French left takes a swing at ‘racist’ golfers in new culture war
Golf is on a roll in France: last month Matthieu Pavon became the first French player to win on the PGA Tour since 1907, and Céline Boutier made history last year as only the third French woman to win a major championship.
Yet for all this surge in popularity, all is not well on the courses. Players are cutting up rough over claims from a left-wing firebrand that slugging away for 18 holes is on a par with being racist.

Two women accused of sticking images of paragliders on their backs at a pro-Palestinian march were actually displaying a “cartoon parachute” used as a “symbol of peace”, lawyers have claimed.
Heba Alhayek, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, allegedly wore the pictures of paragliders at a march in central London seven days after militants from Hamas used paragliders to enter Israel from Gaza on October 7.
A third woman, Noimutu Olayinka Taiwo, 27, is accused of displaying the paraglider picture on a placard at the protest.
Update: Women guilty of terror offence over parachute image at pro-Palestinian march
The president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada filed for expenses of more than $119,000 at a time when she complained to the government about the broadcaster’s financial woes, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
Canada’s actors, directors and musicians are sounding the alarm over artificial intelligence, saying it threatens their livelihood and reputations.
Groups representing people who work in TV, movies and music are calling on the Liberal government to protect their industries in its AI legislation.
Actors’ union ACTRA says unbridled use of AI could result in people’s names and images being misused in artificially crafted videos—or even replace human actors entirely.
People lose jobs everyday to AI. Whether it’s a labourer replaced by an industrial robot or a clerk by software and no one says boo.
The entertainemnt business is owed no special treatment.
On Monday, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) warned that the latest Senate proposal to provide funding for Ukraine and Israel has a provision buried inside it designed to trigger Trump’s impeachment should he win reelection in November.
Well that should drain support for Ukraine.
That the NFL went all-in for Black Lives Matter makes sense, given that almost 60% of pro football players are black. It even went all-in for playing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” before games, including yesterday’s Super Bowl. It’s a lovely hymn in its own right, but there’s a problem: It’s billed as “the Black National Anthem.” That’s why Rep. Steve Cohen, an uber-woke House member from Memphis, later tweeted out his disappointment that Super Bowl fans insisted on there being only one National Anthem. Tweeters soon set him straight.
And brought Obama’s father to America
When LBJ signed the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act into law, JFK had been dead for two years, but it, more than the Cuban missile crisis or the race to the moon, was his real legacy which still impacts us today when there are no more Americans on the moon or nukes in Cuba.
At the signing, LBJ paid tribute to “the vision of the late beloved President John Fitzgerald Kennedy”. Little did the 36th president know that the 44th president, born to a radical Kenyan student, was already growing up in this country due to JFK’s personal intervention during his 1960 presidential campaign.

The Biden administration and leftist billionaire George Soros are tied at the hip, working in cahoots to undermine Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The U.S. Department of State entrusted Soros-funded Ökotárs Foundation and media watchdog Mérték Media Monitor to hand over $320,000 in taxpayer dollars to 15 media outlets critical of the pro-freedom Hungarian government, according to NGO and government documents. European Parliament elections take place from June 6 to June 9. Similarly, Hungary will hold local elections on June 9. Hungary-based political analyst András László and Rod Dreher spread the news in Jan. 27 posts on X.
The person who opened fire at Joel Osteen’s Houston-area mega-church on Sunday has been named as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, according to the Houston Chronicle, as authorities revealed “Free Palestine” was written on the weapon used in the attack.
Moreno entered Osteen’s Lakewood Church just before 2 p.m. with a boy, believed to be about 4 or 5 years old, and opened fire into the church.
Could the way Canadians park vehicles be part of the housing crisis?
It’s no secret that Canada is facing a major housing shortage. But could the sheer amount of space used for parking vehicles be part of the problem?
A recent Re/Max report looking at participation in the housing market said the “vast majority” of lower-priced properties in the Greater Toronto Area are parking spaces, and that most of the 250 ‘properties’ listed for sale under the $400,000 price point are parking spaces, lockers and vacant land.
For housing advocates, it touched on a longtime frustration
What Doug Ford insiders say about Danielle Smith’s plan for transgender rights — and what it means for Ontario
The premier was shaking his head before the reporter had finished asking him the question.
“No,” said Doug Ford when queried Monday about whether the Ontario government would consider “any similar action” to the controversial moves Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is making on transgender rights.
“We have a law here, we’re leaving everything alone,” he said.
By immediately shutting down the possibility of his Progressive Conservatives following Alberta’s United Conservatives’ decision to restrict youth hormone treatments and surgeries, Ford was, as is his wont, keeping in the mainstream of public opinion in Ontario.
Lost my vote.
Another church been burned by some scum.
