Far-left groups, including racial activists and socialists, used Facebook to organize 14 protests in eight days over the outcome of the Derek Chauvin trial. The site previously sheltered far-left Antifa-related activist organizations such as “All Out DC” that reportedly spread posters with the personal information of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, in an effort to “Block the Alt-Right.” Smash Racism DC allegedly broke Carlson’s door and frightened his wife. Both pages remain functional on Facebook.

Executive Order Canceling the Constitution
On April 15, Preident Biden signed an Executive Order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation. Contrary to its title, this EO is not about Russia. It is designed to allow the Biden administration to deprive American citizens and organizations of their rights and property by arbitrarily linking those persons to real, imagined, or vaguely defined activities of the Russian government.

AOC says ‘trampling’ of ‘indigenous rights’ and ‘racial justice’ is a cause of climate change
“The climate crisis is a crisis born of injustice, and it is a crisis born of the pursuit of profit at any and all human and ecological cost, which means that we must recognize in legislation that the trampling of indigenous rights is a cause of climate change,” the New York Democrat said, “that the trampling of racial justice is a cause of climate change because we are allowing people and we are allowing folks to deny ourselves human rights and deny people the right to healthcare, the right to housing and education.”
Biden Education Department Wants To Prioritize Critical Race Theory And 1619 Project In School Curriculum
The Education Department has proposed a rule that would prioritize grant applications to school districts wanting to include critical race theory, the 1619 Project, and so-called anti-racism studies into their civics curriculum.
Legal Insurrection reported that the Education Department proposed the new rule on Monday in an apparent move to continue reversing the Trump administration’s prohibition on critical race theory in the federal government trainings.
In the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency, the big three cable TV networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) unleashed a barrage of negative attacks on the president. According to the Media Research Center (MRC), the legacy media networks hammered Trump with 89 percent negative coverage. Yet in the first few months of Joe Biden’s presidency, the coverage flipped.
Surely there must have been people in cabinet, in caucus, who could have told Ford he was yet again courting disaster. Instead he blundered straight into it.
A Lancet report published Thursday from epidemiologists and experts across both Canada, U.S. and the U.K. found an overwhelming amount of evidence that the disease was spread through aerosols — tiny airborne particles that come from people’s mouths when they breathe, talk or cough.
That’s not really a rhetorical question. The past 72 hours in Ontario have been, with no exaggeration, the most bizarre three days I’ve ever covered — or even witnessed. There are four or five different columns I could write about it, and all would cover some entirely distinct, eye-popping angle. There’s the “dozens of police forces refuse premier’s offer of power to arbitrarily stop and interrogate any citizen without limit” column. There’s an entire column about what the new police powers — even the lesser, revised versions — mean. There’s a border-closure column. There’s a column about the insanity of closing playgrounds. There’s a column about the volcanic eruption of public anger after the new emergency measures were announced on Friday. You could do an entirely separate one just on the astonishing outpouring of on-background-only and off-the-record wailing and horror by Progressive Conservatives themselves, the likes of which I have never seen.
Hospitals are shifting critically ill patients around, looking for any empty bed. Nurses and doctors are putting in exhaustion-defying amounts of overtime. Some provinces are opening new intensive care unit capacity.
But it may not be enough to stave off a point no one wants to reach in the pandemic — when only a handful of ICU beds remain but a greater number of patients need those spots.
Supporters of consensual incest are advocating for the taboo arrangement to be decriminalized after the recent story about an anonymous New York couple suing to have the state’s anti-incest laws overturned.
Erin O’Toole Is Treating Canadian Conservatives With Undisguised Contempt
When someone lies to you over and over and over again, so blatantly, without even pretending to tell the truth, and then expects you to go along with it, what does that person think of you?
How angry is the Tory backbench right now?
The Doug Ford government has not, as of Monday, come anywhere close to fixing what it broke on Friday. That could cost the Tories the next election, if Ford even makes it that far.
It’s often said that success in politics is about dividing your enemies and unifying your allies. Ford, his cabinet, and his caucus have managed the rather spectacular feat of dividing their allies and unifying their enemies. And the task of getting back on a solid footing for next year’s election is going to be in large part about trying to reverse the damage of the past two weeks — and especially the damage of the past 96 hours.
NDP leader asks Trudeau to consider invoking Emergencies Act in Ontario
The act, which has never been used, gives the federal government the power to override provincial laws to ensure “safety and security” during national emergencies.
"It is completely unethical that high-income countries are now vaccinating young and healthy people if that happens at the expense of people in risk groups… in low- and middle-income countries.

Biden Wants Your Guns
Citing a “gun violence public health epidemic,” President Biden has promised both executive and legislative action against firearms rights. Epidemic? Homicides, including gun homicides, trended steadily downward from the early 1990s through 2019. The surge in crime and homicides starting in 2020 coincided with the riots, urban disorder, and defund-the-police activism that roiled America last summer.
