Has Censorship Become Our Baseline Expectation?

Has Censorship Become Our Baseline Expectation?

For America’s Journalistic Inquisitors–it’s free speech that’s surprising

Want proof that our norms are shifting? Look no further than our headlines: “Amazon won’t stop selling book questioning transgender youth” noted a surprised New York Daily News on Tuesday. “Amazon overrules employees’ calls to stop selling book questioning mainstream treatment for transgender youth,” declared The Seattle Times. “Amazon Refuses to Stop Selling Anti-Trans Book,” reported an apparently disappointed Edge Media. And yesterday’s NBCNews.com: “Amazon will not remove book advocates say endangers transgender youth.”

For every one of these publications, the baseline assumption is censorship.

Diversity Over Discovery: Biden’s war on merit puts America’s scientific edge at risk.

Diversity Over Discovery: Biden’s war on merit puts America’s scientific edge at risk.

President Joe Biden has now taken the push for “diversity” in STEM to a new level. His candidate to head the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the largest funder of the physical sciences in the U.S., is a soil geologist at the University of California, Merced. She has no background in physics, the science of energy, or the energy sector. She has never held a position as a scientific administrator. The typical head of DOE’s Office of Science in the past has had managerial authority in the nation’s major physics labs and has been a physicist himself, Science reports. The new nominee’s only managerial experience consists of serving since 2020 as an interim associate dean of UC Merced’s graduate division.

Iran’s ‘Drug Terrorism’ Against Arabs

While Israel is seeking to dissuade the Biden administration from rejoining the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran — currently the subject of indirect negotiations in Vienna — Tehran’s mullahs and their Lebanese Hezbollah terror proxy are busy drowning the Arab countries with drugs.

Last week, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Lebanon, Walid Al-Bukhari, revealed that Saudi authorities recently foiled an attempt to smuggle large quantities of drugs from Lebanon. The smuggled drugs, he said, were “enough to drown the whole Arab world. The drugs were not meant to be distributed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia only, but also in different parts of the Arab world.”

China-based chain says rows of surveillance cameras in Canadian restaurants for security, not spying

China-based chain says rows of surveillance cameras in Canadian restaurants for security, not spying

The photos posted online show rows of surveillance cameras, their apparent focus the dining area of Canadian restaurants owned by a popular China-based chain.

The company, Haidilao International Holding, says its video equipment is there to ensure everyone’s safety and security — not, as a recent report suggested, to track staff and customers on behalf of authorities in Beijing.

ACLU Negotiating With Biden Administration To Give Deported Illegal Immigrants Permanent Status, ‘Compensation and Social Services’

According to lawyers representing families reportedly separated under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” illegal immigration policy, they are “hopeful” that more than 1,000 families will not only be reunified with their children, but will be given permanent status in the United States, as well as “compensation and social services.”

‘Mukbang’ binge-eating kink videos are now illegal in China

The internet’s “mukbang” trend is toast.

China has made the decision to outlaw overt gluttony in public and on social media, which also targets Chinese mukbangers who gorge on camera to the enjoyment of millions of culinary kink fans around the world. Legislators introduced the proposal late last year as part of President Xi Jinping’s campaign against food waste in China and around the world.

Justin must be so envious.

Telford repeatedly dodges questions about not telling Trudeau of 2018 Vance allegation

Full of shit.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s chief of staff Katie Telford repeatedly did not answer multiple questions from members of the defence committee Friday about who made the decision not to tell the prime minister about a 2018 allegation against Gen. Jonathan Vance.

Telford was asked roughly 10 times by Conservative members of the committee to clarify why Trudeau appears not to have been informed about the allegation. He has said he was not “personally aware” of the allegation in 2018 and that while his office knew of an allegation, they did not know the details.

CHAZ/CHOP Season 2, Antisemitism Edition, Is Going to Be Lit in the Colorado Mountains

Last year we had the distinct pleasure of covering the Autonomous Zone set up by antifa in Seattle called CHAZ—and then CHOP and then CHAZ/CHOP or something. It was awesome. We were treated to a real-time socialism experiment that failed miserably. The raping and robbing started almost immediately. There was a warlord and police were replaced with street thugs with guns. Remember the garden? I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard since. Marxists might be violent and dangerous but they’re also hilariously unskilled and most likely will die quickly in a real emergency.

New submarine threat: Top U.S. general says China pursuing Atlantic naval base

China is moving behind-the-scenes toward establishing a major naval port on the west coast of Africa that would host Chinese submarines and aircraft carriers capable of projecting Beijing‘s military power directly into the Atlantic, a top U.S. military official warned on Thursday.

The top commander for U.S. military operations in Africa said Chinese officials have been approaching countries stretching from Mauritania to south of Namibia in search of where to position the naval facility.

Liberals’ new proposed amendment to Bill C-10 doesn’t address free speech concerns: expert

The Liberal government has proposed new limits on how CRTC can regulate social media posts under Bill C-10, which would still give the broadcast regulator some oversight what content Canadians see on digital platforms.

The amendment proposed at the Heritage committee meeting Thursday evening would allow the CRTC to issue orders relating to discoverability – the ability to force social media platforms to show a certain amount of Canadian content to users.

‘A dirty business’: how one drug is turning Syria into a narco-state

In the summer of 2015 a businessman in the Syrian province of Latakia was approached by a powerful security chief, seeking a favour. The official wanted the merchant, an importer of medical supplies, to source large amounts of a drug called fenethylline from abroad. The regime, he said, would readily buy the lot.

After an internet search, the merchant made a decision. He left his home that same week, first sending his wife and children to exile, then following after, scrounging what he could from his businesses for a new start. “I know what they were asking me to do,” he said from his new home in Paris. “They wanted the main ingredient for Captagon. And that drug is a dirty business.”

Iran’s Khamenei says fight against the “terrorist camp” Israel is a public duty …

Iran’s Supreme Leader called on Muslim nations on Friday to keep fighting against Israel, which he said was not a state but a “terrorist garrison” against the Palestinians.

“The fight against this despotic regime is the fight against oppression and the fight against terrorism. And this is a public duty to fight against this regime,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised speech.

Khamenei was speaking on Iran’s annual Quds Day, which uses the Arabic name for Jerusalem, held on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Joe Biden is looking to close a deal with these guys.
