The FBI has launched an investigation after a bomb was thrown at an anti-LGBT church in California just weeks after the pastor received an arson attack threat.
Police and fire crews were called to the First Works Baptist Church at 2600 Tyler Avenue in El Monte in the early hours of Saturday morning to reports of an explosion.
The FBI said an improvised explosive device had been thrown at the building and it had also been covered in graffiti.
Here’s a December 15 headline in the New York Times that should not have been lost in the holiday whirl, nor in the general hubbub of news since: “Fed Joins Climate Network, to Applause From the Left.”
As the article details, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, the nation’s central bank, has officially joined the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS). That’s “Greening,” as in “environmentalism,” “Greta Thunberg,” “Green New Deal,” and all that. And as the Times makes clear in its headline, the left is loving it.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has spent the last number of days calling for consequences and compensation in the aftermath of U.S. President Joe Biden revoking the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.
But Canada’s options appear limited, and are unlikely to include the introduction of sanctions, as the premier has suggested.
In an interview Saturday on CBC’s The House, Canada’s ambassador to the United States even said it was time to let the project go in favour of other pressing bilateral issues.
The fix was in.
U.S. President Joe Biden’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline once again reveals the fundamental problem with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership.
He values style over substance, which results in poor decision-making in which Trudeau repeatedly over-promises and under-delivers.
“I didn’t expect much from President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris—they are embedded in the pro-abortion army—but the opening of today’s joint statement on the 48th anniversary of Roe was unnecessarily pugilistic and overtly hostile to those of us who mourn, not celebrate, a decision that has already cost the lives of over 65 million unborn babies.”
An academic study carried out by researchers in the US and Germany has concluded that big-tech elites are completely different to all other people on the planet, and can be placed in their own class.
“Our research contributes to closing a research gap in societies with rising inequalities,” note the authors of the study from two German universities and the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies in New York.
The research centres around analysing language used in close to 50,000 tweets and other online statements by 100 of the richest tech-elites as listed by Forbes.
Following the murder of Samuel Paty, many ‘foot soldiers of the Republic’ feel abandoned to extremists
Imagine being a teacher in France. You come out in a cold sweat at the prospect of telling your class about Voltaire, Rousseau or Diderot. You’re terrified one of their parents will post your details on an extremist forum. You leave your workplace after dark wondering if someone’s waiting to attack you. Shocking as it may seem to British ears, this is the reality for secondary school History teachers across the Republic.
A look at the circumstances that gave rise to Vlad the Impaler and Ivan the Terrible.
Citing history—or, as shall be seen, pseudohistory—is one of the main ways Islam’s apologists try to ennoble Muhammad’s creed and its adherents. As a sort of counterbalance to purportedly noble Muslims, medieval Christians are regularly presented as the epitome of intolerance and violence. Commonly leading the pack are Vlad the Impaler and Ivan “the Terrible” (both featured in the 2002 book, The Most Evil Men and Women in History).
In reality, however, these men—and the culture they lived in—were significantly influenced by Islam; they were surrounded by and fought against Muslims their entire lives.
One of President Biden’s first acts on immigration is to suspend investigations, arrests, and deportations of most criminal aliens for the next 100 days. In a memo titled “Review of and Interim Revision to Civil Immigration Enforcement and Removal Policies and Procedures”, sent on Wednesday to all immigration agency heads, Acting DHS Secretary David Pekoske announced new enforcement priorities that go into effect on February 1, 2021. The memo imposes restrictions on immigration enforcement actions that are even tighter than those adopted (with disastrous results) by the Obama administration, and make the country a sanctuary not only for criminal aliens, but all who are here in defiance of our laws.
Now that the Keystone XL pipeline is canceled by President Joe Biden, the world is supposedly greener.
Really? Fact is, it’s the opposite. Instead of getting more environmentally friendly, the carbon footprint from that oil will be increased substantially because it will be shipped by trucks and trains above ground instead of through underground pipe. It is also much less safe and efficient: shipping by trucks and trains means more accidents — and an increased human cost. What sheer brilliance! I thought all of Biden’s decisions were going to be based on facts and science.
Germany’s right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has filed two lawsuits against the nation’s domestic security service that is reportedly about to designate it a “suspected” extremist group ahead of national elections.
The party has filed two legal complaints and two emergency motions against the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution – a domestic security agency known as BfV – the German dpa news agency reported. The move followed a series of media reports suggesting that BfV could formally declare the whole party a suspected extremist organization.
The left has an impulse-control problem and it’s getting worse.
The dream of putting the nuclear genie back in the bottle and forgetting how to build the bomb began in the 1950s when some of the same scientists who created the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs proposed the elimination of all nuclear weapons. At that time there were only three nuclear-armed nations: the U.S., the Soviet Union, and Great Britain. They proposed that the nuclear fuel cycle be placed under international control with the scientists themselves in charge.
In what has been described as “emotionally manipulative propaganda”, the British government has released a high-production lockdown ad campaign, attempt to guilt the public into obeying the country’s lockdown restrictions.
Sure, you’ll cut costs on oil changes, but you’ll pay way more over the life of the car.
Electric vehicles are being sold, in part, on how much they’ll save people in terms of maintenance costs.
That’s a total con.
EVs are not no-maintenance or even low-maintenance relative to non-electric cars. They are different maintenance.
And they’re not cheaper to maintain.
A BBC programme aimed at nine- to 12-year-olds includes the astonishing claim that there are ‘over 100 gender identities’.
The film, ‘Identity – Understanding Sexual and Gender Identities’, is being offered on the corporation’s website as part of its relationships and sex education package.
It comes despite Government guidance published last year which advised schools to exercise caution when teaching children about gender issues.
