President Joe Biden on Wednesday hoped relief was coming for Americans still suffering from the coronavirus pandemic, even as the country passed a grim milestone for deaths from the virus in 2021.
This will end a long career
This is what CAF members have received. Vaccination Refusal is not an option for a service member.
Hmmmm
Less-than-meets-the-eye as #MandatoryVaccination rollout by @CaFreeland exempts 212,000 fed employees & requires less proof than going to a restaurant: "Why?" https://t.co/U5S3vIXlo1 #cdnpoli @PSACnat @TBS_Canada pic.twitter.com/OLfckvVGti

Antifa sets fires in Portland, vandalizing city while Mayor Wheeler says he must “work to be a feminist”
Following the decision by a grand jury to not indict the officer who fatally shot a man in Lents Park this past April, Antifa rioters decided to engage in some “direct action” on October 1st – setting fires and committing various acts of vandalism.
While the city of Portland played host to rioters during the weekend, Mayor Ted Wheeler announced that his “work to be a feminist is not done”, capitalizing on the Women’s March.
The AHS’ Mismanagement of ICU Beds appears linked to the NDP’s War against Jason Kenney
I am no fan of Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, or the UCP for that matter, and I think his new regime of draconian restrictions and passport system is absolutely abysmal, but at the same time, it would be dishonest to hold Kenney solely responsible for the current situation. There are clearly forces inside and outside of the government pressuring Kenney and the UCP into blowing up the COVID-19 situation into something worse than it really is.
Dave Chappelle Calls Out The Hypocrisy Of The #MeToo Movement In His New Standup ‘The Closer’
Chappelle’s latest special opens with him standing in front of a maskless crowd, in an intimate, close setting. For a moment, you forget it was recorded in August 2021, at least until he mentions his personal experience with vaccination and Covid-19. But it doesn’t take long for Chappelle to hit many hot-topic subjects, one of which is the Me Too movement. He illustrates the flaws with it, the superficiality and vapidness around it when it hit Hollywood, and the hypocrisy around it. Chappelle isn’t wrong about it at all, and he actually offers a bit of advice of what could have gone differently – and maybe what we can change – with the movement.
LEVY: How are we supposed to have faith in the government’s flawed COVID rules?
It’s easy to crow that Canada will have the “strongest” travel measures in the world – and threaten stiff penalties for non-compliance – as the Trudeau government did Wednesday.
The execution is quite a different matter.
BERNIN’ UP! Sanders Says Republicans Out to ‘Plunge World’s Economy into Chaos and Depression’
Radical Senator Bernie Sanders published an unhinged rant on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, accusing his Republican colleagues of working to “plunge the world’s economy into chaos and depression.”
“The Republican Party’s lust for power and political gain is so great that they are prepared to default on the debt they voted for under Trump, and plunge the world’s economy into chaos and depression. To call that ‘irresponsible’ would be a major understatement,” posted Sanders on social media.

The Hidden World Of Wasted Billions In Canadian Foreign Aid
The government of Canada’s annual donations in foreign aid to Third World countries is one of the most overlooked issues in Canadian society. Billions of dollars are being shipped out of the country each year under spurious circumstances.
How Much Are We Supposed To Give Up For ‘Safety’?
We could easily eliminate much of the danger in our world. So why don’t we?
Trudeau stayed in $18.8 million beachfront rental property for Truth and Reconciliation Day vacation
When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decided to mark the first National Truth and Reconciliation Day by hitting the beaches in Tofino, B.C., he stayed in a multimillion-dollar beachfront estate.
What did I just watch!?

