Swimming pools are a ‘disaster’ for women because of ‘certain clientele,’ says German woman in viral video

A video of a German woman describing a “certain clientele” who she says has ruined German swimming pools has gone viral. In the video, she speaks of her childhood memories of a time when swimming pools were carefree and peaceful. Now, she says she fears for her own personal safety and her belongings.

Who does Mark Carney think we are, anyway?

Who does Mark Carney think we are, anyway?

What is the story Mark Carney is telling us about Canada? And why is he doing it?

These seem like ridiculous questions on the surface, because the Prime Minister’s entire political career has unfolded in a maple-soaked tourism commercial, thanks to the ferocious nationalism unleashed by Donald Trump’s unhinged threats. It’s like asking what ice has to do with hockey: The question seems to miss the point.

Debunking the American Left’s Favorite Lie

Debunking the American Left’s Favorite Lie

The American Left’s most favorite lie is that Nazis and Fascists were conservatives. They were not; instead, they were cut from the same socialist cloth that America’s Left idolizes and increasingly personifies. The reason for the Left’s false equation of Nazis and Fascists with conservatism is that America’s Left needs it to advance their ends — and, as in the case of Democrats’ Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo, they want America to ignore the obvious.

Conrad Black: Canada Needs to End Its Self-Flagellation and Focus on Building a Prosperous Future

Conrad Black: Canada Needs to End Its Self-Flagellation and Focus on Building a Prosperous Future

The anniversary of Canadian Confederation is traditionally a time to wallow in orotund platitudes about our good fortune to have this country, and the admirable qualities of all those who discovered it, settled it, and built it. This custom has perhaps been tempered slightly by the heckling of dissenters and particularly lamentations, some of them sincere and justified and some false and defamatory, over the historic treatment of indigenous peoples. My intuition is that the Canadian tendency to emulate popular cultural trends in the United States is part of the source of the current widespread national self-criticism over treatment of the indigenous.

SCOTUS delivers a win for common sense with ruling on women’s sports — but activists say the war isn’t over

SCOTUS delivers a win for common sense with ruling on women’s sports — but activists say the war isn’t over

The Supreme Court just handed down a huge win for biological truth and common sense.

In a 6-3 opinion Tuesday, the court upheld state bans on biological males playing in female sports, ruling against challenges in West Virginia and in Idaho.

And for many athletes turned activists, including former college swimmers Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan and retired pro soccer player Elizabeth Eddy, it feels like a sweet victory.

Washington Handed Iran the Paper and Kept the War

Washington Handed Iran the Paper and Kept the War

Great powers, losing patience, sign a document and persuade themselves that it is strategy. The Islamic Republic of Iran has watched this habit in Western capitals for over 40 years and learned to feed on it. What it had not yet absorbed is that an administration can run two contradictory instruments at once, letting the weaker one absorb the enemy’s hopes while the stronger one quietly sets the terms.

Pope Leo pleads with ultra-conservative sect not to ordain own bishops

Pope Leo pleads with ultra-conservative sect not to ordain own bishops

Pope Leo has made a last-ditch attempt to persuade a rebel group of ultra-conservative Catholics to abandon plans to ordain its own bishops without Vatican approval, calling the “schismatic act” a “sin of extreme gravity”.

The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), founded in the Swiss village of Ecône in 1970 to oppose liberalising reforms in the Catholic church, plans to ordain four new bishops at its seminary there on Wednesday.

Europe Discovers the Land of Plenty

Europe Discovers the Land of Plenty

The Great American State Fair opened on the National Mall this week, but the heartland is already the focus of international attention. As the United States, Canada, and Mexico host the World Cup, soccer fans from around the world are crisscrossing this country, gawking at the sheer abundance they find in our stores and restaurants.

Their astonishment is a helpful reminder of what makes America great. It gives the lie to the critics of the American way, both on the far right and left at home and abroad, who claim the system is fundamentally broken and rigged against ordinary people. The opportunities provided by capitalism are one of this country’s secret weapons, and our enemies are working night and day to disarm us.
