Gavin Newsom: the chameleon who destroyed California

Gavin Newsom may be saddled with an awful record. But the California governor is rapidly emerging as a leading bet – even a frontrunner in some polls – in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. How is this possible?

The simple answer is that Newsom might be the ultimate candidate for the attention-deficient generation. He is a political chameleon who changes positions compulsively – not according to facts, but to whatever best seems to fit the national mood. We witnessed this after last year’s presidential election, when he began ‘bro-washing’ his slick image with some cringe-worthy appearances on podcasts. One of these even included an embrace of gun ownership – a surprise to many of his supporters who had voted for him on the basis of his strong anti-gun record.

Racist Canada should just let everyone in to please the Star

Canada’s immigration approach is becoming more exclusionary. It’s not the direction we should be heading

In 2023, Canada marked the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act, a law that explicitly banned nearly all Chinese immigrants for nearly a quarter century. Many see it as a black mark in Canadian history because it deliberately targeted and expelled the very Chinese labourers who had done the dangerous, back-breaking work of building the Canadian Pacific Railway, only to be cast aside once their labour was no longer needed.

The centenary was a moment of reflection. But since then, Canada has become more restrictive, not less. Rising immigration refusal rates, while not racially explicit, are carrying the pattern of exclusion forward.

‘90s Heroin Chic Is Back … For Boys

Eating disorders are on the rise among young males.

While many of us have been distracted by the controversy over the American Eagle ad with Sydney Sweeney and her “good jeans,” we have paid little attention to the ways in which fashion trends are affecting teenage boys and young men. Rejecting the buff bodies and the building of muscle definition of the past, teenage boys and young men have become increasingly attracted to the idea of starving themselves to achieve the perfect emaciated look. Thinness is everything to them, and some of them are obsessively measuring their food intake in order to look like waifish celebrities like Timothee Chalamet. Today’s boys are challenging the gender norm more than ever before.

“These are Worrying Times for My Generation”

Pride Day has just passed in my hometown of Hull. Pride flags were publicly displayed, replacing Union flags; countless posters were plastered on shop windows and adverts invaded social media feeds. One could not miss that the event was approaching. Fortunately, away in Stockport watching football, I escaped the parade of men in dresses; their giveaway cock and balls openly dangling between their legs. This came weeks into Pride Month, a fleeting four weeks dedicated to the LGBTQwerty community. Pride awareness, however, does not stop there. There are more upcoming events in a local town around Hull: the Pride of Beverley, which is also hosting a Dog Walk of Pride – hold me back. It is evident this community is always in the limelight. What for though? Scaring children, exploiting women and playing fancy dress?

Epping migrant hotel to close following weeks of protest after resident was charged with sexual assault

Migrants are set to be moved out of a controversial asylum hotel after a council was granted a injunction to shut it down.

Council leaders won the first stage of their battle close the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, on planning permission grounds after it became an epicentre of anti-immigration protests, including some which turned violent.

The demonstrations were sparked when a migrant living at the hotel was charged with a series of sexual offences, including some against a 14-year-old girl.

A victory but a small one, the UK needs new leaders, more Trump less 3rd world chump.

Oklahoma will test incoming teachers from New York & California with ‘America-first’ exam

Teachers from New York and California who apply to teach in Oklahoma will now have to answer questions meant to screen out “woke indoctrinators” with left-wing views — the latest attempt by Oklahoma officials to push the state’s education system rightward.

The test’s 50 questions will cover topics about U.S. government, religion and gender, according to examples shared by the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters (R). Teachers unions have criticized the move as a political stunt that will discourage applicants as Oklahoma faces a teacher shortage.

He’s back! Pierre Poilievre returns to Ottawa but real challenges to his leadership still persist

Pierre Poilievre won the Battle River-Crowfoot byelection in rural Alberta Monday evening.

But to call it a “victory” is to suggest there was anything competitive or surprising about it.

The outcome was never in doubt, not in a riding where Conservative candidates routinely win more than 80 per cent of the vote — and where Damien Kurek, the incumbent who stepped down to open up the byelection for Poilievre, won with 83 per cent in last April’s federal election.

What Is the Democrats’ Endgame?

Americans are more divided than we have been since the first time the Democrats started and lost a civil war, with every norm being tossed out and every legitimate exercise of lawfully attained power by us normals being shamelessly obstructed. The left rejects the idea that patriotic Americans have any moral right to participate in theirown governance, to pursue their own interests, or to assert their own rights. To them,we are nothing but thralls, tax-generating slaves who must feed them, fuel them, fight for them, and obey their commands while meekly accepting their calumny.

They are delusional. Things aren’t going to work out that way.

Canada’s housing crisis stirs revealing flights of fiction and fantasy

Douglas Todd: The country’s housing emergency is so powerful, distorted and puzzling that many are prone to say, “You couldn’t make this up.” But some B.C. writers are doing just that, through intrepid works of fiction.

An untold number of works have been written about Canada’s housing crisis, especially regarding the Vancouver, Victoria and Toronto regions.

A flood of media articles, industry reports, scholarly analyses and books continue to dig into the impact on housing of foreign capital, construction costs, zoning bylaws, the profit motive, government policy and more.

Now we’re seeing a new kind of exploration of the problem — in fiction.

Canada’s trade strategy suffers from delusions of friendship

Ontario Premier Doug Ford recently declared on CNN that in Canada, U.S. President Donald Trump is the “most disliked politician in the world . . . because he has attacked his closest family member.” In January, just before Mark Carney announced his leadership bid for the Liberal Party, he appeared on The Daily Show and told Americans that Canada and the United States could be “friends with benefits.” Are prominent U.S. leaders making time for media appearances to defend Canada as their “closest family member”?

Believing that trading partners are family, or friends even, betrays our leaders’ wide-eyed view of the world that not even historical precedent appears able to shake. It has invited complacency and deepens the damaging economic consequences when trade relationships evolve or break apart.

Very Cold War: Brutal Arctic Conditions Are Testing U.S. and Allied Forces

Elite combat troops shred their physiques to look like Hollywood hunks. In the Arctic, that can kill you.

The cold eats away at soldiers, who lose on average 3,000 calories a day while on exercises in the Arctic Circle—even while eating full rations and before they have taken part in any strenuous activity.

“The modern soldier goes to the gym, likes to look lean with washboard abs, so they don’t have any fat on their muscles,” said Swedish Army Sgt. Maj. Fredrik Flink, who leads winter-warfare courses for U.S. Marines and other forces in northern Sweden.

“After three days here, they are really worn down. That is the biggest problem we have,” he said. “Basic things aren’t sexy nowadays.”
