As President Biden’s team tried to put out fires regarding the Curious Case of the Corvette and the FAA fiasco, one Democrat must have been grateful for the White House’s sudden maelstrom of bad news.
When it rains it pours — and Joe’s torrent of bad headlines overshadowed Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s latest scandal that is brewing in the Windy City.
These were not gentle measures.
Religious persecution is on the rise. In much of the world, believing in something other than politics, or believing in the wrong something, leads to discrimination and ostracism at best and prison and death at worst. A recent report by the Pew Research Center has detailed how COVID restrictions became another weapon to attack people of faith.
THE BIG PROBLEM WITH THE JOE BIDEN DOCUMENTS STORY. This could be the shortest newsletter ever. The biggest problem with the Joe Biden documents story is this: We know only what Joe Biden’s lawyers have told us. And the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the case will make the problem worse.
Now, some elaboration. The initial fact that Biden, after his term as vice president ended, kept some classified documents in his possession was revealed by a team of Biden lawyers. In making a public statement, they noted that the discovery of the classified documents, on Nov. 2, 2022, in Biden’s old office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C., was made by…a team of Biden lawyers.
Over the last few years, there has been much written about the destruction of American democracy. Frequently the threat has been of alleged interference in U.S. elections by Russia, China or other state actors. Government agencies, the name of election integrity, were assigned to identify and disrupt these foreign intrusions. As more and more information is revealed about these agencies, it seems that America’s Intelligence Community participated in these activities domestically, and in a way that poses a grave threat to both election integrity and American democracy.
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is warning that Canada’s health-care system is “on the ropes.”
“There’s no community in this country where the headline story is not about something in the health-care system. Our Medicare system across the country is on the ropes,” he told Global News’ David Akin in an interview aired on The West Block.
A police officer’s knee was pinned against the neck of a University of Toronto student as he was repeatedly Tasered on the ground with his hands behind his head before his identification proved what he had told police – they had the wrong man, a statement of claim says.
Hasani O’Gilvie is now suing the Toronto police for $1.6 million in damages.
A wilted lettuce and a few brown bananas. Perhaps the meager booty that the Greifswald police officers found in Salome K.’s backpack will one day be found displayed in a museum, with the sign: “Because of this food, people in Germany ended up in court in 2022.” Dumpster diving is illegal in this country.
But if Justice Minister Marco Buschmann from the neoliberalFree Democrats (FDP)and Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir (Greens) have their way, fishing for edible food in supermarket trash containers will soon go unpunished, provided there is no trespassing or damage to property. “Anyone who saves food from the garbage can should not be prosecuted further for doing so,” Özdemir said.
In Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Ernest,” the main character’s search for his true name comes to a head when he finally demands “would you kindly inform me who I am?” In an astonishing filing this week, Hunter Biden answered that question for his four-year-old daughter Navy Joan and effectively declared “you are no Biden.”
Hunter Biden’s disgraceful treatment of his daughter has long been on display in Arkansas where he long denied being her father, fought paternity, and was threatened with contempt of court over his failure to supply needed documents. After DNA testing was forced by a court, Hunter was found to be the father but he continued to resist efforts to force him to pay child support and supply financial records.

If you can’t beat them, join them. If you can’t join them because you weren’t born into an excessively wealthy family, eat them. If you can’t eat them (the rich) because they’re people and that’s illegal, steal from them. And then brag about it on Twitter.
“American Jews” was trending on Twitter. An interesting thread to scroll through. It has a bit of everything, Anti-Semites, Jewish Anti-Zionists, in short a wide assortment of pro and anti Israel comment. That’s where the tweet below came from. The demo is not in any way special or over the top, in fact I’d describe it as typical of its kind.
Also found a link to this article: “The New Jew – The Beginning of a Jewish Political Realignment”
I think any realignment is too little too late. The Barbarians are inside the gates in the US and Canada and there is plenty of blame to go round for that development. Did you support mass immigration, multiculturalism and diversity? Yes? Congratulations, now reap the whirlwind. Europe is in an even more advanced state of decay. Keep an eye on them for what’s to come.

It is enough to visit a maternity ward, primary school or playground in a large city to see that Europe’s farewell has taken place.
“From a demographic point of view, Europe seems to be on a path that could lead it to leave history”, said Benedict XVI in 2007, while his secretary Georg Gänswein evoked the “danger of the Islamization of Europe”.
Three years earlier, while cardinal, Ratzinger had explained that “Europe seems to have become empty from within, paralyzed by a crisis in its circulatory system which puts its life at risk, entrusted, so to speak, to transplants, which however then cannot but erase his identity”.
In the past few days the news that Mohammed is the second most popular name among newborns in all of Holland (it has been first in the four main cities for years), the first name in England, the first in Berlin, the first in Oslo, the first in Malmö, first in Brussels, third in Vienna… The Welt informs us about Germany: “Even in Dortmund the first is the name of the Prophet, as in Duisburg and Essen…”.
MONTREAL—It’s hard to get a second chance to make a good first impression. Pierre Poilievre will be trying to do just that as he embarks on an early-year visit to Quebec next week.
The latest Conservative leader has his work cut out for him. In Canada’s second largest province, Poilievre is not only much less popular than his main rivals, but he is also off to a poorer start than his three predecessors.
In voting intentions, the Conservative party lags far behind both the leading Liberals and the Bloc Québécois. At 19 per cent, the party’s Quebec tally is its lowest provincial score.
After the chaotic and deadly pullout of US forces from Afghanistan last year, and with no country recognising the government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (better known as the Taliban), it was thought that with bank freezes and sanctions from the international community the Islamic regime would not be able to financially survive. But that is not what happened. As it is believed that up to two-thirds of Afghans live in extreme poverty, to alleviate the problem, in September 2022 the Biden administration announced it would create a fund to assist the people of Afghanistan, apart from the country’s central bank.
‘The Afghan Fund will help mitigate the economic challenges facing Afghanistan while protecting and preserving $3.5 billion in reserves from Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB), Afghanistan’s central bank, for the benefit of the people of Afghanistan,’ Wally Adeyemo, U.S. deputy secretary of the Treasury, said at the time. The central bank of Afghanistan has recently said it received another injection of $40 million in cash in December.
Yet most of the country still remains poverty stricken. This is because the jihadists have been economically doing quite well through the fleecing of international humanitarian aid and making deals with draconian countries like China.
There has been a steady flow of articles in the western press highlighting the plight of the Afghan people since the Taliban were handed the reins of power marking the end of a 20 year con job.
Everyone on the gravy train during the Great Afghan Grift naturally wants to go back to pretending they “make a difference.”
Let the Afghans sort it out and the western grifters be brought to justice.

Safe Third Country Agreement is ‘working’ despite surge in irregular crossings: minister
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) is “working,” despite the massive increase in migrants using unofficial border crossings last year compared to previous years.
Mendicino told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday, Canadian officials and their American counterparts continue to work together to modernize the agreement. Still, he insists the system is functioning.
A longtime Manhattanville College professor was banned from campus activities following an “awkward” transition from male to female — which included polling colleagues on what color wig to wear, according to a lawsuit.
The professor, who began at the Westchester liberal arts school in 1983 as Peter Gardella, now goes by the name Petra Gardella and uses they/them pronouns.
