Lincoln Project’s sordid spiral leaves members disgraced, betrayed, and in some cases, rich

On Friday, Abraham Lincoln’s 221st birthday, a dwindling group of Never Trump Republicans were left to survey the ruins of their once-promising organization, named for the 16th president and seemingly done in by a tide of sex, money, and betrayal scandals that would have made Honest Abe cringe.

The Lincoln Project, which just a month ago was awash in cash and planning an ambitious transformation into a media powerhouse, absorbed its latest gut punch Thursday night in a drama that played out on Twitter. The group’s account tweeted screenshots of private messages from a journalist in an apparent, and shocking, bid to intimidate other reporters and discredit a flurry of damaging stories.

Prof Says He’s ‘Struggling’ with His Christian Faith Because of Trump, But Beheadings Shouldn’t Reflect on Islam

TDS is a terrible thing.

Religions shouldn’t be considered responsible for the misdeeds of their followers, right? That has been the consistent establishment media line on Islam since 9/11, and before that, and it has been enshrined in public policy on both sides of the Atlantic and become axiomatic in the West’s approach to terrorism.

But wait. Issac Bailey is a columnist and a professor of Public Policy at Davidson College in North Carolina. He writes in Newsweek: “If Christianity can convince so many to follow a man like Trump almost worshipfully—or couldn’t at least help millions discern the unique threat Trump represented—what good is it really?” So now apparently the followers of a religion do reflect on the religion itself – if the religion is Christianity, and the evil follower is Donald Trump.

“It’s horror”: The green urinals of Paris turn into a fiasco – thousands of Euros pissed away!

(Note – Google translate) Installed in the summer of 2020 in the Chapel district, the “Naturinoirs”, which were to aid in the greening of the district, turned into a total fiasco. Dilapidated, unsanitary and inefficient, they are now closed to the public.

It was a foregone conclusion. Less than six months after their installation, the “Naturinoirs” of Paris have already become giant bins. Basically, reports Le Parisien , the three installations – two urinals and a cabin – were to allow urine to be recycled, in order to transform the latter into fertilizer. Unfortunately, the “Naturinoirs” do not work, the shadow of the neighborhood prevents the solar panels powering the equipment from working. Worse, the huge tanks, which can contain 1000 liters of urine, leak … After barely a few weeks, the “Naturinoirs” are extremely damaged, and no longer work at all. And local residents describe the unpleasant consequences of this failure to the Parisian :The vespasians never worked! says a local resident. It was horror. Liters of piss flowing on the pavement and no one to clean up. The horror! “

Male interns at the Lincoln Project reveal ‘explicit messages sent to them by married co-founder’

The Lincoln Project has pledged to appoint an outside investigator to probe claims that they knew about sexual misconduct allegations against co-founder John Weaver before he left the organization.

Weaver, 61, parted ways with the anti-Trump super-PAC last month following a report in The New York Times that he offered young men professional support in exchange for sex.

But on Thursday, the Associated Press reported that members of the organization’s leadership were informed in writing and in subsequent phone calls of at least 10 specific allegations of sexual harassment against Weaver as early as last June.

Now the EU screws Canada: Country runs out of covid vaccine after Brussels seizes veto over exports

No worries. Justin has a back-up plan.

Canada has been dragged into the EU’s vaccine chaos with Pfizer and Moderna both cutting back deliveries from Europe while Brussels goes to war on jab exports to rescue its own stumbling vaccine roll-out.

With no home-grown vaccines in Canada and no jabs being shipped from the United States, the country is reliant on factories in Europe to supply the doses.


Moderna shorts Canada again and falls 1.3 million doses behind delivery target

Canada will receive 82,000 fewer doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in the next shipment, leaving the company to fill a 1.3-million dose shortfall in March in order to meet the federal government’s targets.

The reduction is the latest blow to the federal government’s vaccine deliveries which have also seen Pfizer significantly reducing the doses Canada has received in recent weeks.

Government missed out on an offer of N95 masks at the start of the pandemic: documents

Documents tabled with the House of Commons health committee show the federal government missed an opportunity to purchase critical pandemic-related supplies at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic — scarce personal protective equipment (PPE) that medical professionals scrambled to obtain in the weeks that followed.

CBC News has reviewed thousands of pages of internal government documents that have been turned over to MPs on the committee, which is probing Canada’s pandemic response to this point.

The many emails depict a government grappling with a sudden crisis and the rush to secure the equipment the country needed as it faced down the surging pandemic.

For your amusement… 14-minute video of the MAGA riot Democrats say proves that Donald Trump should be convicted

Democrats began their impeachment case against Trump Tuesday afternoon with a video of profanity and violence during the January 6 MAGA attack on the Capitol.

The more than 14-minute video presented at the top of the Democrats’ case for conviction included snappy cuts between the violence of the pro-Trump mob and the former president’s speech just beforehand.
