‘All for nothing’ — Israelis’ fury over Netanyahu’s ceasefire deal

The reasons not to return are clear for Rachel Amar, an evacuee from the Israeli border town of Kiryat Shmona where, only hours before Binyamin Netanyahu announced the ceasefire in Lebanon, a Hezbollah rocket hit a bus station.

Sitting in one of Tel Aviv’s finest beachfront hotels as she weighed the news of Israel’s truce and the prospect of returning home, Amar had doubts. “What are we doing here? This agreement doesn’t give us security,” she said. “We are so close [to Lebanon]. I keep imagining October 7 will happen to us — it’s a matter of luck that it didn’t.”

HANNAFORD: Call an election now!

It is time for an election.

On 20th January, the Government of Canada will go nose-to-nose with the incoming Trump administration over the president-elect’s announcement that both Canada and Mexico will face a 25% tariff on their exports to the US.

The problem is that here in Canada, and especially in Alberta, we don’t trust the leadership of the federal government to do the job.

Kamala Harris Campaign Aides Suggest Campaign Was Just Doomed

The Harris campaign’s internal polling apparently never had her ahead of Trump.

Senior advisers to Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign suggested this week that there just wasn’t much else Harris could have done to beat Donald Trump.

Harris couldn’t have distanced herself from President Joe Biden, they said, because she was loyal. She couldn’t have responded more forcefully to attacks over trans rights, because doing so would have been playing Trump’s game.

Chinese vessel ‘sabotaged’ Baltic deep sea cables and may have been under orders from Russia

Investigation focusing on whether captain of Yi Peng 3 was directed to deliberately carry out damage by Moscow

A Chinese ship is suspected of severing two critical internet cables in the Baltic Sea in an act of sabotage that may have been orchestrated by Russia.

Investigators believe that the Yi Peng 3, a Chinese-registered bulk carrier, deliberately severed the two key cables last week by dragging its anchor along the Baltic seabed for more than 100 miles.

The investigation is now focused on whether the captain of the 225-metre-long bulk carrier was directed to carry out the suspected sabotage by Moscow.

The Prosecution Of Daniel Penny Is A Soviet-Style Attack On The Right Of Self-Defense

American justice has become politicized — a weapon against enemies with hall passes for favored groups. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and dozens of big city, George Soros-funded leftist district attorneys routinely prosecute innocent citizens while letting criminals walk free.

The actions of these powerful officers of the law fit a pattern that the great Soviet-era Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn not only would have recognized, but he also detailed.

Why Mexico Will Find It Tough to Heed Trump’s Calls to Tame the Cartels

President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to slap a 25% tariff on Mexico’s goods unless it stops fentanyl trafficking and illegal migration risks setting the trade partners on a collision course over an intractable challenge for both countries.

Ahead of the new trade negotiations, Mexico’s greatest weakness has been its historic inability to confront the powerful drug gangs that control about a third of the country. Mexico has had success stopping immigration over the past year, but ending drug smuggling might be an impossible ask, in part because of strong demand in the U.S.

Fentanyl is cheap to produce and easily smuggled. In some large areas of Mexico, organized crime groups dominate local and state officials. Different attempts to fight the gangs, sometimes with U.S. support, have led to violence at home without making any dents on the drug business.

The grotesque hollowing out of womanhood

Wall of Transgender Heroines

First they came for women’s bathrooms. Then their rape shelters. Then their sports. Now they’re coming for their prizes. The BBC has announced the winner of its Women’s Footballer of the Year Award and you won’t believe who it is. Actually you will. It’s someone who once failed to meet gender-eligibility rules for the women’s game. It’s someone who was excluded from a major tournament after failing ‘gender-verification tests’. It’s someone with such elevated levels of testosterone that they were told to take hormone suppressants if they wanted to kick a ball again. Yes, the BBC’s female footballer of 2024 is someone whose femaleness has been called into question by some experts. They’re taking the piss now, aren’t they?

Non-crime hate incident recorded after neighbour played Bob Marley songs

A neighbour who blasted Bob Marley music was recorded by police as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI).

North Wales Police decided the incident was one of “racial prejudice” after a homeowner complained that the playing of the reggae artist’s tracks was a “way to mock her”.

The incident, details of which were released under Freedom of Information (FoI) laws, was one of 126 recorded by the force between June 2023 and June 2024.

The Doomed Marriage of the Far Left and Islamism

The far-left deputies of La France Insoumise have just quietly proposed a bill in the French National Assembly to repeal the offence of apology for terrorism. Today, the end of this legal offence would mainly benefit these same MPs, who give unlimited support to organisations close to Hamas and Hezbollah. To mark the occasion, Le Figaro Magazine has devoted a major investigation to revealing the many links between the French far Left and Islamism—at the crossroads of electoral opportunism and ideological conviction.
