Sometimes it pays to step back in history to understand exactly how something monumental was created. This is the story of how one Big Lie turned our world upside down and ruined the lives of millions of people.

New report warns of ‘new normal’ of government spending
Canada among highest energy consumers as countries move to net zero emissions
The International Energy Agency’s World Energy Outlook published Wednesday shows Canadians used more than 300 gigajoules of energy per person last year, more than three times the world average and among the highest in the world.
David Wells: The Canadian flag should not be used as a political prop
Rather than permanent acts of symbolism, our attention would be better given to addressing the boil-water orders and the housing crisis on reserves. There’s so much work to do; focusing on the flag is merely a distraction.
They are saying the quiet part out loud. https://t.co/Ad2MvwOeGq

Report shows Babbitt not a deadly threat
A DC Metropolitan Police Report on the Ashli Babbitt shooting was obtained by Judicial Watch. It shows one thing clearly. There was no legitimate justification for Lt. Michael Byrd to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt.
The standard requirement for use of deadly force was in effect which requires an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury. None of the statements by officers at the scene show that standard was met.
What is the NSBA, and why is it trying to shut down parents?
A special interest group unfamiliar to many outside education circles has prompted Washington to investigate parents who attend school board meetings.
Parents and policymakers should be asking what this group is, where it gets its money from, and if its members agree with intimidating families. The answers will surprise you.
School cancels Halloween parade because event ‘marginalises people of colour’
Costume parties could become uncomfortable for some students and distract them from learning, school tells parents.
Empty Christmas stockings? Don’t blame COVID; blame California
The conventional wisdom from the left is that COVID is the reason that shipping containers are in the waters off California with no stevedores or truckers available to take care of them. The implication is that if people would stop being selfish and take the vaccines, the whole problem would magically vanish. That’s nonsense. As a couple of astute articles explain, the problem is that California has passed two laws — one for “climate change” and the other as a sop to the unions — that destroyed much of California’s trucking industry. Add in woes unique to the industry and COVID payments that discourage people from working and…voilà!…empty Christmas stockings.
Fire Marine Corps Commandant David Berger
America needs a Marine Corps that wins battles instead of building woke safe spaces.
11 Marines came home in boxes after the bombing at Kabul airport carried out by an Islamic terrorist freed from a prison near Bagram Air Base that had been abandoned by Biden. Other Marines were seriously wounded and hospitalized for months after the attack.
All across America there are recruiting billboards for the Marine Corps with the message, “For Marines There Are Only Battles Won”. But in the runup to the disastrous retreat from Afghanistan, the only things the Marine Corps really cared about were wokeness and race.
Narrative Not News: No Wonder Media Is Loathed
Gallup Poll and Katie Couric provide new evidence why media is utterly distrusted and disliked.
While many on the left are still using the mantra “follow the science,” it appears to be a mantra that has no meaning. President Joe Biden made a speech in Illinois last week in a push to get employers to require COVID-19 vaccinations of their employees. Yet during the speech, he spread misinformation when he claimed that vaccinated people (he was referring to health care workers) could not spread the virus. We know that this is not true; vaccinated people can get the virus without showing any symptoms, and they can then spread the virus to others. Science also tells us that if you have had COVID-19 and survived, your body has created antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19. A person who has already had the disease is less likely to get it again than is someone who had not. But in a push to get employers to require the vaccine, Biden ignored this science.
The triumph of America’s ruling class
Angelo Codevilla warned that secrecy was the key to power
America is caught in a “revolutionary spiral”. An oligarchy composed of a small number of corporate and government rulers may be in control, but they face opposition from Rednecks clutching at guns and God, working-class peasants of colour resistant to polygender empowerment doctrines and vaccine mandates, and the fact that roughly half of the US population has so far refused to submit to their rule.
Sally Rooney and the bigotry of the BDS movement
If it’s true Ms Rooney is refusing a Hebrew translation of her new novel, then that’s appalling.
If it is true that Sally Rooney is refusing to allow her latest novel to be translated into Hebrew, then that’s a new low for the anti-Israel set. It crosses the line from taking a political stand into territory that is much darker and more dangerous. This is what’s being reported: that Ms Rooney turned down an Israeli publisher’s offer to translate Beautiful World, Where Are You into the historic language of the Jewish people because she supports the cultural boycott of Israel. According to Haaretz, when Modan, the publisher, approached Rooney’s representatives, it was told it could not bring out a Hebrew version of the book because Ms Rooney backs the BDS movement and its demand that we boycott the cultural and intellectual output of the Jewish State.
