JK Rowling has criticised Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer after he said “trans women are women” when he weighed into the debate on gender identity. The Harry Potter author claimed the party could “no longer be counted on to defend women’s rights” in a series of tweets rebuffing the politician. She also claimed Sir Keir “publicly misrepresented” the 2010 Equality Act which legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. In her posts, the 56-year-old writer said women’s anger was “growing” on the topic. Her criticism came after the opposition leader said: “A woman is a...

The University of Michigan has apologized for sending an email calling for “the advancement” of “anti-Semitism.” “If we are to become a more diverse, equitable and inclusive University, we must continue our journey and renew our commitment to this work, which includes the advancement of anti-racism, anti-ableism, anti-Semitism, gender equity and building a climate resistant to sexual misconduct,” the email read, in part. The school apologized for the email, and a second email was sent out which added the word “dismantling” in front of “anti-Semitism:” “Earlier today an e-mail was sent to our campus community outlining our commitment to the...

Drug overdoses in Colorado are seemingly spiking just a few years after the state’s elected Democrats decriminalized the possession of fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and meth. This week, five Americans — three women and two men — were found dead inside a Commerce City, Colorado, apartment after having overdosed on fentanyl. In 2019, Democrats in the state legislature decriminalized possession of deadly drugs like fentanyl — making possession of four milligrams of fentanyl a misdemeanor rather than a felony. The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) notes that two milligrams of fentanyl can be deadly while one kilogram of fentanyl can...

It’s a weird feeling, watching the globe-wide death of reason and the herdlike behavior of virtue-signaling nincompoops. It’s a weird feeling, watching the globe-wide death of reason and the herdlike behavior of virtue-signaling nincompoops. There’s so much of this it’s hard to know where to begin. This is not intended to be a complete list, which would take too many pages, just an illustration of what I mean. Standing up for Ukraine in the Art World?Suddenly, as the preposterous mandates supposedly designed to stop the spread of the Wuhan virus begin to lift, the herd, bereft at the widespread mask-dumping,...

Explosions have been heard on the outskirts of the western Ukrainian city of Lviv after Russian forces launched an attack on a military base just 12 miles from the Polish border, killing at least nine people and injuring dozens more. According to Ukrainian sources, Vladimir Putin's forces had launched a missile strike on the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security, also known as Yavoriv military complex, just before 6am this morning. Initial reports suggested the base had been targeted by eight missiles, but Maksym Kozytskyi, Governor of the region later confirmed 30 cruise missiles had been fired, killing 35 people...

Six students from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point who were in Florida for spring break were hospitalized last week after after four ingested fentanyl-laced cocaine and two others tried to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and were overcome by the drug’s effects. The Daily Mail reported it received a statement from the academy: “The U.S. Military Academy is aware of the situation involving West Point cadets, which occurred Thursday night in Wilton Manors, FL,” a West Point spokesperson said in an email. “The incident is currently under investigation and no other details are available at this time.” … Fort Lauderdale...

This is an excursion into media excellence a place where we gave up being dogs for the Pavlov's of the mainstream media a long time ago. "mind numbed robots" El Rushbo spoke those words and I noticed something that links up with those words. Back in the 1960's the "Peace Sign" was next to the Vietcong Communist flag during the Vietnam War. Now yesterday I see it the "Peace Sign" next to the Ukrainian flag... And as those who tortured us with the COVID message now torture us with drama over Ukraine heck let's be honest there COVID restrictions and...

Posted on March 12, 2022 by Msgr. Charles PopeThe Cross Is a Fruit-Bearing Tree – A Homily for the Second Sunday of LentThe Second Sunday of Lent always features the Transfiguration. The first reason for this is that the trek up Mt. Tabor was one of the stops Jesus made with Peter, James, and John on His final journey to Jerusalem. It is commonly held that He did this to prepare His apostles for the difficult days ahead. There’s a line from an old spiritual that says, “Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down, sometimes I’m almost to the ground …...

Jussie Smollett’s sister expressed outrage that the actor was sentenced to jail for 150 days and ordered to pay more than $120,000 in restitution for faking a hate crime against himself. After sentencing Thursday, 41-year-old Jazz Smollett claimed her brother was innocent and criticized how the case was handled, WFMZ reported Friday. “This should not be a controversial statement because it is the absolute truth. What should be controversial is the entire miscarriage of justice his whole ordeal has been,” she said. Jussie Smollett was sentenced Thursday to 150 days in Cook County jail and 30 months on probation, and...

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)-— On March 8, 2022, the Indiana legislature, on the last day of the session, after byzantine twists and turns of the legislative process, voted to pass Constitutional Carry legislation three hours before the session ended for the year. Indiana Second Amendment activists have been working to pass similar legislation for years. In 2021, a Constitutional Carry (permitless) bill passed the House 64 to 31, before being killed in the Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by Liz Brown (R -15).In 2022, Senator Brown worked hard to kill a new bill, and came very close to succeeding. In 2022, the Republican...

Such actions move us one step closer to blurring the line between ourselves and the authoritarian tyrants we purport to denounce. American institutions are taking anti-Russian sanctions into their own hands, further normalizing a financial social credit system that can ostracize users for holding unacceptable beliefs — a move purported to punish Russia but that actually evokes the authoritarian country’s own system of tracking its citizens’ political views. Visa and Mastercard have suspended operations in Russia over the country’s invasion of Ukraine, blocking “cards issued by Russian banks from working in other countries and block[ing] people with cards issued elsewhere...

"And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear what the...

The gravesite of Mordechai and Esther An exchange of letters dating back to the year 1968, on display now in the National Library in honor of the upcoming festival of Purim, shows that representatives of Iranian Jewry sought to purchase the gravesite of Mordechai and Esther in the city of Hamedan, in western Iran, and that the Shah was amenable to their request. The letters, quoted by Israel Hayom, reveal the negotiations between representatives of the Jewish community in Iran and the Shah, who ruled the country until the Islamic Revolution of 1979. The representatives sought to purchase the...

Ukraine’s IT outsourcing industry threatened by Russian invasion Tom Li @itbusinessca Published: March 3rd, 2022 Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is having a wide-reaching impact on the global IT industry. Driven by its strong technology education base, Ukraine is well-known in Europe as a technology powerhouse and a key provider of IT outsourcing services; in fact, prior to the conflict, its IT sector accounted for around four per cent of the nation’s total GDP. As of March 2013, it had the fourth-highest number of certified IT professionals globally, behind the U.S., India, and Russia. The IT Ukraine Association reported that over...
