By now, you are likely aware that there are elusive, ever-changing, progressive-determined rules surrounding the celebration of holidays:
Kids in search of Halloween costumes better make sure their race matches that of their favorite Disney character. Thanksgiving is really a “Day of Mourning.” And you likely have a vague sense that there are definitely rules about if and how people are allowed to celebrate Cinco de Mayo —but good luck figuring out what they are.
But one could be forgiven for thinking it was still possible to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in peace. What could team left possibly have to say about St. Patrick’s Day? A look at social media on Thursday revealed one of the main complaints about the holiday: white people seem to enjoy it.
Four Times Justin Trudeau Has Ruled Canada By Decree
Although Trudeau preaches democracy abroad, the Liberal government has shown few qualms about using less-than-democratic methods and technicalities to get its way. These include orders in council, public health mandates and the prime minister’s unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act.
Canada Needs An “Anglophobia” Designation To Combat Critical Race Theory
Political leaders in Scotland are calling for what they term “Anglophobia” to be recognised as a form of prejudice rooted in racism:
“I think we also need to recognise along with Islamophobia, Anglophobia. We would all agree any form of discrimination is completely unacceptable. It’s a particularly insidious form of abuse.”
While the context may vary, the sentiment has become critical to the Canadian narrative. As tabled by MPP Laura Mae Lindo, Bill 67 calls for prejudice against Anglophones to be integrated into the Ontario education system. Beneath the surface of the bill’s call for “racial equity” is an attack on Caucasians.
Canadians Should Be Disturbed By Our Lack Of Military Strength
A ‘hope for the best’ defense posture and settling for being a ‘convening power’ is incompatible with the world as it exists today.

Wartime Intolerance: Be Ready To Be Called A Traitor For Disagreeing With Biden
We’ve been through this before. In the wake of 9/11, we were called “unpatriotic” when we criticized the administration’s conduct of the “Global War on Terror.” When President Barack Obama was invading Libya, we were called traitors for pointing out it was a bad idea.
Now if you criticize President Joe Biden at all, or vote against Democratic legislation, your patriotism is called into question, and you are called a crony of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The word “treason” is even getting thrown around. And these accusations aren’t coming from random people on Twitter, but from elected Democrats, Republicans, and leading liberal commentators.
Democratic Socialist Student Groups Are Pushing These Leftist Policies On College Campuses
Following student pushback against a Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) flyer found at the University of California, San Diego, Campus Reform took a deep dive into what other progressive agendas the national student chapters supported.
In doing so, Campus Reform found that YDSA chapters across the country are demanding free tuition and debt forgiveness, advocating for the recognition of student employee unions, and pressing to take “community control” of police departments.
Additionally, these groups have recently hosted rallies, meetings, and book discussions on topics such as abortion, minimum wage, marijuana decriminalization, and Palestine.
Rep. Thomas Massie Warns Shocking Broad Powers Given To Biden Tucked Into Russian Sanction Bill
It gives the President broad authority to sanction virtually anyone, anywhere in the world, whether they are connected to Russia or not.
The Treaty of Versailles, doling out spoils to the victors at the end of the First World War, was a Carthaginian peace that sliced and diced Germany, surrendering provinces to Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, and cutting homeland ties to seven million ethnic Germans. Three and a half million landed in the eastern region of the former Czechoslovakia, then called Sudetenland.
It’s hard to think of an area of medicine more controversial today than the treatment of gender dysphoria in youth. Proponents and opponents of the new “affirming” paradigm of treatment routinely accuse each other of politicizing medicine, promoting dangerous ideologies, and abusing vulnerable children.
In the United States, civil rights discourse has come to overlay—some would say distort—these debates. In 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch likened North Carolina’s “bathroom bill” to the “dark days” of Jim Crow, when states “had signs above restrooms, water fountains and on public accommodations keeping people out based upon a distinction without a difference.”
The New York Times has suddenly discovered the existence of Hunter Biden’s laptop. More tellingly, the newspaper was also not de-platformed on Big Tech social media for reporting on it like the New York Post was when it first revealed the contents of the laptop weeks before the Nov. 2020 election.
