… According to a new report, Carlson is attempting to get out of his contract, which binds him to Fox News until January 2025, so that he can move on to the next phase of his career. To achieve this, he intends to make Fox News executives’ lives extremely difficult.
Political party conventions are strange things.
They’re meant to whip up enthusiasm among potential volunteers and donors in between elections. So on one level, the intended audience is entirely inside the clubhouse. But snippets of coverage will make their way to the broader public, meaning these events also serve as infomercial for the unconverted or undecided.
It’s not 2015 anymore.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) — The driver of an SUV that killed eight people when it slammed into a bus stop in Brownsville, Texas has been charged with manslaughter, police said Monday as investigators tried to determine if the crash was intentional.
Authorities believe driver George Alvarez, 34, of Brownsville, lost control after running a red light Sunday morning and plowed into a crowd of Venezuelans outside a migrant center.
The Canadian government is seeking to join the non-nuclear component of AUKUS, a security pact between Australia, Britain and the United States that was struck to counter China’s rising military might in the Indo-Pacific region, according to two government sources.
Canada was conspicuously absent when AUKUS was first announced in September, 2021. The three member countries are among this country’s closest allies, and like Canada they are members of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing partnership. National-security experts feared Canada, a laggard on defence spending, was being excluded from a new “Three Eyes” group.
They know the extent of China’s infiltration of Canada and reasonably refuse to put their nation’s at risk by allowing the Trudeau government AUKUS membership.
Bribery allegations were brought to the Justice Department by a whistleblower in 2018 against President Joe Biden, but the allegations were ignored, a former federal prosecutor revealed Sunday.
Olivia Chow leads in the latest Toronto mayoral election polls
Olivia Chow is still the front-runner in three recent polls as more voters start to solidify their choice for the next mayor of Toronto.
A Liaison poll of 1,257 Torontonians has Chow on a small but steady uptick since the start of the race, reaching 18 per cent if the election were held today. Mark Saunders — who has pitted his right-leaning campaign against left-leaning Chow — is tied in second with Josh Matlow at 11 per cent. Matlow and Chow are expected to vie for the same pool of progressive votes.
Stupid reigns in TO. Please Lord Smite Toronto As You Did Sodom & Gomorrah!
Woke lawmakers pushing to DECRIMINALIZE the camps
Shocking new images show Portland’s mounting homeless crisis as encampments take over streets and sidewalks – and fed-up residents want the city to take action.
Local authorities in Oregon are also considering calling in the National Guard to help with Portland’s homeless issue – while residents reveal they now no longer walk in certain areas because of the drug and encampment problem.
The Health and Human Services and Public Safety Committee met last month for an emergency meeting to deal with the crisis – with more than 5,000 estimated homeless people in the city. According to WGME, city leaders say there are more than 100 tents in the city.
This is Toronto’s future under Chowcescu.
Most Canadians support increasing defence spending to reach the two per cent target for NATO allies, according to a national survey conducted by Nanos for CTV News.
In 2021, Canada spent around 1.4 per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on national defence, falling short NATO’s two per cent target. The country has not achieved this defence spending target since the 1980s.
But Justin told NATO Canadians would never approve increased military spending which is odd as the Liberals announce millions to billions in new expenditures every week, most of it commited without consulting Citizens.
When Ukrainian troops drove into liberated Kherson in November, greeted by ecstatic and tearful residents after eight months of repressive Russian occupation, the 22-year-old Vladislav had only one question for the soldiers. “I asked them, ‘How can I join you?’”
Six months later, after his first trip abroad for military training on Salisbury Plain, Vladislav is preparing for a new liberation, that of the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians still living under occupation in the south and east claimed by Vladimir Putin as part of Russia.

Equality under the law is the cornerstone of liberal democracy. But judges across the country are now factoring race into sentencing.
Edward Smith didn’t think the color of his skin had anything to do with it.
He was 23, and he’d come to Canada in 2005 from West Africa. Now, he lived with his mother and sister in Edmonton, the capital of the western province of Alberta.
Racism—overt or systemic—didn’t make him take part in an armed robbery of an Airbnb in July 2019, he said. He’d decided on his own to help his cousin, who had told Smith that the people staying at the Airbnb had robbed him and that he was trying to get his money back. Smith agreed to help, but he didn’t want any guns involved. So they compromised: they’d bring a gun, but it would be unloaded.
The U.S. Air Force abandoned an experiment aimed at boosting pilot training graduation rates for women and minority pilots after the 2021 initiative failed to achieve the intended results and officers privately warned it could violate anti-discrimination policies, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
As part of the larger military-wide effort to promote diversity in the service’s pilot ranks, the 19th Air Force command near San Antonio, Texas, “clustered” racial minorities and female trainees into one class, dubbed “America’s Class,” to find out if doing so would improve the pilots’ graduation rates. However, not only did the effort fail to boost minority and women candidates’ success rates, but officers involved say they were ordered to engage in potentially unlawful discrimination by excluding white males from the class, documents show.
The Affirnative Action Air Force. China Trembles.
Asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick left struggling to find help
Jessica arrived in New Brunswick confused and disoriented, stepping off a bus on a cold March night after a more than 10-hour journey from Roxham Road. She knew nothing about Moncton, the city where she had been sent.
“They never told me where we were going,” she said, speaking in Spanish through an interpreter.
Jessica is one of more than 200 asylum seekers bused to New Brunswick after arriving in Quebec over the international border. Her relocation to Moncton was part of a scramble by the federal government to redirect migrants to other parts of the country.
While the newly crowned monarch was at the heart of many positive stories, commentators were not so charitable about Prince Harry
The coronation of King Charles dominated front pages around the globe, with many observers reflecting that the ceremony marked the modernisation of the British monarchy.
A glowing commentary by Michael Higgins in Canada’s National Post saying that Canadians could “rejoice in our new King”. However, he rejected the “homage of the people”, writing: “Whoever thought it was a good idea that the public — whether they be at home or abroad — should pledge allegiance to the King should be put in medieval stocks befitting a medieval idea. There is something deeply anachronistic and unsettling at expecting the ‘common man’ to pay homage to their monarch. Serfs have served their time.”
The recent controversy involving Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family being targeted by China is an enormous issue. For those who have repeatedly questioned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s commitment to ensuring that safety and security are among Canada’s highest priorities, this may be the biggest red flag of them all.
The Globe and Mail’s Robert Fife and Steven Chase recently published contents of a July 20, 2021, Canadian Security Intelligence Service report that examined China’s interest in Canada. The nine-page document suggested the former viewed the latter as a “high-priority target,” had employed “incentives and punishment” to gain an advantage, and the targeting was “expected to continue and increase over time.”
Here’s mud in their eye.
Five Chicago gay bars are boycotting Anheuser-Busch for distancing itself from transgender social media star Dylan Mulvaney after her Arpil 1 collaboration drew conservatives’ ire and calls for a Bud Light boycott.
Sidetrack Bar in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood shared its boycott plan on Instagram, noting the brewer’s moves “strongly bring into question their support of the LGBTQ+ community.”
