Bolt Out of the Blue: United Nations Committee Calls for Canada to Repeal Track 2 of its Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia Program.

By Ian McIntosh

This report comes in large part owing to the exceptional work done by Inclusion Canada -years in the making – who first issued this Press Release to announce this monumental news:

On Wednesday March 26, 2025, the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities released a set of recommendations calling on the government of Canada to repeal Track 2 of its assisted suicide and euthanasia program. Specifically, Canada’s 2021 amendment to its Criminal Code that expanded through Bill C-7, which expanded eligibility passed promised safeguards.

Track 2 of the Canadian assisted suicide and euthanasia program allows people with disabilities (“grievous and irremediable medical condition”) whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable to request assisted suicide or euthanasia.

Arguing against the very premise of Track 2, the report notes that the Canadian federal government,”…did not challenge the Quebec Truchon decision which fundamentally changes the whole premise of medical assistance in dying when natural death is reasonably foreseeable to a new program that establishes medically assisted dying for persons with disabilities based on negative, ableist perceptions of the quality and value of the life of persons with disabilities, including that ‘suffering’ is intrinsic to disability rather than the fact that inequality and discrimination cause and compound ‘suffering’ for persons with disabilities.”

Diane Coleman, a fierce advocate for disability rights who took on Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the right-to-die movement and the U.S. health care system, which she charged was responsible for devaluing the lives of Americans like her with physical and mental impairments, died on Nov. 1 at her home in Rochester, N.Y. She was 71. [Diane pictured right with sign stating "freedom rider"]

Her sister Catherine Morrison said the cause was sepsis. 

Ms. Coleman was born with spinal muscular atrophy, a disorder that affected her motor neurons. She was using a wheelchair by 11, and doctors expected her to die before adulthood.

Former NCAA Hurdler Demands "Stolen" Championship Be Returned After She Was Defeated by Male Athlete

Andrew Chapados, March 19, 2025

Minna Svärd says the president's executive order regarding men in women's sports does not go far enough.

Former track and field athlete Minna Svärd is asking the NCAA to award her a 2019 victory that she says was "stolen" by a male athlete participating in the women's division.

Svärd raced for East Texas A&M University in 2019 in the women's 400-meter hurdles and was the fastest female at any NCAA Division II school.

Svärd wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal and participated in subsequent interviews regarding a race at the NCAA championships where she posted a time of 59.21 seconds. Unfortunately, a male athlete named CeCe Telfer was also in that race, and with a time of 57.53, beat her by 1.68 seconds.

"It's been five years since that honor was stolen from me," Svärd wrote. "I want it back."

The Swedish athlete also revealed in an interview with Megyn Kelly that Telfer was allegedly ranked 390th in men's competitions before becoming the top female hurdler less than two years later. The male towered over his competition at events, dwarfing female athletes in side-by-side comparisons that made footage a travesty to watch.

Don’t Listen To The Emotional Blackmail Arguments Against Pardoning Derek Chauvin

https://www.dailywire.com/news/dont-listen-to-the-emotional-blackmail-arguments-against-pardoning-derek-chauvin

By Matt Walsh, 03/10/25

A couple of months ago we discussed once again the travesty of justice that was the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin [pictured right] . This was a trial that was conducted just down the street from ground-zero of the BLM riots of 2020, which destroyed Minneapolis’ police precinct, caused $500 million in damage to more than 1,500 businesses, and resulted in several deaths. We’re talking about the single most destructive riot in United States history, after the Los Angeles riots of 1992. And it happened in the same place where Derek Chauvin’s trial was being held. But the judge — who later declared that “every case is about racial justice” in some way — didn’t move the trial to a different venue. Instead, he made sure that Chauvin’s fate was determined by jurors who knew well that their city would burn to the ground if they didn’t convict. They had security fencing and National Guard troops all around the courthouse throughout the trial, just in case that message wasn’t clear.

And those jurors did exactly what you’d expect them to do, under those circumstances. They convicted Chauvin without even addressing the question of whether he had actually killed George Floyd. The jurors admitted it on CNN; they simply decided that Chauvin didn’t express enough concern for Floyd’s well-being. That was how they rationalized it. For their part, prosecutors repeatedly lied to the jury about the level of fentanyl in Floyd’s system at the time of his death. Specifically, prosecutors compared blood samples taken from Floyd before he was pronounced dead, to samples taken from overdose victims long after their deaths. And they pulled this off without the defense team noticing it. Their goal was clear: They wanted to downplay the sheer amount of fentanyl in Floyd’s system, which was well over a lethal dose. 

