Ontario reports 1062 new Wuhan flu cases and Sainted Irish Mudda is not doing well Covid wise

Sainted Irish Mother is being transferred to a new hospital better equipped to treat her for Covid which has worsened overnight.

She was in a physio/rehab facility where she caught the China flu to begin with but they are not suited to treating her worsened condition.

Thankfully she is not being transferred to St. Joe’s that shithole of substandard care and malicious staff where this whole mess started for her before Christmas.

They broke her hearing aids at a replacement cost of 2900.00 bucks to us and kept her immobilized during a Covid lockdown which exasperated a knee condition leaving her unable to walk even with the aid of a Z- Frame, hence her stint at Runnymede to recover use of the knee. I should have pulled her from there but instead allowed the Doctor to convince me of the program’s benefit.

Sarcasticat will be handling most of the blogging today. I am waiting for word on mom  but doubt I will be allowed to see her.

Once she’s landed I hope to be apprised of her condition and update the family.

Please keep Mum in your thoughts and prayers.

The political effort to limit free speech attacks our own values

English essayist Samuel Johnson wrote that “when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” I thought of Johnson’s words in preparing to appear before a House committee exploring limitations on free speech, including a campaign by some Democratic members and activists to remove networks like Fox News from cable carriers. As someone who just came over to Fox News as a legal analyst from CBS and the BBC, the hearing concentrated my mind “wonderfully” on the future of free speech and the free press.

Tucker Carlson: The Lie About Who Is Really Privileged In America Today

No Payoff for Oumou Kanoute

Springfield, Massachusetts is one of the toughest cities in the United States, but it was not always that way. Basketball was invented in a gym in Springfield in 1891. The first gasoline-powered engine was built there, as were Indian Motorcycles.

As manufacturing died, so did Springfield, which devolved into a sadly familiar kind of American landscape — drugs, violence, waves of impoverished immigrants. On Wednesday, a man was shot to death on Main Street.

The ‘Cat in the Hat’ isn’t black — and that’s a problem

Theodore Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, might be one of the most read authors in the English (or, more accurately, the sort-of English) language. Since The Cat in the Hat was published in 1957, generations of American children have sounded out simple words while reading about the eponymous cat and the havoc he wreaked with Thing One and Thing Two on a boring, rainy day. However, the wokerati have now come for Geisel, claiming that his weird, mostly zoomorphic creations are, in fact, racist.

Mark Carney has some explaining to do

Mark Carney has some explaining to do

Mark Carney is Davos Man personified — one of those globetrotting super-leaders untroubled by the messy business of actually getting elected (or, at least, not anymore). Other examples of the caste include Bill Gates, Christine Lagarde, John Kerry and David Miliband.

These folk don’t have to signal their virtue; it is simply assumed as part of that aura of liberal respectability at that surrounds them at all times.

Shamima should be put on trial in Syria

We should support the Syrian Democratic Forces to bring jihadists to justice.

A dark cloud hangs over the Al Roj camp where Shamima Begum is being held in north-eastern Syria. She is said to be ‘angry and upset’ at the decision of the Supreme Court not to allow her to return to the UK to contest the loss of her citizenship. This bleak picture stands in stark contrast to the feelings of the vast majority of the British public, who will be raising a toast to the Supreme Court and thanking it for putting their interests ahead of an ISIS terrorist.

2nd Former Aide Accuses Cuomo of Sexual Harassment

NEW YORK—A second former aide has come forward with sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who responded with a statement Saturday saying he never made advances toward her and never intended to be inappropriate.

Charlotte Bennett, a health policy adviser in the Democratic governor’s administration until November, told The New York Times that Cuomo asked her inappropriate questions about her sex life, including whether she had ever had sex with older men.

Twitter Prepares ‘Safety Mode’ to Mute ‘Hateful’ Remarks, Censor Free Speech on Its Platform

Twitter Prepares ‘Safety Mode’ to Mute ‘Hateful’ Remarks, Censor Free Speech on Its Platform

Twitter revealed that it is preparing a new “Safety mode” to protect users from unwanted or offensive commentary, whatever that means.

Twitter gave the internet a hilarious but also grim glimpse into the platform’s future by revealing its upcoming “Safety mode.” The new function was previewed at the 2021 Analyst Day presentation with a few screenshots. Safety mode will “[a]utomatically block accounts that appear to break the Twitter Rules, and mute accounts that might be using insults, name-calling, strong language, or hateful remarks,” the presentation revealed in an image of the application in use on a cell phone.

Twitter is dying by a thousand self inflicted cuts.

I Took An Anti-Racist Training Workshop For Parents. Here’s What I Learned.

I Took An Anti-Racist Training Workshop For Parents. Here’s What I Learned.

The push for “anti-racism” is moving beyond the classroom. School districts are now insisting that parents spark conversations about race and gender at the dinner table, at the movie theatre, and when their child is browsing the internet.

In Montgomery County, Maryland, one of the nation’s most affluent areas, parents of elementary-aged children were encouraged to participate in a “caregiver” training program on “anti-racism.” The program was run through Ashburton Elementary School in the Montgomery County Public School district.
