Canadian Medical Association Journal caves to Islamist cult and retracts letter that correctly describes the Hijab as a symbol of oppression

Canadian Medical Association Journal retracts controversial hijab letter

Child abuse

The Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) has retracted and formally apologized for a letter it recently published about the hijab following calls from multiple organizations and individuals.

Interim editor-in-chief of the CMAJ, Dr. Kirsten Patrick, apologized on Thursday for publishing the letter, which she said “did not contain appropriate subject matter for publication” and “disgusted many readers across Canada.”

The letter, published on Dec. 20 with the headline “Don’t use an instrument of oppression as a symbol of diversity and inclusion,” was written by Montreal pediatric surgeon Dr. Sherif Emil in response to the CMAJ’s use of an image last month of two young girls, one of whom is wearing a hijab, that accompanied a piece on social interventions in primary care.

Satellite images show Russia still building up forces near Ukraine

Dec 24 (Reuters) – New satellite images captured by a private U.S. company show that Russia has continued to build up its forces in annexed Crimea and near Ukraine in recent weeks while pressing the United States for talks over security guarantees it is seeking.

Reuters could not independently verify the latest images from U.S.-based Maxar Technologies. The Kremlin reiterated on Friday that it reserves the right to move its own forces on Russian territory as it sees fit and that Western countries were carrying out provocative military manoeuvres near its borders.

Mainstream Jewish groups need to understand that interfaith dialogue legitimized CAIR

A CAIR leader’s anti-Semitic rant was shocking. Yet despite efforts to shift the narrative, the truth about the group that claims to represent Muslims has long been known.

Perhaps some people were shocked when a leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) recently engaged in an epic rant against Jews, their synagogues and their organizations. Zahra Billoo is the executive director of the group’s San Francisco branch and a former leader of the anti-Trump “resistance” Women’s March. But when she told a conference convened by the radical anti-Israel American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) that they should shun mainstream groups like the Anti-Defamation League, Jewish Federations and Hillel, the Jewish establishment reacted angrily.

Putin comments on transgender rights

Russia should import concepts from the rest of the world, such as the best technological and economic ideas, but it should reject the view that men and women are the same thing, Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed.

Speaking to journalists at his annual end-of-year press conference, Putin also said that the West has distorted views on transexual rights, and these issues are making their way to Russia due to the internet.

Sad when tyrants speak more sense than Trudeau.

Biden’s Global Challenges

President Joe Biden’s foreign policy seems unfortunately to consist of abandoning allies, emboldening adversaries, and placing our national security at great risk. Biden’s Afghanistan surrender to the Taliban was a strategic failure with enormous global consequences that humiliated the nation and cost countless lives. Unfortunately, Afghanistan is now the “lens” through which to see the Biden administration’s feeble foreign policy.

Looking ahead, the proposed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is woefully inadequate in addressing ongoing Chinese aggression — not just towards Taiwan but on all geopolitical fronts.

San Francisco’s woke city leaders blast Mayor London Breed’s plan to clean up crime-ridden Tenderloin because ‘it will flood the streets with cops’

Woke San Francisco leaders have hit out at Mayor London Breed’s planned crackdown on the city’s crime-ridden Tenderloin neighborhood because her idea will flood the area with cops.

San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen and the city’s infamous woke DA Chesa Boudin were among those moaning about Breed’s new plan, which will see people caught abusing drugs on the streets incarcerated if they refuse treatment for their addictions.

‘I believe that we should all be marshaling every resource we have in this city to address that crisis,’ said Supervisor Hillary Ronen.

‘He was either going to be imprisoned, kill someone, or be killed.’ How Daunte Wright led a life of crime & violence before his death and shot a friend in the head, broke into a neighbor’s home, and robbed a woman at gunpoint

Before Daunte Wright was shot and killed by Minnesota police officer Kim Potter, he terrorized his local neighborhood for several years, leaving victims and their families with a lifetime’s worth of trauma and suffering.

Through court records and interviews with the victims, DailyMail.com can exclusively report that Wright had led a life of crime and violence before his death, having been involved in the shooting of two of his school friends, a home burglary, and had previously assaulted and robbed a young woman at gunpoint.

Wright, 20, was shot dead on April 11 after officer Kim Potter reached for her gun instead of her taser during a botched traffic stop in Brooklyn Center.

‘Let’s Go Brandon’: Kid’s Dad Trolls Biden During Santa Tracker Call — And Biden Responds

President Joe Biden spent part of his day Friday taking calls from children about their Christmas wishes on the special line dedicated to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)’s Santa Tracker, and one child’s father reportedly ended their call with the phrase “Let’s go Brandon.”

President Biden, according to CNN White House correspondent Jeremy Diamond, replied, “Let’s go Brandon, I agree.”

He’s clearly not all there.
