Does your mass shooting suit my worldview?
Democrats rapidly and wrongly assume the Monterey Park atrocity was racially motivated. The shooter and victims were all Asian
In the wake of Saturday’s horrific shooting at a Lunar New Year celebration in the heavily Asian neighborhood of Monterey Park, California, Democratic lawmakers sprang into action, speculating that the violence may have been racially motivated. Hours later it emerged that the shooter was himself also Asian.
GOLDSTEIN: Private sector workers lag far behind government employees
Government workers in Ontario make more money, take more sick days off, are less likely to be laid off, have better pensions and retire earlier compared to private sector employees, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
Doomsday Clock signals highest ever peril level
The symbolic Doomsday Clock has moved closer than ever to midnight, declaring humanity perilously close to catastrophe.
The clock, set to 90 seconds to midnight, marks how close our planet is to complete annihilation because of man made actions.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) said the clock moved, in large part, because of the war in Ukraine.
The idea began in 1947 to warn humanity of the dangers of nuclear war.
The Important Line between Civil and Criminal Is Being Breached
There are two fundamental mechanisms of justice for wrongs committed. The first is civil, in which the wrong is compensated economically — by the payment of money. The second is criminal, in which the wrongdoer is punished — by imprisonment, probation or fine.
Dishonest Don Lemon: DeSantis Making It ‘Illegal To Teach Slavery’ in Florida Schools
CNN has never been “Facts First.” Don Lemon hosted a segment on today’s CNN This Morning to discuss Ron DeSantis’s decision to uphold the Florida State Department of Education’s decision to deny the College Board the opportunity to run a pilot AP (Advanced Placement) course on African American Studies pushing themes like “Intersectionality and Activism.”
This is an earlier clip, my favourite Don Lemon slap down.
Hey @donlemon!
Claiming #reparations from the UK for slavery is like claiming reparations from the discoverer of penicillin for being responsible for the diseases penicillin cures.

‘This rapist decided he was no longer a man only after appearing in court on a rape charge’
‘This rapist decided he was no longer a man only after appearing in court on a rape charge’: Fury as sex attacker transitions before trial and is sent to a women’s prison
There was fury today after a transgender rapist attacked two women as a man then changed gender before the trial.
Isla Bryson was a shaven-headed Adam Graham with a Mike Tyson-style face tattoo when she carried out the violent sex attacks in 2016 and 2019 after abusing the victims she originally met online.
Bryson, who claimed to have had gender issues since the age of four, began transitioning from a man to a woman in 2020 after being charged with the rapes. She denied the accusations, telling jurors any sex was consensual – although she insisted she did not like sleeping with women and they made the ‘first move’.
Norwegian Study Will Determine if White Paint Is Racist
So we’re thinking about repainting the interior of our house. Some of the walls are a kind of pleasant gray. Others, however, like the bedrooms and bathrooms, are that unique shade of dark Utah subdivision beige that is reminiscent of… well, I won’t finish the comparison. It’s lunchtime around here.
DOJ Sues Google Over Digital Advertising Dominance
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department and several states sued Google on Tuesday, alleging that its dominance in digital advertising harms competition.
The government alleges that Google’s plan to assert dominance has been to “neutralize or eliminate” rivals through acquisitions and to force advertisers to use its products by making it difficult to use competitors’ products.
‘Terror granny’ accused of plotting German coup
Members of a far-right group headed by a 75-year-old woman face charges of high treason for allegedly planning to kidnap the health minister and overthrow the government.
The plot, which sounds as outlandish as a separate, widely reported scheme uncovered in December allegedly headed by the aristocrat Heinrich XIII Prinz Reuss, has led to charges being brought by Germany’s federal prosecutor against a retired teacher, named only as Elisabeth R, and four men. All were arrested last year after obtaining two AK-47 assault rifles and four Glock handguns.
Muslims burn Israeli flag … because they’re mad at Sweden
Islamic world focuses its anger on Sweden over burning of violent cult’s Koran: Muslims across the globe set fire to Swedish flags in retaliation
The Muslim world has erupted into protest demanding the closure of Swedish embassies after Sweden issued the permit for a far-right politician to burn the Koran at a rally.
Swedish-Danish politician Rasmus Paludan on Saturday set fire to a copy of the Islamic holy book in front of Turkey’s embassy in the Swedish capital, stoking the anger of Turkey which then said it would not support the Scandinavian country’s bid for NATO membership.
Indonesia and Turkey both soon summoned their Swedish envoys following the book burning.
I love this one… Muslims burn Israeli flag … because they’re mad at Sweden

Germany to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine — reports
German news magazine Der Spiegel and others published stories on Tuesday evening saying that the government in Berlin had decided to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
This follows a long-running debate on the issue among NATO allies, and comes after Poland formally asked Berlin for permission to send some of its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine earlier on Tuesday.
Spiegel magazine reported that the decision would involve sending at least one company of Leopard 2A6 tanks. The 2A6 version is the second-newest available and the most recent available in larger numbers.
Spiegel attributed its information to government sources but did not identify them. Broadcaster ntv issued a similar report, and the dpa news agency later said its “coalition sources” had said the same. But the government did not immediately comment publicly on the reports.
