After 1,400 years of jihad violence against Jews everywhere that Muslims and Jews have lived in proximity, the Orthodox Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, who serves as Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Commonwealth, says that he finds it “alarming” that so many Muslims in the United Kingdom are anti-Semitic. But given Islam’s texts, teachings and history, what else did he expect?
What’s “Alarming” is that 56% lied.
The latest coronavirus lockdown restrictions announced by California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti are getting a strong push back from business owners, mayors, lawmakers, and sheriffs who say banning outdoor dining and closing children’s playgrounds are unnecessary and ‘not supported by science.’
California’s Department of Public Health on Saturday announced that the Golden State recorded 25,068 new cases of COVID-19 – a record case count for a 24-hour period since the start of the pandemic. The surging number of cases has prompted the Bay Area, San Joaquin Valley, and Southern California to impose lockdowns.
But the mitigation measures are being met with anger from business owners who say they are being unfairly punished.

Klaus Schwab, the chief proponent of a global project called the “Great Reset,” may be the most influential “intellectual” in the world today. A former member of the UN Advisory Board on Sustainable Development, he is the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) that meets annually in the Swiss resort town of Davos. Business Insider explains, “Each year, business leaders and heads of state give lectures and speak on panels about topics ranging from gender equality and venture capital to mental health and climate change.” And as the WEF website states, “The non-profit organization’s aim is to engage the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.”
On last night’s episode of The Ezra Levant Show, we looked at a recent popularity poll which ranked Brian Pallister on the bottom of a list of Canadian premiers.
It’s time to wind down the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
My preference would be if the federal government axed the whole thing – English and French services, radio and TV.
Page seems to embody a sort of boutique transgenderism we’re all now accustomed to seeing
Americans found themselves divided into two camps this week — the mildly skeptical and the fervently disinterested — when the actress formally known as Ellen Page announced she was a boy called Elliot and, in fact, always has been a boy.
In the proclamation, posted to Instagram, Page not only came out as transgender — meaning she was born one sex but identifies as the other — but also as non-binary — which means she actually has no sex. Yes, it makes no sense. But try not to think too much about, she clearly hasn’t either.
She’s a girl playing a non binary playing a boy who has a wife. Yea I follow that.
In October, the Seattle City Council floated legislation to provide an exemption from prosecution for misdemeanor crimes for any citizen who suffers from poverty, homelessness, addiction, or mental illness. Under the proposed ordinance, courts would have to dismiss all so-called “crimes of poverty”—which, according to the city’s former public-safety advisor, would cover more than 90 percent of all misdemeanor cases citywide. In effect, the legislation would create a new class of “untouchables,” protected from consequences by the city’s powerbrokers.
… Immunising a large chunk of the UK’s 68 million people will be an immense task, never mind reaching most of the globe’s 7.8 billion residents.
Nothing on this scale has ever been attempted before.
The vaccines and their equipment – such as the vials to house them – need to be manufactured in mass quantities. Vaccine supply may not be able to meet demand for some time.
The vaccines then need to be transported from factories and delivered to health centres – including those in isolated, hard-to-reach communities across the world.
A long read but informative, short take – no return to normal next year.
It is his favorite cycle: President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recklessly widens Turkey’s democratic deficit, weakens institutions, refuses to acknowledge democratic checks and balances. He isolates Turkey mostly from its Western alliances and follows an irredentist foreign policy of trying to reclaim supposedly “lost” land. Turkey is at odds with both the United States and Europe.
Inevitably, political isolation causes economic isolation. The economy is on a downfall. Investors flee the country. Voters start to complain about the double-digit inflation and interest rates; the lira falls and falls; unemployment rises sharply. Erdogan rediscovers his reformist self and promises to democratize — presumably hoping, in vain, that he can reverse the economic downfall.
Facebook has updated its hate speech algorithm, reversing years of neutrality to prioritize anti-black comments while making anti-white slurs the lowest priority.
The tech giant’s new system for detecting hate speech, known internally as the WoW Project, will automatically delete hateful language directed at the LGBTQ community, Jews, Muslims and African Americans — which has been dubbed by Facebook engineers as the “worst of the worst,” the Washington Post reported.
The company will now begin scoring hate speech and offensive posts, and remarks about “men,” “whites” and “Americans” will be marked “low sensitivity,” the report said.
A few riots and some low sensitivity shopping should change that.
The mysterious neurological symptoms experienced by American diplomats in China and Cuba are consistent with the effects of directed microwave energy, according to a long-awaited report by the National Academies of Sciences that cites medical evidence to support the long-held conviction of American intelligence officials.
The report, obtained Friday by NBC News, does not conclude that the directed energy was delivered intentionally, by a weapon, as some U.S. officials have long believed. But it raises that disturbing possibility.
A Chinese professor accused by U.S. prosecutors of helping steal American technology to benefit China‘s Huawei Technologies Co Ltd on Dec. 4 pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, but is expected to be allowed to return home after prosecutors decided not to pursue a more serious charge.
The professor, Bo Mao, had been charged with conspiring to defraud Silicon Valley’s CNEX Labs and faced up to 20 years behind bars. He was a visiting professor at the University of Texas when he was arrested in August 2019.
This is becoming an all-too-familiar refrain. XYZ Company pulls up stakes in California and expands or moves to Texas or Tennessee. But even for the arrogant California commissars in Sacramento, who have seen more than 13,000 companies leave on their watch in the last few years, this one has got to hurt.
Riots in Paris as furious masked mob set cars on fire and throw Molotov cocktails at police as thousands march against law making it illegal to film police
Cars were ignited by furious gangs of rioters in Paris today as thousands marched against a new law making it illegal to film the police.
Flames and thick black smoke filled major streets in the French capital on Saturday as youths wearing black masks and balaclavas threw missiles including Molotov Cocktails at the police.
By early evening there had been 22 arrests of ‘very violent suspects’ in the area around Avenue Gambetta, said a local police spokesman, who said highly organised rioters had put numerous shop windows in.
