Addiction Activists Say They’re ‘Reducing Harm’ in Philly. Locals Say They’re Causing It

For three years, Sonja Bingham, a 55-year-old mother of three, started every day the same way: with a broom. At dawn, she would come out to sweep away the damage from the previous night—the syringes, the fentanyl baggies, the cigarette butts, and the half-eaten sandwiches. And sometimes as she swept, she couldn’t help but think that the city of Philadelphia would’ve never let this fly during the crack epidemic.

“They threw our black asses in jail,” says Bingham, who’s speaking to me in her living room where there’s a TV streaming the live feed of four security cameras placed throughout her property.

Electric car crash: The American EV industry has hit the wall

Something big is happening in the US market for battery electric vehicles (EVs), and it isn’t positive for the industry that makes them, or for the Biden administration’s subsidised dreams.

During the final few months of 2023, the market saw sales slowing, unsold electric vehicles piling up on dealer lots, Tesla struggling to get a handful of its much hyped CyberTrucks onto the market after five long years of promises, pure-play EV companies like Fisker teetering on the financial brink, and traditional automakers like Ford and GM announcing delays in their plans and investments for future EV development.

Sexual Mutilation Fetishists blast Vatican’s new position on gender-affirming surgery as ‘dangerously ignorant’

Transgender activists and allies on Monday decried the Vatican’s new doctrine against gender-affirming surgery as “hurtful” and devoid of the voices and experiences of trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people, especially in its distinction between transgender and intersex people.

“The suggestion that gender-affirming health care — which has saved the lives of so many wonderful trans people and enabled them to live in harmony with their bodies, their communities and (God) — might risk or diminish trans people’s dignity is not only hurtful but dangerously ignorant,” said Mara Klein, a non-binary, transgender activist who has participated in Germany’s church reform project.

The Silky Hand of Qatar Targets Jordan

The Jordanian authorities have accused the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoot, Hamas, of seeking to destabilize security inside the kingdom. The accusation came in the aftermath of recent demonstrations in the capital Amman and other parts of Jordan in support of Hamas and in condemnation of Israel. The demonstrators are demanding that Jordan shut down the Israeli embassy and cut all ties with Israel.

Behind both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, of course, is the terrorist-sponsoring emirate Qatar and its propagandizing television bullhorn, Al-Jazeera.

BLM grifter Patrisse Cullors is seen scarfing down lunch

She’s known as the controversial figure who resigned from the Black Lives Matter organization under a cloud of scandal.

But last week, BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors went virtually undetected as she was seen patiently waiting at the deli counter for her sandwich at high-end supermarket Gelson’s in Calabasas.

As these exclusive candid DailyMail.com photos show, the activist, 40, is now living a low-key, comfortable life in Los Angeles, despite previously claiming she was forced to hire security and drivers for her own safety.

Liberal Party created housing crisis is now hurting our labour market

Liberal Party housing initiative.

There are so many downsides to the untenable prices in the Canadian housing market that it’s hard to keep up. But to add another one to the list: The negative effect on mobility, including the ability of people to move for work.

Prohibitively expensive home prices, high interest rates and increasing rents are the antithesis to the movement of people. Many are stuck in this constipated housing market. If you have anything close to a decent spot, you’re not going anywhere. It’s a big part of what’s gumming up the system.

Joe Oliver: Irrational ‘progressive’ policies are driving dystopian results

Society is in the grip of irrational ideas that defy common sense and drive dystopian policies. Some inane beliefs and trends are made up out of whole cloth; others derive from ideas that have resurfaced, Zombie-like, from the crypt of historic failures. They are advanced by “progressive” activists in thrall to a post-modern woke-ism steeped in Marxist-Leninism. What makes the phenomenon so threatening is its pervasive influence in politics, academia, media, not-for-profits and big business.

Trudeau government announces billions more for the military — but still won’t meet NATO’s spending target

OTTAWA—Canada will raise military spending by more than $8 billion over the next five years under a revamped military strategy that still won’t hit NATO targets, but that the Trudeau government is pitching as a roadmap to ensure the military meets a “complex generational challenge.”

Entitled Our North, Strong and Free, the policy plan pledges to ramp up annual spending until the additional injection reaches about $1.9 billion in the fifth year, and commits $73 billion in new money over the next two decades to buy new gear and boost Canadian Forces recruitment to allow it to confront security challenges posed by climate change in the Arctic and more aggressive authoritarian regimes around the world.

Usual hot air. Climate Change! Climate Change! Climate Change! Transvestite Climate Change!
