Your employer’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) department is affirmative action 2.0, a dystopian commie attempt by far-left sitzpinklers to control what you say and how you think, and it is dubiously cloaked in virtue. After all, what could be nobler than a country that embraces diversity and equality equity, not to mention one that includes all people, right?
A teacher who survived the mass shooting recounts the harrowing attack and desperate wait for a rescue.
UVALDE, Texas — The first shots came from the hallway outside the classroom. Arnulfo Reyes, a fourth-grade teacher at Robb Elementary School, quickly remembered the active shooter training he had rehearsed so many times and told his 11 students to lie under their desks and “act like you are asleep.”
A black shadow appeared at one of the classroom doors and a plume of fire flared from the tip of what looked like a rifle. Mr. Reyes felt a bullet piercing his arm, tearing off a chunk of flesh and bone. Then the gunman turned on the children. The rampage was so brutal and so swift, the teacher said, that he did not hear a single whimper from them as their bodies were shredded.
President Joe Biden’s claim that a 10-year-old rape victim was forced to travel across state lines to get an abortion after last month’s Roe Vs. Wade ruling has come into question, after a Washington Post fact-checker found the story to be largely unsubstantiated.
It has also emerged that the doctor who first shared the story with an Indiana-based news outlet is a prominent abortion advocate – placing further doubt on its credibility.
The one-source story was provided to an Indiana news outlet by Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Caitlin Bernard last week. She claimed a child abuse doctor in Ohio contacted her about the case seeking aid from the doctor.
Poilievre is going to win, and the Conservative party is going to be fine
The Conservative leadership race is over. Barring something extremely unexpected, Pierre Poilievre will be the next leader of the Conservative party, and he may well be the next prime minister. Patrick Brown’s disqualification only cements this outcome. The victory is likely to be a big one as well, with a first ballot win a serious possibility. This will give Poilievre a plausible mandate to reshape the party in his image, something that the two most recent leaders, Andrew Scheer and Erin O’Toole, did not possess and something likely to invite apoplectic warnings of many of Canada’s bien pensants, including some within the Conservative party.
I think the CPC braintrust knows the party. They just don’t like the people in it.
Last week, residents of Nogales, Arizona—a border-hugging town of about 20,000 people—awoke to find a large white blimp stationed in the sky. Even elected officials had no idea the blimp was coming. “What the hell?” Mayor Arturo Garino told Nogales International. “Did it land here by mistake?”
While Lieven Verstraete, an acclaimed Belgian journalist who hosts the program, “De Zevende Dag” (“The Seventh Day”), was recently interviewing two members of the Green Party, he raised the issue of immigration and called Brussels “the perfect example of a city whose neighborhoods are conquered one by one by newcomers”.
Newcomers? Conquered?
“How?” replied Nadia Naji, a politician of Molenbeek’s Green party.
“Well,” Verstraete, visibly uncomfortable, tried to explain, “more and more people with immigrant origins come to live there and claim their place. Do you feel Belgian in Molenbeek?”
A few hours after the broadcast, he apologized.
“In twenty years”, the French newspaper Le Figaro predicted about Brussels, “the European capital will be Muslim”.
The contents of Hunter Biden’s iCloud account have allegedly been hacked by users of the 4chan community, who posted screenshots purported to be from his phone and computer on the website’s main political forum late Saturday night.
Administrators on the image board moved quickly in the hours after the content was posted to pull down threads that included materials from the alleged leak, leaving many on the site, which is known for featuring some of the most salacious subject matter on the internet, furious.
Leery of a national draft for the Ukraine war, the Kremlin is offering cash bonuses and employing strong arm tactics.
Four Russian veterans of the war in Ukraine recently published short videos online to complain about what they called their shabby treatment after returning to the Russian region of Chechnya, after six weeks on the battlefield.
One claimed to have been denied a promised payment of nearly $2,000. Another grumbled that a local hospital declined to remove shrapnel lodged in his body.
Their public pleas for help got results, but not the kind they were hoping for. Instead, an aide to Ramzan Kadyrov, the autocrat who runs Chechnya, berated them at length on television as ingrates and forced them to recant. “I was paid much more than they promised,” said Nikolai Lipa, the young Russian who had claimed that he had been cheated.
The British public should turn down their heating and switch the time when they eat dinner this winter in order to avoid rolling blackouts, government advisors have warned.
Contingency planning from the British government’s UK National Infrastructure Commission has warned that as many as six million households could face power cuts if there are additional supply issues Russian energy imports.
Starting in September, members of the Canadian Armed Forces will be able to carry purses, wear skirts and stockings, grow their hair as long as they choose and polish their finger and toenails whatever colour pleases them.
And I’m talking about male soldiers.
Ottawa has bowed to German pressure and will return a Russian gas turbine to Germany that Moscow has deemed critical to the flow of natural gas to Europe.
Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announced the decision in a statement Saturday. He said the Canadian government is sending back the turbine at the urging of Germany and other European countries, which are trying to replenish gas stocks for the winter months ahead.
Bowed to German pressure? Hardly. A globalist alliance of green-scammers is using the Ukraine crisis as cover to impose their great reset. Justin is simply helping a fellow conspirator to weather the coming storm.
OTTAWA—The advisory panel tasked with making recommendations for Canada’s pending legislation on online safety has failed to come to an agreement on how online harms should be defined, and whether dangerous content should be scrubbed from the internet altogether.
On Friday, the federal government published the findings from the expert panel’s tenth and final session, which summed up three months of deliberations over what a future legislative and regulatory framework might look like.
… Most of the panel found that child exploitation and terrorist content should be handled in “an unambiguous manner by future legislation.” Others deemed the five categories “deeply problematic,” in one instance, taking issue with definitions of terrorism for focusing on “Islamic terror” and omitting other forms.
Thousands gathered in the US capital on Saturday, marching through pouring rain and risking arrest to protest over the reversal of abortion rights last month.
The demonstration came two weeks after the Supreme Court repealed Roe v Wade – the ruling that had guaranteed abortion access nationwide for nearly 50 years.
Chanting “we won’t go back”, protesters converged on the White House, with some tying themselves to the gates outside.
At least 15 people have been shot dead in a bar in the South African township of Soweto, police say.
Police said gunmen entered the Orlando East tavern in the early hours of Sunday morning and started firing randomly at a group of young people.
