Freedom of the Press Takes a Hit in Canada

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Rebel News - Ezra Levant

He forgot to say “May I?”!

Canada’s leading conservative journalist, Ezra Levant, is suing Justin Trudeau’s, er, “government” for denying a “journalist license” to his news outlet, Rebel News (https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/rebel-news-has-sued-trudeau-for-denying-the-prominent-official-journalism-designation/)–which means Rebel News reporters will be denied access to government press conferences and similar events.

Rebel News will also suffer penalties under Canada’s “Income Tax Act.”

According to the government, “less than 1 percent” of Rebel News content “meets the criterion for original news content” and is “largely focused on the promotion of one particular viewpoint.”

Honk if you know of any nooze outlet to which that description won’t apply [cue in crickets chirping in silent background].

“Journalism license,” eh? Does that mean “support the government or just shut up”?

The free world ain’t so free anymore, is it?

Allowing the government to decide who’s a “journalist” and who isn’t–well, that slurping sound you hear offstage is U.S. Democrats licking their lips with envy.

‘Tyranny Is Back in Style’ (2015, 2018)

Year after year they chop away at our freedoms. It was worse in 2018 than it was in 2015, and worse now than it was in 2018.

Tyranny is Back in Style

The “pro-choice” crowd keeps trying to take away all our choices, Big Tech censors all dissenting voices–does anybody get a whiff of the old Soviet Union here? It burned itself out in Russia, but looks like it took root in the West. Here the tender shoots of tyranny are tended and nurtured by Biden & Co., Trudeau Ltd., and Fauci Inc.

God defend us.

 

More ‘Sex Ed’–and More Opposition

NJ Education

I’d like to stop covering these stories, but the nooze won’t let me.

We told you, years ago, that once they got started with “comprehensive sex education,” they wouldn’t stop. They got the camel’s nose into the tent, and now they’re pushing in the hump.

The latest victim of the “educators” is the people of New Jersey, who were surprised when the state Board of Education suddenly laid a new, expanded “sex ed” curriculum on them (https://www.phillyvoice.com/new-jersey-gender-identity-sex-education-standards-governor-murphy/). The educators were surprised when people called it “outrageous.”

Mixing children with sex has become a thing for them. They push it like their lives depended on it. Now opponents of the new sex ed curriculum are demanding public hearings on it. The curriculum was planned to go into effect this fall.

But not to worry! They’ll use “gender neutral pronouns.” Don’t you feel safer already?

But hey, folks–we gave them this power. We allowed them to dig deeper and deeper into our families’ private business. Just pack little Johnny off to public school each weekday, go off to work and forget about it. And now we know that was a very bad idea.

You have to take your children out of public school–unless you really want those wackos in the teachers’ unions to sexualize your children. I mean, when they’re not busy “teaching” Critical Race Theory (did you know you’re all racists?), socialism, and all that citizen of the world baloney.

You can see now that they’re not going to stop. But they can’t do it if no one’s in the classroom.

Noozies Object to Parents’ Objections

Do they really think we can’t see through this anymore?

Of course they do. They’re leftids, they only talk with other leftids, they live in a bubble, safe from contact with regular people.

So the Free Lance-Star, a noozepaper out of Fredericksburg, VA, has a recent editorial, “Parents need to learn to let go” (https://fredericksburg.com/opinion/editorial/editorial-parents-need-to-learn-to-let-go/article_9b2022da-e63c-5d5a-9d34-9b7593208eaa.html#tracking-source=home-top-story). It’s sort of a retelling of the Terry McAwful Doctrine: “Parents, shut up and let the teachers teach! You have no say in it!”

McAwful lost his bid to be elected governor, and Gov. Youngkin has kept himself busy signing new laws to protect schoolchildren from the twisted schemes of Far Left teachers’ unions. One of those laws requires notification to parents whenever a school lesson plan will delve into “sexually explicit content.”

They’re cryin’ bloody murder over that! They denounce what they call a “parental obsession with sex in books.” Sex in books, they say, is “the best our civilization has to offer.” Can you imagine that being true? Yowsah, yowsah! Bring on those award-winning books about teenage boys being sodomized by older men!

Like we don’t know where you’re coming from? Like we don’t know why mixing kids and sex is such a thing for you? You really don’t think parents should be “allowed”–yes, they said “allowed”–to object to Teacher’s lesson plans?

You clever ol’ groomers, you.

Our only objection here is that too many parents aren’t doing the one thing that’ll matter: pulling their kids out of public school. That’s the only way to protect them from those Far Left wackos in the teachers’ unions.

Yes, we see through you now. We know you want to prepare children to be sexually active at as early an age as possible. We don’t really care why you want this, although we’re pretty sure we know. We just want your dirty hands off our children. We don’t want you sniffing around our homes. In fact, we don’t want you at all.

As for the noozies who back the unions against the parents every day of the week: we don’t want you, either. It’d be pretty easy to do without you.

‘Assorted Left-Wing Jidrools: “Religious Beliefs Must Change”‘ (2015)

Hillary Clinton: Trump is too dangerous and unstable to have the nuclear codes | Hillary Clinton | The Guardian

“Listen up, you peasants!”

Remember how they thought they were going to have Hillary as president and could finally finish off whatever Obama left of America? In anticipation of that happy event, in 2015 libs ‘n’ progs were excitedly babbling about how “religious beliefs”–meaning only Christian beliefs and nobody else’s–would have to “change” to embrace abortion and same-sex pseudo-marriage.

Assorted Left-Wing Jidrools: ‘Religious Beliefs Must Change!’

