“Putin’s assault has been so vicious that we all now understand that the world’s democracies — including our own — can be safe only once the Russian tyrant and his armies are entirely vanquished.”

Bumbling Joe Biden is a threat to world peace
Referring to the war in Ukraine as a ‘genocide’ is wrong and dangerous.
Bumbling Joe Biden isn’t funny anymore. It might be amusing when your crazy uncle blurts out something unexpected at a family dinner. But when the most powerful man on Earth does it? Not so much. Yesterday, ‘in passing’, as the Guardian put it, President Biden referred to Russia’s war in Ukraine as a ‘genocide’. This might just be the dumbest, most ill-advised and lethally consequential thing Biden has said since taking office.
Has the Right’s March Through the Institutions Begun?
Elon Musk’s potential hostile takeover of Twitter is only one data point in a growing trend.
You likely haven’t noticed this, but there is an awful lot of evidence out there that the Left is beginning to lose the institutions they’ve spent the past couple of decades seizing control over.
Or maybe you have noticed it. If so, it could be that what’s going on with Elon Musk and Twitter might have provided the clue that got you started thinking about this.
Killing Fields of Wind Energy Cannot Be Ignored
On the irony of self-proclaimed guardians of the earth promoting a regressive—even primitive—energy technology that is killing millions of the planet’s creatures.
ANextEra subsidiary’s recent revelation of the mass killing of bald and golden eagles exposed the ugly secret that nearly all wind projects share: the wanton destruction of rare and endangered species. On April 5, in a case brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, ESI Energy pleaded guilty to killing more than 150 eagles in eight states. The company was fined $8 million.
Rupa Subramanya: Pierre Poilievre is popular for a reason
The truly dangerous populists are on the left
As the Conservative leadership campaign kicks into high gear, Pierre Poilievre has solidified his position as the front-runner, and unless there’s some unexpected shift, he’s likely to win the race. This should be no surprise for those who’ve followed his rise in the Conservative party. Unlike ousted leader Erin O’Toole, who tried desperately to be Trudeau lite and only succeeded in alienating his own base without winning over anyone else, Poilievre is an unabashed conservative who is not afraid of taking conservative positions on a range of issues ranging from the economy to gun control and everything in between.
Lawyer free to practise after inappropriate conduct with jailed Muslim terrorist client, tribunal rules
A Toronto criminal defence lawyer who admitted to professional misconduct for engaging in inappropriate behaviour with a client in custody on a terrorism charge is back in full unrestricted practice.
A Law Society of Ontario tribunal decision issued in February imposed a retroactive two-month suspension on Rishma Gupta, but ruled she doesn’t require further punishment due to her circumstances and remorse.
Another good reason lawyers should not discipline their own.
Why it’s reasonable to call Trudeau a modern-day socialist
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, alongside other national and provincial leaders, can rightly be called a “socialist” in the modern sense.
Socialism, at its core, remains an ideology of the benefits of top-down decision-making by elites, for and in the interests of the collective. Over time, the meaning of socialism has changed and evolved. Its original conception — and technical definition — is state ownership of the means of production, namely factories, machinery, etc. For the most part, there are very few socialists who now advocate for the government to nationalize industries.
Trudeau is a Shitsolist.
WTF?
Letting kids choose their gender identity is now “consent.” Parents who let kids "choose their gender" are child abusers. pic.twitter.com/vVKcDxXPZC

A harrowing account of life and death in ISIS captivity
Syria’s civil war was raging in March 2013 when black vehicles cut off an Italian aid worker’s car in the north of the country. Masked gunmen forced Federico Motka and a colleague into the trunk of a car and sped off.
“Welcome to Syria, you mutt,” Motka recalled one of the captors ominously telling the aid workers in British-accented English, before they were driven to a camp of Islamist militants who were battling the Syrian regime.
This was the beginning of 14 months of torment for Motka and other foreigners held by a group that would soon be known worldwide as the Islamic State. In Alexandria federal court, Motka testified that he grew to fear the British-accented man and two others from England the most. Captives dubbed them “the Beatles.”

No Conspiracy Theory – Parents are right to worry about sexual abuse of students by school officials
In the wake of the controversy surrounding Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation, which prohibits public schools from teaching gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade, the national media has sought to paint conservative opposition as hysterical, anti-LGBTQ, and conspiracy-minded. The New York Times, for example, accused conservatives of having a “freakout” about imaginary “grooming” in public schools, and the Washington Post dismissed concerns about sexual abuse by teachers as a “QAnon conspiracy.”
‘Stacks Of Evidence’: Lawyer Who Prosecuted Milosevic Says Russians Could Be Tried For War Crimes In Ukraine
A veteran human rights lawyer who prosecuted the trial of former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic says Russians could be tried for war crimes over their actions in Ukraine.
Geoffrey Nice, who prosecuted several cases at The Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), told RFE/RL’s Balkan Service that building a war crimes indictment relating to Ukraine “is a substantial task” but “not necessarily” difficult.
UN General Assembly majority greenlights Russia’s rape of Ukraine
Results of the vote to suspend Russia from the UNHRC show again that the UN General Assembly has completely lost its moral compass.
The UN General Assembly completely lost its moral compass when it voted on 7 April for Russia’s suspension from the Human Rights Council – with only 93 of its 193 member Nations voting to do so.
Federal government paid $20M for Ottawa company’s COVID-19 test that flopped and was never delivered
OTTAWA — The federal government pre-paid $20 million for COVID-19 tests from Ottawa-based Spartan Bioscience that it never received because they never worked as promised, according to new documents.
Beverly Hills bandits: Gangs are targeting city’s rich and famous
A group of at least 17 gangs targeting Los Angeles’ wealthiest are responsible for the city’s recent string of ‘follow-home’ robberies, cops said Tuesday.
‘In my 34 years in the LAPD, I have never seen this type of criminal behavior in such large groups coordinating to conduct attacks on unsuspecting citizens to take their property and/or vehicles,’ said Capt. Jonathan Tippet of the attacks, which started in September.
In November, Tippet was tabbed to head a division designed to combat the robberies – Follow Home Robbery Task Force – which has seen armed suspects stalk victims leaving ritzy boutiques, hotels, and restaurants before striking.
‘Absolutely right’ to call Russia’s actions in Ukraine genocide says Jackass who thinks it’s understandable to burn churches over false mass grave claims
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters he thinks it’s “absolutely right” more people are using the word genocide to describe Russia’s actions in Ukraine, but stopped short of using the word himself.
“There are official processes around determinations of genocide, but I think it’s absolutely right that more people be talking and using the word genocide in terms of what Russia is doing, what Vladimir Putin has done,” Trudeau said at a news conference in Laval, Que.
