Canadian Legend Faces Kangaroo Court After Misgendering Complaint
Topic: Violence Against Women

Libby Emmons opens with a hard look at how Western media and governments have repeatedly bowed to Islamist threats, from cartoon controversies in Denmark and Sweden to teachers still in hiding for showing a cartoon in class. Then, National Post legend Barbara Kay joins the show to break down the human rights complaint filed against her by a well-known trans activist for "deadnaming" and refusing to use his preferred pronouns. Barbara and Libby dig into Canada's speech laws, the state of free expression versus America's First Amendment protections, and where the lines should be drawn.

Trump's Four-Year Visa Cap Could Crush Graduate Enrollment By 30%. Beginning Sept. 15, most people entering on F-1 and J-1 visas will no longer be admitted for "duration of status" ... Instead, students and scholars will receive predetermined admission periods based on the length of their programs, capped at four years. Any extension needed to complete a degree, including for many doctoral candidates, will require an application to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Now, a Ban New rules will impact Friday's charts. Australia's music charts just drew a line in the sand on AI. The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) on Tuesday announced that songs must be "substantially human made" to qualify, effectively sidelining fully AI-generated tracks—even ones already climbing the charts. That could spell trouble for Brisbane DJ Josh Fawaz's viral cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer," which is currently No. 1 on ARIA's Australian Dance Singles chart and was the most-played song on Australian radio last month, per Reuters.

Cash-Strapped Ukraine Gripped by Preparatory “Female Mobilization” Info-Drive
Topic: Violence Against Women

A whirlwind new media campaign has been orchestrated around plying society to the acceptance of mobilizing the female population of Ukraine. Ex-Defense Minister Reznikov first broke the ice by discussing the new “stricter” mobilization procedures being promised by Zelensky’s government, which include tightening various rules as well as potentially changing the draft age. But at the 0:30 second mark, he states that for Ukraine to make it, it must look to other states which have successfully solved manpower issues, and elevates Israel to the exemplary role

Child stunting is Pakistan's hidden economic crisis
Topic: Children and Family
Source: The Asian Age
Nearly four in every ten Pakistani children are chronically malnourished. This is not merely a public health concern or a humanitarian tragedy. It is one of the greatest threats to Pakistan's long-term economic growth and competitiveness because it undermines the country's most valuable asset: its human capital. According to the National Nutrition Survey 2018, 40.2% of Pakistani children under five are stunted, a figure that has remained stubbornly high for more than two decades. More recent assessments by Unicef and the World Bank suggest only modest improvements despite repeated policy commitments. Stunting is often misunderstood as simply being short for one's age. In reality, it is the physical manifestation of chronic undernutrition during the most critical period of human development. The first 1,000 days – from conception until a child's second birthday – shape brain development, immunity, learning capacity and future productivity. When nutritional deprivation occurs during this narrow window, much of the damage becomes irreversible.

According to the report, about $140 million has been spent, while another $90 million remains obligated. The Defense of Freedom Institute and Legal Insurrection Foundation identified 249 federal assistance records that used the term "intersectionality," an ideological framework that examines race, sex, class and other characteristics in assessing discrimination and privilege. According to the report, about $140 million has been spent, while another $90 million remains obligated. Funding surged during former President Joe Biden's administration, peaking at $80.1 million in 2023, before declining under President Donald Trump.

Federal judge rejects legal argument of Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator. Ghislaine Maxwell just hit another legal dead end. A federal judge in New York on Tuesday refused to overturn her conviction and 20-year sentence for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls, reports Reuters.

El-Sayed referenced Vance's wife, Usha, has he hit back at the vice president's comments. "So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no…," he wrote on X. Usha is the daughter of Indian immigrants and the first ever practicing Hindu second lady. El-Sayed appeared to be suggesting that Usha may have faced hostility if she'd have met Vance's white Midwestern grandfather, who died when the vice president was 13 years old.

Are you circumcised?” El-Sayed asked Watters as the two debated whether the government should prohibit sex-change surgeries on minors. Watters initially appeared shocked before El-Sayed asked, “Jesse, are you?” “Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that’s a personal question, doctor!” Watters responded. El-Sayed then suggested the question demonstrated an inconsistency in Watters' position, saying, “You probably should want to move on.”

