Since it become a bit of a thing to post National Post stories here these days.

The National Post systematically rewrites wire stories to include loaded anti-Palestinian language, omit the context of occupation, and frame stories around Israeli viewpoints, a comprehensive data analysis shows.

The groups Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) and The Media Bias Project of Tech for Palestine (T4P) analyzed 197 Canadian Press (CP) news stories about Palestine and compared them to the version published by the National Post. The data gathered drew from articles published between October 9, 2023, to September 18, 2024.

People's Republic of Korea Formed (1945)

Wed Sep 12, 1945

The People's Republic of Korea (PRK) was a provisional government formed on this day in 1945. Based on people's committees, it presented a radical pro-working class program before being outlawed by the U.S. later that year.

At the time of the PRK's formation, Korea was being divided into two occupation zones, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the United States occupying the south.

Based on a network of people's committees, the PRK presented a program of radical social change, including seizing Japanese-owned land and redistributing it to peasants, universal suffrage, female equality, an eight-hour work day, and abolition of child labor.

The government was short-lived however - in the south, the US military government outlawed the PRK on December 12th, 1945, while in the north, Soviet authorities "recognized these committees as our local provisional government", according to a northern government official, as quoted by historian Stephen Gowans in "Patriots, Traitors, and Empires".

“Working out in the gym, I didn’t know what to do. It’s just squats, deadlifts, and walking for half an hour. That two and a half months of no PT [Physical Therapy] really just [shakes head]. It had nothing to do with the place I was going to, it was all insurance. They all had to wait for my insurance. That’s why in January I switched. It’s expensive, but I don’t want to go through any of that ever again. When I had hernia surgery three years ago, my insurance at the time said they would cover it. The day of the surgery, they said they couldn’t cover it. Thank God other people took care of that one. I’m still paying for the anesthesia. I get a pop-up on my credit card, ‘This amount out for anesthesia.’ It happened again, same insurance, with the knee surgery. The day of the knee surgery, they said, ‘No, we’re not covering it.’ The surgeon knew, because he’d seen this before with this insurance, he was like, ‘Let me make a couple of calls.’ Tony took care of it, Thank God. That was it.

“After that, I was like doing my insurance, but they would give six days of PT and then wait two weeks for my insurance to kick back in to cover the next six. Wait two weeks, sometimes three weeks, and then it would kick back in. I’m doing stuff at home, but it’s not the same stuff as I’m getting there. All it was were squats and deadlifts with a sandbag. That’s all I knew to do. At one point, it became two months. That was it. Arguing with them on email, my exact words were, ‘Do I pay every month? Yes. Do I ever disturb or do anything to fuck up this company? No, I don’t. If I’m paying and I’m not doing anything wrong, why the fuck are you bothering me?’ They never answered back. I just waited and then got the insurance finally in place.”

Republicans and Democrats, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Mace, are canceling events and taking other security precautions.

The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is sending shock waves through Capitol Hill, with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressing fears for their own safety and taking greater security precautions following a summer of political violence.

Members are beefing up their security, moving public events indoors or canceling them altogether. One is even vowing to carry firearms.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., the progressive star who has faced numerous death threats over the years, said Thursday she had postponed two public events planned for this weekend in North Carolina, including a rally in Raleigh set for Sunday.
