I don't care to explain myself

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

I just received a private message from the biggest conservative think tank in the nation. I was told they made the decision to change their policy from ‘distinguishing between Islam and Islamism’ to moving more explicitly in the public debate about the incompatibility of ISLAM and the American republic, and that they’ve read my book and would love to have a meeting. 💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥🔥

It's important to remind everyone that ID verification and social media bans are not to protect children, but another device in the government's arsenal to slowly control the population and move towards authoritarianism.

Unless people actually start protesting against this, nothing will change.

For a politician, the primary goal is to stay in power and make money. Tracking people online is a great help in achieving that.

Crying "it's for the kids" will not help when every device nowadays comes with parental control tools which are better and better every day. Plus, parents are the ones that should decide how their kid should be raised, not the government.

From the Computer Science point - it's simply impossible for an ID verification system to have all three at once:
- anonymity: Site doesn't know who you are, government can't trace back your account to your name.
- non-linkability: Your visit on Site A cannot be linked to your visit on Site B
- non-shareability: You can't post some "token" everyone can copy and use to pretend to be an adult

A working system for anonymous age verification is simply impossible, mathematically. The solution? The damn parental control tools on every modern phone. Parents set up screen time limits, or app restrictions. Or, better yet, actually talk to your kid! Crazy, right?

IDK about the UK, but for example in Poland, we literally have it written in the constitution, that parents are the ultimate authority over how they want to raise their kids. It's not the government's job to police what a kid can, and cannot access online, even more so when we move away from "actually illegal (gambling, for example)" to "idk man we (the govt) think its bad".

Push for parents' awareness of parental control tools, the dangers of the internet, and make parents actually know how to parent their kids. After that, it's none of the govt's business.

Unfortunately it seems that more and more countries are giving up those freedoms and falling for the boil-the-frog approach, and might realize far too late. The EU is my last bastion of hope at this point, and even that is... not excellent in this regard at the moment.

@rhys15532364 @_SignalNotNoise @grok Probably because the Fabian society wants communism so badly that they think the communist/Islamic revolution of Iran can be globalized, and once successful then strip out religion.

🔥 BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident @JJJuraid, invited by UN Watch:

Mr. Chair,

I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land.

Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs.

So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?

Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic.

What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity.

There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived.
I don't believe in miracles, but this is one.

So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?

Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace.

Thank you.

🚨BREAKING: I officially tabled the Stand on Guard Act.

This bill would clarify the legal standard for self-defence to add a clear presumption that when someone knowingly and unlawfully enters your home, the force you thought necessary to defend yourself and your family is presumed to be reasonable, unless the facts show otherwise.

Your home should be your safe place, not the place where the law turns against you for protecting the people you love.

@CostasMenegakis It would be better to say if they support the IRGC, they should be deported. Full stop. Who cares if they're a citizen, we don't want terrorists or their simps. Besides everyone is a Canadian citizen or refugee these days, no real vetting or requirements anymore.

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

No, the war in Iran is not about Israel.

Here's the history of U.S. - Iranian relations, and the current dilemma.

[Department of War 🇺🇸 @DeptofWar]

OPERATION EPIC FURY 🇺🇸

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

President Donald J. Trump on the United States military combat operations in Iran:

