BBC faked Trump’s Jan 6 speech

‘The BBC “doctored” a Donald Trump speech by making him appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot, according to an internal whistleblowing memo seen by The Telegraph.

A Panorama programme, broadcast a week before the US election, “completely misled” viewers by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to “fight like hell”, when in fact he said he would walk with them “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”.

Hex appeal: the rise of middle-class witches

Make up and costume test for actress Gale Sondergaard for the Wizard of Oz.

In King James VI of Scotland’s Daemonologie, written in 1597, he vigorously encourages witch-hunting and, in particular, the tossing of witches into the sea. Only the innocent would sink. As a way of identifying witches, it was clear and presumably efficient.

These days, we have no such clarity. But witches walk among us. I’m not talking about women in black pointy hats, but something far scarier: the middle-class witch. In the past, she might have been called a depressive, a spinster or a divorcée. Now, she’s probably a middle-aged woman in the Home Counties with a TikTok account, a litany of spells and deep trauma.

BARBER: Trump brings home deals, Carney brings home nothing

Both Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump were in Asia. Prime Minister Carney visited Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea; he addressed the ASEAN Summit at his first stop. His address to the Association of South East Asian Nations lasted about five minutes.

His speech was generally meaningless, included buzzwords from the late-20th-century free-trade model with an ESG-DEI overlay. Such words as multilateralism, a rule-based system, sustainability, and inclusivity were sprinkled throughout. He repeated his “rupture” comment and, at times, seemed to plead.

Will the budget kill Carney’s honeymoon?

OAKVILLE, ONT.—As any etymologist will tell you, the word “decide” stems from the Latin decidere, which means “to kill off.”

The idea is, whenever you decide on an action, you’re essentially killing off all other options.

This is why politicians don’t like to make tough decisions; they don’t like to kill off options that might be popular with certain segments of the population.

Such a fraud.

How Universities Radicalized Young Women and Launched the Sex Wars

Communist propaganda, arguments for lesbianism, accusations of white supremacy, and conspiracy theories about rape culture: perhaps not what the average 19-year-old (or tax-paying parent thereof) was expecting when she registered for Philosophy of Sexual Politics at Paterson State University in Wayne, New Jersey c. 1974. But that’s what she got.

The class was taught by Professor Paula Rothenberg, a prominent feminist leader who called for the “radical transformation of all our institutions.” With Alison Jaggar, Rothenberg would go on to co-author one of the first women’s studies textbooks (Feminist Frameworks: Alternative Theoretical Accounts of the Relations Between Women and Men [1978]). Later, she published White Privilege: Essential Readings on the Other Side of Racism (2002).

Her New Jersey classroom became the laboratory in which young women were encouraged “to rethink every aspect of our lives.”

A very interesting read.

Canada is caught between a President and a hard place

Amid the tempest over the tariff ads, including U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra’s indignant response, there’s something else the Ambassador said last week that should worry Canadians more, as well as Americans who are concerned about their country’s direction: His accusation that the ads quoting Ronald Reagan on tariffs amounted to “interfering in the political affairs of a sovereign nation.”

U.S. exceptionalism takes many forms, and one is political openness, including in the way foreign governments are able to wheel and deal throughout the U.S. largely in the same ways as American business entities. This has remained true throughout the years, even though other countries don’t like U.S. diplomats walking their halls of power in the same way. Other nations are sensitive to American authority and influence – Canada among them.


Canada is being pushed into a hard choice between an unwelcome union with the USA or being virtually frozen out economically states the author.

The problem as I see it is that there is very little left of “Canada” to defend.

Canada’s elites have turned our cities into 3rd World Migrant Dumpsters destroying the economic hopes and dreams of a generation of young citizens while benefiting handsomely themselves.

Our heritage has been trashed by the Marxist-thugs allowed to flourish within public institutions enabled by complicit governments and their corporate crony’s.

How many of you voted to rob your children or grand children of their fair shot at a decent life, of owning a home, of having a job and raising a family? 

