Wagner Group releases graphic video of corpses in desperate plea for more ammunition

The Wagner Group on Friday released a video of a stack of corpses to make a point about the shortage of ammunition it was facing, as its leader said he would risk arrest to get his fighters more shells and bullets.

The graphic clip, posted by a Telegram account linked to the Russian mercenary group, showed hundreds of dead bodies – allegedly of Wagner fighters – to show the human cost of the ammunition shortage.

“We’re losing our fighters every day: it would be half as much if the military officials were to supply us with weapons and ammunition on time,” an unidentified man in a hazmat suit said in the video.

Trudeau says Canadians decided 2021 election outcome in spite of Chinese meddling

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canadian voters alone decided the last federal election as he played down a report Friday that China tried to unduly sway the outcome.

The Toronto-based Globe and Mail newspaper, citing classified Canadian Security Intelligence Service records, said China worked to help ensure a Liberal minority victory in the 2021 general election as well as defeat Conservative politicians considered unfriendly to Beijing.

Joe Rogan blasts Buttigieg comments on white construction workers

Joe Rogan slammed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg Wednesday for saying that there are too many white construction workers taking jobs in communities of color.

On his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan argued that the workers should be selected based on merit, not race, and criticized the Department of Transportation’s response to the train derailment that occurred in East Palestine, Ohio, last week.

NDP MP calls for hate speech law to combat residential school mass graves ‘denialism’

Some Indigenous academics and activists say they’ve become the targets of a growing backlash against reports of hundreds of unmarked graves at former residential school sites — and they want Parliament to do something about it.

They say they’re being flooded with emails, letters and phone calls from people pushing back against the reports of suspected graves and skewing the history of the government-funded, church-run institutions that worked to assimilate more than 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children for more than a century.

They call it “residential school denialism” and describe it as an attempt to downplay, twist and dismiss the facts to undermine public confidence in the Indigenous reconciliation project.

This ought to go over well.

America’s worst shot! Gunman shoots NYC deli worker at point-blank range and then returns with AR-15 and shoots him multiple times AGAIN – yet he somehow survives and calls the cops!

This is the terrifying moment a masked gunman opens fire at a shopkeeper in a Queens deli with a handgun – before going back and shooting at him with an AR-15 rifle.

Donnie Hudson, 35, walked into the Express Deli in South Ozone Park, Queens, on Wednesday afternoon, where he shot the shopkeeper of the bodega multiple times.

He rained down bullets on the 47-year-old, who miraculously survived the attack despite being shot at repeatedly – and was hit in the eye.

Rex Murphy: Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon quitting is the transition we need

This may mark a real turning of the woke tide

We’re going through a time here in the West of bizarre happenings, strange and new fads and fancies, ideas that darken common sense and practices — self-declared “ex-men” breaking in to female sports, serious professionals being disciplined or fired for (horror) insisting that “a man is not a woman,” a teacher wandering into school with what appears to be the Goodyear Blimp under a tight sweater.

Inside the Ukrainian morgue trying to identify the enemy dead

Hundreds of Russian soldiers have undergone DNA examination, partly to help with inquiries into war crimes in once-occupied areas

Twice in its 90-year history the courtyard of Kharkiv’s morgue has overflowed with the dead. The first was during the Holodomor, Stalin’s man-made famine in Ukraine, regarded in this country as the Kremlin’s first attempt at genocide against its people. The second was just after the Russian invasion began a year ago and Ukraine’s second city emptied of the living, fleeing the onslaught.

War is About More than Big Battalions

A reflection on what people are willing to fight, kill, and die for.

Napoleon famously said that “morale is to the physical as three is to one.” More troops and bigger guns don’t necessarily guarantee victory, as Napoleon himself demonstrated. The post-revolutionary French army took on the wealthy great powers of Europe and with the exception of England, inflicted on them defeat after defeat, dominating most of continental Europe from 1804-14. History is full of other conflicts and battles in which the motivations for fighting trumped the greater numbers of the foe. Indeed, the West only exists because twice, in 490 and 480 B.C., the free Greeks defeated the massive, servile armies of the autocratic Persian Empire, preserving the ideals of political freedom and equality.

Conspiracies are the price of freedom

Here’s a conspiracy theory of my own invention. Why did Jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswald? Readers under the age of 80 may need to know that Jack Ruby was a Dallas bar owner and small-time crook who shot dead Oswald, the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy. Nobody has ever thought that Ruby did this out of patriotic indignation. Somebody wanted to silence Oswald for good, and Ruby was the instrument they chose to do so.

We need a peasants’ revolt against the new green feudalism

The eco-elites are determined to stop us from travelling and earning.

It’s funny to think that The Archers started out in 1950, as a way of ‘educating’ farmers about what the UK government wanted from them in the new postwar Eden. One actor would often read announcements from the Ministry of Agriculture almost verbatim to another. Direct involvement of the government ended in 1972, apparently – but you’d never know it. Because after a couple of decades of being a perfectly good soap opera, like every other serial drama, whether on radio or TV, from the BBC or ITV, The Archers now feels like sitting in a doctor’s waiting room without a book, when you’re forced to plough through public-health pamphlets telling you how to think about everything, from breakfast to Brexit.
