How exactly did Kimberly Cheatle rise the lead the United States Secret Service? A new report points the finger at Jill Biden, stating that she and her top advisor pushed for the appointment.
That decision culminated in an attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday. The former president was shot in the ear, narrowly avoiding death while a chaotic and clumsy response from the Secret Service followed. It was a disastrous event for an agency with a zero-fail mission.
The war between the sexes has ended, and rather than a co-operative future that could benefit all, it has turned out to be more like a lopsided win for the female side. After millennia of power struggles based on such things as biology and social function, the role of women in advanced societies has expanded dramatically, which is generally a good thing but has some rarely cited downsides.
In Britain and elsewhere, too many men and boys are being ostracised, with tragic results for both sexes
We need to talk about boys and men. For there is a growing crisis of masculinity in Britain, and – by tackling only the symptoms and not the causes – we risk making it worse.
In recent months, following the arrest of British-American social media personality Andrew Tate, stories about misogynistic misconduct by police officers, and concerns about sexism among schoolboys, the crisis of masculinity has gained increased prominence. And Labour, which had already attempted to make misogyny a hate crime, sees a political opportunity. Keir Starmer has pledged to halve violence against women – without saying how – and promised to add lessons on treating girls and women with respect to the school curriculum.
Keep your children away from public schools if you can at all avoid them.
There has been a good deal of talk lately about women’s spaces being invaded by biologically male persons identifying as women. Some women’s campaigners claim that the trans phenomenon constitutes an attack on womanhood itself, an attempt to ‘erase’ women and replace them with men who perform womanhood. Some even call it a new form of patriarchy.
But well before women had their single-sex spaces threatened, something similar had already happened to men. Beginning in the 1970s, men’s spaces were usurped, their maleness was denigrated, and policies and laws forced changes in male behaviour that turned many workplaces into feminised fiefdoms in which men held their jobs only so long as women allowed them to. The very idea of an exclusively male workspace or club – especially if it was a space for socialising (not so much if it was a sewer, oil field, or shop floor in which men did unpleasant, dangerous work) – came to be seen as dangerous. In light of the recent furor over single-sex spaces for women, it is useful to consider the source of some men’s justifiable apathy and resentment.
Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s inability, or unwillingness, to provide a definition for the word “woman” makes for a rather silly controversy, but it highlights an important fact: Women don’t actually exist.
Such is the point of Alia Dastagir’s piece in USA Today. According to Dastagir, there “is no sufficient way to clearly define what makes someone a woman.” Dastagir would know, after all: She spoke to “scientists, gender law scholars, and philosophers of biology” who determined that Jackson’s nonanswer was “commendable.”
A recently established standing committee oversees matters relating to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB).
The committee is made up of elected Members of Parliament from each recognized political party. In Canada, a party is only recognized if there are 12 or more members in the House of Commons.
The 12-person committee is 25% Anglophone. Statistics Canada’s most recent study(2016) tell us that 68% of our population is comprised of Anglophones.
The irony arrives in no-uncertain terms. In any situation where “racialized” Canadians are under-represented, multicultural advocates scream for equal representation. In all cases of over-representation, “equality advocates” are silent as the lambs.
“GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime. In light of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, we want to clarify when and why we removed certain fundraisers in the past,” the platform wrote on Twitter with a link to a company statement.
After years of headlines about toxic behaviour and sexual harassment in the ranks, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is reporting it’s falling far behind on hiring women and visible minorities.
The RCMP has revealed part of its strategy to build a more inclusive workforce — and the number of people they’ll have to hire to meet the federal government’s employment equity standards.
The police service says it needs to hire more than 5,100 women to the regular ranks to make up for a 27 per cent shortfall.
That’ll help.
What does it say about the character of a nation when it’s willing to enlist its daughters in the draft?
On December 1, 1969, we senior ROTC guys gathered in front of a dorm TV to watch the Vietnam War draft lottery. We’d already taken our enlistment oaths and completed our six-week basic training at Fort Sill. Come summer, we’d be commissioned officers, headed out to our branch schools. So we were watching with purely academic interest, wondering, “What if the lottery had come two years earlier and we’d made the exemption cut?”
Never mind the evidence on male versus female performance in the military.
The Left’s push for equity might forcefully draft women onto the battlefield.
The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved language in its annual defense policy draft on Wednesday that could potentially require women to register for military conscription. The defense bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), “amends the Military Selective Service Act to require the registration of women for Selective Service.”
The Trudeau government says new regulations forcing federally regulated companies to provide pay equity to men and women will start taking effect at the end of August. Those businesses will have three years to make sure they are in line with the rules.
The Vancouver School Board is cutting all sports programs and all sports competitions because, the school district says, “they do not comply with the equity and inclusion goal of ensuring that all students can participate in every aspect of the curriculum.”
“In other words, if you happened to be a white, male restaurant owner, you were sent to the back of the line to hope that the fund wouldn’t be dried up by the time your turn came.
This led a few of the aforementioned white, male owners to go to court and ask for equal treatment. In a pair of cases decided in just the past week, it looks like the courts agree that such gender or race-based systems of distribution are unconstitutional. The appeals will continue, however.”
Meanwhile in the apartheid state of Trudeaustan …
Federal government launches loan program for Black-owned businesses
OTTAWA — The federal government is opening the doors to a loan program that will provide financing to Black-owned businesses that often face a steep hill to access capital.
The Black Entrepreneurship Loan Fund will provide loans of up to $250,000 for businesses that are majority Black-owned, or entrepreneurs for their startups or existing for-profit small businesses.
Social enterprises, partnerships and co-operative businesses are also eligible for the financing.
Good intentions gone wrong. That is what Spain’s state postal service, Correos, is facing after the launch of “Equality Stamps.”
The stamps were part of a campaign ostensibly meant to combat racism, and they were to debut with different monetary values. The lighter the skin tone, the higher the price of the stamp.

Per the draft, The North Star State’s proposed program focuses on a “more inclusive approach to social studies education.”
