The 'Breakthrough Fellowship' prohibits whites and Asians from applying, a restriction that is 'flagrantly illegal'.

The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer offers a prestigious fellowship that bars whites and Asians from applying. Trumpeted on the company's website as a "Bold Move" to "create a workplace for all," civil rights lawyers are characterizing it in a different way: as a blatant violation of the law.

"This Pfizer program is so flagrantly illegal I seriously wonder how it passed internal review by its general counsel," said Adam Mortara, one of the country's top civil rights attorneys.

Comment: Racism against white people is now acceptable and encouraged. Meritocracy is dead.

Women are disproportionately hurting our country

When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled "Naked Nomads," which had a deep impact on me. It was about single men and all the pathologies associated with them. For example, Gilder drove home the point that the biggest factor concerning violent crime was that it is overwhelmingly committed by single men.

While there was no danger — I would say no chance — that I would commit a violent crime (though I was, at the time, single), this fact along with others in the book made me a lifelong advocate of marriage.

I also came to realize that raising good men was the most important thing society could do. If it doesn't, the male propensity to physical aggression and predatory sexual behavior will wreak havoc. Therefore, raising boys to control their natures is fundamental to society avoiding chaos.

A majority of people say they smoke marijuana more than cigarettes, based on data from a new Gallup poll.

Sixteen percent of Americans say they currently smoke marijuana with 48% of respondents sharing that they have tried it at some point in their life — the highest rate ever recorded by Gallup. Last year, 12% of respondents said they used marijuana.

The poll released on Aug. 16 was part of a study that examined people's attitudes regarding marijuana's benefits to society.

Comment: People have been so thoroughly programmed that they now fully believe smoking marijuana is more beneficial than smoking tobacco. They couldn't be more wrong.

Moscow has welcomed the idea of UN inspectors remaining at the Zaporozhye nuclear plant.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) plans on establishing a "permanent presence" at the Russian-controlled Zaporozhye nuclear plant. Moscow has repeatedly accused Kiev of shelling the nuclear facility.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi made his remarks on Wednesday at a press briefing in Kiev, before inspectors traveled to Zaporozhye.

The Grande Prairie man who verbally attacked Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland on Friday says he is "proud of his behaviour."

The man from the video is Elliott McDavid. Mainstream media reports have labeled him as a "Right-wing extremist" and that he is an "active organizer of freedom convoy events in his area."

McDavid said in a interview on Saturday that it is time for Canada to "wake up."

"Why did I do that? Because I want the rest of the country to wake up and realize that she is a traitor to the country. She is selling out the country," Elliot McDavid said in a phone interview to The Tyee on Saturday.

Hungary signed a contract with Gazprom for the supply of additional 5.8 mln cubic meters of gas per day from September 1, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto announced on Wednesday.

"An agreement has been reached for September and October. From September 1, Gazprom will supply volumes of natural gas to Hungary in addition to the contracts that have been already signed," he said in a video message posted on social network.

Szijjarto specified that in August, additional deliveries of Russian gas to Hungary amounted to 2.5 mln cubic meters per day. "Now we have reached an agreement with Gazprom and signed a contract that the maximum additional gas supplies to Hungary through Serbia will amount to 5.8 mln cubic meters per day," the minister said.

Belgium's farmers attempt to storm city hall over EU's green scheme that would throw them out of business

Farmers in northern Belgium attempted to break into the town hall of Hoogstraten after staging a mass protest in response to the government's EU-driven agenda to cut nitrogen emissions, as is being attempted in the Netherlands.

The European Union's Natura 2000 network, which mandates that the 27 member states must protect designated habitats in a "sustainable manner, both ecologically and economically," and therefore must cut nitrogen emissions — spurring widespread unrest among the Dutch Farmers — has now spread to the heart of the EU in Belgium, with farmers driving their tractors to the centre of Hoogstraten on Monday evening.

The protesters, who set fires on the street and attempted to stage a break-in of the city hall, were reportedly angered by the local government expressing support for the national government's plan to impose limits on nitrogen, a move that would disproportionately impact the farming industry, the local Het Laatste Nieuws newspaper reported.

Follow the science or follow the evidence?

Comment on Lord Sumptions' Times editorial

Throughout restrictions which Lord Sumption called a "catastrophe", we were exposed to the mantra of "follow the science". But unfortunately, the only "science" that seems to have been followed in the major decisions is that of modellers and government departments.

Models are akin to opinions. If they are science, the evidence they provide sits on the lowest rung of the ladder. Modellers are accountable to no one; most have never seen a patient in their lives as they have no clinical background, which impedes their understanding of how people behave. Individuals are not herds of buffalos. Some modellers have a consistent track record of getting their predictions dramatically wrong with (again) catastrophic consequences.

