The Pashas of Public School

It’s a state religion.
The priests are teachers’ unions, bureaucrats, education academics, and “equity consultants.” It doesn’t even pretend to be ideologically neutral anymore: Children are taught gender ideology starting in the fifth grade, but may graduate unable to read at grade level. They will learn that America is evil, but never even hear about the Federalist Papers. Canadian students won’t recognize a Bible story, but will be fluent in climate activism and “decolonization.” Heretics are punished by the Holy Office of Human Resources.

Inside the Mojave Desert train heists targeting Nike sneakers

The thieves stealthily board eastbound freight trains, hiding out until they reach lonely stretches of the Mojave Desert or high plains far from towns. They slash an air brake hose, causing the mile-long line of railcars to screech to an emergency stop.

Then, they go shopping.

That’s the modus operandi described by investigators in a string of at least 10 heists targeting BNSF trains in California and Arizona since last March. All but one resulted in the theft of Nike sneakers, their combined value approaching $2 million, according to investigators.

The NSA’s Secret Sex Chats

The “intelligence community” is one of the most powerful parts of the American national security apparatus. In theory, it works tirelessly to keep the nation safe. But according to internal documents that we obtained, some intelligence agency employees have another on-the-job priority: sex chats.

We have cultivated sources within the National Security Agency—one current employee and one former employee—who have provided chat logs from the NSA’s Intelink messaging program. According to an NSA press official, “All NSA employees sign agreements stating that publishing non-mission related material on Intelink is a usage violation and will result in disciplinary action.” Nonetheless, these logs, dating back two years, are lurid, featuring wide-ranging discussions of sex, kink, polyamory, and castration.

Billionaires line up to support Mark Carney in Liberal leadership race

Members of six of Canada’s billionaire families have donated the legal maximum to Mark Carney’s Liberal leadership campaign, according to an Investigative Journalism Foundation analysis of the first interim financial disclosures published by Elections Canada.

Carney raised $1.9 million overall, far more than any other leadership candidate. He is also dominating the polls and has 83 MPs supporting him compared to former finance minister Chrystia Freeland’s 26.

Zelensky Furious About Minerals-for-Security Deal as Ukraine Prepares To Sign Over Resources to America

Ukraine and America are on the “one-yard line” of a minerals-for-security deal despite Ukraine’s President Zelensky’s furious unleashing last week on Treasury Secretary Bessent about the size of the purported arrangement.

“It looks like we’re getting very close. The deal is being worked on and we’re I think getting very close to getting to an agreement where we get our money back over a period of time,” President Trump said Monday during a White House press briefing with French President Macron.

Everybody Freeze! It’s the Climate Police

We have it on good authority that it sometimes gets quite cold in Canada during wintertime. As our Canadian readers can attest, in such brutal conditions machinery often acts a little funky. Batteries refuse to turn over, hard things become brittle, fluids freeze or gum up, and dimensions of solid materials quite literally contract. Operating an automobile in this environment can be particularly challenging for the passenger and engine alike, as both need to be warmed up before they can be expected to perform within specifications. In particularly harsh conditions, a car might require 15 to 20 minutes of idling before the engine and cabin reach comfortable conditions, and remote car starters have become incredibly popular solutions.

From teen idol to lost soul: The dark descent of Justin Bieber

For a time it seemed that Justin Bieber had managed to put his demons behind him and was enjoying a more stable phase of his life. The former teen idol, now 30, became a father for the first time in August and has been married to Hailey Bieber for seven years. There was even talk of him releasing new music in 2025.

But with the shocking pictures of him looking gaunt and haggard this week, along with cryptic Instagram messages and a recent altercation with a paparazzi, it feels as if someone has turned the clock back to a decade ago. Back to a time when the then 20-year-old pop star was acting increasingly erratically, was arrested for driving under the influence and spent a night in jail.

Diddy? Or Diddy not?

Justin Trudeau trolled by Donald Trump as he and other world leaders show support for Ukraine

OTTAWA—As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other world leaders presented a show of unity with Ukraine on the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, U.S. President Donald Trump doubled down on his intent to work with Russia to end the gruelling war and “recoup” U.S. aid funnelled into the war effort by laying claim to Ukraine’s critical mineral wealth.

Trudeau was in Kyiv Monday, where he spoke at the International Summit on the Support of Ukraine and chaired a meeting of G7 leaders.

Lame-Brained NPR Can’t Identify Any ‘Extremism’ on the Leftist Side

We at NewsBusters have often explained that “public” broadcasters like NPR pay reporters to be “Extremism” correspondents, but strangely, the ideological spectrum seems to go from the “far right” extreme to some sort of center-left. They cannot seem to acknowledge with the slightest fraction of honesty that there is any identifiable or newsworthy extremism on the Left.

One new Exhibit A comes from NPR’s “Public Editor” Kelly McBride. In a February 20 article on “News Literacy,” she attempted to explain how the taxpayer-funded radio network deploys their correspondents on the “extremism” beat.

Sounds like CBC.

Candidates vying to be the next leader of the federal Liberals and Canada’s prime minister will square off in a French-language debate in Montreal tonight.

MSNBC Panel Feels Like a Funeral After Analyst Tells Hard Truth About Trump

MSNBC’s legal analyst Danny Cevallos nearly brought a panel to tears when he pushed back against the headlines suggesting that President Trump is suffering devastating courtroom defeats over his executive orders.

“Over the weekend, I read all these headlines and the headlines were like, Trump suffers legal blows,” Cevallos said. “Another one was, Trump hit with unexpected loss.”

The most telling indicator that the Liberals remain doomed

Despite a spate of new polls showing the Liberals as contenders in the next federal election, the party continues to flunk one of the more reliable Ottawa indicators of looming defeat: Their MPs are all leaving.

As of press time, 35 of the Liberals’ 153 MPs have announced their intention not to run for re-election.

That’s nearly a quarter of the caucus who have already thrown in the towel on their parliamentary career — and the list includes many of the most influential names of the Trudeau government.

Green-Scam Profiteer Mark Carney’s Firm Brookfield Buys Brit Net Zero Assets

Mark Carney’s investment company has bought National Grid’s renewables business as the former Bank of England governor runs for political high office.

The Canadian asset manager Brookfield, which is chaired by Mr Carney, is expected to complete the $1.7bn (£1.3bn) takeover of the National Grid operation by the end of September.

The deal comes as Mr Carney, who last year raised $10bn for the group’s eco-friendly investment fund, battles to succeed Justin Trudeau as the leader of Canada’s Liberal Party in a contest on March 9.

I do not want this Green-Scam profiteer as PM.
