World Is Shocked, Appalled, Delighted at Mob Assault on U.S. Capitol Building

The world’s reaction to the assault on the Capitol building by pro-Trump mobs ranged from delight to horror, depending on their views of America. Those who see the U.S. as an enemy, like Iran and China, found a measure of schadenfreude in the incident after the United States had spent decades trashing their government’s repression.

‘NDP on Steroids’: Former Liberal Insiders Lament Party’s Veer to the Left

A former Liberal Party president and a former longtime Liberal MP say the party has veered too far to the left and alienated many veteran Liberals.

Six-term Liberal MP Dan McTeague sat in the House of Commons representing southern Ontario ridings from 1993 to 2011, and was active in the party going back to the late 1970s.

But McTeague says that his former party is now Liberal in name only.

Zuckerberg Bans Trump From FB, Instagram “Indefinitely”

Last night, Facebook followed Twitter in imposing a one-day ban on Donald Trump over its social-media platforms. On second thought this morning, Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t want to spend the next two weeks having to guess when to pull that trigger again. Instead, Facebook and Instagram will lock out the president of the United States until he goes into retirement…

Russiagate Democrats blame PUTIN for crowd that stormed US Capitol protesting ‘stolen’ US election

Having spent four years insisting Russia ‘hacked’ the US election for President Donald Trump, some prominent Democrats are now blaming Moscow for Americans who stormed the US Capitol protesting the 2020 results.

As thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington, DC on Wednesday for a ‘Stop the Steal’ rally and Congress met to certify the Electoral College votes that would make Democrat Joe Biden the next US president, a group of protesters stormed the Capitol and interrupted the lawmakers.

I bet a majority would say “Inspired”… Trudeau says Canadians ‘deeply disturbed’ by violence in Washington D.C.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today that Canadians are “deeply disturbed and saddened” by the violent actions of Trump supporters in Washington D.C. and that democracy in the United States “must be upheld.”

“Violence will never succeed in overruling the will of the people. Democracy in the U.S. must be upheld — and it will be,” Trudeau said in a social media post this evening.

Earlier tonight, Trudeau told radio listeners tuning in to News 1130 in Vancouver that he was concerned by the violence erupting in Washington D.C. and was watching the “situation minute by minute as it unfolds.”

FBI seeking public’s help identifying DC rioters

The FBI is seeking the public’s help identifying the rioters who barged into the Capitol building on Wednesday.

The federal agency said in a statement that it is looking for footage from the chaos that left a trail of destruction and sent lawmakers into lockdown.

I don’t recall them being this gung ho about antifa, and what about that Russia thing?

Public Safety Minister Details China’s Infiltration in Canada in Letter to MPs

Public Safety Minister Bill Blair revealed how China steals commercial secrets and technology from Canada and how the communist regime uses covert programs to silence overseas dissent.

In a letter to members of parliament, obtained by Global News, Blair said China is the most robust foreign interference actor in Canada, while Russia and several other countries are behind similar activities.

“Through investigations and monitoring, we continue to identify and shed light on the multiple ways foreign interference manifests itself in Canada, allowing us to be well-armed with the knowledge needed to deploy our tools to counter it,” Blair wrote in the letter.

Pretty sick coming from the CCP lackey LPC.

Capitol siege: An eyewitness account from inside the House chamber

Jamie Stiehm is a US political columnist who was in the Capitol building in Washington DC when it was stormed by pro-Trump rioters. Here’s what she saw from the press gallery in the House of Representatives.

I had told my sister earlier: “Something bad is going to happen today. I don’t know what, but something bad will happen.”

Outside the Capitol, I encountered a group of very boisterous supporters of President Donald Trump, all waving flags and pledging their allegiance to him. There was a sense that trouble was brewing.

GOLDSTEIN: Politicians have lost the moral authority to lead in a pandemic

With the public’s faith in politicians undermined by the “rules for thee, but not for me” mentality of those who fled the country during the Christmas break — while their governments told us to stay in our homes — Canada’s political class faces a serious challenge.

How far can the political leaders of rule-breaking politicians push law-abiding citizens to follow pandemic lockdown rules which seem increasingly arbitrary, nonsensical and unfair.

Waving Goodbye to the America We All Knew and Loved

My generation believed in the United States. We believed in its respect for the individual, in its Constitution, in its status as the only benign superpower in history. In other words, we believed in American exceptionalism. “Traditional American values are worthy of a passionate defense,” said author and TV commentator Monica Crowley. Referring to these values as “the American project,” Charles Murray, author of Coming Apart, defined it as the continuing effort “to demonstrate that human beings can be left free as individuals and families to live their lives as they see fit, coming together voluntarily to solve their joint problems.” If you boil it down, what makes our society unique in world history is the respect accorded the rights of the individual citizen. The Constitution was written as a restraint on the power of the government to interfere in our lives.

How Not to Celebrate the New Year

England’s celebrated black poet turns down a knighthood to protest evil, racist England.

There lives in London a certain George Mpanga, age 29, who is the son of Ugandan immigrants and who calls himself George the Poet. Unlike most poets, he has been widely celebrated for his work. He was nominated for a BRIT Award (the UK equivalent of the Grammys), elected to Arts Council England (rather like the NEA), and chosen to read a poem at the beginning of the BBC coverage of Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle. In 2019, his podcast was nominated for the British Podcast Awards (yes, that’s a thing) in six categories.

Lap Dances, Karaoke, Late Hours: The Speakeasies of the Covid Era

In Brooklyn, investigators arrived at a bar in December to discover exotic dancers giving lap dances to patrons behind a locked door as music blared, state officials said.

At a karaoke bar in Queens, officers found eight rooms filled with people and a manager, none wearing a mask. Just three days earlier, police had discovered a nearly identical scene at the same spot.

And at a locked-up lounge in the Bronx, investigators slipped in through a side door and stumbled upon more than 50 people smoking hookah and not wearing face masks, officials said.
