Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

Guy who wants to block all fossil fuels demands we send fuel to Cuba. Seems legit

@bdhaliwa1 Screenshot and guessing will be accepted after the fact. :) Hasn't the 30th technically been a bit soft on the deadline... Our local MP has always been great on this front if issues.

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.

The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.

The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.

The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.

The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.

The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.

The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.

Now it is today.

Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.

He is confident.

He has always been confident.

The confidence has never been the problem.

The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

Please don't lie on Twitter.

You violated the Charter of Rights by illegally invoking the Emergencies Act to arrest your political opponents and seize hundreds of their bank accounts without legal process.

Four judges in a row have now said you violated the Charter.

[Jonathan Kay @jonkay]

any updates from @UBC Faculty of Medicine (esp Derek Thompson, Director of Indigenous Engagement) about the recent event where ideologically non-compliant women were threatened with rape?
Or is it like the whole burning churches thing? “Understandable” as @gmbutts described it

[Verlin @Verlin]

@just_afellow @mapleblooded agree, good to see the rats gone before in power or would be dealing with this. Definitely room for improvement with vetting...

[Verlin @Verlin]

@CoryBMorgan enough cross and they will eat each other, ideally send over a few conservative ones as eyes and ears as well...

[End Wokeness @EndWokeness]

RIP Alexander Kazanowski. 25 years old. He is a new father. Beaten to death in Chicago.

[Verlin @Verlin]

@LifelibertyLisa one way to get eyes and ears in the otherside.. maybe it's not all bad. :)

[Verlin @Verlin]

@TheRealKeean thanks, always listen for that and appreciate when done as it tells a lot...

[Nayib Bukele @nayibbukele]

Impeach the corrupt judges.

@wealthmoose Hey

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Mr. Prime Minister—you are getting up to $9 billion in windfall revenues from high oil prices. That money does not belong to you.

Give it back.

Stop taxing gas. Save families $1200 at the pumps this year.