They haven’t just broken the social contract they’ve smashed it to pieces and shoved the shards down your throat. 

Make no mistake the mass immigration of incompatible cultures is a deliberate effort to erase the old Canada and replace it with an exploitable underclass.

Anti-Trump ‘Elbows up’ pseudo-patriotism is the codswallop our contemptuous elites dole out to the very people they have been exploiting.

Trump threatens their place at the trough so now you’re their BFF “in this together” ally until you’re not.

Ford says he has ‘different recollection’ of talk with Carney about anti-tariff ad

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has a different recollection of his conversation with Prime Minister Mark Carney, who said he advised the Premier not to run an anti-tariff advertisement that angered U.S. President Donald Trump.

Mr. Ford also said the Prime Minister called him from his recent trip to Asia asking him to pull the ad, which featured a pro-free trade address from former president Ronald Reagan, but the Premier did not do so until days later.

The Premier added he would “never apologize” to Mr. Trump, as Mr. Carney did during his recent trip to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea.

THE INEVITABLE RACE WAR

It was really the rarest and quite honestly scariest of scenes.

What kicked it off was UKIP, the right-wing UK Independence Party, announcing a planned march in Whitechapel, a borough in the Tower Hamlets. The party’s announcement proclaimed it as one in a series of events to “reclaim Whitechapel from the Islamists.”

London Metropolitan Police almost instantly caved, banning UKIP from marching. They cited a “realistic prospect for serious disorder.”

And who would cause that disorder? The Met wouldn’t say, but everybody knew.

The Ignoble, Ignorable UN

Trump has kept US foreign policy from bowing to the United Nations — but future Democratic presidents are unlikely to do the same.

If Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris or even Gavin Nuisance were president of the United States, our foreign policy would be made subservient to the United Nations. As President Trump proved about two weeks ago, it’s easy to ignore the UN — and get other nations to do the same — if a president is so minded.

Canada will start dispute resolution process over Stellantis jobs lost to U.S., Joly says

Canada is starting a dispute resolution process against Stellantis after the automaker said last month that it’s moving jobs to the U.S.

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly told a parliamentary committee Monday that Ottawa wants to recover some of the billions it has committed to Stellantis.

Joly said Stellantis moving production of the Jeep Compass from Brampton, Ont., to Illinois is a violation of a contract.

Canada’s first battery plant in Windsor will produce energy storage batteries as EV sales slump persists

Nextstar Energy Ltd. will produce batteries for energy storage, not electric vehicles, when its gigafactory in Windsor, Ont. begins commercial production next month.

Expanding into the growing market for energy storage production will keep the plant busy until EV sales pick up again, said Danies Lee, chief executive of Nextstar.

“The EV market is slowed down,” said Lee, chief executive of Nextstar. “It’s like a trend that will come soon, but it does not come as soon as we expect it, so while we are waiting, we have this opportunity from the (energy storage system) ESS market.”

The Most Interesting Moments from President Trump’s Return to ’60 Minutes’

After five years, President Donald Trump returned to CBS’s 60 Minutes for an extensive sit-down interview with Norah O’Donnell. While nowhere near as wild as his previous appearance, the interview was significant and newsworthy.

NDP says abstention is an option on budget vote

The NDP is not ruling out the possibility that some or all of its seven MPs could abstain when the minority Liberal government’s budget is put to a vote in the House of Commons.

The government has warned of the possibility of a snap election unless at least one other party steps forward to allow approval of the budget, which will be tabled Tuesday.

NDP Interim Leader Don Davies said it’s possible that some NDP MPs will opt to vote neither for nor against the budget.

Mayors to Cities: Drop Dead

Far-left policies on policing, education, and taxation are pushing Los Angeles, Chicago, and others to the brink.

Rick Cole has spent several decades running cities, both as an elected official and as a planner. He has worked in suburban Azusa, California, and progressive-dominated Santa Monica and currently sits on the Pasadena City Council. Yet as he looks out at the urban future, he feels despair—most particularly, about the city of Los Angeles, where he recently departed as deputy mayor and chief deputy controller.
