elghawaby as Canada’s “special representative on combating Islamophobia?”
Canada is now a country where someone can rape a woman and serve out his sentence in relative comfort at home. This week, a Quebec court judge gave a 20-month suspended sentence, the first 14 months of which will be served under house arrest, to a man who nonconsensually sodomized his former girlfriend, anally raping her despite her protests.
Almost 80 percent of Canadians think it is important to maintain single-sex housing in prisons, according to a poll released Feb. 2 by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI).
Since 2018, however, prisoners in Canada have been housed in men’s or women’s federal prisons based on their self-identified gender.

A blast can be heard, screen goes white and smoke can be seen.

Left-wing DEI bureaucracy has captured Florida State University and installed radical politics as the governing value.
Florida State University has adopted a series of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs that divides Americans along a “matrix of oppression,” castigates Christians for their “Christian privilege,” and offers a racially segregated scholarship that deliberately bars white students from applying.
Officially, Florida State officials have claimed in a recent report to Governor Ron DeSantis that they support 23 separate DEI programs and initiatives. But beneath the surface, the ideology has embedded itself everywhere in the university.
The Swiss-German newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) reports that Joe Biden offered Russian President Vladimir Putin 20% of Ukraine in exchange for a peace treaty. The offer was made by CIA Director William Burns during a top-secret trip to Moscow in January.
Leading lights on the left identify white racism as the root cause of Nichols’ death.
Who killed Tyre Nichols?
The 29-year-old father, lensman, and skateboarder drove home after capturing the sunset in a Memphis park on Jan. 7.
“Photography helps me look at the world in a more creative way,” Nichols stated on his website. “I hope to one day let people see what i see and to hopefully admire my work based on the quality and ideals of my work.”
