‘First the Saturday people, then..”

An old Jewish adage says that “every delay is for the good.” I was reminded of that while reading the book “First the Saturday people, and then the…” by Bruce Portnoy, published in 2015 to excellent reviews. Had I read it then, I would have considered this page-turning thriller taking place in the Midwest and Israel a good read, but might also have seen it as another far-fetched fantasy on what an author imagines goes on behind the scenes in international undercover intelligence operations, another impossible spy story that would make a great action film.

However, events since the book was written make those political intrigues eerily believable, so that reading it now is all “for the good” as the adage says, and therefore, recommended.

The arrogance of dismissing aliens

Recent UFO hearings have exposed our lack of foresight

It is not often that congressional hearings launch a golden week of memes. Last Wednesday, a subcommittee began questioning former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch, who has accused the US Department of Defence of concealing a long-standing programme that retrieves and reverse-engineers alien spacecraft that crash on Earth. Congressmen are struggling to take him seriously. The tone of the chair, Wisconsin’s Glenn Grothman, was facetious, telling the capacity crowd that they were watching “the most exciting subcommittee in Congress this week”. But Grusch’s claims have inspired an enormous amount of interest, as well as a lot of jokes.

‘We’re just fed up’: French police revolt after successive violent protests

Officers across France are performing minimum duties in a nationwide action against the detention of an officer for beating a protester

On a typical day Olivier patrols a mid-sized town in the Champagne region of France on the look-out for dangerous drivers.

But recently, the 44-year-old police officer has either been driving around aimlessly or sitting idle in the police station.

If he sees a minor offence, he turns a blind eye. The only part of his job he fully complies with are emergency calls.

Yes, We Do Need Songs Like Jason Aldean’s

National Review Editor-at-Large Kathryn Jean Lopez is criticizing country singer Jason Aldean for his new hit about small-town Americans defending themselves against left-wing violence and chaos, saying “we don’t need songs” like that. Lopez accuses Aldean of unnecessarily promoting “anger and violence,” encouraging him to instead focus on conveying messages of love.

“Part of the reason abortion is so prevalent in America is that people don’t know what a gift their own lives are,” writes Lopez. “That’s why we don’t need songs about pulling out guns to take care of problems that come from a deficit of love.”

Despite Trudeau’s words, the Americans are right on defence

It hasn’t been a good week for Canada’s military.

From a change in defence minister to a dressing down of Canada’s efforts in the United States Senate, our lacklustre military performance was under the spotlight.

Not that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would acknowledge any of that, he claimed things are great, Canada played a key role at the recent NATO summit and Vilnius, Lithuania and that we’re investing “massively” in the armed forces.

DOJ tries to jail key Hunter Biden witness Devon Archer on eve of congressional testimony

The Justice Department is pushing for Devon Archer to report to prison — just days ahead of the former Hunter Biden business partner’s hotly anticipated congressional testimony, according to new court documents.

Manhattan federal prosecutors on Saturday filed a letter requesting a judge set a date for Archer to start his one-year sentence in a fraud case unrelated to the first son’s various scandals.

Jamie Sarkonak: National Gallery trades historic accuracy for diversity

In the 19th century, Canada was dependent on Britain for law, arts and culture. But as Canadian society grew, so did its capacity in the arts. A milestone in Canadian national identity was reached in the 1920s, with the introduction of an art movement spearheaded by the landscape painters later known as the Group of Seven.

The war on life’s simple pleasures

Time and again we are told that in pursuit of a cleaner planet, we all have to be miserable

There are few things better in life than taking a hot shower at the end of a long day, crawling into a freshly made bed and passing out into the deepest sleep ever. There are also few things that ruin this uniquely cozy experience more quickly than stepping into a shower with dinky water pressure.

The UFO reports piquing Nasa’s interest

For the first time ever, a team of Nasa scientists is taking unidentified anomalous phenomena seriously. But how will they sift out the incidents worthy of investigation?

It was just a normal day’s flying for Alex Dietrich – until it wasn’t. Streaking through the sky over the tranquil expanse of the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, the US Navy lieutenant commander was taking her F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter jet on a training mission with a colleague in another plane. Then came a voice through the crackle of the radio.

It was an operations officer aboard the warship USS Princeton, asking them to investigate a suspicious object flitting around: on several occasions, it had been spotted 80,000ft (24.2km) high, before suddenly dropping close to the sea and apparently vanishing.

Hunter Biden’s laptop full of secret agreements and contracts with foreign business partners

Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop is filled with contracts and agreements between him and foreign business partners that could shine new light on his business dealings, and potentially implicate his father, insiders around the first son told The Post.

Hundreds of documents are littered among the tens of thousands of emails contained on the laptop — but the files were not downloaded onto the device, and investigators cannot open most of them.
