EU technocrats have put stopping the spread of populism before vaccinating Europeans.
Here is the latest statement on the EU Covid-19 vaccines crisis, from the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen: ‘If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?’
The discovery that the University of Leicester has created a ‘Student Sex Work Toolkit’ shouldn’t surprise anyone. The kit itself is comprehensive, and could presumably be used as a helpful ‘how-to’ guide to get into the sex trade: the legality of sex acts is listed in a handy chart, with ‘selling underwear online for sexual gratification’, ‘escorting’ and ‘sugaring’ all placed in the legal category.
When all of this is said and done — when COVID-19 and the restrictions brought in by politicians no longer dictate our days — there’s one major change we need to make to our public health laws and regulations.
We need to strip public health doctors of some of their arbitrary powers to ensure we never live under a doctatorship again.
U.S. intelligence agencies just issued yet another post-presidential election analysis claiming Russia meddled in the election to help Donald Trump defeat his Democratic opponent. The report also cited limited efforts by Iran and China to defeat Trump. But it appears that just like a similar intelligence report issued after the 2016 presidential election, there are good reasons to believe the new report was rigged to hurt Trump.
Only in America, as Yogi Berra would say, could a duchess who’s worth a cool $50 mill (give or take), lives in a 18,671-sq.-ft., $14.7 million mansion, travels the world on private jets lecturing the hoi polloi on over-consumption of fossil fuels, and whose every idiotic utterance is eagerly reported by the celeb media, still see herself a victim.
A White House spokesperson says the United States is carefully considering requests to eventually ship that country’s excess supplies of COVID-19 vaccines across the border to its neighbours in Canada and Mexico.
But she cautions that nothing is confirmed at this point.
The comments come amid mounting anticipation of what might happen to the stockpile of doses in the U.S. after that country has enough supply for all its residents, likely by late May.
Sounds more NO than Yes.
Customs and Border Protection officials are reportedly under an unofficial “gag order” and barred from talking to the press amid a worsening situation at the border.
Illegal immigrants continue to flood into the U.S., largely motivated by President Joe Biden’s lax policies on border security and soft messaging from his administration
A handful of emails sent out by Saint-Eustache Hospital in Montreal in November, obtained by La Presse, describe the patient in question as “difficult” and ask that “white women only” apply to be their carer.
Associate attorney general nominee Vanita Gupta, who has called for the decriminalization of all drugs in the past, reportedly owns tens of millions of dollars of stock in a company that has been accused of “fueling” Mexican drug cartels’ heroin production.

Last year we didn’t get up to much for my son’s second birthday. Ontario hadn’t yet gone into total lockdown by that point in March, but the schools had already shut down and it was clear there was more to come.
Oh well, we thought. He’s only two. He doesn’t know what he’s missing, so he’ll be content with a few presents and cake. We’ll make sure to do something extra next year.
‘This is a political scandal for the government, not for WE Charity.’ — Marc Kielburger at Monday’s House of Commons ethics committee hearing.
So, Marc, it’s a scandal you say, but just for the government, not for WE. I presume you mean the present government led by Justin Trudeau. A scandal for the Liberal government.
One thing we’ve learned over the past year as surging violence has been tearing up many American cities is that when you defund your police or reduce their numbers, incidents of carjacking rise proportionally. It’s an easy crime to pull off, particularly for gang members, and the profits are allegedly handsome. Also, they frequently enlist underage members to commit the crimes, knowing that they will be back out on the street in short order. That was the case in Minneapolis over the winter.
Parents are exploring new educational options for a post-pandemic America.
Though Covid-related restrictions are easing across the country, fewer than half of America’s students are back in school full-time, according to Burbio, a website tracking school reopenings. A look at the national map shows that the most populous state, California, is also the most locked down, while the third-most populous, Florida, is almost completely back to normal. In October 2020, Brown University reported that politics and teachers’ union strength best explain how school boards approached reopening. In a September 2020 study, researchers Corey DeAngelis and Christos Makridis found that school districts in places with strong teachers’ unions were much less likely to offer full-time, in-person instruction in the fall.
