Covering for the Biden family by trying to suppress rather than report on The Post’s scoops may prove expensive for a host of US media institutions — especially the privileged social-media companies.
A majority of voters say the media intentionally buried The Post’s October bombshell about Hunter Biden’s laptop to help his father Joe Biden’s political campaign, a Rasmussen Reports poll showed Tuesday.
As the end of the year approaches, we must reluctantly acknowledge that it has been a year of unimaginable triumph for America’s only serious rival, the People’s Republic of China. We will probably never know exactly how the coronavirus originated, and there appears to be a plausible scientific consensus that it was not deliberately and artificially created in the Wuhan viral laboratory, but it does seem likely that it originated there, rather than in the live-animal market of that city. In any case, there can be no possible doubt that once the Chinese government became aware of the virus, it took draconian measures, even by totalitarian standards, to contain and suppress it within China, and did absolutely nothing to prevent its spread out of China to the four corners of the world. The government of the People’s Republic, as is its frequent habit, went to very great lengths to disguise the extent of the virus in China, and the published official number of fatalities is a ludicrous underestimate. There is news film of special Chinese police riveting and welding shut the doors of homes and buildings to contain people at the height of the pandemic in that country, and there are many credible reports of special crematoria to dispose of the corpses of the very numerous victims.
Seattle City Councilmember Lisa Herbold called the police department she defunded to report a crime she suffered that would be effectively legalized under her proposal. Good thing she didn’t wait until after she passes her bill to report the incident.
Under Herbold’s proposal, most misdemeanor suspects would get a pass for crimes committed to meet a basic need. It’s essentially a poverty defense. But it goes deeper than that.
Information about Canada’s winter survival military training with China has been in the public sphere for some years but only drew heightened attention after recent media coverage.
A February 2018 tweet by the Canadian Army shows Canadian soldiers participating in winter training in China with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and Canada extending an invitation to China to take part in the same training in Petawawa, Ont., at a future date. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said during question period on Dec. 10 that the engagement was part of a cooperation initiative signed with China back in 2013.
Ontario set a new record for COVID-19 cases detected for the second time this week, with 2,432 new infections, as 23 more deaths were reported and intensive care unit occupancy and ventilator use continued to rise.
“Locally, there are 737 new cases in Toronto, 434 in Peel, 209 in York Region, 190 in Windsor-Essex County and 142 in Hamilton,” Health Minister Christine Elliott wrote on Twitter.

The Chinese tech company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd offered facial recognition software to clients which can identify the face of a Uighur person, according to a report.
The US-based surveillance industry research firm IPVM said on Thursday it had found the detection technology in Alibaba’s Cloud Shield service, which offers content moderation for websites.
The technology could be used to identify videos filmed and uploaded by a Uighur person, flagging them for authorities to respond to or take down.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says one of the top priorities for the next commander of the Canadian Armed Forces will be tackling systemic racism and rooting extremism from the ranks.
The comments are the first from the prime minister since Gen. Jonathan Vance announced in July that he was preparing to step down after more than five years as Canada’s chief of the defence staff.
This feels a lot like Obama's office of the CVE, which Trump ended. The idea was to relabel patriots as extremists, and people ready to fight for country as Violent Extremists to be Countered.https://t.co/bJAwIO4Syt

This has nothing to do with racism but it does outline the extremist views of the Lib-Left and their determined effort to degrade Canada’s military and destroy it as an institution.
Quick, without using Google, name the superintendent of Financial Institutions. Can you do it? Could you name the president of the Public Service Commission?
You should know their names because they are among the most important public servants in Canada, among the 53 bureaucrats in Ottawa given a full-time car and driver. That’s right, they and many others, have a chauffeur on standby to shuttle them around Ottawa.
We are ruled over not governed by a corrupt, entitled permanent political class.
An esteemed engineering professor in Montreal says suggestions he has a parallel, full-time academic career in his native China are “absolute nonsense,” the product of misleading articles there that exaggerated his involvement in the country.
Ke Wu of Polytechnique Montreal said he has been at times a visiting professor at three universities in China and did a sabbatical at one of them, but said those are “very conventional” academic collaborations that “contribute to Canadian well-being.”
The country’s spy agency is warning companies in the vaccine supply chain that malicious foreign actors could threaten the largest inoculation program in Canadian history — by targeting their workers, among other tactics.
Just prior to the arrival of hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses in Canada, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) recently offered a briefing to industry players about the emerging threat.
One of the people taking part in that briefing was Pina Melchionna, president of the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation. The non-profit association helps Canadian companies manage delivery logistics.
Sounds like Justin’s China boys.
The New England Journal of Medicine continues its hard swing toward wokeness. Now, it has published an advocacy article that would remove sex designation as an identifiable factor on birth certificates.
Last week, the Canadian government refused to tell the public whether it had granted legal immunity to COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers. Health Canada said it couldn’t release “details of its contracts due to confidentiality clauses.”
On Monday, this changed. A cabinet minister has now acknowledged that pharmaceutical companies will be protected from lawsuits in the event that Canadians are harmed.
Writer Noah Berlatsky united typically warring political factions on social media on Monday after suggesting on Twitter that “parents” are, as a whole, an “oppressive” class, who commit atrocious acts of abuse on the level of economic repression and racism.
Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan suggested that Biden’s proposed policies are contributing to the chaos at the border, saying, “cartels and human smugglers are fueling perceptions that our borders will once again be wide open, and that we will be reinstating the loopholes that have been closed.”
Twitter has confirmed that following President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration next month, President Donald Trump will no longer receive the special protections he currently enjoys on the platform, and could in fact be banned.
Could? Could? More like “Will” and as quickly as possible.
