How China Sees It

It seems that the European Union and the United States are now calling for a renewed investigation into the origins of the coronavirus. They are “urging” China to cooperate fully and provide “complete access.” Them’s fightin’ words! The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be quaking in its boots — especially after President Joe Biden’s national security advisor stated that the consequences of not cooperating would be international “isolation.” This half-hearted approach will not get the job done. It’s long past the time to get serious with China, and we all know it.

Why will this “powerful” unified initiative by the U.S. and its allies fail?

Canada places US rightwing militia group Three Percenters on terror list

Ottawa says group linked to Capitol attack has active presence in Canada and could threaten national security

Canada has officially named the US rightwing militia group Three Percenters as a terrorist entity alongside Isis and al-Qaida, saying it had an active presence in Canada and could threaten national security.

Earlier this month US prosecutors obtained a conspiracy indictment against six men associated with the Three Percenters, the latest in a series of such charges arising from the 6 January attack at the Capitol by Donald Trump’s supporters.

Canadian officials cited the riot and said members of the Three Percenters had been linked to a 2020 plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

Rupa Subramanya: Why are the Liberals doubling our refugee intake when so many of them end up on the streets?

Though the idea of doubling the number of asylum seekers and refugees admitted to Canada, as the Liberals intend to do, may sound nice, it ignores the reality that many of them will face poor outcomes once they arrive, residing in homeless shelters and living off the largesse of the state.

Canada’s China Class At Work: Agency head on hot seat over lab scientists’ firing has history with China ties and controversies

It’s been a tough few weeks for Iain Stewart.

As the federal government’s point man in a heated political fight, he faces parliamentary sanction for refusing to tell MPs exactly why two scientists with links to China were fired from the National Microbiology Laboratory.

This is the stuff Eisenhower warned about.

Ontario is reporting fewer than 300 new COVID-19 cases for the fifth day in a row and two more deaths on Friday.

Provincial health officials logged 256 new coronavirus infections, down from 296 on Thursday and 345 last Friday.

Step 2 in Ontario: What’s allowed to reopen?

Ontario is set to move into the next stage of its reopening plan on June 30, allowing small indoor gatherings to occur and personal care services to resume for the first time in months.

The province was originally scheduled to move to Step 2 on July 2, but, citing declining case counts and hospitalizations related to COVID-19, the government decided to move forward a few days earlier.

Miami building collapse: Four dead and 159 missing, officials say

An Opening for Dissenters? Thanks to the 2018 Janus ruling, professors who disagree with resolutions like the CUNY faculty union’s condemnation of Israel have options.

Three years ago this month, the Supreme Court protected the First Amendment rights of public employees. In Janus v. AFSCME, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that requiring nonmember workers to help fund government unions violated the employees’ free speech rights “by compelling them to subsidize private speech on matters of substantial public concern.” At its core, Janus recognized the impossibility of distinguishing between clearly political causes—for which even union leaders conceded that they could not charge non-members—and allegedly apolitical workplace matters, for which unions could demand an “agency fee.”

The Palestinian Jihad Summer Camps

As the international community seeks ways to help the residents of the Gaza Strip after the recent war between Israel and Hamas, the leaders of the Palestinians are busy preparing the next generation for more hate and violence.

The two major Palestinian groups controlling the Gaza Strip, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), recently launched campaigns to recruit thousands of Palestinian children and teenagers to their own summer camps.

The young recruits are not going to be taught how to swim or play soccer. They are not going to be part of a Palestinian Cub Scouts.

Trumpism: The Elite’s Favorite Bogeyman

Tyranny needs scapegoats, and in yielding to the media’s false narrative on Trump supporters, Christian speaker Beth Moore and others are helping to deliver one.

What is Trumpism?

A political philosophy?

Love of America and the Constitution that has served to govern it?

An economic program?

Or is it, as it is often alleged, worship of the former president of this country and a movement so insidious that it threatens our democracy?

How the Lancet lost our trust

Because the Lancet has such remarkable reach and cachet, its mistakes really matter

Right from its first issue in 1823, the Lancet was more than just an ordinary medical journal. Its founding editor, the dyspeptic surgeon and coroner Thomas Wakley, purposefully gave the journal the name of a sharp scalpel that could cut away useless, diseased tissue: he used it as a campaigning organ, to push back against injustice, bad ideas and bad practice.

Did Amazon’s Critical Race Theory Push Lead to a Racist Assault on a Customer?

When a company pushes racism, is it responsible when its employees assault white people?

Ever since Amazon created its own delivery service, the blue vests of its drivers and the dark blue trucks with the monopolistic giant’s arrow have become as ubiquitous as UPS brown or FedEx purple and orange on every street and highway in America. And with good reason.
