With China’s communist oligarchs tightening their grip on power as anti-COVID lockdown protests erupt across that country, who should step in to help the detested regime but wokester Apple, one of the most virtue-signally of all companies in the Silicon Valley.
“Only 3% of 18-24 year olds identify as Anglicans, and only 5% as Catholics.”
Mass migration and the collapse of religion among the young have transformed Europe. And it’s transforming America at a slower rate.
AS FAR as social engineers are concerned, efficiency, precision and consistency are not human traits. Two prominent men, a century apart, have sought to override the flaws of nature by making us more mechanistic. The current reformer of Homo sapiens is Yuval Noah Harari, to whom I will return, but cold and clinical manipulation of manpower began in the early 20th century.
After Balenciaga, more publicity campaigns are taking a disturbing turn
Fashion has been smashing taboos since Coco Chanel first marketed trousers to women after World War I. But today there are very few norms left to assault in pursuit of publicity-generating controversy. So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised to find the rag trade venturing into truly taboo territory: paedophilia and now suicide — albeit with a fig-leaf of liberal proceduralism, in its guise as medically-assisted voluntary euthanasia.
The Department of Energy won’t say whether it plans to fire Biden administration official Sam Brinton, who was charged with felony theft last month after he allegedly stole a woman’s roller bag from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Michael Shellenberger on the global elites’ embrace of climate apocalypticism.
Climate activism seems to be becoming increasingly hysterical. Creepy apocalyptic cults, like Just Stop Oil and Animal Rebellion, have rarely been off the front pages in recent weeks. Worse still, their end-is-nigh worldview now seems to be openly endorsed by media, government and international institutions. What is going on? Why are climate activists becoming madder and yet more mainstream? And what exactly do they want?
“As I noted earlier this month in this space, Canadians were again made proud by their costume-loving leader when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decided to make an appearance on “Canada’s Drag Race,” with the trailer showing him nearly shivering with delight that he could make such a statement. The appearance has now been released online and it was, if possible, worse than one might have thought. “
The father of one of the four victims in the Nov. 13. University of Idaho stabbings says his daughter suffered “large punctures” from a “brutal weapon.”
Steve Goncalves — father of slain Kaylee Goncalves, 21 — said he learned a little more about who the police believe is responsible for the attack Tuesday.
“The detective said this weapon is probably something [the killer] paid money for and something that they’re proud of,” he told ABC news in his first on-screen interview.
He also vented his upset that the killer is “having a great life out there, and [we’re] just left in shambles.”
It is very hard to maintain one’s composure when speaking to ordinary Canadians about the disaster in the making that is Canada today. I have engaged personally and via email over the last two years with literally hundreds of my fellow countrymen from all walks of life on the subjects of the national debt, the deficit, the sunsetting of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the draconian and illegal Covid and vaccine mandates and the turbo maladies that flow from them, the various repressive bills sieving through Parliament, the vicious and lying government and media campaign against the Trucker Freedom Convoy, and the unconscionable behavior of the most vindictive, incompetent and unpatriotic prime minister in the history of Confederation.
One of the less appealing things about this country is that its big talk often outstrips its contribution.
We scored a goal in the World Cup and claimed history had been made. History would have been made if we’d won.

“What stands out for visitors?” I asked our guide during a tour of Honolulu’s Chinatown with my out-of-town guests. “Always the same,” he replied, “the homeless.”
As Haiti Unravels, U.S. Officials Push to Send in an Armed Foreign Force
Fearing a mass exodus, some Biden officials are pressing for a multinational force, but they don’t want to send U.S. troops and haven’t been able to persuade other countries to take the lead.
After days of gunfights in early November, Haitian police officers emerged triumphant: They had finally liberated the nation’s biggest port from the gangs that had taken it over for two months.
But when members of Haiti’s SWAT team returned to the shantytown that surrounds the port just days later, they still did not feel safe enough to even leave their armored truck.
The officers anxiously scanned rows of rusty shacks for hidden gunmen, too wary of the danger outside to open the doors.
The upshot was clear: The police keep trying to fight back, but gangs still run much of Haiti.
Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin contemptuously called Western intellectuals who unwittingly served communist objectives “useful idiots.” Ohio State University political science professor and Cato Institute senior fellow John Mueller may be auditioning for that role with his article in the National Interest titled “The United States Does Not Need to Contain China.”
Never trust the CATO institute.
We already knew that a trend of more people seeking gun permits in the past five years only accelerated as crime rates soared over the past two years. The line of people waiting for permit approvals in Philadelphia grew so long that the city was eventually sued over its failure to process them promptly.