Autopen' Used on Official Docs Throughout Biden Presidency — including on Pardons while he Vacationed: Report

Joseph Mackinnon, 03/10/25

Missouri AG Andrew Bailey [pictured right] has requested that the Justice Department investigate the legality of Biden's presidential orders.

The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project revealed Thursday that Joe Biden's signature on numerous executive orders, pardons, and other documents of national consequence appears to have been machine-generated.

Oversight Project Executive Director Mike Howell told Blaze News, "The main legal question here is who was the president over the last four years. That's what we are aiming to uncover. The prolific use of autopen by the Biden White House was an instrument to hide the truth from the American people as to who was running the government."

Modern Day Redcoats

Allen West pictured left, 03/04/25

Our great Constitutional Republic is about to enter into an incredible historic moment, its 250th anniversary of independence. Now, to many Countries across the globe that is just a drop in the bucket. But when one considers the great strides and achievements that these United States of America have made in 250 years, it is unbelievable. It is also rather unconscionable that the cultural Marxists of the progressive socialist left would disavow the Nation’s founding and history with such absurdities as the 1619 Project.

I remember America’s 200th birthday ... I was just a 15-year-old kid growing up in Atlanta. It was a moment of pride, and as I prepare for the 250th, it is a time of even greater pride. However, before we get to July 4, 1776, American Independence Day, just so you know, the Republican Party of Texas was founded by 150 Black men on American Independence Day, 1867. It was just two years after they had found out that they were free, June 19, 1865.

But, there is an even more important 250th anniversary that is approaching within two months. It is the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, where our American Revolution began. As part of my growth as an American Patriot, I will be in Lexington on Saturday, 19 April to be a part of the remembrance. I am especially looking forward to running the 111th Annual Lexington Five Miler which is part of the celebration of “the shot fired heard ’round the world.” Imagine that, the kid born in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia, in a segregated, Blacks-only hospital, will be running a five mile race on the day 250 years ago, almost to the exact time, when men stood against the greatest military power the world knew at that time.

Bernie Moreno Wants to Give American Car Buyers Their Freedom Back

Lauren Fix, 03/05/25

https://www.theblaze.com/align/bernie-moreno-wants-to-give-american-car-buyers-their-freedom-back

The former car dealership owner has had enough of the EV mandate — and many Americans agree.

Finally — a politician who knows something about the car business.

I'm talking about Sen. Bernie Moreno [pictured above], an Ohio Republican who spent decades building a car dealership empire. That experience has led him to introduce legislation that would repeal emissions rules and give tax breaks to car manufacturers.

'Thanks to liberal bureaucrats who want to mandate what cars Americans can drive, states like mine are riddled with car lots filled with expensive EVs people simply don’t want.'

Moreno, along with a few other GOP senators, introduced bill S.711 — named the Transportation Freedom Act — to the floor on February 25, 2025.

This bill would repeal the multi-pollutant emissions standards for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles, repeal the next phase of heavy-duty vehicle greenhouse gas emissions standards; and repeal the Corporate Average Fuel Economy rules.

Teen Girl Faces Probe for ‘Misgendering’ Male Basketball Player

Frances Staudt is a sophomore in the Tumwater School District. During warmups she realized that a player on the opposing team happened to be a boy.

She alerted her coach and was told there was nothing they could do because state polices ban gender identity-based discrimination.

Frances withdrew from the game and was forced to watch from the sidelines. Watch my interview with Frances and her mother below.

“I should not have to give up everything that me and other girls have worked for just to let a boy play,” Frances told me. “And it is unsafe. Boys and girls are different on many levels of reasons, and they’re created differently. And so it’s an unsafe advantage. And that is not right.”

The school district is now investigating the teenager over charges that she misgendered the male player.

Death to DEI: The Real Reason Woke Policies Exist

Erik Carlson Mar 04, 2025

It is important to understand that many of the people who create, promote and fund movements and policies such as DEI, BLM, the Climate Change and LGBTQ+ agendas may not have the same goals, beliefs or values as the people who simply adhere to and support these types of movements and policies at a foot soldier level.

Many who follow and support these movements do so in good faith and believe that these movements and policies were created to do good, to provide a level playing field for people they believe are marginalized or victimized. Many people believe they are making the world a better place through adherence to these policies.

One Friday afternoon each month, to this day, I drive by a group of older white people at a busy intersection on my way home from work. In a very diverse, yet non-black area, they hold up BLM signs to the drivers passing by in the hopes of getting a reaction. I just roll my eyes at them when I drive by. They try to elicit honks and waves; they seem to crave attention; in my opinion, it somehow makes them feel better about themselves. Perhaps it washes away their white liberal boomer guilt.

