Simone Biles took offense to OutKick contributor Riley Gaines calling out a Minnesota high school whose softball team won a state championship Friday with a transgender pitcher.
Marissa Rothenberger, a transgender athlete, tossed a shutout to continue a dominant postseason and give Champlin Park High School a state championship.
A driver who has racked up 32 driving prohibitions or suspensions, as well as 16 24-hour driving bans, failed to convince a British Columbia judge he should get a lighter sentence than normal for drunk driving because more than six months in jail could get him deported to India.
The most incriminating evidence yet in the growing scandal surrounding Joe Biden’s use of the presidential autopen has been revealed.
For years, questions have swirled about who was really in charge during Biden’s presidency, and those questions were made worse by the revelation of Biden’s frequent reliance on the autopen.
OTTAWA – The American ambassador to Canada is pushing back on Ottawa’s travel advice, saying his country doesn’t search phones at the border and arguing some Americans travelling here are having a tough time.
“We welcome Canadians to come in and invest, to spend their hard-earned Canadian dollars at U.S. businesses,” U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra told The Canadian Press in an interview Friday.
“If a Canadian has had a disappointing experience coming into the United States, I’m not denying that it happened, but I’m saying it’s an isolated event and it is not a pattern.”
Elon Musk has deleted a tweet in which he alleged that Donald Trump was “in the Epstein files”.
The social media post was written on Thursday amid a fierce war of words between the tech billionaire and the US president – marking an abrupt end to their close alliance – following a dispute over Mr Trump’s flagship spending Bill.
As the disagreement escalated, Mr Musk also suggested that his former boss should be removed from office.
… The mayor of Niagara Falls, Jim Diodati, said his city is proud to open its doors to other Canadians in their time of need. But he also said he’s frustrated no one from the federal government told him such an unprecedented influx of evacuees would arrive at the beginning of peak tourist season.
Niagara Falls, with its large stock of hotel rooms, is already hosting around 1,500 refugee claimants – who rely on social services, soup kitchens, food banks and local charities – under a temporary hotel housing system designed by Ottawa at a cost of $208 a day per person. There’s little economic benefit except for hotel owners in a town that has been built around tourism, he said.
Believing the West is under threat from mass migration has been classed as a “terrorist ideology” that could merit intervention from the government’s anti-radicalisation programme.
An online training course hosted on the government’s website for Prevent lists “cultural nationalism” as a belief that could lead to an individual being referred to the programme, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Staff taking the course were told that this encompasses a conviction that “western culture is under threat from mass migration and a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups”.
It’s called criminalizing dissent and the Liberal Party has engaged in it for the last decade. Got that you Islamophobes!
Canada’s government news organization is set to get fatter and more powerful.
In the middle of the election campaign, Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to pay the CBC more money, waving around about $150 million in fresh taxpayer cash.
CBC covered that big scoop with a headline calling the CBC “underfunded.”

Several Trump administration officials fired back at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Friday after she pledged to oppose federal efforts to nab illegal immigrants — as cops in her city had to use flash bangs to disperse the violent mob of protesters who descended on the arrest sites.
“We will not stand for this,” Bass said in a statement released after federal immigration authorities arrested 44 people in raids across Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says she’s going to defend illegals from ICE:
“We are going to fight for all Angelenos, regardless of when they got here, whether they have papers or not, we are a city of immigrants.”

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly is indicating that a crackdown on dumping of cheap foreign steel into Canada is coming soon– a move that will help cushion the blow for Canada’s big three steel producers that are grappling with U.S President Donald’s Trump’s 50-per-cent tariffs.
Algoma Steel Group Inc. chief executive Michael Garcia has argued on multiple occasions that mills from China, South Korea, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, the Middle East and Turkey regularly dump steel into Canada and make it nearly impossible for the company to compete in its home market. In meetings with federal politicians over the past few few days, he’s pleaded for Canada to immediately place tariffs on all of these countries.
Five leaders of far-right group the Proud Boys, who were convicted in connection to the 6 January, 2021 Capitol riot, have sued the US government for $100 million (£74m), claiming that their rights were violated during their prosecution.
The five were convicted of plotting and taking part in the riot to overturn President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election. Trump pardoned or commuted their sentences earlier this year.
The lawsuit, filed in Florida on Friday, claims FBI agents and prosecutors were motivated by personal biases when prosecuting their cases.

And Canada is just such a place if recent developments in the nation’s courtrooms are any indication.
Hours after they had come under fire from the White House, Deborah Turness, chief executive of BBC News, sought to rally her troops.
In an email sent to all staff in BBC news and current affairs, Turness said she was “deeply proud” of their efforts, which were of the “highest quality … in the most challenging circumstances”.

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) has launched a legal challenge to Alberta’s recent ban on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for youth under 16 who identify as transgender. The CMA argues that Alberta’s Bill 26, enacted in December last year, violates physicians’ Charter right to freedom of conscience. This raises a pertinent question: If a doctor is compelled by conscience to subject vulnerable youth to unproven treatments despite growing evidence of harm, should governments intervene to protect patients?
