There’s a moment in the TV show Community where the character Jeff Winger is exasperated with his study group’s attempt to interfere in their friend’s life.

An arbitrator has ruled that two Buffalo police officers did not violate use-of-force guidelines when they pushed a 75-year-old protester to the ground in June 2020, during racial injustice protests following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The episode drew national attention when a news crew captured video of Martin Gugino being shoved by officers Robert McCabe and Aaron Torgalski in downtown Buffalo, as crowd control officers in riot gear cleared demonstrators for an 8pm curfew.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia claimed that it destroyed several air defense systems in Ukraine over the weekend, in what appeared to be a renewed push to gain air superiority and take out weapons Kyiv has described as crucial ahead of a broad new offensive in the east.
In one strike announced Monday, Moscow said that it hit four S-300 launchers provided by a European country it didn’t name. Slovakia gave Ukraine just such a system last week but denied it had been destroyed. Russia previously reported two strikes on similar systems in other places.
Christine Enns said she was shocked when a rapid test showed she had tested positive for COVID-19.
Enns, who received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine and a booster shot, already had the virus in early February and thought reinfection was rare.
“I started feeling sick three to four days ago thinking, ‘This feels like COVID.’ I took five tests and … today it came back positive,” the bakery owner said Friday from her home in Warren, Mba., about 45 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
It took 5 tests to get the desired positive???
Canada is targeting Russia’s defence industry with its latest round of sanctions over Moscow’s invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says the new measures impose restrictions on 33 entities in the Russian defence sector.
Given it’s performance in Ukraine I don’t think the Russian armaments industry has a bright future.
Tens of thousands dead in Mariupol, Zelenskyy says amid plea to South Korea for arms
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday asked Seoul for any military aid it could provide as he said Russia could only be forced to make peace.
Speaking in a video address to South Korean lawmakers, Zelenskyy said his country needed more help, including weapons, if it is to survive the war.
“You have something that can be indispensable for us … armored vehicles, anti-aircraft, anti-tank, anti-ship weapons,” he said.
#Ukraine: Ukrainian indirect fire continues to strike Russian armored vehicles in #Mariupol; seen here, a (possible MT-LB based) vehicle is struck, and when ammo cooks off causes further damage and a fire to start on two T-72B tanks. (The damage looks very minor to one of them.) pic.twitter.com/oAHHC7YVm0

Elon Musk has performed a U-turn on joining Twitter’s board despite becoming the social media company’s largest shareholder with a 9.2% stake.
The world’s richest man was due to become a board member on Saturday but Twitter’s chief executive, Parag Agrawal, said on Monday morning that Musk had declined the offer. Musk, who is worth $260bn (£200bn), emerged as Twitter’s largest investor last week and was invited to join its board.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told the newspaper that the alliance was “in the midst of a very fundamental transformation” that will reflect “the long-term consequences” of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions.
“What we see now is a new reality, a new normal for European security,” Stoltenberg said, per The Telegraph. “Therefore, we have now asked our military commanders to provide options for what we call a reset, a longer-term adaptation of NATO.”
“For 25 years people like myself have said that NATO expansion would lead to war. Putin said several times that if it came to Ukraine becoming a member of NATO, there would be no Ukraine anymore. In Bucharest in 2008 there was a plan of quick accession of Ukraine and Georgia to NATO. It was blocked by the efforts of Germany and France, but since that time Ukraine has been integrated into NATO. It was pumped up by weaponry and its troops were trained by NATO, their army getting stronger and stronger day by day. In addition we saw a very rapid increase of neo-Nazi sentiment especially among the military, the society and the ruling elite. It was clear that Ukraine had become something like Germany around 1936-1937. The war was inevitable, they were a spearhead of NATO. We made the very hard decision to strike first, before the threat becomes deadlier.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a speech over the weekend calling for Canadians to stand up for war-torn Ukraine warned against what he called “excessive populism and overnationalism.”

In a press conference, Quebec’s Minister of Higher Education Danielle McCann stated that “(c)lassrooms are not safe spaces; they are spaces for debate.”
She added that “censorship has no place in our classrooms. It never will, and we need to protect faculty from censorship.”
New Zealand is a fascinating country – amazing geography, likeable population, and, unlike its neighbour Australia, most of its wildlife isn’t planning on killing you at the slightest opportunity. It is also fascinating with respect to Covid because its population has a very high vaccination rate across all age groups (well, down to five), but up until recently there has been negligible natural immunity to Covid. Because of these two factors, New Zealand was always going to be of interest as soon as Covid arrived properly, if only to see how its vaccination efforts had protected its population.
Lack of comprehension of a fundamental in Canadian governance has for decades eluded our citizenship. In terms of what political science refers to as “Classical Liberalism,” our country simply does not meet the standard.
Year after year, decade after decade, democratic governance in Canada has been under a process of erosion. The signs are obvious and apparent. Yet, because honest media reporting declines within the process, general society has difficulty recognising the transformation.

California’s reparations task force voted on March 29 to recommend that the state pay compensation to black residents “based on lineage determined by an individual being an African American descendant of a chattel enslaved person or the descendant of a free black person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century.” The task force was created in 2020 when Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill to study reparations. Its recommendation will be included in a final report to be issued by 2023.

Never forget the Democrat Party is the party promoting The Great Replacement. It was never going to stop with statues or monuments of Confederates…there are no brakes on the anti-white train.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the new BA.2 variant of COVID will cause an “uptick” of cases which might cause a return to requirements for wearing masks indoors.
