The Small Town Tearing Itself Apart Over Preferred Pronouns

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa.—Just days after President Trump was sworn in for a second term in January, an ebullient local pastor approached the microphone at the school-board meeting here.

“Wow, what a difference a week makes, huh?” Doug Lamb, of nearby LifeGate Church told the board during the public-comment section. “It’s great to have the new administration in there, and I know that’s gonna be a little bit of your assistance behind you as schools have to make hard decisions like we’re discussing tonight.”

The board had already been conservative, but now it had the momentum of national politics on its side. The “hard decisions” became reality when they voted 8-1 to ban transgender athletes from contact sports and mandate parental permission for name or pronoun changes. A Christian religious-rights law firm, now working with 14 districts in Pennsylvania, helped draft the policies.

This lawyer’s not just battling prorogation. He’s battling ‘corrupt’ Justin Trudeau

Liberals are magicians. Through sleights of hand and by proroguing Parliament, the Liberals could yet win another election with a new leader.

Not so fast, shout defenders of democracy. David MacKinnon and Aris Lavranos — both living in Nova Scotia, both lawyers — have asked the Federal Court to weigh in on whether Trudeau’s proroguing of Parliament was legal. Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a non-profit founded by John Carpay, offered up a legal team from Charter Advocates Canada. And on Feb. 13 and 14, Chief Justice Paul Crampton heard arguments for and against prorogation, and committed to rendering a swift decision before the issue becomes moot.

Americans were told a ‘multi-racial boom’ would radically change the nation. Experts say it was a ‘lefty’ plot

Game of Life – featuring dangerous looking white people in what may be an intact family.

Five years ago, it looked as if the racial and ethnic make-up of America was undergoing an unprecedented shift, with a large drop in the number of people classified as ‘white’.

The US Census Bureau’s 2020 tally showed a 276 percent jump in the number of multiracial people, while the white-only group fell from 72.4 percent of the population to 61.6 percent over that decade.

Now, it seems, this shift had more to do with how federal government demographers classified people than any actual changes in the make-up of the 331,449,281 people recorded in the census.

The Ivanpah death ray dies with a whimper–and our cash

“Renewable,” “sustainable” energy was supposed to be the salvation of mankind. It promised cheap, unlimited energy more than sufficient to meet all mankind’s present and future needs, and to successfully address the existential threat of global cooling,,,oops. I mean global warming…darn! I mean climate change, yeah, that’s the ticket.

Even before Donald Trump won reelection, however, it was becoming increasingly clear climate change was perhaps history’s most profitable scam—for the scammers—and renewable energy like wind and solar couldn’t meet our current needs, to say nothing of future needs, and was far less reliable and far more expensive than fossil fuels. It was also clear these miraculous sources of energy couldn’t exist without massive government subsidies, which, with electric vehicles, have all been part of the “Green New Deal” climate change scam.

No one cares about the Ontario election. Was that Doug Ford’s plan?

Susan Delacourt: I don’t know if you’ve noticed, Matt, but we are days away from an Ontario election. While it’s dangerous to make predictions in politics these days, you want to take a guess at what we might see when all the votes are tallied Thursday night?

Matt Gurney: You know, I’ll get to your question in a moment. But I have to share something first. Readers will have guessed how Susan and I do these. We message back and forth, clean up the text and then send it to the editors. Do you know what happened, Susan, between you sending the first message and me replying with this one? It’s very funny.

British historian’s lecture on colonialism cancelled at B.C. theology school

A Vancouver theology school has cancelled a public lecture that was slated for next month by a renowned British historian over his views on Indian Residential Schools and colonialism.

Esteemed ethicist and theologian Nigel Biggar — regius professor emeritus of moral and pastoral theology at the University of Oxford — now says he’s “ashamed to be an alumnus” of Regent College, which called off his March 6 lecture.

Possibly The Dumbest Example Of Waste DOGE Has Discovered (So Far)

There’s something about being exposed that causes stupidity; a kneejerk reaction to push back against reality, no matter how obvious. As DOGE and President Donald Trump work to expose and fight government waste, fraud and abuse (how sad is it that they have to FIGHT Democrats to end those things?), more ways in which the federal government has been doing those things is coming to light.

Donald Trump Could Pull the Funniest, Most Evil Prank EVER on Canada!

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.” —William “Billy Boy” Shakespeare

With all due respect to the Bard, Juliet was absolutely, completely wrong with the aforementioned quote. (But then again, she was a stupid 13-year-old child, which kind of ruins that “romantic” love story.) Turns out, names are incredibly important! Been that way since the Biblical age, when names and titles were Divinely bestowed: Jacob became Israel; Abram became Abraham.

Trump and Intelligence Community Are on a Collision Course as Deadline to Release JFK Files Looms

The keepers of America’s secrets are scrambling. They have two weeks to “present a plan” to President Trump “for the full and complete release of all” records related to President Kennedy’s assassination. Expect intelligence agencies to clash with the White House and public skepticism to grow.

“All is riddle,” Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “and the key to a riddle is another riddle.” Americans have puzzled over Kennedy’s assassination ever since his death at Dallas in 1963. After his slaying, the myth of Camelot was created, and it grows to this day.

I imagine Poilievre looks to the Star for advice on most matters …

A drop in public opinion polls has spooked Pierre Poilievre. Is his best strategy still Justin Trudeau?

Are the federal Conservatives flailing?

In the span of a week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has gone from his previous description of Canada as a country where “everything is broken” to basking in a sea of red and white, and an election-style speech asking supporters, staff and MPs: “Who’s ready to put Canada First”?
