“Some 70 Hollywood public relations firms are organizing a mass action against the Hollywood Foreign Press Association [HFPA],” reports TheWrap.
What this means is that if the HFPA, which runs the Golden Globes, does not do some immediate affirmative action hiring of certain protected groups, all 87 members of the HFPA will be blacklisted. In other words, the Woke Gestapo will make it impossible for members of the HFPA to do their jobs.
Authorities said Monday there was no indication the Nashville RV bomber was motivated by social or political ideology when he blew himself up inside his recreational vehicle on Christmas Day.
The FBI made the determination as it closed its investigation into Anthony Quinn Warner’s suicide blast that injured six people in downtown Nashville.
The Washington Post in a recent correction revealed it printed falsified quotes attributed to former President Donald Trump.
A recording of Trump’s December 2020 phone call with an investigator working from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office was sent to media outlets last week.
In a March 11 update to a story originally published in January about the call, the paper acknowledged its story featured quotes that weren’t actually uttered during the conversation.
Having failed to get anywhere with the Taliban, the Pentagon is now going after Tucker Carlson. Who ought, in theory, to be an easier target.
It began last week when Tucker noted that Joe Biden had emerged from his basement for “International Women’s Day” and held a White House event touting the US military’s recent achievements on that particular front – including such brilliant innovations as better maternity flight suits for pregnant pilots. Do the growing numbers of pregnant males get paternity suits – or is that still just a courthouse thing?
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials have arrested and charged two men with assaulting U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick with bear spray during the Jan. 6 riot, but they do not know yet whether it caused the officer’s death.
George Tanios, 39, of Morgantown, West Virginia, and Julian Khater, 32, of Pennsylvania, were arrested Sunday. They were expected to appear in federal court Monday. The idea that Sicknick died after being sprayed by a chemical irritant has emerged in recent weeks as a new theory in the case.
Two men who plotted a terror attack to derail a VIA Rail passenger train travelling between Toronto and New York could get a new trial because the judge hearing their case allegedly called the FBI’s undercover agent, who was the key witness against them, “a hero,” during the trial.
Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser are using the comment, purportedly made in private to the FBI agent’s handler, to challenge their convictions and sentences to life in prison for an al-Qaida-inspired plot.
The conversation with the judge is recounted in a published memoir by the undercover agent.
MONTREAL — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered reassurances on the safety of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on Monday as the list of European countries suspending its use due to safety concerns grew.
Germany joined others in Europe pausing their use of the AstraZeneca vaccine over reports of blood clots in some recipients, even though European regulators say there’s no evidence the shot is to blame.
Thalidomide was hailed as a wonder drug for pregnant women… just sayin
“…What we have to do is grow in Ontario and in British Columbia in particular, and in Quebec. We have to make sure we have a million more Conservatives going to the ballot in the next election. And that’s going to mean we have to grow who we’re speaking for,” O’Toole said.
“We need to reach out … We have to enlist more people in our mission. And I’ll tell you, reaching out is working. Because Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Singh, all the parties on the left, they don’t stand up for working families anymore. They stand up for protest groups and people on Twitter more than they do the pipe fitter, or the electrician, or someone that wants to get back to work so they can save up for their kids’ education.”
“We’re going to fight relentlessly for these people.”
Beats me how supporting mass immigration to please corporate interests is “standing up for working families.”
Policy that in the real world translates to a “A smaller piece of the pie for you” doesn’t sound like it will win over hearts and minds.
Perhaps it’s just too nuanced for me to understand and the conservative brain trust can explain it all to to me.
The Danish Parliament has approved a new law that bans foreign governments from financing mosques in Denmark. The measure is aimed at preventing Muslim countries, particularly Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, from promoting Islamic extremism in Danish mosques and prayer facilities.
Denmark joins a growing list of European countries — including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland — which have taken varying degrees of action to prevent foreign governments from financing the construction and upkeep of mosques on their territories.
ROME — Pope Francis insists in a new book things will never be the same in a post-pandemic world, calling instead for the establishment of a “new world order.”
In a book-length interview with journalist Domenico Agasso titled God and the World to Come, scheduled for release in Italian on Tuesday, the pontiff reiterates his case for the Great Reset with a shift away from financial speculation, fossil fuels, and military build-up toward a green economy based on inclusiveness.
Update… Catholic Church ‘cannot bless same-sex unions’
The Catholic Church does not have the power to bless same-sex unions, the Vatican office responsible for doctrine has said.
It is “impossible” for God to “bless sin”, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) said on Monday.
But the CDF did note the “positive elements” in same-sex relationships.
In October, Pope Francis said in a documentary that he thought same-sex couples should be allowed to have “civil unions”.
Mayor Sadiq Khan says he wants fewer white men working in science and engineering. His plan to “fix” the situation has sparked a furious backlash online.
“There’s no good reason why 65% of people working in science and engineering should be white men,” Khan tweeted on Saturday, citing figures from the British Science Association. Khan went on to claim that “inequality costs people’s futures & the economy billions,” but reassured voters that “we’re working on fixing it.”
The family of a Pakistani army officer called a racial slur by Prince Harry in 2006 claims Meghan Markle’s allegations of racism in the royal family are “wrong,” according to a report.
The Duke of Sussex apologized three years later for calling his then-Sandhurst colleague Ahmed Raza Khan a “Paki” in a video that he shot himself, The Sun reported.
Harry also used a racial slur against another comrade-in-arms in the clip, which he made a year after sparking outrage by dressing up as a Nazi at a party, according to the outlet.
I liked Harry till he was Meghanated.
Rogers Communications has signed a deal to buy Shaw Communications in a transaction valued at $26 billion, including debt, which would create Canada’s No. 2 cellular operator — but is likely to face stiff regulatory scrutiny.
Under the plan, Rogers will pay $40.50 in cash for each of Shaw’s issued and outstanding class A and class B shares. Shaw’s class B shares closed at $23.90 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday.
As part of the transaction, the companies said Rogers will invest $2.5 billion in 5G networks over the next five years across Western Canada.
Is this really a good idea? In Crony Capitalism Canada it is!
Rogers fines 91-year-old woman unable to return equipment due to lockdown
The family of a 91-year-old woman is outraged Rogers had demanded she pay hundreds of dollars for failing to return phone and internet equipment while her long-term care home was under lockdown.
The family cancelled those services for Joan Davis in early May after noticing her dementia was worsening and she was struggling to use them.
They kept basic cable to help her pass the time. Her daughter, Lori Davis, says Rogers told the family a technician would pick up the equipment, but never showed.

The Canada-U.S. border’s been shut down for a year — and there’s no reopening plan
The one-year anniversary of the quasi-shutdown of the Canada-U.S. border will come and go next week, with no end in sight to disruptions that have affected lives, businesses, and communities touching the world’s so-called longest undefended frontier.
Once again, the tightening will be extended on March 21 for another month as it has every month since the pandemic crashed onto this continent last year.
Once again, the people most affected will wonder what the plan is for reopening and what sorts of public-health stats would allow regular travel to resume.
The truth is: There is no plan.
