The University of Waterloo has an opening for a tenure track position in geography, earth science, environmental science, or sustainability - but white men need not apply. According to a listing posted by the Canadian University last month, the position is only available to women, or 'qualified individuals who self-identify as women, transgender, non-binary, or two-spirit' - a gender-variant derived from Native American culture. Men, meanwhile, will not be considered, the school says - especially if they are white. The successful applicant would join the school's Natural Science and Engineering Research division in an Assistant Professor's role - a position...

WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives welcomed reports that Twitter Inc (TWTR.N) is poised to agree to a sale to Elon Musk and called on the Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) chief executive to return former President Donald Trump to Twitter. "Hey, @elonmusk it's a great week to free @realDonaldTrump," tweeted the House Republican Conference, which currently represents 209 lawmakers. But a watchdog group, Media Matters for America, warned against exactly what some Republicans cheered. "There is still time for Twitter’s board to prevent some of the worst harms. Any negotiations to sell Twitter to Musk...

If you’ve ever licked your chops over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joining a drag show, prepare your sweet tooth for some eye candy. She might not be a man in drag, but she’s posed to be the next best thing.

Joe Biden and other Green New Deal advocates continue to push for electric vehicles but without the necessary domestic supply of batteries. For now, the United States is dependent on the Chinese Communist Party for the necessary critical minerals and other elements needed to build them. The two most essential and expensive components of lithium-ion batteries, cathodes and anodes, are almost exclusively produced in China. According to Axios, the U.S. is behind Europe and China in its battery capabilities: Demand for batteries will skyrocket over the coming decades. If the U.S. wants to control its own energy destiny, it’ll need...

Mark Levin: "If you believe in America first, from our Declaration to our Constitution to our founding principles, to our economic system, then you must reject American Marxism, nationalism, populism and all the other -isms… Reject these dangerous ideologies.

ROME — The city of Bologna, Italy, has announced a pilot program to reward “virtuous” citizens for recycling, taking public transportation, and curbing energy usage. The program, which has been likened to China’s social credit system, is slated to go into effect in September, 2022, using a “smart citizen wallet” app for cell phones. “In September, we will start with a pilot project for the city: at the center is the virtuous citizen, the one who, for example, separates waste well or does not waste energy, or uses public transport and does not receive fines, or actively uses the Bologna...

BALTIMORE — The Ever Forward returned Friday to the Seagirt Marine Terminal in Baltimore to pick up its containers. The ship ran aground on March 13 in the Chesapeake Bay after leaving Baltimore. The 1,095-foot vessel, which could fit three football fields end to end, did not move for 35 days. A couple of attempts in March failed to free the ship. Crews tried dredging and push/pull tugboat operations. Then, from April 9-16, hundreds of containers were off-loaded from the stuck ship so crews could try for a third time to refloat it, the Coast Guard said. Crews then refloated...

You can see it coalescing. Democrats know they are going to be slaughtered in the 2022 midterm elections, and they need to do something to stop the hemorrhage. One by one the stones fall into place as to how they plan on retaining control. It will take four steps. They need the pandemic. They need a crisis not to waste. Fauci wants the CDC to have the power to unilaterally control the country- above Congress, the President and the Supreme Court. Dr. Anthony Fauci took major heat after lamenting on Thursday that it was "disturbing" that a federal court would...

New research findings suggest that providers are poor predictors of patient satisfaction with anesthesia and perioperative comfort. Researchers discovered that only a low-level association was demonstrated between a patient and provider's satisfaction with anesthesia, even when individual measures of patient satisfaction such as pain and anxiety were isolated. Conscious anesthesia during ocular surgery is a common practice used to ease pain, discomfort and anxiety. However, there is a varying level of satisfaction among providers and patients about the effectiveness and purpose of anesthesia. Currently, there is no standard for the type or amount of anesthesia administered to a patient, so...

Does time exist? The answer to this question may seem obvious: Of course it does! Just look at a calendar or a clock. But developments in physics suggest the non-existence of time is an open possibility, and one that we should take seriously. How can that be, and what would it mean? It'll take a little while to explain, but don't worry: Even if time doesn't exist, our lives will go on as usual. A crisis in physics Physics is in crisis. For the past century or so, we have explained the Universe with two wildly successful physical theories: general...

The China-Solomon Islands security pact has triggered significant unease among the US and its Pacific allies. A US delegation openly warned the Solomon Islands’ government, saying any step to establish a permanent military presence by Beijing in the southern pacific nation would receive a strong response. Australia has issued a warning over the Solomon Islands-China security pact following significant efforts by the US and its allies to thwart the deal. On Monday, Defence Minister Peter Dutton said that Australia could only preserve peace by preparing for war. "The only way you can preserve peace is to prepare for war, and...

A Russian Olympic gymnast widely believed to be the mistress of Russian President Vladimir Putin has emerged to lead a patriotic rhythmic gymnastics festival in Moscow. Alina Kabaeva, 38, stepped out to lead her annual 'Alina Festival' at the Russian capital's VTB Arena and delivered a speech to the press in which she appeared to link the Soviet victory over Nazism in the Second World War to today's events in Ukraine. It marked a rare public appearance for the former gymnast, who is thought to be the Russian strongman's mistress and mother of four of his children whom he has...

The top brass at Hillary Clinton's defunct presidential campaign made quite a splash last week, making an 11th hour request to block the release of evidence in Special Counsel John Durham's upcoming trial against attorney Michael Sussmann by arguing it is protected by attorney-client privilege. But the sweeping requests for confidentiality — including research from former MI6 agent and opposition researcher Christopher Steele — face a high hurdle, experts told Just the News. That's because the very subjects the Clinton campaign now seeks to protect — such as its now-discredited anti-Trump research — were widely distributed without regard to privilege...

Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe predicts more indictments will come from classified documents from special counsel John Durham's investigation. "The coordinated effort here that took place in 2016 was wide and broad," Ratcliffe told the Charlie Kirk Show last week, The Epoch Times reported. "I think it involved folks in the Clinton campaign, in the Democratic national party, elected officials, media officials, folks that coordinated — intelligence community officials, and on down the line." Durham is involved in two active prosecutions stemming from his Trump-Russia collusion probe. Former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussman faces an upcoming trial...
