A shooting at a Florida Dollar General store in Northwest Jacksonville which left three black people dead was ‘racially motivated,’ officials say.
The incident, which also saw the white gunman die from a self-inflicted gun wound, on Saturday is being investigated as a hate crime by the FBI and local authorities.
The suspected shooter used an assault rifle covered in Nazi swastikas in the attack, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
With reluctance, I revisit Aboriginal issues, to assault directly the federal government’s compulsive pious posturing about what is commonly and misleadingly called “reconciliation.” Practically everyone agrees that Canada’s First Nations have many legitimate grievances and wishes justice for them. To accomplish this, we must not only produce a radically new policy; we must also undo the injustices we have inflicted on ourselves. The controversy over the “unmarked graves of missing children” has gone quiet, presumably because its propagators declined to use the money that has been allocated to establish whether there are any such graves. This controversy blew up so quickly into shocking charges bandied about and repeated all over the world that a pause enables us to review them briefly with no hyperbole.
What are the most damaging claims you can make about someone in our society? The ones that would truly damage – if not ruin – the reputation of anyone they were levelled against.
There is “murderer”, I suppose. “Paedophile”, definitely. And then there is “racist”. All are highly reputationally destructive, especially if asserted repeatedly.
But notice that there is a difference between these charges. The first two can be fought in a court and can be easily disproved if they are wrong. If someone claimed, online or off, that you had murdered someone, then you could take them to court for slander or libel and it could be shown in court that you had not in fact murdered anyone. They would have to prove that you did, and if they couldn’t, then they would be in trouble. The same goes for the charge of paedophilia. If someone made that charge against you, it would be possible to sue them and they would be shown in court to have made a baseless claim.
He will spell out in excruciating detail and with ample evidence why he challenged the 2020 election.
If Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis didn’t exist, Donald Trump would have had to invent her.
Thanks to her bizarre RICO indictment of Trump for allegedly conspiring to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election, Willis has afforded him the opportunity to publish and monetize his history-making mugshot. That arrest photo of Trump scowling beneath the seal of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office is and will continue to be the gift that keeps on giving as it appears on billboards, yard signs, posters, bumper stickers, T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, coffee mugs, the internet, and TV.
In a recent tweet critiquing the legacy of Jon Stewart, I summarized that for my generation, who were coming of age during 9/11 and the war in Iraq, we were desperately in search of anyone who could cut through the corporate media partisanship. We craved an everyman to tell it like it was. We were given Jon Stewart. And just like he taught us, we became smug, disingenuous, and lazy thinkers.
The post went viral with Elon Musk weighing in, stating, “I rather liked the old Daily Show and Colbert Report. But now they’ve gone off in a direction that is…” Thousands agreed.
The people elected and selected to run Portland, Oregon, are like kids who get their first car and never think to change the oil. The city is led by a cadre of ardent leftists who thought they could just rev the engine, ignore maintenance, and see the city magically run itself. Instead, they’ve driven the City of Roses into a Doom Loop.
Toronto’s fate is sealed.
Leftists will always promise a brighter tomorrow that never arrives no matter how much money is spent.
Things will only get worse in TO just as they do in every US city controlled by Democrats.
The Iranian regime is advancing its ideology and increasing its influence in Shia mosques throughout the United States, while the Biden administration is sitting idly by, presumably still seeking to return to a disastrous nuclear deal, lift sanctions against Iran, and fund the regime to launch more terrorist attacks, further repress its own citizens, and pave the way for it legally to obtain an unlimited supply of nuclear weapons.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Pakistani doctor and former Mayo Clinic research coordinator who sought to join the Islamic State terrorist group to fight in Syria and expressed interest in carrying out attacks on U.S. soil was sentenced Friday to 18 years in prison.
Muhammad Masood, 31, pleaded guilty a year ago to attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Prosecutors said he attempted unsuccessfully to travel from the U.S. to Syria via Jordan in 2020, then agreed to fly from Minneapolis to Los Angeles to meet up with someone he thought would help him travel by cargo ship to IS territory.
A run-in with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) can be taxing in the best circumstances, but the real test of a Canadian’s patience could come during the wait to speak with an agent on the phone.
As of the end of July, the CRA’s call centres were hitting their target of getting to a caller within 15 minutes or less only 31 per cent of the time, the agency told CTVNews.ca. This is compared to a service standard goal of 65 per cent of calls.
I had to deal with the CRA on behalf of both Mom and Kathy’s estate. This involved a number of calls for each, a wait of half an hour would have been welcome.
I routinely spent up to 3 hours in “line” and once had the call disconnected when I was finally connected to a live agent.
My experience dealing with CRA staff has been good, even excellent with rare exception.
Migrant smugglers were seen boasting how easy it is to illegally cross the border into America in a confronting clip showing a long line of men entering the U.S. smiling and waving at the camera.
The alarming footage, filmed on May 27 near Lukeville, Arizona, reveals a long line of migrant men casually climbing through a gap in the US-Mexico border wall and meeting no resistance or questioning.
A caption in Spanish accompanying the video reads: ‘Achieving their goals, the gents’ followed by two prayer emojis. Text overlaid on the video also describes the crossing as a ‘desert adventure.’
While driving home from work in Mississauga on the evening of July 27, Zeza Barros came upon a grim scene.
She said she was heading northbound on Dundas Street, near Dixie Road, when she witnessed a collision unfold between a motorcyclist and the driver of a car who was attempting to make a left turn.
Barros said she immediately pulled over and ran to see if she could help the wounded motorcyclist, who had sustained severe injuries.
EVERYTHING IS BROKEN.

Japan has begun releasing treated radioactive water from its damaged Fukushima power plant into the Pacific Ocean – 12 years after a nuclear meltdown.
That’s despite China slapping a ban on Japanese seafood and protests in Japan itself and South Korea.
The UN’s atomic regulator says the water will have “negligible” radiological impact on people and the environment.
Transparency from all levels of Canadian government has rarely, if ever, been murkier. A group of nonprofits including the Centre for Law and Democracy and Centre for Free Expression recently went so far as to submit a complaint to the United Nations about the federal government’s infringements upon Canadians’ right to information.
Our political class needs dismantling.
Capitol Police Officer Michael Byrd, who shot Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt inside the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, has now been promoted to the position of captain.
Byrd, who has been in the position of lieutenant, shot Babbitt as she was trying to make her way into the Speaker’s Lobby of Congress through a window on Jan. 6, 2021. After the fact, Byrd did not face any charges.
