Who’s really running the show? Just imagine the following scenario: President Joe spends an evening – actually, more like an afternoon — watching old classic films, one of which, perhaps, is a Cold War-era action movie about a Russian invasion. When not dozing off he thoroughly enjoys the film. He has his early-bird supper and shuffles off to bed. Later that night, about 3:00 am, Joe wakes up and locks himself in the bathroom with the nuclear football.
The authoritarian assault on Hong Kong is almost complete. Its democratic institutions and press have been neutered. With democrats out of the picture, sycophants have come to the fore. One pro-Beijing lawmaker has reportedly shown his devotion by removing all the yellow crayons from her daughter’s colouring set – yellow being the pro-democracy protesters’ chosen colour.
On Tuesday, a gunman targeted three massage parlors in the Atlanta area, killing eight people and wounding one more. Police arrested a suspect, 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long, who confessed to the shooting, claiming he had been motivated by a sexual addiction and aimed to remove “temptation.” However, since six of the eight victims were Asian American women, leftist commentators, Democrats, and legacy media outlets rushed to the conclusion that Long’s true motive was anti-Asian hatred tracing back to “white supremacy.” Many noted the rise in anti-Asian harassment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Critical race theory trainings guided by her book are a disease spreading through schools and businesses across the country.
The Left’s long march through our institutions has finally clinched the ultimate glittering trophy — the unfettered indoctrination of our young. A stampede of schools seeking to boast the credential of becoming anti-racist, guided by the lodestars of diversity, equity, and inclusion, has been accelerated by the post–George Floyd rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. When parents live in fear, not speaking out against critical race theory–based school seminars and classes to avoid being canceled, and when children are taught that they must be racist just because of their skin pigmentation, the triumph of the Left is complete. And the most influential resource guiding schools and corporates across the nation is Robin DiAngelo’s wildly popular book White Fragility.
The owner of Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks in San Antonio, Texas has removed a statue of former President Trump for repair after visitors damaged it by punching it.
The museum’s owner says damage to wax figures, especially politicians can be a problem.
Looks more like Adam Baldwin.

A senior-level law enforcement source with U.S.Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Rio Grande Valley revealed the implementation of a plan to release migrant families soon after apprehension. The plan radically changes how illegal migrants have been processed in the past and orders Border Patrol agents to quickly release migrant families without notifying the immigration courts or issuing a Notice to Appear.
More than 600 Amazon workers at one warehouse alone have contracted COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. But the online retail giant has registered fewer than five cases at the provincial workers’ compensation board, the Star has learned.
Last week, Peel Public Health ordered the company to close all shifts after concerns that cases within its Brampton Heritage Road facility were “increasing significantly,” even as community cases dropped.
But despite hundreds of workers testing positive, the company has registered almost no claims at the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board as of this past week.
Ontario employers are required to report COVID cases to the WSIB, which then decides if they are work-related. If the workplace contributed “significantly” to a worker contracting the virus, they would be eligible for financial support or health-care benefits.
The red meat wars have hit America.
Republican governors representing heartland states are uniting in support of the cattle industry in response to calls from Jared Polis, the Democratic governor of Colorado, to move his state away from eating meat. The herd of Republican governors of Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming, and Montana has taken issue with Polis’s call for Saturday, March 20, to be observed as “MeatOut Day,” during which residents are asked to replace meat with a plant-based alternative.
The royal family are considering appointing a diversity tsar under new plans to modernise the monarchy.
The move comes after Buckingham Palace conducted a review of policies, procedures and programmes currently in place and found that not enough progress had been made, with an acknowledgement that “more needs to be done”.
This is silly. It will accelerate the end of the Royal family, no one respects woke royals.
A couple of weeks ago, Cardinal Thomas Collins — the influential Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto — called on the Ontario government to revise its capacity rules for places of worship.
“This makes no sense,” Cardinal Collins wrote, in reference to the rules governing Toronto and Peel Region that capped attendance at 10 persons regardless of the size of the facility. He pointed out how the 10-person limit applies to his own St. Michael’s Cathedral despite the fact the grand facility can hold 1,500 persons, and yet nearby liquor stores are much smaller but can welcome more than 10 customers.
Lockdowns are a limited means of defense. They can slow but not eliminate covid spread. That’s great if you need to shore up old age homes. Used as a bludgeon they do far more harm than good. The economic and mental health devastation will far outweigh any benefit.
OTTAWA — Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole has made it clear he wants to move past debates about the existence of climate change, but the party’s national policy convention this weekend has shown it’s not so simple with his party’s base.
On Friday night, O’Toole gave a keynote speech to the convention promising his party will put forward a serious environment plan. “We cannot ignore the reality of climate change,” O’Toole said. “The debate is over.”
An acknowledgement of climate change exists as formal CPC policy.
Climate change isn’t really the issue however, it’s just a flashpoint and the CPC braintrust has missed that as usual.
It’s the constant kowtowing by the CPC to the lib-left media agenda across a range of issues that people hate, the evident shift to the left by the party leadership is galling to many, hated even more than having “climate change” shoved down their throat.
O’Toole and the CPC are over, they can’t even talk to their base any longer.
Amid a staggering wave of gun violence in New York City, with shootings this year measuring 42 percent higher than the same period in 2020, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that he plans to deploy the NYPD to track down and question people who have expressed “hate,” albeit without committing any crime or violation.
A pattern of contempt for America and its leaders seems to be taking hold
“…Yang, speaking through a translator, shot back: ‘You can’t blame this problem on somebody else.’ Blinken went on to say that now, under Joe Biden, the United States was ‘back’ (where did it go, Tony?) and was ‘reengaging’ with its allies on the world stage. Here’s where that short imperative I mentioned came in. The United States, said Yang, in one of the most dismissive diplomatic rejoinders I have ever heard, does not have the ‘qualifications’ to address China ‘from a position of strength’. F, my dear Blinken, you.”
Pope Francis has never been known to hold a strict view of documents from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF). In 2016, a reporter asked him about a 2003 CDF document prohibiting recognition of gay civil unions. He replied, “I do not remember that document well.” In fact, as archbishop of Buenos Aires, he had disregarded the document’s directive and endorsed legislation in favor of gay civil unions.
