SF Police Figured Out Who has Been Robbing Walgreens

Of all those cheering Donald Trump’s recent re-election as a victory over leftist tyranny, one group has especially personal reasons to celebrate: the roughly 1,400 Americans charged with crimes related to the Capitol protests of January 6, 2021. While these defendants and their families wait for the pardons Trump has hinted at, another set of prisoners languishes behind bars to the north. Though Canadian and not subject to the president-elect’s direct authority, their fate may also depend on actions Trump takes during his second term. Pressure from Biden emboldened Trudeau to invoke Canada’s Emergencies Act, which grants the federal government additional powers during threats to national security. Like the January 6 protests that preceded it, the movement that came to be known as the Freedom Convoy was a massive, decentralized, and spontaneously organized uprising against the authoritarian injustices of a liberal regime, this one of the Liberal Party of Canada. A nationwide rebellion It began in January 2022, when Canadian truckers organized a few separate convoys protesting COVID vaccine mandates for crossing the United States border. As these convoys converged in the capital, Ottawa, the movement grew into a nationwide rebellion against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s draconian regime of pandemic restrictions. The Freedom Convoy lit a fire around the world, garnering praise from former president Trump and inspiring many similar protests, including the People’s Convoy here in the United States. Over three weeks, thousands of Canadians demonstrated in Ottawa and around the country, disrupting traffic and blockading various border crossings. The protests were so effective, in fact, that they drew the ire of the Biden administration, then — as today — aggressively prosecuting anyone involved with the January 6 “insurrection.” The Democrat Party line was to cast these protesters as conspirators in the worst attack on America since 9/11, or even Pearl Harbor. As such, participants who were guilty of trespassing, at most, found themselves burdened with additional, spurious charges such as "entering and remaining in a restricted building" or "disorderly conduct.” Sentencing, too, was and continues to be unduly harsh — especially in cases involving no violence or property damage, let alone any demonstrable intent to overthrow the government. One such glaring example is that of Christian Secor, currently serving 42 months in federal prison essentially for sitting in Vice President Pence’s Senate seat. Biden butts in It was this authoritarian zeal that President Biden brought to the situation in Canada, America’s largest trading partner and longtime ally, with which it shares the longest undefended border in the world. Pressure from Biden emboldened Trudeau to invoke Canada’s Emergencies Act, which grants the federal government additional powers during threats to national security, a move Trudeau was considering from the get-go. The crackdown was swift and merciless. A situation at one of these protests, used by Trudeau to justify his controversial use of the Emergencies Act, involved four men arrested the night before it was invoked. The arrests took place at the protest in Coutts, a tiny village where Alberta Highway 4 crosses into Montana to become Interstate 15. As one of the busiest border crossings on the entire prairie, Coutts was of particular concern to both Biden and Trudeau Royal railroading On February 13, 2022, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided the protest site at Coutts and arrested 13 people, charging many with mischief and other nuisance charges that were likewise leveled at those in Ottawa later that week. Based on unrecorded and unverifiable testimony from undercover officers, and having confiscated hunting rifles using a faulty warrant, four of those arrested were charged with "conspiracy to murder police officers," a heinous accusation that shocked the nation. Despite having no criminal records or histories of violence, these four men, who would come to be known as the Coutts Four, were held without bail for two years while waiting to come to trial. Two of the men, Jerry Morin, a 43-year-old electrical lineman, and Tony Olienick, a 42-year-old trucking, excavation, and quarrying company owner, were kept for long periods of time in solitary confinement, a recognized form of torture and surely beyond the pale for a country like Canada, which has a proud tradition of leading U.N. peacekeeping missions and advocating for civil rights and democracy around the world. Conspiracy of silence During the two years of these men’s incarceration, the Canadian media said nothing about their treatment or the dubious and murky nature of their charges. The allegations about the Coutts Four, before ever being tested in court, were cited in a mandatory inquest into Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, and they continue to be seen as a legitimating factor, even though another Superior Court ruling found Trudeau’s invocation to be "unreasonable" and "unjustified." To this day, few Canadians — never mind Americans — are aware of what happened to the Coutts Four. Morin and Chris Lysak, 50, an electrician, were eventually released in February 2024 after pleading guilty to lesser charges. It is widely understood that the confession from Morin to "conspiracy to traffic firearms" was coerced by keeping him solitary; his appeal is pending. During the trial, the "firearms" undercover officers claimed Morin handled were proven to be socks, underwear, and a guitar. Lysak plead guilty to a gun mishandling charge, an easily applied offense in a country with no constitutionally protected gun rights and where owning a pistol is nearly impossible. It is also a very strange coincidence that Lysak and Morin were released about a week after Tucker Carlson appeared on stage in Alberta and mentioned their case. Thus far, Carlson is the only major media personality to have highlighted the plight of the Coutts Four at all. A case of collusion? The other two men, Olienick and Chris Carbert, eventually went to trial over two years after being arrested. While acquitted of the charge of conspiracy to murder police officers, they were found guilty of the lesser charges of mischief and possession of weapons for a dangerous purpose. In sentencing of the two men, the judge effectively did an "end run" around that not-guilty verdict, comparing their peaceful protest to another case in which a man drove his vehicle into Canada’s Parliament and wandered around with guns, actively looking for politicians to shoot. As if that weren't indication enough of the political nature of the case, evidence allegedly showing that Crown Prosector Steven Johnston broke the law in building a case against the Coutts Four has been sealed. Given what we know about allegations of collusion between Johnston and the RCMP, it