Too many jihadis treat rehabilitation with contempt
Can terrorists be “deprogrammed”? It is one of the most daunting and complex questions facing European states today, and one of the most urgent. Just a few years ago, over 40,000 people from 80 different countries were attracted to Islamic State’s expanding tyranny in Iraq and Syria. Today, as the “Caliphate” they dreamed would last until the end times lies in rubble, close to 2,000 have returned to Europe, including some 450 to Britain.
Vaccination passports, like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want everyone to be forced to carry, are profoundly un-American.
This data-driven authoritarianism, if it comes to pass, will wash away what remains of the rule of law and the Constitution, and annihilate the American way of life.
Individuals are being routinely reduced to their skin colour.
One of the few things we all seem to agree on today is that we live in a polarised age. Polarisation cements groups while pressurising the individual. I was persuaded of this time and again while interviewing mixed-race Britons for my new book Biracial Britain, which explores a category of individuals obliged from birth to navigate various racial groups in their everyday lives. ‘The politics of today complicate the lives of mixed-race people…”
Sweden’s space agency has called off a geoengineering experiment to determine whether blotting out the sun with aerosols could reverse global warming. Funded by Bill Gates, the project stoked fierce opposition from eco groups.
Proposed by researchers at Harvard University, the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, or SCoPEx, ultimately planned to release a cloud of calcium carbonate – more commonly known as chalk dust – into the atmosphere from a high-altitude balloon to study its effects on sunlight reaching Earth. The project proved too controversial, however, and on Wednesday the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) said that a test flight set for June would not move forward.
Fewer than half of all workers employed by one of Canada’s largest nursing and retirement home chains were vaccinated against COVID-19 as of last week.
Only 45 per cent of roughly 20,000 staff in Revera Inc. homes nationwide were vaccinated, according to a letter the company sent to Ontario government officials on March 29.
Full disclosure, I have booked my covid jab appointment at one of the city’s mass vaccination sites. If I find out they’re serving up AstraZeneca it’s off.
China has banned Facebook but that hasn’t stopped Beijing from using the social media platform as a gigantic instrument of state propaganda.
Hundreds of millions of people around the world are exposed to Facebook highlighting sponsored posts from the Chinese Communists that show Muslim ethnic minority Uyghurs happy and laughing the day away in China’s Xinjiang region.
“Absolutely,” Hunter Biden tells CBS “Sunday Morning,” after a reporter finally asks him what the media avoided asking him — and his father — during the 2020 campaign: Is the laptop yours?
But, being a Biden, he can’t help but prevaricate. “Certainly, there could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me. It could be that I was hacked, it could be that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me.”
City council in Regina has ordered the removal of a statue of Canada’s founding Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald from Victoria park.
The statue will be removed for a least a year while politicians try and figure out what to do with it.
Numb as all of us must be from this endless lockdown hibernation, with all of its attendant anxieties, perhaps the advent of the Easter weekend might bring a moment of pause and quiet. In the Christian tradition Easter is the end of the Lent, the season of abstention and the sombre events preceding Easter Sunday of Holy Week.
Critical race theory threatens the U.S. military’s mission of defending in combat the Constitution and our way of life from enemies who would destroy and subjugate us.
When President Harry Truman ordered the desegregation of the military in 1948, he invoked the United States’ commitment to “equality of treatment and opportunity for all” as his reason for doing so.
Unfortunately, more than 70 years after Truman’s executive order, racist and un-American ideas of unequal treatment are creeping back into the Armed Forces under the guise of so-called critical race theory.
The latest episode of cancel culture at Vanderbilt University should terrify Americans.
This is a harbinger of the damage the woke “social justice” mob can do when there are no adults in the room, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of not standing up to the ridiculous standards of modern outrage.
Last month, Vanderbilt University held its elections for the president and vice president of student government. The two leading campaigns pitted Jordan Gould and Amisha Mittal against Hannah Bruns and Kayla Prowell.
Shortly after the campaign began, rumors swirled that Gould, who is Jewish, attended a Sigma Chi fraternity event that broke the fraternity into North and South teams, with games and events loosely based on the Civil War. Cue the outrage.
A luxury UK auction house has withdrawn from sale a rare watch given to Chinese soldiers as a reward for their part in the Tiananmen Square massacre, after it said the vendor had received online threats.
The sale of the watch, depicting a green-helmeted soldier and the text “89.6 to commemorate the quelling of the rebellion” in Chinese characters, sparked questions over the ethics of profiting from an item associated with an atrocity.
Concerning the European Union, opinions are divided between those who consider it useless and costly, and those who believe it to be the future of Europe and a model for the human race.
What is the reality?
Before today’s EU emerged, the construction of a European union was, at first, a tremendous success.
