The greenest thing about Big Green is its mountain of cash.
New research from the Capital Research Center reveals that groups on the environmental Left poured out the record $2.4 billion in 2019 (see the data in the Appendix). This stunning figure contrasts with the self-image of the environmentalist movement as David vs. Goliath: impoverished, idealistic eco-activists outgunned by powerful interests in the “fossil fuel” industry.

Royal aides have hit back at the Duchess of Sussex before her television interview with Oprah Winfrey by revealing that she faced a bullying complaint made by one of her closest advisers during her time at Kensington Palace.
The sources approached The Times because they felt that only a partial version had emerged of Meghan’s two years as a working member of the royal family and they wished to tell their side, concerned about how such matters are handled by the palace. The complaint claimed that she drove two personal assistants out of the household and was undermining the confidence of a third staff member.
Canadians’ desire to drop monarchy reaches ‘historic level’: poll
TORONTO — A new poll has found that the desire among Canadians to drop the monarchy is at the highest level recorded in the past 12 years.
The poll, conducted by Research Co., found that 45 per cent of Canadians surveyed said they would prefer to have an elected head of state instead of the Queen, when considering Canada’s constitution.
Denmark has become the first European nation to tell Syrian migrants they must return to their home country, saying it is now safe for them there.
The Scandinavian nation has stripped 94 Syrian refugees of their residency permits after it determined Damascus and the surrounding area as being safe.
Migrants will be sent to deportation camps, but will not be forced to leave. But rights groups say the government is trying to give migrants no other option than to return to Syria on their own accord.
And AOC steps in it again… Can we kick out immigrants like Denmark does? Critics snicker after AOC lauds McDonald’s workers’ wages in European nation
Opinion: Chinatown attacks won’t divide Black and Asian communities
You probably started seeing the headlines a few weeks ago suggesting that Oakland Chinatown was being targeted with hate crimes. Inflammatory security-camera footage showing a Black man assaulting an elder was suddenly everywhere. Reddit and NextDoor were crawling with trolls claiming knowledge of supposed widespread anti-Asian American bigotry in Black communities.
…Our Black and Asian communities have come together to push back against anti-Black and anti-Asian violence in recognition that all violence comes from the same root causes: white supremacy and capitalism. Black folks are dying from gun violence in East and West Oakland, and folks in Chinatown are experiencing a rise in robberies and assaults. But it’s all coming from the same source.

Arizona is recommending teachers promote ‘equity’ and social justice through an ‘antiracist’ agenda that sees racism in toddlers and recommends progressive and Black Lives Matter materials as the cure.
An ‘equity and diversity’ toolkit for teachers, parents, and administrators posted by the Arizona Department of Education fully embraces the belief in “persistent racial biases in our society,” going so far as to demand of parents that they instill “antiracist attitudes and actions” from birth so their children don’t “absorb bias” from the world.

Sainted Irish Mother remains in a touch and go state.
The riot occurred after a pro-Trump mob overpowered Capitol police and stormed the Capitol building as Congress met to certify President Joe Biden’s victory. The bureau’s designation of the riot as domestic terrorism puts the perpetrators “on the same level as ISIS and homegrown violent extremists,” Wray said.
Nova Scotia’s police watchdog has cleared the two RCMP officers who shot at a fire hall in Onslow, N.S., during the hunt for an active gunman last April, saying the Mounties had reasonable grounds to believe a man outside the hall who was wearing a safety vest was the killer.
I never thought much of Kayleigh before she joined the White House, but she really became a rock star with how she handled the job of press secretary during the final year of the Trump administration and I’m sure she’ll do great on Fox News with her newfound celebrity.
Edmonton’s Al-Rashid Mosque began offering Muslim women self-defence lessons following the recent attacks. The classes are full.

Journalist and podcaster Angelo Isidorou was targeted by the cancel mob over a four year-old photo of him wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat and flashing an “OK” sign. Isidorou sat down with True North’s Andrew Lawton to talk about how he’s pushing back against the mob both legally and culturally.
A Gallup survey published last week reveals that LGBT identification among Americans has grown, increasing to 5.6 percent of the population from 4.5 percent in Gallup’s previous update in 2017.
But LGBT identification across groups is not constant, with liberals, young people, and women skewing more heavily towards LGBT identity.
I have been detained in a COVID jail.
It’s not a surprise to me — we knew that Trudeau was doing this to innocent Canadians, even though the CBC lied and said that it was a conspiracy. I entered the belly of the beast to document firsthand what it is like in these facilities.
Allegedly, people were being assaulted, denied water and all-around treated like animals. It seems like the situation is more dire out east, but where I am it is no cakewalk either.
