The British government barred 22-year-old Canadian journalist and YouTuber Lauren Southern from entering the United Kingdom on Monday under the Terrorism Act 2000. The U.K. Home Office concluded that Southern’s presence in the county “is not conducive to the public good” and accused her of “distribution of racist materials” representing “a threat to the fundamental interests of society and to the public policy of the United Kingdom.” Southern’s alleged racism refers to an incident in Luton at which she distributed a satirical “LGBT for Islam UK” poster, which prompted authorities to accuse Southern of “Christian extremism.” The British government apparently labors under the misconception that Islam is a race. Islam is not a race but rather a religion founded in the seventh century after Muhammad encountered a heretical Christian monk named Bahira on a merchant trip to Syria with his uncle Abu Talib.
I’ve touched on this previously.

Apparently, someone told Justine it’s not cool to wear socks with sandals, so he ditched them. It seems that Hillary tripped on them, twice. From the comments:
Hillary was only walking because she had to bring her broom in for an oil change.
More lies from the chief rat on the sinking ship. And even if it is true, so what? 40,000 less parasites is a good thing.
Premier Kathleen Wynne emphatically stated in a recent tweet that Conservative opposition to federal carbon taxes “will put as many as 40,000 public sector jobs at risk” in Ontario.
Why the long face, Kathleen?
Brad Wall calls out “rainbows and unicorns.” Close enough.
“I think the ’90s are calling: Have we forgotten?” says Wall, hoping for a return to “some sort of reasonable fiscal plan that isn’t based on rainbows and unicorns.”
Although she’s not near as grating, Wendy from the Communist Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) should have learned a thing or two from Cathy Newman’s interview.
Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson revealed in a column last week that she carries a plastic Barack Obama doll in her purse as a way to comfort herself in the Donald Trump era.
At the conclusion of a Guardian column expressing hope for a Democratic wave in 2018 and beyond in response to Trump, Abramson revealed the extent of her Obama fandom.
“It’s easy to look at what’s happening in Washington DC and despair,” she wrote. “That’s why I carry a little plastic Obama doll in my purse. I pull him out every now and then to remind myself that the United States had a progressive, African American president until very recently. Some people find this strange, but you have to take comfort where you can find it in Donald Trump’s America.”
Unless there is a late surge for Communist Party candidate Pavel Grudinin, who is running second with 7 percent, Vladimir Putin will be re-elected president of Russia for another six years on March 18.
Then we must decide whether to continue on course into a second Cold War, or engage Russia, as every president sought to do in Cold War I.
For our present conflict, Vladimir Putin is not alone at fault. His actions have often been reactions to America’s unilateral moves.
Sock Boy’s admiration for dictators has turned him into one. Remember how the MSM used to call Harper a control freak? As written here, Liberals are coming for your guns.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s angry response to a rural MP’s concerns raised at a recent national caucus meeting on the Hill over the government’s upcoming gun legislation did not go over well with some Liberal MPs who say it will have a “chilling” effect on their ability to speak candidly at the closed-door meetings.
According to Liberal MPs and insiders, Mr. Trudeau (Papineau, Que.) verbally “attacked” rookie Liberal MP T.J. Harvey (Tobique-Mactaquac, N.B.), chair of the Liberal rural caucus, during the Feb. 28 national caucus meeting on Parliament Hill. Mr. Harvey stood up to say that there was a “lack” of meaningful consultation with the caucus over the government’s upcoming gun control legislation.
“Justin was much too vitriolic and attacked him,” one Liberal MP, referring to Mr. Harvey, told The Hill Times, who spoke on condition of anonymity since the closed-door caucus meetings are confidential. “We’re also supposed to have the right to voice our opinion.”
This MP said the soon to be tabled gun legislation is “scaring the hell out of the Liberal caucus,” especially the ones representing rural ridings.
Not the country my father, uncles, and grandfathers fought for. The British government cannot manage the huge problem it has created, so instead it silences dissent.
No worries if you’re an Imam frothing hate speech day in and day out, mind you. Hell, the Brits will even pay the Imam and his multiple wives benefits.

Climate Barbie’s Gendered Impacts:
In a recent post on Twitter, Catherine McKenna, the 47-year-old Trudeau appointee from Canada’s Liberal Party, called on followers to “consider the gendered impacts of climate change on women, girls and children” while praising Canada’s leadership in training “women negotiators” in the fight against manmade global warming.
Apparently, at least in the minister’s mind, the weather is now waging its own “war on women.”
The use of the word “racist” in the West is used similarly the word “infidel” in Islamic societies. Such words become useful shaming tools to coerce people into compliance. They are not used to discuss matters; they are used to abort discussion, silence opposition, and often to threaten the livelihood and even the life of those who dissent. These are words are intended to render anyone who does not agree as evil and a pariah.
Like the shame-based culture of the Middle East, many Americans today, presumably to avoid the backlash of being shamed, seem to have fallen into the trap of “group think”. If, God forbid, you are seen as Republican, conservative, or if you prefer capitalism to socialism or do not belong to a victim group, shaming will be directed at you. Impressionable new generations of Americans naively take this bait. They are fearful of giving an opinion lest they be called “racist.”
The Muslim world has successfully been using this tyranny of shaming for centuries to enforce compliance. Today if you ask a question to a man on the Arab street, you will most likely get a prefabricated answer — one that is probably the un-thought-through opinion of the majority. This technique is frequently used in the Islamic culture — in addition to terror of course — to crush the non-Muslim “infidels” out of existence. Today, in the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, hardly anyone is living peacefully.
What happened in 2016 was much more than just a Kremlin “black op” that exceeded expectations. It was a direct result of the profound change in the public sphere brought about by the advent and spectacular growth of the online network platforms. In many ways, the obsessive focus of the American political class on the Russian sub-plot is a distraction from the alarming reality that – as the European competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager argued earlier this month – the big tech companies, and the way their services are used by ordinary people, pose a much bigger threat to democracy. It is the threat from within we really need to worry about – not the threat from Putin.

No money for vets, no money for any of the important things, but hundreds of millions for illegal immigrants and every other Liberal voting block.
New documentary, No Safe Spaces, to be released this fall with Jordan Peterson, Adam Carolla, Dennis Prager and Tim Allen.
First they screwed up the balloting. Reportedly, only a third of party members were able to vote, but Justice Todd Archibald rejected arguments—led by eventual winner, Doug Ford—to extend the voting. How many law suits will arise from this incompetency? Moreover, how will it affect the PC’s position in the upcoming election, which is now only weeks away?
Apparently, there were serious irregularities in the vote counting, which delayed the decision. The stupid party executive only booked the hall until 7pm so that party members had to vacate the premises before the decision could be announced. There are calls for heads to roll.
Doug Ford was eventually named the winner, but Christine Elliott, who came in a close second, has refused to concede.
This all plays quite well into Kathleen Wynne’s hands. The PCs may yet manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Doug Ford’s victory speech:
