Joe Biden clears very low bar at first press conference

Things go so much more smoothly when Washington reporters actually like the person functioning as president. And so, President Joe Biden cleared the very low bar that was set for his first press conference on Thursday.

It’s not that our biggest problems have gone away. Almost 140,000 people have died from the coronavirus since Biden was elected. More than 10 million people remain unemployed. The Border Patrol has gone back to functioning as a full-time child care program for Latin America’s poor after Biden opened the border to all of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

Canada expelled eight foreigners for terrorism or spying in 2020

Eight foreigners suspected of espionage, subversion or terrorism were removed from Canada last year, according to the federal government.

The department of Public Safety would not reveal the countries that the individuals were acting on behalf of, citing privacy laws, nor the specific nature of their activities in Canada.

“However, we can tell you that in 2020, the CBSA [Canada Border Services Agency] removed eight individuals deemed inadmissible on security grounds,” Public Safety spokesman Tim Warmington said in a statement. “Removal on security grounds may include persons who are found inadmissible for espionage, subversion, terrorism and/or for membership in groups involved in such activities.”

Only 8?

Arabs: A Warning to Biden about Iran’s Mullahs

The Biden administration has decided to extend for another year the “national emergency” (Executive Order 12957), issued in 1995 in response to the threat Iran posed to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the US.

The Executive Order imposed a series of sanctions against Iran in response to its support for international terrorism, its efforts to undermine the Middle East peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, and its acquisition of nuclear weapons.

…President Biden’s decision to pursue the sanctions against Iran, however, has failed to reduce the fears of many Arabs. They say that they remain skeptical about Washington’s policy toward the threats posed by the mullahs in Tehran.

Under Obama it became evident that the goal was disengagement from the Middle East. This administration is Obama 2.0.

That Poem Is Real? Charlottesville Mayor Has a Total Meltdown on Social Media

The mayor of Charlottesville has compared the city to a rapist. Actually, it was something of a total meltdown on social media. Mayor Nikuyah Walker penned a graphic poem to Facebook, which was promptly reported. She then added more prose to her initial work, and it got plenty of attention.

BONOKOSKI: Time to have Meng Wanzhou try on an orange jumpsuit

The Two Michaels — Canadian political pawns Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig — have had their sham trials in communist China and are now waiting for the Godot of their sentencings.

The time is long overdue, therefore, to play hardball with Meng Wanzhou, the Chinese hi-tech scion arrested by Canadian authorities at the behest of the United States for extradition on alleged serious fraud charges.

CNN’s “Reliable Sources” with far-left host Brian Stelter had its lowest-rated show of the year on Sunday, failing to crack the one-million viewer plateau for the second-straight week.

Stelter’s program, which is billed as a media program but has morphed into a weekly partisan attack on conservative news organizations, averaged only 936,000 on March 21. The total was its smallest audience of the year.

Public Health Agency was unprepared for the pandemic and ‘underestimated’ the danger, auditor general says

Despite nearly two decades of warnings, planning and government spending, the Public Health Agency of Canada was not ready for the global pandemic and did not appreciate the threat it posed in its early stages, Canada’s auditor general says.

In a hard-hitting review released today, Auditor General Karen Hogan took the country’s primary pandemic response agency to task for failures in early warning, surveillance, risk assessments, data-sharing with the provinces and follow-up on Canadian travellers who were ordered into quarantine.

Federal carbon tax ‘simply wrong’ despite being found constitutional: Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe

OTTAWA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says his government’s unsuccessful constitutional challenge of the federal carbon tax law doesn’t change his mind about the overall issue, calling the federal law “simply wrong.”

The federal Liberals, meanwhile, say the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision means the debate on whether Canada will have carbon pricing is “over.”

Religion class teacher ‘warned pupils he would show Muhammad cartoon in class on blasphemy’ – sparking fury from Muslim parents and earning him a suspension

A teacher suspended after allegedly showing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad during a religious education lesson is said to have accepted that pupils would tell their parents about it before displaying the images.

Dozens of furious Muslim parents protested outside the historic Batley Grammar School in West Yorkshire today, which had to delay its opening and told pupils to stay at home amid chaotic scenes at the gates.

A school in Yorkshire has issued a grovelling apology after a teacher showed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

We don’t have blasphemy laws in Britain.

Teachers are free to explore all religions and themes.

Our schools mustn’t be intimated into submission for daring to do so! pic.twitter.com/dnudTulLiq

Public Health Agency of Canada President Refused to Explain to MPs of Committee on Canada-China Relations Why Scientists Were Fired From Winnipeg Lab

The head of the Public Health Agency of Canada refused to explain to a House of Commons committee the specific reasons why a prominent Chinese Canadian scientist and her husband were fired by the country’s top laboratory after a police investigation.

PHAC president Iain Stewart was grilled by the Committee on Canada-China Relations on March 22 about the termination of the two biologists from their employment at the National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg, Canada’s highest-security Level 4 laboratory, back in 2019.

PHAC president given until Friday to explain why two scientists let go

The president of the Public Health Agency of Canada has been given until the end of the week to explain why two Canadian government scientists were let go 18 months after being escorted from Canada’s only Level 4 laboratory.

Iain Stewart came under fire Monday from opposition MPs after he repeatedly refused to explain why PHAC terminated the employment of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, in January.

Stewart told the special committee on Canada-China relations that he could not provide details due to privacy issues and “security with respect to the investigation” still being conducted by the RCMP.

Chauvin trial: What do we know about the jury?

Two legal teams fought tooth and nail over three gruelling weeks. This week, they rounded out the jury panel for arguably the highest profile murder trial in Minnesota history.

Former police officer Derek Chauvin goes on trial next Monday on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, last May in the city of Minneapolis.

Fourteen jurors, who will remain anonymous and unseen throughout the televised trial, will decide whether Mr Chauvin should serve time in prison or be acquitted.

Riots regardless.

The Price China Never Paid for its ‘Hostage Diplomacy’

After Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition request on Dec. 1, 2018, Beijing warned Canada of “serious consequences” if she wasn’t freed. It carried through with its threat a few days later, when it detained Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. After that, the regime blocked Canadian agricultural imports to China.

Ottawa has adopted stronger language of late over the arrest of the two Canadians, in contrast to its earlier, noticeably softer tone, which typically praised China for the economic benefit it presents before calling out the regime’s hostilities.
