Collaborators with Russian forces are fleeing, say Ukrainian officials

Ukrainian citizens accused of collaborating with occupying Russian forces in Kharkiv province and the neighbouring Donbas region are fleeing from recently liberated areas and queueing to cross into Russia at the border, Ukrainian officials have said.

“The ‘commandant’s offices’, ‘prosecutor’s offices’, occupiers and gauleiters are leaving,” the governor of Luhansk province, Serhiy Haidai, wrote on Telegram. “The Ukrainian flag, which our guerrillas raised last night over the administration building in Kreminna, remains intact as the Russians now seem to have understood everything so they don’t dare to take it down. Russians and their collaborators are fleeing from Luhansk region, heading towards Russia”. Luhansk makes up the Donbas region with Donetsk to the south.

The Public Has Lost Faith in Legacy Media’s Ability to Be Objective

Long at the core of journalism, the idea that reporters must be seen to conduct their work objectively is under siege. And it is losing.

The verbal trebuchets of social justice warriors chased Bari Weiss from the New York Times. National Post staff rebelled after Rex Murphy’s column questioning institutional racism was published. The Washington Post battled reporters over social media activism. National Public Radio news staff won the right to join demonstrations. Wendy Mesley mentioned a book title out loud at the CBC and a 40-year career was demolished.

And now, even the walls of the Globe and Mail have been breached.

Nolte: Ratings Poison Jimmy Kimmel Losing to TWO Fox News Shows

In the late night ratings wars, Disney’s left-wing Jimmy Kimmel is now losing to TWO Fox News programs.

Informed people know that Fox News Channel’s Greg Gutfeld is stomping all over Late Night. This is especially extraordinary when you consider the following: Fox News is available in only about 87 million homes. Meanwhile, ABC, NBC, and CBS are broadcast channels available for free in a great majority of the more than 120 million homes with televisions.

China’s economy is slowing, its population aging. That could make it dangerous.

China’s economy is in trouble. The juggernaut that once looked bound for global domination is slowing down — and not only in the short run.

The Chinese economy’s projected growth this year has slowed to about 3%, missing the government’s target of 5.5% by an embarrassingly wide margin.

After decades of galloping expansion, that would be the second-worst performance in more than 40 years. Only 2020, with its COVID-induced recession, was worse.

Soon-to-close NHS Tavistock clinic is accused of ‘wrongly convincing gay and bisexual people they were TRANS’ in bitter legal dispute

Tavistock is the sort of criminal lunacy that Justin Trudeau supports.

The UK’s soon-to-close child gender clinic has been accused of wrongly convincing gay and bisexual people that they are trans.

London-based Tavistock Clinic was ordered to close it doors in July after a damning report found it was ‘not safe’ for children.

The clinic, which opened in the 1980s, was criticised for allegedly rushing teenagers onto life-altering puberty blocking drugs.

State Insists Chauvin Jury Was ‘Impartial,’ Mocks His Appeal

Mob rule has become the law of the land, according to the results of the George Floyd hearing.

Said Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. of the Atlanta jury that convicted Leo Frank of murdering a 13-year-old female employee in 1913, “Mob law does not become due process of law by securing the assent of a terrified jury.” Frank was Jewish. The jurors were not necessarily anti-Semitic, but they had good reason to be terrified of the mobs that were. After Georgia Gov. John Slaton commuted Frank’s sentence from death to life imprisonment, the mobs stormed the prison, abducted Frank, and hanged him. Slaton and his wife were forced to leave the state.

Wow! Twitter Green Lights Anti-Trans Movement

In the history of American social movements, September 11 may take on new significance. September 11, 2022, is the day the powers that be allowed LGBWithoutTheT to trend on Twitter. In broad daylight, lesbians and gays disassociated themselves from the transgender movement, and Twitter gave them a platform. This was a major turnaround. Just a month earlier Twitter had banned “Gays Against Groomers” for “hateful conduct.”

The great Net Zero lie

Our leaders just want to take control

“Net Zero” was supposed to be a straightforward idea — one that could be achieved with a healthy dose of spreadsheet politics, shifting a few numbers from one Excel column to another. It made sense, then, when the UN delegated the job of devising it to Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of England. And it seemed perfectly reasonable when some of the world’s biggest polluters — China, the United States, the European Union — announced a strict timeline for when they aim to be carbon neutral.

How Jordan Peterson became a punchbag of Hollywood know-nothings

They never learn, do they? If the tumultuous events we have all watched with growing horror over the past few years taught us one thing, it is this – people don’t care what the pampered starlets of Hollywood have to say about politics. If we did, then Hillary Clinton would be comfortably enjoying her second term as the pantsuit POTUS, Jeremy Corbyn would be prime minister of the UK and we would all be driving electric cars.

Exposed: The ‘97% of scientists agree with manmade global warming’ lie

OUR government is imposing draconian limitations on our lifestyles, our economy and our finances to save the planet from supposed catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW), now renamed ‘climate change’. Probably one of the most repeated arguments you’ll hear in support of the need to achieve ‘net zero’ is that ’97 per cent of scientists agree CAGW is happening’.

Tasha Kheiriddin: I discovered firsthand the power of Poilievre. Liberals should be afraid

Thank God, the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race is over. To paraphrase Thomas Hobbes, it was nasty, brutish and long, way too long for anyone’s mental health. Especially if you were volunteering on a campaign, and even more so if your candidate did not win. Which was my experience: despite valiant efforts, and a noble fight, Jean Charest did not take home the crown. In the end, rival Pierre Poilievre swamped all his adversaries, winning 68 per cent of the points. Let’s just say the after party was not exactly a rocking good time.

Here’s What I Learned at the Press Briefing for DART: NASA’s Planetary Defense Mission

Yesterday morning I took part in a press briefing for NASA’s DART mission, which is set to test the space program’s planetary defense capabilities. On September 26, a NASA spacecraft will reach Didymos, a small asteroid that orbits its twin asteroid, Dimorphos. In my initial report last month, I said that NASA is blowing up an asteroid, but it turns out that’s not the case. Instead, the DART spacecraft will nudge the asteroid into a different orbit.

Violence, second chances and missed opportunities: the Saskatchewan killer’s criminal file

ROSTHERN, Sask.—The manhunt ended in the grass beside Highway 11, where two RCMP vehicles forced mass murder suspect Myles Sanderson’s stolen white Chevy Avalanche off the road.

His capture and subsequent death in custody on Wednesday was the end of four days on the run for the 32-year-old resident of James Smith Cree Nation, but he was accustomed to life as a fugitive.
