When a Grade One teacher at an Ottawa elementary school told her class about gender fluidity and that there was no such thing as boys and girls, Pam Buffone’s daughter was left confused and unsettled, the mother says.
Cleveland Cop Who Praised Hitler on Twitter Will Face No Repercussions
Cleveland’s 2019 police officer of the year will keep his award and job after a months-long investigation into his anti-Semitic social media postings concluded without any charges being filed.
Ismail Quran, who was the subject of a Cleveland police internal affairs unit investigation over “inappropriate social media content” that included praise for Adolf Hitler and the Hamas terrorist organization, will keep his job and not face any disciplinary consequences, according to information provided by the police department on Tuesday to the Washington Free Beacon.
GUNTER: The ‘progressive’ theories that drive our criminal justice system
“It is the Board’s opinion that you will not present an undue risk to society if released on statutory release and that your release will contribute to the protection of society by facilitating your reintegration to society as a law-abiding citizen.”
Scientific American magazine says Western science invented the ‘two-sex model’
Science isn’t what it used to be. And I don’t mean because Dr. Fauci is getting old and is about to retire.
(Yet another) case in point: Scientific American Magazine, a once respected monthly, recently put out a bizarre series of tweets effectively suggesting that earlier Western scientists just concocted the idea of two sexes…to serve the interests of the white supremacist patriarchy.
Ryan Alford: Hiding behind national security will erode trust in Emergencies Act inquiries
Half a year has gone by since the Trudeau government took the unprecedented step of invoking the Emergencies Act to deal with protesters in Ottawa and at several border crossings. Yet the question of whether this was an appropriate and measured use of emergency powers or an unconstitutional power grab seems no closer to being answered — and likely won’t be, so long as Ottawa continues to hide behind a veil of secrecy.
Internal Communications Reveal How Biden’s Censorship Enterprise Colluded With Big Tech
Thanks to Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, we know that a large number of agencies within the Biden administration actively coordinated with a variety of social media platforms to censor and suppress posts about COVID-19 that they deemed to be misinformation.
Schmitt has “received a number of documents that clearly prove that the federal government has an incestuous relationship with social media companies and clearly coordinate to censor freedom of speech.” In a new filing, Schmitt called the censorship activities “a massive, sprawling federal ‘Censorship Enterprise,’ which includes dozens of federal officials across at least eleven federal agencies.”
Skanderbeg: The Man Who Sacrificed Everything for His People
Today in history witnessed one of the most stalwart defenses against the Islamic spear-thrust into Europe—the Battle of Albulena in Albania, 1457.
To appreciate the significance of this epic clash, one must first appreciate the leader of the Albanian forces, George Kastrioti, better known as Skanderbeg (“Lord Alexander”). Today, he is as little known in the West as he was once widely celebrated all throughout Europe. His life, which is featured in the new book, Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam, certainly validates the saying that “truth is stranger than fiction.”
Woke Ideologues Are Taking Over American Art Museums
When connoisseurs yield to commissars, the result is as ugly as you’d expect.
If you think of art museums at all, you probably imagine them as places that are filled with beautiful things, that put on high-profile so-called blockbuster exhibitions, and that throw glitzy—sometimes tacky—parties.
They are all that, but they’re much more
Justice Department Lawyer Smears Religious Liberty Advocate as ‘Hate Group’
A senior Justice Department official referred to a highly regarded religious liberty organization as a “hate group” in a recent LinkedIn post.
Eric P. Bruskin, assistant director of the commercial litigation branch in the Justice Department’s Civil Division, used the term to describe Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal advocacy group founded in 1993.
The Justice Department’s social media policy discourages employee comments that could be “perceived as showing prejudice” toward characteristics such as religion.

The Far-Right Foreign Fighter Threat That Wasn’t
Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in 2014, and especially since it launched a full-blown invasion in 2022, a new brand of alarmist commentary has started to seep into terrorism analysis concerning a non-existent danger: far-Right[1] foreign fighters.
For instance, University of Chicago Assistant Professor Kathleen Belew told ABC News: “Americans have gone to fight as mercenary soldiers in far-Right and paramilitary units in Ukraine. They do pose a threat to the homeland.”
Chinese tyranny? American surveillance is scary too
The technology of war has come home
The New York Times recently ran an article on the dangers of surveillance tech in China. One wishes they would do the same for the US.
According to the Times, Chinese authorities implement facial recognition tech everywhere they can, the police seek to connect electronic activity (making a call) to a physical location, biometric information such as fingerprints and DNA is collected on a mass scale, and the government wants to tie together all of this data to build comprehensive profiles on troublesome citizens. The latter is the Holy Grail of surveillance, a single source to know all there is known about a person.
Google Employee Furious with Company For Not Being Anti-Israel Enough
Ariel Koren is – or was, for she has just resigned — an employee of Google. She’s a left-wing Jewish “activist” and ardent BDSer who wants Google to cancel its contract to provide services to the Israeli military. Now she is noisily resigning from the company, having concluded that it will not give in to her demands, and that it has “retaliated” against her by planning to transfer her to Google’s office in São Paulo, Brazil.
Schools shouldn’t fly BLM flags
Its divisive programme is the enemy of black prosperity
After more than two years of disruption, American schoolchildren are finally returning to something approaching normal education — in-person, and without masks or social distancing or other “non-pharmaceutical interventions”. But many of these children are returning transformed. Last week, data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress showed catastrophic learning loss among America’s nine-year-olds, with the worst declines among minority students.
Why Meghan is queen of the narcissists
Her speech about gender equality was entirely about herself.
The Duchess of Sussex’s speech yesterday at the One Young World summit, a charity shebang for ‘young leaders’, had been billed as a talk on gender equality. But what the 2,000-or-so young delegates heard in Manchester yesterday was something rather different.
In the course of her seven-minute monologue, Meghan Markle mentioned gender equality just once – through a blink-and-you’d-miss-it anecdote about the bravery of a young woman from Eritrea. For the rest of Meghan’s time at the podium, she focused on her favourite subject: herself.
Majority of Canadians view a politician’s open support of trucker protest as negative: survey
Most Canadians say they would hold a negative view of a politician who openly supported the trucker protest that took place in Ottawa earlier this year, a new survey from Nanos Research shows.
The survey, which was conducted by Nanos and commissioned by CTV News, found about 70 per cent of participants would have a more or somewhat more negative impression of a politician in such a case, with residents in Quebec more likely to hold a more negative view (70 per cent) than those from the Prairies (58 per cent).
Nanos is an LPC pollster.
