‘Gender Identity Doesn’t Erase Physiological Advantages’: Student Athlete

Biologically female athletes should not be forced to compete with athletes who are born biological males, student-athlete Linnea Saltz told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Saltz, who participates in the highest level of intercollegiate athletics known as the NCAA Division I, said on Saturday that her views do not stem from a desire to discriminate against transgender women but instead that accommodating for LGBTQ athletes should not come at the expense of destroying women’s sports and the dreams of biological female athletes.

How to stop China’s long march

The world is now wide awake to communist hostility — coordinated action must follow

Winston Churchill was rebuked as a warmonger when he tried to alert the United States to the immense danger of the Soviet Union with his “Iron Curtain” speech. In March 1946, the USSR was still America’s heroic ally; Stalin was the benign pipe-smoking Uncle Joe who had valiantly defeated the Germans, thereby sparing countless American boys an early death.

But this wilful ignorance was best captured in another call to arms that also celebrates its 75th anniversary this year: that of George F Kennan’s “Long Telegram” on the sources of Soviet conduct, which was received by the State Department in February 1946. Written by Kennan under the pseudonym ‘Mr X’, the Telegram was an attempt to bore through the layers of ignorance, foolish optimism and disinformation spread by local Communists and Soviet sympathisers. He hoped to mobilise his fellow foreign service officers in the State Department and their chiefs, and through them the press and then Congress, to “contain” the further spread of Stalin’s power across Europe. Kennan had to estrange the USSR in order to make his colleagues and the wider world see its threat.

Prince Andrew’s spin doctor has stepped down after palace officials expressed their fury at a botched attempt to discredit the royal’s sex abuse accuser, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Mark Gallagher, nicknamed ‘the backroom fixer’, was hired almost a year ago in a bid to repair the Prince’s scandalised reputation.

The Duke of York, 61, is facing accusations from alleged victim Virginia Roberts that she was forced to have sex with him on three occasions when she was aged 17 in 2001.

‘Roar and be heard’: Woman behind Vance allegations calls for independent investigation

The woman at the centre of allegations of inappropriate behaviour against Canada’s former chief of defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance says an independent investigation is needed to fix systemic problems within the Canadian forces.

Maj. Kellie Brennan says since sharing her story publicly with Global News just one week ago, she has been flooded with support from others who say they too have experienced alleged misconduct in the military.

‘It was a boondoggle’: Chaotic scenes in hotel quarantines frustrate travellers

SASKATOON — Travellers say they’re frustrated by long wait times to book hotel quarantines and chaotic service during their stays.

Raymond Truesdale recorded a now-viral video of a crowd of hotel guests yelling at staff in a government-sanctioned hotel in Toronto on Friday. They said they hadn’t been fed for hours and weren’t getting clear answers from the front desk.

Sainted Irish Mother Update

Mom’s condition deteriorated rapidly last night, she has Covid-Pneumonia which she caught at the rehab hospital.

I spoke to her yesterday and she seemed so much her old self after a couple of tough days that today’s developments came as a shock.

She was struggling to breathe and her oxygen levels had dropped very low by normal standards so it was decided to transfer her to the Covid ward at Toronto Western.

Mom is 96 and suffers congestive heart failure. Given her frail state she is not considered a ventilator candidate. The risks of intubation are high I am told by the doctors and the reward may only amount to a delay of the inevitable. Ventilators are reserved primarily for younger patients who may stand a better chance of recovery I was informed.

She has been on a steroid treatment since the initial diagnosis at Runnymede. They have now given her diuretics’ to manage the fluid in her lungs and are giving her oxygen at the highest rate possible. Delivery is via a mask for now but a more efficient means is available if needed. Blood test results will indicate if other treatments, some described as “experimental” are suitable.

Mom is awake and she is able to converse with the staff.

She’s holding her own but the next 24 to 48 hours are critical.

I am not allowed to visit but a phone call may be arranged later.

Say a prayer and thanks for your concern.

‘Islamo-Leftism‘ a Major Problem, Say 69 per cent in France

A poll has revealed 69 per cent of French, nearly 7 in 10, say that there is a problem with an ideology of “Islamo-Leftism” in the country.

The Odoxa-Backbone consulting poll found that a comfortable majority of respondents believed there was a problem with leftist groups, political parties, and personalities refusing to take hard positions against radical Islamic extremism for fear of “stigmatising” Muslims as a whole.

Biden Coerces Christians

He treats their tenets as crimes.

In 1804, Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Ursuline Sisters to reassure them that the U.S. government would not violate their religious freedom. Allaying fears they had conveyed in a letter to him, Jefferson wrote that the “principles of the constitution and government of the United States” would permit the religious order to “govern itself according to its own voluntary rules, without interference from the civil authority.”

Rural Town Left out of Money, Hope After Keystone XL Shutdown

PHILIP, S.D.—Entire towns and communities along the route of the Keystone XL pipeline—once lively and prosperous due to the economic opportunity it brought—have been left out of money and out of hope after the project was scrapped by President Joe Biden on his first day in office.

One such town in rural South Dakota had invested heavily in their businesses in order to provide for an influx of workers the project had brought. Some businesses had even secured contracts with various companies working on the pipeline, but now have been left in deep debt and face a bleak future.

China Buys Western Academics

A shocking investigation was just published by the French weekly Le Point on how Beijing is buying the favor of Western universities. An Italian associate professor, for example, Fabio Massimo Parenti, at the Lorenzo de Medici International Institute in Florence, was hosted in Xinjiang, where up to two million Uyghurs are estimated to be locked up in “re-education camps”. In addition, many British schools are now closely under Chinese radar of influence and propaganda. Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s Reform UK Party, recently tweeted that “Chinese billionaires with direct links to the CCP are buying up British schools — and flooding the curriculum with their propaganda,” and listed the names of some in the UK “under Chinese control”

An AG probe is now a must for Andrew Cuomo: Goodwin

It was a freewheeling conversation in a Manhattan restaurant about how to change Albany. Andrew Cuomo, then New York’s attorney general, was a lock to be elected governor in 2010 and was gaming the hurdles and opportunities.

His conclusion would prove prophetic in ways he couldn’t imagine. “The answer is to do it in two terms,” he told a companion. “Third terms are always a mistake.”

The frustration is real as Canadians ponder rule-breaking

According to the market research firm Insights West, about half of Canadians are planning to break COVID rules during their province’s spring break.

Since the pandemic began to spread in Canada after last year’s spring break, particularly in Quebec, the rule-breaking plans are concerning.

China has humiliated the Vatican

Beijing shows no intention of honoring its deal with the Catholic Church

Last week, it emerged that the Chinese government has issued new rules for religious ministers in the country. Amid the regulations was a new official process for the appointment of Catholic bishops in the country, one which makes no reference to the Vatican or the deal the Catholic Church and China signed in 2018.

The rules are the latest in a series of pointed humiliations inflicted on the Vatican since it handed over control of the country’s Catholics to the Communist party two years ago.

GOLDSTEIN: Helpless: Caledonia’s agony is a national disgrace

What has happened to Caledonia over the last 15 years to the day since, on Feb. 28, 2006, its citizens became the innocent and unwitting victims of an Indigenous land claim protest that later turned violent, should be a national disgrace.

It isn’t, because few people know about it.

Rioters in Portland late Saturday smashed windows, vandalized buildings, and harassed diners.

Video footage showed a group clad in black, dressed in the style favored by the far-left Antifa network marching down the street, stopping to spray paint structures, break windows, and shout at diners.

It’s not a riot till a Starbucks gets trashed.
