Can US pressure deliver Israel-Hamas truce in Gaza?

A truce between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza was never going to be easy. Weeks of talks have failed to produce agreement. But international pressure is growing.

Perhaps the biggest sign is the Biden administration sending William Burns, the head of the CIA, for the latest round of talks in Cairo.

Hamas has, in public at least, stuck with its initial demands of a permanent ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops and the return of displaced Palestinians to northern parts of the territory without restrictions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meanwhile insists that Israel will continue fighting until Hamas is destroyed and hostages the group is holding are free.


Israel is damned if they do and damned if they don’t so they may as well do.

We could be witnessing a pantomime allowing the White House to save face and say they tried to negotiate a ceasefire.

Bueller? How School Absenteeism Went From Silly Movie Plot To Sinister Epidemic

The New York Times published an article last week noting that chronic absenteeism in American schools has “exploded,” reportedly transcending narrow silos of region, race, class, and age. But why wouldn’t students skip school? These days they aren’t missing out on much.

The most powerful quote of the Times piece summarized the essence of the new reality facing American educators: “Our relationship with school became optional.” It turns out parents have decided school isn’t the pressing priority it once was and that bargain family vacations, running errands, or just taking random days off are paramount to the demands of the traditional school schedule.

Englandistan: Islamic prayer in Westminster

When we thought we had seen it all, Islamic prayer, the muezzin and Allahu Akbar arrived in Westminster. “London is more Islamic than many Muslim countries put together,” said Imam Maulana Syed Raza Rizvi.

Two weeks ago, imams prayed at the Parliament in Brussels.

Old story, the boiled frog theory. If the lukewarm water suddenly burns, the frog will jump out of the pot, but if the temperature is raised little by little in an imperceptible way, it will even be pleasant and when the frog realizes that it is too hot, it will be too late.

How woke policing betrays ordinary people

The cops now care more about offensive tweets than burglaries.

Are the police interested in actually policing anymore? Last week, it was revealed that it now takes officers across the UK up to 28 hours to respond to a burglary. The waiting time for the police to respond to break-ins has reportedly doubled in two years. And all this is after the police declared in 2022 that they would start treating burglaries as a priority crime and attend all domestic burglaries.

Harvard professor claims that UFOs could have travelled to Earth via ‘extra dimensions’

Harvard professor claims that UFOs could have travelled to Earth via ‘extra dimensions’

The US government has yet to unravel the mysterious sightings of UFOs soaring through our skies, but a Harvard professor believes the answer may sit 300 feet below the surface.

Avi Loeb, known for his efforts to prove we are not alone, has claimed that extraterrestrial visitors are travelling through hidden dimensions created by researchers at the CERN particle accelerator are seeking.

The accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), blasts particles are nearly the speed of light to recreate conditions of the Big Bang, with hopes of uncovering hidden dimensions that will reveal how our universe formed.


Alien 51 offers some suitable for me Crayon Level explanations of our possible multi-dimensional universe thanks to quantum mechanics. Now I do not necessarily agree with one participant’s claim that aliens may in fact be demonic spirits but then again it would explain Ottawa and Washington.

For anyone interested, National Geographic has put out a very good series of UFO Documentaries.

PM didn’t accept CSIS warnings about MP Dong and possible Chinese interference in Don Valley North riding in 2019

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accepted the advice of his campaign manager in the 2019 election that no action should be taken against Liberal Han Dong despite concerns raised by Canada’s spy service about possible China-directed interference activities, the public inquiry into foreign meddling heard Tuesday.

The Foreign Interference Commission has heard testimony that CSIS provided a classified briefing in Sept. 28, 2019, to Liberal Party officials, who received national-security clearances, about alleged irregularities in the Don Valley North nomination that Mr. Dong won.

No surprise Trudeau works for China.

Tom Mulcair: Super Trudeau’s pre-budget tour is about saving himself

Before Justin Trudeau entered ‘costume rehab,’ he used to get dressed up pretty often. From his brown- and blackface(opens in a new tab) episodes during his teaching and high school years, to the traditional apparel his whole family wore on a botched trip to India(opens in a new tab) in 2018, our prime minister had a hankering to wow us with his disguises.

He even had a second campaign plane(opens in a new tab) during the 2019 federal election to carry cargo, and then Conservative leader Andrew Scheer didn’t miss the chance to ridicule Trudeau for needing another plane to carry all his “props and costumes.”

Nothin’ says lovin’ like a baby in the oven and Islam does it best

Gen. Rick Hillier: Ideology masking as leadership killed the Canadian dream

“This is not Canada,” is a phrase we hear far too often. It seems to come from every politician, from all levels. It’s exclaimed after every illegal demonstration, hate crime, blocked street, gang shooting, home invasion, car theft and emergency room horror story.

Those exclamations ring hollow as food bank lines stretch longer and as hopeless thousand-yard stares of good men and women grow more prevalent. While dreams of home ownership fade, shantytowns grow and our confidence in the future plummets. We hear the official inflation rate, but it bears little resemblance to our real-life experience. “This is not Canada” grates, harshly, especially when it comes from those who seem so out of touch with reality.