But they hit a pothole named Donald Trump and the scheme had to be abandoned for the time being. Since then, they’ve had to keep it on the back burner. The idea is, “We can’t open the camps until we lock down our ownership of the entire government.”

They never said just how “religious beliefs” would be made to “change.”

Pray we never find out.

What Do They Want from Us?

Everything You Need to Know About Hell: What Humans Get Right and Wrong About It | by Donald King | Medium

“You’re gonna need a bigger Hell.”

So there they are, out there–declaring that “every family” has at least one transgender member (mine doesn’t), and anyone who opposes using the public schools to groom the kiddies for sexual activity is trying to “tear apart families,” blah-blah.

What is it that they want from us? Complete and total surrender to their agenda? Unrestricted sexual access to America’s children? I mean, it looks like, “Okay! Abort as many of ’em as we can! And the ones left over, turn ’em all sterile by messing with their gender!” Is there any doubt that this ideology comes straight from Hell?

The mighty Disney Corp.–whose current bosses wouldn’t survive another two minutes if Walt Disney could come back–is screaming bloody murder against states that are banning the use of the public schools to teach sexual anarchy. In their warped view of things, protecting families can only be done by sponsoring perversion. Disney has made TV ads promoting genital mutilation of children. That’s how they protect families.

How far down do they mean to beat our country? At what point of decay will they be satisfied?

No. They’ll never be satisfied.

That’s something we should keep in mind.

Colleges: Beginning of the End?

[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip]

According to a survey by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, college enrollment, nationwide, is down 5% from 2020 (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/08/college-enrollment-declines-as-free-tuition-long-forgiveness-stall.html).

(Not a dry eye in the house!)

Coincidentally–or maybe not so coincidentally–the same college degree you used to earn in four years now, for many students, takes six. That’s a 50% increase in your student loan debt, pilgrims.

Ah! But what are you getting for your money? The average yearly tuition is around $25,000. So that’s 100 Gs if you go for four years, and 150 if you’re in for six.

Yeahbut, yeahbut! A degree in Gender Studies! What’s that worth? Queer Fat Studies! Priceless. Superhero Studies!

Are you ready for frustration? Are you up for unemployment?

Well, they’re about a million students short this year. Are these smart enough not to come back? (Dude! You just saved yourself a hundred thousand bucks by dropping out of college!)

I can’t think of a single thing that hurts our country more than her so-called education system.

Alabama Bans Using Schools to ‘Groom’ Children for Sex

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Governor Kay Ivey (@GovernorKayIvey) / Twitter

Three cheers for the great state of Alabama!

Dems are gonna be shrieking bloody murder over this.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has just signed into law a measure to ban “sexual/gender indoctrination of children and prohibits hormone blockers, genital mutilation, and gender reassignment surgeries” (https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/alabama-bans-transgender-grooming/). They’ve also barred schools from allowing students and staff to use opposite-sex bathrooms.

Why is there even a debate about this? What kind of miserable excuse for a parent would allow any of these things? But hey, it’s what the teachers’ unions want!

The only reason why they’d want it would be because they wish to groom young children for sexual activity as soon as possible. They can’t admit that, of course. So they lay down a smoke-screen of obfuscation. It isn’t fooling too many people anymore.

The whole “trans” movement is so irrational, so insane, so evil, as to be Satanic. If this stuff isn’t boiling out of Hell, then nothing is.

Woke Mob ‘Hunts’ Conservative Student

It’s “education”… so they say.

Bear in mind that the University of Buffalo, New York, is a state university that receives public funds–taxpayers’ money.

Recently a mob of Far Left “students,” estimated at 200 strong, chased and terrorized a conservative student who had to hide in a rest room until she was rescued by police (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10707747/Moment-woke-mob-hunts-female-student-invited-black-Republican-speak.html).

Why? Because she, as president of the campus chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, invited former Congressman Allen West–who is black–to speak on how he personally overcame racism. This, according to the mob, was an effort to “silence black people”… by allowing a black man to speak. West had to be escorted off campus by police. The mob, meanwhile, pursued the female student.

As they chased her, the crowd shouted the usual leftist endearments: “No justice, no peace!” (I’d love to know what they mean by “justice.”) And “Get her, get her–the girl in the red dress!”

The student said she feared for her life if they caught her. That was surely a rational fear.

Would things like this still happen at UB if the university lost state funding every time they did? Or are we committed to publicly funding lynch mobs?

They probably can’t identify all the students who took part in this, so the only reasonable alternative is to dock the university’s funds until it can prove it’s not a wokie jungle.

If this is what they’re calling “higher education,” then “higher education” needs to go.

Maryland: ‘Pregnant Persons’?

[Thanks to Ohio Chess Fan for the nooze tip]

Fearful of any shrinkage of the abortion industry, Democrats all over America are scrambling to pass, uh, “laws” protecting the “right” to kill an unborn child.  In Maryland they’re calling it “the Pregnant Person’s Freedom Act” (https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/maryland-abortion-bill-would-not-allow-newborn-babies-to-be-killed-fact-check/65-dcfe30b6-cfa1-4f9f-8a13-55e9f0f12e53).

“Pregnant persons”? Is there some reason that they can’t say “women’s”? Are women taboo, all of a sudden? Or has there been an outbreak of male pregnancies in Maryland?

Critics say A) the bill is unlikely to pass the state legislature, no matter how you slice it, and B) its language is ambiguous enough that it might be construed to legalize infanticide. Indeed, nobody seems to know exactly what it means.

Honk if you trust the nooze “fact checkers.”

Really, now–do we want to give any power, any authority, to characters who are so profoundly dishonest as to use a term like “pregnant persons”?

Have we already lost that much of our self-respect?
