Journalists openly celebrated the end of former President Donald Trump’s time in office and spent considerable efforts praising Biden and his new administration. Sullivan wrote on Thursday that the “return to norms” due to a less-contentious president is “potentially dangerous” for the future of journalism.
Well someone won’t be employed tomorrow.

Here’s Manitoba Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Brent Roussin just causally explaining that they’ve exempted all levels of government from their own draconian health orders with the most what’s-the-big-deal energy you’ve ever seen.
President Joe Biden wasted no time after Wednesday’s inaugural ceremonies before getting to work. He signed 17 executive orders and memorandums—by far the most in history on a president’s first day—one of which halted construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which would have carried crude oil from Canada through the US.
Some of the youngest students returning to classes today in Anchorage will enter a dystopian classroom world, where they must kneel for hours on end on the floor while masked, and have no recess or art or physical expression.
Sounds like Islam.

The New York Times and other elite media outlets have openly embraced advocacy over reporting.
Traditional newspapers never sold news; they sold an audience to advertisers. To a considerable degree, this commercial imperative determined the journalistic style, with its impersonal voice and pretense of objectivity. The aim was to herd the audience into a passive consumerist mass. Opinion, which divided readers, was treated like a volatile substance and fenced off from “factual” reporting.
Antifa, the mythical group invented by right-wingers for reasons unknown, peacefully rioted in Seattle and Portland. Though they posted flyers on social media saying they would turn violent, some were caught off-guard.
Joe Biden’s America, am I right?

Twitter refused to take down widely shared pornographic images and videos of a teenage sex trafficking victim because an investigation “didn’t find a violation” of the company’s “policies,” a scathing lawsuit alleges.
The federal suit, filed Wednesday by the victim and his mother in the Northern District of California, alleges Twitter made money off the clips, which showed a 13-year-old engaged in sex acts and are a form of child sexual abuse material, or child porn, the suit states.
The detailed results of an asymptomatic testing pilot project conducted in Toronto public schools revealed that there is little undetected spread of COVID-19 occurring within classrooms and that parent-family positivity rates are much higher than that of students.
Rather, the previously unreported chart obtained by the Toronto Sun appears to confirm what public health officials have maintained — that infections in schools reflect a trickle down of cases from what’s occurring in the broader community.
Actor Ben Affleck once explained why he found it difficult to watch Republican actors on screen. “It’s … hard,” explained Affleck, “to get people to suspend disbelief. … When I watch a guy I know is a big Republican, part of me thinks, I probably wouldn’t like this person if I met him, or we would have different opinions. That (expletive) fogs the mind when you should be paying attention and be swept into the illusion.”
Hollywood will fragment. First slowly then all at once.
The government of Pakistan recently threatened two American Muslims with prison sentences of up to ten years if they did not take down a U.S.-based “blasphemous” website — a threat one of those targeted told Breitbart News on Tuesday represented “an unprecedented and entirely new frontier of digital policing that Pakistan is trying to impose.”
The website in question — TrueIslam.com — is the online home of the American Ahmadiyya Muslim community, run by an American group, hosted in the United States, and represented by American citizens.
They shouldn’t worry, Justin has Khan in his pocket! He’ll handle Khan just like he does Biden & Xi.
More than 200,000 Canadian businesses could close permanently during the COVID-19 crisis, throwing millions of people out of work as the resurgence of the virus worsens across much of the country, according to new research.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business said Thursday one in six, or about 181,000, Canadian small business owners are now seriously contemplating shutting down.
The latest figures, based on a survey of its members done between Jan. 12 and 16, come on top of 58,000 businesses that became inactive in 2020.
Gov.-Gen. Julie Payette and her secretary, Assunta di Lorenzo, are resigning after an outside workplace review of Rideau Hall found that the pair presided over a toxic work environment.
Last year, an independent consulting firm was hired by the Prime Minister’s Office to review reports that Payette was responsible for workplace harassment and creating a toxic culture at Rideau Hall.
Sources who were briefed on the report told CBC News that its conclusions were damning.

The high-profile review into allegations of a “toxic” workplace at Rideau Hall is now complete.
And sources tell Global News that results offer what they called a “scathing” portrait of Gov. Gen. Julie Payette.
Everything Justin touches turns to shit.
US President Joe Biden has cancelled permits for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.
The pipeline had been projected to carry oil nearly 1,200 miles (1,900km) from the Canadian province of Alberta down to Nebraska, to join an existing pipeline.
Environmentalists and Native American groups have fought the project for more than a decade.
Development of the pipeline was blocked by the Obama administration in 2015, but President Trump overturned that order and allowed it go ahead.
