Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot urged black voters to help her ‘keep the seat’ from falling to white or Hispanic challengers, despite an appalling spike in crime.
As Lightfoot seeks a second term in the upcoming February 28 election, some business leaders concerned about the continuing crime wave say they don’t think she is up to the task.
In rallies on Saturday, Lightfoot told the South and West side residents who don’t support her to not bother voting at all. Chicago’s South Side is a historically-black area.
Lori may lose. Pity as she’s great fun.

The 2023 Canadian Powerlifting Championships in Richmond, B.C., became ground zero for the debate over the inclusion of transgender women in female sport categories on Thursday, when members and supporters of the International Consortium on Female Sport made their stance on the matter clear.
The group, which advocates for a “dedicated category for athletes born female,” held signs and wore stickers reading “XY ≠ XX,” in protest of the policy that allowed a transgender woman from Calgary to compete in the event, where she won the bronze medal in her weight category.
CBC is totally on board of course.
Tucker Carlson Calls Out Biden's Anti-White "Equity" Initiative
"Here's how it works, every single person in the U.S. will qualify for one of Joe Biden's many protected categories except straight white men."

A prominent Los Angeles Catholic official, who served the community for over four decades, was fatally shot Saturday in a California suburb.
David O’Connell, the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, was found inside a Hacienda Heights home with a severe gunshot wound to his upper torso and pronounced dead, according to CBS Los Angeles.
He was 69 years old.

The truth behind the 300-year-old ‘Mermaid mummy’ ‘caught in the Pacific Ocean’ and worshipped for its immortality-giving powers
A mummified ‘mermaid’ that is worshipped in Japan has been exposed as nothing more than a fabrication of cloth, paper, and cotton decorated with fish parts.
The creature was allegedly caught in the Pacific Ocean, off the Japanese island of Shikoku, between 1736 and 1741, and is now kept in a temple in the city of Asakuchi.
Legend says it has the power to grant immortality, and during the Covid-19 pandemic it was worshipped in a bid to ward off the virus.

Haiti is definitely a country in need. Armed gangs have taken control of much of the nation. Murder and kidnapping is rampant. And the government seems incapable of asserting its authority over the widespread lawlessness.
What’s less clear is how two small, relatively slow and lightly armed Canadian naval ships just deployed to Haiti can help alleviate its troubles — troubles that for the most part exist on land, not at sea.

Today, free speech online is under siege from all angles. From the state, with its ever-expanding hate-speech laws. From tech companies, who see it as their moral mission to ‘protect’ users from ‘harm’. And from the media, who present the online world as a cesspool of ‘misinformation’ and ‘hate speech’, in need of ever-tighter moderation. Now these forces have combined, as part of a new push to regulate the interactions of online gamers.

A bit more on Ms. Raquel Evita Saraswati
And do have a look at the “Raquel Evita Saraswati Fan Club.” Apparently she was exposed in 2008 but somehow managed to carry on!
I note she has made her twitter account private.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre praised the “courageous whistleblowers” in Canada’s security apparatus for leaking top-secret documents on China’s interference in the 2021 federal election, as he levelled criticism at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for “covering up the interference of the authoritarian regime in Beijing.”

Is Canada turning into an electoral autocracy?
I ask this question in all seriousness. We’ve just witnessed the final chapter to the Emergencies Act invoked almost a year ago by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Friday afternoon declared legitimate in the report by Commissioner Paul Rouleau who headed the Public Order Enquiry Commission.

CLEARFIELD, Pa. (AP) — The court-ordered release of a trove of government photos, videos, maps and other documents involving the FBI’s secretive search for Civil War-era gold has a treasure hunter more convinced than ever of a coverup — and just as determined to prove it.
Dennis Parada waged a legal battle to force the FBI to turn over records of its excavation in Dents Run, Pennsylvania, where local lore says an 1863 shipment of Union gold disappeared on its way to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. The FBI, which went to Dents Run after sophisticated testing suggested tons of gold might be buried there, has long insisted the dig came up empty.
