Australia Northern Territory Goes Another Step Further, Unvaxxed Are Now Locked Out of Society

We have discussed this guy before. [HERE and HERE and HERE]. Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner is a fast-talking little man of notoriously intemperate disposition who will not allow any criticism of his totalitarian tendencies. Gunner has promised to be as brutal as needed to stop COVID spread in the region. He will accept no vocal dissent to his mandates from citizens in the state. All vaccine hesitant citizens are considered enemies of the state, and now subject to arrest if they voice any objection.

In Canada you can literally make billions stealing bread from the mouths of children and never serve a night in jail

MANDEL: Billion-dollar class action wins go-ahead against alleged nationwide bread price-fixing

Millions of Canadian sandwich makers could soon be sharing in a huge pile of dough.

An Ontario judge has given the green light to a class-action lawsuit against the major players in the $40-billion packaged bread market — including Loblaw, Sobeys and Metro — for an alleged 20-year price-fixing scheme. The cartel of manufacturers and grocery chains are accused of colluding to inflate the price of “soft top” sandwich loaves like Wonder Bread and pocketing about $5 billion in ill-gotten gains.

Why is no one in jail for this?

He said Transport Canada is taking the situation “extremely seriously” and would be continuing its investigation.

Most Canadians Opposed to Vaccine Passports, Says Internal Government Polling

Private polling by the federal government shows that most Canadians are opposed to vaccine passports, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

The independent media outlet quoted a report titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection of Canadians’ Views,” which was produced for the Privy Council Office (PCO), the body advising the prime minister.

Essential services across Canada hit by staff shortages due to COVID-19

Emergency services in many major Canadian cities are facing staffing shortages due to a surge in COVID-19 cases across the country, with police, ambulance and fire all scrambling to redeploy and bolster their ranks.

The highly transmissible Omicron variant is already forcing small and large business across Canada to close their doors as infected or potentially infected employees are forced into isolation. But staff shortages are also becoming an issue for some emergency services.

Seven Hours in January Was Not Seven Days in May

As the Congressional Select Committee winds its way to its pre-ordained conclusion that what happened at the Capitol last year was an attempt by former President Trump, every elected Republican, anyone who has ever worn a red hat (MAGA-emblazoned or not), and everyone who has ever stayed at a hotel to overthrow the government, it should be noted — quite clearly and succinctly — that seven hours in January was not Seven Days in May.

The elite war on biological sex

Transgender ideology is relentlessly promoted by the elites – despite huge opposition from ordinary people.

For thousands of years, the biological distinction between male and female was considered a simple fact of life. But no more. According to a survey by pollsters Rasmussen Reports, a significant minority of Americans reject the claim that male and female are the only two genders.

While 75 per cent of those polled agree that there are only two genders, 18 per cent disagree. Eighteen per cent may be a clear minority, but as a proportion of Americans it is still a substantial number of people.

AOC and the self-absorbed left

Feminism has taught too many women that narcissism is desirable

Raise your glass to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who hypocritically escaped record Covid cases in her home state of New York to drink cocktails and attend a drag brunch in free Florida. It’s not uncommon for a politician’s vacation to become the subject of national criticism, but in response, AOC has managed to deploy the worst communications strategy since “hiking the Appalachian trail” became code for banging your mistress in Argentina.

After being called out on Twitter for her newly attained snowbird status — and her boyfriend’s gaudy choice in footwear — AOC declared that her critics are just upset that they don’t get to sleep with her.

White Coats for Black Queer Abolitionist Socialism

A national organization of medical students successfully pressures their schools to embrace radical identity politics.

On June 25, 2021, White Coats for Black Lives (WC4BL), a national organization of medical students, published its statement of “vision and values.” The “dominant medical practice in the United States has been built on the dehumanization and exploitation of Black people,” the document read, and WC4BL exists to rid the medical system of this allegedly pervasive racism. Doing so requires not only “dismantling anti-Black racism, white supremacy, capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, and cisheteropatriarchy,” but also “dismantling fatphobia,” embracing “Black queer feminist praxis,” and “unlearning toxic medical knowledge.”

Another set of panicked headlines about incels

The media is determined to identify a new danger to society

Earlier this week, The Times rang in the New Year with a story titled “Massive rise in use of incel sites that call for women to be raped.” The Guardian and then The Independent quickly followed suit.

Each piece remained true to the formula: it begins with the news peg, in this case, an apparent “spike” in UK traffic to “hate-filled incel forums,” which has risen from 114,420 to 638,505 between March and November of last year according to the Centre for Countering Digital Hate.

The GoFundMe Scam of the Century and the Leftist Press

The Walt Disney owned Hulu film company premiered a new one hour documentary on December 21, 2021 entitled “No Good Deed—A crowdfunding Holiday Heist.” The film, produced in Philadelphia by two 6ABC news reporters, explored one of the greatest scams to hit the world of GoFundMe fundraising: How three people, Mark D’Amico, Kate McClure and a homeless veteran named Johnny Bobbitt concocted a heartwarming tale to get the public to donate to a GoFundMe in Bobbitt’s honor as a reward for Bobbitt’s giving up his last twenty dollars to help McClure when she ran out of gas in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond neighborhood.

Army War College suggests ‘Broken Nest’ strategy for deterring a Chinese invasion of Taiwan

“I’ve written before about China’s increasingly brazen indications that it plans to force a “reunification” with Taiwan sometime in the not-so-distant future. For its part, Taiwan is clearly worried about the possibility China could overwhelm its defenses but remains defiant. The US has been selling Taiwan arms, sending warships through the Taiwan strait and even training Taiwanese troops. All of it raises the possibility of a real confrontation over Taiwan, one that could be extremely costly to both China and the US.

Would Taiwan agree to a scorched earth policy?

Biden Slouches towards Catastrophe in Ukraine

The White House is writing off an ally to appease an enemy.

The situation in Ukraine has become very grave.

On December 17, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin sent U.S. president Joe Biden an ultimatum, effectively demanding that NATO abandon Eastern Europe or face military action. Biden agreed to a phone conversation with Putin to talk it over, giving the Kremlin what it sought: The affected countries were now on the table instead of at the table. When the two then talked on December 30, according to the White House, Biden rejected the ultimatum and informed Putin that if he proceeded to invade Ukraine, he would face strong economic sanctions from the U.S. and its European partners. Putin then countered by saying that such sanctions would result in a “complete rupture in relations” between Russia and the U.S.

This is not a surprise. Ukraine or Taiwan, who will be first?

LGBTQ movement is losing trans-athlete debate: Transgender Law Center

UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas may be smashing records and winning races against women, but LGBTQ advocates say the transgender-athlete issue is a loser.

A Transgender Law Center “messaging guide” posted online last month found that no matter how the issue was framed, “no arguments we tested bested the opposition in a direct debate on sports policy.”

MRU fires professor who espoused benefits of residential schools and criticized BLM movement

A tenured Calgary professor who made headlines in 2020 for criticizing the Black Lives Matter movement and espousing the educational benefits of residential schools confirmed Tuesday she has been fired.

Frances Widdowson had been an associate professor at Mount Royal University in the department of economics, justice and policy studies since 2008.

She gained notoriety in 2020, when she said the Black Lives Matter movement had “destroyed” the university, that residential schools gave Indigenous children an education that “normally they wouldn’t have received,” and that tens of MRU faculty members had opposed her.
