Rural Scotland is dying of cold

The black dog is at the door

Lindsay lives in a council house in Kirkwall, the largest town in Orkney, a starkly beautiful archipelago off the north coast of Scotland. Now in her mid-fifties, Lindsay has lived in her one-bedroom house for 17 years. She’s tended the garden, hung her pictures on the walls. But she has no great love for the place. It’s cold and damp. Very cold. Very damp. Cold enough that she can’t sleep. Damp enough that the clothes in her wardrobe turn green with mould. And it seems like nothing she does ever helps.

‘I reported 7 to 8 guys’: Woman who joined conservative dating site reveals she sent January 6 rioters’ details to FBI

A woman is claiming she was able to infiltrate a conservative-leaning dating app and ended up reporting several profiles to the FBI for saying they’d participated in the January 6 riots.

Ryann McEnany designed the ‘invite-only’ platform, called The Right Stuff, in an attempt to help ‘young conservatives’ find ‘people that see the world the right way,’ after she said she noticed that other dating apps had ‘gone woke.’

Caitlin Berg, an ostensibly liberal woman on TikTok, said she ran a scam where she played a ‘yeehaw’d version’ of herself to get an invitation to use the app.

On the streets in Bordeaux: ‘It pains me to see our city on fire but we need to take a stand’

A crowd has gathered outside Bordeaux’s City Hall. People are taking pictures of the walls and doors, which were set on fire at the weekend. They are still standing but now blistered and black. Rony Bertrand, 60, shakes her head in dismay at the damage done to the building, which was built in the late 18th century and survived the French Revolution.

“It’s become so normal now that things are being destroyed, it sickens me,” Bertrand says. “Who’s going to pay for this? The people of Bordeaux are, that’s who.” Philippe Rouchon, 56, who works in fire prevention, says “it pains me to see this, my job is to prevent fires” – but he understands the protests, at President Emmanuel Macron pushing through a rise in the pension age to 64.

RCMP interviewing Murderous Psychopath Mohammedans held in detention camps in Syria: sources

CTV News has learned that RCMP officers are currently in northeast Syria, interviewing Canadians held in detention camps in order to bring them back to Canada. The three Mounties have so far interviewed only Canadian women in Al-Roj camp.

According to sources, RCMP are warning the women that they could face terrorism charges upon their return to Canada. Their interviews are being videotaped and could be used in future court cases.

Global Affairs Canada agreed to repatriate seven Canadian women and 19 children from Syria.

This is Justin playing identity politics with Canadian security.

Pro-Kremlin Twitter accounts ‘weaponizing’ fringe users to erode Canadians’ support for Ukraine, government funded study finds

The study tracked Russian information-warfare campaigns that it said were tailored to Canadian audiences on Twitter and what it called the “supportive ecosystems of accounts” that retweeted these messages. By 2023, it said, this included about 200,000 Twitter accounts that shared these messages with millions of Canadian users.

The underlying themes of the Kremlin-aligned messages include such ideas as: “Canada’s foreign policy is controlled by Ukrainian Canadians,” “Canadian sanctions are responsible for inflation and rising energy costs,” “Ukraine is corrupt and doesn’t deserve our support,” “NATO is responsible for the war” and Russia is “de-Nazifying Ukraine.”

So a government funded study is telling us what our opinion should be about Ukraine.

Got it.

Saudi Arabia set to join anti-West bloc with China and Russia as the US disengages with the Middle East

The kingdom’s cabinet seeks full membership of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation as the US disengages with the Middle East

Saudi Arabia is joining an anti-Western influence bloc formed by Russia and China, in a sign of Riyadh’s deepening ties with Beijing as the US pivots away from the Middle East.

The kingdom’s cabinet approved a plan to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) as a “dialogue partner”, a precursor to being granted full membership, SPA, the Saudis’ state news agency, announced on Wednesday.

Formed in 2001 by Russia, China and former Soviet states in Central Asia, the SCO is a political and security bloc of countries spanning much of Eurasia and has expanded to include India and Pakistan, with a view to challenging Western influence in the region.

The State Department seems to have achieved its desire.

Developments like this lead me to believe that China’s Useful Idiot Junior is being forced out of office by a shadowy hand.

Toronto cries foul over lack of help for city in federal budget

In the wake of Tuesday’s tabling of the 2023 federal budget, Toronto’s interim mayor is accusing the federal government of ignoring the financial pleas of the country’s largest city.

Absent from Tuesday’s budget was any help to address the $933-million shortfall in the city’s budget — borne largely by expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic — a gaping hole municipal budget planners had hoped would be filled courtesy of the provincial and federal governments.

Nobody likes Toronto.

If Americans don’t believe in God, country or hard work, what do they believe in?

A new poll finds that love of money has taken the place of values we once revered

Do you want the good news or the bad news first? It’s all pretty bad, but let’s get it over with: the share of Americans who say patriotism and religion are “very important” to them has fallen sharply, as has the number of Americans who value involvement in their community, hard work and having children.

Female Students Sue Sorority For Admitting Biological Male Who Allegedly Gets Aroused Watching Women Undress

Sorority sisters are suing the Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) sisterhood for admitting a male University of Wyoming student, according to a complaint.

KKG admitted biological male Artemis Langford, its first transgender-identifying member, into its ranks in Oct. 2022. Guidelines set by the National Panhellenic Council define a sorority as a “single-gender organization comprised of women and individuals who identify as women” while leaving admission decisions up to individual chapters.

Italy says no to lab-grown meat

Italian plan to ban lab-grown food criticised as misguided

The Italian government has approved a draft law that would ban food grown in laboratories, including artificial meat, as it seeks to “safeguard our nation’s heritage”.

Under the ban, which needs to be passed in both houses of parliament, those who produce, export or import food grown from animal cells would face fines of up to €60,000 and risk having their manufacturing plants closed.

Coldiretti, Italy’s biggest farmers’ association, has lobbied for the ban, arguing that homegrown produce needs to be shielded from “the attacks of multinational companies”.
