MAKASSAR, Indonesia (AP) — Two attackers blew themselves up outside a packed Roman Catholic cathedral during a Palm Sunday Mass on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island, wounding at least 20 people, police said.
A video obtained by The Associated Press showed body parts scattered near a burning motorbike at the gates of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi province.
How U.S. media lost the trust of the public
A global pandemic, historic anti-racism protests and a turbulent U.S. presidential election had Americans glued to their screens in 2020 like never before. Cable news ratings soared, online news subscriptions increased and the amount of time we all spent online broke records.
But as people consumed more news, they also began to trust the media less, surveys showed. According to a recent Gallup survey, the percentage of Americans with no trust in the mass media hit a record high in 2020: only nine per cent of respondents said they trust the mass media “a great deal” and a full 60 per cent said they have little to “no trust at all” in it.
The American media landscape has become increasingly polarized over the last few decades.

Ontario is reporting more than 2,400 new COVID-19 cases today as the province’s seven-day average of daily infections surpasses 2,000 for the first time in several weeks.
Provincial health officials logged 2,448 new cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus today, down slightly from the 2,453 reported on Saturday but up from 1,791 last week.
It is the fourth day in a row that the number of new infections jumped above 2,000 in the province.
Ontario easing COVID-19 restrictions is ‘threatening people’s lives’: nurses’ union
A union representing nurses in Ontario says the government’s loosening of restrictions is “threatening people’s lives” and has called for stronger measures to be put in place as the province faces a third wave of COVID-19.
The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) said in a statement Saturday that recent government decisions to loosen some dining restrictions, as well as allow personal care services to open, also threaten the province’s health-care system and in-person learning.
Like teacher’s unions little things such as a roof over your head and enough food to eat never seem to factor in their position on lockdowns.
“We could hear a man chuckling,” shopper Angelina Romero-Chavez recalled hearing as she hid from the gunman while shots rang out around her.
“Gunshots were close. We believe it was him chuckling,” the 23-year-old told the Denver Post.
Police also radioed: “This guy is laughing at us,” according to records reviewed by the Denver Post.
A woman is dead and multiple people were taken to hospital following an apparently random stabbing spree in a busy area of North Vancouver on Saturday afternoon.
It happened around 1:45 p.m. within and outside the Lynn Valley Library, which anchors the Lynn Valley Village shopping area that was packed with weekend shoppers.
One suspect was arrested, and police said the attacker appeared to be acting alone.
No update on the events of last night other than the perp was “known to police.”
Knowing both the police and media expect this to be buried ASAP as it offends the agreed upon narrative.

When I heard about the Atlanta Asian massage parlor shootings last week, my immediate thought was, Here come more hate crime lies, at the exploitative expense of the dead.
There’s no evidence that the alleged killer was motivated by anti-Asian animus.
The Journal of the American Medical Association is one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world and is regularly cited as an authority on everything from cancer to erectile dysfunction.
They use protest to demonstrate the righteousness of their cause
If you were making the case for the right to protest, it couldn’t have had a worse ending: a police van on fire, two women filmed squatting to piss at the feet of riot cops, a man arrested for allegedly carrying a homemade spear, and 40 injuries suffered by officers. What had started in Bristol as a peaceful rally against the crime and policing bill ended as a riot outside Bridewell Police Station, then spilled into days of disorder.
Is civilizational decline reversible?
In a recent monologue on HBO’s Real Time, host Bill Maher called Americans a “silly people” for allowing themselves to be mired in culture war struggles, such as the politically correct cancelling of children’s books, while our superpower competition China is laser-focused on political, economic, and military dominance.
New York will soon introduce the Excelsior Pass, a card which proves you have taken a Covid-19 vaccine or have a recent negative test in order to enter events and businesses.
“Similar to a mobile airline boarding pass, individuals will be able to either print out their pass or store it on their smartphones using the Excelsior Pass Wallet app,” the press release announcing the ‘passports’ read.
We really ought to bring back geographical literacy — a basic familiarity with the shape of countries and continents.
I realise that this sort of thing went out with the British Empire. But just because there’s no more pink on the map it doesn’t that we shouldn’t make the effort.
We especially need to get into our heads that the world is full of choke points — through which the arteries of global economy must pass.
Washington expert who led inquiry into the cause of the virus reveals three Wuhan lab scientists fell ill in November 2019
A cluster of researchers from China’s secretive Wuhan laboratories fell sick with ‘Covid-like’ symptoms at least six weeks before the Beijing government admitted an outbreak of a new virus in their city, according to the leading US investigator looking into the start of the pandemic.
David Asher, who led State Department inquiries into Covid-19’s origins, told The Mail on Sunday that three scientists are believed to have become ill with the mysterious respiratory condition in the second week of November, 2019.
‘There are suspicions – for good reasons – of an initial cluster tied to Wuhan Institute of Virology in November and that people started to be hospitalised,’ he said.
I shall begin this aria as perhaps I should begin them all, with a citation from Lorrie Goldstein, the very lighthouse beacon of all Canadian commentary. Remarking on the highly consequential Supreme Court ruling on Trudeau’s carbon tax, he wrote in response to some fellow on Twitter the following:
“The Supreme Court said the carbon tax law is legal. It said nothing about whether it will work, or whether it’s sound public policy, because that wasn’t its job.”
Republican senators on a two-day whirlwind tour of several border facilities were heckled by Mexican “coyotes” across the Rio Grande and told not to take photos of holding areas crammed with children.
One of the 18 senators on the fact-finding tour to South Texas, Indiana Sen. Mike Braun, told Secrets that a Biden aide involved in the tour asked that he delete his photos. Like others on the trip, he didn’t.
One of the largest presences on the left today, filmmaker Michael Moore, has brought us the latest example of the West’s overpowering self-hatred, even to the point of civilizational suicide. After the massacre in a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado, Moore tweeted: “The life of Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa shows that people can come from all over the world and truly assimilate into our beloved American culture.”
