Trump assails Jewish voters who back Biden: ‘Should have their head examined’

ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out at Jewish voters who back President Joe Biden and framed this year’s election as a referendum on the strength of Christianity in the U.S., part of his sharp-edged continuing appeal to evangelical conservatives who are a critical element of his political base.

Speaking in Atlanta ahead of a fundraiser, the presumptive Republican nominee renewed his running criticism of Biden’s reaction to the Israel-Hamas war and the administration’s support for the rights of LGBTQ Americans, including transgender persons.

“Biden has totally lost control of the Israel situation,” said Trump, whose rise in 2016 depended heavily on white Christian conservatives. “Any Jewish person who votes for a Democrat or votes for Biden should have their head examined.”

He’s right.

‘It’s just an overall explosion in homelessness’: Encampment numbers in Toronto have more than doubled over last March

It was the tents at Rowntree Mills Park that caught the eye of veteran Toronto outreach worker Diana Chan McNally. She’d never seen an encampment here, by the banks of the Humber River north of Finch.

Yet, as of mid-March, at least three tents were erected in this riverside greenspace, deep in northwest Toronto. To Chan McNally, it’s yet another symptom of a ballooning crisis — as city data shows the number of tents in ravines, parks and under bridges is more than double last spring’s count.

Where workers counted 82 tents or other makeshift structures set up citywide on March 15, 2023, that shot up to 202 on the same date this year — edging closer to the 291-tent count seen in the mid-pandemic spring of 2021.

Given the amount of money that Toronto sucks in there should be no homeless beyond those who refuse shelter. 

But homeless camps serve a greater purpose as a fundraising tool used to plead for ever more taxes that end up diverted to pet projects.

I am also beginning to suspect that they are used for block busting purposely allowed to fester in order to degrade real estate values for the profit of waiting vultures.

Afghan sex offender avoids deportation over risk of ‘mob violence’

An Afghan sex offender avoided deportation after lawyers claimed his treatment of women would put him at risk of “mob violence” in his home country.

The 31-year-old asylum seeker was jailed for 12 weeks for “outraging public decency and exposure” and was placed on the sex offenders’ register for seven years.

However, the Afghan was awarded refugee status and avoided deportation after claiming it was a breach of his human rights to deny him asylum in the UK.

Toronto Police Union Says Mayor Should Back Cops as Councillors Criticize Officers at Pro-Palestine Protests

The Toronto Police Association has accused Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow of not backing officers after city councillors questioned the conduct of police who clashed with pro-Palestine demonstrators at a protest.

“We are at a loss for words when our own mayor refuses to stand by our members who have gone beyond the call of duty to police over 500 protests over the last 6 months,” the association said in an April 9 statement.

The association, which represents approximately 8,000 uniform and civilian members of the Toronto Police Service, added it had not spoken with Ms. Chow directly despite an April 5 promise that she would call. “She continues to be silent on the treatment of our members,” it said.

Germany: Violent Crime Climbs to Historic Highs

Under Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, who during her tenure has encouraged mass illegal migration, undermined the meaning of citizenship, and persecuted civil servants opposing her agenda, Germany in 2023 saw violent crime soar to historic highs and the proportion of foreign criminal suspects rise sharply.

Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office’s (BKA) annual crime statistics report, presented by Interior Minister Faeser (SPD) on Tuesday, provoked strong reactions across the country after it revealed that violent crime climbed to its highest level since 2009 and the number of foreign suspects of violent crimes increased by 14.4% compared to 2022, Junge Freiheit reported.

John Ivison: Liberals have a chance to reverse their fiscal doom spiral. Expect them to pass

The budgeting process in the past was a foreign country; they did things differently back then.

In my memory at least, Canada’s Department of Finance pushed back against Liberal and Conservative governments. And if budgets produced surprises, they were generally on the positive side: more revenue or lower expenses than had been laid down in what was considered a hallowed tablet of stone.

No longer. A presentation on the upcoming budget by the Business Council of Canada included a table that showed the various spending projections that appeared in Budget 2022, the fall economic statement of 2022 and the fall economic statement of 2023.

Hamas says it does not have 40 Israeli hostages to trade in cease-fire deal

Hamas has told negotiators it does not have 40 Israeli hostages that it can release as part of a temporary cease-fire deal with Israel, a source familiar with the talks confirmed to The Hill.

The admission raises questions over how many of the remaining hostages kidnapped Oct. 7 are alive and who is holding them. Israel says 133 hostages out of more than 240 abducted that day — mostly Israelis and dual nationals — have yet to be released.

Then roll into Rafeh without a concern for what old Joe and the rest of ’em think.

Trade of safe-supply drugs detailed in Prince George RCMP warrant

RCMP in the northern B.C. city of Prince George spent 10 days last month mounting a surveillance operation on a woman who allegedly stood outside a downtown pharmacy each morning trading illicit drugs for safe supply medication.

According to a search warrant obtained by CBC, police saw the 58-year-old suspect make dozens of “hand-to-hand” transactions in that time — both buying and selling prescribed pills worth up to $20 a tablet on the street.

Didn’t the RCMP say this was a minor problem?

Ontario students given ‘I Enjoy Being a Dyke’ T-shirts at event

A 12-year-old student in Ontario was given a T-shirt with the caption, “I Enjoy Being a Dyke,” during a school-approved field trip in the Muskoka region of Ontario.

The clothing was distributed at a Day of Pink Conference hosted at a school in the Trillium Lakelands District School Board on April 2. The board clarified that nearly two-dozen shirts were handed out as “prizes during the event,” though it “was not approved by the event coordinators in advance.”

Attention Hogg Blows Nearly Half His PAC’s Donor Dollars On Nonsense Like DoorDash And Marc Elias

David Hogg has built his fame and fortune on the manipulation of tragedy. He turned surviving the devastating Parkland school shootings into an attention-soaked role as one of the left’s more insufferable activists.

So perhaps it’s no surprise that the little prince of gun control has positioned himself at the center of another leftist organization and is now taking heat for the political action committee’s spending binge.

It never “gets better”.

No Wonder Gavin Newsom Didn’t Want an Audit to Track $24 Billion in Homeless Spending

Gavin Newsom’s California put billions of tax dollars into a cannon, aimed it in the general direction of homeless “expert” NGOs, lit the fuse, and walked away. The BOOM came when someone started asking questions about where the $24 billion went. That day of reckoning is finally here. And we learn that Gavin Newsom and his Democrat super-majority in this one-party state have no idea where it went or whether it did any good whatsoever.
