The family of Kyle Rittenhouse says an online store they set up to sell merchandise in order to raise money for his legal defense has dropped them after allegedly receiving a complaint.
“Our printing platform, Printful, has placed all unfulfilled orders on hold and denied any additional orders. They say it is because our merchandise violates their ‘Acceptable Use’ policy,” said a Twitter post from the family Monday evening.

Canada’s Pandemic Response Deeply Flawed, Says Former Provincial Emergency Agency Chief
The premise and focus of Canada’s pandemic response has been misguided—but it’s not too late to change course, says a former emergency management expert and retired Canadian army officer, who has been trying to get all of Canada’s premiers on board with his detailed action plan since the spring.
David Redman is a former executive director of the Alberta Emergency Management Agency who later spent nearly 10 years as an organizational consultant working on best practices for emergency management. He also served as an officer with the Canadian Armed Forces for 27 years, leading complex missions as lieutenant-colonel.
Viewers have been warned about an ‘outright offensive’ character in the iconic movie Flash Gordon.
The British Board of Film Classification has added a warning about Ming the Merciless, advising the audience that the character played by the late Swedish actor Max von Sydow is a ‘discriminatory stereotype’.
The 1980 movie was reclassified as a 12A earlier this year, and the BBFC said Ming is ‘coded as an east Asian character’ and would now be considered, ‘dubious if not outright offensive’.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is in trouble. Ford surprised a lot of people by announcing a sweeping shutdown on Monday. He’s in trouble because a lot of people don’t think a sweeping shutdown is necessary.
He’s also in trouble because other people think the shutdown is entirely necessary, but isn’t happening fast enough. Reports originally said it would start just after midnight on Thursday, but the government shifted the date until Saturday, with Ford arguing businesses needed more time to prepare.
The borders are fine, there is nothing to worry about but we have still banned flights from the United Kingdom.
That was essentially the message from a gaggle of cabinet ministers and public health officials who were trotted out to discuss Canada’s response to a new strain of COVID-19 found in Britain and the decision to ban flights from the UK.
Germany’s UN envoy, during his last scheduled UN Security Council meeting, appealed to China to free two detained Canadians for Christmas, prompting China’s deputy UN envoy to respond: “Out of the bottom of my heart: Good riddance.”
Germany finishes a two-year term on the 15-member council at the end of this month and Ambassador Christoph Heusgen plans to retire after more than 40 years as a diplomat.
“Let me end my tenure on the Security Council by appealing to my Chinese colleagues to ask Beijing for the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. Christmas is the right moment for such a gesture,” Mr. Heusgen told the council session, whose official agenda topic was Iran.
CALGARY — The NDP criticized on Tuesday freshly-unveiled clean fuel standards, after a government impact analysis said higher fuel costs will hit lower- and middle-income households hardest.
The Clean Fuel Standard, a key part of Ottawa’s climate plan, was released in draft form last week and aims to reduce the carbon content of liquid fuels, such as those used in transportation and to heat homes. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals say it will cut annual emissions by more than 20 megatons by 2030.
Why does the left stick with shutdowns when it’s clear that they destroy small business? Simple. That’s the signature of communists consolidating their power.
At this most magical time of year, I hope you’re sitting uncomfortably – perhaps listening to the problematic lyrics of your favourite banned carol, settling in for socially distanced merriment and bemoaning the impact of climate change on the chances of a white Christmas. Most people will agree that 2020 has been a stinker of a year, but for those of us on the front lines of the ‘TERF wars’ there have been some huge gains against the joyless gender fascists. It seems the green shoots of reason are finally visible.
“We know people may have made mistakes over the Thanksgiving time period,” Dr. Birx scolded the nation on CBS’ Face the Nation. “If you’re young and you gathered, you need to be tested about five to 10 days later. But you need to assume that you’re infected.”
Then Birx made her own “mistake”.
I am writing this column upon returning home to California after five days in Florida. For the first time since my first trip to Los Angeles in 1974 and moving there two years later, I dreaded going to California.
Teen Vogue has rolled out an ultra-inclusive anatomically-based new category of person in its never-ending bid to avoid offending anyone, and social media users are rolling in the aisles at the result. Behold “vagina owners.”
A recent report that reviewed the cost-benefit balance of lockdowns, widely imposed by governments around the world to prevent the spread of the CCP virus, said the restrictions do more harm to public health quality than no restrictions.
Biden and his gang of retreads from the largely unsuccessful Obama-Biden Administration aren’t running against Trump anymore. So now what?
There is substantial danger that the approaching Biden Administration will enter office determined to execute a 180-degree policy course change in almost every field, partly out of the spiteful and irrational antagonism that swiftly arose in opposition to Donald Trump, and partly from the perversity, obsolescence, and reactionary contrariety of current Democratic policy thinking.
The 2020 election is over. Joe Biden came out on top, but allegations of voter fraud remain. We have witness statements, affidavits, and allegations of other funny business that involved the mail-in voting process. There’s a reason why Europe has banned mail-in voting; fraud is likely. At the very least, it presents itself with the opportunity and we all know Democrats would certainly take it.
