The discovery of a pipe bomb outside the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington on Jan. 6 prompted police to evacuate two congressional buildings, not, as was believed, the attack on the U.S. Capitol, senators heard Tuesday.

INSUFFERABLE: Springsteen & Barack Obama On the Same Podcast Together?!
What is it with the entertainment industry giving radio and podcast gigs to people who should have shut up years ago? In what is probably another sign of the apocalypse, two of the more insufferable lefties in American history are teaming up for one podcast series.
Wow! I can’t wait to miss this!

50% of Canadians want Ottawa to partner with allies over the UN: poll
A new poll by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute found that Canadians want Ottawa to more closely partner with allied democracies instead of international organizations like the UN when it comes to foreign policy issues like dealing with China.
Following Passage Of Motion, China Uses Trudeau’s Accusation Of Canadian Genocide Against Our Country
Who is surprised that accusing your own country of genocide while being unwilling to say the same about an authoritarian state would turn out badly?
In defence of snowbirds: Canada’s quarantine hotel policy is a mess
Aside from pissing off fair-weather Canadians, the policy seems to do very little to actually protect us from COVID-19.
Report: Biden Team Members Including John Kerry Colluded With Iran to Undermine Trump
If ever anyone should have been looked into for a Logan violation, it was folks formerly in the Obama administration who were negotiating with Iran to try to preserve the Iran Deal in direct contravention of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy endeavors.
House Democrats, Targeting Right-Wing Cable Outlets, Are Assaulting Core Press Freedoms
Democrats’ justification for silencing their adversaries online and in media — “they are spreading fake news and inciting extremism” — is what despots everywhere say.
North Dakota House passes bill banning mandatory face masks
The North Dakota House of Representatives passed a bill that would prevent rules requiring face masks, a mandate one lawmaker ripped as “diabolical silliness.”
A picture from Iwo Jima
It’s February. The star-spangled kneelers of the NFL have given way to their imitators in the NBA, and soon some millionaire dugout squatters of baseball will be adding their insults to the flag they hate.
Today is February 23, an otherwise unremarkable day in history. The first Gutenberg Bible was printed, the first Salk polio vaccine shot administered, and Mississippi was allowed back in the Union. But nothing worth a holiday or a greeting card.
Biden’s Equality Act is not the unifying issue he thinks it is
President Joe Biden has announced that he will move ahead with a proposed Equality Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. A decision celebrated by Liberal America, it will be the first such legislation to be implemented at US federal level. Campaigners argue this is necessary in a nation where, in many states, it’s still legal to refuse housing or services to someone on the basis of being gay or trans. But the legislation comes with a sting in the tail for women, which may prove unexpectedly costly to the Democrats.
Iran stops sharing nuclear site footage as uranium stockpile grows
Iran said on Tuesday it would stop handing over footage of nuclear sites to the UN’s nuclear watchdog in response to a US refusal so far to lift sanctions imposed by former President Donald Trump.
Iran’s move underlines the task facing US President Joe Biden as he tries to reverse Trump’s decision to withdraw from a historic 2015 deal.
John Kerry never got out of bed with Iran
He kept up a bromance with Javad Zarif during the entire Trump administration
Failed former Secretary of State John Kerry spent so much time wooing Iran Foreign Minister Javad Zarif during the Obama administration that people started talking.
After years of public canoodling, romantic garden strolls and secret pallets of cold, hard American cash sent under the cover of night, Monsieur Kerry never could get Mr. Zarif and the Iranians to kick their habit of bankrolling terrorism around the globe.
Al Jazeera Launches Site To Woo Conservatives
When the Islamic terror state of Qatar directed its Al Jazeera international propaganda machine at America, it naturally veered toward targeting the treasonous Left. During the War on Terror and the Bush era, lefties were the obvious demographic who were likeliest to be receptive to Qatar’s propaganda.
Qatar is the funder behind the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups, it’s an ally of Iran and its royal family has links to September 11.
‘Divisive and offensive’ race theory training forced on San Diego County healthcare workers
Government employees in San Diego County are being forced to undergo lectures that claim only white people can be racist, according to an employee who says the training is taking away from their efforts to battle COVID-19 and a homelessness epidemic.
The Health & Human Services Agency required employees to spend six hours watching the online racism course, a training participant told the Washington Examiner. Critical Race Theory classes taught participants “Racism is a WHITE” problem, and, “Only white people can be racist.” The title of the course is ‘Power and Privilege.’
60 Years After Eisenhower’s Warning, Distinct Signs of a ‘Digital-Intelligence Complex
In June 2019, Susan Gordon stood on a stage at the Washington Convention Center. Behind her loomed three giant letters, “AWS,” the abbreviation for Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing division of the giant Internet retailer. After three decades at the Central Intelligence Agency, Gordon had risen to one of the top jobs in the cloak-and-dagger world: principal deputy director of national intelligence. From that perch she publicly extolled the virtues of Amazon Web Services and the cloud services the tech giant provides the CIA.
Jonathan Kay: Imported U.S. culture war about as Canadian as the Dallas Cowboys
You’ve probably never heard of The Sketchersons, a Toronto-based comedy sketch troupe that’s been around since 2004. But obscure though the topic may seem, please indulge me as I step you through the group’s recent meltdown, for it offers an unusually fine case study in the social panic afflicting Canada’s creative class.
Do We Have the Courage of this Jailed Canadian Pastor Who Refuses to Be Silent?
Not long after Jesus was crucified and buried, two of his disciples, Peter and John, were jailed by the Jerusalem authorities for telling people that He had been resurrected from the dead after three days in the tomb, that He had talked multiple times with the disciples, and that He had ascended to Heaven.

Where do you fit on the whiteness graph?
Are you white? If so, how white are you? Or to put it another way, where would you place your ‘whiteness’ on a scale of one to eight? This might seem like an odd question for those who still see whiteness as mere skin pigmentation. For many progressives however the term has come to mean a form of bigotry inherent in, but not exclusive to, white people. In other words, you don’t have to be white to suffer from the affliction of ‘whiteness’ but it certainly helps.