Anti-imperialist activists won’t let go of America
Last week, Philip Bump of the Washington Postwrote a column about Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and referred, in passing and without elaboration, to “Right-wing pundit Glenn Greenwald”. The results were predictable. Greenwald’s defenders protested that he had previously supported the likes of Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn and Bolivia’s Evo Morales, doggedly opposed the last Bush administration, and used to write for the Guardian and the Intercept, which he co-founded.
The Islamic State (ISIS) is back. Five years after Donald Trump entered the Oval Office and quickly brought about the destruction of its caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIS is resurgent and wealthy. Could this have anything to do with Old Joe Biden’s misrule? Of course.
To be sure, there are other factors at play as well. An Iraqi security official said Friday that “recent assessments … put the group’s reserves at between $25 million and $50 million.” That could be a conservative estimate: the Wall Street Journal reported in September 2020 that ISIS had “assets ranging into the hundreds of millions of dollars across the Middle East and Central Asia,” according to “officials and government records.”
No, it was not an 83-year-old woman who killed Susan Leyden. Stop lying to us.
For a solid five minutes this week, I believed that an elderly woman in New York City had killed and decapitated another elderly woman. I believed it because it was in the papers. It was there in black and white. In the apartment of this ‘83-year-old Brooklyn woman’, the New York Timesreported, cops found the decapitated head of Susan Leyden, a 68-year-old lady who had gone missing. Police became suspicious of the 83-year-old woman and so they ‘searched her apartment’, the BBC said, wherein they found ‘a human head’. A few days later, not far from this seemingly evil woman’s apartment, they also found Ms Leyden’s leg and torso. Grim. And surely unprecedented. When was the last time a very old woman was alleged to have killed and then gruesomely dismembered another woman?
Russia’s war against Ukraine has run smack into the irony of history. History records that wars start because various heads of state or their commanders believe in at least three ideas: first, this war will be comparatively short; second, this war will end in a victory for our side; third, the cost of war, in terms of military and civilian casualties and economic losses, will be comparatively small relative to the expected gains. In addition, net assessments of the enemy’s goals and capabilities, when they are done at all, are frequently obtuse and based on outdated information or biased interpretations.
In a war, 38 percent of Americans would pile their SUVs high and join tailbacks for Canada or Mexico
For many of us war voyeurs watching the news with a glass of whiskey, admiration of the little-engine-that-could Ukrainian fighters is underwritten by unease. As families escape to safety, plenty of feisty Ukrainians are remaining behind to battle a far more powerful aggressor, and they’re not all men, either. The question nags, then: in the same circumstances, would we stick around to defend our homelands, or would we cut our losses and get out?
Investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald said the same people who pushed the U.S. into war with Iraq and Afghanistan for Republicans are now back to do the same for the Democrats with a war against Russia. Greenwald told FOX News’ Laura Ingraham on Thursday that people should be cautious when the two parties are in lockstep when it comes to war because that means there was very little debate and people were coerced.
Greenwald also said Russiagate and the hatred and distrust for Russia that was created is one of the reasons why the Russia-Ukraine conflict could not be solved diplomatically.
Canada “is a middle-sized power and what we’re good at is convening.”
When the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in lieu of any increased Canadian presence in the alarming crisis in Ukraine, makes a boast of Canada’s “convening power,” it is to wonder, perhaps even mandatory to ask, is Mélanie Joly serious? As bombs rain down, cities are pulverized, all canons of international behaviour outraged, we brag of a power to “convene?”
The woman who said she was raped “naturally reported it to police,” Nicholson told fellow members of the House of Lords. “The police spoke to the hospital, and the hospital informed police that there was no male in the hospital, therefore the rape could not have happened.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci spoke about retiring from public life as demands for his termination have grown louder this week.
Fauci, 81, told ABC News he is “certainly” thinking of retiring as President Biden’s top medical adviser. Suggesting he will stay on until the end of the pandemic, Fauci noted the pandemic might already be over.
The woman who said she was raped “naturally reported it to police,” Nicholson told fellow members of the House of Lords. “The police spoke to the hospital, and the hospital informed police that there was no male in the hospital,
