Are broken supply chains here to stay? Why we’re running out of everything

Welcome to the age of shortages, where an endless list of items, from cars to appliances to energy, are chronically hard to come by. Is this a temporary crisis or something we’re going to have to live with long term?

Temperature extremes this winter will feel like ‘weather whiplash,’ Canadians warned

Toronto Looks To Health Canada To Decriminalize All Drugs

The Biden Profiteering Scandal the MSM Is Ignoring

Seemingly the only major media company digging into and uncovering the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop is the New York Post. The investigative journalist who has done most of the digging is Miranda Devine, and she has a forthcoming book detailing her findings regarding the Biden family’s corrupt business dealings with China titled Laptop from Hell.

Horowitz: It’s now clear that the leaky shots have made the virus worse than ever

So, what have we gotten after injuring countless people all over the world with leaky, ineffective injections? Well, last week, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bragged that his state is second in the nation in booster shots, has over 80% of all adults with at least one shot, and is sixth in the nation in injecting 5- to 11-year-olds. What he failed to say is that over the past week, Minnesota and Michigan are No. 1 in COVID cases! A leftist like Waltz will never wake up and smell the vaccine-mediated viral enhancement, but will the GOP governors finally call for a suspension of this pandemic-inducing injection?

Australia to introduce new laws to force media platforms to unmask online trolls

American cities are reverting to primitive, self-destructive behavior

American cities on the Democrats’ watch are drifting away from civilization. The most obvious problem is the rise in crime, everything from murders to mass retail theft. Just open any Chicago or New York newspaper to see what I mean. But the decline in civilization happens in smaller ways, too, as a story out of San Francisco perfectly illustrates.

The Search for COVID-19 Origin: New Book Leans Toward Lab Leak

It’s been almost two years since COVID-19 struck, and the origin of the virus remains a mystery. Did the virus jump from animals to humans in a natural spillover event, or was it the result of a laboratory leak? A new book explores these and other questions on the source of the coronavirus that has killed more than 5 million people worldwide to date.

“We don’t come to a conclusion, but we do lean towards the lab leak being slightly more likely at this stage,” said UK science writer Matt Ridley, who co-authored “Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19” with Canadian molecular biologist Alina Chan, a postdoctoral researcher specializing in gene-therapy and cell engineering at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University.

The Lethal Mix of Woke Rap and Live Nation

When leftist causes and massive concerts intersect – and turn deadly.

On December 6, 1969, Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones looked out over the massive crowd at California’s Altamont Speedway and saw the concert security staff, the Hell’s Angels, beating up an audience member. The Angels, who were paid in beer rather than cash to act as security that day, had apprehended a man named Meredith Hunter, 27, who attempted to approach the stage. When Hunter attempted to approach the stage again, this time with a revolver, he was beaten by the Angels and then stabbed to death by Angel Alan Passaro. The melee, which was captured on film, caused a nervous Jagger to announce, “People, people, let’s be cool!”

Why young Kurds are migrating to Europe – This is a crisis built on aspiration, not desperation

Why have so many Iraqi Kurds made the journey to both the Poland-Belarus border and the English Channel? The situation of 2021 should not be confused with 2015. It is not mere desperation that motivates these journeys — aspiration, and the chance to embarrass a resented political order have played a part as well.

Was Iranian mother’s death an ‘honour killing’? Police probe whether woman was killed due to ‘cultural reasons’

Detectives are investigating whether the death of a mother at a house in Liverpool may have been due to ‘cultural reasons’.

Malak Adabzadeh, 47, also known as Katy, was found dead at an address in Stoneycroft shortly before 5pm on Thursday, according to Merseyside Police.

Police said Ms Adabzadeh had been living in Stoneycroft but was originally from Iran.

That’s some “culture” you got there.

America is tearing itself apart – The most advanced nation in history is descending into madness.

