UN calls out ‘grotesque greed’ of energy companies — Canada should do more to tax the industry, NDP says

Canada’s Ministry of Finance says it’s aiming to make everyone pay “their fair share of tax” but is not committing to an elevated tax on energy companies who are reporting sizeable windfalls while consumers feel pinched at the gas pumps.

The ministry’s statement comes on the heels of United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres sharply criticizing the world’s energy companies for making a profit at the expense of the poor.

On Wednesday, Guterres said the world’s top energy companies made $100 billion in the first quarter of this year and that those profits should be taxed and then used to support the most vulnerable people through difficult times.

Trans prisoner who impregnated two female inmates is ‘psychopath’: foster mom

Demi Minor – Psychotranny

Depending on who you ask, the 27-year-old inmate who impregnated two women in a New Jersey prison earlier this year is either a martyr to the transgender cause — or a cold-blooded killer who got involved in a messy love triangle behind bars.

It’s Tough Being a Leftist: Equity Committee Commits Accidental Hate Crime

Identity politics is a tough business: you can’t take a step these days without offending someone, and that applies even to the Leftists who have appointed themselves the guardians of acceptable opinion. The Hanover County Public School district in Virginia on Wednesday apologized for the logo of their Unified Professional Learning Conference, which was supposed to be all about promoting “equity,” that is, the Left’s privileging of its favored groups. Instead, the logo strongly resembles the official emblem of Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist (Nazi) Party. Jewish organizations have protested, and aghast district officials have hastily withdrawn the logo and apologized. They have the usual Leftist blind spots, and those blind spots are showing.

The alleged wannabe Kavanaugh assassin wasn’t just an ordinary guy

When Nicholas Roske learned that Roe v. Wade might be overturned, he grabbed a kidnapping and murder kit and headed over to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house, hoping to make Kavanaugh the first in a trio of Supreme Court justice killings. Thankfully, even though federal and state law enforcement did almost nothing (despite laws on the books) to protect justices from protests at their house (a perfect cover for Roske), Roske was caught in time. Now we’re learning that Roske isn’t just another crazy leftist: He’s a crazy leftist who also thinks he’s a woman.

University puts a TRIGGER warning on religious medieval text because of ‘graphic’ and ‘upsetting’ content

University professors have applied trigger warnings to an 800-year-old religious text because the miracles described could be ‘graphic’.

History students at Manchester Metropolitan University will now be alerted to the potentially graphic content in a translation of the Miracles of the Hand of St James – a medieval text that describes the alleged miracles attributed to the mummified hand of St James.

Students set to study the historical text are first told: ‘Warning. Some of the miracles can be pretty graphic and may be off-putting to some.’
