… The bottom line is, a false account of Sicknick’s death became an integral part of the national conversation about the Capitol riot. Now, the damage from that false account cannot be un-done. But the news organizations and commentators who fed the frenzy should report the medical examiner’s findings and their implications prominently and accurately — and tell viewers and readers that they had it wrong.
‘This information was hidden from you on purpose’: Buck Sexton
Tuesday on Newsmax TV’s “Stinchfield,” Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz addressed Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D-CA) tactics amid the Derek Chauvin trial, saying she is trying to “influence” and “intimidate” the jury.
Dershowitz said Waters is taking a page out of the Ku Klux Klan’s playbook to influence court cases by threatening violence.
The Quebec Superior Court has struck down some sections of the province’s secularism law, but also ruled its most controversial provisions are constitutional.
In a ruling handed down Tuesday morning, Justice Marc-André Blanchard said the Quebec government has the right to restrict what religious symbols are worn by government employees, such as teachers, police officers and prosecutors.
But he also said the law can’t be applied to English schools because it violates minority language education rights, protected under Section 23 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is out to bribe voters with $100 billion of our own money in the next election by throwing cash at every voting bloc the Liberals believe they will need to recapture a majority government.
It’s no surprise. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said the Liberals would spend up to that amount over three years to promote economic recovery in her November economic statement.

Peel Region to order sweeping business closings in rebuke of Ontario’s COVID-19 measures
Peel Region’s top doctor is ordering sweeping new business closings to combat the third wave of COVID-19, as Premier Doug Ford faces growing pushback over his government’s pandemic plan.
Lawrence Loh, Medical Officer of Health for Peel, will issue a new order on Tuesday to direct all businesses with five or more cases of COVID-19 within the past two weeks to shutter for 10 days.
The closings will be ordered when at least five cases are deemed to have been “reasonably acquired” in the workplace, and will take effect as early as Friday. The names of the businesses will be published on Peel’s website once they’ve been notified. The region includes the cities of Brampton and Mississauga.
According to sources close to O’Toole, very few people within the party knew about the new climate plan until it was reported by the media.
In the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency, the big three cable TV networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) unleashed a barrage of negative attacks on the president. According to the Media Research Center (MRC), the legacy media networks hammered Trump with 89 percent negative coverage. Yet in the first few months of Joe Biden’s presidency, the coverage flipped.
Surely there must have been people in cabinet, in caucus, who could have told Ford he was yet again courting disaster. Instead he blundered straight into it.
A Lancet report published Thursday from epidemiologists and experts across both Canada, U.S. and the U.K. found an overwhelming amount of evidence that the disease was spread through aerosols — tiny airborne particles that come from people’s mouths when they breathe, talk or cough.
Where the hell do I even begin?
That’s not really a rhetorical question. The past 72 hours in Ontario have been, with no exaggeration, the most bizarre three days I’ve ever covered — or even witnessed. There are four or five different columns I could write about it, and all would cover some entirely distinct, eye-popping angle. There’s the “dozens of police forces refuse premier’s offer of power to arbitrarily stop and interrogate any citizen without limit” column. There’s an entire column about what the new police powers — even the lesser, revised versions — mean. There’s a border-closure column. There’s a column about the insanity of closing playgrounds. There’s a column about the volcanic eruption of public anger after the new emergency measures were announced on Friday. You could do an entirely separate one just on the astonishing outpouring of on-background-only and off-the-record wailing and horror by Progressive Conservatives themselves, the likes of which I have never seen.
Is this Tehran?
It looks like it, doesn’t it? But as Logan Ratick of Newsmax reveals, no, it’s not, it’s at a ‘protest’ in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
Hospitals are shifting critically ill patients around, looking for any empty bed. Nurses and doctors are putting in exhaustion-defying amounts of overtime. Some provinces are opening new intensive care unit capacity.
But it may not be enough to stave off a point no one wants to reach in the pandemic — when only a handful of ICU beds remain but a greater number of patients need those spots.
Supporters of consensual incest are advocating for the taboo arrangement to be decriminalized after the recent story about an anonymous New York couple suing to have the state’s anti-incest laws overturned.
When someone lies to you over and over and over again, so blatantly, without even pretending to tell the truth, and then expects you to go along with it, what does that person think of you?
The Doug Ford government has not, as of Monday, come anywhere close to fixing what it broke on Friday. That could cost the Tories the next election, if Ford even makes it that far.
It’s often said that success in politics is about dividing your enemies and unifying your allies. Ford, his cabinet, and his caucus have managed the rather spectacular feat of dividing their allies and unifying their enemies. And the task of getting back on a solid footing for next year’s election is going to be in large part about trying to reverse the damage of the past two weeks — and especially the damage of the past 96 hours.
The act, which has never been used, gives the federal government the power to override provincial laws to ensure “safety and security” during national emergencies.
While refusing to answer any basic questions about when endless lockdowns and mask mandates will be scrapped, Chief Medical advisor to Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, is now appearing on TV to advocate for more gun control.
The new website and app was proudly unveiled by China’s Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), with authorities calling on users to play an “active role” in helping to identify “malicious people distorting facts and confusing” others.
Citing a “gun violence public health epidemic,” President Biden has promised both executive and legislative action against firearms rights. Epidemic? Homicides, including gun homicides, trended steadily downward from the early 1990s through 2019. The surge in crime and homicides starting in 2020 coincided with the riots, urban disorder, and defund-the-police activism that roiled America last summer.
