Keir Starmer, the leader of the opposition Labour Party, claimed on Sunday that people should not say only women have a cervix, calling it “not right,” after one of his MPs received threats online for making the statement.
When asked by BBC presenter Andrew Marr whether it was “transphobic to say only women have a cervix,” Starmer replied, “It’s something that shouldn’t be said. It’s not right.”
After years of denying the imprisonment of the two Michaels for espionage had anything to do with the arrest of Meng for fraud, China seemed to have dropped the charade. This was hostage diplomacy, and it looked to have paid off.
“I am shocked at what happened yesterday, genuinely shocked,” said Stephanie Carvin, associate professor of international relations at Carlton University. “China has been doing everything it can to try and make the case that the two incidents are completely separate. By letting the two Michaels go, even before Michael Kovrig had his sentence handed down, it just shows exactly what this is about.”
Only an academic “expert” could be “genuinely shocked” about China’s machinations.
Ontario reports 653 new COVID-19 cases, 6 more virus-related deaths
Ontario is reporting another week-over-week decline in its daily COVID-19 case count with fewer than 700 new infections confirmed over the past 24 hours.
Provincial health officials logged 653 new COVID-19 cases today, up slightly from 640 on Saturday but down from 715 one week ago.
When will the pandemic be over in Ontario? Here’s what scientists say
More than 80 per cent of eligible Ontarians have now been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and, with the possibility that vaccines will be offered to young children in the coming months, the pandemic’s familiar wave-after-wave pattern of new infections could soon calm.
Scientists believe that as more people increase their immunity to the virus either through vaccination or infection, cases in Ontario are on track to drop to endemic levels as early as spring, provided of course that a more transmissible and vaccine-evasive variant doesn’t rear its head in the meantime.

I doubt that we’ll see a lot of leftists protesting against Wall Street titans bullying local governments now that the most powerful capitalist entities are joining to progressive racial agenda. Some Wall Street bullying is more equal than other bullying, it would seem. But this article from Bloomberg gives me the willies...
Meanwhile the threats to America and Americans increase.
Voltaire was the nom de plume of famed French philosopher François-Marie Arouet. We will begin today by considering the sage advice encapsulated in his quote, “Those who make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Purveyors of absurdities unmask themselves when their statements are laced with contradictions and demonstrate hypocrisy. Seeking out those examples of hypocrisy and contradictions can serve as an effective “BS detector!”
Parents in Wigan, England, have been left fearful as male migrants hosted in a local hotel are accused of roaming the community harassing underage girls and filming them through schoolyard fences.
Tucker Carlson blasted the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) during an interview published Friday over the partisan organization’s calls for Fox News to fire the host.
“Oh, f*** them,” Carlson bluntly told host Megan Kelly. “The ADL was such a noble organization that had a very specific goal, which was to fight anti-Semitism. That’s a virtuous goal. I think they were pretty successful over the years. Now it’s operated by a guy who’s … just an apparatchik of the Democratic Party.”
The prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, is in hot water over its latest issue. A quote on the cover from a senior editor has triggered widespread outrage on social media for “dehumanizing” and “erasing” women.
“Historically, the anatomy and physiology of bodies with vaginas have been neglected,” says the pull quote on the cover of its latest issue, with a publication date of September 25.
How much more frightening will this conspiracy get? Now, according to court documents reported by JusttheNews.com, we learn that The Dark Lord himself, George Soros, paid for his own investigator to work for the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee to plant the fake Trump-Russia story–and that then-Senator John McCain let him do it.
How much more do we need to learn about 2016 to realize the agency is a disaster?
In ignoring the latest John Durham indictment, most of the media and official Washington are ignoring the elephant between its lines: the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mr. Durham, the special counsel appointed to investigate the government’s handling of the Russia collusion mess, levels a single criminal charge against Michael Sussmann, then a lawyer for the Democrat-linked firm Perkins Coie. In delivering to the FBI fanciful evidence of Trump-Russia collusion a few weeks before the 2016 election, Mr. Sussmann is alleged to have lied to the FBI’s chief lawyer, James Baker, claiming he was acting on his own behalf and not as a paid agent of the Clinton campaign.
There are plenty of celebratory headlines to go around about Friday’s release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor from Chinese prisons, however it’d be a mistake to misconstrue the event as a win for Western democracies. This was not a happy ending, but rather an escalation of China’s unapologetic bully tactics on the international stage.
Marvel Studios’ new ‘woke’ president Victoria Alonso is considering dropping the ‘Men’ from ‘X-Men’ to make the brand name more ‘inclusive.’
In a recent interview with Nuke the Fridge, Alonso, who just four days ago was promoted to president of Physical, Post Production, VFX, and Animation, ‘hinted that internal thinking is that the name ‘X-Men’ isn’t sufficiently inclusive.’
‘I don’t know where the future is going. It’s funny that people call it the X-Men, there’s a lot of female superheroes in that X-Men group, so I think it’s outdated,’ she said.
ON September 21, 1780, during the American Revolution, an American general named Benedict Arnold discussed handing over the military fort at West Point with British Major John André. His price was £10,000 and a commission in the British Army.
Arnold’s plan was foiled and he fled. André was less fortunate; he was captured, given a swift military trial, and hanged. Arnold subsequently led British troops against his compatriots in Virginia and Connecticut. He quit his country to live in London, where he died, aged 60, in 1801. Never trusted by the British, he did not receive the monies and positions he expected.
A video posted to Twitter on Friday shows a crowd of people shouting at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as she walks into Queen’s University in Belfast to be inaugurated as the school’s new chancellor.
