The left is exposing its moral inconsistencies

I get the strong sense that Donald Trump’s political rebirth has prompted panic within the overlapping “woke” and far left movements. Dubious? Just look at the cacophony of “wokesplosions” over the past three weeks:

We had the Ottawa high school principal who chose a “Palestinian resistance” song to commemorate Remembrance Day, only to be outflanked by the Halifax elementary administrator who asked Veterans to avoid wearing their uniforms to ensure that “students at the school who come from conflict zones” would be “comfortable.”

Oversight Committee Girds for Tense Hearing With FEMA Administrator Following Reports That Disaster-Relief Staff Were Told To Avoid Pro-Trump Homes

The House Oversight Committee is preparing for what will likely be a tense hearing on Tuesday with the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Deanne Criswell. The hearing was called after it was disclosed that a FEMA employee told her colleagues canvassing victims of hurricanes Milton and Helene to avoid homes with signs in support of President Trump in Florida.

Che Guevara was a sadist

Fitting model for a Che Guevara t-shirt

Why do people still glorify this child murderer?

Che Guevara died 57 years ago this month and yet, even now, he remains the epitome of revolutionary cool. You never know when he is going to pop up. I came across him recently in the lobby of a hotel in Kandy in the highlands of Sri Lanka. There he was with that determined, heroic look under a dashing beret with a red star badge. He was on a poster dominating the wall above the capitalist till where the luxury hotel took payment.

Blood, Soil and Land Acknowledgements

The 2024 Democratic National Convention opened with the claim that “our country was built on Indigenous homelands” from tribes that had been there “since time immemorial.” The American Lung Association’s DEI office tells members to begin by stating that “the land on which we stand” used to belong to Indian tribes who are now suffering from the “on-going violence and repression” of “tobacco-related health, indoor and outdoor air inequities.”

Academics, Not Activism, Should be the Priority in School

“Resistance to colonialism is not terrorism.”

This quote was shown to more than 5000 Winnipeg School Division (WSD) staff last week at a professional development session that Dr. Chris Emdin from Teachers College, Columbia University delivered. Not surprisingly, many teachers found the quote offensive, with more than a dozen walking out.

The teachers who walked out did the right thing. Whatever one’s political views might be, there is no context where intentionally murdering innocent civilians, which is an act of terrorism, is acceptable.

The Party of Demons

It should be clear by now, to those who have eyes to see, that the Democratic Party is profoundly anti-Catholic. The latest stunt demonstrative of this fact is a video of Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer feeding a Dorito to a kneeling podcaster, who receives the snack food on her tongue. You know, like Catholics receive the Holy Eucharist while kneeling at the altar rail.

Whitmer and her team may try to dismiss the video as anything other than the anti-Catholic mockery that it is, but Whitmer makes her meaning clear. The Hill reported that Whitmer “offers the camera a serious expression while wearing Harris-Walz campaign gear” after placing the Dorito on the kneeling girl’s tongue. However, those familiar with the Michigan governor (I myself lived in Detroit for a period of time) will recognize a distinctly defiant, mocking menace in her eyes. This is more than just a political ploy, it is more than merely poorly capitalizing on a social media trend, it is mocking and deriding American Catholics.

Why Are the Nutjobs Trying to Kill Political Opponents All Left-Wingers?

Murderous political violence in the United States today is not an all-of-the-above phenomenon.

In Aug. 2012, a left-wing MSNBC aficionado named Floyd Lee Corkins armed himself with a handgun and extra magazines. He drove to the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the socially conservative Family Research Council, planning to shoot it up. Corkins, who later cited the Southern Poverty Law Center for the proposition that the FRC is an “anti-gay” organization, was also carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, which he hoped to stuff in his dead victims’ mouths. Corkins, who served as a volunteer at a local LGBT community center, was stopped by an unarmed security guard.

We need to talk about the violent hatred for Donald Trump

The BBC says the latest suspected attempt on the life of Donald Trump is proof that ‘political violence’ is the ‘new norm’ in America. It’s half right. There does seem to be a ‘new normal’ over there, but it’s not some abstract thing called ‘political violence’. It’s not some broad-strokes brutish contempt for all rulers of society. It’s more targeted than that. It has one politician in particular in its crosshairs. If there’s a new normal in America, it would appear to be a new normal of an increasingly militant culture of grievance against the 45th President of the United States, now aspiring to be the 47th: Donald Trump.

