‘Systemic racism’ is a conspiracy theory

The narrative behind movements like Black Lives Matter contends that hundreds – if not thousands – of black Americans are murdered by the state on an annual basis, that harassment and abuse of blacks by whites is constant, and that virtually all gaps in performance between racial groups must reflect hidden racism. These claims are almost universally false. But they have been accepted as conventional wisdom.

“Check your aversion to Rebel Media”: Feds circulate our report on masks

Liberal party staffers circulated a story published by Rebel News last year, asking Minister of Health Patty Hajdu and staff to “check” their “aversion” and review our interview concerning a Chinese manufacturer trying to send medical supplies to Canada.

From there, a Hajdu staffer forwarded the email chain to a staffer working for Minister of Procurement Anita Anand.

Impeachment blunder: Author of tweet introduced at trial says it was falsified, misinterpreted

The author of a tweet introduced by Democrats at the Senate impeachment trial said Thursday her statement “we are bringing the Calvary” was a clear reference to a prayer vigil organized by churchgoers supporting Trump and not a call for military-like violence at the Capitol riot as portrayed by Rep. Eric Swalwell.

Jennifer Lynn Lawrence also said she believes the California Democrat and House impeachment manager falsified her tweet, adding a blue check mark to the version he introduced at the trial suggesting she was a verified Twitter user with more clout when in fact her Twitter account never had a blue check and has never been verified.

MAGA Blood Libel: Why Are They Hiding The Medical Report?

The stakes are high: Officer Sicknick’s death is the only purported death by a largely tourist crowd that was let into the building by police, stayed inside the velvet ropes, seemed at least partly there out of confusion, for social media clout, or just for the memes, and that even the New York Times conceded caused limited property damage.

Violent arrest of skateboarder aided by CBC employee

A video has recently gone viral of police in Barrie, Ontario performing a very physical arrest on a young man who was skateboarding. Allegedly, the 20-year-old man had ran a red light. The officers involved shoved the man’s face into the cold, snowy pavement and also at another point hit him with a Taser, threatening to “light [the skateboarder] up.”

In a strange twist, a third man came over to assist the officers in their efforts to restrain the man — while wearing a CBC jacket. It was later revealed that the CBC employee was also a volunteer auxiliary Ontario Provincial Police officer.

Travel Ban: White House Considers Restricting Travel To And From … Florida

Trump never did this, right? It wouldn’t have been in keeping with his “reopen everything ASAP” approach to the pandemic. The closest he got that I can recall was in the earliest days of COVID last March, when most of the country was seeing relatively low caseloads but New York City was blowing up. At that moment the virus could still semi-plausibly be framed by Republicans as a “blue-state problem,” in which case why not seal off the blue states where the problem was raging? Trump’s former pandemic advisor, Tom Bossert, explicitly called for a cordon sanitaire of NYC at the time, in fact.

KUREK, MP: Trudeau pushing Westerners toward independence

Alberta has become one of the best places in the world to live, work, and invest in, even though the current challenges we face can overshadow those accomplishments. I’m both a proud Canadian and Albertan. I take pride in the knowledge that my nation has benefited immensely as a result of my province’s success. However, it’s clear that Alberta has not always been treated as an equal and respected partner in our federation.
