Making New York unliveable again.

Highly recommended: Angelo M. Codevilla's The War On Us.

From the comments:

"This is the culmination of the Left’s assumption of moral and intellectual superiority: the implication that all those who resist them, even to the extent of verbal disagreement, are therefore enemies to be destroyed. It could not have eventuated any other way."

Children wearing sunscreen, religious garments at the root of vitamin D deficiency, rise in rickets: U.K. doctor

We are letting children pop pills, rather than go out to play. And rather than trying to engage with and educate ethnic-minority groups about the importance of allowing their children to expose their skin to sunlight, we’re giving them a prescription and turning our backs.

While it’s a culturally sensitive issue, surely the problems associated with parents — mainly Muslim — who insist their children be covered up during gym class or, in some cases, wear a niqab or burka to and from school, need to be addressed.

The irony is that all this behaviour is driven by fear — fear that your children will be abducted; fear that they will get skin cancer; fear around the male gaze — and this has given birth to a very real, demonstrable threat: vitamin D deficiency.

maz2 put up a link to this in yesterday's tips,I think it is worth repeating.

"Fontana, 63, wearing a charcoal-coloured suit and accompanied by his wife, Vicky, made no comment as Justice Ronald Marion said there was sufficient evidence produced in the two-day hearing to warrant a trial."

Breach of trust by a public officer
Uttering forged documents
Fraud under $5,000

Maximum penalties upon conviction are from five to 10 years in prison

The CBC and Globe both missed this story. Could it be because Fontana is a former Liberal cabinet minister?

The federal government thinks you should be forced to hand over your DNA upon arrest. All those 'baby step' to freedom you thought the Cons were taking? They only exist in your head.

"Sunday 13th October,

Dear Mum, Dad and Georgie,

It's very cold now. It snowed last night. The blizzard blew my very poorly insulated window open and I had to sleep wearing my hat. I'm nervous about spending winter here. I have a radiator in my cell but it's the Arctic breeze that makes the place very cold. I heard that from December Murmansk is dark for six weeks. God, I hope I'm out by then."