‘There are not two sides of the Holocaust’: Texas schoolboard apologizes after superintendent told teachers to offer books with ‘opposing’ views by willfully misinterpreting new law banning CRT
A Texas school district superintendent apologized after an administrator was recorded suggesting that teachers should offer students access to an ‘opposing’ perspective when teaching the Holocaust, in order to comply with the state’s new laws banning critical race theory.
On Thursday night, Carroll Independent School District (ISD) superintendent Lane Ledbetter issued an apology ‘I express my sincere apology regarding the online article and news story released today.’
He apologized after a school administrator was recorded saying that teachers needed to offer opposing views to lessons, specifically naming the Holocaust.
COVER-UP: Loudoun County Schools Failed to Report Multiple Rapes Over Years
Although Virginia law requires that “Reports shall be made to the division superintendent and to the principal or his designee on all incidents involving … sexual assault,” Rosiak’s research revealed Loudoun County Public Schools failed to “record multiple known incidents of alleged sexual assault.”
The law also states that school superintendents can be held “personally liable for violations.”
Emphasis added, mostly for the benefit of Loudoun Superintendent Scott Ziegler, who claimed at a June school board meeting that “To my knowledge, we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms.”
Woke Walmart trains staffers in critical race theory: US a ‘white-supremacy system’
Woke Walmart has trained more than 1,000 employees in critical race theory, denouncing the US as a “white-supremacy system” — and telling staffers to accept their “guilt and shame” and stop thinking “white is right,” according to leaked documents.
The retail giant confirmed to City Journal that it has been working with the Racial Equity Institute, a North Carolina company devoted to “creating racially equitable organizations.”
‘There was blood everywhere’: UK and Irish survivors on 2015 Bataclan attack
Witnesses to atrocity in Paris music venue that killed 90 tell court of playing dead and trying to help the wounded
British and Irish survivors of the 2015 terrorist attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris have told a court how they played dead on the ground in a river of blood to avoid being shot, or crawled across the floor between bodies as gunmen murdered concertgoers one by one.
English-speaking witnesses travelled to Paris on Friday to testify at France’s biggest ever criminal trial over the attacks claimed by Islamic State on 13 November 2015, which killed 130 people and injured more than 400 in synchronised suicide bombings and mass shootings across the French capital.
U.S. confirms it will accept Canadian travellers with mixed vaccines
Canadians with mixed vaccines and U.S. travel plans can breathe a sigh of relief tonight.
Following weeks of speculation, the United States confirmed late Friday it will accept mixed vaccines when new rules kick in on Nov. 8 requiring that foreign travellers entering the U.S. be fully vaccinated.
Instagram Censors Evolutionary Biologist for Saying What Everyone Knows About Transgenders in Sports
It is perfectly fine if leftists wish to live in a fantasy world. But it is not okay for them to try to force everyone else to live in said fantasy world.
Instagram recently censored a post from Colin Wright, an evolutionary biologist. His crime? Posting about a study showing that biological men were more proficient than biological women in most sports.
Was January 6 Part of the FBI’s ‘Operation Cold Snap’?
It’s only a matter of time before we learn how many “Big Dans” or Stephen Robesons were part of January 6.
The tony, bucolic town of Dublin, Ohio would be one of the last places in America expected to host a convention of white supremacist militiamen. Nestled along the Scioto River, the Columbus suburb’s biggest claim to fame is hosting the PGA’s annual Memorial Golf tournament every summer.
But in June 2020, days after the nation was roiled by Black Lives Matter looting and rioting, a man from Wisconsin named Stephen Robeson sponsored a “National Militia Conference” at a Dublin hotel. (Yes, that was the real name of the event.)
Apple takes down Koran app in China
Apple has taken down one of the world’s most popular Koran apps in China, following a request from officials.
Quran Majeed is available across the world on the App Store – and has nearly 150,000 reviews. It is used by millions of Muslims.
The BBC understands that the app was removed for hosting illegal religious texts.
The Chinese government has not responded to the BBC’s request for comment.
The deletion of the app was first noticed by Apple Censorship – a website that monitors apps on Apple’s App Store globally.
