The Queen says she misses her ‘beloved’ late husband Philip – remembering his ‘mischievous twinkle’ and lamenting ‘one familiar laugh is missing’ this year
The Queen has delivered her most emotional Christmas message ever, paying tribute to her ‘beloved’ late husband Prince Philip and revealing how the Duke of Edinburgh’s ‘mischievous, enquiring twinkle was as bright at the end as when I first set eyes on him’.
The monarch described that there was ‘one familiar laugh missing’ during the festive season this year as she made her most fulsome public tribute to her husband of 73 years and the nation’s longest-serving consort since his death in April aged 99.
Young Brits want gay, black or female Santa – poll
“Age is the key factor among the wider public, with the youngest Britons – those aged 18-24 – supporting a gay Santa by 60% to 20%,” reads a report by YouGov, which conducted the poll on December 14-15.
Findings show that the majority of Britons older than 65 “cannot tolerate a homosexual Father Christmas, by 58% to 24%.”
Provinces warn record COVID-19 cases reported are underestimations
Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia reported record high COVID-19 case counts on Christmas Eve as Nunavut ordered a full lockdown to prevent further spread of the virus.
Health officials across the country warned the latest numbers are an underestimation and a sign of what is yet to come, and again urged people to rethink large gatherings over the holidays.
Catholic priest tells parishioners who have refused to get jab they are NOT welcome at church for Christmas Mass
A Catholic priest and cable TV contributor has said that unvaccinated parishioners should not gather in church for Christmas Mass because ‘we owe one another the gift of peace’ as the nation copes with the new wave of COVID cases fueled by the Omicron variant.
Father Edward Beck, who is a religious commentator for CNN, said on Friday during a segment of the network’s New Day, that he believes all churches should require proof of vaccination.
‘There’s no supply chain shortage of love and compassion. I think what we are trying to say to people is that ”you have a social responsibility if you do gather.” You know Christian churches, many are gathering this evening, and some are still not requiring vaccination, which I disagree with,’ he said.
The fightback against wokeness has begun
The classroom will be the key battleground in the 21st-century culture wars.
One of the most significant events of 2021 was the revolt of frustrated and angry parents in Virginia, against the teaching of so-called critical race theory in local schools.
The revolt precipitated the shock defeat of a one-time Virginia governor, Democrat Terry McAuliffe, at the hands of Republican Glenn Youngkin in November’s gubernatorial elections. This was not just a serious setback for the Biden presidency, in a state the Democrats won easily in 2020; it also demonstrated, perhaps for the first time in the current phase of the culture wars, that the social-engineering efforts of America’s cultural elites can be contained – and perhaps even defeated.
The White House’s bizarre White supremacist singing nurses
In 1915, Woodrow Wilson approvingly screened Birth of a Nation, a KKK homage, in the White House. That was the last time the White House has seen anything as grotesquely racist as the Biden-approved singing nurses, whose song comes from an homage to the Confederacy.

Jack Dorsey’s big idea for a crypto future
The Twitter founder’s vision could be paradise or hell on earth
Most of the commentary around Jack Dorsey’s departure from Twitter has focused around the company he leaves behind. There has not been much mention about where he’s going to.
Dorsey has resigned as CEO of Twitter in order to spend more time running Square, the other tech behemoth he founded. Now re-branded into a conglomerate called Block, this new empire could conceivably become more significant than the old.
‘Christmas’ Lights or ‘Holiday’ Lights?
The woke’s vocabulary is a weapon in their culture war.
I never had kids and when I look at Facebook friends’ photos of their own I realize that that’s probably a good thing. I am a graduate of the school of hard knocks. I know how tough life can be. Children’s dewy, defenseless skin, their huge eyes, the easy pleasure they take in puppies, dandelions, and bubbles, break my heart. As a parent, I’d be wracked by anxiety.
The Soviet Union’s Christmas Collapse Is a Joy-to-the-World Moment
Proof of God’s existence, and sense of humor, arrived as a present 30 Christmases ago in the form of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Should we all pretend to ignore that the first state explicitly founded on atheism died on the day when we celebrate Jesus’s birth? The Iron Curtain fell. But the Communist Conspiracy persists — at least it does in nudging us to dismiss what happened in 1991 as a coincidence.
The war on the unvaccinated
In 2022, we must defend bodily autonomy.
‘You’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.’ That was the stark, dystopian warning US president Joe Biden issued to the ‘unvaccinated’ earlier this week.
While the first few rounds of lockdowns, social distancing and other restrictions applied to more or less all people in the societies in which they were introduced (with only the elites able to exempt themselves), in the last few months of 2021 ever-tighter restrictions have been targeted at the unvaccinated.
Hollywood‘s Sinking Ship Sends F-List Actors Flocking to Anti-American Chinese Propaganda Films
The rapid decline of Hollywood’s share of the Chinese film market – the largest in the world as of 2020, when the Chinese coronavirus pandemic shut American cinemas and productions down – has created a small but growing market of Western actors landing big roles as the villains in communist propaganda movies.
Canadian Medical Association Journal caves to Islamist cult and retracts letter that correctly describes the Hijab as a symbol of oppression
Canadian Medical Association Journal retracts controversial hijab letter
The Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) has retracted and formally apologized for a letter it recently published about the hijab following calls from multiple organizations and individuals.
Interim editor-in-chief of the CMAJ, Dr. Kirsten Patrick, apologized on Thursday for publishing the letter, which she said “did not contain appropriate subject matter for publication” and “disgusted many readers across Canada.”
The letter, published on Dec. 20 with the headline “Don’t use an instrument of oppression as a symbol of diversity and inclusion,” was written by Montreal pediatric surgeon Dr. Sherif Emil in response to the CMAJ’s use of an image last month of two young girls, one of whom is wearing a hijab, that accompanied a piece on social interventions in primary care.
Report: Booster Shots Offer Protection Against Infection for Only 10 Weeks
A new report from Britain’s Health Security Agency found that the Covid booster shots being pushed by Joe Biden and other governments are effective against contracting the omicron variant of Covid-19 for only 10 weeks.
The effectiveness of the booster shot in preventing serious disease and death from omicron is unknown, but previous experience suggests it will provide significant protection.
