I’ve just discovered a whole bunch of online posts and institutional releases insisting that it’s unlikely someone will die from second-hand fentanyl smoke and that such smoke isn’t really that big of a deal.
It’s incredible, really. First, that there are enough people being exposed to fentanyl smoke as they go about their lives that they’re now seeking information on it. Second, that those who want an increasingly lax approach to drug culture are trying to tell people that this is no biggie.
WESTWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Police responded to UCLA early Wednesday morning after violent clashes erupted between competing protest groups at a pro-Palestinian encampment on the campus.
People were beaten and hit with sticks as the clashes between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters went on for roughly three hours before police intervened. At times, protesters would use barricades as weapons.
100+ Californian Jews and their allies have arrived at the “Liberated Zone” on the UCLA campus and are tearing it down.
It comes after the pro-Hamas students and activists beat a Jewish girl unconscious on campus grounds a few hours earlier. pic.twitter.com/dlNKQvg2wf

UCLA – Both sides are now violently brawling. People are bleeding. When someone goes down, their friends drag him away, & replace him w a fresh fighter.
No police to be found. pic.twitter.com/l3w9ipOLXA

UCLA 🚨: FIGHTS continue through the night. Dozens injured , multiple bleeding, still ZERO law enforcement present. Both sides drag their wounded and fresh protestors replace them on the front. Total Anarchy. pic.twitter.com/Fl6T35zJRc

200+ pro-Israel counterprotestors are attacking the @UCLA pro-Palestinian encampment. They started beating on one student and stomped another under a plywood board per @latimes @safinazzal on the scene. Where is UCLA security? pic.twitter.com/zjYNFWSK7r

The 3-hour beat down at UCLA was both surprising and inevitable. The reality is that you can only provoke and antagonize people (even a peaceful people) for so long before they decide enough is enough.pic.twitter.com/gJtjakfP8p

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three people were stabbed at a school in Sheffield.
Officers responding to reports of an incident involving a sharp object at The Birley Academy at around 8.50am, South Yorkshire Police said.
Two adults suffered minor injuries while a child was also checked over after being assaulted.
One of the biggest government initiatives to encourage manufacturers to decarbonize is failing to attract the largest emitters, says Ottawa’s environmental watchdog.
The government’s $8 billion program, intended to help the largest-emitting manufacturing industries reduce their emissions, has failed to entice them, says a report released Tuesday morning by Jerry DeMarco, the federal commissioner of environment and sustainable development.
Of Canada’s top 55 emitters, only two have signed contribution agreements so far with the federal government under its Net Zero Accelerator initiative, the report says. About a dozen other large emitters applied for the initiative but the federal government has not yet signed agreements with them.
Ukraine’s Azov Brigade, which held out against the invading Russians for three months in 2022, has moved on from its far-right origins, its men say
The elite Ukrainian unit that spearheaded the defence of Mariupol against Russian forces has been excluded from the United States’ latest military aid package because of its historical links to right-wing extremists.
Azov Regiment fighters held out against overwhelming odds for three months in 2022. Their ferocious defence of the southern port city, culminating in a last stand at the Azovstal steelworks, came to symbolise Ukraine’s determination to resist the Russian invasion.
Brock University has launched a review after a professor praised Hamas’s October 7 atrocities against Israeli civilians, compared the Jewish state to Nazi Germany, and cited antisemitic conspiracy theories in a series of blog posts.
Tamari Kitossa, a decolonization and anti-racism scholar at Brock University, where he heads the critical sociology department, wrote a four-part series written following the Hamas atrocities, which Kitossa describes as “miraculous.” He argues that Zionism and Nazism are one and the same.
A Second World War tour guide has criticised a cafe overlooking Normandy’s Omaha beach, claiming it declined to serve a group of visiting British soldiers “because they are English”.
Creperie la Falaise, in Vierville-sur-Mer, sits near the famed coastline stormed by Allied troops on D-Day as they battled to liberate France from Nazi occupation.
With the landmark 80th anniversary of D-Day just weeks away, and despite local businesses being reliant on foreign visitors, battlefield guide Eugenie Brooks said the soldiers she took to the eatery were refused service.
I have read that allied soldiers preferred the Germans to the French.
Even for medical practitioners who are pro-abortion, this is a dangerous precedent to set—first they came for Dr. Terence Davids, tomorrow they’ll come for you. (A Martin Niemöller poetic iteration, if you will.)
Edmonton police have issued Canada-wide warrants for a 19-year-old man accused of three drive-by shootings believed to be connected to an ongoing extortion series.
I feel so enriched.
I have argued that former president Donald Trump’s prosecution in the so-called hush-money case brought by Manhattan’s elected progressive Democratic district attorney Alvin Bragg is offensive in various ways.
Bragg, an election denier, is trying to convict Trump of a crime that is not charged in the indictment — to wit, conspiracy to steal the 2016 election by suppressing negative information in violation of federal campaign law. This violates the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which requires a felony charge to be spelled out in an indictment whose criminal elements have been established by probable cause to the satisfaction of a grand jury. Here, the problem is not just that there is no indication the grand jury was presented with an election-theft conspiracy offense; there is no such conspiracy crime in New York penal law. As a state prosecutor, moreover, Bragg has no jurisdiction to enforce federal law — as to which Congress vested “exclusive” criminal- and civil-enforcement authority, respectively, in the Justice Department and the Federal Election Commission.
For the past three years, the corporate press and numerous officials in the Biden White House have asserted there is no evidence widespread voter fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election. Some have even gone so far as to call it the “most secure” election in U.S. history.
However, a poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports — a survey I wrote with a team of experts at the Heartland Institute and discussed last week on Tucker Carlson’s show — not only calls into question that often-repeated claim, it shows the opposite could have been true. According to its findings, voter fraud, especially fraud related to mail-in ballots, may have been common in the 2020 election. This conclusion isn’t based on questionable allegations but on voters’ own responses to the poll questions.
Amateur archaeologists have unearthed five human skeletons missing their hands and feet under the former home of the Nazi war criminal Hermann Göring at Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair military headquarters in present-day Poland.
The remains, believed to be that of a family, were discovered as part of a dig at the site near the north-eastern town of Kętrzyn, where Nazi leaders spent large stretches of the second world war.
Mystery surrounds the chilling find, first reported by Der Spiegel, including the identity of the victims, the circumstances of their burial, and whether the Reichsmarschall knew the bones were there while he lived in the house.
Who can forget President Joe Biden standing on a podium outside Independence Hall in September 2022?
With ominous red lights glaring in the background, the president of the United States demonized approximately half the voters in the country and labeled them as a threat to democracy. He warned of MAGA Republicans and the dangers they represented. He criticized them, vilified them, and branded them as a dangerous evil to this country. He warned they would seek to cause harm and oppress. He couldn’t have been further from the truth.
At 92 years old, Dan ‘Kenneth’ Rather returned to the scene of the crime, or rather a CBS morning show, to promote a Netflix documentary that explains how he was able to send a laptop running a copy of Microsoft Word back to the Vietnam War era in order to prove that George W. Bush dodged the draft.
TV comedy just isn’t funny anymore. That’s the verdict of Jerry Seinfeld, stand-up comedy legend and star of Seinfeld, one of the biggest sitcoms of all time.
In an interview with the New Yorker at the weekend, he said:
‘It used to be, you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, “Oh, Cheers is on. Oh, M*A*S*H is on. Oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on. All in the Family is on.” You just expected, there’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight. Well, guess what – where is it?’
