Residential school survivors push for papal visit to Kamloops, B.C., want input on expected apology

More than a dozen residential school survivors from First Nations across the country plan to press Roman Catholic bishops for input on the Pope’s planned stops when he visits Canada in July and the words the pontiff will use in his expected residential school apology on Canadian soil.

The survivors are holding two days of talks in Winnipeg before meeting with Canadian bishops on Wednesday. They hope the meeting will lead to the signing of a new covenant committing the Roman Catholic Church to deeper engagement with First Nations before and after Pope Francis comes to Canada.

That would be the sorry but there are no graves here apology tour.

Joaquin Castro and the bluechecks outclown one another for a Twitter hoaxster

Joaquin Castro, keystone cop of wokester lefties who famously doxxed his own donors, got sucked into a hoax from a Twitter bozo claiming to be a member of a Uvalde massacre victim’s family, who was followed home by members of Texas governor Greg Abbott’s team and demanded that they pose in backdrop pictures on behalf of Abbott or they would be prosecuted.

Ricky Gervais doesn’t punch down

Gender ideologues are the real bullies

The curse of the literal-minded strikes again. This time it’s Ricky Gervais’s new stand-up special SuperNature which has sent the congenitally humourless into conniptions. Predictably, Pink News led the charge with a report that disapprovingly quotes the most offending lines. The effect is not dissimilar to Mary Whitehouse reading aloud the contents of an erotic novel; few are likely to be aroused.

‘You Go to the Sound of Gunfire’: Retired Active Shooter Trainer and Border Patrol Special Agent

UVALDE, Texas—Retired Border Patrol special operations agent Jim Volcsko has trained law enforcement officers in active shooter scenarios.

For years he was part of the Border Patrol tactical unit called BORTAC, similar to a SWAT team, in the Uvalde and Del Rio region. His former colleague, an active BORTAC agent, fatally shot the suspect at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on May 24.

Volcsko said an active shooter is one of the most dangerous situations a law enforcement officer can face and he didn’t want to speculate on the specific situation in Uvalde because he wasn’t there, but spoke to his training.

A year ago she was shot in the head. The silence from BLM has been deafening.

Sasha Johnson and the black lives that don’t matter

‘There’s been a wall of silence’, said one local campaigner I spoke to at a vigil dedicated to 28-year-old anti-racism campaigner Sasha Johnson. A year ago, on 23 May 2021, Johnson was brutally shot in the head. The vigil was held earlier this week in London’s Denmark Hill, a short walk from the hospital where Johnson continues to lie in a critical condition, with what have been described as ‘catastrophic and permanent’ injuries to the head. She has two children under the age of 13.

The vigil was small, attended by about 30 people, mainly old-school black-power and black-nationalist groups, such as the Nation of Islam. One group was notably absent: Black Lives Matter.

Our Economic Misery Isn’t an Accident, It’s the Plan

The Left doesn’t want you to be able to drive, buy a home, or enjoy a burger.

Americans can’t afford to buy a used car or even gas because the Left doesn’t want them to drive. They can’t buy homes because the Left wants to destroy the suburbs and force everyone to live in megacities. They have trouble buying meat because the Left wants them to eat soy.

The same is true for the whole exercise in planned economic misery that we’re experiencing.

After Covid, WHO Eyes A New World Order

Get Lance Link on this Monkeypox thing.

A proposed treaty would empower the WHO to declare pandemics whenever it wants and push for exactly the same restrictions endured these past two years.

Monkeypox is being pushed in the media. The World Health Organization is negotiating a pandemic treaty that could impact just about every country around the world, including the U.S. This is the world we live in now (an acceptable one, according to much of the expert class and the scientific technocratic priesthood) as it continues to be reshaped by Big Covid.

‘I carry every day. You can’t depend on anyone,’ say NRA members as America arms up in wake of mass shootings

The national debate around firearms has changed dramatically since Sandy Hook massacre – but so has the demographic of those buying them

Kristen Franke’s “Packin’ Neat” stall was a surprise hit at the National Rifle Association’s usually chest-thumping annual convention.

The women who lined up to enquire after Mrs Franke’s pink leather holsters and leopard-print handbags – designed specifically to conceal handguns – suggested a swift trade.

“I told my husband when we married that ours wouldn’t be a gun household, but that all changed when I became a victim of a crime,” Mrs Franke told The Telegraph of what gave her the inspiration for her bespoke family-run Florida company.

Armed female bystander kills man firing at party in West Virginia

A US woman has fatally shot a man who opened fire on a crowd of people with a semi-automatic rifle in Charleston, West Virginia.

Dennis Butler, a 37-year-old with an extensive criminal history, was killed after he targeted a group of around 40 people attending a birthday party.

Police spokesman Tony Hazelett said the woman’s quick reaction saved lives and may have prevented a mass shooting.

KRAYDEN: WEF stiffs Trudeau at Davos after criticizing his authoritarian ways

Why is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wandering throughout Canada getting heckled when he should be in Davos, Switzerland attending the “Great Reset” deliberations at the World Economic Forum (WEF)? Clearly even the globalists have given up on Trudeau as a credible leader. And as he loses support among new immigrants and blue collar workers, that might be his most loyal constituency.

Ukrainian volunteer fighters in the east feel abandoned

DRUZHKIVKA, Ukraine — Stuck in their trenches, the Ukrainian volunteers lived off a potato per day as Russian forces pounded them with artillery and Grad rockets on a key eastern front line. Outnumbered, untrained and clutching only light weapons, the men prayed for the barrage to end — and for their own tanks to stop targeting the Russians.

“They [Russians] already know where we are, and when the Ukrainian tank shoots from our side it gives away our position,” said Serhi Lapko, their company commander, recalling the recent battle. “And they start firing back with everything — Grads, mortars.

“And you just pray to survive.”
