Washington Post reporters Felicia Sonmez and David Weigel
The woke have turned on each other at the Washington Post in what must rank as the most entertaining story of last week.

The trouble began when reporter David Weigel retweeted a joke by YouTuber Cam Harless. Fox News has that story:
Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez put her paper on blast after one of her colleagues shared a tweet mocking women.

Sonmez shared a screenshot of a tweet written by YouTube host Cam Harless, who said, "Every girl is bi. You just have to figure out if it's polar or sexual."

That was retweeted by fellow reporter David Weigel.

"Fantastic to work at a news outlet where retweets like this are allowed!" Sonmez reacted.

Washington Post's Chief Communications Officer Kris Coratti told Fox News, "Editors have made clear to the staff that the tweet was reprehensible and demanding language or actions like that will not be tolerated."

Weigel also removed the retweet from his Twitter page and issued an apology.

"I just removed a retweet of an offensive joke. I apologise and did not mean to cause any harm," Weigel wrote.

Claims that a significant "percentage of high school students have an innate pedophilic sexual identity"

A so called 'ethics professor' from Norway has claimed that pedophilia should be classed as an 'innate sexuality' and taught in schools.

Yes, really.

Reduxx reports that Ole Martin Moen from Oslo Metropolitan University is calling for the 'destigmatisation' of pedos, claiming that "the mental state of finding children sexually attractive is very common."

Moen, a gay man who identifies as "queer,"also claims that a significant "percentage of high school students have an innate pedophilic sexual identity," something he equates with those who identify as LGBTQ+.

Oh, are we finally adding the 'P' now?

What colour will the pedos have on the rainbow flag?

Beijing tightens Covid restrictions again claiming 'ferocious' cluster of cases detected

china lockdown 2022 covid testing
© Noel Celis / AFP.People queue to be tested for the Covid-19 coronavirus at a swab collection site in Beijing on June 13, 2022. Beijing on June 13 launched mass testing in its most populous district and delayed most school reopenings, as residents’ precarious return to normal life is threatened by a rapidly expanding outbreak.
Beijing started a new round of mass testing in its most populous downtown district on Monday after a rapidly spreading outbreak linked to a bar saw Covid rules tightened again in the capital.

China is the last major economy still committed to a zero-Covid strategy, stamping out new cases with a combination of targeted lockdowns, mass testing and lengthy quarantines.

But that strategy is being stretched to the limit by the fast-spreading Omicron variant, as both Beijing and Shanghai have seen fresh clusters just days after lifting restrictions such as lockdowns, restaurant and office closures.

Comment: With much of the planet having dropped lockdowns, it appears that China continues to enforce these rolling lockdowns, not because it's attempting to achieve 'zero Covid', but because it is instead concerned about a much more significant threat to their population; and, for more on that, see:

china microchip chip
China's semiconductor industry is showing signs of flourishing even in the face of Biden administration efforts to counter its growth, raising alarm bells in Washington.

Chinese orders for chip-manufacturing equipment from overseas suppliers rose 58% in 2021, making it the biggest market for those products for a second year running, according to data provided by industry body Semi.

While those figures appeared in April, the flood of machinery headed to China is now drawing more attention — especially as a legislative push to bolster the US chip industry with investments and incentives falters. The US Commerce Department, meanwhile, appears unwilling to crack down harder on Beijing, irking critics.

DHL freight chief warns global supply chains won't recover to pre-lockdown levels in 2023, high cost of shipping to continue

The key question remains when global supply chain congestion will ease worldwide. That's a difficult question to answer, though the head of DHL's freight-forwarding unit sheds color on when he believes bottlenecks will abate.

"It's going to ease in 2023, but it's not going to go back to 2019," DHL Global Forwarding, Freight Chief Executive Officer Tim Scharwath told Bloomberg.

"I don't think we're going to go back to this overcapacity situation where rates were very low. Infrastructure, especially in the US, isn't going to get better overnight, because infrastructure developments take a long time," Scharwath said.

Comment: Expensive shipping means a higher price on the goods shipped, and this is occurring amidst already soaring inflation along with food and commodity shortages.