The noted moral philosopher Adam Smith once observed that there is ‘a great deal of ruin in a nation’. He was referring specifically to Britain’s ability to withstand a few overseas military humiliations in the US War of Independence. But more generally the point was that it takes an awful lot of bungling by political leaders to really bring down a powerful and prosperous state.

So, basically, though it sounds somehow pessimistic, the message is: don’t be disheartened by temporary downturns and moral panics. We have all been here before and we have the resources to re-nourish ourselves and rise again in the spring. To build our sand castles afresh between each high tide of woe.

The Great Rebellion: Is Iran falling apart?

The Israeli and Western reference to Iran focuses on three main issues: Iran’s military nuclear project and rockets; expansion of Iranian presence (direct and indirect) in Arab states, mainly Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen; and the Ayatollahs’ regime. Occasionally, there is an allusion to the Iranian economic situation and its COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Rarely, do political, military or editorial elements address the Iranian population which in general is referred to as “The Iranian People.”

That is precisely the point. There is no such People. What exists in Iran is a population half of which is Persian, and the other half a large number of “non-Persian peoples”: Azeris (in the northern part, south of Azerbaijan), Arabs (in Al-Ahwaz overlooking the Persian Gulf east and north), Kurds (north-west), Turkmans (north-east) and many other smaller groups: Lurs, Kashkais, Caspians, Mazendaranis, Gilyaks and others.

‘Immigration is war’: an interview with Éric Zemmour

He speaks in newspaper columns: press his opinion button and he’s off. His eloquence is almost hypnotic

Éric Zemmour looks down at a copy of The Spectator and cocks his eyebrows at the unflattering cartoon of him on the cover. He decides he doesn’t care. “It takes a lot to offend me, you know,” he says. He then leafs through the magazine making polite and appreciative noises. “Ah, Doooglas Murray!” he exclaims. “I like Doooglas Murray very much. We’ve exchanged ideas.”

Zemmour is in London as part of his still undeclared campaign to be the next president of France — to curry favor with and raise money from the many French voters who live in the capital. But the British Establishment has given him a cold reception. Mayor Sadiq Khan said he wasn’t welcome. The Royal Institution canceled his event. The UK government ordered Conservatives to call off meetings with him. That could be because Boris Johnson hopes to repair badly damaged relations with Emmanuel Macron, the man Zemmour wants to eject from the Élysée Palace. Or it could just be that Mr Z is considered so right wing as to be toxic.

Israel Warns Biden on Iran

With Joe Biden the warning can only fall on deaf ears, as he’s determined to revive Obama’s Iran Deal.

Last week, the Israeli government warned President Biden that the new U.S. approach to Iran, seeking to revive former president Obama’s 2015 nuclear weapons deal with the ayatollahs, is exceedingly dangerous. The Israelis warn of a “less for less” deal in which we would offer Iran some relief from our economic sanctions in return for some reduction in their development of nuclear weapons.

To understand how bad this deal or any other deal to revive the Obama agreement would be, we have to remind ourselves about the agreement and what has happened so far.

‘Why should I distinguish between white people and racists?’ Inflammatory 2010 tweet from new Indian-American CEO of Twitter Parag Agrawal resurfaces

The new Twitter CEO is already facing racism claims, after a 2010 tweet resurfaced in which he appears to call all white people racist.

In the tweet, published on October 26, 2010, Parag Agrawal, an Indian-American man who was named as Jack Dorsey’s successor on Monday, wrote: ‘If they are not gonna make a distinction between Muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists?’

The tweet was apparently quoting comedian Aasif Mandvi, who had appeared in an episode of The Daily Show in a segment pitting black people against Muslim people, playing on the irrational fear of the two minorities.

Rupa Subramanya: We are not responsible for low vaccination in the developing world, whatever social justice warriors say

Back in March, the president of Tanzania, John Magufuli, died, very likely due to complications from COVID-19. Ironically, the autocratic ruler of the east African nation had been a staunch COVID-19 denier, refusing to vaccinate his country’s population and instead recommending traditional cures and prayer.
