German Foreign Ministry Officials Investigated for Issuing Illegal Entry Permits

No wonder they sing Auslander Raus.

High-ranking employees at the German Foreign Ministry have been placed under investigation on suspicion of ordering illegal entry permits for thousands of people, some of which involved forged passports from Afghanistan, Syria and other countries, a Focus Online exclusive reveals.

Public prosecutors in Berlin and the northeastern city of Cottbus claim that Interior Minister Baerbock’s employees instructed embassies abroad to allow applicants to enter Germany using either incomplete or forged documents, including passports.

Syrians, Turks, and Afghans (thousands of Afghans have already been identified for having made use of the scheme) are primarily involved, but also citizens of African countries and Pakistan.

More baleful byelections are brewing for the Trudeau Liberals after the fall of St. Paul’s

OTTAWA – The Liberals’ stunning defeat in the Toronto—St-Paul’s byelection this week could be just the beginning of a year of pain for the party: several more byelections are expected; all of them could happen before 2024 is over.

The Liberals currently hold three of the four seats, with some previously considered safe for the party. But so was Toronto—St. Paul’s, which the party held onto comfortably for 30 years until this week.

The Climate-Change Hysterics May Be Wrong, But They’re Not Sorry

By overpromising and underdelivering, the climatological community has done more reputational damage to itself than its critics ever could.

‘We cannot wait for speeches when the sea is rising around us all the time,” said Simon Kofe, the one-time foreign minister of the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu, in a 2021 address. Kofe’s warning was the kind of boilerplate climate-change catastrophism to which all save the most dedicated activists long ago became inured. It wouldn’t have made any waves if Kofe hadn’t delivered his missive standing in hip-deep water, flanked by United Nations and Tuvaluan flags, and wearing a smartly tailored suit. The theatrics made the point Kofe’s formulaic rhetoric could not.

‘Civilian’ ships could soon carry carrier-crippling drone swarms. A new age of warfare is coming

The German defence contractor Rheinmetall is pitching a new form of weapon: a standard shipping container concealing 126 separate attack drone silos. If one company is publicly discussing the idea, you can bet others are considering it too. And the implications for maritime warfare could be significant.

It’s worth noting at the top that whilst drones are anything but new, they are now unambiguously the direction of travel for militaries around the world. Everyone is investing in uncrewed systems in the air, surface and subsurface domains for tasks ranging from logistics resupply to surveillance to jamming to strike. This isn’t necessarily because they are better than the alternatives, but because they are cheaper. With most Nato defence budgets under pressure, this is important.

I had sex with Frank Stronach when I was 19. I’ve wrestled with its meaning ever since

The arrest of Frank Stronach for alleged sexual assaults spanning from the 1980s to last year brought back memories of my time at Magna International in the 1980s.

In 1985, I was among a handful of high-school students interviewed by Mr. Stronach and selected by him for a sponsorship to GMI (now Kettering University) in Flint, Mich. The university is often described as the “West Point” of the auto industry. Mary Barra, the CEO of GM, is a graduate. As a tool and die maker, Mr. Stronach was partial to the university’s approach to engineering education because it emulated the structure of an apprenticeship program. We students would toggle back and forth between Magna and school every three months, in a program designed to produce a crop of engineers with an intimate knowledge of the company and its way of doing business.

Report Says Pentagon-Funded Hunt For ‘White Supremacists’ In U.S. Military Led Nowhere

A new report said Pentagon programs to sniff out “white supremacists” in the U.S. military came up empty-handed and were even counterproductive to military readiness and morale.

A zealous diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bureaucracy has been established in the military and service academies, more recently “through mandated executive orders in the 2010s and 2020s,” the report, produced by the Arizona State University’s (ASU) Center for American Institutions, said. It also revealed that the efforts to “search for ‘violent extremists’ in the military,” have yielded rare and infrequent results.

Dems freak out over Biden’s debate performance: ‘Biden is toast’

President Joe Biden opened the debate with a raspy voice and disjointed, rambling answers, reigniting Democratic concerns about his age and ability to take on former President Donald Trump.

Many of the president’s answers were hard to follow. At one point, seemingly losing his train of thought, Biden said “we finally beat Medicare,” misspeaking about his own policy on earned benefits.

In text messages with POLITICO, Democrats expressed confusion and concern as they watched the first minutes of the event. One former Biden White House and campaign aide called it “terrible,” adding that they have had to ask themselves over and over “What did he just say? This is crazy.”

It’s elder abuse, Joe looks like a handicapped person being talked to as if a baby … Jill is a bitch

Ha!

San Francisco man gets ticket from city to clean up the mess the smash-and-grab robbers made of his shop

Leftists have always been loud and ostentatious about how they’re all about compassion.

So residents of San Francisco, living in a blue city with few cops and little law enforcement, could probably be forgiven for thinking that as crime victims, they could count on at least some compassion after another round of violent crimes.

Don’t be silly. In San Francisco, victims of major crimes get tickets.

Carson Jerema: It isn’t just Trudeau, the whole Liberal government is rotten

Following the Liberals’ embarrassing defeat in Toronto—St. Paul’s, Canadian politics has been consumed with a single question: should the party dump the wildly unpopular prime minister in favour of a leader who has a hope in a Winnipeg winter of holding onto government?

For Liberals and their supporters, who imagine the Conservatives are barbarians at the gates ready to smash civilization to pieces, it’s easy to see why that option could be alluring. Whatever the fortunes of the Liberal party generally, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is particularly reviled. So, it would seem some partisans believe, the public would snap out of its dalliances with Pierre Poilievre’s Tories and embrace a new leader if only it were presented with one.

Why nearly half of EV owners want to switch back to gas vehicles after major buyer’s remorse

Electric vehicles (EV) may benefit the environment, but thousands of owners have expressed their regret over their car purchase.

A McKinsey Mobility Consumer Pulse presentation released in June 2024 by McKinsey & Company indicated that 46 percent of EV owners in the US are ‘very’ likely to switch back to gas-powered vehicles.

The data is based on responses from nearly 37,000 participants who own EVs, but the US results are what surprised the company that conducted the study.

The Devastating Charge Sheet Against Pfizer

“We’ve extracted the main points from the Kansas City Attorney General’s legal report on the case against Pfizer that we first mentioned in ‘Due Process‘ — all quotes are taken verbatim.

This is a lengthy post, and we’d recommend having an anger management strategy to hand while reading. If you are making a comment, use the numbering to highlight which points you are referring to, and do let us know if we’ve missed anything. “

‘Canada’s sanctions give support to terrorism and Hamas’

Yesha Council chairman and Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz condemned the Canadian government’s decision to impose additional sanctions on individuals and entities in Judea and Samaria.

“In a scandalous decision, Canada chooses to give support to terrorism and to Hamas, which seeks to continue slaughtering Jews and the elimination of the State of Israel,” Ganz said.

Dumping Trudeau won’t save the Liberals

Toronto-St. Paul’s isn’t really “one of the safest Liberal ridings in the country.” Safe it certainly is, having voted Liberal in every election since 1993. But 19 other ridings are as safe or safer by that measure.

Vancouver Quadra has been electing Liberals since 1984. The Toronto riding of Humber River-Black Creek, the former York West, last elected a candidate from another party in 1958. Mount Royal, on the Island of Montreal, has been solidly Liberal since 1940. Ottawa Vanier has been a Liberal riding since its creation, in 1935; in its former incarnation as Russell, since 1887.
