The madness behind the battle for Bakhmut

Russian troops are dying in their thousands here

“The objective for today is to come back alive.” Yevgeny is a young commando from the “Mad Pack”, a special forces unit that has been fighting in Bakhmut since November. His words are familiar — lacquered with that mix of emotions common to almost all soldiers fighting on the frontlines of war: laughter and unease. We clamber into a Land Cruiser and head toward the city. “The situation is always changing,” he continues. “But one thing remains the same: the line of contact is always active.”

Bugs go on the menu in Europe

EATING bugs used to be the preserve of small children who knew no better. However, in our fast-changing world, what would have seemed outlandish only a few years ago is now on the menu.

Indeed, only last week, the European Union passed regulation 2023/5. It allows ‘partially defatted’ powder of the house cricket (Acheta domesticus) into the food chain for human consumption.

Our non-gendered parent who art in heaven: Priests could stop using male pronouns ‘He’ and ‘Him’ when referring to God in prayers and drop phrase ‘our Father’ from the Lord’s Prayer

God could be referred to in ‘non-gendered’ terms during Church of England services for the first time, it can be revealed.

Breaking with centuries of tradition, bishops have announced they are launching a major ‘project on gendered language’ this spring.

It may suggest that priests can stop using the male pronouns ‘He’ and ‘Him’ when referring to God in some prayers, or even that they can drop the famous phrase ‘our Father’ from the start of the Lord’s Prayer.

How the green elites are impoverishing the world

Climate targets are standing in the way of global development.

The global super-rich love to warn us about climate change. They love to preach about all the things we’ll need to give up and all the sacrifices we should make. But they also love to travel in private jets and live in lavish mansions by the sea. They emit orders of magnitude more CO2 than the average person. So what explains this mismatch? Is there more to it than just hypocrisy?

Swedish police demand tools to fight ‘unprecedented’ gang crime

Nation with peaceful reputation averaged one shooting or bombing a day last month

Swedish police chiefs have warned that crime is hitting “extremely serious and unprecedented” levels after 19 shootings in Stockholm and the surrounding towns since Christmas.

Gun violence between gangs competing over the increasingly lucrative drugs trade has been rising since the turn of the millennium, culminating in a record 63 fatal shootings last year. The country also has the European Union’s highest numbers of drug offences, burglaries and thefts per head, according to the bloc’s statistics agency.

Diane Francis: Can Canada’s welfare state survive Trudeau’s immigration targets?

Seven years of foolish Liberal immigration policy is cratering housing, health care and the middle class in the country’s two largest cities, Toronto and Vancouver. A new report by CIBC Capital Markets reveals that the overly rapid immigration problem is much more serious than most people realized.

Jesse Kline: Pointless Tucker Carlson motion shows Jagmeet Singh has turned NDP into parody of itself

Even Jack Layton, the patron saint of Canadian socialism, whose so-called orange wave saw the New Democrats form Opposition for the first time in history, could scarcely have imagined the power held by current NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, thanks to his supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals. Instead of presenting itself as a serious governing alternative, however, the NDP has devolved into a parody of itself.

The Doomsday Clock has been corrupted by ideology

Climate change is not the same as nuclear annihilation

Ever since I can remember, I have always been aware of something called the “Doomsday Clock,” a symbolized calculation produced by a panel of prominent scientists of just how close humanity is to destroying itself. Published on the cover of every issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a journal founded in 1945 by Manhattan Project physicists, the clock’s hands would move toward or away from the dreaded midnight hour depending on how near Armageddon was believed to be.

Joe Rogan Slams ‘Wild’ Media Silence on Twitter Files, Equates the Scandal with Watergate

“Arguably, it’s as big a scandal as Watergate.” That’s how Joe Rogan described the liberal media’s deafening silence on the bombshell Twitter Files stories.

Podcast host Joe Rogan called the legacy media’s silence on the Twitter Files (37:44) “fucking wild” on his Feb. 3 podcast episode. “It’s as big a scandal as any other times in the past where we’ve found there’s been some really shady shit going on that would change the way people would see a narrative.”

The media is simply not trustworthy.