‘Putin, here I am’: man accused of targeting Trump had ‘delusional ideas’ about helping Ukraine

In April 2022, a little over a month after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stream of middle-aged European and American volunteers were passing through Poland on their way into Ukraine. There was the retired attorney delivering sweets to Ukrainian orphanages; the Irish former French Foreign Legion soldier carrying luggage for refugees, and the Englishman who had moved from France to help rescue pets. One American in his 60s was transporting dead frozen chicks from Poland to a zoo in western Ukraine. They called themselves the “silent army” and the “get-off-the-couch crew”.


Possibility Ryan Wesley Routh Had Informant ‘Scary’: Ex-FBI Leader

The man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump may have had inside information on his movements, a former FBI assistant director said.

Chris Swecker told Newsweek that law enforcement will have to establish how Ryan Wesley Routh appeared to know the exact details of when Trump was playing golf at a Florida resort.

Geoff Russ: Canada’s progressive experiment has failed

I like stories that make Justin cry.

Canada’s progressive experiment is disintegrating into a thousand pieces before our very eyes.

On Thursday morning, B.C. Premier David Eby announced that he would consider scrapping the provincial consumer carbon tax if Ottawa made it possible.

This comes less than a year after he declared that British Columbia would be the last stand of Canada’s carbon taxes, come hell or high water, and follows his federal counterpart, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, signalling that he will oppose the current version of the tax.

Adam Pankratz: Things are so dire for the left, even B.C.’s NDP wants to scrap the carbon tax

It must be disheartening to be David Eby and the B.C. NDP these days. Justin Trudeau is sending 22,000 asylum seekers to B.C. in the midst of a housing crisis and Jagmeet Singh has just announced he (probably) wants to axe the carbon tax. How B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad managed to get Trudeau and Singh to campaign for him is a mystery that may never be solved, but we should tip our hat to Rustad’s political deftness.

KLEIN: The left’s agenda is destroying Canadian identity, threatening democracy

Canada has long been celebrated as a land of opportunity, freedom, and hope. People from around the globe have aspired to become Canadian, drawn by our reputation as a welcoming, fair, and democratic nation.

But today, our country’s identity is under siege, not from outside invaders but from within — by an ideology that seeks to erase what it means to be Canadian. The left’s relentless attack on our values, history, and sense of belonging is tearing at the very fabric of our democracy.

A Foundation Has Been Bribing Cities to Free Criminals

Something interesting is going on in San Francisco where DA Brooke Jenkins, a black woman who ousted the former pro-crime Chesa Boudin and promised to actually enforce the law, is taking on the MacArthur Foundation.

While we often call pro-crime DAs “Soros DAs” and indeed the Nazi collaborating radical billionaire did indeed play a major role in building a pro-crime network of DAs who ignore the law, there are a variety of major foundations who destroyed public safety in America.

For a Democrat, the American heartland’s normalcy is a terrifying dystopia

The Civil War tore America apart and left 600,000 dead. Still, despite its ferocity, it had at its heart only one big issue: whether the Constitution’s promise of individual liberty overrode states’ rights to govern themselves. Otherwise, Americans were much the same: the Bible, hard work, heterosexuality, the nuclear family, anti-crime, etc. America today actually faces a more profound schism than it did then because we’ve become two entirely different people. An opinion piece in the San Francisco Chronicle really hammers the point home, as a regular columnist looks at a county fair in the Heartland and sees a dystopian world.

Jury Finds Portland Antifa Leader Guilty, Police Arrest Member For Assault

When an Oregon county near Portland held self-proclaimed “journalist” Alissa Azar accountable for planning a riot in 2021, violent members of Antifa descended on a small main street. Police arrested one member for allegedly assaulting a man.

“She just wasn’t even just your average Antifa member. She was somebody who definitely was an orchestrator, or I would call a ringleader,” Clackamas County Commissioner Ben West said to The Federalist. “They operate with creating fear, and at a certain point, you just have to stand up and be like, ‘No.’”
