Several media members rushed to President Joe Biden’s defense Tuesday after it was suggested the president lied about feedback he was given by top military officials regarding last month’s horrific withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Within their testimonies, Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie described how they both recommended the U.S. maintain a 2,500-troop presence in Afghanistan.
Wearing second-hand clothes without this being blamed on “the bad morals of my race” is an example of white privilege, students have been told in a compulsory diversity course.
The University of Kent has instructed every student to complete the four-hour mandatory module, covering topics such as white privilege, microaggressions and pronouns.
The course, titled Expect Respect and seen by The Telegraph, includes a white privilege quiz where participants are asked to pick which of 13 options are societal benefits allegedly enjoyed by white people in the UK.
… A decision on Huawei’s participation is part of a broader national security review of next-generation wireless technology. The new technology is as much as 100 times faster than existing 4G technology.
But the decision had seemingly been stalled as Canada’s relationship with the People’s Republic of China spiralled during the saga of Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou and Canada’s “two Michaels.”
One pollster said those events would make it hard for the Canadian government to now allow Huawei access to the 5G network.
Failing to block Huawei’s involvement would result in swift backlash from Canadians, in fact, predicted Mario Canseco, president of Vancouver-based polling firm Research Co.
There is no reason to delay Huawei’s exclusion. But Trudeau is the figure-head of Canada’s China class and he will protect their interests above all others.
SYDNEY, Sept 29 (Reuters) – CNN said it is preventing Australians from accessing its Facebook Inc (FB.O) pages after a court ruled that publishers can be liable for defamation in public comment sections and the social media firm refused to help it disable comments in the country.
The move makes CNN, which is owned by AT&T Inc (T.N), the first major news organisation to pull its Facebook presence in Australia since the country’s highest court ruled this month that publishers were legally responsible for comments posted below articles – even if the articles themselves were not defamatory.
… and raise you an Aztec God
For the Afghans left behind….
For the French who were double-dealed….
For the Texans confronting an open border that mocks our nation’s sovereignty…
And for the members of the Fed who privately know just how destructive our massive national debt will be to our future…
All of them may want to learn a word not currently in their vocabulary:
Canada has doubled to 40,000 the variety of Afghans fleeing the Taliban that it plans to soak up, the Canadian overseas minister stated Monday, fulfilling a campaign pledge made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
YouTube is moving to block and remove all content that spreads misinformation about vaccines against COVID-19 and other illnesses, such as measles, hepatitis and chicken pox.
The Google-owned online video company said in a blog post on Wednesday that any content that “falsely alleges that approved vaccines are dangerous and cause chronic health effects” will be removed.
It’s a common trope that foreign policy is never a ballot question. As riled up as Canadians got about Afghanistan in our recent election, research showed it had little impact on the choices they ultimately made. Bread and butter issues like childcare or concerns about climate change mattered more than how well the prime minister performed — or did not perform — on the world stage.
Oh yea, Justin will be right on this, as soon as the China class gives him the go-ahead.
One of the organizations in charge of distributing millions in Liberal media bailout funds has come out in support of the pro-censorship bill, C-36, and has called for the law to provide legal protections for journalists who face harassment online.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, News Media Canada offered its support for the bill in a submission to the Department of Canadian Heritage.
“This is not about limiting democratic expression. It is about protecting it, and its most precious guardians, journalists. And it is about ensuring all publishers including internet intermediaries are held accountable for harmful content,” wrote News Media Canada CEO Paul Deegan.
Does that include David Menzies?
OTTAWA — As the Conservative Party prepares to review its 2021 election loss, one of the biggest internal battles will be on environmental policy: Did Erin O’Toole’s inclusion of carbon pricing in the Conservative platform hurt the party’s performance?
I predict the CCP shift to the left is permanent. If not O’Toole the “braintrust” will install a “leader” equally suited to their ideological shift. They will continue to mouth “conservative positions” only to walk them back as needed.
Vice President Kamala Harris has angered supporters of Israel by expressing support for a college student who accused the country of ‘ethnic genocide’ against Palestinians.
The interaction came as Harris made a surprise visit on Tuesday to a political science class at George Mason University in northern Virginia to encourage voter registration and discuss voting rights.
A former Tory MP with significant military experience once told me that former Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Jon Vance, who is the subject of sexual harassment and obstruction of justice allegations, was “a very good soldier, but a very bad boy.”