Since the start, we have looked at the evidence underpinning the fear-generating narrative pushed by the government, some politicians, the media and many Twitterati, who overnight forgot the principles of scientific investigation, equipoise or uncertainty and the work of many pioneers in respiratory virus epidemiology spanning a century.

The psychotic narrative rests on three legs of what we call the Covid narrative stool.

Egypt has decided to issue bond's denominated in China's currency, the yuan. Egyptian Finance Minister Mohamed Maait said at a press conference today that Egypt will issue $1.5 and $2 billion's worth of the yuan-denominated bonds, multiple Arabic-language media outlets reported.

What it means

Bonds are a financial security that represent a government's obligation to repay the bond buyers. Government typically use bonds to help finance expenses. In this instance, Egypt will issue bonds with a monetary value denominated in yuan, as opposed to Egyptian pounds or US dollars.

Comment: What with the US withdrawal of $130 million in aid to Egypt back in January, ostensibly over human rights issues, one can imagine that the country's pivot to the east - like so many other countries feel emboldened enough to do now - will only accelerate:

Report says UK policing 'has lost its way' and cops should stop 'being woke'

Calls for cops to stop 'taking the knee and other acts that could be seen as ''woke. Get back to basics and focus on fighting on crime'

British policing has 'lost its way' and officers should stop taking actions - including 'taking the knee' and wearing partisan political badges or symbols - that could be seen as 'woke' by a public which has lost confidence in many forces across the country, a hard-hitting report has warned.

A manifesto by the Policy Exchange think-tank has urged Britain's next Prime Minister to implement a series of drastic reforms that would protect citizens from a mounting tide of violent crime and disorder and restore public confidence in policing.

The report, entitled What do we want from the next Prime Minister?, makes 11 recommendations including a 'return to basics' and 'focus on fighting crime', 'no more taking the knee and other acts that could be seen as ''woke''', tougher laws to clampdown on road-blocking eco-zealots and left-wing statue vandals, and a drive to recruit 'hacker cops' to tackle a surge in fraud and online sexual abuse.

Comment: The report's recommendations:
The Policy Exchange report recommends a string of policies, including:
  • POWERS TO INSTRUCT POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONERS: The Home Secretary should use their powers in legislation to provide direction to police and crime commissioners in those forces that have been placed into 'special measures'. Where appropriate this may include the replacement of the chief constable and other senior officers;
  • POWERS TO DISMISS CRIMINAL OFFICERS: Police regulations should urgently be amended so that the decision to dismiss officers found guilty of criminality or serious misconduct lies with police chiefs. It is critically important if police chiefs are to be able to drive the cultural change necessary in policing;
  • MORE TRAINING TO TACKLE PROTESTS: The Home Office, working with the National Police Chiefs Council and the College of Policing, should undertake a thorough review of the existing legislation, case law and guidance (including police tactics, technology and equipment) to provide officers with the tools necessary to effectively police protests and other public events;
  • POWERS TO END THE 'CLOSED SHOP' OF POLICE PROMOTIONS: Police Regulations should be amended to mandate the end of the 'closed shop' of police promotions. All appointments to chief police officer, superintendent and inspector ranks should be open to external and re-joiner applicants. At least a quarter of all appointments to these ranks should be made to external or rejoiner applicants;
  • SCRAP THE COLLEGE OF POLICING: The College of Policing should be replaced. Its role in setting standards should be transferred to Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services. A national police Leadership Academy should be established with responsibility to develop and drive a singular doctrine of leadership into policing. The police Leadership Academy should be responsible, with forces, for the effective training and development of policing leaders across the country;
  • AN APP SO RESIDENTS CAN REPORT CRIMES IN 'REAL-TIME': The roll-out of app-based technology should be piloted across the country to enable greater involvement for local residents in policing tactics and decision-making. Forces should be held to account by publishing the data showing whether they are focusing on the issues that most concern local people;
  • REFORM THE ANTI-FRAUD OPERATION: The Home Office should reorganise the response to the fraud epidemic. This must include fraud being represented in the Strategic Policing Requirement. Responsibility for investigating fraud should be transferred to appropriately resourced Regional Organised Crime Units under the leadership and governance of the National Crime Agency;
  • RECRUIT 'HACKER COPS': The Home Office should establish the scale of a new corps of data scientists, programmers and hackers to be recruited into policing to tackle the threat from online crime. This recruitment programme should be commenced at the earliest opportunity, in addition to the uniformed officers currently being recruited under the Government's existing Police Uplift Programme.
