Progressives, including most members of the Democratic Socialist “Squad”, fired back at President Barack Obama Wednesday, torching the former leader over his comments deriding the far-left for advocating to “defund the police” — a slogan which Obama and other experts believe had a widespread, negative impact on Democrat success in down-ticket and statewide elections.
‘Clown World’: Danish Women’s Society in Hot Water Over Man-Beating Video Against Domestic Violence
The campaign from the Danish Women’s Society, which features footage of women hitting their men in the face and laughing about it, has been slammed for sexism. The organisation insisted that the message was that domestic violence was never acceptable and that it was completely misunderstood by the public.
Here’s The Danish Men's Council’s Facebook-post about it.
(Google Translate gives a quite good translation.)The headline goes something like:
”Dear Danish Women's Society. Does domestic violense only begin, when the man hits back?”https://t.co/1krJkiIxpD— Manderaadet (@manderaadet) November 28, 2020
Tsk tsk, such man haters!
Dominion-trained IT contractor tells state Senate panel she witnessed ‘complete fraud’ in Detroit
Melissa Carone, an IT worker contracted by Dominion Voting Systems, who worked at the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan, said Tuesday election workers were scanning the same ballots over and over, as many as eight to ten times.
Speaking at a Michigan Senate Oversight Committee hearing in Lansing, Carone also claimed election officials “were in on it.”
Arabs Warn Biden: Do Not Embolden Hezbollah
The Iran-backed Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon will be the first to celebrate if and when a Biden administration returns to the 2015 nuclear deal between the world superpowers and Iran.
Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, has called on Biden to give Iran more money and return to the nuclear deal. “Now, an opportunity has come up for the next US administration to compensate for past mistakes and return to the path of complying with international agreements through respect of international norms,” Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency quoted Rouhani as saying.
Musk: Electric Cars Will Require a Lot More Electric Power Than We Currently Have
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Tuesday that electricity consumption will double if the world’s car fleets are electrified, increasing the need to expand nuclear, solar, geothermal and wind energy generating sources.
Wind, Solar and Geo-thermal are non-viable as large scale sources of energy. Nuclear is the only solution but the environuts will block necessary construction.
That reveals the end game.
They don’t want you to have cars, they don’t want you to have the freedom of travel.
They want you as serfs in the yoke of eco-tyranny.
Charging the ‘Beatles’: Inside the case against ISIS militants
WASHINGTON (AP) — As two Islamic State militants faced a judge in Virginia last month, Diane Foley listened from home through a muffled phone connection and strained to make out the voices of the men prosecutors say kidnapped her son before he was murdered.
Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh stand accused of belonging to an IS cell dubbed “the Beatles,” an incongruously lighthearted nickname for British citizens blamed for the jailing, torture and murder of Western hostages in Syria.
After geopolitical breakthroughs and stalemates, military actions in Syria and court fights in London, the Justice Department’s most significant terrorism prosecution in years was finally underway. For Foley, who months earlier had pleaded with Attorney General William Barr to pursue justice by forswearing the death penalty, the fact the case was proceeding at all felt miraculous.
DOJ Not Done Investigating Election Fraud, Spokesperson Says
The Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a statement on Tuesday in response to the backlash from an article by The Associated Press which quoted Attorney General William Barr saying that “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”
“Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the DOJ has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election. That is not what the Associated Press reported nor what the Attorney General stated,” a DOJ spokesperson said, according to CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge.
GUNTER: Is Trudeau pushing Canada into a unitary state, instead of a federation?
The most obvious aspect of Monday’s federal fiscal update is that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clearly doesn’t understand economics any better than when he was a precocious, trust-fund baby in sophomore poli sci at McGill.
He seems, truly, to believe money is created through some magical process it is unnecessary to understand or respect.
Singapore grants world’s first approval to lab-grown meat
Guilt-free meat has moved closer to consumer reality after Singapore became the first country to approve a lab-grown product.
The Singapore Food Agency on Wednesday said the chicken made by US start-up Eat Just met its safety standards for use in nuggets, paving the way for a commercial launch in the Asian city-state.
Differing from plant-based meat substitutes, which are made from ingredients such as pea or soyabean protein, “in vitro”, “cell-based” or “cultured” meat is produced from animal cells grown in vats.
Better than bugs I guess. Maybe.

More than 125 such crimes have been recorded over the past two months, with three separate carjackings reported within a one-hour period on Saturday morning.

Government-issued iPhone wiped in wake of alleged theft of $11M in COVID-19 funds, court documents claim
An Ontario government computer specialist — fired after allegations that $11 million in COVID-19 funds was stolen — allegedly erased his ministry-issued iPhone before surrendering it.
The province alleges that “some or all of” Sanjay Madan, Shalini Madan, their sons Chinmaya Madan and Ujjawal Madan, and associate Vidhan Singh perpetrated “a massive fraud” to funnel pandemic relief cash payments to hundreds of TD and Bank of Montreal accounts.
F#cking Assholes: Trudeau Liberals partnered with vaccine company CanSino that Communist China uses to steal western research and technology
Top executives at CanSino Biologics — the Chinese company involved in a failed COVID-19 vaccine collaboration with Canada — were also part of a Chinese government program designed to incentivize people to transfer research and knowledge to China in exchange for salaries, funding and other benefits.
Several former Canadian Security Intelligence Service officials interviewed by Global News said that CanSino’s Canadian-educated scientists were likely seen as potential assets by Chinese Communist Party information collection networks.
And one of the Canadian security consultants, said the agency responsible for the CanSino collaboration— the National Research Council (NRC) — should have seen red flags surrounding a CanSino partnership.
FUREY: Retail sector makes up less than 0.1% of Ontario cases, new data says
Newly-released open data from the Ontario government confirms, just in time for the Christmas shopping season, that the entire provincial retail sector has only been directly linked to 106 cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began.
That would account for less than 0.1% of the approximately 116,000 Ontario cases to date. That 106 is also not all shoppers acquiring the virus, but includes retail employees who have been infected by co-workers.
