End State Diversity
Over the weekend, the violence in the capital Port-au-Prince ramped up once again. Heavily armed gangs attacked the National Palace and set part of the Interior Ministry on fire with petrol bombs.
It comes after a sustained attack on the international airport, which remains closed to all flights – including one carrying Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
He tried to fly back to Haiti from the United States last week, but his plane was refused permission to land. He was then turned away from the neighbouring Dominican Republic too.
Mr Henry is now stuck in Puerto Rico, unable to set foot in the nation he ostensibly leads.
Among those who did manage to get into the stricken Caribbean nation, though, was a group of US military personnel.
Following a request from the US State Department, the Pentagon confirmed it had carried out an operation to, as it put it, “augment the security” of the US embassy in Port-au-Prince and airlift all non-essential staff to safety.
Soon after, the EU said it had evacuated all of its diplomats, fleeing a nation mired in violence and facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since the 2010 earthquake.
Millions of Haitians, however, simply don’t have that luxury. They’re trapped, no matter how bad things get.

It was about 8 years ago I texted a Saskatchewan talk radio host privately and warned, “Please stop calling them ‘social justice warriors’. It’s too dismissive and it obfuscates what they’re doing. Call them what they are: dangerous Marxists.”

Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia
In an alarming turn of events, the Supreme Court of Canada has removed the mandatory minimum sentence for the crime of child luring, effectively placing the rights of the perpetrator above those of their victims, ignorant of the damages they and their families suffer that surely will last a lifetime.
Child luring falls under criminal code s. 172.1 and speaks to contacting or attempting to contact someone under the age of 18 with the intent to commit sexual exploitation, incest, child pornography, or sexual assault.
It is the communications that occur between the perpetrator and victim with the intended purpose of committing other offences against that child.
It is considered a hybrid offence, which allows prosecutors to choose to proceed by indictment (for more serious offences) or by summary conviction (for less serious).
The previous mandatory minimum sentence, deemed so egregious as to be a breach of the offender’s Section 12 Charter rights, was imprisonment of one year if found guilty on indictment, and six months if found guilty on summary conviction.

Revealed: Derek Chauvin Stabbed 22 Times By Former FBI Informant
Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis police officer currently serving jail time in connection with the death of George Floyd, was stabbed 22 times in prison by a “Black Lives Matter” vigilante inmate.
John Turscak, 52, has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly stabbing Chauvin 22 times in the law library at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors said that Tursak used an improvised knife and allegedly told authorities he would have killed Chauvin had they not intervened, according to the Associated Press.
Prosecutors claim that Turscak later disclosed to FBI agents that he had been contemplating assaulting Chauvin for approximately one month due to the fact that he is a high-profile inmate, but denied intending to murder him.
Turscak informed the agents that he planned to attack Chauvin, 47, on Black Friday, the day following Thanksgiving, as a symbolic nod to the Black Lives Matter movement and the “Black Hand” emblem affiliated with the Mexican Mafia gang, prosectors said, according to the outlet.
Derek Chauvin Stabbed In Prison

Jonestown Precinct
We reported how Shivanthi Sathanandan, the Second Vice Chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, said in a Facebook post that she had been carjacked and beaten in front of her young children in the driveway of her Minneapolis home. She said that she had sustained a broken leg, as well as other cuts and bruises. Then she ranted about the attackers, whom she described as four young armed men, and demanded that they needed to be held accountable for their actions.
AdvertisementSathanandan thanked the police in her Facebook post about the attack. That seemed to be a big change of heart, given that she had previously called for the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department in 2020 during the BLM riots. It’s important to understand that businesses were being destroyed and people were being killed, while she was advocating this.
It gets better.
A Minneapolis law enforcement source tells me officers in the 4th precinct are being encouraged to patrol Sathanandan’s neighborhood when not responding to calls.
“Now she wants extra police presence? She can eat the largest bag of dicks,” the source added. https://t.co/JEEiUhItTV
