Around 50 police officers have been drafted in to keep two crowds of protesters separate at a Kellie-Jay Keen rally in Belfast today – just weeks after the women’s rights campaigner was pelted with tomato sauce in New Zealand.

Meet the Chinese billionaire who donated to the Trudeau Foundation
Zhang Bin, a wealthy Chinese businessman, finds himself in the middle of a controversial 2016 donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation that The Globe and Mail has reported was linked to the Chinese government, allegedly part of Beijing’s meddling in Canadian democratic processes.

The head of Russia’s mercenary Wagner group caused a stir by saying that an end to the war in Ukraine would be an “ideal result.”
Yevgeny Prigozhin made the remark in a blog post published Friday that has only now come to light.

When you went to elementary school, did your teacher ever suggest—even in his or her most sinister dream—that the class all go to a strip club to sample a bit of salacious sexual culture? Never. It would never have been imagined.

Is Society Approaching the ‘Sexless Equality’ Prophesied by G. K. Chesterton?
Men and women are uniquely different, not only complementing but actually completing one another.
Despite its face-value absurdity, the transsexual movement has a stranglehold on society. Political and cultural elites are shoving the trans agenda down normal people’s throats, no matter the cost. Anheuser-Busch recently took a $5 billion hit for dedicating its Bud Light beers to trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, top YouTuber MrBeast is losing fans for promoting a staffer’s “gender transition,” American staple Jack Daniels faced boycotts for plugging drag queens in a marketing campaign, Disney lost its massive Florida tax breaks for endorsing pro-LGBT legislation, and the list goes on.
