In his new apostolic exhortation on “climate change,” Laudate Deum, Pope Francis has issued a striking call for a multi-national or global government that would be independent of changing conditions in the world.
Disney, a new Florida child rape law, and the greatest LGBTQ+ self-own ever
Largely thanks to Ron DeSantis taking the lead in trying to keep sexually obsessed leftists away from children, Florida is rapidly becoming Ground Zero in the battle over children and sex. Disney’s GLAAD approval, a new rape law, and a very crazy tweet highlight this battle.
What an incredible self own pic.twitter.com/LA5p97MEXP

France: A Dramatic Rise in Rapes by Muslim Migrants
In 2016, there were 12,820 rapes in France; in 2020, this had risen to 22,770; by 2021, the latest year for which records are available, there were 30,780 rapes, an increase in one year of 40%. This catastrophic rise corresponds to the rise in the number of Muslim migrants.
The motorists are fighting back
We are being lured into a state of passivity
What happened when Matthew Crawford, a lifelong advocate of the joys of driving and author of Why We Drive, took a ride in one of San Francisco’s driverless cars? He sounded the alarm.
Last month, he joined Freddie Sayers in Oakland to talk about the global war on motorists, the beauty of tinkering, and Silicon Valley’s threat to human freedom. Below is an edited transcript of their conversation.
Saluting a Nazi
At a high-profile event for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sept. 22, Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, a Canadian immigrant who ostensibly fought for the First Ukrainian Division against the Russians in World War II, a standing ovation for his service in the cause of freedom. Speaker of the House Anthony Rota introduced Hunka as a “war veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians.”
French panic as bedbug invasion spreads
Insects have spread to ‘all daily living spaces’ causing a wave of panic across the country
A test tube full of bed bugs was brought into the French parliament by an MP raising concern about the “wave of panic that has seized the country” amid a rise in the parasites.
The stunt by Mathilde Panot, the leftist MP and leader of the France unbowed party, came as the transport minister, Clément Beaune, prepared to gather transport operators to discuss implementing better protection for commuters.
Bed bugs have been spotted on at least one fast train and metro line.
Who Rules the World?
Thirteen powerful families allegedly determine our collective destiny
Many years ago a friend of mine insisted we go to a bookstore so I could purchase a copy of a book that had her howling with laughter. The title of the book itself suggests the source of her amusement, “Nothing in this book is true, but it’s exactly how things are.” Published in 1994, the book is an audacious farrago into everything from massive alien intervention to pop metaphysics. One of the book’s premises, if one is to assign that much coherence to it, is that not one, but dozens of extraterrestrial races currently intervene in the affairs of humanity. It is now a cult classic.
Neo-Nazis, white nationalists go on pilgrimage to Galicia Waffen-SS memorial
Neo-Nazis and white nationalists have gone on a pilgrimage to an Ontario memorial to the Waffen SS Galicia division, the Ukrainian Nazi-led unit, after one of its veterans received a standing ovation in Parliament last month, prompting renewed calls for the monument to be torn down.
White nationalists have posted photographs of themselves on social media at the memorial, alongside tributes to Yaroslav Hunka, whom they call “a hero.” One man, whose face is obscured, is wearing a T-shirt featuring the black sun – a neo-Nazi symbol based on a mosaic at the German castle used by Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS.
Nolte: Disney’s Woke ‘Little Mermaid’ Bigger Bomb Than Previously Reported
The Disney Grooming Syndicate lost even more money on its woke Little Mermaid remake than had been reported.
Previous budget reports said the movie cost $250 million to produce. The actual budget, per this report at Forbes, was $300 million, which does not include promotion costs.
The only reason we know the truth is because Disney wanted tax credits from the United Kingdom, where much of the movie was filmed, and the UK doesn’t put up with bookkeeping shenanigans the way we do here in America.
Sabrina Maddeaux: Manitoba PCs offer case study in how not to run an election campaign
It’s somewhat comforting that, in the age of big data and laser-focused analytics, political campaigns can still go so disastrously haywire. The quest to govern is still influenced by ungovernable human factors from charisma, to hubris, to reading the room so poorly one might as well be in the wrong house. Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives have provided the latest example of a campaign that was driven terribly (and avoidably) off course by poor judgment and a fundamental inability to connect with voters.
Liberals and Conservatives say there’s a worrying shift in some Canadians’ feelings about the war in Ukraine
OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are beginning to nervously watch for signs of a breakdown in the cross-partisan Canadian consensus on support for Ukraine, but hoping it will hold amid shifting American and international rhetoric.
Both Liberals and Conservatives tell the Star they are starting to see a shift in online discourse in Canada about the war. Some report a rising number of emails coming into their offices that question the $9 billion in spending Canada has pledged since 2022 to help Ukraine fight Russia’s invasion.
At one point Freeland attempted to link support for the near universally hated carbon tax with support for Ukraine. Stupid move.
WTF?

Trudeau ‘looking carefully’ at releasing names of ex-Nazis in Canada
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday senior bureaucrats are reviewing the Deschenes Commission report — a 1980s-era independent inquiry that looked at alleged Nazi war criminals in Canada — with an eye to making more of it public.
Struck by former prime minister Brian Mulroney, the Deschenes Commission’s final report was released in 1986 and is composed of two parts.
The first, which included recommendations to make it easier to extradite war criminals, was released publicly. The second was marked secret and the names of alleged Nazis in Canada were never released.
WTF?

Biden Iran envoy key member of Iranian government spy ring/influence operation
Well, this explains a lot.
The Obama and now Biden Iran policies have never made much sense to me.
Iran is the avowed enemy of our allies and partners in the Middle East region, but for some reason, the Obama and Biden Administrations have spent enormous efforts appeasing Iran at the same time that they have been increasingly hostile to countries that have allied themselves with us.