Sweden suspended the use of Moderna for those recipients under 30, Denmark said those under 18 won’t be offered the Swiss-made vaccine, and Norway urged those under 30 to get the Pfizer vaccine instead.
Hillary Clinton Whines Republicans Created a ‘Constitutional Crisis’ With Election Integrity Laws
Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is getting back into the political fray.
She said, in an interview with The Atlantic, that she is concerned that the Republican Party is engaged in minority rule and that we are on the brink of a “constitutional crisis.”
“I won the popular vote, lost the Electoral College by 70,000-plus votes, and we saw all this stuff online about the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks and the Russians and all of that,” she said, again lamenting her defeat to Donald Trump in 2016.
The Facebook outage shows we need to rein in Big Tech
Facebook attributed its six-hour downtime this week to fat-fingered system administrators, rather than to sabotage. It was a reminder of how crude and neglected the internet’s key infrastructure has become. Plans to improve the key protocols remain a bone of geopolitical contention, as the most comprehensive set of improvements has been advanced by China. Other options – as I have previously explained on spiked – lie largely unexamined.
If America’s going to split apart, here’s what will happen to you
When Abraham Lincoln spoke the prophetic words “a house divided against itself cannot stand” — in a speech before the Illinois Republican state convention in 1858 — he was a relatively unknown politician. He saw the obvious: North and South were hopelessly divided over the issue of slavery — or more fundamentally, states’ rights — and a breakup was all but unavoidable. This came to pass in just a few years’ time in the form of the Civil War.
An Afghanistan Grows In Wisconsin
Biden didn’t withdraw from Afghanistan. He brought Afghanistan to America.
The skies over Sparta have never been as busy as when the Biden administration decided to dispatch 13,000 Afghans, including at least one pedophile, to Wisconsin.
Sparta, a small town of less than ten thousand souls, whose claim to fame is being the “Bicycling Capital of America”, could only watch as a population of Afghans outnumbering its own population created a new Afghanistan on the premises of Fort McCoy.
Biden administration fights to keep details of CIA torture of detainee secret
The US supreme court is set to hear arguments about the government’s ability to keep what it says are “state secrets” from a Palestinian man who endured brutal torture by the CIA following 9/11 and is now held at Guantánamo Bay.
At the center of the case being heard on Wednesday is whether Abu Zubaydah, who was captured in Pakistan in 2002, can get information related to his detention.
Zubaydah and his lawyer want to question two former CIA contractors about Zubaydah’s time at a secret CIA facility in Poland where they say he was held and tortured.
There will always be bad men in the police
Campaigners against violence need to work out what ‘success’ means
There haven’t been many crimes in recent years as appalling as the murder of Sarah Everard. The horrific details of the case were made public last week, during the trial of Wayne Couzens, the man who raped and killed her; and they are made all the more difficult to stomach by the fact that he was a serving police officer. It’s the abuse of a position of trust that makes this crime particularly chilling.
What’s even more appalling is that Couzens had apparently committed indecent exposure twice: once in 2015 and once three days before Everard’s murder.
Trump-Russia Collusion Narrative Takes Another Stab Wound to the Gut
I feel like this narrative has suffered a death worse than Mussolini. Like him, it’s been stabbed, shot, and mutilated to no end. It’s a myth. It was based on manufactured lies by the Deep State. If you gather the limbs, the entrails, and duct tape it back together, you’ll get what was the Russian collusion hoax. The FBI and others in the DC swamp knowingly used Democrat-funded opposition research as the basis to spread a false narrative about Trump and the 2016 election. It was done because these people didn’t like the fact that Hillary Clinton lost.
When virtue-signalling goes wrong: LGBT rainbow crossings are apparently confusing guide dogs.
Rainbow zebra crossings have spread like an unsightly rash across the world. When one first appeared in the town in which I live, opinion was divided. Well-meaning straight people enthused about ‘inclusivity’ while others harrumphed about ‘PC gone mad’. As for those who were supposed to be represented by the rainbow, most of us were somewhere between bemused and embarrassed – the overwhelming response was ‘why?’.
How left-wing protesters are justified, but angry moms are ‘domestic terrorists’
When is a protester “angry and justified” and when are they a “domestic terrorist”? It all depends on how far left they are.
This week, activists stalked Sen. Krysten Simena into a women’s restroom at Arizona State University, where the senator teaches a class. Angry that she won’t vote for the Democrat’s unprecedented $3.5 trillion reconciliation mega-bill, the protesters filmed her walking into a bathroom stall.
