Science isn’t what it used to be. And I don’t mean because Dr. Fauci is getting old and is about to retire.
(Yet another) case in point: Scientific American Magazine, a once respected monthly, recently put out a bizarre series of tweets effectively suggesting that earlier Western scientists just concocted the idea of two sexes…to serve the interests of the white supremacist patriarchy.
A senior Justice Department official referred to a highly regarded religious liberty organization as a “hate group” in a recent LinkedIn post.
Eric P. Bruskin, assistant director of the commercial litigation branch in the Justice Department’s Civil Division, used the term to describe Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal advocacy group founded in 1993.
The Justice Department’s social media policy discourages employee comments that could be “perceived as showing prejudice” toward characteristics such as religion.

Finding a girlfriend is hard enough without having to learn about ‘vulva-owners of multiple genders’
For young men, adolescence has always been a difficult time. I remember it well. The insecurity. The awkwardness. The peer pressure. Looking back, though, there’s one thing I’m profoundly grateful for.
At least in my day we didn’t have to know what a polyamorous pansexual AFAB was.
Today’s young men have no such luck. I’ve just been reading the agony uncle page on the website of Men’s Health, the world’s biggest men’s magazine. An unnamed young man has written in because he’s confused about his sexuality. “If I’m sexually attracted to people AFAB because of anatomy,” he asks, “does that make me pansexual?”
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, Sept 6 (Reuters) – Russia’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday that the United States had fomented Europe’s gas supply crisis by pushing European leaders towards the “suicidal” step of cutting economic and energy cooperation with Moscow.
Europe is facing its worst gas supply crisis ever, with energy prices soaring and German importers even discussing possible rationing in the European Union’s biggest economy after Russia reduced gas flows westwards.
UNESCO is training and recruiting teachers as a key part of its global effort to combat what it considers problematic information and ideas
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, better known by its acronym, UNESCO, is escalating its global war on ideas and information it considers to be “misinformation” and “conspiracy theories.”
According to the Paris-based U.N. education agency, which released a major report on the subject for educators this summer, conspiracy theories cause “significant harm” and form “the backbone of many populist movements.”
A teacher in Ireland has been suspended from work and then jailed for contempt of court after he refused to use the correct pronouns to address a transgender student.
Enoch Burke was arrested on Monday for violating a court order barring him from teaching at Wilson’s Hospital School in Westmeath, or even being present there, the news site RTE.ie reported.
Worried about a potential return of Donald Trump, abortion rights, and the general state of the country, wealthy Democrats are looking to buy their way out. Here’s how it works.
For years, David Lesperance, an immigration attorney who helps wealthy Americans obtain second citizenships, saw a similar type of client: millionaire MAGA-heads, Silicon Valley libertarians, new-money crypto investors—basically, rich guys who wanted out of the U.S. tax system. But in recent months, he’s seen an increase in a surprising clientele: moneyed liberals who are terrified about the political future of the country and want an escape plan.
“I was on vacation two weeks ago, I answered emails and I set up phone calls for when I came back,” Lesperance said. “In the last week I had nine new inquiries. Typically I may get one or two a week.”
BS. They never leave.

First the US and the UK, and now India. Relatively smooth relations between India and Canada are about to rock due to an ongoing controversy.
In the last few decades, Canada has become the destination of choice for Khalistani terrorists and their sympathizers. Successive governments in Canada, either out of unawareness or perhaps deferring to the influential Sikh vote bank chose to turn a blind eye to Khalistani extremism. And see, where it led Canada now.
Can Pierre Poilievre contain the populist beast he has unleashed?
The polarizing Conservative leadership front-runner “caught a tiger by the tail and he may not be able to control what he has created.”
Having just watched the first episode of the hyped-up “Rings of Power” streaming series, it got me thinking about the upcoming Sept. 10 coronation of Pierre Poilievre and the path the new leader of the federal Conservative party will choose as the ring-bearer of the Official Opposition.
Like the dwarves who dug too deep for riches in the mines of Moria, Poilievre has plumbed the depths of social media for conspiracy theories and grievance rhetoric, coming up with campaign gold by embracing the freedom convoy and anti-vaxxers. It has earned him a ton cash for party coffers and a record number of new memberships.
The question now is whether Poilievre can contain the populist beast he has unleashed by channelling his inner Stephen Harper, or whether he’d rather hop on its back, ring firmly embedded, and burn the place down.
