Trudeau arrives in Brussels to wait tables at European Parliament ahead of NATO, G7 talks

Trudeau arrives in Brussels to address European Parliament ahead of NATO, G7 talks

The prime minister’s plane touched down at a Brussels military base this morning.

Trudeau’s speech is set to stress the importance of countries on both sides of the Atlantic working together to defend democracy in the face of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

It will be Trudeau’s second speech to European parliamentarians, following a 2017 address that was meant as a shot in the arm for a continent reeling from Britain’s vote a year earlier to leave the European Union amid the election of Donald Trump in the United States.

Plenty of Twitter “experts” unhappy with end of mask mandates

Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth, an Ottawa-based doctor, feminist and strong supporter of mandates and restrictions, criticized the move to give Ontario residents and students the choice to wear a mask, calling the decision political.

“The end of mask mandates was driven by politics, disinformation, and ideology, not by sound health policy or science,” she tweeted.

“It’s Backdoor Socialism” Says Conservative Leader On Liberal, NDP Partnership Deal

“Canadians have been hoodwinked. This is nothing more than a Justin Trudeau power-grab. Jagmeet Singh is going to be Deputy Prime Minister. This is little more than backdoor socialism,“ said Conservative Party Leader Candice Bergen.

The Deeper Significance Of Hunter Laptop Story, Part 1

With all that’s been discussed about Hunter Biden’s laptop — what it reveals about the Biden family and the shocking lengths to which government agencies, politicians and the media LIED, at least until Biden was safely in office — there’s yet another aspect to the story, one we touched on last week but would like to examine more deeply now.

Psaki Tight-Lipped On White House Preparations For Russian Nuclear Attack

White House press secretary Jen Psaki provided no details Monday when asked what the United States is doing in terms of stockpiling iodine pills and other “protective gear” as Russia’s threat of a nuclear attack looms amid the war in Ukraine.

Reports surfaced over the weekend that the European Union is stockpiling potassium iodine tablets, protective suits, and other medicines as the U.S. and other Western nations have warned the global stage to be on the lookout for Russian chemical and nuclear attacks.

Judge Jackson Wants to ‘Meld’ American Law with CRT, Social Justice

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, currently testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee as her nomination to the Supreme Court is considered, has a track record not too dissimilar from any other woke academic. And despite the Democrat spin that says criticisms of Biden’s SCOTUS nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer are trumped up claims based on sexist racist bigotry, KBJ’s own words in her Senate Judiciary Questionnaire (SJQ) make her beliefs clear.

Diversity Smokescreen

The notion that a demographically representative college class makes for better education is a pretext for the real proposition: that certain people deserve reparations.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear two more cases challenging the use of race as a criterion in college admissions, as has allegedly happened at Harvard University (a private institution) and the University of North Carolina (public). On the surface, the argument turns on whether the desire for a diverse student body trumps many laws and the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibit discrimination and guarantee equal protection to all. The question applies to virtually all universities because they are either public or accept government money.

The hunt for superyachts of sanctioned Russian oligarchs

Two superyachts linked to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich have docked in Turkey, beyond the reach of UK and EU sanctions.

Each of the vessels cost more than $500m and are among a number tracked by Lloyd’s List Intelligence. The shipping data experts have been monitoring on-board tracking devices and have shared this information exclusively with the BBC, enabling the journeys of these and other vessels linked to sanctioned Russians to be plotted.

A boatload of young Ukrainians tried to stop the superyacht My Solaris docking in Bodrum in Turkey. The other Abramovich-linked yacht Eclipse sailed to Marmaris.

‘We have failed’: how California’s homelessness catastrophe is worsening

California – Sanctioned Homeless Camp

When California shut down in March 2020, advocates for unhoused people thought the state might finally be forced to solve its homelessness crisis. To slow the spread of Covid, they hoped, officials would have to provide people living outside with stable and private shelter and housing.

But in the two years since, California’s humanitarian catastrophe has worsened: deaths of people on the streets are rising; college students are living in their cars; more elderly residents are becoming unhoused; encampment communities are growing at beachesparkshighway underpasseslots and sidewalks.

California has the fifth largest economy in the world, a budget surplus, the most billionaires in the US and some of the nation’s wealthiest neighborhoods. Yet the riches of the Golden State have not yielded solutions that match the scale of the crisis that’s been raging for decades. Pandemic-era programs have had some success for a slice of the unhoused population, but many measures have fallen short.

Conspirators in Their Own Words

Noble left-wing ends always justify odious means, in this case projecting one’s own conspiracist efforts by smearing innocent others as conspiracists.

For the last five years, the Left—defined as the fusion of the mainstream media, Silicon Valley, the radical new Democratic Party, and the vestigial Hillary Clinton machine—has crafted all sorts of conspiracies to destroy their perceived conservative enemies.

Their method has focused on one major projection: alleging conspiracy on the part of others, which is a kind of confirmation of their own conspiracies to destroy their opponents in general, and Donald Trump in particular.

The hate that CAIR loves to defend

CAIR defends a trainer fired for posts cursing Zionists and saying Israel doesn’t have a right to exist, but attacks Canary Mission.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) again is making it clear that its understanding of antisemitism stops at the moment Israel, the birthplace of Judaism whose existence is supported by more than 90 percent of the world’s Jewry, is mentioned favorably.

Last week, CAIR’s Philadelphia chapter filed an EEOC complaint, alleging employment discrimination by a posh Pennsylvania private school. Natalie Abulhawa was fired from her job as an athletic trainer at the Agnes Irwin School in Bryn Mawr after a review of her social media posts, which cursed “Zionists” with a crude and sexist term while another said “Israel doesn’t have a right to exist.”

What will Russia’s oligarchs do next?

Wealth and privilege can be violently snatched away

Russia’s loyal oligarchs have always been liable to become chess pieces in political struggles. After the revolution broke out in Petrograd in February 1917, the long-despised Romanov aristocracy were ruthlessly stripped of their property and most prized possessions. The people demanded nothing less than their total humiliation and dispossession.
