Chief Pining for the Fjords latest contender for the coveted “Archie” award

Celebrated artist says he’s Indigenous and a Sixties Scoop survivor. His family says he isn’t

Grey Owl aka Archie Belaney – Visionary  inspiration for the “Archie Awards”

A celebrated artist in Kingston, Ont., who goes by an Ojibway name and is known for paintings on Indigenous themes has been making inaccurate claims for decades about being Indigenous and a Sixties Scoop survivor, according to family, members of 11 First Nations and other close acquaintances.

…  But those who know Blanchard, including his ex-wife and brother, tell CBC he is not who he claims to be.

“My family is white,” said one of the artist’s brothers, Allen Blanchard, who describes his family’s ancestry as primarily Norwegian, English, with some French.

Wokeness vs. Air Conditioning

When tyranny surpasses progress.

In the United States of Woke, a futuristic dystopia where “progressives” run amok, the widespread use of air conditioning likely would be banned, even in the midst of summer’s oppressive heat and humidity.

Why? Because air conditioning not only threatens Mother Earth. It represents racism and “white supremacy,” which means it contradicts social, economic and environmental justice.

Pentagon is using artificial intelligence to predict the future and give it ‘days of advanced warning’ on attacks on sensitive sites

The Pentagon is stealing a page from Minority Report with an experimental artificial-intelligence program that can look ‘days in advance’ and predict possible attacks on vulnerable locations.

The Global Information Dominance Experiments, or GIDE, use machine learning to sift through vast amounts of data to notice tiny changes that humans might miss – such as the number of cars increasing or decreasing in a parking lot – which might indicate an evolving threat.

The program can then alert human agents who can take a closer look at the location.

Racism row at the Vegan Society: Five trustees quit over claim veganism is ‘cultural appropriation’ because it was founded by white man but uses foods and traditions from Africa and Asia

Five trustees quit the Vegan Society last month amid allegations of institutional racism and transphobia sparked by a bitter row over whether the word ‘veganism’ was ‘cultural appropriation’.

Last summer the society, which was established nearly eight decades ago, commissioned Ijeoma Omambala QC to investigate claims that the then vice chair, Eshe Kiama Zuri, had posted racist comments online.

Her report, which was published in June, found that Zuri had written two ‘unprofessional and inappropriate’ comments about the society, but that neither was racist.

Rantz: 7-year-old’s lemonade stand shuttered while nearby encampment remains

A park ranger shut down a 7-year-old girl’s lemonade stand in Everett. Yet, the city refuses to clear the nearby homeless encampments that neighbors have been complaining about.

It’s become a tradition for Elsa LaMaine to operate her lemonade stand at Rucker Hill Park. She even gives a portion of her profits to local nonprofit Everett Gospel Mission. So it was disappointing when a ranger came by to shutter her business and stomp on her entrepreneurial spirit.

Bacon may disappear in California as pig rules take effect

In a statement the Pigs have chosen to remain neutral on the issue.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Thanks to a reworked menu and long hours, Jeannie Kim managed to keep her San Francisco restaurant alive during the coronavirus pandemic.

That makes it all the more frustrating that she fears her breakfast-focused diner could be ruined within months by new rules that could make one of her top menu items — bacon — hard to get in California.

That’s a great reason to leave Dumpsterfornia.

Grifter Shaun King lives lavishly in lakefront New Jersey home

Talcum X

…King has been dogged for years by allegations of shady dealings in his charitable efforts in movements he has founded — including a lack of transparency in money he has raised for several criminal justice initiatives he has backed.

Fellow activists and those who worked with him raising cash for everything from Haitian orphans to the families of black men killed by police, have repeatedly raised questions about King’s leadership, and, in some cases, asked where the donations have gone.
