The lawsuit alleges that Trump and the others “conspired to incite an assembled crowd to march upon and enter the Capitol of the United States for the common purpose of disrupting” the counting of Electoral College votes on Jan. 6—the day that thousands of Trump supporters laid siege to the U.S. Capitol Complex following a speech by the 45th president at the White House Ellipse.
Many gun-control advocates have pressed for a national handgun ban, warning that leaving it up to municipalities would create an ineffective patchwork of regulations.
As expected, the long-promised bill also proposes a buyback of a wide array of recently banned firearms the government considers assault-style weapons.
“I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time,” Gates said during an interview with MIT Technology Review. “Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.”
The federal Liberal government tabled its long-awaited firearms bill today, including red flag confiscation powers, the possibility for municipal handgun bans and new rules for possession of the 1,500 firearm variants the government banned last May.
Few events in history have contributed more to shaping Black Canadian collective consciousness than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s blackface incident and the killing of George Floyd.
Calls for the 2022 Olympics to be moved or boycotted due to the mass-interment of China’s Uyghur minority has increased in recent months. Evidence of forced labour and mass-sexual violence recently lead the United States to declare the situation to be a genocide.
On February 12, the first lady posted a pic to Twitter of her latest secret errand to pick up some “Valentine’s treats” from The Sweet Lobby, a Black-owned bakery in Washington, D.C. “Dropped by @TheSweetLobby earlier to pick up some Valentine’s treats for the weekend,” Biden tweeted. “Shhh – don’t tell Joe!”
Insanity Wrap needs to know: When Joe Biden endorsed “commonsense gun law reforms,” what did he really mean?
Answer: The most radical set of eliminations, restrictions, fees, and punishments ever even considered in American history.
We have gone from 15 days to slow the spread to 333 days with COVID still active, along with new strains. We went from only those most vulnerable should wear masks in March, to we’re masking up until 2022 to “save lives”. Candidate Biden blamed Trump for COVID deaths and poor response to the pandemic, and said he would work to create a plan to end the pandemic. Apparently plans to end the pandemic have been put on pause, if not given up altogether. What we have is forever pandemic language, with its symbol being normalizing Mask wearing—and maybe wearing several.
Is there any low where Hollywood won’t really go?
They’re now exploiting 16-year-old Claudia Conway, daughter of Kellyanne Conway and George Conway, for television ratings and big bucks.
Like the Russia hoax, impeachment was a false pretext for a national security emergency.
The Democrat impeachment case against President Trump began with the false claim that “President Trump incited a violent mob to attack the United States Capitol during the Joint Session” and concluded with the false claim that he had engaged in “insurrection or rebellion.”
In between these two false claims lay a multitude of lies, misstatements of law, exaggerations of events, false conclusions, and fundamental attacks on our entire political system.
Governors of boarding schools are supposed to be custodians, not political activists
As an alumnus of Rugby School, I sometimes take a look at its website to receive updates and news. The kind of thing that piques my interest is seeing which members of staff have left or retired, or reading a news update about plans to construct a new facility.
Yet on my most recent visit I was dismayed to see a “Statement from the Board on Black Lives Matter” emblazoned on the front page. After expressing their “deep sadness” over the death of George Floyd, the Governors wax lyrical about widespread racial injustice before promising to launch a “significant research project into the relationship between our own institutional history and race, including re-assessing the role of [Old Rugbeans] in Britain’s complex history.”
Its hypocritical attempts to clamp down on ‘misinformation’ are ultimately self-defeating
What do you do when your sources of information get corrupted? That is one of today’s great questions, as UnHerd discovered this week. On Wednesday, Facebook censored an article on these pages which was critical of the World Health Organisation, labelling it as “misinformation”. It was not UnHerd’s first run-in with the online censors, but it is perhaps the most baffling.
PARIS — More than three dozen French police officers descended on a small private school in Paris, blocked the 92 students inside their classrooms, took photos everywhere even inside the refrigerator, and grilled the school director.
“It was like they were moving in on a drug deal,” Hanane Loukili, the director and co-founder of the MHS middle and high school said, recalling the Nov. 17 scene.
Loukili didn’t know it then, but a team from the Cell to Fight Radical Islam and Community Withdrawal, or CLIR, had arrived for an inspection. The dragnet sweeps schools, shops, clubs or mosques to rout out “radicalization.” Within a week, a shaken Loukili informed students their school was shutting down.
In a world where, sooner or later, everything is racialised, it was only a matter of time before classical music became a target of the crusade against whiteness. So I wasn’t particularly shocked when I read this headline in the New York Times: ‘Obscure Musicology Journal Sparks Battles over Race and Free Speech.’
In lots of places, people feel like second-class citizens in their own country. The defining characteristic of many Third-World societies and all totalitarianisms is that a tiny elite, whether called the party members or oligarchs who call the shots. Generally speaking, only the democratic West was the exception to this rule. The U.S. long avoided the aristocrat/peasant split through growth in middle- and lower-class income. But beginning with Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama, depending on what economist you believe, this income growth stopped and trends started splitting America into two halves.
A Hamas-run Islamic court in the Gaza Strip has ruled that women require the permission of a male guardian to travel, further restricting movement in and out of the territory that has been blockaded by Israel and Egypt since the militant group seized power.
The rollback in women’s rights could spark a backlash in Gaza at a time when the Palestinians plan to hold elections later this year. It could also solidify Hamas’s support among its conservative base at a time when it faces criticism over living conditions in the territory it has ruled since 2007.
A New York City public school sent out a graphic to parents encouraging them to become “white traitors” and “white abolitionists.”
According to Christopher Rufo, a writer at City Journal dedicated to covering “critical race theory,” the principal of East Side Community School in New York sent out a graphic detailing the eight types of “whiteness.” The graphic shows a scale of “white identities” ranging from good to bad. Good is considered being a “white abolitionist” and bad is considered being a “white supremacist.”
The pharmaceutical industry, government health authorities, and the media insist the new vaccines are safe and effective. While the initial results are promising, this is not the whole truth. Both honesty and acknowledging ignorance require answering a few questions.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson railed against unreliable green energy sources and the Democrats who are pushing them after wind turbines in Texas froze Monday during a winter storm that proved deadly amid power massive outages.
A polar vortex began gripping the South and Midwest on Sunday, leaving states with normally mild winters, such as Texas, unprepared. Thanks to the Lone Star State’s decision to rely on wind farms for a substantial amount of its energy, Texas is now a model for why green energy sources are not yet a realistic solution.
