President-elect Donald Trump got immediate backlash when he nominated decorated U.S. Army veteran and Ivy League graduate Pete Hegseth to be his incoming Defense Secretary, with most critics harping on the fact that Hegseth also happened to be a regular cohost on Fox News.
In turn, Hegseth has gotten a fair amount of backlash for his unequivocal statement in a recent interview about the idea of female service members serving in combat roles.
We’ve spent several years now talking about “toxic masculinity,” though I’m not sure what exactly it means. It’s a great example of what Andrew Hofer calls “Trojan terminology” — think “white supremacy,” “settler colonialism,” “anti-racism” etc. These are all phrases where Hofer notes there’s “a larger debate we need to have about the use of neologisms to sneak in all sorts of extra baggage that people disagree about.”
Fine people. And this was before Kamala lost!
On these pages and elsewhere, writers have offered compelling evidence of another shooter and possible U.S. intelligence community involvement in JFK’s assassination, while other writers have rejected this narrative because too many people would have had to know and someone in the know would have spilled the beans.
I don’t know enough to comment on the former, but I do have thoughts on the latter.
It’s a traditional thing: during the transition from one presidential administration to another the outgoing first lady hosts the incoming one for tea and shows her around the White House. This is one of the more genteel accouterments of the peaceful transfer of power in the U.S., but it has become more fiery this time around, as Melania Trump has just declined an invitation from Jill Biden to sit down for a happy transition chat. Ungracious? Bad manners? Hateful? We will be hearing all of that and more from the left’s propaganda organs, but as is always the case, reality is different.
Liberal legacy media outlets are attempting to pivot to the political centre amid declining public trust, shrinking audiences, and tightening margins.
Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times announced that it is forming a new editorial board in an effort to win back trust. “When the President has won the vote of the majority of Americans then ALL voices must be heard,” Pat Soon-Shiong, the outlet’s owner, wrote. “I will work towards making our paper and media fair and balanced so that all voices are heard and we can respectfully exchange every American’s view, from left to right to the center.”

“If we don’t get no justice, then you don’t get no peace.”
So chanted, squawked, and bellowed protesters called to “emergency action” by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) to “shut down” an event Tuesday honouring former prime minister Stephen Harper with the Defender of Israel Award under the Abraham Global Peace Initiative (AGPI.)
Rather than working toward a world in which everyone is treated with dignity based on their inherent human worth — not treated differently due to their religion or ethnic background — we are now locked in an arms race between groups seeking to define various forms of racism.
This process has been spurred on by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who seems to think that stuffy conferences and lengthy dissertations are the solution to the ever-growing levels of hate on Canadian streets.
Want to see what market failure looks like? Don’t worry — the Left keeps trying to show us, and we may finally have woken up to it. IYKWIM, AITYD.
International students filed almost 14,000 asylum claims while in Canada over the first nine months of this year, a record reached even as the number of new study permits issued to students fell significantly.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller said the increase in asylum claims from people in the country on study permits appears to include false ones filed by students who have been counselled to do so by outside consultants. He cited anecdotal evidence from department officials and the lack of change in conditions in source countries.

An Ottawa man feels it’s his right to charge his car overnight at his apartment building since electricity is included in his rent, but his landlord disagrees.
Joel Mac Neil says he has been charging his electric vehicle (EV) at his apartment building, the Park West, with no issues for three years, until now.
“I should be allowed to do this and I don’t have to hide,” Joel Mac Neil said. “I have every right to do this and charge here.”
Let’s just make this easy for everyone. If you voted for Kamala, shave your head and get a blue face tattoo.

There is nothing on The New York Times website about Wednesday’s blockbuster House subcommittee hearing on UAPs (the new name for UFOs). Nothing in the Washington Post. Unbelievable. This is huge, huge news! All I can figure is that they didn’t take the hearing seriously. USA Today has a good piece up, capturing the highlights of today’s testimony.
The big news is that the US Government has for decades been collecting data on UAPs and hiding it from Congress, and, of course, from the American people.
Following is the testimony from key witnesses at yesterday’s hearing.
When tackling the deep state, the administration needs to reward those who respond positively, find ways to marginalize those who don’t, and get rid of those who actively resist.
Many news stories that once seemed important have been drowned out by the Trump election tsunami. Looming large among these is the story of the Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor who directed her personnel to bypass the homes of hurricane victims that displayed “Trump for President” yard signs. The FEMA staffer in question has been fired — good riddance — and the FEMA director has been called on the carpet by congressional Republicans. But a story that might have had legs in a tight election no longer seems to matter.