Again, in my opinion, these particular people believe they are making a difference.

Kennedy Hits Pause on COVID Vaccine Project Worth Hundreds of Millions

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/kennedy-hits-pause-covid-vaccine-project-hhs/?utm_id=20250302

Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. put the brakes on a multi-million dollar contract with the American biotech company Vaxart to create a new COVID-19 vaccine, Fox News Digital reported.

Kennedy on Feb. 21 issued a 90-day stop-work order on the contract until HHS determines whether it is “prudent and safe” to continue. The order came just as the next phase of the company’s clinical trial, involving 10,000 participants, was set to start on Monday.

In this phase of the trial, the company is planning to test the efficacy of its vaccine against existing mRNA vaccines, bypassing a placebo-controlled assessment.

EXMNA Insights: History Complicates the Idea of Islam as a Liberating Force for Black Americans

Malcom X & Muhammad Ali pictured right.*

The Nation of Islam (NOI), in its rejection of the names imposed by white slave owners, encouraged its members to abandon their "slave names" and replace their surnames with "X"—a symbol of their lost African heritage. Yet, in a striking twist of irony, many then adopted Arabic names that directly translate to "slave" in another context. Names like Abdul (slave of), Abdullah (slave of Allah), Abid (slave/worshipper), and Abida (female slave/worshipper) became common among converts, unwittingly reinforcing the very concept of servitude they sought to escape.

This contradiction underscores the deep complexity of identity reclamation among African Americans navigating religious and cultural self-definition. The NOI’s emphasis on Islam as an alternative to Christianity, which they viewed as the "white man’s religion," led many to embrace Arabic and Islamic traditions without fully reckoning with their historical implications. Arabic-speaking societies, including Muslim-majority regions, were deeply involved in the trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean slave trades, including directly capturing and selling slaves to the West. The term abeed (slaves, plural of abd or slave) is still used in Arab popular vernacular to refer to Black Africans.

Thus, the effort to sever ties with European oppression led to the adoption of another linguistic and historical framework, which carries the same subjugating connotations. The rejection of "Johnson" or "Smith" in favor of "Abdullah" or "Abdul Rahman" represents not an escape from servitude, but rather a tragic exchange—one more recent oppressor’s legacy for a prior oppressor. The true liberation they sought might have required a deeper interrogation of both Western and Eastern historical narratives. 

A Lesson on Why Washington Does Not Function

By Allen West

Yes, I know, I spent one term in the US Congress. Republicans, namely one Florida State Senator Don Gaetz, determined it was prudent to redistrict out the first Black Republican Member of Congress from Florida since Reconstruction. 

After all, why have a strong Black conservative Congressional Representative, retired Army officer, who honored his oath to the Constitution? And, who was unafraid to speak the truth? Combat does that to a person, regardless of who feigned indignation. I recall sending a letter to the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Hal Rogers of Kentucky, asking him about the priority of the (12) Appropriations Bills necessary to create a spending budget. Silly Freshman member of the House of Representatives, how dare you inquire such folly from a senior member of the body? And so I never heard back from Chairman Rogers.

See, per the Constitution, Congress is mandated to pass a budget each year, and they fail to do so repeatedly. Somehow, they, regardless of political party, always seem to fall short, and we hear words such as Continuing Resolution, meaning spending levels will continue. Then, all of a sudden, at the end of the year, when folks are focused on Christmas, Congress comes up with something called an Omnibus spending bill. It is normally the 3,000+ pages of gobbledygook, I call it a spending gumbo, and it passes with no one really reading it.

Therefore, appropriations bills are never passed as they should be. There is no priority for the appropriations bills. And the result is that wasteful spending continues, with added spending.

Having Fewer Babies Will Cost U.S. Economy “Quadrillions of Dollars”

The West’s growing epidemic of childlessness and depopulation will “fundamentally alter our societies” and impose “an existential economic crisis” on the United States that will cost the U.S. alone “quadrillions of dollars,” according to two new reports.

Despite decades of warnings about overpopulation, the United States and Europe have long had fertility rates below the replacement level of 2.1 children per family. The global population bust will lead to nations with lower GDP, higher welfare spending, fewer workers, less economic power — and, possibly, a shift away from a global order led by the once-Christian West to one overwhelmed by a growing Muslim population.

“If we are unable to address our fertility crisis, the U.S. will face an existential economic crisis driven by a steep decline in fertility rates — one that could have an impact measured in the quadrillions of dollars,” wrote Jesús Fernández-Villaverde in The American Enterprise, the monthly publication of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). “[Y]es, tackling fertility has an impact measured in discounted terms of quadrillions of dollars, not just small change like a miserly trillion dollars here or there.”

