Raygun’s breakdancing coach and husband goes viral for his own underwhelming routines

Australian Olympics breakdancer Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn’s husband is now the talk of the internet over footage of his own questionable moves.

Samuel Free, who also coaches Raygun, performs under the name Sammy The Free as a fellow breakdancer.

His wife failed to poll a single point across three ‘battles’ during the Paris Olympics and was widely panned for her routine and uniform.


A good reason not to confirm “breakdancing” as an Olympic sport.

Katherine Brodsky: The ‘good Jews’ trotted out to bash Israel

Within any group of people, there are large disagreements. Jews are certainly no different, having probably as many opinions on the goings-on in the Middle East as there are Jewish people. Even those who support Israel are on a spectrum, with some being more critical of Israeli actions and policies, and others being more supportive.

We’re all entitled to our own perspectives (though not facts). That means that those Jews who aren’t supportive of Israeli actions are certainly entitled to a voice — as individuals.

You can tell it’s a working-class election by Harris and Walz’s dishonesty and lies

The stealing class has figured out that it’s a working-class election.

You can tell by what they pilfer.

By “stealing class,” I mean the Harris-Walz campaign in particular, and the party of big government in general.

They exist, and flourish, not by creating new wealth and ideas, but by stealing the produce of others.

Michael Higgins: Don’t believe Trudeau when he says he wants to celebrate Canada

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to be suffering from cognitive dissonance as he assumed the role of cheerleader-in-chief on Monday at an investment announcement in Ontario.

Canadians need to do a better job of cheering for the country and its achievements, he said in a high-energy, effusive, almost breathless speech.

Trudeau upset Poilievre casts doubt on Liberal’s dubious EV gamble

Trudeau calls Poilievre’s stance on Chinese EV tariffs ‘baloney’

Prime Minster Justin Trudeau took aim at federal Conservatives on Monday, accusing leader Pierre Poilievre of not supporting investments in the electric vehicle sector.

Trudeau was attending a funding announcement at Goodyear’s tire plant in Napanee, Ont. Goodyear Canada announced it is investing $575 million to expand and modernize the plant with the goal of making it net-zero in less than two decades. The federal government is contributing $44.3 million, while Ontario’s government is kicking in another $20 million.

Trudeau said the plant’s increased capacity will include tires made specifically for electric vehicles.

Britain is being pushed to the brink by official neglect of the white underclass

One of my earliest childhood memories is of walking through Lower Gornal, then a white working-class village in the Black Country, counting the “pretty” front gardens in between the “yucky” ones on the way to my grandparents’ house. This was back in the 1990s – long after the nearby steelworks had closed – and the defiant immaculacy of such neighbourhoods was starting to fray.

There were still enough homes with hanging baskets of shocking pink pansies, theatrical stagings of garden gnomes and hopefully high hedges to make the counting game worthwhile – though the number of houses with closed curtains, cordoned off with chicken wire, was considerable. At one point, I passed a teenage girl rocking the pram of a baby I assumed was her younger brother or sister. I nodded and was delighted when I got a half-smile back. My grandma – of poor but proud background – called them “wrong-uns”.

Diane Francis: Trudeau dropped the ball on national security

The Trudeau government has neglected the country’s military, but its immigration policies, and student visa system, represent another serious security lapse.

“As we have all observed, our current government has not been heeding national security advice and has not been vigilant on these issues over the past nine years,” said former Conservative immigration minister Chris Alexander, in an interview with blogger Brad Salzberg.
