Sunny Hostin Claims AOC Is NOT ‘Far Left,’ Only ‘Demonized’ By GOP!
As more Democrats are losing House seats, following the Republican presidential win, the Democratic Party has been questioning its up-and-coming leaders. In reviewing this discussion, The View’s Sunny Hostin was appalled on Wednesday, claiming persecution against young Democratic lawmakers such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) by Republicans. The ABC co-host claimed that Ocasio-Cortez’s political beliefs were not so left-leaning, aligned with most of young Americans, and should be considered basic stances by the Democratic Party.
Muslim arrested in Quebec for alleged plot to kill Jews in NYC transferred to Montreal
A Pakistani man arrested in Quebec for an alleged plot to kill Jews in New York City has been transferred to a provincial detention centre in Montreal from Rimouski, Que.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, who appeared in Quebec Superior Court this morning, was transferred to the jail in the city’s east end on Thursday, but his lawyer says he hasn’t yet been able to review court documents with his client in person.
US scraps $10m bounty for arrest of Syria’s new leader Sharaa
The US has scrapped a $10m (£7.9m) reward for the arrest of Syria’s de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, following meetings between senior diplomats and representatives from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
Assistant Secretary of State Barbara Leaf said the discussion with Sharaa was “very productive”, and he came across as “pragmatic”.
The US delegation arrived in the capital, Damascus, after HTS overthrew the Bashar al-Assad regime less than a fortnight ago. Washington still designates it as a terrorist group.
Magdeburg horror: ‘At least 60 – 80’ are injured as a Muslim from Saudi Arabia drives into crowd at Christmas market in Germany
UPPERDATE: The Telegraph reports authorities are treating this incident as a Terror Attack and the Perp is a Saudi Doctor.
Update: Bild is reporting that the attacker is a Muslim born in Saudi Arabia
A car drove into a group of people at a Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, leaving at least one person dead and 20 people injured.
The driver of the car, reported to be a dark BMW, was arrested following the crash which took place at 7:04pm today, according to unidentified government officials in the state of Saxony-Anhalt who spoke to the dpa news agency.
Video footage too graphic to share appears to show the dark car careening into the dense crowd, leaving dozens of people lying on the floor.
No confirmation on the Perp just yet, but there is the suggestion it is a Muslim.

Canadian military deployed “gender advisors” to Ukraine, Haiti
The Canadian Armed Forces has been deploying “gender advisors” to international operations, including in Ukraine and Haiti, as part of a broader push to integrate gender ideology into military activities abroad.
This initiative, highlighted in the Department of National Defence’s recently released 2024 Departmental Report, is drawing sharp criticism from veterans and observers who question its relevance during active conflicts and humanitarian crises.
Pretty sure our armed forces need to be shut down and rebuilt from the ground up.

Poland Says It Would Arrest Netanyahu If He Attends the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz
In a first test case for warrants issued by a global court at Hague, Poland is announcing it would arrest Prime Minister Netanayahu of Israel if he attends the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, where an estimated 1 million Jews perished as part of the genocidal Nazi war against them.
“We are obliged to respect the provisions of the International Criminal Court,” Poland’s deputy foreign minister, Władysław Bartoszewski, who is charged with organizing the ceremony, claimed Friday, according to the Polish-language newspaper Rzeczpospolita. Dozens of world leaders are expected to attend the January 27 ceremony.
WTF?
This is so gross. So treasonous. So insulting.
So disgusting that I just can’t even. https://t.co/KCrOuRwxup

Trump, Touting Tariffs, Toys With a Tottering Trudeau
Donald Trump doesn’t think much of Justin Trudeau. The president-elect has been needling the Canadian prime minister for weeks, amusingly calling him “governor” of the “Great State of Canada.” During the June 2018 Group of Seven summit in La Malbaie, Quebec, the president called Mr. Trudeau “meek and mild” as well as “very dishonest and weak.”
With Mr. Trump’s help, Mr. Trudeau, who has flirted with political disaster for years, came close to hitting rock bottom on Monday. This was because of the stunning resignation of Chrystia Freeland as deputy prime minister and finance minister. Often dubbed the “minister of everything” because of her influence in the Liberal government, Ms. Freeland expressed her anger and frustration with the ineffectiveness of Mr. Trudeau’s response to Mr. Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on all Canadian goods.

‘Danger of ISIS resurgence has doubled’ – Syria’s Kurds warn of group’s comeback
As the new Syria struggles to take shape, old threats are re-emerging.
The chaos since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad is “paving the way” for the so-called Islamic State (IS) to make a comeback, according to a leading Kurdish commander who helped defeat the jihadist group in Syria in 2019. He says the comeback has already begun.
“Activity by Daesh [IS] has increased significantly, and the danger of a resurgence had doubled’, according to General Mazloum Abdi, commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a mainly Kurdish militia alliance backed by the US. “They now have more capabilities and more opportunities.”
Trudeau rearranges deck chairs adds 8 new MPs to cabinet, changes the roles of 4 others
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce eight new cabinet ministers Friday and change the roles of four others in a cabinet shuffle designed to ensure the government can function properly, CBC News has learned.
The shuffle comes days after former deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland resigned suddenly, spurring an emboldened movement within the Liberal caucus to push Trudeau out of the leadership.
One senior government source told CBC News the timing and size of the shuffle should not be taken as a signal that the prime minister has made up his mind about his future, adding Trudeau is still “reflecting” on his position.