The Evolutionary Roots of the Male Mental Health Crisis
Topic: Men's Movement
Source: Psychology Today
It’s striking how long men’s troubles have gone unnoticed. Men account for roughly 80% of suicides in the United States and nearly three out of every four “deaths of despair,” a term coined by economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton for the combination of deaths due to drug overdoses, alcohol-related deaths, and suicides (Case & Deaton, 2021; Reeves, 2022). And this pattern extends past mortality as well: Among Americans aged 25 to 34, 47% of women now hold a bachelor’s degree compared to 37% of men, a gap that did not exist as recently as 1995 (Pew Research Center, 2024), while the share of men ages 25 to 54 outside the labor force entirely has roughly doubled since the 1970s, rising from 5.8% to 11.4% (Bengali et al., 2023).

Dolly Did Just Fine Without Politics
Topic: Individualist Feminism

I wrote the following in this space in 2019 about one of the nation’s great entertainers, Dolly Parton, who has died at age 80. A profile in the New York Times finds it “odd” that almost everyone loves country entertainment legend Dolly Parton even though she “has remained reluctant to make the slightest hint of a political statement.” I think that should win some sort of prize for statements that are best at missing what is in plain sight. Do most people really want politics to play that big a part in their lives or their choice of entertainment? I don’t know, but here are some of the reactions I’ve seen this morning on social media

Feminists are now lined up CHEERING as Lindsay Clancy arrives to court where she is on trial after admitting to strangling her 3 children to death with a rope. This case has sparked an outpouring of support for Clancy from primarily liberal women who have banded together to discuss their own postpartum experiences, including intrusive thoughts of wanting to kill their own children, much like Clancy. Critics denounced the support as disgusting, pointing out that Clancy had sought aid and hired a babysitter to care for her children.

Imagine if airports operated "white-only bathrooms"... Texas Governor Greg Abbott is escalating the fight against what he calls discriminatory religious facilities at two of the state's busiest airports. After DFW Airport scrapped plans for more Islamic ablution stations under pressure, Abbott has referred both Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport to the U.S. Department of Justice, demanding investigation and corrective action over existing foot-washing stations and an adjoining prayer room. "These ablution stations single out one subset of the population for special treatment based on religion," Abbott said. "They are not interfaith chapels open to all. They exist to benefit the Muslim population alone. Government-owned airports cannot favor one religion over all others."

The NEET Army: What Young Men Face Today
Topic: Men's Movement

If you’re a Baby Boomer and a socially-conservative Christian, and you don’t understand young men nowadays, I’m writing for you. I also have something to ask of you at the end of this essay. It recently came to my attention that some of you don’t understand why a large number of young men have become shut-ins, often addicts, without career or romantic prospects. The term used for this now is “NEET.” That is, they are Not in Education, Employment or Training. Men described as NEETS are those who were once simply called slackers, basement-dwellers, and so on. I’d like to explain how this happened.

Yes, men are allowed to opine about Lindsay Clancy.
Topic: Political Correctness
Source: The Washington Examiner
If not, then why did she hire a male attorney? Many of her supporters have cited in gatherings, demonstrations, social media posts, or disturbing TikTok videos that men don’t get to have an opinion on it because they are men and Clancy is a woman. And, because of this difference in genders, men should be silenced from commenting about the court case of the mother who allegedly coordinated the premeditated murder of her three young children. Why? Because, as some have regularly argued, men cannot understand a woman in this scenario because women are the ones to give birth, as if one needs to bear children to understand the horrors of filicide. It’s rather sexist, prejudiced, and outright misandrist. It’s also illogical. After all, if a man’s voice is not welcomed in the Clancy case, then why did she hire a male attorney to represent her instead of a female one?

Survey Finds 'Heteroflexible' Is The Fastest Growing Sexual Orientation In America. Our culture is being transformed at a pace that is difficult to comprehend... The numbers that I am going to share with you in this article paint an undeniable picture about where our society is heading. That doesn’t mean that the trends that we are witnessing now are permanent. We have been through so many societal pivot points in recent decades, and it is probably inevitable that there will be more. But without a doubt there have been some very clear long-term cultural shifts that have radically changed how we relate to one another and to the world around us.

The organization found a number of colleges and universities that are undertaking this work, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; University of California, Berkeley; Columbia University; Virginia State University; and Morgan State University.
