A 32-year-old man who shot a fellow passenger in the head on a New York subway train will not be charged because he was acting in self-defence, prosecutors said.
Terrified New York City commuters were left trapped in a carriage as gunfire rang out when a fight got out of control on Thursday during rush hour.
The shooting occurred around 4.45pm, when a 32-year-old man was confronted by an “aggressive” 36-year-old named by local outlets as Dajuan Robinson.
In 2023, a U.S. judge sentenced high-profile Harvard professor Charles Lieber to imprisonment and fines for lying about his ties with China’s state-run talent recruitment program and a Wuhan university. Several other researchers in the United States have been arrested on similar charges in recent years.
In Canada, after more than four years since Xiangguo Qiu and Keding Cheng were expelled from the high-security Winnipeg lab in 2019 and later fired for undisclosed ties with Chinese regime entities and talent programs, no charges have been announced.
Drivers in Ontario looking to switch gears to an electric vehicle may consider hitting the brakes on the idea following the release of a new report on the cost of ownership.
The University of British Columbia study(opens in a new tab) found that it’s actually cheaper to own an EV than an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) in some parts of the country, and Ontario is far from the top of the list.
EV’s are costly anywhere, the study is a weak attempt at propaganda.
Okay, I’ll admit it: I didn’t have Tennessee Williams on my reading list today. But I did read Judge Scott McAfee’s opinion that scathes Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis while nevertheless allowing her to continue running the RICO prosecution against former President Donald Trump and 18 others. I would thus observe, as a former prosecutor, that if a judge is talking about you when he describes the “odor of mendacity” wafting through the courtroom, you ought to leave the proceedings voluntarily . . . and maybe start thinking about your next career move. Your useful time on a case is over.
Kali Gaddie was a college senior when the pandemic abruptly upended her life plans—and made her part of a big and deeply unhappy political force that figures to play a huge role in the 2024 election season.
Her graduation was postponed, she was let go from her college job and her summer internship got canceled. She spent the final months of school taking online classes from her parents’ house. “You would think that there’s a plan B or a safety net,” she said. “But there’s actually not.”
Today, Gaddie, 25, works as an office manager in Atlanta earning less than $35,000 a year. In her spare time, she uploads videos to TikTok, where she’s amassed thousands of followers. Now, that’s at risk of being taken away too. All of this has left her dejected and increasingly skeptical of politicians.
I’ve been writing about electric vehicles since 2011. EV cheerleading never stops. They’re inevitable! We’ll have 500,000 chargers coast to coast any minute now (the federal government has built approximately two)! By 2030, 50% — or more — of all vehicles on the road will be EVs! EVs will save the planet! Ve haf vays to make you buy EVs! And eat bugs! Don’t forget about the bugs!
In November, Biden and Chinese Communist President Xi met once again, this time at the mansion used for the exteriors of the TV show, ‘Dynasty’, to talk about the relationship between the two countries. And yet all these months after the three hour meeting, nothing changed.
Biden had met with Xi everywhere from the Bay Area to Bali with no result. Why?
The elites’ demonisation of rural America is out of control.
White American intellectuals are dumping all over the white working class – again. It seems they still haven’t learned that accusing vast swathes of voters of being malevolent, wild-eyed hillbillies isn’t the best way of persuading people to their cause.
In the new book, White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy, authors Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman claim to use ‘research’ and ‘studies’ to back up every liberal prejudice under the sun.
Countries like Britain and the United States are friendly to Israel. That is the official position. After the October 7 attacks, both governments immediately condemned the atrocities and supported Israel’s right to self-defence.
Yet if one counts up all those governments’ public pronouncements on the Israel-Gaza conflict, one finds the great majority are criticisms of Israel. Ministers do not defend Hamas, of course, but they usually mention it only in passing, or not at all.
Covid and the Capitol riots have shifted survivalism from the fringes of society into a multibillion-dollar business
It was just another peaceful spring day in the Washington suburbs … then America’s new civil war broke out.
Supporters of both political tribes have resorted to violence amid the electoral rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden: anti-abortion activists and environmental campaigners are taking up arms against each other, several states are planning to secede and somehow the podcaster Joe Rogan and the talk show host Jimmy Kimmel have been killed in a wave of marauding.
Sheena’s son is about to be physically castrated. Not exactly the Mother’s Day gift she would have liked. It is absolutely devastating, but Sheena and other parents of young people who claim their brains and bodies don’t align are starting to fight back against this monstrous, self-elected maiming of their boys and girls. The mums and dads think their kids have been indoctrinated by trans activists who, quite unbelievably, have been allowed to preach their controversial views to innocent children in our schools.

A photo tweeted by Global Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly Thursday night of her meeting in the West Bank with the territory’s leader has drawn outrage from Israel supporters who noticed the photo also includes the Jewish Liberal cabinet minister Ya’ara Saks holding hands with Mahmoud Abbas, known for antisemitism, Holocaust denial and supporting terror.
Could someone please tell Canada's foreign minister and Canada's minister of mental health and addictions that Abbas is a raging anti-Semite and Holocaust denier?

This is so fecked up it’s funny.
Federal prosecutors said on Friday that Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced cryptocurrency mogul, should receive a 40 to 50-year prison sentence for his conviction on fraud charges.
The prosecutors outlined the sentencing recommendation in a filing in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Mr. Bankman-Fried’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 28, during which Judge Lewis A. Kaplan will decide his fate. He faces a maximum possible penalty of 110 years.
“Justice requires that he receive a prison sentence commensurate with the extraordinary dimensions of his crimes,” the prosecutors said in a 116-page sentencing memo to the judge.
