‘Minor Attraction’ is not a queer sexual identity
“Julie Bindel takes to right wing GB News to smear the trans community with the same trope that was used against gay men in the 1980s — that they are all paedophiles. Has she forgotten that made gays a target for physical violence? Does she care if trans people are now targeted too?”
Billy Bragg didn’t much care for my appearance on Andrew Doyle’s Free Speech Nation.
There can be little doubt in any serious person’s mind that Green technology is an unmitigated disaster. It is no longer an issue of Big Oil, which the Leftwaffe is strafing and bombing daily, but of the multi-billion-dollar industry of Big Green, or the Climate-Industrial Complex. The game has changed. As The Epoch Times reports, “a powerful lobby of politicians, scientists, and media pushes climate-related falsehoods into the popular perspective,” to the advantage of Big Business and the attendant cohort of technopreneurs.
The news that a young woman anti-war activist, Darya Trepova, is suspect number one in the bombing assassination of Russian pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky may shock those schooled to believe that political violence is an all-male preserve. But it will come as no surprise to anyone with the sketchiest knowledge of Russian history. For in Russian politics, as Rudyard Kipling wrote, ‘the female of the species is more deadly than the male’.
Dan Hao was once a wealthy entrepreneur in China. Now, he’s in self-imposed exile in Vancouver working as a contractor — with an international warrant out for his arrest.
Hao fled to Vancouver in 2019 after, he says, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) forcibly took over the securities brokerage firm he was running. In the years since, Hao has become a vocal protester of the CCP and is now the leader of the Vancouver branch of the Democratic Party of China — activities, he says, that have made him and his group the target of harassment campaigns.
The fact-checker got fact-checked, and it didn’t end well for him.
The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler frequently manages to make himself the story, often due to his not-so-subtle left-wing partisan bent. It was on full display over his handling of accurate portrayals of billionaire George Soros backing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. And it was so egregious he was hit with two community notes on Twitter for his misleading spin.
Why does a country once regarded as a model of moderation and sanity now view itself as a seething den of blood-soaked bigotry and white supremacy?
Canadians used to have a reputation for being sane and moderate,” Oxford University professor Nigel Biggar said to me on a recent Quillette podcast. “If you have time, I’d like to know why you think Canada has gone the way it has.”
By “the way it has,” Prof. Biggar was alluding to my country’s strange, somewhat manic-seeming lurch into progressive radicalism since the election of Justin Trudeau, whose government now litters its policy agenda with paeans to intersectionality and anti-racism. This has been done with the express approval not just of Canada’s academic and activist establishment, but of the many Canadian journalists who now devote much of their time to hectoring readers and viewers about privilege, systemic racism and “decolonization”.

March 23 marked the anniversary of the murder of Mireille Knoll, an elderly Jewish woman and a Holocaust survivor who was living in Paris. Her murder was one of many brutal, antisemitic attacks in France over the past several years.
On March 23, 2018, two men, Yacine Mihoub and Alex Carrimbacus—both Knoll’s neighbors—entered her apartment, stabbed her eleven times, and lit her body on fire. Allegedly it was a botched robbery that turned into a murder. But, during the investigation and trial, it became evident that antisemitism was a factor in Knoll’s murder.
In spite of the US’s drive towards energy independence in recent years, the world remains depressingly reliant on OPEC for oil
Just when we thought inflationary forces were softening, the price of crude oil has shot up sharply on Monday in response to an announcement by OPEC that it will try to reduce production. A barrel of Brent crude, which touched $120 last summer before falling back to $75 last month, reached $85 at one point yesterday. Some analysts expect it to hit $100.
The Toronto Maple Leafs said in keeping with its usual tradition it will not wear Pride sweaters before tonight’s game but other events, including drag performances, will highlight the event.
In the game versus the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Scotiabank Arena, the Leafs will instead have rainbow tape and helmet decals available for players to wear to celebrate Pride Night.
1/ Lots of people are spreading this misinformation about the role ethnicity has played in the grooming gang scandal. This is the biggest race hate scandal in 21st century Britain so we need to get it right. Thread… https://t.co/aAC6XZP5JV

A worthwhile read dispelling the disinformation spread by those seeking to run cover for the grooming gangs.
US President Joe Biden appears more worried about the Israeli government’s plan for judicial reform than the growing support among Palestinians for terrorism against Israel.
He seems more concerned about a plan to fix the deeply broken judicial system in Israel than about Palestinian threats to destroy Israel and kill as many Jews as possible.
The State Department is behind this, Biden is just a malleable tool.
The US military killed a senior Islamic State leader in Syria on Monday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Tuesday, another blow to a group that was driven from its self-declared caliphate years ago but is still widely deemed a threat.
CENTCOM named him as Khalid ‘Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri in a statement, saying he was responsible for planning Islamic State attacks in Europe and Turkey and developed the group’s leadership structure in Turkey.
That is one crappy job.
A growing number of Canadians believe big grocery chains are profiteering from food inflation and unnecessarily pushing prices higher according to a new survey released Tuesday.
The survey, conducted by Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, found that 30 per cent of Canadians think grocery chain price gouging is the main reason food prices have been rising in Canada. In Ontario, 31.7 per cent of respondents believed grocery chain price gouging was the main cause of high grocery bills.
Kid Rock has posted of video of himself shooting up cases of Bud Light in an apparent response to the beer brand’s hiring of transgender social media personality Dylan Mulvaney as its newest spokesperson.