Report by German Parliament Expert Committee finds no evidence that lockdowns did anything

Dresden, Germany • December 2020
A few weeks ago, I wrote about attempts by Karl Lauterbach to delay the work of an expert committee with a mandate from the Bundestag to evaluate the effectiveness of lockdowns and other containment measures in Germany. Christian Drosten went so far as to resign from the committee, and gave a rambling radio interview in which he complained that the evaluative body hadn't been granted enough time and that it had been staffed with the wrong people.

The whole controversy struck me as strange. Surely this was going to be some milquetoast whitewash of the lockdowns, and so you had to wonder why Drosten and Lauterbach were even bothering.

Well, I was wrong: The committee isn't preparing a whitewash at all. They are poised, instead, to issue a mostly honest report admitting that there is no evidence that German containment has achieved anything. The Süddeutsche Zeitung has obtained a draft of their report, which is set to be released towards the end of this month. Their crack Corona reporter, renowned hypochondriac schoolmarm and go-to eugyppius villain Christina Berndt, is not pleased.

Tankers and cargo ships are currently jammed in front of the European ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, as Statista's Martin Armstrong shows in the infographic below, based on a snapshot from FleetMon, an online tracking portal for ships. Further north off the mouth of the Elbe, a number of cargo ships are also moored and waiting to be allowed to enter the port.

This map illustrates how the global economy is once again suffering from delays in container shipping.

Mystery plane flies over six NATO states

An anonymous aircraft spotted flying out of Lithuania was allowed to cross the airspace of several other NATO members unimpeded before landing in Bulgaria, in an illegal flight still baffling aviation officials across the continent.

Though fighter jets were scrambled to escort the fugitive plane, its crew was able to flee the scene and they remain unidentified.

After departing from a yet to be officially disclosed location in Lithuania on Wednesday, the craft traveled across Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Serbia, and Romania - all NATO states besides Belgrade - ultimately winding up at an abandoned airfield in Bulgaria, according to European officials and media reports. The plane was later found abandoned with no sign of its crew, though its engine was reportedly still warm when it was discovered.

While officials in several countries closely monitored the phantom flight, with the US, Hungarian, and Romanian air forces sending military jets to follow the plane at various points, the escorts broke off when it entered Bulgarian airspace. The small propeller craft did not have its transponder on and declined to respond to radio calls, but Bulgarian officials nonetheless decided it did not pose a threat, despite the apparent alarm triggered in some neighboring states.

Leftist Groomers: Keep Your Gender Fluids Away From Children

trans indoctrination
It's not always the case, but there are times when social conflicts arise in which one side is fully correct and the other side is completely and utterly wrong. When it comes to the debate over "trans rights" and the exposure of children to trans ideology, the political left has no logical defense. They are wrong to the point of pure madness, and like most insane people they choose to double and triple down on their delusions anyway.

They do this because they must - Their entire identity is dependent on this new cult religion, a religion built around the worship of ambiguous personal perceptions, narcissistic self worship and an unhealthy obsession with sexual fetishes.

The goal of leftists is to normalize trans ideology within our culture; not only that, but to make the ideology sacrosanct and protected from all rational criticism. Conservatives have long fought against this for a number of reasons, but there are two that are most important:

1) The trans movement is built on a lie. Biological sex is the only scientifically proven identifier of men and women. Gender fluidity, as leftists present it, has NO scientific basis in reality. There is no proof of its existence let alone enough proof to warrant the notion that laws need to be introduced to defend it and censorship enforced to save it from "bigotry." It is a fantasy, fabricated by quack sexual scientists (like pedophile advocate John Money) with an agenda far beyond simple observation of behavior.

More than 1,500 NYPD officers have either resigned or retired so far this year - on pace to be the biggest exodus of officers since the statistics have been available, The Post has learned.

Some 524 cops have resigned and 1,072 have retired as of May 31, NYPD pension stats obtained by The Post show.

The 1,596 total is a 38% spike from the same period in 2021, when 1,159 cops called it a career, and a staggering 46% climb from 2020, when 1,092 left the force by the same date.

Anti-cop hostility, bail reform, and rising crime have fed into frustration among the NYPD rank and file, according to one NYPD officer who recently fled for greener pastures at a Long Island police department after 6 1/2 years with the New York's Finest.