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

We’re bombing Iran. President Trump’s full statement 👇

“A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating eminent threats from the Iranian regime. A vicious group of very hard, terrible people. Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world. For forty seven years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries.
Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover of the US embassy in Tehran, holding dozens of American hostages for four hundred and forty four days. In nineteen eighty three Iran's proxies carried out the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, that killed two hundred forty one American military personnel in two thousand they knew and were probably involved with the attack on the USS Coal. Many died, Iranian forces killed and maimed hundreds of American service members. In Iraq, the regime's proxies have continued to launch countless attacks against American forces stationed in the Middle East in recent years, as well as US naval and commercial vessels and international shipping lands. It's been mass terror, and we're not going to put up with it any longer.
From Lebanon to Yemen and Syria to Iraq, the regime has armed, trained and funded terrorist militias that have soaked the earth with blood and guts. And it was Iran's proxy, Hamas, that launched the monstrous October seventh attacks on Israel, slaughtering more than one thousand innocent people, including forty six Americans, while taking twelve of our citizens hostage. It was brutal, something like the world has never seen before. Iran is the world's number one state sponsor of terror. And just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens on the street.
As they protest it, it has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I'll say it again. They can never have a nuclear We weapon. That is why, in Operation Midnight Hammer last June, we obliterated the regime's nuclear program at Fordeaux, Natanz and Isfahan. After that attack, we warned them never to resume their malicious pursuit of nuclear weapons.
And we sought repeatedly to make a deal. We tried. They wanted to do it. They didn't want to do it again. They wanted to do it.
They didn't want to do it. They didn't know what was happening. They just wanted to practice evil. But Iran refused, just as it has for decades and decades they rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions and we can't take it anymore. Instead, they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing long range missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe.
Our troops stationed overseas and could soon reach the American homeland. Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had and actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message. For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests. We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally again obliterated.
We are going to annihilate their Navy. We are going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces and no longer use their IEDs or roadside bombs as they are sometimes called to so gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. It's a very simple message. They will never have a nuclear weapon.
This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States armed forces. I built and rebuilt our military in my first administration. And there is no military on earth even close to its power, strength or sophistication. My administration has taken every possible step to minimize the risk to us personnel in the region even so, and I do not make this statement lightly the Iranian regime seeks to kill the lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties that often happens in war. But we're doing this not for now.
We're doing this for the future. And it is a noble mission. We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and our children will never be threatened by a nuclear, armed Iran. We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way. And we trust that with his help the men and women of the armed forces will prevail we have the greatest in the world.
And they will prevail to the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police. I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity or in the alternative face, certain death. So, lay down your arms, you will be treated fairly with total immunity. Or you will face certain death. Finally, to the great proud people of Iran.
I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere when we are finished.
Take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations. For many years you have asked for America's help, but you never got it. No President was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight.
Now you have a President who is giving you what you want. So let's see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach. This is the moment for action.
Do not let it pass. May God bless the brave men and women of America's armed forces. May God bless the United States of America. May God bless you all. Thank you.”

Today marks Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, a most sacred season for Christians faith focused on prayer, repentance, and renewal. The ashes serve as a powerful reminder of our mortality and our need for God’s grace, calling us to humility, reflection, and deeper faith.

As we begin this journey toward Easter, may this season be one of spiritual growth, renewed hope, and faithful service to others. Wishing everyone observing a blessed Ash Wednesday.

@CTVNews Unless it's fuel to specifically get Canadians out, then how about no.

[Decay @KernelDecay]

That's not how economics work. Putting money into a shrinking economy doesn't reverse GDP contraction or reliably spark sustained growth. The core issue is that a shrinking economy involves deeper structural and behavioral problems that simply "more money/debt" can't overcome. Government spending isn't "new" money. Fiscal stimulus must be financed, and taxes take money from someone else reducing their spending. Borrowing competes with private borrowers, raising interest rates and crowding out private investment. These are just the two most obvious and basic examples.

In reality viable solutions look more like tax incentives like lowering effective tax rates on new investments, reducing internal trade and regulatory barriers, and actually making a deal in preparation for USMCA/CUSMA review.

You might not be able to believe everything the conservatives spout off but, blindly trusting the government that's doing the complete opposite of what basic macroeconomics teaches is the worst possible thing you could do for everyone in this country.

[Andrew Scheer @AndrewScheer]

Tomorrow Conservatives are proposing:

Barring non-citizens convicted of serious crimes from making refugee claims;

Ending sentencing discounts for the purpose of avoiding deportation for non-citizens convicted of serious crimes;

And repealing Liberal laws to make sure repeat extortionists stay in jail.

Let’s see if Liberals will adopt this common sense approach.

[Dr. Leslyn Lewis @LeslynLewis]

Minister Joly has stated that Bill C-8 would not allow the Minister to prohibit the use of services like the internet to “any person,” despite those exact words appearing in the legislation.

The bill states that the Minister may direct telecommunications providers to:

“prohibit the use of the service to any person.”

If the government’s position is that the wording of the bill does not reflect its true intention, then Canadians should expect no resistance to clarifying amendments.

Ensuring that no minister has the authority to shut off an individual’s internet access should be an area of unanimous agreement.
