The Left’s Endless Well of Hatred

Baiting The Left Democrats The Libranos 7 Comments

If a stranger has 4 kids or 2 kids or no kids, is this a major issue for you? If a stranger decides to work as a nurse or a lawyer or a CEO or a waitress, is this a major issue for you? If a woman decides to stay home and raise her own children to whatever age she decides upon, is this a major issue for you?

Well, if you’re a member of the “Progressive” aka Radical wing of the Left, then it appears that any women who don’t run their own lives exactly as prescribed by the Left, are somehow suspect and a danger to society.

The Libertarian in me is absolutely baffled by how much these Leftoids/Communists feel they need to control the lives of others.

Great Moments In Socialism It's Probably Nothing Little Known Facts 6 Comments

One can reasonably expect that government statisticians on both sides of the border are using the same methods to determine job creation numbers and employment levels, so it would be wise not to buy into the Canadian numbers either.

Specifically, full-time employees dropped by 1,000 workers while part-time workers rose by 679,000 (month-over-month). The total gain in all workers for the period was 717,000. Moreover, the overall trend since 2021 is one in which growth in full-time work in general is falling—and turning negative in some months—while part-time employment represents most of the growth. 

But why is it that we keep hearing about how there is so much job growth? Those “good” numbers are based mostly on a separate job survey which looks only at the number of jobs created, as opposed to the number of employed persons. This means a large number of part-time jobs could be created, with few new employed persons, and this could be reported as robust job growth.

Among the items from Joe Biden’s time as vice president discovered in a private office last fall are 10 classified documents including US intelligence memos and briefing materials that covered topics including Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has received a preliminary report on the documents inquiry, a law enforcement source said, and now faces the critical decision on how to proceed, including whether to open a full-blown criminal investigation.

John Lausch Jr., the US attorney in Chicago, has briefed Garland multiple times. No additional briefings are scheduled but would be conducted if necessary, a source said.

The classified documents were dated between 2013 and 2016, according to the source familiar. They were found in three or four boxes also containing unclassified papers that fall under the Presidential Records Act.

[…]

The documents were discovered on November 2, just six days before the midterm elections, but the matter only became public Monday due to news reports.

Bumped for update.

NBC News reported Wednesday that at least one more batch of classified documents had been found by Biden’s aides at another location connected to him.

Just an hour or so before that report, at Wednesday’s White House Press Briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to answer questions about whether then-former Vice President Biden had used other office s were other classified documents might have been kept.

Canada buys Ukraine $400M air-defence system that Canadian Army has been waiting for since 2012

Defence Minister Anita Anand announced Tuesday that Canada would purchase a “National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System” and associated munitions from the United States to donate to Ukraine. A NASAMS is a short- to medium-range ground-based air-defence system that protects against drone, missile and aircraft attacks. The donation will cost Canadian taxpayers approximately $406 million. […]

Anand did not explain how the government was able to act so quickly in acquiring the air-defence system for Ukraine while a similar project for Canada’s military continued to go unfulfilled.

But her office added in a statement, “We continue to work towards the procurement of Ground-Based Air Defence Equipment for the Canadian Armed Forces — and Minister Anand is committed to getting this done, as outlined in our defence policy.”

The Canadian Army has been without an air-defence capability since 2012 and has tried over the past decade to convince governments to purchase such equipment.

They’ll defeat Putin if it means bankrupting every last Canadian.

Flashback.

A U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system outage is leading to delays at airports across the country due to ‘ground stops’, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport said on Wednesday.

The FAA said that it was working to restore a system that alerts pilots to hazards and changes to airport facilities and procedures that had stopped processing updated information.

“The FAA is still working to fully restore the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system following an outage. While some functions are beginning to come back on line, National Airspace System operations remain limited,” it said on Twitter.

FAA has ordered all donestic departures grounded until 9am Eastern.

When bedlamites want you fired:

Kara Lynne, the now-ex community manager of [games distributor] Limited Run, was reportedly fired following complaints from a trans activist on Twitter who had dissected Lynne’s social media history. Jonathan “Jessica” Blank, a trans-identified male better known in the My Little Pony fan community as Purple Tinker, published a Twitter thread on January 6 accusing Lynne of “transphobia” and tagging Limited Run Games in an apparent effort to have her penalised.

The so-called infractions Blank levelled against Lynne included that she had been following popular conservative social media account Libs of TikTok, and had posted a tweet expressing opposition to self-identification laws in 2016. Other alleged examples of transphobia included that Lynne had expressed support for the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy video game.

One of these.
