Ex-US Capitol Police Chief: ‘Entire Intel Community Seems to Have Missed’ Preparations for Riot

American intelligence services failed to assess the situation and anticipate the violents events in Washington, DC, on 6 January, Steven Sund, former chief of the US Capitol Police, has claimed.

In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a copy of which was obtained by CNN, Sund pointed the finger at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), US Secret Service, as well as Department of Homeland Security and the DC Metropolitan Police Department for failing to predict an “armed assault” on the Capitol.

Iran’s Role in Yemen: US, EU Go Wobbly

Iran’s Role in Yemen: US, EU Go Wobbly

More evidence is emerging, including a recent report by the United Nations, showing that that the Iranian regime is delivering sophisticated weapons to the Houthi militia group in Yemen. The Houthi group was designated as a terrorist organization by the previous US administration.

Where are the European Union and the Biden administration on this issue? The Biden administration has suspended some of the terrorism sanctions that the previous administration imposed on the Houthis, and the Biden administration is reviewing the Houthis file to possibly remove it from the terrorist list. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that he has “deep concern about the designation” of the Houthis as a terrorist organization. The EU and Biden administration also appear to be busy charting ways to return to the nuclear deal — which Iran never signed and which enables Iran ultimately to possess nuclear weapons — and lift sanctions against the theocratic regime.

Canada First? “Never Apologize” For Getting COVID-19 Vaccines Ahead Of Poorer Countries

Canada First? “Never Apologize” For Getting COVID-19 Vaccines Ahead Of Poorer Countries

Whoa, Canada! Our neighbor to the north has come under fire for drawing COVID-19 vaccine doses from the international consortium meant to preserve supplies for poorer countries, a consortium that the US under Donald Trump pointedly eschewed in favor of Trump’s “America First” philosophy. Now, Justin Trudeau’s government has resorted to defending its self-interest, vowing no apologies for putting Canada first…

Anxious and pandemic-weary Canadians are running out of patience with Justin Trudeau

Anxious and pandemic-weary Canadians are running out of patience with Justin Trudeau

Canada’s stockpile of vaccines isn’t large enough. Nor are Canadians’ reserves of patience, as it turns out.

This is the week when the flagging supply of COVID vaccines met the flagging, pandemic-weary spirit of the Canadian public — and Justin Trudeau’s support has joined the downward spiral.

A new Abacus Data poll confirms that Trudeau and his government are getting the blame for the vaccines that aren’t arriving quickly enough and the prime minister now has serious damage control to do along with ongoing crisis management.

Minnesota governor activates National Guard ahead of trial for police officer involved in George Floyd’s death

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is preemptively activating the National Guard ahead of February’s trial for one of the police officers who has been arrested in connection with the death of George Floyd.

The governor warned that the trial, which is set to begin on March 8, could lead to “civil unrest” in Minneapolis and the surrounding area, in an executive order on Friday. Walz said he requested assistance from the state to “support public safety and security and to prevent or respond to potential civil unrest.”

Rex Murphy: This is the worst Canadian government ever. Can there be any question?

It’s a mess. It’s a shambles. It’s an embarrassment. It is the worst ever by any reasonable measurement.

Judging by their performance on the most important files, the current bunch in Ottawa would need to hire a consultant to figure out how to get wet in a thunderstorm, and set up a task force to study how to tie their own shoes.

Sex on the (Washed-Out) Brain

What we are observing in our feminized and “socially correct” culture today is a prurient obsession with sex—in particular, an inverse preoccupation with matters sexual, as if exemplifying the puritanical perversity of condemning that which one secretly desires. It’s as if we are now living in some febrile Na’vi world, our progressivist reformers having embarked on a vendetta against sexual desire and romantic love as felt and practiced by normal men and women. Jakob Burckhardt’s “terrible simplifcateurs” and concupiscent apologists proliferate among us in their myriads.

It’s ‘morally’ wrong for Canada to procure 1.9M vaccines from international program says hoary old socialist Stephen Lewis

Stopped clock something something…

TORONTO — Canada should not be dipping into an international vaccine-sharing pool to secure doses that could otherwise go to developing countries that simply can’t afford them, according to one of the country’s most prominent advocates for global development.

COVAX is an entity that Canada and other countries fund to buy COVID-19 vaccines in bulk and deliver them to poorer nations that aren’t able to compete with wealthier nations to secure vaccine contracts from drug companies.

Conrad Black: Canada must retaliate over Biden’s ill-considered Keystone decision

Conrad Black: Canada must retaliate over Biden’s ill-considered Keystone decision

Canada absolutely has to retaliate for the outrageous and cavalier cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline. The millions of Canadians who celebrated former U.S. president Donald Trump’s departure from the White House may start to wonder if the new era is quite as paradisiacal as they had expected. President Joe Biden promised to ”rebuild our alliances,” yet with no notice given to America’s closest, oldest and least abrasive ally, with whose leader he is personally friendly, he revoked the existing arrangements and withdrew the permit to construct the pipeline, throwing 11,000 of his countrymen, and possibly as many as 40,000 Canadians, out of work.
