“I didn’t expect much from President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris—they are embedded in the pro-abortion army—but the opening of today’s joint statement on the 48th anniversary of Roe was unnecessarily pugilistic and overtly hostile to those of us who mourn, not celebrate, a decision that has already cost the lives of over 65 million unborn babies.”

Academic Study Finds Big-Tech Elites Are In Their ‘Own Class’, Different To Rest Of Humanity
An academic study carried out by researchers in the US and Germany has concluded that big-tech elites are completely different to all other people on the planet, and can be placed in their own class.
“Our research contributes to closing a research gap in societies with rising inequalities,” note the authors of the study from two German universities and the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies in New York.
The research centres around analysing language used in close to 50,000 tweets and other online statements by 100 of the richest tech-elites as listed by Forbes.
Why French teachers are afraid
Following the murder of Samuel Paty, many ‘foot soldiers of the Republic’ feel abandoned to extremists
Imagine being a teacher in France. You come out in a cold sweat at the prospect of telling your class about Voltaire, Rousseau or Diderot. You’re terrified one of their parents will post your details on an extremist forum. You leave your workplace after dark wondering if someone’s waiting to attack you. Shocking as it may seem to British ears, this is the reality for secondary school History teachers across the Republic.
How Islam Influenced History’s Most ‘Evil’ Christians
A look at the circumstances that gave rise to Vlad the Impaler and Ivan the Terrible.
Citing history—or, as shall be seen, pseudohistory—is one of the main ways Islam’s apologists try to ennoble Muhammad’s creed and its adherents. As a sort of counterbalance to purportedly noble Muslims, medieval Christians are regularly presented as the epitome of intolerance and violence. Commonly leading the pack are Vlad the Impaler and Ivan “the Terrible” (both featured in the 2002 book, The Most Evil Men and Women in History).
In reality, however, these men—and the culture they lived in—were significantly influenced by Islam; they were surrounded by and fought against Muslims their entire lives.
Biden Freezes ICE; Suspends 85% of Criminal Alien Deportations
One of President Biden’s first acts on immigration is to suspend investigations, arrests, and deportations of most criminal aliens for the next 100 days. In a memo titled “Review of and Interim Revision to Civil Immigration Enforcement and Removal Policies and Procedures”, sent on Wednesday to all immigration agency heads, Acting DHS Secretary David Pekoske announced new enforcement priorities that go into effect on February 1, 2021. The memo imposes restrictions on immigration enforcement actions that are even tighter than those adopted (with disastrous results) by the Obama administration, and make the country a sanctuary not only for criminal aliens, but all who are here in defiance of our laws.
Isn’t it great that the oil from Canada will now be moved by trains and trucks?
Now that the Keystone XL pipeline is canceled by President Joe Biden, the world is supposedly greener.
Really? Fact is, it’s the opposite. Instead of getting more environmentally friendly, the carbon footprint from that oil will be increased substantially because it will be shipped by trucks and trains above ground instead of through underground pipe. It is also much less safe and efficient: shipping by trucks and trains means more accidents — and an increased human cost. What sheer brilliance! I thought all of Biden’s decisions were going to be based on facts and science.
German right-wing AfD party goes to court ahead of reported designation as ‘suspected’ extremist group
Germany’s right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has filed two lawsuits against the nation’s domestic security service that is reportedly about to designate it a “suspected” extremist group ahead of national elections.
The party has filed two legal complaints and two emergency motions against the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution – a domestic security agency known as BfV – the German dpa news agency reported. The move followed a series of media reports suggesting that BfV could formally declare the whole party a suspected extremist organization.
Suppose They Created a Nuclear Treaty and No Nuclear Powers Signed It?
The left has an impulse-control problem and it’s getting worse.
The dream of putting the nuclear genie back in the bottle and forgetting how to build the bomb began in the 1950s when some of the same scientists who created the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs proposed the elimination of all nuclear weapons. At that time there were only three nuclear-armed nations: the U.S., the Soviet Union, and Great Britain. They proposed that the nuclear fuel cycle be placed under international control with the scientists themselves in charge.
UK Govt Shares ‘Manipulative‘ Coronavirus Scare Video
In what has been described as “emotionally manipulative propaganda”, the British government has released a high-production lockdown ad campaign, attempt to guilt the public into obeying the country’s lockdown restrictions.
Electric Vehicles Don’t Save Money
Sure, you’ll cut costs on oil changes, but you’ll pay way more over the life of the car.
Electric vehicles are being sold, in part, on how much they’ll save people in terms of maintenance costs.
That’s a total con.
EVs are not no-maintenance or even low-maintenance relative to non-electric cars. They are different maintenance.
And they’re not cheaper to maintain.
BBC lockdown home-schooling programme tells 9-year-olds there are ‘over 100 genders’ and shows kids talking to adults about ‘bi-gender’, ‘genderqueer’ and ‘pansexual’ identities
A BBC programme aimed at nine- to 12-year-olds includes the astonishing claim that there are ‘over 100 gender identities’.
The film, ‘Identity – Understanding Sexual and Gender Identities’, is being offered on the corporation’s website as part of its relationships and sex education package.
It comes despite Government guidance published last year which advised schools to exercise caution when teaching children about gender issues.
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole defends Sloan hypocrisy
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole defends decision to back, then oust, Sloan
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says he was once willing to give his former leadership rival Derek Sloan the benefit of the doubt, but no longer.
And he dismissed the idea that kicking Sloan out of caucus this week has pitted him against one of the party’s most powerful wings, social conservatives, whose support O’Toole courted directly during the leadership race last year in part by backing Sloan at the time.
What Was Amazon Waiting For? The timing of the tech giant’s offer to assist vaccine distribution efforts raises some eyebrows.
January 20 was Inauguration Day. It was also the day that a major American employer offered to help in the Covid-19 vaccination effort. In a letter from Amazon’s Worldwide Consumer CEO Dave Clark to newly inaugurated President Joe Biden, the company offered to vaccinate its more than 800,000 “essential” employees and “to leverage our operations, information technology, and communications capabilities and expertise to assist your administration’s vaccination efforts.”
Intelligence Analysts Use U.S. Smartphone Location Data Without Warrants, Memo Says
WASHINGTON — A military arm of the intelligence community buys commercially available databases containing location data from smartphone apps and searches it for Americans’ past movements without a warrant, according to an unclassified memo obtained by The New York Times.
Defense Intelligence Agency analysts have searched for the movements of Americans within a commercial database in five investigations over the past two and a half years, agency officials disclosed in a memo they wrote for Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon.
