Biden’s claim that a 10-year-old rape victim was forced to travel across state lines to get an abortion is called into question by the Washington Post as it emerges the doctor behind it is a prominent abortion advocate

President Joe Biden’s claim that a 10-year-old rape victim was forced to travel across state lines to get an abortion after last month’s Roe Vs. Wade ruling has come into question, after a Washington Post fact-checker found the story to be largely unsubstantiated.

It has also emerged that the doctor who first shared the story with an Indiana-based news outlet is a prominent abortion advocate – placing further doubt on its credibility.

The one-source story was provided to an Indiana news outlet by Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Caitlin Bernard last week. She claimed a child abuse doctor in Ohio contacted her about the case seeking aid from the doctor.

Ben Woodfinden: Poilievre’s Conservative critics don’t understand their own party

Poilievre is going to win, and the Conservative party is going to be fine

The Conservative leadership race is over. Barring something extremely unexpected, Pierre Poilievre will be the next leader of the Conservative party, and he may well be the next prime minister. Patrick Brown’s disqualification only cements this outcome. The victory is likely to be a big one as well, with a first ballot win a serious possibility. This will give Poilievre a plausible mandate to reshape the party in his image, something that the two most recent leaders, Andrew Scheer and Erin O’Toole, did not possess and something likely to invite apoplectic warnings of many of Canada’s bien pensants, including some within the Conservative party.

I think the CPC braintrust knows the party. They just don’t like the people in it.

Brussels: Capital of Europe or Eurabia?

While Lieven Verstraete, an acclaimed Belgian journalist who hosts the program, “De Zevende Dag” (“The Seventh Day”), was recently interviewing two members of the Green Party, he raised the issue of immigration and called Brussels “the perfect example of a city whose neighborhoods are conquered one by one by newcomers”.

Newcomers? Conquered?

“How?” replied Nadia Naji, a politician of Molenbeek’s Green party.

“Well,” Verstraete, visibly uncomfortable, tried to explain, “more and more people with immigrant origins come to live there and claim their place. Do you feel Belgian in Molenbeek?”

A few hours after the broadcast, he apologized.

“In twenty years”, the French newspaper Le Figaro predicted about Brussels, “the European capital will be Muslim”.

4chan users claim to have hacked Hunter Biden’s iCloud account

Desperate for Recruits, Russia Launches a ‘Stealth Mobilization’

Leery of a national draft for the Ukraine war, the Kremlin is offering cash bonuses and employing strong arm tactics.

Four Russian veterans of the war in Ukraine recently published short videos online to complain about what they called their shabby treatment after returning to the Russian region of Chechnya, after six weeks on the battlefield.

One claimed to have been denied a promised payment of nearly $2,000. Another grumbled that a local hospital declined to remove shrapnel lodged in his body.

Their public pleas for help got results, but not the kind they were hoping for. Instead, an aide to Ramzan Kadyrov, the autocrat who runs Chechnya, berated them at length on television as ingrates and forced them to recant. “I was paid much more than they promised,” said Nikolai Lipa, the young Russian who had claimed that he had been cheated.

Canada sends back blocked Russian turbine to Germany

Ottawa has bowed to German pressure and will return a Russian gas turbine to Germany that Moscow has deemed critical to the flow of natural gas to Europe.

Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announced the decision in a statement Saturday. He said the Canadian government is sending back the turbine at the urging of Germany and other European countries, which are trying to replenish gas stocks for the winter months ahead.

Bowed to German pressure? Hardly. A globalist alliance of green-scammers is using the Ukraine crisis as cover to impose their great reset. Justin is simply helping a fellow conspirator to weather the coming storm.

When is online content harmful? Experts aren’t sure and that spells trouble for Ottawa

OTTAWA—The advisory panel tasked with making recommendations for Canada’s pending legislation on online safety has failed to come to an agreement on how online harms should be defined, and whether dangerous content should be scrubbed from the internet altogether.

On Friday, the federal government published the findings from the expert panel’s tenth and final session, which summed up three months of deliberations over what a future legislative and regulatory framework might look like.

… Most of the panel found that child exploitation and terrorist content should be handled in “an unambiguous manner by future legislation.” Others deemed the five categories “deeply problematic,” in one instance, taking issue with definitions of terrorism for focusing on “Islamic terror” and omitting other forms.

Roe v Wade: Thousands march to White House for abortion rights

Genius: Using the Holocaust to protest the end of the abortion holocaust.

Thousands gathered in the US capital on Saturday, marching through pouring rain and risking arrest to protest over the reversal of abortion rights last month.

The demonstration came two weeks after the Supreme Court repealed Roe v Wade – the ruling that had guaranteed abortion access nationwide for nearly 50 years.

Chanting “we won’t go back”, protesters converged on the White House, with some tying themselves to the gates outside.

Secede from U.S. tops Texas GOP’s platform, calls for Legislature to place vote on upcoming election ballot

Texas GOP is calling for the state’s legislature to pass legislation placing Texas independence on the 2023 General Election ballot, ultimately calling for a statewide vote for Texas to return to an independent nation.

The plank, plank 225, received more than 80 percent of delegate votes during June’s convention. Plank 33, calling for State Sovereignty, received more than 88 percent of delegate votes.

“Texas Independence: We urge the Texas Legislature to pass bill in its next session requiring a referendum in the 2023 General Election for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation,” Plank 225.

Plank 33 reads, “State Sovereignty: Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified. Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto.”

Canadian Professor Suspended for Comments Criticizing COVID Vaccination of Children

Patrick Provost, a professor at Université Laval who studies micro RNA — small molecules that help regulate genes — was suspended for eight weeks without pay on June 14 for comments he made last December at a conference.

Provost said he believes the risks of COVID-19 vaccination in children outweigh the benefits because of the potential side-effects from mRNA vaccines, which use messenger RNA created in a lab to teach cells how to make a protein.