“Seems bad,” quipped Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia and a fellow at the Institute for Family Studies (IFS).

If anything, the economic concerns minimize the full extent of the social revolution soon to be ushered in through low fertility, say experts in Europe.

The world’s impending underpopulation “should be treated as a primary political issue: We will be witnessing the reshaping of our region’s social, economic, and political landscape, impacting social structure, infrastructure, labour force, retirement, old age and health, state finances, and security — almost every aspect of life. It will break the system,” wrote Gudrun Kugler of Austria.

Elon Musk Lifts Lid on Bureaucratic ‘Sinkhole’ in Federal Government

When government bureaucrats talk about efficiency, the average person’s eyes generally glaze over, but not on Feb. 11 when from the Oval Office Elon Musk reported on the new Department of Government Efficiency’s early findings of waste, fraud, and abuse. Americans and reporters across the world sat on the edge of their seats as Musk discussed an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania.*

During Musk’s press briefing, as his 4-year-old son lingered next to President Donald Trump, Musk explained the antiquated retirement processing system that is illustrative of our government’s many problems.

The federal government lacks an automated system to process its workers’ retirement paperwork. The paper processing system, which is housed in a former limestone mine located 230 feet underground and is operated by more than 700 workers, takes several months to process an individual’s paperwork and only has the capacity to handle 10,000 retirements per month.

Despite all of the Democrats’ tears regarding Musk's work and DOGE’s efforts over the last several weeks, in 2014, The Washington Post itself—basically, the Left’s platform—labeled this retirement system “a sinkhole of bureaucracy.”

Judge Cancels NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ Trial and Leaves Corruption Charges Intact until Mid-March

LARRY NEUMEISTER and MICHAEL R. SISAK, Associated Press, Updated: Feb 21, 2025 / 06:56 PM CST *

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge on Friday canceled the corruption trial for New York City Mayor Eric Adams (pictured above) and appointed counsel to advise the court about the Justice Department’s controversial request to drop charges against the Democrat.

Judge Dale E. Ho’s written order means he won’t decide before mid-March whether to grant the dismissal of the case against the embattled mayor of the nation’s largest city.

On Friday, Ho said he appointed Paul Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general under President George W. Bush, to present arguments on the government’s case-drop request.

The judge noted that courts are normally “aided in their decision-making through our system of adversarial testing, which can be particularly helpful in cases presenting unusual fact patterns or in cases of great public importance.”

He said a Wednesday hearing had “no adversarial testing of the Government’s position,” and the absence made it important to appoint Clement to assist the judge in reaching a conclusion.

What is RFK Jr’s real job as Secretary of Health and Human Services?

https://libertyfirst.org/what-is-rfk-jrs-real-job-as-secretary-of-health-and-human-services/?seyid=53060?utm_source=activeengage

Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s confirmation as the Secretary of Health and Human Services in the US is the ultimate repudiation of the Covid policy response.

The scheme of lockdown-until-vaccination was the biggest effort of government and industry on a global scale on historical record. It was all designed to transfer wealth to winning industries (pharma, online retail, streaming services, online education), divide and conquer the population, and consolidate power in the administrative state.

By 2021, RFK Jr had emerged as the world’s most vocal, erudite, and knowledgeable critic of the scheme. In two brilliant books – The Real Anthony Fauci and The Wuhan Cover-Up – he documented the entire enterprise and dated the evolution of the pandemic industry from its postwar inception to the present. There was simply no way to read these books and think about the corporatist cabal in the same way.

Leader of Canada’s Trucker Protests Against COVID-19 Restrictions gets 3 Months House Arrest

The Associated Press, February 19, 2025, 1:54 PM  

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — One of the most prominent figures from Canada’s trucker protests against COVID-19 restrictions in 2022 was sentenced to three months of house arrest on Wednesday.

Pat King, 47, [pictured right] was found guilty in November of five criminal charges including mischief and disobeying a court order. He faced up to 10 years in prison.

In its ruling Wednesday, an Ontario Superior Court judge gave King nine months credit for time already spent in custody before and during his trial. On top of the house arrest, he will have to complete 100 hours of community service at a food bank or men’s shelter.

Two other organizers, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, are awaiting the outcomes of their trials.

The February 2022 protests, dubbed the Freedom Convoy, were sparked by a Canadian government vaccine mandate for truck drivers crossing the U.S.-Canada border.

Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of protesters clogged the streets of the capital, Ottawa, and besieged Parliament Hill for three weeks in early 2022, demonstrating against vaccine mandates for truckers and other precautions and condemning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government.
