House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been branded a hypocrite for attending the lavish wedding of billionaire oil heiress Ivy Getty over the weekend without a mask — while children in California are being made to wear them in the state’s schools.
Pelosi (D-Calif.), who officiated the ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, faced backlash on social media after photos of her mingling with other maskless wedding guests were published by Vogue on Tuesday.
History accelerates on the banks of the Rhine, the river that waters the heart of Europe. as Islam moves forward.
When Pastor Klemens Müller looked out the window last week, he couldn’t believe his eyes. A young Afghan was literally emptying his Frauenberg church in Nordhausen. The Afghan, who has lived in Germany for five years, dragged chairs out, emptied the altar, tore up religious and organ music books and did not stop at the cross, which he mutilated. The shattered symbol, Die Welt says, had been saved from the rubble after the bombing of Nordhausen in World War II. It resisted the bombs, not Europe’s masochism.
It is ironic that the vandalized church belongs to the German Lutheran Church (EKD), which is one of the largest boat donors to NGOs in the Mediterranean such as Sea Watch, one of the organizations that bring migrants to Europe.
‘OK’ gesture gets Hamilton high school student kicked out of co-op placement
She says it was an “OK” sign.
Others say it was a symbol of white supremacy.
Though the discrepancy was never resolved, a high school student was kicked out of her hospital co-op placement after flashing the gesture in a social media photo.
“It wasn’t meant to be racist and it wouldn’t happen again,” says Megan Breeze, a Grade 12 student at Sherwood Secondary. “I thought it means ‘OK.’ Like a thumbs-up sign.”
Garbage decision by garbage people.
The White House has no plans to shut down a disputed Great Lakes pipeline that brings some 500,000 barrels of crude oil from Canada into the U.S. each day, a spokeswoman said Nov. 9.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ordered the Line 5 pipeline to be shut down last year.
She said the Calgary-based company that operates it, Enbridge, violated an easement granted decades ago to run a section along state-owned land below the straits of Mackinac.
There is no proposal or deal to form a formal Liberal-NDP coalition government when the House of Commons returns later this month, says NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.
During a media availability on Tuesday, Singh was asked about social media posts and comments put out by Conservatives over recent days that suggested a Liberal-NDP coalition was in the works.
More media bullshit, as if this isn’t going to happen.
The NDP and LPC are informally joined at the hip and Canada will soon be Venezuela. Trudeau’s she-media have collectively decided to gas-light us and focus on O’Toole:
The Star – Erin O’Toole is using an imaginary Liberal-NDP alliance to hide his own problems
CBC – Those rumours of a Liberal-NDP deal came at the right time for Erin O’Toole
Ontario reports 454 new COVID-19 cases, 9 more deaths
Ontario is reporting more than 400 new COVID-19 cases today and nine more virus-related deaths as the average daily case count exceeds 500 for the first time in weeks.
Provincial health officials are reporting 454 new cases today, up from 441 on Tuesday and 378 one week ago.
STUDIN: Ontario’s medical officers of health must resign
Most of Ontario’s regional medical health officers must resign by Christmas.
The province’s catastrophe of systems is that grave, and our children and young people have been betrayed.
On Monday, the prosecution’s case against an Illinois teen, 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, collapsed with a confounding unforced error. Watching the trial unfold, I now believe that a key witness’s calm, revelatory description of events, ensured Rittenhouse’s acquittal on five of the six charges in the controversial case.
The Kenosha saga began with the police shooting of knife-wielding Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 23, 2020. Following three days of fiery protests and property destruction, Rittenhouse, then a 17-year-old minor, traveled across state lines, armed with a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle provided by a friend.
The prosecutors are some real pieces of💩.

In just over a week, several western European countries have seen incidents of violence, including an attack on police officers in France on Monday by an Algerian migrant yelling “Allahu Akbar.”
Since the end of October European states Italy, France and Germany have all seen violence perpetrated by men from migrant backgrounds, and in some cases, attackers professing “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is Great” as they struck.
