Adding a political aggravator to a no-fly list because you don't like his speech is a pretty serious thing to do. If this is why he was on the no-fly list this should be a front-page national story. Maybe there's more to him than we know.

Ah yes...the new woke definition of "everybody." For those who missed it, it means just them now.

Communism or Marxism is a creeping, slow poison in western society. It is not a black and white thing. There is no middle word to describe it unless you want to call it creeping Socialism or Marxism. The middle word might be liberalism or so-called Social Democracy. It is driven by liberal, progressive ideology generally from the left of the political spectrum. But at the root is a deep spiritual struggle in the world, between good and bad, truth and error, or between God and anti-god or Satan and his minions and those who have been deceived and follow him. A refusal to follow God's word or God's revelation to man leaves a vacuum that must be filled. What fills the vacuum is man-made ideology otherwise called secular humanism which is liberalism. I should mention even though we have all this evil in the world, God is still in control and allows these things to happen for his own glory. We may not understand why God allows evil to happen, but the Bible says all things work out for the glory of God and for his purposes.

South Park had the definitive take on Scientology. Tom Cruise, from all I've heard, is an asshole.

The woman arrived in Toronto from China several days earlier. unquote Timeline of COVID-19 cases across Canada | CBC News It is obvious from news reports the first cases were coming from China for weeks beginning January 25th, 2020. Trudeau refused to close the border to air travel from China. If Trudeau had closed the border to air travel from China and other countries, particularly countries known to have Covid, back in January, and closed the border to non-essential travel from the U.S., the entire picture in Canada might have been much different.

Probably just as long as Obama supporters blamed Bush.

Seems you don't understand what freedom of expression in the Charter of Rights means and you don't understand that governments don't get involved in using the full power, lawyers, and resources of government to shut down a citizen's freedom of speech because they don't like his views. Using the power of state to control speech or silence citizens is Marxist or Communist style of government.

Sure, but his rhetoric certainly didn't discourage it. A leader should be able and willing to bring out the best in his followers, not the worst. Trump brought out the worst.

A point we don't spend much time thinking about is how all these angry attacks on each other, on our history, culture and values, on Capitalism and democracy are seen by our enemies. I'm sure the likes of China and Russia watched the riots throughout the US and UK the past year with smug smiles - and are doing their best to encourage more. A country that allows dissent, including the derogation of the state itself, looks strong — and in this respect the control freaks of the CCP, frightened of their own people, look weak. But a country that adopts self-excoriation as its national pastime also looks weak. The Chinese are keeping attentive watch as the West denigrates its heroes, debunks its previous sources of pride, vandalises its icons, denounces its cultural heritage, slanders its popular majorities as indelibly stained with original sin and rewrites its history to make its past appear as wicked as possible. The spectacle inspires contempt. The Chinese see the self--flagellating throes of the West as the certain bell-wether of terminal decline. We’re making ourselves look pathetic. In countries and individuals both, a penchant for self--criticism is only healthy when balanced by some measure of self-belief. I’ve no taste for the texture of Chinese nationalism — the militaristic displays, the synchronised marching, the numbing pomp, the hundreds of vacuously pretty young women dressed in red, singing bouncy songs in mincing voices. The Chinese are drilled from birth on their great country, their great people, their great leaders and their great destiny. All that patriotic indoctrination may be nauseating, but it gives the CCP an enormous popular solidarity to draw on. The rancid rhetoric of today’s left may be playing to the peanut gallery; aside from fetishising Palestinians, identitarians are provincial. Progressives display little interest in Myanmar, Xinjiang or Alexei Navalny’s fate in Russia. But trendy denunciation of our awful people, awful history and awful cultures doesn’t stay all in the family. It’s music to the ears of our adversaries, whose illiberal ambitions are primarily constrained by fear. Why fear a society that’s tearing itself apart for you? Alert to what looks from afar like decadence, decay and implosion, China is further emboldened to quash Hong Kong, annex the entire South China Sea and bully Australia for daring to desire more research into the origins of Covid-19. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-fear-a-society-that-s-tearing-itself-apart-

And you, being non-Muslim, do not get to change the religion to suit your extreme views. Wherever in the world where you look, the vast majority of Muslims live peaceful lives - it is only the extremists who are violent. That alone proves you are a liar determined to push a twisted ideology as some kind of the 'truth'. Sure, Argus.

Well, the unbeliever has to attack first ... a little detail you always forget to mention whenever you interpret the Koran to match your extremist views.
