Finally, a Republican leader declares war on Big Tech
A Republican leader has decided to take on Big Tech. It’s high time. While other Republican legislators complain and pontificate about Twitter, Facebook and Google’s interference in our elections and censoring of conservative voices, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared war on the tech giants.
A brief look at the seven vaccines Canada has pre-ordered

AOC, a Sitting Member of Congress, Weaponized Her Followers in an Attempt to Silence a Free Press
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been all over the news this week following a lengthy Instagram live in which she recounted her experiences during the January 6 riots in Washington, DC. She posted the video to her YouTube channel with the title “February 1, 2021 Instagram Live: What Happened at the Capitol.”
Canada doesn’t know how many more Moderna doses will be delivered, or why there are delays
Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military commander leading vaccine logistics at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), said today Canada doesn’t know how many Moderna doses will arrive in the weeks ahead and the company hasn’t said why it has reduced shipments to our country.
Speaking to reporters at a public health briefing, Fortin said 180,000 Moderna doses arrived this morning but the government has no “visibility” on how many more shots will be delivered this month and next.
CNN: Consider Masks ‘Your New Best Friend’ to ‘Cherish and Appreciate for a Good, Long Time’
CNN is attempting to cozy up Americans to the idea of masks sticking around for the long run, likening them in an article Wednesday to a best friend whom people “cherish and appreciate for a good, long time.” The piece addresses questions individuals who receive a vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus will likely ask.

Day urges more politicians to speak out against secret airport detentions
In a tweet, Day noted only Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has voiced any form of discomfort with the detentions, that have happened in at least Calgary and Toronto.
Matt Gurney: If Trudeau actually has a vaccine strategy now would be a good time to share it
Let’s start by acknowledging something that may seem unlikely, even impossible, today: it’s still possible that the federal government’s vaccine procurement strategy is going to work out just fine.
Adam: Now’s the time for Canadians to debate whether we even need a governor general
The United Kingdom just left the European Union because it wanted to exercise its right as a sovereign nation. Surely Canada can follow the same principle and leave the monarchy behind.
Rantz: Seattle Public Schools teaching radical BLM, anti-police lessons to K-5 students
Seattle Public Schools will spend the week promoting Black Lives Matter lesson plans to students. Teachers have the green light to editorialize the content to their captive students.
Educators are told that no matter their student’s age, “they’re not too young to talk about race.” In fact, “silence about race reinforces racism.” They’re even warned that “treating everyone the same may be unintentionally oppressive.”
Tragic First-Person Accounts of the Effects of COVID-19 School Closures on Children
For reasons unknown, there are still raging debates over whether or not to reopen schools. Simultaneously, schools in states like Georgia and Florida have been open since the fall and managed to keep the children whose parents want them to attend school in person open most of the time. Where they have not been prohibited, private schools opened nationwide. Multiple studies in the U.S. have shown that transmission of COVID-19 is minimal in the school setting, supported by data across the globe.
Bill requiring sex education to begin with kindergarten to be filed in Illinois Legislature
If passed into law, the Responsible Education for Adolescent and Children’s Health, or REACH Act would start sex ed in kindergarten through second grade with lessons on personal safety and respecting others. Grades 3-5 would cover anatomy, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Grades 6-12 would build upon that and include benefits of abstinence, birth control and prevention of STDs.
A San Francisco Murder Sets Leftists and Social Interest Groups at Odds
On January 28, while attempting to take a photo of a suspicious vehicle cruising in front of his San Francisco home, 76-year-old private investigator Jack Palladino was grabbed by one of the two men in the car and dragged forty feet before falling over backward and lethally striking his head.
Not since the Zebra killings of the 1970s has one murder caused San Francisco’s leftist worthies so much consternation. If you do not know of the Zebra killers, there is a reason why. The killers were black. All 21 of their victims, 14 fatal, were white or Asian. The Zodiac killer worked the same area at roughly the same time, killed far fewer people, and got ten times the attention.
What America can learn from Russia
Spiralling addiction, inequality and an oligarch class can pave the way for authoritarianism
An elite openly contemptuous of the poor. Millions of people living in towns where traditional industries (and the measure of security they provided) have vanished. Spiralling addiction. A class of super wealthy oligarchs, much too close to the government, exercising way more power than they ought to. All major communications channels controlled by a tiny coterie of billionaires.
Science Betrayed: The propaganda infecting K–12 science curricula, especially on the environment, won’t go away.
It is a sad irony that the teaching of science in American schools is so unscientific. In a more rational world, children would learn about nature and a mode of inquiry—the scientific method—that would awaken them to the awe, fascination, and surprise that the universe should inspire. Instead, the chronic problems afflicting K–12 education and the growing politicization of science have pushed us ever further from that ideal.
Critical Race Theory is How Democrats Plan to Win Elections … And that’s where a new Republican civil rights movement must rise.
Liberal critics of critical race theory often act as if it’s a mysterious cult that emerged out of nowhere, while its conservative critics tie it to a history of academic Marxism. That’s true, but doesn’t explain why it has suddenly become so pervasively established in our culture.
Politics can be downstream of culture, but political culture is downstream of politics.
