Biden Begins Unraveling Middle East Peace

Biden Begins Unraveling Middle East Peace

He continues to undo the Trump administration’s historic achievements.

The Biden administration, should it play its cards right, could capitalize on the momentum of the Trump administration’s Abraham Accords to gain further diplomatic wins for Middle East peace. The Trump administration departed very close to clinching normalization deals between Israel and Mauritania and Israel and Indonesia, and had made significant progress on the Israel–Oman and Israel–Saudi Arabia tracks as well. So normalization agreements between Israel and these four countries seem reasonable goals for the Biden administration.

GameStop and the Truth Wars

The war to redefine reality has spread from politics to finance.

Who knows exactly when the “truth wars” started, but we can be sure that they have reached a crescendo. In a recent essay, historian Timothy Snyder argued that truth is under attack in America. If it succumbs, he argues, fascism will follow because, without truth to adjudicate disputes, only force remains. Never mind that actually existing fascism was a theory of political truth, and that dictators such as Mussolini and Hitler saw themselves as foes of liberal relativism. Snyder has a point. Americans are engaged in a protracted conflict to determine what they should collectively hold as true, and they are failing in the quest.

Andy Ngo Unmasks Antifa in New Book and Warns: ‘Antifa Lives and Thrives Only if America Dies.’

Antifa is the muscle, the Southern Poverty Law Center and other non-profits help pick the targets, and anyone who points out their totalitarian intolerance is called a fascist, promptly canceled, or burned in effigy. That’s the crazy Leftist triangulation playing out these days on the streets of Portland and in many other riot-prone American cities. Journalist Andy Ngo knows this all too well.

Russia: Putin Shoots Himself in the Foot

Russia: Putin Shoots Himself in the Foot

Aleksei Navalny, opposition leader, anti-corruption activist and fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, returned to Russia on January 17 after recovering for five months in Germany from having been poisoned with a military grade nerve agent, Novichok. It was an event widely reported to have been an assassination attempt by Russian state agents.

Upon landing, Navalny was immediately arrested on charges that he had violated the parole terms from a suspended sentence received in 2014 for alleged fraud, a conviction that the European Court of Human Rights ruled was “arbitrary and manifestly unreasonable”.

Poland’s Freedom Act Will Empower Public to Overturn Big Tech Shadowbans

Poland’s new Freedom Act against Big Tech censorship will see members of the public automatically notified of “shadowbans” and empowered to overturn restrictions if their speech online is lawful.

Speaking exclusively to Breitbart News, Deputy Minister of Justice Sebastian Kaleta, who is spearheading the new legislation, confirmed that “every time an algorithm is used to limit reach, the user will be informed if and why his reach is being limited.”

Scores of former Bush officials leaving GOP because party won’t repudiate Trump, threaten to never come back! … So?

Scores of former Bush officials leaving GOP because party won’t repudiate Trump, threaten to never come back! … So?

Officials associated with the administration of President George W. Bush say they are abandoning the Republican Party because of its refusal to repudiate former President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.

At least 60 former Bush administration officials are said to be upset with elected members of the party who won’t or don’t agree with the narrative that Trump’s claims of election fraud sparked the riot, which is being characterized by Democrats and some Republicans as an “insurrection.”

GOLDSTEIN: Pandemic spending doubles government debt to $2 trillion, says report

Pandemic spending this year is expected to hike Canada’s combined federal and provincial debt to $2 trillion, double the $1 trillion debt in 2007-08, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

The figures, adjusted for inflation, mean that in the current fiscal year, Canada’ combined debt will equal 91.6% of the annual output of the Canadian economy, up from 65.2% last year.

Acronyms are ‘symptoms of white supremacy’, says San Francisco public schools’ art dept, after dropping its abbreviation

The San Francisco Unified School District Arts Department has decided to abandon its acronym, apparently in a bid to end racism – but many Twitter users have failed to appreciate this historic step forward for equality.

Formerly known as ‘VAPA’, short for ‘Visual and Performing Arts’, the department announced that going forward it would be referred to as the SFUSD Arts Department because “acronyms are a symptom of white supremacy culture,” a local ABC affiliate reported.

The name change is a “simple step” that can be taken to ensure families from all backgrounds “better understand who we are,” explained the department’s director, Sam Bass.

Laurentian University, key school for northern Ontario, files for creditor protection

Laurentian University has filed for creditor protection amid what its president calls “unprecedented financial challenges.”

Laurentian’s financial health “is currently amongst the weakest in the province compared to other universities,” Robert Haché, president and vice-chancellor of the Sudbury, Ont.-based school, said in a statement on Monday

“Despite our best efforts over the last year, Laurentian is insolvent.”

I can’t say I’m familiar with Laurentian. What sort of degree programs did they offer? Was it a self-inflicted wound? High administration fees mainly comprised of bureaucratic bloat, impossibly generous salary, retirement and benefit programs have doomed many US colleges. How many useless diversity poobahs does Laurentian have? Has it occurred to anyone that some institutions of alleged “higher learning” deserve to wither and die?

Wuhan or Wu-Tang? Canadian diplomat’s T-shirt “Bat” logo angers Communist Slave State China

BEIJING — Canada said it regretted a “misunderstanding” after China lodged a formal complaint over a diplomat’s order of a custom T-shirt displaying the word Wuhan, the city where the COVID-19 pandemic first emerged, over the emblem of hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan.

The logo of the American group is a stylized “W.” Reports of the T-shirt order circulating on China’s Twitter-like Weibo described it as depicting a bat, without mentioning Wu-Tang Clan. Many scientists suspect bats to have been a reservoir for COVID-19 before it jumped to humans.

Denmark: “Our Goal is Zero Asylum Seekers”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has announced that her government intends to significantly limit the number of people seeking asylum in Denmark. The aim, she said, is to preserve “social cohesion” in the country.

Frederiksen’s comments, which many have welcomed, and others have dismissed as empty promises, are the latest salvo in a long-running debate about multiculturalism and the role of Islam in Danish society.

Without Trump To Obsess Over, Liberals Eat Their Own, Never Trumpers Are Exposed, And Media Throws Their Own Hero Under The Bus

Let me start with the “make liberals head explode” sentence before detailing proof of my assertion: “President Donald J. Trump was right.”

In just the first two weeks without Donald Trump to attack, lie about, misrepresent or selectively edit quotes from, we are seeing the media search for someone to attack, even if it is their “Emmy winning” hero, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Liberal late night comedians, having lost Trump to whine about for the majority of their shows, are now attacking each other.

Never Trumpers have gone from being the liberal/media darlings to hammer conservatives with, by claiming they are true “conservatives” against Trump, to scandal ridden, with a notable group The Lincoln Project busy tripping over themselves to disassociate themselves with one of their co-founders accused of being a gay sexual predator.

The media and liberals are also tossing each other under the bus over Biden’s broken promise of immediate COVID relief checks.

If this is them after less than two solid weeks of not having Trump in the White House to obsess over, one can only imagine how bad it is truly going to get.
