Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, amid collapsing domestic approval ratings, is witnessing full-scale abandonment in the provinces, which is taking place as he moves to implement martial law on Freedom Convoy protesters who simply want their basic human rights respected. Quebec is the latest province to revolt from the Canadian prime minister’s vaccine passport policy, Keean Bexte reported. “Trudeau is alone,” Bexte remarked. On Monday, Quebec Premier François Legault met with public health officials Monday night to discuss lifting the province’s vaccine passport system. That announcement came on Tuesday afternoon. Quebec thus becomes the fifth province to announce the end of...

Priests who resist blessing gay couples incur a curse, to heed Münster Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Dieter Geerlings, in a statement issued at a religious service in the queer community in Münster. “Human rights are at stake when it comes to homophobia. A radical change is necessary so that the curse can finally become a blessing," Geerlings said, quoting theologian Hildegund Keul. Many queer people, he says, feel hurt by the way the Church treats them. "The church must have the courage to welcome back those it has offended and still offends," Geerlings said. Only then can it become a sign...

An indicted former Clinton campaign attorney on Tuesday vigorously pushed back against accusations by special counsel John Durham, saying the special counsel was trying to politicize the criminal case and prejudice the jury. Attorneys for Michael Sussmann, the former Clinton campaign lawyer, filed a motion in federal court slamming Mr. Durham’s accusations of a broad spying operation against Donald Trump. Elsewhere, the technology executive identified in the case spoke out and leftist columnists at various media outlets went to work trashing the investigation. The response began when Mr. Sussmann’s attorneys demanded that a federal judge remove sections of Mr. Durham’s...

"Gold Dust Woman" was written and sung by Stevie Nicks. The take chosen for release on the 1977 Rumours album was reportedly recorded at 4 a.m., after a long night of attempts in the studio. Just before and during the final take, Stevie Nicks had wrapped her head (though not mouth) with a black scarf, veiling her senses to tap memories and emotions. Many unusual instruments were used in the recording, including an electric harpsichord with a jet phaser, which was marked with tape so Mick Fleetwood could play the right notes. To accentuate Nicks's vocals, Fleetwood broke sheets...

“Even while recognizing the good care afforded them by Catholic Charities 60 years ago, they begrudge that same care being extended to migrant children today.”The Archbishop of Miami has decried Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ comments this week belittling the plight of unaccompanied minors fleeing Central America for the United States. “At Governor DeSantis’ Monday meeting with a few former Pedro Pan kids in Miami’s Museum of the Cuban Diaspora, he described any comparison of unaccompanied minors from Cuba in the early 60’s with those from Central America today as ‘disgusting’”, Archbishop Thomas Wenski said during a Feb. 10 press conference....

Amid widespread protests over a ban on hijabs in schools, an Indian court has temporarily prohibited all forms of religious dress in schools while it considers a legal challenge to the hijab ban. The current conflict began in September 2021 when a girl’s preparatory school in the Indian state of Karnataka moved to ban hijabs, saying the Muslim headscarves violated the school’s dress code. In the months and weeks since, students at various schools in the region have protested the ban by wearing their hijabs and demanding to be let back into school. At the same time, mobs of Hindu...

The latest filing by Special Counsel John Durham vindicates reporting in 2017 by conservative radio host Mark Levin — citing mainstream media reports — and Breitbart News about attempts to spy on newly-installed President Donald Trump.The Durham filing alleges a different “track” of spying — this time, involving a private effort by a lawyer for the Hillary Clinton campaign — who says he was not acting on the campaign’s behalf, contrary to Durham’s allegations — to exploit government cell phone data, including at the White House, to suggest a connection between Trump and Russia. The 2017 reporting concerned evidence that...

(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) The White House has revoked its support for the Eastern Mediterranean pipeline, a 1,900km project that will transport natural gas from an Israeli-owned offshore drilling site to Egypt, Greece, and Cyprus, The Gatestone Institute reported. The Biden administration discussed the decision with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan but apparently did not include the pipeline’s main beneficiaries—Israel, Greece, Egypt or Cyprus—in the talks. The White House said the EastMed pipeline will harm its “climate goals” and escalate tensions in the region without serving viable economic interests, Keep Talking Greece reported. Erdoğan has opposed the EastMed pipeline because...

Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he would not vote for a Supreme Court nominee were another vacancy to open up before the 2024 presidential election.“I’m not going to be hypocritical on that,” he said, according to Reuters. “If it comes a week or two weeks before, like it did with our last Supreme Court nominee, I think that’s a time it should go to the next election,” he added, referring to former President Donald Trump’s nomination of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett right before the 2020 election.Manchin opposed confirming Barrett at the time, claiming, “Rushing to confirm...

Corn-based ethanol may be more emission-intensive than previously thought and is likely contributing to more emissions than gasoline, a new study finds. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that the environmental benefits of the U.S. renewable fuel standard (RFS) remain unclear. Under the Renewable Fuel Standard, oil refiners are required to blend growing amounts of renewable fuels into gasoline and diesel. The RFS raised corn prices, which in turn expanded the land used for corn crops. This increases emissions from the conversion of land to corn crops, and raises fertilizer and water usage, says...

Drivers attempting to cheat in the HOV lanes in Washington over the years have tried a variety of tactics to fool state troopers.
