Matt Hancock: Leaked messages suggest plan to frighten public
Matt Hancock suggested to an aide that they “frighten the pants off everyone” about Covid, messages published by the Sunday Telegraph show.
It appears the former health secretary discussed when to reveal the existence of the Kent variant of Covid to ensure people complied with lockdown rules.
In another exchange, the head of the Civil Service, Simon Case, suggested the “fear/guilt factor” was vital to the government’s messaging.

JK Rowling: The Witch Trials, The TERFs And The Playing Field
The fourth installment of The Witch Trials of JK Rowling begins with an innocent enough question-What is a TERF?
A TERF, according to this is “a person whose viewas on gender identity are considered hostile to transgender people, or who opposes social and political policies designed to be inclusive of transgender people”.
For many, after the year 2020, JK. Rowling was labeled as such. TERF used to stand for “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist”. But now, in 2023, addressing someone by the acronym, “TERF”, is synonymous with calling someone a witch. And, here we are.

NHL’S MINNESOTA WILD ACCUSED OF HOMOPHOBIA AFTER REFUSING TO WEAR PRIDE JERSEYS
The NHL’s Minnesota Wild were hounded by critics Tuesday night following a last-minute decision to ditch their Pride-themed jerseys for warm-ups.
After promoting their special warm-up jerseys for their Pride Night matchup against the Calgary Flames, Wild players appeared on the ice Tuesday without the jerseys and set off a number of people who called the retraction “homophobic.”
The decision to not wear the rainbow-colored jerseys was slammed as dismissive of the gay community, and Wild players were called bigots for their move.

News from Home: Another Antifa Riot, More Out-of-Towners Arrested
Antifa terrorists set fire to construction equipment at the site of a planned Atlanta police training facility Sunday, hurling rocks and fireworks at officers who responded to the riot scene. And this vandal horde of commies is almost entirely composed of outsiders:
Atlanta police identified 23 suspects charged with domestic terrorism after allegedly launching an attack against the construction site for a police and fire training facility dubbed “Cop City.”
The Atlanta Police Department revealed that all but two of the arrestees are from out of state. Another two are from out of the country.

Former Segregationist Bestie Joe Biden Has Thoughts On Race Relations
It is loathsome for the president to smear his political opponents as modern-day Bull Connors when he was the one who embraced segregation.
In a ceremony commemorating the 58th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, Joe Biden depicted Republicans as modern segregationists while claiming to be of part of the civil rights movement. “I was a student up north in the civil rights movement,” the president said. “I remember feeling how guilty I was; I wasn’t here. How could we all be up there, and you going through what you went through.”
This never happened. Just as Biden never participated in any marches or sit-ins or boycotts and just as he was never arrested trying to march with Mandela and just as he never represented any Black Panthers in the 1960s. No president, none, has lied about his personal history as aggressively and blatantly as Joe Biden. This is stolen valor, not the muttering of a doddering man with an aging mind. It has always been his modus operandi.
