Professor investigated for criticizing ‘pathetic’ students

A British university professor is under investigation after he called a student walkout, which was staged over a guest speaker’s allegedly racist and transphobic address, “pathetic.”

Professor Tim Luckhurst, who heads Durham University’s South College, made the remark when the students walked out during the controversial speech by right-wing journalist Rod Liddle on Friday. He also reportedly shouted “at South College, we value freedom of speech!”

CNN’s Don Lemon blasted for not mentioning his own key role in Jussie Smollett drama

CNN host Don Lemon is getting blasted for covering his pal Jussie Smollett’s trial on his late-night show — without mentioning his own central role in tipping off the “Empire” star that he was being investigated by police.

As he took the stand Monday, Smollett, 39, had told the court that he first knew that police doubted his race-hate attack was real after getting a text message from Lemon, saying that was key in his decision not to hand his phone records over to cops.

How American Technology Aids China’s Global Ambitions

China – a pioneer of eating dogs and cats in space.

US technology has enabled China to build and successfully test an advanced nuclear-capable hypersonic missile that experts and politicians fear could evade US missile-defense systems, and succeed in striking the US mainland.

“The People’s Liberation Army now has an increasingly credible capability to undermine our missile defenses and threaten the American homeland with both conventional and nuclear strikes,” said Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), member of the House Armed Services Committee. “Even more disturbing is the fact that American technology has contributed to the PLA’s hypersonic missile program.”

The China class at work…

Father of Rust armorer Hannah Reed says gun was sabotaged by disgruntled crew member

The father of the young armorer from Alec Baldwin’s movie Rust says the gun that Alec Baldwin used to kill Halyna Hutchins was ‘sabotaged’ by a disgruntled crew member who wanted to cause a safety incident after having complaints ignored but never intended for anyone to die.

Hannah Gutierrez Reed, 24, was the armorer on the set of the movie on October 21. She says she handed the gun to Assistant Director Dave Halls after checking it, and that he gave it to Baldwin who then accidentally fired it at Hutchins while rehearsing a scene.

We are Wet’suwet’en and the Coastal GasLink pipeline protesters do not represent us

We are members of the Gidimt’en Clan of the Wet’suwet’en Nation, together with extended family members from other Wet’suwet’en house groups and communities, both on- and off-reserve. Our clan territories include the area where the Coastal GasLink pipeline crosses the river we call Wedzin Kwa. We are deeply hurt and angered by the conduct and statements of some of our community members and others who claim to be defending our lands and laws against the pipeline.

TDSB hates on Jewish Trustee for calling out Islamist anti-semitism

Toronto school officials censure trustee who sounded alarm on anti-Semitic materials

(December 6, 2021 / JNS) A Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustee who raised concerns on Twitter last spring about a “manual” sent to teachers that included anti-Semitic messages was recommended for “censure.”

The recommendation was issued on Thursday against trustee Alexandra Lulka by Integrity Commissioner Suzanne Craig, who in her report also found that the materials Lulka complained about did, in fact, contain some anti-Semitic writings and promoted terrorism.

The lunatics rule at the TDSB asylum. Homeschool.

Spy agency warned Trudeau China’s tactics becoming more ‘sophisticated … insidious’ … Then Justin called CSIS racist

As Canada’s spy agency warns that China’s efforts to distort the news and influence media outlets in Canada “have become normalized,” critics are renewing calls for Ottawa to take a far tougher approach to foreign media interference.

The warning is contained in briefing documents drafted for Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director David Vigneault in preparation for a meeting he had with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this year.

That meeting focused on the rise of foreign interference in Canada — something CSIS says has become “more sophisticated, frequent, and insidious.”

I bet Justin got mad at CSIS and called them racist.

Ontario reports 928 new Covid cases … and majority supports closing the border to virus hotspots

Ontario reports 928 new COVID-19 cases; highest test positivity in six months

Ontario reported 928 new COVID-19 cases and nine additional deaths on Tuesday, with labs seeing the highest test positivity rate recorded in the province since the end of May.

The seven-day rolling average of new cases now stands at 975, up from 940 yesterday and 794 one week ago.

Most Canadians support strong border measures amid new Omicron COVID-19 variant: poll

Since the announced detection of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, a new poll suggests Canadians are bracing for the worst.

More than four in five respondents to an online survey by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies said they support closing the Canadian border to travellers coming from specific countries where the variant is already present.

In response to the detection of Omicron, Canada quickly put in place travel measures, including banning visitors who have recently travelled through 10 African countries, to curb the spread.

I hope Justin calls out their racism!

Chicago is what happens when a culture loses its moral grounding

Chicago’s Loop encompasses the city’s central business district, which is also the second largest commercial business district in America (or so Wikipedia tells me), filled with restaurants, offices, retail stores, hotels, and historic attractions. It lies at the heart of Cook County, the same county that elected Kim Foxx, the Soros-designated district attorney who doesn’t believe in prosecuting crime. When you couple Foxx’s aversion to enforcing the law with generations of people who have grown up without any moral grounding, you get a weekend in the loop complete with beatings, a shooting, and general misbehavior.

Immigration Isn’t the Issue — National Identity Is

An acute sense of the dilution of national identity makes immigration different from most public-policy matters.

Among the species that populate the American political marshland, we are paying too much attention to the youngest. Pollsters were first sighted at the end of the previous century, but this non-native kind has since proliferated. Earlier this year, when the journalists (indigenous animals, by comparison) turned to the focusing event at the southern border that is still occurring, Echelon Insights and Morning Consult found immigration to be the principal issue for conservatives. Now, it is second in salience to “the economy” — a term that can mean everything and nothing — and ahead of national security. Assuming all survey respondents make the same distinctions between these overlapping concepts, what might they mean by immigration that isn’t an economic or security concern? Market research cannot reassemble a puzzle it has itself scattered.

America Hates You. Now Go Fight For Her

One thing I picked up is that these people — all of whom seemed to be conservative Evangelicals — are hearing the same thing that I am, over and over: that the US military is no longer a place for political, social, and/or religious conservatives. That wokeness is driving people like us out. I mentioned in these conversations that I have been hearing via e-mail and in personal conversations from active-duty or recently retired armed forces members (including officers), all saying the same thing. Many of the Coloradans with whom I spoke said yes, they are hearing the same thing too, and that they are discouraging their kids from considering military service until and unless the military returns to what it was before wokeness conquered the Pentagon.
