During an interview with CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Buttigieg attempted to put a good spin on the supply chain issues causing prices to skyrocket, calling it beneficial. Amid concerns of the upcoming holidays, Buttigieg credited the sight of empty shelves as a sign Joe Biden has “successfully guided our economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession.”
Quebec’s largest nurses’ union says health-care workers are beyond exhausted as they continue to feel the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic and that the use of mandatory overtime to cover staffing shortages must end.
The viral ‘Let’s Go Brandon!’ mass take down of President Joe Biden has inspired a unique rap version that on Sunday perched squarely at the top of the iTunes hip-hop chart.
Justice Minister Hugh Flemming noted that N.B. First Nations are claiming title to ‘over 60% of the province’.
Legal opinions usually aren’t terribly fun to read, but if you’ve been an ivermectin and/or hydroxychloroquine advocate for use against Wuhan Plague, this one definitely will bring you much joy.
It’s a rather lengthy and full spectrum opinion issued by Doug Peterson, Nebraska’s Attorney General, in response to a query from the state’s Department of Health and Human Services as to whether physicians can be persecuted and tormented for prescribing ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine to patients sick with the China Flu. What the AG’s response amounts to is a full and complete takedown of the conspiracy to suppress cheap and effective early Covid-19 treatments.
Let there be no confusion at this point:
Governments around the world are deliberately attempting to turn their societies into more authoritarian states, seeking to restrict personal freedom and turn back the rise of free speech that the internet has enabled.
In Ontario, the Toronto Maple Leafs can fill their arena with thousands of fans but capacity limits are still applied to restaurants. What is going on here? How does that make sense?
For many Canadians, this isn’t even surprising anymore. This is just another instance of the government forgetting about the little guy.
The recent murder of British Parliamentarian David Ammes illustrates the point. Comparing Canadian presentation with international media output reveals a stark contrast. Only within non-Canadian media sources is there an emphasis on the identity of the accused.
The alleged killer is Ali Harbi Ali, a British national of Somali heritage. While Canadian media speculate on the danger of violence toward Canadian MP’s, they omit or downplay the identity of the accused– on purpose.

When it comes to politics, nothing matters anymore. At least, that’s true as long as you are a Democrat, and Kamala Harris illustrated that perfectly yesterday with the release of a law-breaking video. In it, she clearly endorses Terry McAuliffe to be Virginia’s next governor, which is technically allowed for the vice president because she’s exempt from the Hatch Act. Yet, it’s where the video is going to be played that should lead to legal consequences.
Still acclimating to the post-White House political spotlight, former President Barack Obama is back ginning up enthusiasm for President Joe Biden and other Democrats as the incumbent struggles to unite his party and the country behind his sprawling liberal agenda.
Democrats like President Joe Biden tend to be very good at giving orders but not very good at following their own rules.
On Saturday night the president, and first lady Jill Biden, were caught on video and in pictures cavorting in a Washington D.C. restaurant and not wearing their required masks.
Washington D.C. has a district-wide mask mandate even for those who are fully vaccinated.
Where the Ivy League goes, America follows.
The Ivy League matters because Ivy Leaguers occupy the commanding heights of the American culture, economy, and government. Six of the last ten presidents went to Ivy League schools, and another two went to their peers (Duke and the United States Naval Academy). Seven of the nine current Supreme Court justices went to the Ivy League or Stanford for both undergraduate and law school. Ditto for the Senate majority leader.
“When people see a strong horse and a weak horse,” Osama bin Laden once famously quipped, “by nature they will like the strong horse.” America during the period in which Old Joe Biden continues to pretend to be president of the United States is decidedly a weak horse, and bin Laden’s old outfit has noticed. Last Wednesday, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a video crowing over the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan and promising to inflict damage on the scale of 9/11 in America once again.
In Portsmouth they behaved like they wanted a war, not dialogue
To the annual FiLiA conference in Portsmouth. A 1,000-strong gathering of women of all ages and viewpoints, united by a desire and commitment to ending male violence, oppression and domination of women and girls.
Everyone there is interested in dipping their toes in the water of the women’s liberation movement. A big focus is the campaign to end rape, domestic abuse, commercial sexual exploitation, and femicide, the killing of women and girls by men because they are women and girls.
The response to this suspected Islamist murder is absurd.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but nasty tweets, the alleged ‘coarsening’ of political debate, or the salty insults of one Angela Rayner are not responsible for the murder of David Amess. Actually, you know what? I do know who needs to hear this, because in the wake of the barbaric murder of this much-loved Essex MP on Friday, scores of politicians and commentators have been trotting out one or more of the above explanations and pretending that it’s meaningful analysis.
An operation to evict squatters from the left-wing Kopi trailer camp in Berlin has turned into a medieval-style standoff as shield-bearing police officers used siege towers and armored vehicles to ram the walls of the compound.
The “autonomists” living inside the housing project on 137 Kopenicker Street – commonly referred to as ‘Kopi’ by Berliners – in the center of the German capital had been fortifying their camp during the week, including placing barbed wire on top of the walls, ahead of the planned eviction on Friday.
Declassified documents reveal how in 1965 a shadowy dirty tricks arm of the Foreign Office incited anti-communist massacres that left hundreds of thousands dead
In early 1965 Ed Wynne, an official from the Foreign Office in London in his late 40s, arrived at the door of a two-storey villa set in the discreet calm of a genteel housing estate in colonial Singapore.
But Wynne was no ordinary official. A specialist from the Foreign Office’s cold war propaganda arm, the Information Research Department (IRD), he had been assigned to lead a small team. A junior official, four local people and two “IRD ladies”, seconded to the unit from London, would join him.
The arrival of Wynne and his colleagues in the Winchester Road cul-de-sac marked the beginning of what would later be claimed, by those who led it, as one of the most successful propaganda operations in postwar British history. A top secret operation that helped overthrow the leader of the fourth most populous country in the world and contributed to the mass murder of more than half a million of its citizens.
When a population is placed in a state of sufficiently grave fear and anger regarding a perceived threat, concerns about the constitutionality, legality and morality of measures adopted in the name of punishing the enemy typically disappear. The first priority, indeed the sole priority, is to crush the threat. Questions about the legality of actions ostensibly undertaken against the guilty parties are brushed aside as trivial annoyances at best, or, worse, castigated as efforts to sympathize with and protect those responsible for the danger. When a population is subsumed with pulsating fear and rage, there is little patience for seemingly abstract quibbles about legality or ethics. The craving for punishment, for vengeance, for protection, is visceral and thus easily drowns out cerebral or rational impediments to satiating those primal impulses.
Beware the racial bean counters, nothing good comes of their efforts.
I refer to an Oct. 4 column on The Atlantic website, ominously titled “America Is Losing Its Black Police Officers.” In the piece, Atlantic staff writer David A. Graham laments what he perceives as the vanishing diversity in the ranks of America’s police departments. “[S]ome of America’s largest police forces are suddenly—and quickly—getting less diverse,” he writes, “as two trends converge: A wave of Black officers is reaching retirement age, and recruitment efforts to replace them are sputtering.”
There is growing skepticism — frankly, it’s looking more like flat-out mistrust — when it comes to how the public views the way both the media and government talk about COVID-19, and one tragic story out of Alberta shows us why.
