I’ve had hea
The rare disorder, usually caused by a virus, has been linked to COVID-19. But following a number of reports from Israel of patients developing the inflammation in conjunction with receiving vaccines, the Israeli Health Ministry is exploring a possible link, Israel’s Channel 12 reported Friday, according to the Jerusalem Post.
A blinding flash of light, something unidentified overhead or aliens at the door. Somewhere the truth is out there.
Canadians appear to be seeing more “out there” while scanning the night skies in increasing numbers. The COVID-19 pandemic has people spending more time outdoors, which has led to a growing interest in astronomy and unusual calls to RCMP 911 dispatchers.
Now we can begin. To be based, simply enough, begins with being willing to speak your mind and state objectively true facts about the world even when people don’t like you for it. It means neither lying nor apologizing just because the crowd expects you to, least of all under the absurd implication that doing so makes you more virtuous and brave. It is the refusal to be concerned with what other people think of you when you’re being yourself and the recognition that it doesn’t even make sense to apologize for being true to yourself and your values, telling the truth as well as you can see it, or making a joke, even a bad one. In judo and jujitsu, base is what keeps you from getting thrown, swept, or flipped. Having base is based.
“It’s about direct cash payments,” Trahern Crews, a spokesperson for BLM Minnesota, told Insider. “Reparations is cause for a cessation, which means stop killing them, or stop harming them.”
What gives politicians the right to say alcohol and marijuana are ‘essential’ but faith gatherings aren’t?
The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage continued its clause-by-clause review of Bill C-10 on Friday. As reported in the National Post and iPolitics, the meeting featured a motion brought by Conservative MP Rachael Harder calling on the committee to suspend review of the bill until an updated review of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms implications can be conducted by the Minister of Justice in light of the removal of Section 4.1, that provided safeguards against regulating user generated content under the Broadcasting Act. The motion also calls on the Ministers of Justice and Canadian Heritage to appear before committee to discuss the issue.
LGBTQ activists and some concerned parents are hoping to force Halifax Public Libraries to censor a book that’s skeptical of transgender ideology from its shelves because they see it as being “dangerous” and “transphobic.”
One of the mysteries of the 2020 election is why Big Tech firms suddenly came up with an unprecedented ‘standard’ to censor one of the most powerful political figures in the world: Donald Trump. Now, we finally have insight about some of the behind-the-scenes communications between a state government, a Biden-linked firm, and Big Tech companies during the 2020 campaign.
The pandemic has brought into relief a dissonance between our idealised image of science, on the one hand, and the work “science” is called upon to do in our society, on the other. I think the dissonance can be traced to this mismatch between science as an activity of the solitary mind, and the institutional reality of it. Big science is fundamentally social in its practice, and with this comes certain entailments.
On the surface, the people of the country seem to be very divided right now. If, however, you take out the fanatic fringes of both the left and right, we really aren’t. We all want a peaceful place to live, decent jobs, a good economy, opportunity, fair and equal treatment…in short, the pursuit of happiness.
What has always been at issue is not whether these are good and proper things to want, but how we might obtain them. The highest-profile issue at the moment is immigration. As I mentioned, other than the fringe radicals, most Americans want to accept immigrants from other places but disagree on the process to use so that we can be assured that the desires enumerated above are not threatened, but are enhanced.
In the 1970s, O.J. Simpson and Bruce Jenner were at the pinnacle of American sports. Simpson was an extraordinary running back and Jenner was the Olympic decathlon winner. Since then, O.J. Simpson probably murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, while Bruce Jenner turned out to believe he’s a woman named Caitlyn. Neither of them is a person to whom one should look for rational thinking. Nevertheless, 2021 is such an utterly insane year, completely eclipsing the insanity of 2020, that both men have come out with common-sense statements in the past two weeks.
The Biden administration is all about the science. Like all lefties it loves science. Political science.
Here’s the behind-the-scenes politics of what happened when the CDC decided schools should reopen, but Randi Weingarten and the AFT had a different point of view.
The public only got a taste of what was going on.
It is a human activity that is subject to human frailties
When I read Tom Chivers’ post about Young Earth creationism I groaned inwardly. Not because I objected to what he’d written — it’s very good — but because it contained the news that the likely next leader of the DUP is a creationist.
Great, I thought, that’s all we need. If this man is elected then the self-appointed science vigilantes are going to go ape.
For saying ‘America is not a racist country’, Scott has been branded an Uncle Tom.
The rebuttal speech to a US president’s address to Congress is usually a non-event. Not this year. Republican senator Tim Scott provided a solid, policy-filled response to Joe Biden’s speech marking his first 100 days in the White House. But the remarks by Scott, an African-American, on the use of race in American politics are what really set it apart, especially when he declared that ‘America is not a racist country’. That simple statement, which in the recent past would have been uncontroversial, led to a deluge of frothing-at-the-mouth outrage from those who are convinced that the US is fundamentally and irredeemably racist.
They won’t enforce canon law against him.
The post-Vatican II Church has bred many of her own destroyers. Joe Biden is the premier example of this phenomenon. He is the anti-Catholic “Catholic” who persecutes his own church. He represents a political class of bad Catholics that grows larger with each passing year.
Minutes before Derek Chauvin was convicted on all three counts of murder and manslaughter, Ma’Khia Bryant, a black teenage girl in Columbus, Ohio, was shot dead by police. Almost immediately, enraged protestors gathered outside police headquarters. “Say Her Name!” they chanted. The New York Times reported that the girl’s grieving mother, Paula Bryant, had told WBNS that her daughter was “a very loving, peaceful little girl.”
In an attempt to correct a tendentious version of events immediately promoted by civil rights attorney Ben Crump (and uncritically repeated by the Times) in which the young victim was described as unarmed, the Columbus police department took the unusual step of releasing the officer’s body-worn camera video the same day.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping personally directed the communist regime to focus its efforts to control the global internet, displacing the influential role of the United States, according to internal government documents recently obtained by The Epoch Times.
In a January 2017 speech, Xi said the “power to control the internet” had become the “new focal point of [China’s] national strategic contest,” and singled out the United States as a “rival force” standing in the way of the regime’s ambitions.
Is Guilbeault working for Xi?
A free roadside book kiosk in a West Yorkshire village is being filled with X-rated literature, sparking a hunt for the library porn prankster.
The unnamed joker placed the erotic books in a wooden box set up for residents of Cornholme, near Todmorden, to exchange reading material.
However the filthy donations sparked outrage from one villager, who pinned a note onto the green box, which is sat upon a wooden pole next to the village noticeboard, demanding it stop.
Hope it’s not the local reverend.
For decades, flying saucers were a punch line. Then the U.S. government got over the taboo.
On May 9, 2001, Steven M. Greer took the lectern at the National Press Club, in Washington, D.C., in pursuit of the truth about unidentified flying objects. Greer, an emergency-room physician in Virginia and an outspoken ufologist, believed that the government had long withheld from the American people its familiarity with alien visitations. He had founded the Disclosure Project in 1993 in an attempt to penetrate the sanctums of conspiracy. Greer’s reckoning that day featured some twenty speakers. He provided, in support of his claims, a four-hundred-and-ninety-two-page dossier called the “Disclosure Project Briefing Document.” For public officials too busy to absorb such a vast tract of suppressed knowledge, Greer had prepared a ninety-five-page “Executive Summary of the Disclosure Project Briefing Document.” After some throat-clearing, the “Executive Summary” began with “A Brief Summary,” which included a series of bullet points outlining what amounted to the greatest secret in human history.
Long but interesting read. I remain open to the possibility.
