He wandered a little, praised Vancouver's selection of Eli Vickers with the third overall pick, then thanked Cami Kepke, the WHL's community engagement and content manager, and told her something that's become something of a lost art.&nbsp;“You're a good-looking girl.”85-year-old WHL scout just can’t help himself on air 😂 pic.twitter.com/8tcdpZlE7b— World Hockey Report (@worldhockeyrpt) May 7, 2026In the pantheon of infamous quotes, this ranks at the top, especially when compared to these old chestnuts.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dan Near, the WHL commissioner, fined the Vancouver Giants $5,000 for conduct detrimental to the league. Near said accountability is a cornerstone value for the league and that the remarks didn't reflect its standards of respect and inclusion.Fine.A league is entitled to set rules for its broadcasts, yet a $5,000 fine over one awkward compliment from an 85-year-old scout feels less like discipline and more like modern theater. Complete with the familiar script of outrage, statement, punishment, and lesson learned.Bonner wasn't insulting Kepke, he wasn't crude, and he didn't launch into some creepy Joe Biden rant. He made an old-fashioned comment that landed badly in 2026 because every public setting now operates like a courtroom with cameras.]]>Sat, 09 May 2026 21:44:00 -0400<![CDATA[David Manney]]><![CDATA[Canada]]><![CDATA[Sports]]>https://pjmedia.com/david-manney/2026/05/09/canada-fines-an-85-year-old-hockey-scout-for-being-old-fashioned-n4952685<![CDATA[On Monday, I shared with you how independent journalist Nick Shirley went to communist Cuba to try to get an idea what's really happening on the ground there and how the people feel about everything — their "leadership," communism, Donald Trump, the lack of oil and electricity, etc. &nbsp;]]>Sat, 09 May 2026 21:20:24 -0400<![CDATA[Sarah Anderson]]><![CDATA[Communism]]><![CDATA[Cuba]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Marco Rubio]]><![CDATA[Socialism]]>https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2026/05/09/nick-shirley-shares-more-about-his-24-hours-in-cuba-and-you-just-need-to-see-this-n4952677<![CDATA[Martina Navratilova, the women's tennis legend who knows more about women's competition than most politicians know about tying their shoes, just called out California Gov.

In Nov. 2023, Loay Abdel Fattah Alnaji was one of a crowd of pro-Hamas protesters in Thousand Oaks, California, facing off against pro-Israel counterprotesters in the heated days immediately following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 massacre of 1,200 Israelis. Alnaji, 53, was wielding a megaphone like a weapon, and confronted Paul Kessler, a 69-year-old Jewish man who was among the counterprotesters. Alnaji hit Kessler on the head with his megaphone; Kessler fell back and hit his head on the pavement, and died not long afterward. And now, it looks as if justice will not be done.]]>Sat, 09 May 2026 17:16:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Spencer]]><![CDATA[Antisemitism]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Crime]]><![CDATA[Hamas]]><![CDATA[Israel]]>https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2026/05/09/california-muslim-who-brought-about-death-of-jewish-protester-gets-slap-on-the-wrist-n4952676<![CDATA[Virginia Democrats were in such a rush to file a motion against their state’s Supreme Court ruling deeming a gerrymandered map unconstitutional that not even the barest proofreading happened.
