School bans pro-police flag, but allows BLM and LGBT messages

A local school district forced a middle school teacher to remove a pro-police flag from her classroom wall. But the district allows Black Lives Matter and LGBT messages to be displayed.

The teacher at Marysville Middle School posted a Thin Blue Line flag in her classroom. It was meant to support the police. But according to documents obtained by the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH, the district’s human resources said the flag is a “political symbol” that could elicit a “disruption” in the classroom. She was ordered to take it down.

Military leaders saw pandemic as unique opportunity to test propaganda techniques on Canadians, Forces report says

A plan devised by the Canadian Joint Operations Command relied on propaganda techniques similar to those employed during the Afghanistan war.

Canadian military leaders saw the pandemic as a unique opportunity to test out propaganda techniques on an unsuspecting public, a newly released Canadian Forces report concludes.

The federal government never asked for the so-called information operations campaign, nor did cabinet authorize the initiative developed during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Canadian Joint Operations Command, then headed by Lt.-Gen. Mike Rouleau.

Slow news day? Canada’s only female defence minister was in 1993. Is it time for another?

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is being urged by several experts on sexual misconduct in the military to name a new defence minister as he sets about building a new cabinet following Monday’s federal election.

The calls are based on a belief that Harjit Sajjan has lost credibility when it comes to addressing what senior commanders themselves have described as an existential crisis within the Canadian Armed Forces.

Justin could appoint himself.

‘Oh, F*** Them’: Tucker Carlson Reacts To ADL Calls To Fire Him

Tucker Carlson blasted the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) during an interview published Friday over the partisan organization’s calls for Fox News to fire the host.

“Oh, f*** them,” Carlson bluntly told host Megan Kelly. “The ADL was such a noble organization that had a very specific goal, which was to fight anti-Semitism. That’s a virtuous goal. I think they were pretty successful over the years. Now it’s operated by a guy who’s … just an apparatchik of the Democratic Party.”

Government-run Tim Hortons losses worse than expected

” … One reason for the red ink appears to be labour costs. In 2012, media reported that unionized staff that served coffee at the facility were paid about $26 per hour (including benefits). Minimum wage at the time was $10. Now, however, the hospital maintains wage information is confidential. Oddly enough, other health bodies have had no problem releasing similar information.”

Sure Tim’s is not the brand it was but a hospital location screams captive customers and 26 bucks an hour for slinging coffee says an awful lot about healthcare costs.

Anti-vaxxers don’t have a right to accommodations, Ontario human rights watchdog says

People who choose not to get the COVID-19 vaccine due to personal preferences or “singular beliefs” do not have a right to accommodations under Ontario’s human rights law, the province’s rights watchdog says

The decision to get vaccinated is voluntary, and a “person who chooses not to be vaccinated based on personal preference does not have the right to accommodation under the (Human Rights Code),” the Ontario Human Rights Commission said this week in a policy paper discussing the limits of vaccine mandates and proof-of-vaccination requirements.

While human rights law prohibits discrimination based on creed — someone’s religion, or a non-religious belief system that shapes their identity, world view and way of life — personal preferences or singular beliefs do not amount to a creed, the commission said, adding it “is not aware of any tribunal or court decision that found a singular belief against vaccinations or masks amounted to a creed within the meaning of the Code.”

Hunter Biden’s $500,000 artwork is not the real scandal

The art market is a racket — his exhibitions are drawing attention to that

“… Thanks to a web of freewheeling middlemen, offshore shell companies and unscrupulous art dealers, investing in artworks is now one of the easiest ways to exchange ill-gotten cash for respectable assets. Earlier this year, it was reported that a raid on a drug dealer’s house in Philadelphia had found “14 paintings on the walls and another 33 stacked in a storage unit” nearby, including works by Renoir, Picasso and Dali.”

The weirdest moment in the history of “The View”

The weirdest moment in the history of “The View”

“I’m curious to see if Hostin or Navarro has symptoms. One theory about breakthrough infections is that they’re happening much more commonly than anyone realizes and typically produce asymptomatic cases that go undetected because the infected person never has reason to get tested.”
