Looks like RCMP made a couple terrorism arrests in Ottawa and Quebec today. One individual so far is charged with various terrorism offences pertaining to his participation in the activities of Atomwaffen Division, an extremist neo-Nazi group.

Man, some people make logical contortions that, if physical, would keep a chiropractor in cash for life. How does one 'consent to be born'?

We have friends that vacation and winter in Palm Springs. It strikes me as an odd place for a fertility clinic considering the average age seems to be about 70(it's actually 58, but still . . . )

Man who killed 4 members of Muslim family in London, Ont. given 5 life sentences in prison

A London judge has handed down her sentence in the case of Nathaniel Veltman, convicted of killing four members of a Muslim family and seriously injuring a young boy in June of 2021.

Edward Kelley, 36, has been sentenced to life in prison for plotting to murder FBI, state, and municipal police members in Tennessee, and bomb their office with vehicles and drones. His conviction follows a Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation. A co-plotter flipped on him and cooperated with investigators.

Tennessee Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Conspiring to Murder Law Enforcement and Attack FBI Office

Edward Kelley, 36, of Maryville, Tennessee, was sentenced to life in prison today in the Eastern District of Tennessee at Knoxville.

www.justice.gov

Kelley is one of the few January 6th rioters remaining in prison; he assaulted police at the Capitol and was one of the first to enter the building. His new conviction results from a plot on his part to go after and kill the police who originally investigated him (and it seems expanded to include others). His lawyer tried to argue that Trump’s pardon for January 6th also covered these new crimes, but DoJ pushed back on that and the judge didn’t buy it.

Jan. 6 defendant sentenced to life in prison for plotting to kill FBI special agents who investigated him

President Donald Trump's mass pardon of Jan. 6 rioters did not apply to Edward Kelley's separate plot to murder law enforcement officials, the Justice Department said.

Makes sense. If there’s one thing radical Islamists, incels and the far right multi-verse has is blaming women for their inability to get laid and hatred of women who think for themselves.

I think it’s a symptom, not a cause, but yeah it does show up a lot in the ‘angry, disenfranchised young men’ who disproportionately make up violent radicals of all stripes.

The 18 to 29 dating scene looks pretty grim,

While 45% of young men approve of Trump’s job performance, only 24% of young women do — a 21-point difference.

 

[YZT580]

The 18 to 29 dating scene looks pretty grim,

Not to sure that is a serious problem. I cannot recall ever having a political discussion with my wife whilst we were dating. Those issues didn't come up until well into the second or third year of marriage when an election was called and by then things like mortgages and diapers were far more important.

It's grim for many reasons, that's just a tiny part of the problem.
