Ukraine’s tech hub creates drones that kill as a ‘swarm’

In an office block with no door numbers or names, Serhii Krupiienko slams his green, “military-grade” laptop on to the floor to prove its resilience. He hands it to me: “Have a go!” he urges with a grin. “It’s really fun. Throw it!”

This 39-year-old father of three has reason to be cheerful. He believes his start-up military technology (mil-tech) company is on the verge of a breakthrough that could give Ukraine an edge in its David and Goliath-like war with Russia.

The Liberals are hustling to stop a ‘seismic shift’ in one of their safest seats

OTTAWA — Even as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has watched his Liberal party’s poll numbers dive deeper and deeper into the abyss over the last year, he has managed to hold his ground in the House of Commons.

That could change on Monday.


Elect the permanent political class.

The Media’s Gaslighting on Biden’s Decline Is This Election’s Laptop Cover-Up

Joe Biden – He ain’t in charge of anything except Window Licking

Major media are aiming to repeat their performance from the 2020 presidential election, back when they endeavored to deny, dismiss, and denounce a story that could have damaged the Democratic presidential nominee.

In that election cycle, the press reflexively rallied behind a theory that the contents of the infamous Hunter Biden laptop were “Russian disinformation,” a Kremlin plot to throw the election in the GOP’s favor. Some went as far as to suggest that the laptop itself was fake (or stolen or didn’t belong to Hunter). Under the flimsy pretense of combating Russian interference, major media engaged in an industry-wide conspiracy to censor and reject the story.

The laptop is real. It appeared as evidence against Hunter Biden in his gun-felony case.

Snopes has finally gotten around to debunking the ‘very fine people’ hoax

In 1994, practically at the dawn of the internet, Snopes was a fun site that saw two married socialists debunk pervasive urban legends about razors in Halloween candy and hooked hands stuck to car door handles. During the Obama years, it turned into a Democrat mouthpiece that masqueraded as a fact-checking site. That Democrat fealty explains why it’s taken the site seven years to debunk the “very fine people” hoax that painted Trump as a white supremacist and that Joe Biden used to open his 2020 campaign.

Islamists are no different than Hitler, ‘Telegraph’ op-ed argues

“In almost every abandoned house, an Arabic copy of Mein Kampf,” wrote Jake Wallis Simons in a Telegraph op-ed, arguing that the accusations of genocide against Israel in Gaza were unfounded and driven by misinformation. He stated, “Every aspect has been either disproven or cast into irretrievable doubt.”

Simons, the editor-in-chief of The Jewish Chronicle, highlighted that the Al-Ahli hospital bombing was not by Israel but by Islamic Jihad, and the casualty figures were exaggerated. “The combatant-to-civilian casualty ratio now likely stands at about 1:1, a historically low figure,” he noted. He also pointed out that the UN had downgraded the number of women and children casualties.

Why it’s too late to stop World War 3

Imagine, for a moment, that the Iranian government ann­ounces it has developed a nuc­lear bomb and threatens to use it on Israel. The United States reacts with the threat of military intervention, as it did in 1991 and 2003 in Iraq. Iran signals that it will not tolerate a third Gulf war and looks for allies. American forces mass to enter Iran, which orders national mobilisation. Russia, China and North Korea express their support for Iran, and Washington expands its intervention force, bringing in a British contingent. Russia enters the game, raising the stakes in the expectation that the West will back down. A nuclear standoff follows, but with tense and itchy fingers on both sides, as leaders gamble on the risk of not striking first, it all ends in disaster. The Third World War begins with an exchange of nuclear fire, and the rest, as they say, is history.

The Venezuelafication of American streets

Moped crime in the Land of the Free

My grandma loves to joke about how she got a tooth knocked out by a motorizado (biker) in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas. “¡Dame el aro!” (Gimme the hoop!) exclaimed what looked like an off-duty bodyguard. “My hoop? What the hell?” Grandma thought to herself, before realizing the man was talking about her wedding ring.

“I never wear it when we go to church; I must’ve forgotten that day,” she tells us, in what feels like a skit. “I don’t know what got into me, but after the man pointed at his pocket and said he had a revolver, I said, ‘I have one too!’”

Harvard Study Claims There Is ‘Historic Precedent’ for Paying Slavery Reparations

No good radical-left public policy proposal can gain any traction with radical-left lawmakers without a radical-left academic study to back it up.

Harvard professors Linda J. Bilmes and Cornell William Brooks have published a study in the “Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences” titled “Normalizing Reparations: U.S. Precedent, Norms, and Models for Compensating Harms and Implications for Reparations to Black Americans.” That the radical-left professors say it is necessary to “normalize” reparations suggests that reparations are not “normal” and shouldn’t be attempted. This is especially true when you consider that the very word “normal” doesn’t exist in the usual academic lexicon.

The Myth of the European “Far-Right Surge”

There has been much talk of a “far-right surge” in the European Parliament. For example, BBC ran a headline, “Far right eyes Europe vote surge…,” shortly before the elections. On June 5th, Politico reported, “As the far right surges, this week’s European Parliament election will reorder the Continent’s political landscape.” One of CNN’s post-election headlines ran, “Far right surges in European Parliament elections but center still holds.” These sorts of headlines may make for exciting reading, but they reveal a profound lack of understanding of what is really going on politically in Europe.

Trans-identified male awarded $35,000 by Ontario court after women’s salon refused to wax ‘her’ balls

A Canadian court awarded a trans-indetified male, who claims to be a woman, $35,000 after an Ontario women’s salon refused to wax “her” male genitalia. The salon employee working that day was a devout Muslim woman who refrained from physical contact with men, and the salon owner told the trans woman that they could not find a way to accommodate her request.
