As President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken ponder how to entice the Palestinian Authority (PA) to negotiate with Israel, a far more significant problem is being ignored. The Biden team marched along, facilitating a transfer of money to the PA and reopened the U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem, another Palestinian demand, without tangible reciprocity. But this will not reveal the elephant in the room: an inevitable, coming uprising by Hamas in the West Bank.
Questions have been raised over Haiti’s official narrative for the assassination of its president, Jovenel Moïse, who was gunned down at his mansion in Port-au-Prince last Wednesday.
Haitian police and the politicians who stepped into the political vacuum created by Moïse’s killing have claimed he was shot at about 1am by members of a predominantly Colombian hit squad who had stormed the president’s hillside residence. “Foreigners came to our country to kill the president,” police chief Léon Charles alleged after the shooting.
… On Friday, Steven Benoit, a prominent opposition politician and former senator, told the local radio station Magik9: “The president was assassinated by his own guards, not by the Colombians.”
Forget about it Jake. It’s Haiti.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) sat down with Breitbart News and warned that Democrat policy-pushing pop star Taylor Swift would be the “first victim” of a top-down “Marxism” government. The video went viral, prompting far-left journalists, artists, and pundits to quickly circle the wagons around Swift, throw tantrums, and hurl personal attacks at Sen. Blackburn.
Five California police officers sued the city of Palo Alto after officials commissioned a mural featuring a convicted law enforcement killer.
In June 2020, authorities approved 16 paintings that spelled out “Black Lives Matter” in a 245-foot-long display, according to a lawsuit filed in a superior court. The letter “E” portion of the mural featured Joanne Chesimard, better known as Assata Shakur, who was convicted in 1977 for the murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster before she escaped confinement and fled to Cuba for refuge.
The FBI classifies her as a most-wanted terrorist.
On any given day, were you to ask Canadians which they would prefer as between (x) a plague and (y) an election, you might be surprised how many would — with astonishing speed at that — go for option x.
The city of Charlottesville, Va., has taken down a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, marking the end of a years-long effort to have it removed.
Videos shared to social media showed the statue being hoisted off its stone base Saturday morning, with some in the crowd cheering as it was removed from the pedestal.
RoseAnne Archibald, who was elected national chief of the Assembly of First Nations on Thursday, now faces controversy over a report on an investigation into allegations that she harassed staff members while she was a regional chief.
The confidential May 3 report, a copy of which was obtained by The Globe and Mail, examines Ms. Archibald’s behaviour towards staff when she was the AFN’s Regional Ontario Chief, a role she assumed in 2018.

Majority of Canadians think COVID-19 U.S. border restrictions should lift this year: Nanos
OTTAWA — A majority of Canadians are in favour of lifting all pandemic-prompted travel restrictions at the Canada-U.S. border this year, according to a new survey from Nanos Research.
As conversations continue about when the federal government will lift certain border measures like mandatory testing, quarantines, and limits on who can cross into Canada for non-essential reasons, new data indicates that most people will be ready for a return to pre-pandemic rules by the end of 2021.
Media outlets on both the left and right have paid remarkably little attention to the Biden budget. It’s true that it contains all the usual numerical and analytical density that make budget analysis so impenetrable, but the Biden budget deserves attention for the unprecedented direction it clearly intends to take the country.
“It’s an attempt to use race as a mechanism for redefining our society, redefining what it was based on and how it impacts everybody and it wants our people to believe that your race is the most critical determinant of who you are and what happens to you in our society. In other words, it’s a bunch of garbage.”
Twenty-four U.S. states have seen an uptick of at least 10% in COVID-19 cases over the past week, Johns Hopkins University data shows, as health experts and the federal government keep pressing for more people to get vaccinated.
Well of course it’s worse, the Chicoms have had more time to refine it.

What happened to the idea of adults being resilient and taking action rather than putting on endless emotional displays?
Which Dungan dish do you like better: ash lan fin or lamian? Chances are you’ve never heard of either, mainly because the items are staples of Dungan cuisine — which I’m betting you’ve also never heard of. After all, how many restaurants in America feature the foods of Chinese Muslims who left their homeland in western China around the turn of twentieth century and settled in neighboring Kazakhstan (aka the Dungan people)?
The ingredients found in Dungan preparations — things like tripe (stomach) and bean jelly might prompt one to describe the cuisine as “exotic.” But to do so, according to Washington Post food critic G. Daniela Galarza, is to show your xenophobia.
Politicians are well-known for speaking out of both sides of their mouths.
At no time did we see more of that behaviour than during the past 16 months of the COVID-19 pandemic when we expected our politicians to show some modicum of leadership.
Sadly, for the most part, that leadership has been lacking in so many areas.
