I am writing this column upon returning home to California after five days in Florida. For the first time since my first trip to Los Angeles in 1974 and moving there two years later, I dreaded going to California.
‘Women’ or ‘vagina owners’? Teen Vogue’s publication of ‘masturbation guide’ mocked for advances in woke linguistics
Teen Vogue has rolled out an ultra-inclusive anatomically-based new category of person in its never-ending bid to avoid offending anyone, and social media users are rolling in the aisles at the result. Behold “vagina owners.”
Lockdowns Could Be 10 Times More Costly to Public Health Than No Lockdowns: Study
A recent report that reviewed the cost-benefit balance of lockdowns, widely imposed by governments around the world to prevent the spread of the CCP virus, said the restrictions do more harm to public health quality than no restrictions.
They Don’t Have Trump to Kick Around Anymore
Biden and his gang of retreads from the largely unsuccessful Obama-Biden Administration aren’t running against Trump anymore. So now what?
There is substantial danger that the approaching Biden Administration will enter office determined to execute a 180-degree policy course change in almost every field, partly out of the spiteful and irrational antagonism that swiftly arose in opposition to Donald Trump, and partly from the perversity, obsolescence, and reactionary contrariety of current Democratic policy thinking.
That’s a Lot of People Who Think the 2020 Election was Stolen in Some Way
The 2020 election is over. Joe Biden came out on top, but allegations of voter fraud remain. We have witness statements, affidavits, and allegations of other funny business that involved the mail-in voting process. There’s a reason why Europe has banned mail-in voting; fraud is likely. At the very least, it presents itself with the opportunity and we all know Democrats would certainly take it.
Why Biden won’t stand up to the Chinese menace
THE first half of 2020 clarified China’s malign diplomacy. The second half clarified China’s espionage. The trouble is: the US Democratic Party is most exposed, so is reluctant to shift from deference. Much will depend on how the conservative minority in journalism and Congress can leverage the latest revelations.
In June, the US National Security Adviser (Robert C O’Brien) launched a series of cross-departmental revelations: ‘The [Chinese Communist] Party is collecting your most intimate data – your words, your actions, your purchases, your whereabouts, your health records, your social media posts, your texts, and mapping your network of friends, family, and acquaintances.’ The collectors include state-subsidised telecoms, computer hardware and software, and medical services such as Huawei servers and genetic tests.
GOLDSTEIN: Toronto’s gun violence roared through the pandemic
Not even a pandemic and lockdowns could significantly dent gang and gun violence in Toronto this year, which has already recorded more shootings than in any year in the modern era, except for 2019.
As of Sunday, Dec. 20, there have been 455 shootings and firearms discharges.

Howard Anglin: The smear campaign that took down a promising politician
Anyone concerned about the polarization of our political discourse should be rooting for Caylan Ford
What happened to Caylan Ford 20 months ago, when she was running as a candidate for the United Conservative Party in Alberta, should terrify anyone thinking of running for public office. What has happened to her since should worry the rest of us.
Now, she is finally fighting back. After her candidacy was ended by false accusations that she is racist and a “white supremacist,” she’s suing those she says defamed her, including the Alberta NDP, the CBC and the Toronto Star. Anyone concerned about the polarization of our political discourse should be rooting for her.
IBM, 3M, PepsiCo Among Leading US Firms That House Chinese Communist Party Units: Leaked Database
Hundreds of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members are embedded within the Chinese divisions of major U.S. corporations, from IBM to PepsiCo to 3M, a leaked CCP-member database revealed.
The existence of Party units within foreign companies in China is hardly surprising, given that the regime mandates any organization with at least three CCP members to form a Party branch. But the 1.95 million CCP member list, which includes names, levels of education, ethnicity, and the Party branches they belong to, was to date the biggest revelation on the scale of the CCP’s influence on international companies.
The Era of Biotechnology, Mass Surveillance, and Government Control
The world is arguably experiencing the first biowar in history. This is not to say that any country deliberately manufactured covid or released bioweapons, but as recent reporting from the New York Times shows, the Chinese government tried to exploit it politically, perhaps calculating that a pandemic would hurt more complex economies than simpler ones. A great power competition has crossed over into the biology of the planet.
Covid: Wuhan scientist would ‘welcome’ visit probing lab leak theory
A Chinese scientist at the centre of unsubstantiated claims that the coronavirus leaked from her laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan has told the BBC she is open to “any kind of visit” to rule it out. The surprise statement from Prof Shi Zhengli comes as a World Health Organization team prepares to travel to Wuhan next month to begin its investigation into the origins of Covid-19.
The remote district of Tongguan, in China’s south-western province of Yunnan, is hard to reach at the best of times. But when a BBC team tried to visit recently, it was impossible.
