It came a day after President Joe Biden issued a proclamation announcing “Black Maternal Health Week” to draw attention to the fact that black mothers die “from complications related to pregnancy” at higher rates than women of every other race.
Scientific American to begin using term ‘climate emergency’
In publishing the op-ed “We Are Living in a Climate Emergency, and We’re Going to Say So,” senior editor Mark Fischetti called attention to the magazine’s decision, which insists that “this is a statement of science, not politics.”
Daunte Wright protesters leak Kimberly Potter’s home address online forcing police to guard property: Officer ‘to be charged today’ following 3rd night of national unrest
The third night of Daunte Wright protests turned violent as demonstrators clashed with police in Minneapolis while Portland’s police union building was set on fire during the riot.
At least 60 people were arrested at protests in Portland, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago overnight on Tuesday.
Curfews had been in place for Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Crystal, Columbia Heights, New Hope and Maple Grove from 10pm local time, but had done little to stem the demonstrators.
Fisher-Price Releases ‘My First Peaceful Protest’ Playset With House You Can Actually Burn Down
The toy geniuses at Fisher-Price have announced a brand new toy made just for leftist parents and their kids: the My First Peaceful Protest playset. The kid-size clubhouse will come with several varieties of spray paint so kids can tag the tiny building with their own empowering slogans. It will also be made out of cardboard, allowing the cute little tikes to burn the whole thing down if their demands are not met.
O Canada: Woefully Behind On Vaccinations, And Seeing A Surge In Cases Of Variants Of Concern
Canadian public health officials and physicians are particularly concerned about the rapid spread of both the B.1.1.7 and P.1 variants across the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec.
The 5 Surprising Health Benefits of Learning to Shoot a Gun
Discovering that shooting guns is good for you is like learning your favourite snack food is full of vitamins. But it’s true, and it makes perfect sense when you think about it. Shooting combines the physical elements of posture, balance, and strength with the mental components of focus and discipline – bringing together muscular and psychological qualities in a similar way as a yoga class. The good news is you get the same mind/body benefits even if you don’t say “Namaste” after you’re locked and loaded (although it would be worth the reaction if you did!).
New Yorker who wants to marry their adult biological CHILD sues to overturn laws banning incest, saying it is a matter of ‘individual autonomy’
The parent filed the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court on April 1 asking a judge to declare incest laws ‘unconstitutional’ and unenforceable so that they can wed their offspring in a ceremony in New York City.
CDC Warns Americans Against Travel to Canada, Even if They’re Vaccinated
“Because of the current situation in Canada, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants and should avoid all travel to Canada,” the website now reads. “If you must travel to Canada, get fully vaccinated before travel. All travelers should wear a mask, stay 6 feet from others, avoid crowds, and wash their hands.”
Wait, what? What do vaccines do? And what about airlines? And what about Roxham Rd?

Like Many Statist Politicians, Chrystia Freeland Seems Quite Excited About The “Political Opportunity’ A Year Of Suffering Has Created To Push An Agenda
Often times, oversimplification is a negative thing.
This is a world full of nuance, and trying to package everything into neat little categories leaves much out.
However, there are times when simplification can help to clarify a relevant truth.
And in this case, that truth is that there fundamentally two kinds of politicians:
Those who see public service as a way to defend the rights and freedoms of those they serve, and those who see public service as an opportunity to exercise power and reshape people’s lives.
Rex Murphy: Trudeau’s true face has emerged while in power, and it isn’t pretty
There’s a catchy line in one of T.S. Eliot’s early poems. Actually, now that I think about it there are many catchy lines in T.S. Eliot’s early poems. Many more in fact than in his later ones.
He wrote in Prufrock “there will be time/Time to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.” It’s the latter part that stays so solidly in mind that of preparing “a face to meet the faces that you meet.” There in ten short and plain words is the essence of all political campaigning. Political parties, and their leaders particularly, are the masters of this craft of preparing their faces. Today we call it image making, or more stolidly communications strategy, or media relations.
Diane Francis: The Liberal government is Canada’s biggest problem
The Liberal convention involved the usual self-congratulatory nonsense about a job well done, which wasn’t true, an endorsement by a former central banker promoting his new book, and not a single innovative idea as to how to pay for everything they want to give away in order to be re-elected.