seems likely that the case against the Coutts Four would have been thrown out. Olienick and Carbert remain in custody, serving out six and a half years for politically trumped-up charges. Like the Biden administration, which (as if to avenge the Democrats’ humiliating defeat at the polls) has vowed to spend its final two months making even more January 6 arrests, Trudeau is unrepentant about turning on his own people. Trump vs. Trudeau What, then, can Trump do once he takes office in January? While the two leaders have had a congenial enough relationship in the past, Trudeau and his ministers have spent a lot of time bad-mouthing Trump in Canada’s Parliament; President Trump’s new Cabinet nominees have taken note and are starting off their relationship with Trudeau on a sour note. There’s also the matter of Trudeau’s plummeting popularity within Canada. With members of his own party recently urging him to step down, the prime minister is more vulnerable than at any other time in his career. This presents ideal conditions for Trump to press the issue of the Coutts Four, perhaps in trade policy negotiations or while pointing out Canada’s failure to live up to its NATO commitments or adequately fund its own military. Then, of course, there’s Canada’s tendency to let an alarming number of illegal immigrants, including hundreds of terrorists, slip across the border and into America. MAGA diplomacyPresident Trump would do his many freedom-loving fans in Canada a great service by publicly acknowledging the Coutts Four as political prisoners, persecuted, like so many of the Freedom Convoy protestors, by an overzealous, politically-motivated government, which is still convicting peaceful protesters to this day. Such an acknowledgment would emphasize Trump’s commitment to undo the damage wrought by the Biden regime, while strongly encouraging Canada to safeguard the liberty of its own citizens. With both countries having atoned for the shameful treatment of their own citizens, America and Canada could then build an even stronger relationship, one based on mutual prosperity and security.

The opposition Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) has received from her progressive female colleagues in Congress is a clear sign that “theminism” is a far stronger political force than feminism. Mace recently submitted a resolution to ban men from women’s restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. She did so because Tim McBride, who “identifies” as a woman called Sarah, was elected to Congress in November and will become Mace’s colleague in January. The fact that liberals have become libertines and conservatives don’t know what they want to conserve is a sign of our culture’s spiritual sickness.Mace has spent several days posting videos about her desire to protect women in their private spaces, including bathrooms and locker rooms. Unsurprisingly, progressive women don’t have her back.Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called her Republican colleague’s attempts to keep natal males out of the women’s bathroom “disgusting” and said she would put “girls of all kinds” in danger. Former “Today Show” host Katie Couric said she was “disappointed” that Mace was being “bigoted” toward McBride. All of this comes at a time when Democrats, still reeling from their recent electoral drubbing, are doubling down on their support of radical gender ideology. Jen Psaki recently tried to minimize the issue of boys in girls’ sports on her show. John Oliver did the same on his show.None of this should come as a surprise. Some of the most outspoken women in our culture on abortion rights, pay equity, climate change, and politics are now scared to speak about the very thing they have built their identity around: womanhood. They spent decades trying to smash the patriarchy only to submit to the men leading the “theytriarchy.” The party that spent the last few months saying it would defend women is unwilling to define a “woman” publicly. The feminist movement has laid down its sword, raised the white flag of surrender, and bowed in submission to the handful of “impossible women” who are society’s latest oppressed group.Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem are hailed as the matriarchs of the Second Wave feminist movement that sought to give women greater access to higher education and professional opportunities. But Shulamith Firestone, a radical feminist, was vocal about her desire to see sex itself abolished in her 1971 book “The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution”:And just as the end goal of socialist revolution was not only the elimination of the economic class privilege but of the economic class distinction itself, so the end goal of feminist revolution must be, unlike that of the first feminist movement, not just the elimination of male privilege but of the sex distinction itself: genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally.Firestone died alone in her apartment in 2012 after years of living with schizophrenia, but she saw where the feminist movement was headed more than a half-century ago. The trans movement is a feature of her feminist utopia, but it’s a bug to women like Mace, who tout their “girl power” credentials and brag about supporting gay marriage. This is one of the reasons we are here today. A hallmark of progressivism is the desire to reshape reality by controlling the dictionary. Liberals — in both parties — transformed the government’s definition of marriage from a union between one man and one woman to a contract between any two consenting adults. For now. They are attempting to do the same with sex by pushing the notion it’s possible to be a male “woman” or female “man.” Only time will tell whether Republicans will develop the spine to see this battle all the way through. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) tried to dodge a direct question about McBride’s sex at a press conference before affirming the sex binary in a follow-up statement. Getting Jimmy off of Jane’s field hockey team is one thing. But forcing girls to refer to hulking teenage boys as “she” and “her” is a sign the roots of this twisted ideology are still firmly in place. The only thing that can withstand the current wave — and all the ones to come — is a renewed cultural mindset firmly rooted in biblical truth.No other ideology can assure victory because this is ultimately not a partisan problem. The fact that liberals have become libertines and conservatives don’t know what they want to conserve is a sign of our culture’s spiritual sickness. It’s impossible to rebuild American families if we live in a society where people are confused about which sex has the babies. The fact people are attacking Nancy Mace for her campaign to “Make Women Female Again” is a sign we’re continuing on our downward slide into madness. Only God can save us now. In the end, the choice is clear: We are either going to have Christ or chaos.
