Polish officials believe surge in arrivals through Belarus is the latest tactic in Russia’s hybrid war with the West
The attack came shortly before dawn.
Dozens of illegal migrants on the Belarusian side of the border with Poland hurled a volley of makeshift spears at Polish border guards through the five-metre-high steel fence.
Some fell short of their targets and as the security forces picked them up they saw what appeared to be a tree branch with a steel blade taped to the top.
Liberal-appointed Sen. Rosa Galvez, senate’s leading opponent of fossil fuels, in the past year jetted more than 100,000 kilometres to climate conferences from Casablanca to Mumbai.
Records obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter show Galvez called climate change “the greatest challenge of our time.”
For Americans, the good news from the NATO summit in Washington, D.C. is that President Joe Biden managed to read a stirring speech from a teleprompter without too much stammering or gargling noises. While the threat of Donald Trump’s return to the White House looms darkly over the 75-year-old transatlantic alliance — Trump isn’t NATO’s biggest fan — for the moment, at least, the United States is NATO’s bedrock power. That’s all to the good.
To repeat my theme from a couple of weeks ago, I am less concerned about Biden’s increasing incapacity as it relates to the election than I am as it relates to America’s current, urgent need for a president who can function as such. Do I want Kamala Harris to be president of the United States? No, but we have to have a president. Our constitutional system and national security require it. Harris is the elected vice president and she is first in line if the president is incapable of being president all day every day.
The war on meat is in full swing as far-left environmental groups engage in a coordinated effort to smear proponents of sustainable livestock as industry bogeymen seduced by corporate greed.
In October 2022, a coalition of over 1,000 scientists signed a declaration stressing that the optimal nutrition delivered by a meat-based diet was vital in alleviating world hunger.
Female choice is the greatest force in nature. It can make or destroy species – and civilisations.
We live in a period in which the consequences of female choice-making are more significant than they have ever been. This is because it has now become possible for women to choose, to a greater extent than ever before conceivable, whether to have children at all, how many, and with whom – from a potentially almost limitless array of potential partners. Nobody should (I hope it goes without saying) advocate for a moment returning to a time when they were not so free to choose. But we have not yet even begun to reckon with the consequences of this – in historical terms – extraordinary development.
Suffice to say, all is not well for the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry these days. Despite ample subsidies from the federal government, EV sales are slumping.
Some of the largest automakers, such as Mercedes Benz, admit they won’t come close to hitting their EV sales estimates over the next few years. And Tesla, the king of EVs, just announced its lowest quarterly profit over the past two years. After the Tesla news broke, the company’s shares cratered, leading to a $138 billion decline in value.
The rise of the Reichsbürgers tells an alarming tale
“The socks and cars wouldn’t stink / Every morning, champagne I’d drink / I’d be slicker than Schmidt, and fatter than Strauß / And my records would sell out!” In 1987, West Berlin punk singer Rio Reiser sang these words about becoming king of Germany. A lark and a way to mock the stuffy leaders of the Federal Republic at the time.
As Joe Biden struggles to contain the fallout from his poor debate performance, a gulf is widening between how the president’s most inner circle and the rest of the Democratic Party — including some in his campaign and White House — view his political viability.
Even as he worked to reassure nervous lawmakers and donors this week while playing host to world leaders at NATO’s annual summit, Biden faced mounting pressure over his candidacy from a growing group of Democratic lawmakers and prominent donors urging him to drop out or consider doing so.

Biden’s Fundraising Currently Rated ‘Disastrous’
As we’ve discussed here previously, one of the most instructive indicators of how a political campaign is doing is found in their fundraising numbers. Those are even more indicative than polling numbers. People don’t like flushing their money into something they see as a lost cause and they don’t seek to purchase influence from someone who probably won’t be in a position to do anything for them. Using that rule of thumb, the outlook is far from brilliant for Team Biden at the moment.
Thirty-five years after “save a logger, eat an owl” could be seen across the Pacific Northwest, the government environmentalists at US Fish and Wildlife want to kill half a million owls…to save the owls.
In a world of transgender surgeries, terrorist cryptocurrencies, and senile presidents, the Owl Wars that entered the 1990 presidential election seem implausible. But they cost tens of thousands of jobs, wiped out sizable amounts of the logging industry in the Pacific Northwest, and helped solidify Oregon and Washington as hipster strongholds no Republican could win.
After the German Bild reported that the Foreign Ministry sent a letter to the UN Relief and Works Agency, logging details of employees who are also terrorist operatives – i24NEWS obtained part of the letter.
The names, passport numbers, and military identification numbers of 108 UNRWA workers who moonlight as Hamas terrorists are included in the letter, addressed to Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini.

A total of 54% of Canadians want the federal government to cut spending instead of hiking capital gains taxes to reduce the deficit, according to a poll conducted by Leger on behalf of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).
CTF Federal Director Franco Terrazzano said the poll results are clear that the majority of Canadians want the federal government to cut spending instead of hiking capital gains taxes.
While the debate around the future of U.S. President Joe Biden remains a vigorous one, similar noises about the efficacy of Justin Trudeau leading the federal Liberals into the next election have quieted down.
This likely has less to do with people in the Liberal Party having changed their minds about Mr. Trudeau’s chances in the next national vote, and more to do with the realization there is almost nothing that can be done to force the man out of the job if he refuses to go.
IGNACE, ONTARIO — A northwestern Ontario town has formally decided it is willing to become the site of a deep geological repository for Canada’s nuclear waste.
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization plans to select a site this year where millions of bundles of used nuclear fuel will be placed in a network of underground rooms connected by cavernous tunnels.
