Criminal charges against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting on the set of his movie “Rust” have been dropped, sources told The Post.
Baldwin, 65, was charged with involuntary manslaughter over the Oct. 21, 2021 shooting of 45-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico set of the Western movie, after a prop pistol he was using for a scene fired a real bullet.
He had always maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty to the charges, brought by the Santa Fe district attorney.
Don’t know if we should be calling these woke folks, ‘astronauts’ or ‘cosmonauts’. But it was also expected that the people they picked for a hypothetical lunar mission would be leftists who hate America. Their experiments will likely consist of measuring equity on the moon and claiming that low-gravity environments have a disproportionate impact on people of color. And this garbage is starting early. Really early.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand” is a banality we’re all familiar with, but what too many Canadians can’t seem to get their heads around is that a national broadcaster supported overwhelmingly by the governing Liberals but bitterly opposed by Conservatives cannot stand, either, and probably shouldn’t. You can blame Pierre Poilievre for this state of affairs if you like. But Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are every bit as guilty.
By now you’ve certainly heard about the shooting of Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old who went to pick up his younger brothers but mistakenly walked up to the wrong house. His brothers were on 115th Street and Yarl mistakenly went to 115th Terrace. When he rang the bell, 84-year-old homeowner Andrew Lester fired his gun through the door hitting Ralph twice including once in the head. He was hospitalized and, fortunately, survived the attack. His story immediately became national news. Ralph Yarl is black and Andrew Lester is white.
OTTAWA, April 20 (Reuters) – Canada agreed to provide subsidies of up to C$13 billion ($9.7 billion) over a decade plus a C$700 million grant to lure Volkswagen AG into building its North American battery plant in the country, a government source said confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News.
The total Canadian investment, which could include funds from the Ontario government also, will largely match what Volkswagen would have got from the United States through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the source said.
It’s the kind of stuff movies are made of — a robbery from a supposedly secure facility, a huge amount of gold now missing and a mystery about who is behind it.

Migrants caught in freezing bog near Manitoba border are from Mexico, officials say
United States officials say at least seven of the nine men caught crossing the border this week from southeast Manitoba are Mexican citizens.
RCMP were first alerted to the group when one of them called 911 early Tuesday suffering from the cold weather.
BuzzFeed News is has published its last listicle.
The parent company of the site that took the news business by storm in the early 2010s and also published the now-debunked Steele Dossier is being shut down, according to a memo from BuzzFeed Inc. CEO Jonah Peretti on Thursday
If striking bureaucrats get their pay raises, inflation might never end
When 155,000 federal government workers walked off the job this week, they tested more than the resolve of the government and the patience of Canadian taxpayers. They also tested Newton’s third law, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
There is no question that the cost of living has been rising and that people need relief. But that does not come from simply giving everyone more money.
Very shortly the Trudeau government and Canada’s public service unions, a critical component of the Liberal Party’s electoral success, will rub shit in your face and tell you to like it.
They will get virtually all they ask for. Trudeau is in need of their support and like the CBC the unions were never non-partisan.

Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh all crave the labour vote. Here’s why the federal strike complicates that
OTTAWA—When NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh turned up in front of Parliament Hill Wednesday to join thousands of striking federal workers, the picket line all but turned into a party line.
After all, Singh has noted repeatedly in recent days, his party has always stood on the side of unions.
The Public Service is not the “labour vote”. Labour in Canada is mostly non-unionized.
The unionization rate for private sector employees fell from 19.0% in 1997 to 13.8% in 2021. In contrast, 74.1% of public sector employees were union members in 2021, 4.3 percentage points higher than in 1997.
A Netflix docudrama series that depicts Queen Cleopatra VII as a black African has sparked controversy in Egypt.
A lawyer has filed a complaint that accuses African Queens: Queen Cleopatra of violating media laws and aiming to “erase the Egyptian identity”.
A top archaeologist insisted Cleopatra was “light-skinned, not black”.
I hope Cleo is a Dwarf who hooks up with a racialized Gay Elf and goes on a Ring quest, that would be a great show.

Kitty Noah sits barefoot on her son Noah Noah’s couch in Iqaluit, sipping a hot cup of coffee.
Occasionally, the 62-year-old blurts out “aakuluk” to her family, who repeat the Inuktitut term of endearment back to her.
“I love her a lot,” says her son, Samuel Hughes, Kitty’s caregiver.
When Hughes heard that his mother was the victim of an alleged lie to gain Inuit identity for a pair of Ontario twins they had never met, he said he was surprised and upset.
I hope we can deport them.
Someone, somewhere thought it was a smashing idea to house Desiree Anderson in a Windsor women’s shelter.
Of course, there was no consideration for the wishes, feelings or fears of other residents. That would be … regressive and wildly off-message in 2023.

A Russia-based outreach organization that has cultivated relationships with rising American, European and Canadian policy professionals and academics has secretly received financing and direction from Moscow’s spy service, U.S. prosecutors allege.
In court documents filed in Washington, U.S. authorities say that an organization known as Public Initiative Creative Diplomacy, or PICREADI, was being used by Russian intelligence to glean information about influential foreigners.
