Maskaholics

Wearing a mask may still give some people a sense of security, but they could breathe more easily if they’d face the facts.

The pandemic has eased, but not the compulsion of many Americans to cover their faces. Fully vaccinated adults are still wearing masks on their solitary walks outdoors, and officials have been enforcing mask mandates on airline passengers and on some city-dwellers and students.

‘Treasure Trove’: GOP Investigator Says House Republicans Have Hunter Biden’s Laptop

Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said that “we have the laptop,” and “in the meantime, we’re investigating.” Issa described the findings on the laptop as a “treasure trove” before saying that “we’re going to need a special prosecutor” to look into other allegations about Biden’s business dealings in various countries, including China.

On the laptop is “direct communication between [President Joe Biden] and his son,” “a good dive into how sick and vulnerable Hunter Biden was,” and “some of the things he did,” Issa said, adding that there were photos on the hard drive that allegedly showed the younger Biden’s “drug stash.”

The Testosterone Hangover

The Biden administration says transgender kids are entitled to ‘gender-affirming’ medical care. These girls disagree. ‘I have this intense rage in me over the harm that was done to me.’

When Chloe woke up from an elective double mastectomy, she texted her mother in the waiting room: “Booba gone.”

This was a little over two years ago. She was 15 at the time. “The typo was intentional,” she told me recently. “I thought it was funny.”

“Is that a good thing?” her mom replied.

“Yes,” Chloe texted back.

“I don’t think that answer aged well,” she said to me.

Swedish Municipal Leaders Choose Submission To Islam

Municipalities wrote letters to the police: Stop Paludan

After the violent riots, two municipalities have appealed to the police not to give Rasmus Paludan new permits for Koran burning.

During the Easter weekend, the Danish politician Rasmus Paludan had received a police permit to carry out Koran burning in several cities: Linköping, Jönköping, Norrköping , Malmö, Örebro and Stockholm.

In several cities, this led to violent riots in which 16 policemen were injured.

Olle Vikmång (S), chairman of the municipal board in Norrköping, condemned both Paludan’s demonstration and the violent riots in the Navestad district on Good Friday.

– I feel disgust for the messages that Paludan conveys. But it gives no right to resort to violence against the police and rescue services and to burn cars, injure, threaten and scare people, he says.

Rex Murphy: You could drive an 18-wheeler through our Charter of Rights and Freedoms

The year 2022 is not a good one for celebrating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We mark the 40th anniversary of that celebrated instrument this week. Over the years it has been held up as the very jewel of the Canadian Constitution. The one great bulwark for every single citizen’s civic integrity. The very banner of Canadian democracy. The text of our liberties. A great, invulnerable wall against the encroachments of government on the day-to-day lives of Canadians.

Canada’s Magna Carta.

Police scout for pro-Russia collaborators in eastern Ukraine

Officers in Donetsk say spies pass on coordinates or photographs of targets via Telegram in exchange for cash

Oleksandr Malish, the patrol police chief for the cities of Kramatorsk and Slovyansk in the Donetsk region, is reluctant to call people suspected of collaborating with Russia Ukrainians.

“I cannot even call these people Ukrainians, even though they have Ukrainian passports and were born here and lived here all their lives,” said Malish. “These are not professional spies who were trained in Moscow and sent here.”

WAPO draws attention to left wing lunatics in failed hit piece on Libs of TikTok

This comes to us via Twitchy – Serial troll and all-around harpy from Hell Taylor Lorenz doxxes @LibsOfTikTok not even a MONTH after weepy appearance on MSNBC playing the victim

Meet the woman behind Libs of TikTok, secretly fueling the right’s outrage machine

On March 8, a Twitter account called Libs of TikTok posted a video of a woman teaching sex education to children in Kentucky, calling the woman in the video a “predator.” The next evening, the same clip was featured on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program, prompting the host to ask, “When did our public schools, any schools, become what are essentially grooming centers for gender identity radicals?”

Libs of TikTok reposts a steady stream of TikTok videos and social media posts, primarily from LGBTQ+ people, often including incendiary framing designed to generate outrage. Videos shared from the account quickly find their way to the most influential names in right-wing media. The account has emerged as a powerful force on the Internet, shaping right-wing media, impacting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and influencing millions by posting viral videos aimed at inciting outrage among the right.

At 8:15 almost every evening I post a Libs of TikTok vid. She does us an invaluable favour by watching the loons in all their glory and providing us the highlights. Anyone who has seen the vids knows how central to the left are the outright demented.

I guess when you’re owned by one of the world’s plutocrats there is nothing to be done but punch down.

Check out Libs twitter feed, worth your while.

Steven Del Duca Announces Liberals Will Ban Handguns Provincewide

Steven Del Duca

TORONTO – An Ontario Liberal government will ban handguns across the province in its first year in office, Ontario Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca announced today in his party’s latest platform plank release.

“I’ve had it with Doug Ford’s open for business policy for guns.” Del Duca said, “The Ford Conservatives are putting the interests of the gun lobby ahead of the Ontario victims of gun crime they swore an oath to protect. The result is handgun violence is spiraling out of control. The choice on handguns is clear, more handguns and gun crime under the Ford Conservatives or a ban on handguns under the Ontario Liberals.”
