Down with the New Normal

Down with the New Normal

Who wants to live in a nerdy world of no handshakes and no big sweaty crowds?

Few phrases inspire more horror in me than ‘the new normal’. It is falling from the lips of public-health experts and lockdown-loving commentators everywhere. Forget the ‘old normal’ of going maskless into the streets, or ramming yourself into a crowd of thirsty punters at the bar in a pub, or taking a lover without constantly worrying that he or she might make you ill with his or her breath. Such reckless libertinism was for the old world, apparently, the era BC (Before Covid). We are all now heading into the New Normal, a brave new world of forever social-distancing being built for us by a benevolent bureaucracy that simply wants to protect us from disease.

Leaked photo from Pentagon UFO task force shows ‘silver cube’ hovering over the Atlantic at 35,000ft

The existence of two classified Pentagon reports on UFOs has been revealed, the contents of which include a leaked photo depicting a mysterious object hovering over the Atlantic.

The DoD’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force issued the two classified intelligence ‘position reports’ in 2018 and the summer of this year, and they circulated widely in the U.S. intelligence community, according to a detailed account from The Debrief based on interviews with multiple intelligence sources.

The position reports’ startling contents included a leaked photo that has never before been made public, accounts of ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ (UAP) emerging from the ocean and soaring through the sky, and an admission that extraterrestrial origins for the objects cannot be ruled out.

Declass of 2020: What President Trump should lay bare for all the world to see.

Catholic archbishop: Biden should not receive Holy Communion because of abortion support

Catholic archbishop: Biden should not receive Holy Communion because of abortion support

A retired Catholic archbishop on Friday said President-elect Joe Biden “should not receive Holy Communion” because of his position on abortion.

Archbishop Charles Chaput, writing in the religious journal First Things, said Biden’s vocal support for abortion means that he is not in good standing with the Catholic Church and that priests should not give him Holy Communion until he ceases to advocate for abortion-friendly policies.

Adamson Barbecue’s flouting of COVID-19 rules is opposed by 76 per cent of Ontarians, Toronto Star commissioned poll says

Adamson Barbecue’s flouting of COVID-19 rules is opposed by 76 per cent of Ontarians, Toronto Star commissioned poll says

Ontarians are skewering a rebel barbecue restaurateur who has defied COVID-19 restrictions, a new poll suggests.

The Campaign Research survey for the Toronto Star found three-quarters of respondents — 76 per cent — oppose Adam Skelly’s highly publicized flouting of pandemic health orders.

Only 19 per cent supported Skelly, whose refusal to close Adamson Barbecue in Etobicoke to in-person dining during a mandatory lockdown, has generated headlines and led to charges.

Hmmm. I like Nick Kouvalis but he could be wrong.

David Petraeus: Perfect Avatar for America’s Corrupt Ruling Class

His assertion that “right-wing” terrorists pose the greatest terrorist threat to our country is a sop to his new paymasters and a selling out of the people who made his career.

General David Petraeus, for many years (decades?) lauded as the greatest and most successful soldier of his generation, just insulted, in terms paradoxically both implicit and vicious, the men who made both his military renown and his post-military success and wealth possible.

“The most significant terrorist threat in the United States is not actually from Islamist extremists, it’s from right-wing terrorists in our own country,” he recently said to a gathering of elites.

The Road to Hell … is paved with government intervention.

The Road to Hell … is paved with government intervention.

The current crisis did not begin with Trump, contrary to the vain repetitions of the Never Trump crowd. The Left’s woes didn’t begin with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The political turmoil on both the left and right started a couple election cycles back with Bill Clinton and Chuck Schumer. What began with government good intentions and notions of correcting injustice caused one short-term fiscal calamity and continues as a rolling cultural catastrophe.

No legal grounds for employers to force employees to get vaccinated, say experts

No legal grounds for employers to force employees to get vaccinated, say experts

TORONTO — As a potential COVID-19 vaccine gets closer to reality in Canada, so does the reality that as employees who have been working remotely return to their workplaces, there are uncharted legal and ethical waters ahead.

Among the issues to be navigated: Could employers force staff to get vaccinated?

There is no legal precedent for that, say employment lawyers.
