A quiet place — meet the astronomers waiting for contact by aliens

At 9.45pm on Saturday night, like a giant ear cocking to the heavens, the massive telescope at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia tilted towards the first of a series of stars about 20 light years away, with an orbiting planet that might support another civilisation.

“The stars rise and set,” said Steve Croft, an astronomer overseeing its progress. “It’ll slew to that target, take some data on it and then, once it’s got that one in the can, it picks the next one out of the list.”

Pakistani Grooming Gangs in the UK: An Islamic Problem

August 26 marked ten years since the publication of the Jay Report, an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation in the British town of Rotherham. The 2014 report found that at least 1,400 underage girls were abused predominantly by Muslim men of Pakistani heritage between 1997 and 2013 in this South Yorkshire town.

“It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered,” the report noted.

Two-tier policing is real – just ask Christians

If you have ever doubted the existence of two-tier policing in the UK, just look at the appalling treatment of Christian street preachers. Earlier this year, a Christian pastor called Dia Moodley was arrested and held in a police cell for 13 hours. His alleged ‘crime’ was to have criticised Islam. Most of the details only emerged last week.

Iraqi Immigrant Leaves Sweden After 20 Years Because of Violent Crime

An immigrant restaurant owner who fled Iraq 20 years ago has left Sweden and returned to his home country because of the violent crime he faced in his Stockholm suburb.

I moved to Sweden because it was a safe country. Now I’m moving from Sweden because it’s not safe anymore.

The man, speaking under the alias ‘Amin,’ said in an interview with Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter that he was the object of threats and violent attacks by criminal gangs and was forced to pay them to avoid harassment.

Resolution at the B.C. Law Society shows claims of “Residential School Denialism” are ludicrous

How a resolution at the B.C. Law Society became a debate about residential school denialism

… The wording used in the training said: “On May 27, 2021, the Tkʼemlúps te Secwépemc Nation reported the discovery of an unmarked burial site containing the bodies of 215 children on the former Kamloops Indian Residential School grounds. Although the discovery was shocking to many Canadians, many Indigenous residential school survivors had previously reported the existence of unmarked burial sites, and the unexplained disappearances of children; the discovery confirms what survivors have been saying all along.”

Heller and Berry asked to have the first sentence changed to “…Tkʼemlúps te Secwépemc Nation reported the discovery of a potentially unmarked burial site…” and to remove the reference to the bodies of 215 children.

They also asked law society members to delete the passage saying the discovery confirms survivors’ testimonies.

The Smell of Desperation

Look, I keep saying that Kamala Harris could win this election with good reason: her floor is very high. Enough people can’t stand Donald Trump that she remains a somewhat viable candidate despite being really, really, REALLY bad at this politics thing.

No ‘time to waste’: Jean Chrétien’s former right-hand man asks Justin Trudeau to step down

OTTAWA — One of Jean Chrétien’s closest advisors is making the case for Justin Trudeau to leave politics to embrace a bigger cause — the unity of his country.

Eddie Goldenberg, who was Chrétien’s right-hand man for decades and served as chief of staff and senior policy advisor during his years in power, penned a piece called “Justin Trudeau’s Obligation to Canada” on Friday in which he argues that an undefeated Trudeau could be more useful in leading the fight against separatists in Quebec.

Hateful CBC joins pile-on and sides with videographer who stalked elderly woman over her “racist” reaction to watching her country being stolen by mass immigration

Concerns of ‘hateful racism’ after Ontario man’s video of woman ranting about people from India goes viral

A Waterloo, Ont., man is speaking out after his video of a woman ranting about the South Asian community went viral.

Ashwin Annamalai said he used his cellphone to record the woman after she gave him the middle finger, an action he said was unprovoked, while he was out for a walk on Tuesday evening.

Annamalai said that after he confronted the woman to ask what he had done to deserve the gesture, she went on about how Indian people are invading Canada.

He is a former “international student” who seems locked on to the diversity gravy train.

The Collapse of Kamala Harris

Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for their predicament.

On July 26, in the aftermath of the Democratic Party’s ruthless midsummer coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris to the party’s presidential slot would “spectacularly backfire.” More specifically, I wrote: “Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It is frankly bizarre for Democrats to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history.”

I’m feeling pretty good these days about that prognosis.

Why Is Reddit Facilitating At-Home Gender Transitions?

The popular website Reddit is home to thousands of message-board communities, on which users discuss everything from TV shows to sports teams to science and technology. But Reddit also hosts a “TransDIY” (for “do it yourself”) forum dedicated to at-home gender medicine that facilitates hormone transitions without doctor supervision. To prevent grave harm to vulnerable children—and to comply with state law—Reddit should shut down this forum of more than 76,000 users.
