Why is Insulate Britain being allowed to cause so much disruption?

The police have treated these eco-loons with kid gloves and the public has had enough of it.

Finally, Insulate Britain has raised a good point. Why aren’t we in prison, the protest movement is asking itself? Apparently the road-blocking middle-class irritants are in a state of ‘absolute disbelief’ that they have been allowed to cause so much disruption without being banged up. You and me both, lads. ‘We assumed that we would not be allowed to carry on disrupting the motorway network to the extent that we have been. We thought that people would basically be in prison’, a gobsmacked spokesman said. That sound you can hear is millions of people murmuring in agreement that it is truly bizarre that these eco-loons have been able to break the law and inconvenience vast swathes of the population without spending so much as a night in the slammer.

General Says U.S. Intel Report on Risks of Doing Business With China ‘Doesn’t Go Far Enough’

He said that we should ensure the U.S. corporate sector is acting in accord with American interests.

On Thursday, the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, which is part of the Office of Director of National Intelligence, issued a report warning American companies about the risks of doing business with Chinese firms in five critical industries: artificial intelligence, bioeconomy, quantum information science and technology, semiconductors, and autonomous systems.

The slippery semantics of Anthony Fauci

Fauci’s absolutist answer on gain-of-function research from May has proven to be false

“Ido not have any accounting of what the Chinese may have done, and I’m fully in favor of any further investigation of what went on in China. However, I will repeat again: the NIH and NIAID categorically has not funded ‘gain-of-function’ research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

That was Dr Anthony Fauci during a May 2021 congressional hearing. It kicked off a months-long national media effort to frame questions around gain-of-function research and US-taxpayer-funded virus manipulation as a Royal Rumble between Fauci and Senator Rand Paul.

O’Toole attacks Trudeau’s ‘inexperienced’ cabinet as a threat to national unity

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole tore into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new cabinet lineup today, saying he’s assembled a group of “largely inexperienced and ideological individuals” that pose a threat to the country’s national unity and post-pandemic economic recovery.

In a statement released as ministers were still being sworn in at Rideau Hall, O’Toole said Trudeau’s cabinet picks are “yet another example” of his “record of style over substance.”

Sabrina Maddeaux: Cabinet shuffle shows Liberals don’t care about soaring housing prices

It’s the question on every Canadian’s lips– or at least every Canadian shut out of affordable housing thanks to the market’s obscene price escalation under Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. Does the re-elected prime minister and his coterie of home-owning and house-flipping MPs actually give a damn about whether housing is affordable for anyone who isn’t already wealthy? If his latest cabinet appointments are any indication, the answer is a resounding “no.”

Soros Bankrolls Far-Left Group at Heart of Anti-Semitism Scandal

Soros gives millions to Sunrise Movement which refuses to rally with Jewish organizations

Left-wing billionaire George Soros is bankrolling the political arm of the Sunrise Movement, a far-left group engulfed in an anti-Semitism controversy after its Washington, D.C., chapter said it will no longer hold rallies with Jewish organizations.

As part of his eight-figure cash infusion during the 2020 election cycle Soros’s Democracy PAC gave $250,000 to Sunrise Movement’s political action committee, according to Federal Election Commission filings reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Sunrise PAC also received $500,000 from the far-left dark money group the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which received $9.6 million from the Soros-run Open Society Policy Center in 2019. Those two donations constituted nearly a third of the $2.35 million Sunrise PAC raised from Jan. 1, 2019, to Dec. 31, 2020.

The fall of Green Party leader Annamie Paul. What happened behind the scenes

Angry Black woman. Power-hungry. Putting on a performance. This is how Annamie Paul’s staff say she was described by members of the Green Party.

In the days leading up to the 2021 election campaign, Paul, the first Black and Jewish woman to ever lead a federal party, assured Canadians heading to the polls that she was in control of her party. But on the inside, crying, stress and micro-aggressions were more the norm, say Paul’s team members.

Paul resigned on Sept. 27, just ten months into her tenure. Now, members of her staff are painting a bleak picture of what it was like for the newly minted Green leader, saying she was set up to fail and received no support from her predecessor, Elizabeth May.

Prince Andrew given deadline to face questions in Virginia Giuffre case

Prince Andrew must make himself available to answer questions under oath by 14 July next year in a civil lawsuit brought by a woman who has accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager.

While not specified in the court papers, the Duke of York and his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, are both expected to answer questions under oath. Depositions must be completed on or before 14 July, said the district judge Lewis Kaplan, who serves in the southern district of New York.

The Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations will take place in June, potentially setting up a clash with the duke’s legal issues over the summer.

Zuckerberg claims Facebook is victim of ‘coordinated media effort’ to tarnish its image with leaked documents

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed back against the recent slew of bad press about the tech giant, blaming a “coordinated effort” by the media to “paint a false picture” of the company by “selectively [using] leaked documents.”

During Facebook’s third-quarter earnings call on Monday, Zuckerberg told investors that the ongoing spate of reportage based on leaked documents from whistleblower Frances Haugen and others was not “good-faith criticism.” He claimed that the news coverage did not reflect the company’s efforts to curb hate speech and disinformation, noting that Facebook was not the “main driver” of societal polarization.

Black voters in two of America’s most liberal cities sour on calls to ‘defund the police’

Marques Warren got a late-night phone call at his Seattle home last year during racial justice riots and it turned him against the idea of “defund the police.”

The call came from the security alarm company for the liquor store he owns downtown. A break-in was in progress.

Amid the mayhem of protests over the killing of George Floyd, sensors on the store’s plate-glass windows detected the repeated blows of people trying to smash their way in. Mr. Warren quickly answered “yes” when the security company asked if he wanted them to call the police.

Refusing Prevent deradicalistion course should be an offence, says terror expert

A counter-terrorism expert who advised ministers on prison extremism has called for failing to co-operate with the Government’s Prevent deradicalistion programme to be made a criminal offence.

Ian Acheson, a former prison governor who advised the Justice Secretary on controlling extremists behind bars, said the scheme had developed a “parish hall mentality” and become “blunted by layers of bureaucracy”.

He said another flaw was a misplaced attempt to equate the far-Right threat with the much greater danger posed by Islamists — saying “the body count doesn’t lie” — and a similarly flawed focus on “safeguarding” those referred to the scheme.
