China Installs New Bishop in Defiance of Pact With Vatican

This is what happens when you make a deal with the devil.

Media sources report that the Vatican is accusing the Chinese government of unilaterally appointing a new bishop to Shanghai in violation of a “secret pact” that Pope Francis and Chinese officials renewed last October. Shanghai is the largest Roman Catholic diocese in China. Four months ago, the Vatican claimed that China violated the pact by installing a bishop in a diocese that is not recognized by the Holy See. This is what happens when you make a deal with the devil.

Slavery: The Guardian may be guilty, but not the rest of us

IF you happen to pass the Guardian’s offices near King’s Cross this week and hear wailing, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, don’t worry – it’s just the Graun in the throes of an extraordinary guilt trip.

Britain’s self-righteous bible of progressive, liberal-leftish wokery has been engulfed by hand-wringing turmoil after discovering that its 19th century founders had lucrative links to the transatlantic slave trade.

Chicago elects a new mayor who defended looting

Brandon Johnson – Looting Enthusiast

Not quite one-third of registered voters (33.2%) bothered to vote in Tuesday’s election for the next mayor of Chicago, and the non-voting two thirds may soon regret their electoral passivity. Brandon Johnson, a far-left radical, has won the race with a 2.8% margin at the latest count, and thanks to his anti-police stance, the crime wave driving businesses and residents out of the city will only get worse.

The media still won’t speak the truth about grooming gangs

British Pakistanis are over-represented in this kind of child abuse

Much of the British media has not taken kindly to the Government’s new plans to clamp down on grooming gangs. After the Prime Minister announced a raft of policies to tackle the crisis, columnists singled out Home Secretary Suella Braverman for claiming that British Pakistanis were largely to blame for child abuse networks in the UK.

The Left Is Dead Wrong About What Homeless People Really Need

In Austin, Texas, in a 24-hour period in March less than a mile apart, a woman was punched several times and sexually assaulted, suffering a split lower jaw and bruises over her body; then a building was burned down, damaging adjacent buildings, causing about $1.5 million in damage. The common thread: Homeless men living on the street are the accused.

The homeless are on the streets because they don’t have homes — or so many of their so-called advocates claim. They see homelessness as a disease and prescribing housing as the first step to a cure — with housing seen as a right, like they believe health care should be.

Vancouver police deployed to end tent encampment in Downtown Eastside

An extreme fire risk and escalating crime have made a tent encampment in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside a deadly hazard and it must be closed, the city’s mayor, fire chief and police chief say.

City officials held a news conference Tuesday as Vancouver police officers and city staff were dispatched to dismantle the tent encampment along Hastings Street.

Mayor Ken Sim said the longer the street camp continues, the higher the odds more people will lose their lives and even more people will lose their homes to the fire hazard.

They did the right thing. Now will they stick with enforcement?

Don Lemon’s Misogyny at CNN, Exposed: Malicious Texts, Mocking Female Co-Workers and ‘Diva-Like Behavior’

Back in 2008, Don Lemon was co-anchoring CNN’s “Live From” weekday show with Kyra Phillips, a gig that he landed after he arrived at the network two years prior from local news in Chicago. For months, tensions between the pair kept mounting. On more than one occasion, a “Live From” producer and a newsroom supervisor had to pull Lemon off the air during a commercial break because of the anchor’s provocative antics, not unlike his recent declaration that the 51-year-old Nikki Haley isn’t a viable presidential candidate because she “isn’t in her prime.” Amid the charged atmosphere, sources say Lemon disrespected colleague Nancy Grace on the air and Soledad O’Brien during an editorial meeting attended by roughly 30 staffers.

Not a surprise.

Bruce Pardy: Agatha Christie revisions are the writing on the wall

Last week The Telegraph reported that Agatha Christie’s novels are being sanitized for re-release. HarperCollins, their publisher, is removing references to physique, race and ethnicity in new editions of Miss Marple and selected Poirot novels. Christie joins Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming on the list of dead literary icons whose works have met similar fates in recent weeks. Shakespeare, Dr. Seuss and Mark Twain have been curbed in other ways. If it seems like small potatoes, you may be missing the big picture. When publishers defile literature, you know the writing is on the wall.

Moron who literally hires anti-Semites calls for peace following Israeli raid of mosque

Trudeau calls for peace following Israeli raid of mosque

“It’s the holy month of Ramadan, it’s Passover right now, and families — Israeli and Palestinian — deserve to be able to celebrate and reflect in peace and in security. That’s why we deplore what’s going on right now in Israel,” Trudeau said at a news conference.

Playing to the Islamists as usual.

34 x 0 = 0 – Alvin Bragg cannot wish away math.

The former publisher of the National Enquirer, a convicted perjurer, and a 44-year-old porn star constitute the potential witnesses against Donald Trump. With the prosecution relying on that cast of characters, who needs a defense?

Not since Geraldo Rivera opened Al Capone’s vault has anticipation led to such letdown as that which Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Tuesday gave to Democrats who regard Trump as Christians do Satan.

Inconvenient Victims In Philadelphia, some tragedies are more politically exploitable than others

Two weeks ago, Philadelphia agreed to pay $9.25 million in a settlement to hundreds of protesters claiming to be victims of police brutality during the 2020 George Floyd protests. In a class-action lawsuit consolidating four federal cases, the plaintiffs allege that police “[chased] residents into their homes and indiscriminately fire[d] canisters of tear gas at them,” causing them to sustain immense “physical and emotional injuries.”

China accuses Canadian MPs of foreign interference after report saying Taiwan should decide its own future

The Chinese government is accusing Canada of foreign interference, after a high-profile parliamentary committee released a report that says the Taiwanese people, rather than Beijing, should decide the fate of the self-ruled island.

The report on Taiwan by the House of Commons special committee on the Canada-People’s Republic of China relationship also urges the Canadian government to make efforts to join AUKUS, a United States-Britiain-Australia defence pact that has been condemned by Beijing as an “Asia-Pacific version of NATO.”

I’m sure Justin is conveying his deepest regrets via diplomatic backchannels.
