The events in Wisconsin’s Kenosha and Waukesha offer useful perspectives on a recent clash between pundits Andrew Sullivan and Jonathan V. Last of The Bulwark over the accuracy of the news media. Sullivan argues that the press makes numerous errors, while Last suggests that they get almost all matters of fact correct.
From the EU to the Cabinet Office, our elites really are uneasy about the C-word.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without news reports that some institution has ‘banned Christmas’, or eschewed any mention of it, for fear of offending non-believers and ethnic minorities. So, right on cue, a headline in the Mail on Sunday read: ‘Now Whitehall’s woke “blob” tries to ban Christmas: Ministers are warned using the word in festive jab drive will offend minorities.’
It wouldn’t be Christmas, either, without the haughty retort that stories of ‘Christmas being banned’ are typical right-wing nonsense, invariably peddled by the Daily Mail. In response to the Mail report, the HuffPost said that any attempts to ban the C-word were undertaken by the Cabinet Office, and not the ‘woke’ civil service, as the Mail had claimed. ‘Versions of this story traditionally come around every Christmas’, sighed the HuffPost, ‘but this year it manages to shoehorn in the term “woke”
The parents of the teenage suspect in a Michigan high school shooting have been arrested following a short manhunt and face an uncertain future with authorities charging them for the actions of their clearly disturbed son, a development that could have far-reaching implications in terms of the law.
James and Jennifer Crumbley have been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter after 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley went on a rampage at Oxford High School on Tuesday, claiming the lives of four of his fellow students in another of the tragic school shootings that have plagued the nation for years.
The first week of Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking trial began with media from all over the world camped out in front of the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan waiting to get a glimpse of the British socialite.
Maxwell, the former girlfriend of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein , is accused of recruiting and grooming girls, one as young as 14, to have sex with Epstein and his high-profile roster of friends.
It’s the holiday season again and time to decide where to shop based on people’s skin color — or so says Black Lives Matter.
The group for the seventh year is urging people to boycott stores owned by White people and only to patronize Black-owned businesses.
“When buying items, spend exclusively with Black-owned businesses from Black Friday through New Year,” the group said on its website and Instagram promoting its annual #BuyBlack campaign.
Actor Adam Baldwin is unsparing in his assessment of how fellow actor Alec Baldwin (no relation) shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a vintage gun on the set of his latest movie. And Alec Baldwin made it worse in his damage-control interview with ABC News this week when he blamed his victim for directing him to shoot her.
There are three things you can be sure of in life — death, taxes and that the federal Liberals will miss their next target on climate change.
After all, they’ve been doing it going back to 1993.
Pope Francis has used a trip to Greece to hit out at Europe for the divisions it has exhibited over migration while also warning against the perils of populism.
In Athens, on the second leg of a Mediterranean tour that has highlighted the plight of migrants and refugees, the pontiff also expressed concern over democracy’s retreat globally. Greece has long been on the frontline of the refugee crisis.
“The European community, torn by nationalist self-interest, rather than being the engine of solidarity, appears at times blocked and uncoordinated,” he said in an address at Greece’s presidential palace on Saturday.
“In the past ideological conflicts prevented the building of bridges between eastern and western Europe; today the issue of migration has led to breaches between south and north as well.”
Frankie’s scolding shows he is just another out of touch member of the well insulated elite that doesn’t have to personally deal with the consequences of his screeds.
OTTAWA-Canada-US relations are again at a critical turning point as a major Canadian political and trade delegation left Capitol Hill Friday with nothing in hand.
No withdrawal of a proposed cut for electric cars that would deeply hurt Canada’s auto industry.
No move on plans to double US tariffs on Canadian softwood.
No synchronization of border measures against COVID-19 variants.
No change in a new dispute over whether Canada’s potato exports are safe in the eyes of U.S. regulators.
The US under President Joe Biden plans to rebuild better. It’s just planning to do it without help from or favorite for Canada, thank you.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been fired in the wake of revelations he secretly aided the defense of his embattled brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — and the network said it is probing new information on “Fredo.”
“This is not how I want my time at CNN to end,” Chris Cuomo said in a statement.
“But I have already told you why and how I helped my brother,” he continued.
CNN confirmed the firing and said that Cuomo had been “terminated … effective immediately” as an outside law firm continues to investigate “his involvement with his brother’s defense.”
ERIC Zemmour’s decision to run for the presidency of France means immigration will be a headline election issue forcing all the political parties to take a public position. This is potentially explosive in a continent where governments have long been at loggerheads with their electorates over the mass influx of migrants.
Zemmour, a polemical journalist and author of books railing against immigration and its threat to French values and traditions, doesn’t expect to defeat President Macron in the May 2022 election. His objective is to force the Parisian establishment to take account of the disregarded populist Right who are 35 per cent of the electorate. Like him, they believe the real purpose of immigration, hidden from them by their elites, is to replace the French people with migrants. He calls it The Great Replacement.
Billionaire Democrat donor George Soros has bankrolled District Attorneys in America’s most crime ravaged cities, where criminals are being allowed to walk out of jail on low cash bonds or aren’t even being charged.
Soros, the most prolific Democratic donor, is most known for giving to Presidents Clinton and Obama but he has also been pumping money into a far-left effort to overhaul the criminal justice system by giving millions to a network of woke prosecutors in Democratic races.
Among them is Kim Foxx, the State’s Attorney for Cook County, Chicago, where murder is at its highest in nearly 30 years.
The iPhones of at least nine US state department officials were recently hacked by a government using NSO Group spyware, according to a new report that raised serious questions about the use of Israeli surveillance tools against US government officials around the world.
The claim, which was reported by Reuters, comes just weeks after the Biden administration placed NSO on a US blacklist and said the surveillance company acted “contrary to the foreign policy and national security interests of the US”.
