Explosive confrontation erupts on streets of Chicago as black woman accuses white man of racism for filming black man’s arrest – and says her rights are ‘different’

The arrest of a black man on a busy Chicago street sparked fury among onlookers after a black woman insisted a white man could not film it because her rights are ‘different’ to his.

The white blogger headed to the scene near North Wells Street on Wednesday afternoon after a police radio scanner tweeted about an off-duty officer being assaulted by a man in a Dodge Charger.

He pulled out his phone after finding three white officers arresting the dreadlocked driver who was not resisting, but found a different subject when a female onlooker demanded he stop filming and accused him of racism.

Why Fight? A Civilization Not Worth Dying for Is Not Worth Living for Either

Secular values are simply not enough to motivate a people to live sacrificially to perpetuate their social order.

Sigmar Gabriel, the left-wing former German foreign minister and still an influential voice in European politics, is talking very tough these days. In a recent interview with Stern, Gabriel said Germany should be willing to escalate the war with Russia over Ukraine.

“I never thought I’d have to say this: However, we’ll need to checkmate Russia again as we did during the Cold War with the Soviet Union,” Gabriel said. “Putin must grasp our resolve.”

“The clear signal should be sent to Putin: Stop this war—or we’ll target you. If that entails deploying German air defense systems, assisted by the Bundeswehr, to establish no-fly zones in Ukraine to shield Ukrainian cities from Russian attacks on the civilian population, I wouldn’t guarantee Mr. Putin that we’d never act this way.”

Danielle Kubes: It’s no wonder that young Canadian families are fleeing to Florida

The third time it happened, I started getting curious. I’d be in the grocery store or on a walk in Vaughan, my suburb just north of Toronto, and bump into an acquaintance. “Hey Danielle, we’re moving to Florida next year. My husband just can’t handle this country anymore.” One by one, millennial families with young kids seemed to be emptying out of my neighbourhood.

Chicken Land Terrorists – Anand Nath, Suliman Raza, Naqash Abbasi

Carbon tax will impact GDP by $25 billion in 2030, internal data released by Liberals shows

OTTAWA — The federal carbon tax will have a negative economic impact on Canada’s real gross domestic product (GDP) of $25 billion, or approximately one per cent, in 2030 according to the government’s own internal data it released on Thursday.

Those numbers, which were shared with the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) last month on the condition they remain confidential, were published as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was about to deliver a speech to call on the government to disclose them publicly.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says he’s more alarmed after reading unredacted intelligence report

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday he’s “more convinced than ever” that some parliamentarians are “willing participants” in foreign states’ efforts to interfere in Canadian politics after reading an unredacted version of a bombshell report from one of Canada’s intelligence oversight bodies.

But after a raucous half-hour scrum with reporters, he would not confirm whether he was referring to serving MPs who wear a turban.


Oh my. Look what Drinky May has been up to.

Coca-Cola ad denying ties to Israel sparks outrage in Bangladesh

An advertisement distancing Coca-Cola from Israel sparked a backlash in Bangladesh even as the company reeled from a public boycott over Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza.

Coca-Cola is one of several Western brands facing consumer boycotts for their alleged ties to Israel, which has been incessantly bombarding Gaza. The company had previously denied the allegations of funding military operations in Israel or any other country.

Explosion of Female Bisexuality

The media is not reporting this story.

Mainstream media outlets have highlighted (and even exulted in) the massive growth of Americans embracing a “LGBTQ+” identity in recent years. They have routinely acknowledged that this shift is heavily tilted toward teens and younger adults.

Often more muted is another observation: that by huge margins these increases have been disproportionately driven by those embracing bisexual identities. Further acknowledgment that this explosion in bisexual identity among the young has been heavily driven by females, not males, tends to be even more subdued.

Pierre Poilievre’s vision for Canada: A hellscape of everlasting torture says Star

Pierre Poilievre’s vision for Canada: Heaven for the very rich and squat for everyone else

Pierre Poilievre often calls Canada “broken,” but he rarely reveals that his dream Canada is an austere place that few Canadians would recognize or want to live in.

However, in an unscripted comment last month that received almost no media attention, the Conservative leader briefly provided us with a glimpse of the bleak vision he has for Canada.

“I’m very hesitant to spend taxpayers’ money on anything other than the core services of roads, bridges, police, military, border security and a safety net for those who can’t provide for themselves. That’s common sense. Let’s bring it home,” Poilievre told reporters during a campaign stop at a Vancouver gas station.

Because Trudeau has made Canada a paradise of course.
