“A new era begins today in Argentina”
In his first act, newly sworn President of Argentina, Javier Milei, signs an executive order reducing the Argentine government from 21 Departments to 9. A major reduction of bureaucracy and overhead. Impressive.
Milei’s inauguration speech.
If Women Ran The World
The feminization of higher ed — and of American society as a whole — is a large topic. Here I want simply to note that the repellent jelly of moral confusion that united all three responses was saturated by that feminization. None of those women could give a direct answer to a direct question about a matter of grave moral moment. Instead, they temporized, equivocated, dodged and parried.

@realchrisrufo EXCLUSIVE: @RealChrisBrunet and I have obtained documentation demonstrating that Harvard President Claudine Gay plagiarized multiple sections of her Ph.D. thesis, violating Harvard’s policies on academic integrity.
Yes, it would appear so.

First, open your calculator.
“It’s awful … It’s horribly white,”
… Epping said of curling in general.
“We need to take action,” said John Epping, a Toronto curler who is one of the few openly gay athletes in the country.
“We need more curlers in the game in general, period.”
This is where Dr. Richard Norman comes in.
Norman was recently hired as the director of community futures and innovation by Curling Canada and one of his primary roles is to promote diversity, equity and inclusion within the sport.
With a unique PhD in sports and society, with a focus on race and colonialism in the sport of curling, he has been on the job for six months and is making strides toward growing the game …

I Want A New Country
The recent 30-hour marathon session in the House of Commons, a Conservative-led protest against the carbon tax, has been downplayed by the Liberals as mere formalities. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
This session was far from a mere formality. It was a vital demonstration of resistance against a government that’s running rampant with its spending and elitist policies. The Conservatives, under Pierre Poilievre, knew they were unlikely to stop any of these bills with the Bloc and NDP in lockstep with the Liberals. But that wasn’t the point. The point was to make the Liberals work for their decisions, to make them physically present in the House to face the consequences of their actions.
Let’s cut through the spin and face the stark reality of Justin Trudeau’s Canada. We’re witnessing a food inflation rate that’s estimated to be a staggering 32.7% from 2021 to 2024. Think about that – nearly one-third of your buying power has evaporated under this government. Every trip to the grocery store is now a financial struggle for the average Canadian. Your dollar just doesn’t stretch as far as it used to, and families across the nation are feeling the pinch.
The root of this economic hardship? Look no further than the Liberal government’s inflationary budgets and policies. Take the carbon tax, for instance. It’s not just an environmental measure; it’s a direct contributor to the rising cost of living that’s making life increasingly unaffordable for millions of Canadians.

Mischief is important: When Fikri’s movie opened in cinemas on November 15, its Allociné page posted a press rating of 3/5 based on reviews written by professional film critics. Within 24 hours of its release, however, the user rating had slumped to 1.4/5 – a score bad enough to all but guarantee a commercial fiasco.
“Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania.”

Narrative Massacre
Looking for a Christmas gift that eviscerates a common historical narrative for yourself or a like-minded family member? If you’re undecided, here’s a review that goes over the main points of Flynn-Paul’s work.
Alleged massacres resulted in the deaths of less than 1% of the Indian population and numbers in the thousands, not millions–a record long obscured thanks to Stannard’s embellishment of native population estimates. Colonialism is not an outgrowth of capitalism because the church and nobility were fervently opposed to such economic systems. The “logic of tribal anarchy” meant no land was in possession of one tribe for more than a few generations and natives were invariably locked in intratribal disputes. No evidence exists that settlers engaged in biological warfare by giving natives smallpox-laced blankets. In fact, Thomas Jefferson established an immunization program for Indians, going so far as to task Lewis and Clark with disseminating the smallpox vaccine on their famed expedition.

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars
In whole, or in part.
An Arizona car owner says he was shocked when he heard how much it would cost to replace a battery in his hybrid vehicle.
Lucas Turner told KPHO that he recently took his 2014 Infiniti hybrid to a dealership for a check engine light.
He said he knew something was wrong but wasn’t expecting it to be this bad.
“They told me that I need a new hybrid battery and it’s going to cost $18,000 for the battery and another $2,000 to have it installed,” Turner said.

Is Judge Marie-Josée Hogue the new David Johnston? The Quebec Court of Appeals judge was appointed in early September to head the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions, months after “special rapporteur” Johnston had concluded that an inquiry wasn’t necessary.
Sadly, Hogue now seems determined to follow in Johnston’s tarnished footsteps, using accusations of partisanship to deny standing in the first phase of the inquiry to both the Conservative party and the NDP, preventing them from questioning witnesses or seeing all the evidence presented.
Justice Hogue practiced at the same law firm as Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chretien.
Down The Primrose Path
They’ve fought Putin to the very last Ukrainian.
A series of remarkable events with enormous consequences for Ukraine tumbled in rapid succession this week, lifting the veil on years of untrammeled and proud — yet ultimately purposeless and sociopathic — lying by the Biden administration and the Pentagon about the war there.
First, ahead of a crucial vote on military aid to both Ukraine and Israel Wednesday, Joe Biden went on TV to denounce Republicans for threatening to halt the $110 billion national security package. GOP leaders had told the White House they wouldn’t support the bill without border-sealing assurances of the type they knew Democrats wouldn’t accept, so Biden was cornered and clearly pissed. Eyes snapped wide open as the (surely fantastic) drugs aides must pump in by the gallon before public appearances kicked in, Biden went off:
“Republicans think they can get everything they want without any bipartisan compromise,” he snapped. “And now they’re willing to literally kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield and damage our national security in the process.” […]
A few hours later, National Security spokesperson John Kirby upped the ante, telling ABC reporter Selena Wang that not only should we be contemplating deployment of American troops, but a possible cost in American “blood” if Putin is allowed to take Ukraine and threaten other NATO countries. (That potential cost has been the same since NATO was founded in 1949, but whatever). Kirby’s offhand observation that Ukraine would “lose this war” absent U.S. support was the actual big news, but Kirby’s “based Biden” comments about “blood” were the ones that went viral. […]
After that bang-bang-bang succession of events, proclamations of imminent doom for Ukraine issued from the mouths of every Western national security official and war-supporting politician within reach of a microphone. Then Tucker Carlson tweeted a report that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told House members in a classified briefing that if they didn’t approve more money for Ukraine, “we’ll send your uncles, cousins and sons to fight Russia.”
The weirdly personal threat, which Tucker insists is a verbatim quote, showed how desperate a moment this is for the national security state. Potential consequences extend far beyond loss and suffering for Ukraine. The entire interventionist project is looking at a setback on the scale of the Iraq disaster, a political fiasco so enormous it prompted four years of cuts to the defense budget. Watching Putin waltz across Ukraine after the last two years of blood, profligate spending, and premature end zone celebrations by retired brass and Beltway think-tankers would make the withdrawal from Afghanistan look like one of Biden’s tarmac stumbles by comparison.
