US to give humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, Taliban say

The United States has agreed to provide humanitarian aid to a desperately poor Afghanistan on the brink of an economic disaster, but refused to give political recognition to the country’s new rulers, the Taliban said on Sunday.

The statement came at the end of the first direct talks between the former foes since the chaotic withdrawal of US troops at the end of August.

The US statement was less definitive, saying only that the two sides “discussed the United States’ provision of robust humanitarian assistance, directly to the Afghan people”.

Look closely, Trudeau’s ‘mandatory’ vax policy isn’t what it seems

The Trudeau government’s mandatory vaccine policy for federal civil servants is like its supposed mandatory hotel quarantine for international travellers last spring.

By that, I mean it is tough talk that amounts to nothing. The vaccine policy exempts tens of thousands of civil servants and will do very little to protect Canadians from COVID-19.

China suck up Trudeau urged to join allies in tougher China stance after Kovrig, Spavor release

… Some analysts saw hints of a potentially tougher approach in what appeared to be a throwaway line in a congratulatory note that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent to his new Japanese counterpart, Fumio Kishida, this past week.

Trudeau twice used the label “Indo-Pacific” to stress the importance of co-operating with Japan on shared regional interests.

For some observers, that was a signal that Canada was moving toward a tougher posture toward future relations with China.

Justin will look out for the interests of the China class.

COVID-19 outbreak in B.C. Indigenous community fuels concerns over waning protective benefits of vaccines

The remote B.C. community of Maaqtusiis, home to the Ahousaht Nation, has been in lockdown for two weeks because of COVID-19. The schools have been closed, non-essential travel to and from the community has been prohibited, and families have been asked not to mingle with other households.

Unlike many Indigenous communities in British Columbia where vaccination rates are below the provincial average, the Ahousaht enthusiastically welcomed a team of public-health nurses who arrived with the Moderna vaccine on Jan. 6. The outbreak adds to growing concerns that the protective benefits of the vaccines may be waning.

Green Policies Return the World to Coal

There’s scarcely a place in the modern world which will not be feeling the high cost and discomfort of a shortage of energy supplies and their increasingly soaring prices. Lebanon already is. Due to a shortage of oil, the two power plants that supply 40% of that country’s electricity shut down. There is no electricity in Lebanon and will not be any for some days.

California Takeout: When China Enjoyed Free Rein in the Clinton ’90s

El Monte, CA

Since my first investigative piece on China’s commercial and intelligence operations in March 1995[1], I had published a half-dozen magazine-length articles in The American Spectator that exposed China’s U.S. networks. Some of these involved Chinese intelligence operations to fund the political campaigns of Bill Clinton. Others focused on Chinese investments on Wall Street or money-laundering. I became fascinated by the sheer number of Chinese front companies I was starting to unearth in Southern California. Many of them were engaged in real estate investing, and turned out to be secret bolt holes for the Princelings, the wealthy children and relatives of top Communist Party officials. Others were not-so-secretly stealing U.S. military technology.

Australia, the world’s worst at coping with Covid

ALL the Covid hysteria around most of the democratic world, and especially in Britain, New York State, Canada and here in Australia, is driven by two main things. The first problem is that many people haven’t got a clue about what the relative risks are. Ask them what they think their chances of dying would be should they catch Covid and most get this massively wrong – a good few get the odds wrong by two orders of magnitude (answering 30 per cent when at most it’s about 0.3 per cent). And we’re talking about one’s chances of dying before being vaccinated.

Bill Maher slams the ‘gang’ who followed Kyrsten Simena into a bathroom and tells progressives their demand for ‘everything’ is the reason ‘they’re not bringing anything home’

Real Time host Bill Maher has slammed the ‘gang’ of activists who followed Senator Kyrsten Simena into a bathroom and hit out at progressive Democrats for ‘not bringing anything home’ because they are demanding ‘everything’ with the infrastructure bill.

Maher sparred with rapper Killer Mike – real name Michael Render – and Washington Post reporter Robert Costa as they joined him as panelists on his show Friday night.

The host blasted the ‘outrageous’ incident last weekend when Senator Sinema was followed into a bathroom and hounded by progressive activists at Arizona State University.

China is using the climate as a bargaining chip

For reasons that are not clear, western environmentalists are mad keen on China, despite its appetite for coal

China’s President Xi Jinping has apparently not yet decided whether to travel to Glasgow next month for the big climate conference known as COP26. That is no doubt partly because he’s heard about the weather in Glasgow in November, and partly because he knows the whole thing will be a waste of his time. After all, the fact that it is the 26th such meeting and none of the previous 25 solved the problem they set out to solve suggests the odds are that the event will be the flop on the Clyde.

Trudeau has turned Canada into an insular country with little power to affect foreign affairs

Seattle’s vaccine mandate may soon result in up to 40% of already gutted police force being fired

The city of Seattle, Washington, recently established a vaccine mandate for all city employees, which includes police, with a deadline of October 18th – or face possible termination of employment.
