Multicultural paralysis

Most people would never leave their homes and stroll into the Alaskan wilderness dreadfully unprepared like Christopher McCandless did in the 1996 best seller, “Into the Wild.” There are certainly many places on this blue planet where we just don’t venture through. There are other destinations we may visit or even pass through, but never after the sun sets like Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant, where one successful walk alone warrants a song about it like zany Long Islander, Billy Joel. But no matter how challenging or intimidating, it goes without fail that ambulance, fire and police services are always a call away.

This, however, is not the case in many enclaves throughout Europe. They call them “no-go zones,” which are places where the home country’s sovereign government has surrendered to Islam’s Sharia law.

Voters are the reason Chicago has food deserts

Chicagoans are seeing a variation on the saying, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” playing out in the city. Areas of the city are being labeled as “food deserts” because there are no grocery stores nearby, and residents only have themselves to blame.

According to ABC7 in Chicago, “In the past five years on the South Side, store closings have included a Whole Foods, two Targets and three Walmarts.” These are stores that would generally be considered too large to fail, but they are struggling with maintaining profitability.

Why finding alien life in Universe is now ‘only a matter of time’

Many astronomers are no longer asking whether there is life elsewhere in the Universe.

The question on their minds is instead: when will we find it?

Many are optimistic of detecting life signs on a faraway world within our lifetimes – possibly in the next few years.

And one scientist, leading a mission to Jupiter, goes as far as saying it would be “surprising” if there was no life on one of the planet’s icy moons.

Why diversity training backfires

A leading researcher has found that ‘DEI’ training actually encourages racial resentment.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training simply doesn’t work. This is the startling verdict recently reached not by opponents of diversity training, but by Mahzarin Banaji, a world-renowned pioneer of research into so-called implicit bias. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Banaji argues that ‘the typical DEI training doesn’t educate people about bias and may even do harm’.

Robert Kennedy Jr to run for president as independent in 2024 – report

Robert F Kennedy Jr is reported to be ending his challenge to Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination and run instead as an independent candidate, in a move that could upset the 2024 race for the White House.

Kennedy, 69 and a scion of a famous political dynasty – a son of the former US attorney general and New York senator Robert F Kennedy, and a nephew of the former president John F Kennedy – will announce his run in Pennsylvania on 9 October, according to Mediaite.

“Bobby feels that the Democratic National Committee is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” the website quoted a “Kennedy campaign insider” as saying.

“Debate Me, Jenny!”

For years, San Francisco deli owner and community advocate Adam Mesnick has been demanding a public debate with Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness. Mesnick’s home and business are located in the city’s beleaguered South of Market (SoMa) neighborhood, and he runs an X account, @bettersoma, to call attention to the city’s humanitarian crisis and document the encampments and sickness, blight and criminal activity, garbage and human waste—and most importantly, the thousands of deaths, overwhelmingly due to drug overdose.

Justin Trudeau’s Self-Immolation

The Canadian prime minister has alienated the largest democracy on Earth and played host to a former Nazi. And that was just this week.

OTTAWA — In the span of five days, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has managed to alienate the government of the largest democracy on Earth; anger key allies from Washington, D.C. to Canberra; and outrage Jews around the world.

Now, the promise of Trudeau—the young, strapping progressive born into political royalty, with his ostensibly forward-looking ideas about medically assisted suicide, puberty blockers, and the suspension of truckers’ civil liberties—is on the brink of imploding.

Ex-RCMP intelligence official accused of leaking had Leak ‘authority to do everything he did’

Lawyers for Cameron Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence director accused of leaking top-secret information, are expected to argue that their client had “authority to do everything he did” when his long-awaited trial gets underway next week.

Ortis, who was the head of the RCMP’s national intelligence co-ordination centre at the time of his arrest, is going to trial on six charges, including four counts of violating the Security of Information Act.

I get the feeling he will beat the charges because conviction would likely expose the incompetence of higher ups.

Hunka said in essay that he enlisted in Nazi unit to protect homeland

Since he was celebrated in Parliament, kicking off a political firestorm in Ottawa and outrage around the world, the public has heard nothing from Yaroslav Hunka, the 98-year-old who served in a Nazi unit during the Second World War.

But a dozen years ago, Mr. Hunka wrote an essay about his time in the Waffen-SS Galicia Division for an American online magazine focused on Ukrainian war veterans – a piece that provides some insight into what he says were his reasons for enlisting.

Behind the Orange Shirt

Phyllis Webstad’s The Orange Shirt Story, published in 2018, is in school libraries across Canada. The cover depicts young Phyllis in an orange shirt confronted by two black-habited Catholic nuns, one with scissors in her hand, the other clutching a rosary behind her back. Inside the book, illustrations show four black-habited nuns greeting her outside the school, a nun removing her orange shirt, a nun cutting her hair, and a nun hovering over her while she prays at bedtime. The text states that the nuns made her shower, took her orange shirt away, gave her other clothes to wear, and cut her hair short.

American Despotism: The Great Upheaval Over Race Begins

The great upheaval over race in America began in the 1950s and accelerated dramatically in the 1960s.

In many ways, the bridges that started being built in that era are crashing down around us. Today, we have the Black Lives Matter movement (which has supported widespread destruction across America and grifted many millions of people for misspent donations). Anti-white racism fuels most of the current cultural left. Educational efforts such as the 1619 Project seek to rewrite American history so that slavery and the African American experience are the central themes. There is a growing contempt for police (especially white officers) and acceptance of crime. All of these make up part of the hardcore anti-Americanism emerging as the central value of the left.

Bodies pile up in Seattle as violence escalates and police numbers fall

Experts blame campaigns against the police since the death of George Floyd

Andrea Suarez can recall in vivid detail the first body she discovered on the streets of Seattle.

A volunteer who cleans up drug-infested neighbourhoods, the 48-year-old found decomposing human remains in a portable lavatory near a children’s playground in 2021.

The victim is believed to have suffered an opioid overdose, one of many Suarez has stumbled upon while sweeping the streets of needles, burnt foil and other drug paraphernalia.
