House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Sunday blamed former President Trump for the current crisis at the U.S. southern border, saying that President Biden inherited a “broken system” from the previous administration.
“This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us,” Pelosi said Sunday morning during an appearance on ABC.
David Asher, the former lead investigator into the state department’s investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, believes the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and was the result of an accident by the Chinese military, which was researching a bioweapon at the time.
“This is Talibanisation from inside the republic,” Sima Samar, an Afghan human rights activist of nearly 40 years, is quoted as saying by the Associated Press
The Afghan education ministry says it is investigating a recent statement from the director of education in the capital, Kabul, which banned girls older than 12 from singing in public.
The ban was widely criticised on social media. Girls shared clips of themselves singing using the hashtag #IAmMySong.
The row comes amid concerns about consequences of a possible peace deal with the Taliban.
So the Government and the Taliban sing the from the same songbook? Color me shocked.

AP Interview: Minister says Afghan forces can hold their own
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s interior minister said Saturday that Afghan security forces can hold their ground even if U.S. troops withdraw, challenging a warning from the United States predicting a withdrawal would yield quick territorial gains to the Taliban.
Masoud Andarabi’s comments in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press were the first government reaction to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s warning issued in a sharply worded letter to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani last weekend.
Sounds good, time to go.
What is there to make of Erin O’Toole?
The MP for Durham, just east of Toronto, has been leader of the Conservative party for just over six months and faces the prospect of a federal election in less time than that.
Mr. O’Toole may be a very nice man but I don’t know him personally.
He presides over a party little different from Trudeau’s Liberals.
He favours mass immigration from wherever the numbers can be had to please the corporate class.
He walks the walk of the Woke, kowtowing to Trudeau’s media believing identity politics are the key to winning over urban voters in Ontario and Quebec.
He stands for nothing that I can see. Not free speech, not small government, (and I mean real cuts to the bureaucracy) and I doubt he will do anything about the CBC as he “promised.”
What’s not to like?
Portland, Oregon, has been the most politically violent city in the United States since Donald Trump was elected in 2016. Just a few days after the result, a peaceful protest against the incoming president turned into a riot when anarchists broke off from the main group and rampaged through the Pearl District, a renovated SoHo-like neighborhood adjacent to downtown packed with art galleries, loft apartments, bookstores, and restaurants. Vandals used baseball bats and rocks to break cars, plate glass windows, bus shelters, electrical boxes, and anything else that looked smashable.
A United States government regulator overseeing the communications industry labelled five Chinese telecommunications companies a “threat to national security” on Friday, including Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corp.
Announcing the designation, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said that telecommunications products and services provided by the companies posed “an unacceptable risk to US national security or the security and safety of US persons.”
Included alongside Huawei and ZTE in the list were Hytera Communications Corp, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, and Dahua Technology Co.
Good news, not for the hostages, not for Trudeau but then who cares about Trudeau.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) reporter and biographer Michael Shnayerson on Saturday alleged that Cuomo has has a history of “predatory behavior” that has been “evident for years.”
In a lengthy article published in Vanity Fair on Saturday afternoon, Shnayerson wrote that the most recent allegations of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of the press against Cuomo are consistent with the New York governor’s “checkered past.”
The US Marine Corps is adjusting its aim after facing public backlash over suggesting that men critical of the Pentagon’s mission creep towards wokeness should serve, get pregnant, and only then speak on the issue.
“What it looks like in today’s armed forces [Tucker Carlson], Get right before you get left, boomer,” the Marines tweeted on Friday, accompanying the tweet with an image of a smiling female officer carrying a fellow officer.
The destruction of society’s institutions on the parade ground.
OTTAWA — The biggest lesson Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam says she learned from the experience with COVID-19 a year into the pandemic is that: “we failed the most vulnerable.”
“I think the tragedy and the massive lesson learned for everyone in Canada is that we were at every level, not able to protect our seniors, particularly those in long-term care homes,” Tam said in an interview on CTV’s Question Period. “Even worse is that in that second wave, as we warned of the resurgence, there was a repeat of the huge impact on that population.”
And Government is still failing the vulnerable.
My Mother died from Covid she contracted in a hospital. A hospital that holds many seniors as it is a physio rehab facility.
Despite earlier outbreaks vaccination was not offered vulnerable patients at that facility.
That’s murder.

Markle is allegedly prepping in case Biden, who will be 82 in 2024, decides not to run for a second term, the source said. And her biographer and longtime friend, Omid Scobie, has also claimed that the one-time actress “has her eyes set on the U.S. presidency.”

Ont. reports more than 1,700 new cases of COVID-19 but province says tally inflated due to ‘data catchup’
The province is reporting more than 1,700 new cases of COVID-19 but officials say today’s case count is artificially high due to a “data catchup process.”
Provincial health officials are reporting 1,747 new infections today, up from 1,468 on Saturday and 1,371 on Friday.
The Biden team is claiming that their response is humane, but as this new, CBS News report explains, they’ve reactivated a crisis — which President Donald Trump effectively solved — with their horrendous policies. So no, it isn’t humane when they trigger a flood and can’t effectively deal with it because of the massive amount of people.
There are some people who wake up every morning, have a cup of coffee, sit down, and do nothing all day long except look for something to be offended by.
As per usual, patriotic protesters showed up at the Radisson quarantine hotel near the Toronto airport to hopefully shuttle inmates — er, I mean, “guests” — to their homes. Alas, there were no takers on this day.
And so it was that the demonstrators decided on a whim to move their protest five minutes east to the Toronto HQ of Deco Labels, which happens to be owned by none other than Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
