Something is Very Wong with San Francisco

A Chinese national was just appointed onto the San Francisco Elections Commission:

The appointment of a noncitizen – who cannot vote – to the San Francisco Elections Commission is a ‘big problem’ as China is playing the ‘long game’ to weaken the U.S., according to a top Republican senator.

Kelly Wong, an immigration rights activist and immigrant who came to the U.S. in 2019 from Hong Kong, was unanimously appointed by San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors to the city’s Elections Commission on February 14.

California voters approved a measure in 2020 to eliminate the citizenship requirement to serve on San Francisco boards – and Wong is believed to be the first noncitizen ever to sit on the commission.

Here is her victory speech. Some people don’t think this is a good idea.

Quebec teacher challenges Education Minister’s gender transition policy

Quebec’s Ministry of Education has been politically captured:

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces the launch of a constitutional challenge in Quebec’s Superior Court against the Ministry of Education. This action is brought on behalf of a teacher who refused to lie to the parents of a 14-year-old student seeking a female-to-male gender transition, as her school administration had ordered her to do.

Following directives in the Education Minister’s Guide and Procedures on trans and non-binary persons’ gender identity, the student’s Montreal high school created a set of procedures to make it illegal to inform parents (or guardians) when their child seeks a gender transition.

Making It All Make Sense

In the Reader Tips before the last one, SDA regular ‘richfisher’ pointed out that Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mike Benz was a much watch. This partially emanated from a recent Scott Adams podcast episode, in which he asked a whole lot of questions about various happenings in the world the past 10 years that just don’t make any sense. So why are they happening? Adams extrapolated some of the key points of what Benz said in the interview, did some of his own research, and added his own insight. The start of this portion of his much longer podcast can be watched here. Think of it as “The Unifying Theory Of Modern Insanity” (TUTOMA).

Update: Some have suggested that this law change, in 2016, is what has permitted the CIA and U.S. Military Complex to turn its extensive forces on the American people.

Misunderstanding Tucker Carlson

Here is an interesting discussion between two gentlemen who I generally respect and watch often. They’re talking about Tucker Carlson’s recent missives from Russia. While they make a few good points, I believe they mostly have misunderstood why Carlson is publishing the videos he has. Here are a few comments on this video that much more resonate with me:

The left/right divide is simply not the crux of the struggle in the West. It’s elitism vs populism.

Pointing out the cleanliness and safety of Moscow’s underground works even better for Western Europe. Until quite recently we had that. Most people who live today in Paris, Berlin, Rome etc. can remember a time when public spaces where clean and safe. Then politics moved dramatically to the left and we have a world in which the lives of ordinary people has become highly susceptible to crime, financially precarious and public spaces look like shit. There is a disconnect between the upper echelons of politics and ordinary people. If it goes on for too long, the consequences could be grave indeed. The majority of people are utterly disappointed with politicians, if that doesn’t change over the next couple of years through democratic change at the top, people will indeed question the entire political system.

It’s not complicated. Our cities are crumbling while our leaders take care of other countries. We grew up being told Moscow was a shit hole. He’s using it for an example of how we’ve been lied to. Also, it shows by comparison how bad cities are. He’s not saying overall Russia is great. He’s simply highlighting how far we’ve slipped. Not complicated.

What do you think?

A Master Class in Dealing with Adversarial Media “Journalists”

Kaitlan Collins is employed by CNN but is nothing more than a Deep State UniParty apparatchik. In this interview with Elise Stefanik, carefully watch the pro-Democrat stance that Collins frames every single question. If she were interviewing Biden, the hardest question she’d ask is “What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?” Kudos to Stefanik for not backing down to this corrupt hack.

Clueless Sylvia Jones Defends Trudeau’s Emergencies Act

Ontario’s deputy premier and former solicitor general has come to the defence of the federal government after its unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act was ruled to be a violation of constitutional rights.

Speaking in Burlington, Ont., Sylvia Jones — now the province’s health minister — said people in Ontario should not be “held hostage” by invasive and disruptive protests.

On Tuesday, the Federal Court ruled Ottawa’s use of the Emergencies Act to end to so-called “Freedom Convoy” in 2022 was “unreasonable.” The government used the unprecedented and wide-sweeping law to help it break up a weeks-long demonstration that was set up in downtown Ottawa.

It’s too bad Ms. Jones never bothered to educate herself about the Nuremberg Code. Even just the first of the ten points would be useful:

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion, and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.

DEI Ensures That Canada Will DIE!

If you’ve ever thought that not hiring the best people is a sure recipe for success, discard that common sense!

There’s no evidence that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives reduce prejudice, and they may even increase it, says a Canadian professor who reviewed decades of research for a new report.”

“Proponents of DEI instruction make the bold claim that ‘it works.’ That is, they claim that it’s effective in changing behaviour toward the positive. That claim is not supported by the empirical evidence,” the study’s author, Laurier professor David Haskell, said in a press release announcing his findings. “There’s clear empirical evidence that certain aspects of DEI instruction lead to greater prejudice and even harm.”

Equally concerning for Haskell has been the widespread adoption of DEI initiatives without a robust examination of its efficacy in workplaces.

“DEI instruction is now aggressively entrenched at all levels of our educational system from kindergarten up to university,” Haskell told National Post in an email on Tuesday. “Core concepts of the instruction such as ‘white privilege’ and ‘implicit bias’ are promoted as verified truths. But the research shows that these concepts are not rooted in solid, empirical evidence. Ironically, the public organizations we have charged with providing factual knowledge are, on this front, doing the opposite.”
