Here’s your daily (or hourly?) reminder that politicians have outlived their usefulness.
According to a new article out at The Grio, Democrat Jamaal Bailey, a New York state senator, introduced a bill to revamp the hair industry and advance “hair texture inclusion” so people with all different hair types can pop in for a haircut anywhere, and expect trained staff
Even if someone looks like a man, talks like a man and actually is a man, you can now get yourself in trouble if you refer to him as a man. That’s the take-home message of last week’s social-media bust-up over Melissa Poulton, previously known as Matthew Viner.

Former college swimming star Riley Gaines has accused a female cyclist of being a ‘traitor to women’ for defending two transgender athletes who beat her.
Kristin Chalmers finished third to trans women Tessa Johnson and Evelyn Williamson at the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships on December 3.
Their victory in the women’s singlespeed category sparked outrage among female athletes and anti-trans campaigners, including Gaines.

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the Conservative party has been successful at “scapegoating” the carbon price as the reason everything is more expensive.
Trudeau says in a year-end interview with The Canadian Press that the carbon price is not to blame for the cost-of-living crisis, and eliminating it will neither lower prices nor make climate action cheaper.
He says cancelling it, as the Conservatives are demanding, would also eliminate rebate cheques that are worth between $240 and $386 every three months for a family of four in most provinces.
It’s like government by Tourette’s.

Canada announced a plan to encourage farmers to reduce emissions from cattle through a credit trading system, the latest climate-change initiative introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.
The Reducing Enteric Methane Emissions from Beef Cattle proposal would grant farmers who reduce methane emissions generated by cow burps to earn credits that can be sold to other businesses to meet their own emission targets.
Should doctors know how to treat people for disease or how to promote a Left-wing version of social justice?
You probably have a different answer than the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada, which is considering a proposal from its Anti-Racism Expert Working Group, which has decided that Western medical knowledge and practice are superfluous to medical education, at least when weighed against social justice concerns.

Celebrations will be kept to a minimum in the birthplace of Jesus as Palestinian Christians recognise the suffering of their ‘brothers and sisters’ in Gaza
In Bethlehem, the West Bank town where Jesus was born, the carol singing has been cancelled, the fairy lights dimmed and the tree never put up.
Christmas will be less festive this year after the churches of the Holy Land demanded a more solemn period of reflection in recognition of the suffering felt by the people of Gaza. Israeli attacks have killed more than 17,000 people there since the Hamas attacks that killed 1,400 Israelis on October 7. In the town’s Lutheran church, the Nativity scene depicts a child buried in rubble.

Schoolchildren have been taught that St Hadrian was black despite there being no evidence for the claim.
The Dark Age abbot St Hadrian of Canterbury has been referred to as a “black scholar” in primary school teaching material, despite the holy man being of north African origin and not black.
The seventh-century abbot has been included in numerous overviews of black British history, including those provided by charities and local councils.
Several scientist members of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) want more influence over governments to bring about their radical and potentially deadly climate policies. “Five lead authors of IPCC reports” insisted “that scientists should be given the right to make policy prescriptions and, potentially, to oversee their implementation by the 195 states signed up to the U.N. framework convention on climate change,” The Guardian’s Arthur Neslen reported Thursday.
“At some point we need to say that if you want to achieve this aim set by policymakers then certain policies need to be implemented,” said IPCC Vice-Chair Sonia Seneviratne. The “policies” Seneviratne is referring to are “fossil fuel cuts and phaseouts,” reported Neslen.
