If the Wuhan lab-leak hypothesis is true, expect a political earthquake

There was a time when the Covid pandemic seemed to confirm so many of our assumptions. It cast down the people we regarded as villains. It raised up those we thought were heroes. It prospered people who could shift easily to working from home even as it problematized the lives of those Trump voters living in the old economy.

Like all plagues, Covid often felt like the hand of God on earth, scourging the people for their sins against higher learning and visibly sorting the righteous from the unmasked wicked. “Respect science,” admonished our yard signs. And lo!, Covid came and forced us to do so, elevating our scientists to the highest seats of social authority, from where they banned assembly, commerce, and all the rest.

The China class will make sure nothing comes between them and their “investments,” China will not suffer and everything else will remain the same but especially a deeply held contempt for the our media and the governing class. That’s no earthquake that’s the norm.

A Woke Military Wouldn’t Have Won World War II

Memorial Day traditionally marks the beginning of summer and a time for patriotic remembrance of our fallen war dead and, for many of us, fallen family members, many of whom were veterans. I have been thinking of the five sons of Victor Sowers, Sr., my mother’s brothers, all of whom served in World War II and returned, while pondering the parlous state of the military today.

Anarchists and an increase in violent crime hijack Portland’s social justice movement

PORTLAND, Ore. — The church, on the edge of this city, was built to hold thousands, and on this drizzly day the pews of Mannahouse were filled with hundreds of mourners, scattered throughout the broad, high-ceilinged chamber to comply with pandemic rules.

Nearly all of them were Black.

They had gathered to memorialize Jalon Yoakum, 33, whose body lay in a clear casket at the front of the stage. The wounds on his face had been brushed over; a blue suit and white open-collar shirt hid the rest of the scars from the daylight gunshots that killed him in a pizza restaurant parking lot this month.

Portland is a White city, overwhelmingly so — African Americans account for just 6 percent of the population. But it is Black people such as Yoakum, an aspiring union electrician, who are dying at near-historic rates and filling churches with grief.

First the lying MSM decides Trump was right about the China Virus and now Antifa is suddenly a “Bad Thing”.

Joe Biden Goes Full Leroy Jenkins in a Race-Baiting Speech, Creeps on Young Girls Again

Joe Biden appeared in Tulsa, OK today to give a speech on race. What followed was more evidence that he doesn’t need to be anywhere near the office of the presidency. From random wild claims to race-baiting to creeping on young girls again, this speech had it all.

Diane Francis: Canada must be transparent about Wuhan lab ties

With evidence mounting that SARS-CoV-2 may have escaped from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government could find itself in a very awkward position if the American intelligence report ordered by U.S. President Joe Biden into the origins of the virus ends up uncovering previously undisclosed information about the connections between Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory and the Wuhan lab.

‘We need to stop CRT, period’: Black father and daughter go viral slamming critical race theory

A video of a man and his young daughter slamming critical race theory and encouraging people to love others regardless of race is going viral on social media.

“How we treat people is based on who they are and not what color they are,” the man says while sitting next to his daughter. She then adds, “And if they’re nice and smart.”

Police Deaths and Retirements Have Reached Record Levels

Protests, defunded departments, and incompetent Democrat response have created a law enforcement crisis.

Just over one year after George Floyd’s death, Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and anti-police rhetoric from Democrat politicians have led to a record number of police officer deaths and retirements. In 2020 alone, 264 police officers were killed in the line of duty, a staggering 96 percent increase from 2019.

The Establishment Strikes Back—For Now

Elites move to protect the public from itself.

If, as Bruno Maçães suggests in History Has Begun, American culture has devolved into a Hollywood plot, then we have reached that place in the story when the cattle baron torches the cabins of unwelcome settlers and the Death Star obliterates the pesky rebels’ planet. Having defeated Donald Trump and stumbled on new methods of control during the Covid-19 pandemic, the elites who run our institutions are out for vengeance. The establishment is striking back.

GOLDSTEIN: Canada’s relative debt fifth highest in industrialized world, report says

Canada’s relative debt load compared to other developed nations is far worse than the Trudeau government claims, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute released Tuesday.

It says while the Liberals’ boast that Canada had the lowest net debt to GDP ratio among G7 countries heading into last year’s pandemic recession, that falls to 25th place out of 29 nations with comparable economies when its gross or total debt is calculated compared to the size of the Canadian economy.

Communist ‘antifa’ activists attack Catholic procession in France

May 31, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic procession held Saturday in Paris to commemorate the killing in hatred of the faith of 10 priests and seminarists during the socialist insurrection of the “Commune” in 1871 was violently attacked by a group of communist activists and “antifas.”

One hundred fifty years after the brutal killing of 50 hostages in the popular 20th arrondissement of Paris, the “Massacre of the rue Haxo,” old resentment is still alive and the anticlerical French extreme left appears to be anxious to kindle past anger.

‘Too much of a burden’: Chinese couples react to three-child policy

“When hearing the news today, my colleagues joked that unless the government rewards us with a flat and a degree for every single child we give birth to, the policy has nothing to do with us at all.

Chinese couples – especially women – are less willing to give birth these days. This is because the pressure is too high in today’s society. After giving birth, as a woman, you are not likely to return to work any time soon due to childcare. The more babies you have, the more you’ll have to sacrifice in your career.”

Black Lives Matter St. Paul Founder Says He ‘Resigned’ After Learning the ‘Ugly Truth’

A Black Lives Matter chapter founder in Minnesota has resigned, claiming that the organization isn’t concerned about helping black communities or helping improve the education quality in Minneapolis, according to a video published last week.

Rashard Turner, the founder of a Black Lives Matter chapter in neighboring St. Paul, said he started the branch in 2015 but became disillusioned roughly a year after becoming “an insider” within the left-wing organization, according to a video released by TakeCharge—a group that rejects various provisions promoted by Black Lives Matter, including critical race theory-linked claims that the United States is inherently racist.

Courts rule against race-based restaurant relief distribution

“In other words, if you happened to be a white, male restaurant owner, you were sent to the back of the line to hope that the fund wouldn’t be dried up by the time your turn came.

This led a few of the aforementioned white, male owners to go to court and ask for equal treatment. In a pair of cases decided in just the past week, it looks like the courts agree that such gender or race-based systems of distribution are unconstitutional. The appeals will continue, however.”

Biden Administration Rewards Terrorists: Abbas and Hamas

Biden Administration Rewards Terrorists: Abbas and Hamas

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s May 25 announcement that the Biden administration will ask Congress to allocate $75 million in aid to the Palestinians and that Washington will reopen the US Consulate in Jerusalem — which previously had served as a de facto embassy handling US relations with the Palestinians — is sending the wrong message to the leaders of the Palestinians.

First, these overtures signal to Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas that the US will support and lavish funding on any Arab leader who seriously abuses not only his own people but also his neighbors. This policy would also include leaders such as Vladimir Putin in Russia, Xi Jinping in China and “Supreme Guide” Ali Khamenei in Iran, as well as other despots.
