Biblical scholar blasts AOC, left-wing pols for claiming Jesus was Palestinian: ‘Rips Jesus out of his Jewish context’
A noted biblical scholar is blasting left-leaning politicians for floating the idea that Jesus Christ was a Palestinian — calling the notion “inflammatory” and saying liberals have “mischaracterized reality.”
“This Easter, let’s not try to pretend Jesus was a ‘Palestinian Jew,’” Boston University scholar Paula Fredriksen wrote in an op-ed piece published by the Washington Post last week.
Frankly I’m surprised WAPO published the piece.
With Trudeau’s polling, it’s time for Libs to break the glass
This past week, the deputy governor of the Bank of Canada said, “You know those signs that say, ‘In an emergency, break the glass?’ Well, it’s time to break the glass.” Carolyn Rogers was talking about the economy, but easily could have been talking about the Liberal Party and their leadership problems.

Trudeau urged to call ’emergency meeting’ on carbon price by N.L. premier
Liberal Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to call an “emergency meeting of leaders from across the country” to talk about potential alternatives to the federal carbon price increasing to $80 per tonne.
The annual increase took effect on Monday, rising from $65 per tonne. At the pumps, this translates to the carbon price on fuel rising from about $0.14 to almost $0.18.
Inside the ‘bodies corridor’ – where Russia and Ukraine meet to swap their dead
The convoy snaked through Ukraine’s north-eastern Sumy region on a bitter February morning.
A police car led the way, followed by a unit of forensic officials and a refrigerated van containing the corpses of dozens of Russian soldiers.
The delegation was travelling into Russian territory for one of the only functioning levels of diplomacy between Kyiv and Moscow: the exchange of dead bodies from either side.

Food Sales Are Telling Us Canada Is Getting Poorer At An Alarming Rate
Canada appears to be a "trading-down" market, a trend that may persist for some time. Recent data from Statistics Canada on the food retail and service industries, as well as fresh GDP figures, paint a… pic.twitter.com/wOkg114uz4

On foreign interference, Canada has been a sitting duck
The opening day of the second round of public hearings of the Foreign Interference Commission – and the first to get at the meat of the issue – was about as heart-rending as might be imagined.
Foreign interference, as we have been learning, takes many forms: not just the election meddling that was the proximate cause of the inquiry, but propaganda and disinformation, spying and – the subject of Wednesday’s hearing – intimidation.
Green light for Rafah offensive as calls grow for Binyamin Netanyahu to resign
Binyamin Netanyahu has said that Israel’s war cabinet has authorised military plans to invade Rafah, just before he was prepared for hernia surgery on Sunday.
“We have approved the IDF’s operational plans for Rafah. The IDF is preparing to evacuate the civilian population and provide humanitarian aid,” the Israeli prime minister told a televised press conference.
If the goal is to make us poorer, Trudeau’s carbon tax is a stunning success
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended the rising costs of his climate policies in the face of mounting criticism from around the country by declaring, “My job is not to be popular.” He added, “My job is to do the right things for Canada now and do the right things for Canadians a generation from now and that’s what I’ve been focused on.”
Such comments are suggestive of a martyr complex, sacrificing popularity on the altar of righteousness. In truth, the climate file is Trudeau’s vanity project and the hill on which he is prepared to die.
Denver City official Andres Carrea urged migrants to travel to New York or Chicago for better benefits
A Denver city official begged migrant families to move on to other sanctuary cities like New York and Chicago, warning them that a lack of resources in Colorado would cause them to ‘suffer.’
In a clip first obtained by 9NEWS, Communications Liaison Andres Carrera urges a group of recent arrivals inside a migrant shelter to look for support in other places.
‘The opportunities are over,’ Carrera says in Spanish. ‘New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more. So I suggest you go there where there is longer-term shelter. There are also more job opportunities there.’
Police union takes Hamas supporters to task for ‘unacceptable’ treatment of officers
The Toronto Police Association came to the defence of its members after a pro-Palestinian protest on Saturday in the downtown area ended in multiple arrests and three people charged, including a woman accused of throwing horse manure at officers.
A post on the TPA’s X account said officers, away from their loved ones over the holiday weekend, are “compelled to attend these protests to ensure public safety.
On March 30, 2024, the Toronto Police stormed into the crowd of peaceful protesters unannounced, kettled people in a tight space, and attacked them with weapons, horses, pushing, and dragging individuals, causing bodily injuries and damage to personal belongings.

I’ve had 5 female Toronto police officers (& an Ottawa one) DM me (or respond when I’ve asked) re: interactions w/ male pro-Palestine protesters. This female officer handled herself brilliantly. “Vile” wouldn’t even begin to cover some of the things said to them. https://t.co/mQR86Rp5t0

Progressives are rediscovering old truths about the sexes
Modern revolutions — those we know to have failed — share an impractical conceit. In the minds of their architects, the establishment of a wholly new social contract has meant renovating human nature itself.
France’s revolution, which begat the utopian tradition, was predicated on the assumption that humanity unshackled from superstition and guided by pure reason would enter a new epoch of Enlightenment. That utopian ideal was carried forward by the Paris Commune and, eventually, the Soviets, who sought to erase from the human experience concepts such as property, enterprise, and individuality. Throughout, the revolutionaries’ ambition was matched only by their contempt for the world as it was. Robert Owen, the founder of one similarly ill-fated experiment in utopian design, in America, professed that the social reformer’s goal is to stamp out “that greatest of all errors, the notion that individuals form their own characters.”
