Nolte: Woke Movies Drive September Box Office to Lowest in 25 Years
Thanks to a slate of off-putting, woketard movies, September’s box office is the lowest since 1997.
“With just $275 million grossed in North America to date, this will be the first September since 1997 with a monthly total of less than $350 million, reports the far-left TheWrap. “To date, the running total for September 2022 is 20% behind last year’s pace and 52% behind the pace set this month in 2019.”
Jeremy Mackenzie, ‘Diagolon’ founder and far-right figurehead, arrested
Jeremy Mackenzie, a far-right livestreamer and founder of the de-facto group “Diagolon,” has been arrested on a Canada-wide warrant, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia RCMP have confirmed to Global News.
Mackenzie made headlines this week after he allegedly made a joke about sexually assaulting Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s wife, Anaida Poilievre, and his livestreams have faced close scrutiny by extremism researchers — some of whom have raised the alarm about the content.
The “T” Piggybacking on the “LGB”
Polls make clear that Americans across political persuasions have major reservations about “gender-affirming” care for minors and teaching gender-identity ideology in schools.
Few issues these days inspire agreement among large swathes of voters from both parties, but one notable exception appears to be gender-identity policies.
Last April, a Marist poll commissioned by the organization Do No Harm asked 1,377 Americans about their views on the infiltration of “social justice” ideology into medicine. One question asked whether “minors who identify as transgender and want to undergo hormone treatment or gender transition surgery” should be able to do so “without parental consent,” “only with parental consent,” or not until adulthood (regardless of parental consent). Only 10 percent of all adults surveyed said that minors should be able to access these interventions without parental consent. Twenty-five percent said that parental consent should be required, and 60 percent said minors should never be subject to hormonal or surgical interventions in this context (5 percent were unsure). These findings more or less track with those from a recent New York Times/Siena Poll on (among other things) teaching “sexual orientation and gender identity” content in elementary schools, and it is reasonable to assume that the same people who believe it’s unacceptable for teachers to introduce first-graders to, say, the concept of “non-binary” also think that 12-year-old children should not be given puberty blockers for feeling like they were “born in the wrong body.”
Sussex police berated in ‘misgender’ row over sex offender
The home secretary condemned a police force last night that had warned social media users not to “misgender” a convicted paedophile who identified as a woman.
Suella Braverman accused Sussex police of playing “identity politics” just days after writing to chief constables telling them to reverse the perception that they care more about “woke” issues than tackling crime.

Nets Yawn at Bloody Violence in Soros-Backed DA’s Philly
Another day, another spasm of violence in Philadelphia, a major city where George Soros spent $1.7 million to elect far-left Democrat District Attorney Larry Krasner. Yet, typically, the networks on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning mostly ignored the shooting of five teenagers at a local Philadelphia high school.
‘Jackie are you here? Where’s Jackie?’ Moment Biden asks if Republican Rep. Walorski is in crowd during DC speech – one month after she died in a car crash and HE paid official tribute
President Joe Biden asked a crowd at a hunger conference to point out Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski – after she was killed in a car crash in Indiana last month.
Biden, 79, named the late congresswoman while thanking lawmakers from both parties for their efforts in helping his plan to end hunger in the United States by 2030 in a Washington D.C. speech on Wednesday.
‘Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?’ the president asked during the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health in Washington, DC after also praising Senators Mike Braun, a Republican, and Cory Booker, a Democrat.
‘Use tampons to staunch bullet wounds’, Russian army recruits told
New recruits to the Russian army are being told to ask their wives and girlfriends for tampons to use as bandages in the event they get shot, as military supplies run out.
In a video circulating on social media, a woman who has been identified as a military doctor can be seen giving what appears to be an introductory speech to new recruits.
In it, she tells them the army is woefully short on military equipment and that only uniforms will be supplied.
Unbelievable video. Russian officer telling newly mobilized men they will need to source their own sleeping bags, med packs. Tells them to go buy tampons from pharmacies to use as bandages.
“The only thing the army gives you in uniforms, armor. That’s it.”pic.twitter.com/zwttL586zu— Patrick Reevell (@Reevellp) September 27, 2022
What is the Khalistan referendum, and why is India is so concerned about what’s happening in Canada?
The Modi government has issued its sharpest statement yet over what it calls “anti-India activities” originating from Canada, expressing its concern and disappointment over Ottawa’s apparent lack of action on the matter.
It comes after thousands of Canadian Sikhs took part in an unofficial voting exercise earlier this week dubbed the “Khalistan referendum”, expressing their support for a separate Sikh nation-state to split away from New Delhi in northern India.
While the Canadian authorities have defended this as an exercise in freedom of speech, the Indian foreign ministry has accused Canada of allowing extremists to carry out “deeply objectionable” and “politically-motivated exercises” that represent a threat to the integrity of India.
College student ‘forced into sex’ by woman who was bigger than him, court told
A man has accused a “bigger” and “stronger” woman of forcing him to have sex with her without consent, a court heard.
Imogen Brooke allegedly refused to take no for an answer after going on a date with a college student, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The “very drunk” 30-year-old got on top of the man, whose protests were going “in one ear and out the other,” and started to have sex with him, a jury heard.
Truth or bluff? Why Putin’s nuclear warnings have the West worried
LONDON, Sept 28 (Reuters) – President Vladimir Putin’s latest warning that he is ready to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia amid the war in Ukraine has made a troubling question much more urgent: Is the former KGB spy bluffing?
Putin cautioned it was no bluff, and Western politicians, diplomats and nuclear weapons experts are divided. Some say he could use one or more smaller, tactical nuclear weapons to try to stave off military defeat, protect his presidency, scare off the West or intimidate Kyiv into capitulation.

Biden’s America: Retailers Opt for Empty Shelves To Prevent Theft
Many retailers are emptying their shelves across the country, but not because of low stock. A concerning increase in thefts has pushed companies to put more products under lock and key, the Wall Street Journal reports.
At one Best Buy store in the suburbs of Houston, where hundreds of items like Bose speakers and Fitbit activity trackers used to sit on the shelves, shoppers will instead find small blue signs that read, “This product kept in secured location.”
British police fear weapons from Ukraine war could reach the UK and terrorists
British police are “working closely” to ensure that weapons from the Ukrainian war do not reach the UK and find their way into the hands of terrorists.
Metropolitan Police deputy assistant commissioner Matt Twist said the conflict was one of several “international challenges” affecting security in the UK.
Speaking at the International Security Expo in London on Tuesday, he added: “Whatever the outcome of this awful conflict, it is clear that over the medium term there will be huge amounts of weapons and ammunition in the region, which will take some time to stabilise and normalise when the phase of outright war ends.