Stung by allegations that its troops trained neo-Nazis in Ukraine, Canada’s defense department has launched a review into the vetting process on its “mentoring” and “capacity building” programs for foreign military personnel.
In response to the bombshell accusations, defense department spokesman Dan Le Bouthillier revealed that an internal review had begun last month that will “look holistically at all missions” where the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are involved with foreign military personnel.
As Kyle Rittenhouse’s prosecutors go into their grand facepalms, following the trial revelation from their star witness that just supported the 17-year-old murder defendant’s claim to self-defense, it’s pretty obvious the wretched case is now over. AT deputy editor Andrea Widburg has an excellent post today on that here.
The short story here is that the kid was beset by Antifa thugs during the Kenosha, Wisconsin arson-and-looting riots last summer and ended up killing a couple of menacing Antifa-linked thugs who seemed to be trying to kill him first. The argument stands up, and even the guy who’d been aiming the gun at Rittenhouse at close quarters admitted it. The case obviously should have never been brought to trial, and the kid should not have been held in jail, been subject to a Red Queen–style trial by press, nor held up as a pariah in the months that followed. These prosecutors had no case whatsoever and are now on record as junk prosecutors who bring trash cases premised on the direction of the political winds. The kid should be acquitted promptly.
Everyone is worried about “Islamophobia”: New Jersey’s unlikeliest new state senator-elect just apologized for criticizing Islam; Muslim leaders in Canada want the Ontario government to be more proactive against “Islamophobia”; and a mosque leader in London recently charged that Muslim women in Britain live in fear of “racism.” Meanwhile, in Pakistan several days ago, Muslims fired upon Christians in an attempt to seize their lands; in Nigeria, Muslims kidnapped over one hundred Christians; and in Egypt, two Muslim brothers murdered a Christian shopkeeper because of his faith. The Muslim persecution of Christians has rarely been as virulent or widespread as it is today, yet it gets little attention. That’s why a new book by Casey Chalk, The Persecuted: True Stories of Courageous Christians Living Their Faith in Muslim Lands (Sophia Institute Press), is a breath of fresh air and a welcome dose of realism in an international public discourse increasingly dominated by sloganeering and propaganda.
A small squad of soldiers with about a half-dozen trucks and sandbag emplacements stands guard on a rural highway in western Mexico. In one direction, almost within earshot, one drug cartel operates a roadblock extorting farmers. In the other direction, a rival cartel carries out armed patrols in trucks bearing its initials.
The Mexican army has largely stopped fighting drug cartels here, instead soldiers guard the dividing lines between gang territories so they won’t invade each other’s turf – and turn a blind eye to the cartels’ illegal activities just a few hundred yards away.
At the first roadblock, set up by the Viagras gang that has long dominated the state of Michoacán, a truck stands parked across the highway and stacked sandbags protect cartel gunmen.
If the dramatic images of hundreds of migrants massed together on the Polish border, facing off against a wall of Polish soldiers and border guards, don’t already underline that the Merkel era is over, Germany’s response surely should. The line among Germany’s political class now seems to be that 2015 was the right thing to do, and must never be repeated…
If you liked the Steele Dossier, you’ll love the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
After campaigns to censor “election misinformation”, and “medical misinformation”, the latest wave of the censorship campaign calls for banning “climate misinformation” from the internet.
A report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate warns of the free speech threat from, “climate disinformation, including articles that undermine the existence or impacts of climate change or misrepresent data in ways that might erode trust in climate science experts.”
And nothing builds trust like eliminating dissent.
Young people are told their lives are over before they’ve even begun.
As COP26 demonstrates, the politics of fear is everywhere today. Governments rely on it to encourage citizens to act. And activists exploit it to highlight the supposed urgency of their cause.
All this fear-mongering, however, is having a profound effect on the mindset of teenagers today. It has filled us with fear and guilt, and it has exacerbated our sense of insecurity.
