I think that a common theme among my conservative correspondents is: “is this the end of free elections?” Will our Democratic friends be fixing all the presidential elections from here on out? Will I have to bow to the liberal mob if I want a job? And so on.
I guess that I have a more optimistic outlook on things. But why, I asked myself?
Just what country is the top priority of the military and foreign policy establishment?
Former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who left the Trump administration amid mutual acrimony, has declared, in a Foreign Affairs op-ed cowritten with establishment foreign policy wonk Kori Schake, that he hopes a Biden administration won’t put America first. He didn’t say which country he thought a president of the United States should put first instead. But even so, it was one of the strangest statements a member of the U.S. government has ever made, and the bland reception it received is an indication of how deep the corruption is at the highest levels.
As soon as Macron appeared on TV to declare the new Covid-19 measures, I knew we were in trouble. Manu suffers from what poker players call a “tell”: an unconscious physical gesture that betrays the working of the mind. With President Macron it is the hands: he makes an Eiffel Tower of his fingers when stressed. When the tower of digits tumbled I said, “Full lockdown.”
Amnesty is openly demanding the persecution of anyone who criticises the woke trans orthodoxy.
Amnesty was founded to stand up for people who are punished for following the dictates of their conscience. ‘Prisoners of conscience’ – that was its chief focus; rallying people across the world to the cause of defending those who are jailed or persecuted for their beliefs. And now? Well, in an about-turn of eye-swivelling proportions, Amnesty now openly calls for the demonisation and even ousting from public life of people who have the ‘wrong’ beliefs; of those who have the temerity to act on their conscience in a way that the ideologues at Amnesty and in the rest of the NGO elite find distasteful. From defending freedom of conscience to trashing it – that’s quite the rebrand.
A prominent British MP has warned against sanitising the deadly “ideological virus” of Islamism, claiming the woke minority are threatening efforts to root out Islamic terrorism.
Writing exclusively for the Telegraph, former home secretary Sajid Javid slammed those who cry “Islamophobia” when Western governments seek to deal with the challenges of Islamist extremism.
Javid, who is himself a Muslim, claimed that Western liberal democracies are under threat from a “grotesque form of separatism” that needs to be confronted. He added that President Emmanuel Macron is right – a reference to the French leader’s crackdown on Islamist extremism.
You can be a world-champion cyclist, and even that will not protect you from being eviscerated by your sponsor if you as much as like on social media posts by mainstream conservative figures:
Apparel manufacturer Rapha has slammed world time trial champion Chloé Dygert over her social media conduct, saying the apology issued by Dygert for liking offensive and divisive posts on Twitter did not go far enough.
The statement was sent to Rapha customers via an email on Friday morning, and the apparel brand pulled no punches on Dygert, who recently inked a four-year deal with the Canyon-SRAM professional women’s team, which is sponsored by Rapha.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) scrubbed a tweet on Monday that included an anti-Semitic phrase often used by terrorist groups that seek the destruction of Israel.
Screenshots from the Internet Archive’s “Wayback Machine” show that Tlaib retweeted a Saturday post that included a graphic promoting Palestinian solidarity and the phrase “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.”
Could it be possible that the phrase “dark winter” has some sort of deeper meaning that most of us are not meant to understand? We have heard that phrase over and over again in recent weeks, and usually it has been used in discussions regarding the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic. But it also turns out that “Dark Winter” was also a code name for a high level simulation that was conducted back in 2001. That simulation envisioned a scenario in which a widespread smallpox attack was unleashed inside the United States. As you will see below, the simulation was “designed to spiral out of control”, and the hypothetical consequences were absolutely disastrous.
DETROIT—A contractor for Dominion Voting Systems who performed IT work at the TCF Center in Michigan and a former state senator who was a poll challenger both say that the voting machines used in the Nov. 3 election were connected to the internet.
Melissa Carone—a freelance IT worker who submitted a sworn affidavit on Nov. 10 detailing a barrage of what she called fraudulent actions during her time at the voting center—said she was called into a hotel in Allen Park on Nov. 2 where the whole Dominion team was staying in order to attend a training of sorts.
While Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland glossed the dire results of her financial update — there hasn’t been a real budget in 600-plus days — COVID-19 infections were also going off the charts.
Provincial health officials on Friday recorded a record high of 1,855 new cases, and the fifth straight day of more than 20 new deaths.
Last Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau voted against a Conservative motion to ban Huawei’s 5G network in Canada. It’s just another example of Trudeau turning his back on Canadians to protect the interests of his friends in Communist China.
The Liberal government is preparing to spend up to $100 billion to kick start the post-pandemic economy as it stares down a record-high deficit projection of more than $381 billion for this fiscal year.
In a long-awaited economic statement, tabled today, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said the government’s immediate priority is to do “whatever it takes” to help Canadians and businesses stay safe and solvent.
The short-term stimulus package is valued at $70 billion to $100 billion over roughly three years. The government says the stimulus spending — intended to build a greener, more inclusive, more innovative and competitive economy — will launch after a vaccine is distributed and life begins to return to normal.
More from CTV… Federal deficit on track to exceed $381B, as spending increases in wake of second COVID-19 wave
OTTAWA — The federal government is unveiling a new round of financial supports to respond to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, as the latest projections show the national deficit is projected to hit a new high: at least $381.6 billion this fiscal year.
The deficit is growing for several reasons: ongoing pandemic supports, $25.1 billion in newly-announced programs aimed at getting badly-hit businesses through the next few months, as well as the early allocations being made to help rebuild the economy once the urgent health crisis passes. The Liberals are also making moves towards boosting transfer payments to the provinces.
Many Liberals will benefit.
But… Opposition parties signal they will not support the Liberals’ spending plans. Is an election next?
OTTAWA—The federal Opposition parties greeted the long-awaited economic update with a big collective thumbs down.
The initial reactions of Opposition leaders signal new spending measures, totaling $25 billion, may not find support across the aisle, which could trigger another crisis of confidence in the minority Trudeau government.
This is BS, it’s the opening gambit for taxpayer extortion by the Bloc and NDP, Trudeau will buy them off and survive.
The meaning of evidence and what is required to gather it is lost on the cynically ignorant media.
Those of us who have attended law school spent a full academic year taking an Evidence course. We discovered, to our surprise, real-life examples as to how law actually operates.
A bestselling book offers a prescription for race relations that casts whites as sinners and blacks as children.
In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in police custody last May, millions of Americans have been asking the question: How do we best fight racism? Books that give a compelling answer have been flying off the shelves. With the possible exception of Ibram X. Kendi, no writer has seen their profile rise more during this period than Robin DiAngelo, whose book White Fragility was already a New York Times best seller; it has been on that list for 110 weeks.
