Pope OK’s communion despite Biden abortion stance

Pope: No place for politics in Biden Communion flap

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis said Wednesday that Catholic bishops must minister with “compassion and tenderness,” not condemnation, to politicians who support abortion rights and warned that clerics shouldn’t let politics enter into questions about receiving Communion.

Francis was asked en route home from Slovakia about the debate in the U.S. church about whether President Joe Biden and other politicians should be denied Communion because of their stances on abortion. U.S. bishops have agreed to draft a “teaching document” that many of them hope will rebuke Catholic politicians, including Biden, for receiving Communion despite their support for abortion rights.

“Aboard the Papal plane?” This is the same guy who lectures us about Global warming.

Canada left out of new American-led security alliance thanks to Xi’s butt licker Trudeau

The United States is starting a new partnership on defence and security issues and Canada is not involved.

The new alliance called AUKUS, a play on the names of the countries involved, will be focused on being a counterbalance to China.

“Through AUKUS, our governments will strengthen the ability of each to support our security and defense interests, building on our longstanding and ongoing bilateral ties,” a joint statement said.

Goodness China is angry, Justin is sad.

Aukus: China denounces ‘irresponsible’ US-UK-Australia pact

China has denounced a historic security pact between the US, UK and Australia, describing the alliance as “extremely irresponsible” and “narrow minded”.

The Aukus pact, which was announced on Wednesday, will see the US and UK provide Australia with the technology to build nuclear-powered submarines.

It is being widely viewed as an effort to counter China’s influence in the contested South China Sea.

The region has been a flashpoint for years and tensions there remain high.

On Thursday, Chinese Foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the newly-announced alliance risked “severely damaging regional peace… and intensifying the arms race”.

Feted with petals, Hezbollah brings Iranian fuel into Lebanon

AL-AIN, Lebanon, Sept 16 (Reuters) – Hezbollah began bringing Iranian fuel into Lebanon via Syria on Thursday, a move the Shi’ite Muslim group says should ease a crippling energy crisis but which opponents say risks provoking U.S. sanctions.

Dozens of truck carrying Iranian fuel oil entered northeastern Lebanon near the village of al-Ain, where Hezbollah’s yellow flag fluttered from lampposts.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative: Bad News for Human Rights

A new report, “Underwater: Human Rights Impacts of a China Belt and Road Project in Cambodia,” has found that one of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects in Cambodia — a hydroelectric dam known as the Lower Sesan 2, completed in 2018 — resulted in severe human rights violations. The project displaced nearly 5,000 mainly indigenous people and ethnic minorities, who had lived in villages along the Sesan and Srepok Rivers for generations, earning a living from fishing and agriculture. The project, the report estimates, negatively affected the lives of tens of thousands of other locals, who depend on fishing in the rivers for food and income. The project compromised locals’ food security, and their losses were either inadequately compensated or not compensated at all. The Lower Sesan 2 is just one out of seven BRI hydroelectric projects in Cambodia.

President 10% defends treasonous Milley given ‘context,’ Joint Chiefs affirm calls to China

President 10% defends treasonous Milley given ‘context,’ Joint Chiefs affirm calls to China

President Biden is standing by Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, despite accusations he committed treason during the final weeks of the Trump administration by reassuring his Chinese counterpart that then-President Trump would not attack Beijing.

“I have great confidence in Gen. Milley,” Biden responded to reporters on Wednesday, moments after press secretary Jen Psaki appeared to excuse Milley’s alleged conduct as acceptable in the “context of this period and time in history” given that he did so while Trump was in his final days as commander in chief and amid the backdrop of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Candidates Standing Up for Rights in China Targeted During Election Campaign

Election candidates who have taken positions against the Chinese regime’s human rights infractions and interference operations are finding themselves targets of efforts to rob them of votes, such as smear campaigns, candidates and activists say.

Conservative candidate Kenny Chiu, who is seeking re-election in the B.C. riding of Steveston–Richmond East, says he has been a target of misinformation against him in previous election campaigns, but this year “it has been exceptional.”

Vance is 99% match with child born after he said Brennan relationship ended: paternity test

The probability that retired Gen. Jonathan Vance fathered one child with Maj. Kellie Brennan — years after he said their sexual relationship ended — is more than 99 per cent, according to the results of a paternity test shared with Global News.

The test taken by Vance analyzed the genetic material from him and one of the children alleged by Brennan to be his, and found the probability of Vance’s paternity of the child to be just shy of 100 per cent.

‘Lock him up’: Anger behind Trudeau protesters existed before Trump, experts say

“Lock him up.”

No, this wasn’t chanted at a rally of former U.S. president Donald Trump, but by protesters at a campaign event of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.

While the words may be the same, experts say the anger expressed at some Liberal rallies is not necessarily directly influenced by events in the U.S., but reflect a simmering resentment that has existed even before Trump.

O’Toole wants this election to be a referendum on Trudeau. Trudeau needs voters to see a stark choice.

The outcome of another odd and surprising federal election may depend on whether voters see this exercise as a referendum or a choice.

Speaking to reporters in Kanata, Ont., on Monday, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole called the election a “choice.” But then he spoke of it as a referendum on the incumbent.

This election, he said, is “about whether or not we want to reward Justin Trudeau for breaking his promise and calling an unnecessary $600 million election in the middle of a pandemic “

Stark choice? Mush tastes the same served in any bowl.

FUREY: Durham Region mandates contact tracing for gatherings in people’s homes

If you thought your home was the one place where you could relax without worrying about getting fined over pandemic rules, think again.

York Region has also implemented contact tracing for private get togethers and I believe Peel may be doing the same.

Dire warning from Newsom helped turn California recall tide

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An ominous four-word message issued by California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s campaign on the morning of Aug. 5 served as the shock Democrats needed to take seriously a recall election that could remove him from office: “This recall is close.”

Newsom’s warning in a fundraising email came just days after a poll indicated the once-popular Democratic governor who was elected in a 2018 landslide was facing the unthinkable prospect of losing his job in a state that hadn’t elected a Republican in a statewide race in 15 years.

“Equity Consultant” Resigns NDP candidacy after posting pandemic era anti-Semitic blood libel

NDP whatever

An NDP candidate in a key Toronto riding is under fire after appearing to invent and then spread a conspiracy theory about Israel and COVID-19 vaccines.

Sidney Coles, an equity consultant running for the party in Toronto-St. Paul’s, repeatedly claimed on Twitter that Israel was somehow responsible for missing doses of COVID-19 vaccine in the United States last winter.

The other NDP weirdo who resigned is talked about here.

In related news … Our predatory public service unions will give Trudeau the win. 

We are serfs.
