I like Philadelphia and I want to sympathize. I really do. But a few weeks ago voters had the opportunity to toss Soros DA Larry Krasner to the curb. Instead he won reelection by 69% to 31%.


Narco gangs have upped the propaganda stakes
In nobler times, there wasn’t just honour among thieves; besuited gangsters, freedom-fighting terrorists and even invading fascist armies would give the citizens of a town or city fair warning before they started maiming, bombing and wiping out the local population. Old-school villains and ageing counter-terrorism experts I know often speak of “putting the frighteners” on extortion victims or receiving “coded” telephone calls from the IRA: failure to comply meant “we’d have to break something” or worse.

When Black Lives Matter supporters made news in Wisconsin, they all boasted rap sheets.
Darrell Brooks Jr. really gives the face tattoo community a bad name to say nothing of Darrell Brooks Sr.
Brooks, who faces six counts of intentional homicide for driving through a Waukesha, Wisconsin, Christmas parade, really tarnishes the reputation of one group the information guardians refuse to attach him to: Black Lives Matter.

‘Top Guns’: The little-known story of the decorated Canadian WWII pilot who died mysteriously in 1948 after joining the Israeli Air Force.
One of the most successful and decorated Canadian World War II “Top Guns,” George Frederic’ Buzz’ Beurling, was born in Montreal one hundred years ago on December 6, 1921. After the war, he joined the nascent Israeli Air Force to fight in the War of Independence and was killed mysteriously in 1948: It was a lamentable end to a dazzling dream.

Given the ability of Covid-19 to make fools out of everyone, it is not entirely fair to single out an opinion piece penned by Christina Pagel and Martin McKee, members of the self-appointed ‘Independent Sage’ committee on 7 October. But it sums up an attitude which was common just seven weeks ago. ‘England, not for the first time, is the odd one out in Europe,’ they wrote. England had recklessly abandoned Covid restrictions in July, relying on vaccines alone to keep the country open. In contrast, our European neighbours were sensibly employing a ‘relatively light set of extra measures’, such as vaccine passports, to keep infections much lower than England’s. ‘They are demonstrating that there is a way to be open while keeping cases low… It works. And we should be doing it.’
That does not look like such a clever analysis now. Mainland Europe is once again the epicentre of the pandemic.

If the worsening situation in Europe is foreshadowing what’s to come, get ready, Canada
Dr. Malgorzata Gasperowicz has a routine when she gets into a taxi: she makes sure the driver is wearing a mask, rolls down the windows, then often talks to the driver about the risks of airborne transmission of COVID-19 and then gives him a KN95 mask, because most drivers don’t know about the airborne risks of the disease, she says. It’s one way she helps spread the word that the dangers inherent in this pandemic aren’t over, especially as the temperatures fall and case counts climb.

When Cambridge University withdrew his invitation to visit, we knew we had to fight back.
Aristotle called man a ‘political animal’. Perhaps he should have said a ‘censorious’ animal. Some people’s urge to shut others up seems to be as strong as the baser drives to eat, drink and copulate. That is why, in the war for free speech, victory is never permanent, though you can sometimes win a local battle or two. Jordan Peterson’s visit to Cambridge this week was such a win.

The system of getting things from A to B is broken. Fixing it will involve rethinking how pretty much everything moves.
“THE WHOLE SYSTEM is totally fucked,” says Peter Cole, owner of Australian ecommerce company Urban Plant Growers. Two months after it was due to arrive in Sydney, Cole’s $1.6 million order of hydroponic kits and lights, packed into two 40-foot shipping containers aboard a ship that set sail from Shenzhen, China, is still floating somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

The FBI has warned its employees about Havana Syndrome, a mysterious ailment that appears to have affected US diplomats and spies in several countries in recent years and manifests as a brain injury.
More than 200 US officials, from the state department, CIA and national security council (NSC), have suffered from some form of symptoms – including dizziness, nausea and headaches. The phenomenon was first identified in Cuba but has happened elsewhere.
“What do Democrats really do when they have all the power?” The New York Times asks that question in a video from earlier this month, and … Democrats and progressives will not enjoy the answer.

B.C. historian Chad Reimer’s 2018 book, Before We Lost the Lake: A Natural and Human History of Sumas Valley, makes it abundantly clear that the massive flooding that has devastated one of Canada’s most important farm and transportation regions should have come as no surprise.

The Left can’t handle the truth.
Some may puzzle at the intensity of leftist bile heaped upon Kyle Rittenhouse before and more so after his acquittal on murder charges last Friday by a jury of his peers. It surpassed the critical point post-verdict, with mainstream newspeople forsaking all vestige of reasonable commentary in favor of rabid invective to actually place their employers in litigable jeopardy. MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross, for instance, called Rittenhouse “this little murderous white supremacist” on her show, The Cross Connection, Saturday against all evidence, no doubt causing head explosions at 30 Rockefeller Center.
