As Covid barrels through China, scientists around the world are searching for clues about an outbreak with sprawling consequences — for the health of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, the global economy and the future of the pandemic.

You’re not imagining that hard leftists are ugly and unpleasant

There’s a new Substack site in town and, if a recent post about leftists’ biological underpinnings is anything to go by, this site will go far. The writer at Biopolitics has assembled all sorts of information about the mental and biological traits of being on the left and right sides of the political spectrum and reached an over-arching conclusion: Leftists are physically ugly and mentally unpleasant, although it remains unclear whether their biology makes them leftists or their politics affect their biology.

Time magazine is mocked for saying EXERCISE is racist as interview claims women lifting weights in early 1900s was ‘a white supremacy project’

Time magazine has been ruthlessly mocked for an article saying the origins of exercise are rooted in racism.

The piece, titled ‘The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise,’ preaches the activity as a pastime started in the early 1900s by white Americans who sought to strengthen their race amid increasing immigration and the abolition of slavery.

Those statements were made by progressive private school teacher Natalia Petrzela, who was interviewed by the publication after engaging in an in-depth study into the origins of calorie-burning activities in the US.

Swedish Kids a Minority in Malmö Schools

It is suggested that students generally would do better in Malmö’s schools if they were allowed to take classes in their native language instead of in Swedish.

The majority of the school kids in the Swedish city of Malmö are of foreign origin, which means “new integration challenges” for all, according to the city’s own researcher on the integration of immigrants.

17% of Assaults on NY Jews Were Carried Out By Muslims

 

“64% of the assaults were committed by black individuals, 17% by Asians (Muslim/Arab),”

There’s a lot of talk about the high rates of antisemitic hate crimes. The problem is that hate crime reporting tends to condense assaults, vandalism, and verbal abuse.

What is much more useful is focusing on actual assaults to see where the danger lies.

Was Winston Churchill a racist? A look at the evidence

‘Racist’ read the spray-painted epithet on Winston Churchill’s statue in Parliament Square following a climate protest in 2020. This brutal assessment of Britain’s wartime leader wasn’t a one-off: ‘Just because Hitler was a racist does not mean Churchill could not have been one,’ says the Cambridge academic Priyamvada Gopal. In recent years, a movement to ‘tell the truth’ about Churchill has sprung up. He should be knocked from perch, plinth and prominence, his critics argue. So what is the truth about Churchill?

OTTAWA – The war in Ukraine has identified critical gaps in the Canadian Army’s ability to fight and survive on the battlefield, leading to an unanticipated rush to buy new military equipment.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Canadian Army commander Lt.-Gen. Joe Paul said that includes anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles as well as systems to protect against drones.
The Army is also hoping to purchase the types of long-range, precision missile systems that have given Ukrainian forces a distinct advantage over their Russian foes, and state-of-the-art command-and-control technology.

What is it like to survive an execution by lethal injection?

On three occasions in the past four months, Alabama’s department of corrections has bungled its lethal injections procedure.

At 7.57pm on 17 November, prison guards entered the “death cell” at Holman correctional facility in Atmore, south Alabama, where Kenneth Smith was awaiting execution by lethal injection for the 1988 murder-for-hire of a preacher’s wife.

The guards put Smith in handcuffs and leg irons, then led him to the execution chamber and strapped him tightly to the gurney. As he lay there, he prepared himself for imminent death.
