Navy ‘Tic Tac’ UFO witness demands public apology for years of ridicule

A Navy veteran who was ridiculed over the “white Tic Tac” UFO sightings in 2004 wants a public apology from the Defense Department following the long-awaited US government report about military personnel spotting other strange sightings in the sky.

In a series of Facebook posts after the report’s release on Friday, Kevin Day said his career “paid a price” after he was “laughed at, mocked, and talked about behind closed doors within [the US Department of Defense]” for trying to describe what he’d seen on his radar screen in November 2004.

After years of online abuse, Catherine McKenna leaves federal politics

After enduring a barrage of online hate and physical attacks on her constituency office during her six years as an MP, Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna announced Monday she will not run again in the next election.

McKenna — who led the contentious fight to levy a national price on carbon emissions as environment minister — has long been the target of sexist attacks over her vocal defence of climate action in the face of entrenched opposition.

But she said the hardship she has endured in politics was not the motivation for her departure. Rather, she said, she wants to spend more time with her kids after many nights away during her time in office. She said the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to “step back and reflect on what matters most.”

Laughing all the way to the bank.

School head warns of ‘righteous generation’ of children ‘entrenched in culture of outrage’ that is leaving teachers ‘walking on eggshells’ and ‘terrified to say wrong word’ in class

School head warns of ‘righteous generation’ of children ‘entrenched in culture of outrage’ that is leaving teachers ‘walking on eggshells’ and ‘terrified to say wrong word’ in class

A headmaster has warned that teachers are becoming ‘incredibly anxious’ of being pounced on by pupils over micro-aggressions.

Nicholas Hewlett, head of St Dunstan’s College private school in southeast London, said staff were worried by a ‘righteous generation’ of children who were looking for their teachers to ‘trip up’ on even ‘small, persistent slights’.

Mr Hewlett made headlines earlier this year when he announced he was ‘happily gay and in a same-sex relationship’ during a school assembly.

Don’t Dismiss the Alien Hypothesis

The United States has the most advanced aerospace capabilities of any country and spends more than twice as much on defense as Russia and China combined.

The Administration and Congress concur that these objects are not classified U.S. aircraft.

In the Nimitz incident and other cases, some of these vehicles have been observed doing things that we cannot replicate and do not understand.

Official records from the U.S. and other countries indicate that this is a global phenomenon that has been occurring since at least WW2 and perhaps far longer.

US pushes France and UK to take Isis fighters back from Iraq and Syria

US pushes France and UK to take Isis fighters back from Iraq and Syria

The continued detention of former Islamic State fighters in Iraqi and Syrian camps is untenable, and more of them must be repatriated to their home countries, the US secretary of state said at a summit of the international coalition against Isis, held in Rome.

In remarks aimed primarily at France and the UK, Antony Blinken said: “This situation is simply untenable. It just can’t persist indefinitely.

“The United States continues to urge countries – including coalition partners – to repatriate, rehabilitate and, where applicable, prosecute its citizens.”

Section 13 Rises from the Dead

The “free world” barely pretends to favor free speech these days. The triggered interns who infest the big publishing houses openly demand their employers pulp the latest manuscripts from J K Rowling and Jordan Peterson. The totalitarian wankers of the British police sit around the station all day monitoring Twitter for transphobic quips, which is far more congenial labor than getting off their flabby arses and catching criminals. The woke billionaires of social media boast openly of their success at “fortifying” the US election by memory-holing unhelpful content.

John McAfee reportedly had suicide note in pocket when found dead in Spanish cell

Cybersecurity tycoon John McAfee had a suicide note in his pocket when he was found hanged in a Spanish cell while awaiting extradition to the US, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

The eccentric 75-year-old mogul had repeatedly insisted that US officials were out to kill him and would make it look like suicide — even getting a tattoo saying “$WHACKD” to highlight the theory.

Portland’s Antifa-Loving and Police-Hating DA Vies for ‘Worst Prosecutor of the Year’ Award With His Latest Move

Portland’s Antifa-Loving and Police-Hating DA Vies for ‘Worst Prosecutor of the Year’ Award With His Latest Move

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt is considering charging another Portland police officer for hurting an antifa militant at the height of the George Floyd riots on August 31, 2020. The same DA dropped a felony assault charge and other misdemeanor charges against the same rioter – an antifa “medic” — who punched the same cop.

Adam Zivo: A University of Toronto student union is going to war in defence of anti-Semitism

In the face of accusations of anti-Semitism, a University of Toronto students’ union would rather face defunding than temper its support for the boycott, divestment and sanction movement that targets Israel. It is yet another example of how student unions, enamoured with their own tone-deaf activism, stoke anti-Semitism and endanger Jewish students.

Cost to search for unmarked graves, identify remains at residential schools could exceed $1-billion

Ottawa is fielding more than 100 requests for financial assistance from Indigenous communities intent on launching searches for unmarked graves, a volume of demand certain to deplete government funding commitments and stretch the availability of archeological expertise in the country, according to Indigenous leaders and academics.

The federal government said earlier this month it would distribute $27-million for First Nations to locate, identify and commemorate Indigenous children buried in undocumented sites of former residential schools.

Sunday on Fox News Channel’s “Life, Liberty & Levin,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) touted his state’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Ontario reports 210 new COVID-19 cases, 3 more deaths

Ontario’s daily COVID-19 case count has once again hit a more than nine-month low with just over 200 new infections confirmed today.

Provincial health officials logged 210 new cases today, down from 287 on Sunday and 346 on Saturday.


29% of Canadians broke COVID-19 restrictions, and many felt justified doing so: survey

Almost 30 per cent of respondents in a newly released Canada-wide survey admitted to breaking COVID-19 rules — and felt justified doing so.

The survey by the Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research at the University of Saskatchewan was done between June 1 and June 14. It asked 1,000 people about how closely they stuck to public health orders and where they were getting their information about the pandemic.

Some 29 per cent said they broke at least one COVID-19 restriction. The most common transgressions were around gathering limits and wearing masks.

I suspect the number is much higher.
