FBI ordered to release documents about bureau’s response to NSBA letter

The FBI must comply with a Freedom of Information Act request seeking records about the bureau’s response to a 2021 letter from the National School Boards Association that labeled parent protesters domestic terrorists, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled.

In the four-page order, U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden said last week that the Department of Justice had “dragged its feet” in responding to a FOIA request filed by the government watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust that sought records from the FBI and other DOJ entities about their response to a September 2021 letter from the NSBA that requested the Biden administration and the DOJ investigate protests and threats against school board members under federal domestic terrorism laws.

Beyond TikTok: Let’s Talk About Another Chinese Trojan Horse

Unless you happen to live under a rock or on an oil rig, you’re no doubt familiar with TikTok, the Chinese-owned video sharing app that has been accused of being a Trojan horse for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The vast majority of Americans, according to recent Pew findings, now support a ban on TikTok. Some Democrats, however, believe a ban would be “racist.”

In truth, banning TikTok has absolutely nothing to do with racism. It is a matter of national security. Beyond the U.S., countries like France, Norway, and The Netherlands are pushing forward with plans to ban the app. In 2020, India imposed a nationwide ban on TikTok (as well as a number of other Chinese apps), citing privacy and security concerns. More recently, Taiwan imposed a public sector ban on the controversial app.

What the Palestinian Terrorist’s Mother Told Him…

When a teenager informs his parent that he intends to do something rash, any normal, responsible parent tries to dissuade him. “Don’t do something crazy just because your friends are doing it.” Or “But that will go on your permanent record.” Or “I’m not giving you the car keys if that’s where you’re going.”

But that’s not the response that 16-year-old Muntasir Al-Shawa got when he recently informed his mother that he intended to carry out a terrorist attack against Israeli Jews. Instead, she gave him tips on how to properly prepare himself to carry out the attack.

Dressed to Kill

Is anyone surprised by transgender homicide?

On March 27, a 28-year-old armed woman walked into a Presbyterian primary school in Nashville, Tennessee, and shot three children and three adults to death before being gunned down by police. The murderer was initially identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, but later the same day, having discovered that she considered herself to be a transgender male, local officials began referring to her by her last known name of choice, Aiden Hale.

The pantomime of pardoning witches

Their descendants are clinging on to past trauma

On the surface, there was nothing extraordinary about the lives of John and Joan Carrington. He was a carpenter in his late forties with a small estate, mostly eaten up by debts, in the town of Wethersfield in Connecticut. She was his wife and mother to their daughter, Rebecca, and son, John junior, from a previous marriage. But in February 1651, the couple was charged with “familiarity with Satan, the great enemy of God and mankind”, with whose power they had performed “works above the course of nature”. Both were found guilty, sentenced to death and hanged at Hartford.

The truth about racism in Britain

Is Britain racist? A major two-year study that set out to answer this question was published last week. It claims to be the most comprehensive account of racial inequality in the UK of the past quarter of a century. Its conclusion, the Guardian reports, is that Britain is ‘not close to being a racially just society’. Yet the data uncovered by the study suggest precisely the opposite – that Britain is not a racist country.

10 key questions for this week’s historic UFO hearing

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is doubling down on solving the decades-old UFO mystery. On Wednesday, the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities will hold the second hearing on the phenomenon in over 50 years.

Congressional interest in UFOs (also known as “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAP) surged following the 2017 publication of eyebrow-raising videos recorded by Navy fighter jets. Briefings by naval aviators who witnessed the mysterious objects maneuvering in extraordinary ways subsequently paved the way for groundbreaking UAP-related legislation.

Diversity Alert: Member of Alberta multiculturalism council resigns over antisemitic posts

… The Opposition NDP provided The Canadian Press screen grabs of what appears to be Khan’s Facebook account.

One shows an edited image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the Star of David on his forehead, feasting on the blood of a child with the words “can’t get enough” written above his head. Another post shows Khan allegedly praising a terrorist convicted for his role in the 2001 attack on the Indian Parliament.

Parallel Law: The Rise of Sharia Councils in the UK

Sharia (translated as ‘the correct path’) is the divine law that a Muslim must follow to lead a moral life. It is derived from the Quran and hadith—thousands of sayings attributed to Prophet Mohammad. It is applied to both the public and private spheres. It was interpreted by jurists in the classical period of Islam, wherein four major schools were established. To this day, many Muslim societies still abide, at least in part, by its rule.

CBC pauses Twitter activity after being labelled ‘government-funded media’

CBC/Radio-Canada has paused activities on its corporate and news Twitter accounts, after the social media platform put a “government-funded media” label on its @CBC account, in its latest move to stamp public broadcasters with designations.

“Twitter can be a powerful tool for our journalists to communicate with Canadians, but it undermines the accuracy and professionalism of the work they do to allow our independence to be falsely described in this way,” said corporate spokesperson Leon Mar.

Compared to last three Conservative leaders, Poilievre in more favourable political environment to unseat Trudeau, but still has ‘a hell of a fight ahead,’ say veteran political players

The current political environment is much more favourable for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to unseat the prime minister—compared to how it was for the last three party leaders who went head-to-head with Justin Trudeau in general election campaigns—but it’s too early to conclude that he is “the strongest challenger Trudeau has faced,” say veteran political players.

“He’s the only challenger that got Justin Trudeau in his third term, in that type of political environment that he’s in,” said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs in an interview with The Hill Times. “The circumstances that he [Poilievre] finds himself in compared to the other two Conservative leaders is quite different. So I don’t agree that it’s an evaluation of the three leaders. The environment here is more important than the people.”
