Colby Cosh: Simple reasons, not Satanism, behind the King’s new all-red portrait
I must say I enjoyed last week’s social media dialogue over Jonathan Yeo’s chaotic new portrait of our King, which the 53-year-old star painter began before his subject came to the throne in September 2022. What I enjoyed especially about it is that it wasn’t easy to predict anyone’s individual reaction based on their politics.
Nearly 70% of Gaza Aid from US-Built Pier Stolen
Close to three-fourths of the humanitarian aid transported from a new $320 million floating pier built by the U.S. military off the Gaza coast was stolen on Saturday en route to a U.N. warehouse, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Eleven trucks “were cleaned out by Palestinians” on the journey to the World Food Programme warehouse in Deir El Balah in the central Strip, with only five truckloads making it to the destination.
“They’ve not seen trucks for a while,” a U.N. official told Reuters. “They just basically mounted on the trucks and helped themselves to some of the food parcels.”
Maher Embarrasses Hostin With the FACTS of Hamas’s Hatred for Jews
Comedian Bill Maher completely embarrassed the staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host of ABC’s The View, Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) on Tuesday with the facts of Hamas’s anti-Semitism while they spared over the Israel-Hamas War. Hostin repeatedly questioned if Maher cared about civilian lives, to which he left the audience stunned when he said the solution was to “stop attacking Israel.”
WARMINGTON: Trudeau, Governor General snub Queen Victoria’s birthday

How six human rights lawyers triggered a backlash by pursuing Netanyahu
The International Criminal Court was founded on the notions of impartiality and independence.
Karim Khan, its chief prosecutor, might therefore have been expected to move particularly cautiously in appointing a “panel of experts” as he weighed what action to take against Hamas and Israel over the October 7 attacks and Israel’s retaliatory bombing of Gaza. His subsequent decision to pursue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leaders, has proved explosive.

CATCH 22: McDonald’s Trapped Between Prices That Are Too High… and Too Low?
McDonald’s has a big sale coming up in June to woo back customers driven away by high prices but there’s one little catch. Or 22 of them, if we used Joseph Heller’s math. With the price of the popular Quarter Pounder meal pushing $10 in some locations — and hitting it easily if you’d like it with two sad, thin little strips of bacon — the new $5 value meal would be a welcome relief for consumers.

GUNTER: Commission staff applauded Christmas-is-racist report as job ‘well done’
The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) was apparently caught entirely off-guard last fall by public and parliamentary reaction to a paper it released claiming the Christmas holiday was inherently racist and the result of Canada’s colonial past.
I am all for deporting these garbage humans to Mauritania or Sudan or some other suitable nation.
.@CdnHumanRights Commission feared for staff “safety” after backlash over its report on #Christmas, according to Access to Information #cdnfoi.
Report denounced Christmas as racist observance “grounded in Canada’s history of colonialism.”https://t.co/tGcIKsfMVW #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/dy7TdFpA6p— Holly Doan (@hollyanndoan) May 21, 2024
