CNN hosts get incredibly overwrought about Republicans underplaying the January 6 riot as a tourist visit that got out of hand. But they have no resistance whatsoever to comparing January 6 to 9/11. Then on today’s Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter trotted out the Jonestown massacre of 1978, where about 900 members of the People’s Temple committed a mass suicide under orders from Jim Jones. Hard-core MAGA fans apparently would do that for Trump.
DORI, Burkina Faso (AP) — Awoken by gunshots in the middle of the night, Fatima Amadou was shocked by what she saw among the attackers: children.
Guns slung over their small frames, the children chanted “Allahu akbar,” as they surrounded her home in Solhan town in Burkina Faso’s Sahel region. Some were so young they couldn’t even pronounce the words, Arabic for “God is great,” said the 43-year-old mother.
“When I saw the kids, what came to my mind was that (the adults) trained these kids to be assassins, and they came to kill my children,” Amadou told The Associated Press by phone from Sebba town, where she now lives.
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that white Democrats “are so afraid of being called insufficiently anti-racist” that they’re afraid to talk common sense, and “it’s an indulgence to be impractical. It’s the ultimate example of white privilege.”
Not all heroes wear capes, and some of them don’t look like we think.
Facebook cannot abide by this. In their version of the world, heroes to be honored must fit their goals of intersectionality and racial equity. Especially if the hero happens to be a police officer. That’s already far enough out of their paradigm; but when the officer is white? Well…
TOKYO (AP) — Simone Biles will not defend her Olympic gold medal on floor exercise.
USA Gymnastics announced Sunday that the six-time Olympic medalist has opted not to compete on floor, where she won gold in Rio de Janeiro and placed second in qualifying last week.
Jennifer Gadirova of Britain will replace Biles in the finals, which are scheduled for Monday.
OK, I get the abuse/mental health thing. I get she has leave from the IOC to take restricted meds for ADHD. But you can’t help but wonder if something else is going on.
The crisis at our southern borders is about to get much worse. The Mexican government has stopped accepting non-Mexican families as refugees which has led to an increase in illegal aliens being held in detention.
According to the owner of the goat, five men kidnapped the animal tied in front of his house on July 24 and took it to a deserted area a few kilometers away.
“They tied the goat’s legs and mouth and kept raping her until it died,” Azhar Hussain said. The animal was taken to a veterinary hospital in the neighbourhood where its post-mortem report corroborated the rape.
A case under sections 377 [unnatural offences] and 429 [mischief by killing or maiming cattle, etc., of any value or any animal of the value of fifty rupees] of the Pakistan Penal Code has been registered.
Faisalabad imam arrested for attempted rape of two girls
The imam of a mosque in Faisalabad has been arrested after a video of him trying to rape two small girls inside went viral on social media.
The girls are five and seven years old.
Police said that they received the information that the attack took place in Chak 59GB of District Faisalabad.
Locals identified the man in the video. The imam was arrested and an FIR was registered under Sections 376 (for rape), 511 and 295 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
The coronavirus pandemic in the US has been accompanied by soaring gun sales attributed to fears around social unrest and crime and, in some cases, people having more time for hunting.
But now ammunition has fallen into short supply.
Manufacturers say they are producing as much as they can but in many gun stores shelves are sparse and prices are concurrently rising.
Millions of Americans could find themselves homeless starting Sunday when a nationwide ban on evictions expires, even as billions in government funds meant to help them go untapped.
The wave of evictions would come as the fast-spreading Delta variant has taken hold in the country and rental housing is in high demand in the hot real estate market.
US President Joe Biden on Thursday urged Congress to extend the 11-month-old eviction moratorium, after a recent Supreme Court ruling meant the White House could not extend the measure through September as intended.
OTTAWA—The poles holding up the federal Conservatives’ big blue tent are wobbling, raising questions about whether the huff and puff of the next election could just blow it down.
Multiple party sources tell the Toronto Star discussions within their ranks these days bring to mind the early 2000s and a fractured right that rendered conservatives incapable of taking down the governing Liberals.
“Everyone is mad on all sides,” said one senior conservative operative speaking on the condition of anonymity due to their work on campaigns.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? The CPC has been turned into LPC 2.0.
Men calling themselves women? Erin is for it and mind those pronouns h8tr!.
Free trade? The 3rd world needs your jobs and Erin will make sure they get them.
Carbon tax? Our green-scam is not a tax says Erin.
Anti-Abortion? Not in the CPC you aren’t.
Multicult & Diversity? Faggedaboutit! The CPC is as vested in identity politics as Trudeau. Now step aside as we erase your heritage.
Mass immigration? No different than the Liberals. The goal is to swamp the nation with whoever they can convince to come here, all to please their corporate masters desire to suppress wages and profit from shortages and maybe finagle a few “ethnic” votes for the party.
“A smaller piece of a shrinking pie for you” may as well be the CPC election slogan, it would be the only honest one.
When Katherine Hannah and Zahra Musaji first started at the Canadian Security and Intelligence Agency back in 1999, they couldn’t have told you what colour the carpet was on the management levels.
Hannah said they were told at the time that women didn’t work in counterterrorism at CSIS — that they were supposed to work in human resources.
“There wasn’t a lot of diversity. It was hard to see how you fit,” said Musaji.
Funny, but I don’t feel safer.

Ontario is reporting more than 200 new cases of COVID-19 once again as it’s rolling seven-day average continues to slowly rise.
The Ministry of Health says that there were 218 new instances of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus confirmed on Saturday.
Ontario’s rolling-seven day average of new cases now stands at 189. That metric has increased on each of the last six days after previously being on a steady decline for months.
BONOKOSKI: Beating back of sensical thinking during pandemic crisis
The trumping of common sense by politics has always been a bane.
What makes no sense is suddenly sensible — at least to the political party in power trying to jerry-rig a crisis.
No party exemplifies this today better than the Trudeau Liberals.
July 30, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Canada’s Federal government released plans Thursday to create a “Digital Safety Commissioner” who would have the power to shut down websites deemed a threat to “democracy,” and to promote content deemed “harmful.”
“Canadians expect their government to take action against serious forms of harmful content online. We need to create new rules for social media platforms and online services to address harmful online content and hold individuals accountable, while respecting the importance of freedom of expression in a free and democratic society,” said Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada David Lametti in a press release regarding the government launch of a “public consultation on a proposed approach for promoting a safe, inclusive and open online environment.”
The Liberal party government is a corrupt enemy of freedom.
The freedom to engage in debate and challenge conventional thinking and wisdoms were not always accepted as human rights.
Philosophically the notion has existed for millennia with the most modern interpretations gaining their foothold in Greek debating chambers.
It has changed shape frequently and even been snuffed out by leaders of more totalitarian persuasions.
If a society was lucky, it returned. If not, poverty, starvation and horror tended to follow.
YouTube and the rest of the Big Tech menace must be brought to heel.