Survey: Democrats Say More Important to Make It ‘Easier’ to Vote than Prioritizing ‘No Cheating’ in Elections
A majority of U.S. likely voters believe it is more important to secure the integrity of the election and prevent cheating than make it “easier” to vote, but a majority of Democrats disagree, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Tuesday revealed.
Biden May Indefinitely Suspend Programs Upholding Religious Freedom
“This is a major shift away from international religious freedom – moving away from even calling it religious freedom,” said Nina Shea, who serves as the director of the Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute, a conservative foreign-policy think tank. “It’s more of a watered down freedom of belief or religion, and equating religion with belief, which is very dangerous because that would mean you have a right to believe what you want to believe but you may not be allowed to practice it in a public square.”
Stuck: Most still say Biden ‘cheating’ beat Trump
The latest evidence from Rasmussen Reports:
- By a margin of 51%-44%, voters said it is “likely” that cheating affected the outcome. That included 74% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats.
- Some 47% said it is likely Democrats stole or destroyed ballots for former President Donald Trump. That included 75% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats. An even 50% said that it is unlikely ballots were destroyed.
In Minnesota, attacks on police are escalating in ugly ways
We learned yesterday that Daunte Wright’s death in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota occurred after Wright wildly fought off the arresting officers, only to have an officer mistake her gun for her taser. The complete absence of information about Wright’s cause of death didn’t stop the usual suspects from going to war against their own community, looting and destroying property. However, unlike last year, the escalation against the police is getting more vicious because people are being encouraged to dox police and threaten their families.
Major News Outlets Pledge to Begin Calling ‘Climate Change’ a ‘Climate Emergency’
A number of major news organizations worldwide, ranging from Scientific American and The Columbia Journalism Review to The Guardian and Al Jazeera, have signed a pledge to begin referring to “climate change” as a “climate emergency” in their reporting.
“Scientific American has agreed with major news outlets worldwide to start using the term ‘climate emergency’ in its coverage of climate change,” the publication announced Monday in a tweet to its 3.9 million followers touting “the impact we hope it can have throughout the media landscape.”
BCF will from now on refer to “Climate Change” as “Studebaker.”
The Transformative Magic of Wokeness
How it twists MLK’s vision of racial brotherhood into a shared contempt for white “deplorables.”
Last Wednesday, on BBC’s TV debate program Newsnight, host Emily Maitlis interviewed two American guests about the allegedly racist new Georgia voting law that led Major League Baseball to move the All-Star Game, scheduled for July 13, from that state to Colorado.
Now, anyone who’s taken the trouble to learn the truth about the law, which was passed in the wake of widespread ballot fraud in the 2020 election, knows that it’s thoroughly unremarkable. Voters – all voters – are required to show ID before they can cast their ballots, just as baseball fans are required to show ID when picking up their tickets to an MLB game. But the Biden Administration and its allies have obscured this fact, painting the law as an effort to suppress the black vote. The premise of their argument is that an ID requirement is particularly hard on blacks – apparently because, unlike whites and Asians, they can’t be expected to get their act together well enough to secure proper ID.
Latest Assault on Tucker Carlson Over Replacement Theory Backfires
ADL’s Greenspan, CNN’s Lemon wind up targeting progressives.
You can’t make it up.
The other day, Fox’s Tucker Carlson had the nerve — the nerve! — to make the points quoted below in a discussion with Mark Steyn. The topic: replacement of voters and one culture with a population of new voters and another culture.
Why is Twitter suppressing criticism of Black Lives Matter?
A black journalist has been barred from Twitter for exposing BLM’s hypocrisy.
A journalist has been locked out of his Twitter account for criticising Black Lives Matter.
Jason Whitlock shared a link to the story that Patrisse Khan-Cullors, one of BLM’s co-founders, had purchased a $1.4million compound in Topanga, LA. This is reportedly only the latest in a string of high-end buys by Khan-Cullors. Whitlock, a black journalist, tweeted that black people make up just 1.4 per cent of the town’s population, adding mockingly that ‘She’s with her people!’.
