Media Not Ready to Accept Fani Willis Did Anything Wrong
Let she who has not hired her boyfriend to prosecute a former president on the taxpayer dime cast the first stone. Or at least that’s the message the mainstream media seem to be conveying with recent coverage of Fani Willis, which paints the district attorney’s alleged behavior as something any one of us could have done and dismisses criticism by suggesting she’s being held to a higher standard because she is black.
When did it become ‘far-right’ to support European farmers who are fighting for their livelihoods and rural communities? If we were to believe the mainstream media coverage of the farmers’ protests, we might expect to see them marching through Berlin or Paris in jackboots rather than their working bottes en caoutchouc (Wellingtons to us Brits).
The ‘far-right’ political libel against hard-pressed farmers is really a sign of how far the EU elites have lost touch with the reality of life for the peoples of Europe. We should ignore the slurs, and get behind the fighting farmers.
For about 49 minutes Konstantin Kudryavtsev, a member of a suspected FSB squad that poisoned Alexei Navalny, thought he was talking to an official on Russia’s national security council.
The man on the phone was demanding answers about the failed attempt to kill President Putin’s most prominent critic in August 2020.
If you’re one of the many people worried that US foreign policy is in the hands of a visibly declining eighty-one year-old president, Alexander Ward’s account of the Biden administration’s first two years in office may — or may not — make you feel better, for he leaves readers with little doubt as to who is actually the executive branch’s most influential decision-maker: forty-seven year-old national security advisor Jake Sullivan.
Lyft, the ridesharing company, released information admitting to 4,158 sexual assaults from 2017 to 2019. And each year it got worse. Lyft ended up paying out a $25 million settlement to shareholders over disclosures involving, among other things, driver sexual assaults.
And since then the lawsuits have kept right on coming.
From London to New York, young radicals have become footsoldiers of Jew hatred.
Can we call them hate marches now? On Saturday in London there was yet another gathering of frothing Israelophobes. Another noisy assembly of bourgeois leftists and radical Islamists. Another long trudge through the city by that unholiest gang of Waitrose shoppers and jihad fanboys, of plummy liberals and the people who’ll be giving them a hundred lashes if the Islamic Revolution ever sweeps Britain. And this time the mask was well and truly off. This was no ‘pro-Palestine’ march – it was a viscerally anti-Israel march that frequently crossed the line into something even darker. Into the darkest hatred of them all.
Shocking images and video taken in California this weekend show Chinese migrants lined up at the border town of Jacumba and telling reporters shamelessly how they’re here to ‘take the money’.
Dozens and dozens, possibly up to hundreds of migrants, crossed the international boundary, according to Griff Jenkins of Fox News, who recorded the footage.
‘This is one of the largest groups of Chinese I have ever come across and there were […] two groups at the same time crossing in Jacumba, CA,’ the correspondent tweeted last week.
Israel’s prime minister missed the chance to starve Hamas of cash, years before its murderous attack last October, according to a former senior Israeli intelligence officer.
Udi Levy has told BBC Panorama he advised Benjamin Netanyahu to target Hamas’s finances.
He believes this would have hampered the group’s military build-up, but says the intelligence was not acted upon.
The Israeli prime minister’s office has not responded to the allegations.
Americans were sold the promise that electric vehicles would bring production companies and an influx of jobs to small towns nationwide as part of a modern day goldrush.
However, as interest in EVs has slipped, lithium and nickel facilities – metals used in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles – are taking cost-cutting measures including mass layoffs and suspending operations.
The demand for electric vehicles surged in 2022, rising by 76 percent in April of that year, but by the end of 2023, the number of vehicles sold dropped to 50 percent.
The world is entering an age of tragedy, a cascading series of wars and conflict, an era of permanent crisis, warns Robert Kaplan, the veteran foreign correspondent and author.
Political leaders will be faced, not with an easy choice between good and evil, but between what is acceptable, what can be achieved, and whether one alternative is less evil than another, he says.
British Columbia’s rampant drug deaths have more than once thrust public health officials into uncharted territory. It became the first province to decriminalize small quantities of hard drugs for personal use in 2022, about two decades after Vancouver opened the first supervised injection site in North America. But as overdoses increase in some British Columbia towns, there is disagreement in one city about how to address it.
I leave the wonderful hamlet of Buckhorn once a week to spend time in downtown Toronto filming my interviews, with all sorts of people, to discuss the issues of the day.
I have interviewed NDPers, and Liberals, but few will now come forward to agree with anything that the Canadian government is pushing.
This is powerful slam poetry. It has a dash of performance art and it leaves me breathless.

HALIFAX—Apart from the Canadian public, the obvious loser in the ArriveCan scandal is the Trudeau government.
After all, it takes a special kind of incompetence to turn an $80,000 project into a $60-million boondoggle of epic proportions.
Thanking the Auditor General for writing what could be your political epitaph isn’t fooling anyone. Neither is the promise to accept her recommendations. Or protestations that you are committed to handling taxpayers’ money responsibly. In the light of the AG’s findings, that is all nonsense.
