A Muslim man abuses a woman based on "verses". He holds a chord wrapped around her head as if she is a dog on a lead. He then pours water on her head.

Bus service to help Jewish Londoners feel safe
The mayor of London has launched a trial bus route in north London to help Jewish Londoners feel “safe when they travel”.
The 310 bus runs every 20 minutes between Stamford Hill in Hackney and Golders Green in Barnet.
It was launched in response to longstanding requests from the Jewish community for a service connecting the neighbourhoods, the mayor’s office said.

TORONTO—Canada is closing its doors to more visitors and temporary residents by approving fewer visas and turning away more people who reach its borders with official documents, according to government data obtained by Reuters.
The spike in rejections of foreign travellers comes as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, trailing in polls ahead of an election expected next year, tries to lower the numbers of temporary residents—and possibly permanent immigrants. Migrants have been blamed for the shortage and high prices of housing.
All of a sudden they can stop the flood? Did Trudeau suddenly remember we had a border patrol? What a miracle.
Net zero rules and a lack of consumer incentives to buy EVs risk pushing the market to failure
When the Government announced laws forcing carmakers to sell more electric vehicles (EVs), ministers hailed it as a triumph that would put Britain at the vanguard of the clean energy transition.
Eight months later, however, and there are fears these ambitions are making hard contact with reality.
The zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, which came into force in January, requires 22pc of new cars sold in the UK to be electric in 2024, rising annually to 80pc by 2030.
For the last 10 years, Amélie Brack’s property-management company had no trouble renting out both halves of a duplex near St. Lawrence College in Kingston, one of Canada’s most notable student-dominated cities renowned for its high proportion of out-of-town students, with both St. Lawrence and Queen’s University in the area.
This year, it’s still not rented out as the fall school term is about to start – a first for her. It’s not the only unit going empty, after demand for student housing in Kingston drastically fell in the past few months.
It’s a mystery.
It now appears likely that Canada and the United States are having a so-called soft landing and will avoid a recession, and that the worst of inflation is over and is coming down to manageable proportions. However, it should be remembered that the management of the COVID pandemic produced a profound recession—replete with immeasurable psychological damage, economic dislocation to many, and deterioration in education standards—that produced an unnecessary recession. This was a generous gift to the People’s Republic of China which exported the COVID pandemic and greatly profited from it, despite the extreme severity with which Beijing repressed the pandemic within its own borders. And while it is true that the rate of inflation has now been very substantially reduced, it is also true that there was no excuse for the rate of inflation to have jumped as it did in the last five years.
Think there are real consequences associated with kidnapping and murdering U.S. citizens? Think again.
Perhaps the most affecting moment of the Democratic Party’s nominating convention was the speech given by the parents of Hamas hostage and U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
The 23-year-old captive’s parents showed all the anguish and anxiety that would befall anyone in their unendurable position. With wavering voices, they recounted Hersh’s story. An attendee of the Nova music festival, he was featured in one of the grizzly videos Hamas terrorists took of their demonic works, being dragged off into Gaza after part of his left arm had been blown off by a hand grenade — a wound he suffered while attempting to save his friends from a similar fate. As television cameras at the DNC wheeled around to the audience, attendees could be seen brushing away tears. Democrats felt every ounce of their pain. Together with Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the attendees resolved to “bring them home.”
I have never had the sense that the Biden admin wished to acknowledge that American citizens were among the hostages as if to do so would mean commitment by default to the Israeli side.
In what has become a rare circumstance in recent years, managers of the Texas power grid at the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) just successfully endured a summer during which they were not forced to issue conservation warnings or resort to other extraordinary measures to preserve grid integrity on a single day. This uneventful summer was achieved despite the setting of new record power demand on several days in August. Texas has learned its lessons.
A gendarme was killed in France on Monday evening when a driver ran him over at a routine roadside checkpoint in Provence.
The driver of the BMW was an intoxicated 39-year-old from Cape Verde who during his time in France has racked up a lengthy criminal record including ten convictions, two for drunk driving.
On Wednesday the wife of 54-year-old Éric Comyn paid tribute to him at a service attended by local dignitaries and members of the gendarmerie. She described a devoted father of two teenage children, who was soon to retire after 30 years’ service.
Labour’s recent victory in the general election was hardly welcomed by the public. After all, they received fewer votes than Jeremy Corbyn’s failed campaign in 2019. Keir Starmer’s victory was only secured because Reform ate into large swathes of the Tory base, a reality that also redounded to the benefit of the Liberal Democrats. Nigel Farage’s rise to Parliament, with the capture of the Clacton constituency, is to be celebrated as a step in the right direction, but at the same time we should not ignore the monumental problems that a Labour government will now face.
It’s not often that German regional elections capture the world’s attention, but establishment parties all across the West have good reason to be terrified by Sunday’s results. In the east German states of Thuringia and Saxony, the three ruling parties – the Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and Liberals – came under assault from both ends of the political spectrum. The right-populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) scored an historic victory in Thuringia, winning its first-ever state election. Just as striking was the success of another consciously populist party, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), which emerged from the rubble of the German left.
She preaches old school leftism. Pro-worker, anti-open borders/mass immigration and an avoidance of foreign entanglements.
The 2023 Nashville school shooter responsible for the deaths of half a dozen Christians expressed disdain for Christianity and her parents’ biblical beliefs, according to a copy of her long-hidden manifesto released on Tuesday.
Obtained and published by The Tennessee Star, the 90-page journal documents the mental breakdown of Audrey Hale leading up to her attack on The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, in March 2023. Hale, who identified as a male, killed six people during her rampage, including three small children.
When a lone beluga whale began rubbing up against Norwegian fishing boats in April 2019, a few alarm bells should have started ringing – not just for conservationists, but also among the suits on the top floor at the headquarters of the Norwegian Intelligence Service in Lutvann.
First, the whale didn’t seem to have a pod. Toothed whales (which include beluga, dolphins and orca among other species) are not naturally solitary. They don’t roam the high seas alone. They are pack animals – social mammals that move in pods and can sense how another member of their group is feeling (not just physically, but emotionally) through echolocation. Spot one alone and that should be your first indication that something is up. Second, pod or not, he was a good deal further south of the high arctic than he should have been. Third, he appeared to be wearing a harness, which was causing him some distress – enough that he seemed to be approaching boats which would ordinarily scare belugas (white whales have a bloody history of being hunted) to try to get the harness off.
Establishment Democrats remain concerned about preventing former President Donald Trump from completing the greatest political comeback in modern American history — even after President Joe Biden stepped aside for Vice President Kamala Harris.
The concern spotlights Harris’s lack of a post-convention bump and the September 10 presidential debate, which will force Harris to speak about her radical record and how she plans to address the nation’s decline.
This is a very quiet election, I do not sense genuine enthusiasm for Kamala only media manufactured slop.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s weekend appointment of two Liberal Party donors as Alberta senators was denounced by the Government of Alberta.
It marks the 35th anniversary of Alberta holding Canada’s first Senate election, according to Blacklock’s Reporter. Premier Danielle Smith said Trudeau’s administration “blatantly disregarded” Alberta’s interests.
