Death to “Killadelphia.”
A Philadelphia gas station owner has taken drastic measures against soaring crime — hiring heavily armed security with AR-15s to patrol outside.
Fox 29 filmed a group of officers guarding a Karco gas station while wearing military-style clothing — including Kevlar bulletproof vests — while toting shotguns and even assault rifles.
Parliamentary staffers for the Liberal government expressed skepticism regarding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claim that the Freedom Convoy received “disturbing amounts” of foreign funding, according to internal emails.
The emails, which were submitted to the Public Order Emergency Commission and first reported on by Blacklock’s Reporter, detailed the political aides’ discussion around a media inquiry from the Wall Street Journal asking for clarification on the prime minister’s claims.
OTTAWA – Veteran journalist Dean Beeby says reporters are abandoning the federal Access to Information Act as a research tool because turnaround times are terrible and getting worse.
The access law allows journalists and others who pay a $5 fee to request documents — from internal emails and expense claims to briefing memos and studies — but it has long been criticized as antiquated and poorly administered.
OTTAWA — Cracks are beginning to form in the Liberal caucus over the government’s contentious gun control bill, and the Conservatives were quick to jump on it during question period on Wednesday.
Addressing the Liberals across the aisle, Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre wasted no time in bringing up comments made by Yukon Liberal MP Brendan Hanley, who said on Wednesday he won’t be supporting Bill C-21.
A superintendent has been fired by a school board after a grand jury issued a damning report into the district’s handling of two sex attacks by a male pupil wearing a kilt.
The 15-year-old boy raped his female classmate in a transgender-friendly bathroom at Stone Bridge High School in Virginia in May last year.
The boy, who was wearing a kilt during the incident, was convicted of sexually assaulting another girl at a different school in October last year.
Days after what officials called a targeted attack on power substations in North Carolina, NewsNation has exclusively obtained a recent federal law enforcement memo that warned of something strikingly similar.
Elon Musk said that “important” data from Twitter was “hidden” and “may have been deleted” in a Wednesday post on the social media site.
“Most important data was hidden (from you too) and some may have been deleted, but everything we find will be released,” Musk said in a Tweet posted Wednesday afternoon in response to a question from Twitter founder and ex-CEO Jack Dorsey.
Farmers across Britain are giving their ageing trucks a new lease of life – on the front lines against Russia
For decades, it has been one of Britain’s favourite all-terrain chariots: built for lugging heavy loads across fields, but nippy enough to navigate the car park in Tesco’s. Sturdy, reliable and cheaper than a Land Rover, the humble Mitsubishi L200 pick-up is the workhorse of everyday country folk.
Unsurprisingly, after a lifetime of tough service on a farm, and with 100,000 miles on the clock, an L200 doesn’t normally attract much attention on the second-hand market. But now, farmers across Britain are seeing a surge in demand for their ageing jalopies – for use as mobile rocket launchers in Ukraine.
Twenty-five people have been arrested by German authorities on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government.
A failed coup attempt – and a series of raids involving 3,000 officers – seems like the sort of story that might happen in a far-flung part of the world, not the largest economy in Europe. But early reporting indicates there was something fairly typical about this coup attempt: it involved a group of delusional far-rightists and ex-military officers. The false idea that if these men simply waltzed into parliament and placed politicians under arrest, the state would fold and they would get to run the place, seems to have been a factor in their attempt. A similar attitude was held by those who plotted to stage a coup in Portugal in 1975, and Spain in 1981. As with this latest plot in Germany, both attempts to seize power failed miserably.
PERHAPS the first thing to say is that few people in the West at the beginning of the year really expected that Putin would actually invade – I certainly did not, and I put my hand up to having totally ‘misappreciated’ the situation.
The Ukrainians, however, did expect it. They planned and acted for the worst case – a very sensible military precept. They quietly mobilised their reserves in the weeks leading up to the invasion and prepared defences. They also took on board substantial training and weapon supplies from the US and Britain. People out there are quite clear that had it not been for these preparations and this assistance, it would all have been over in three or four days. As it was, the Ukrainians outnumbered the invaders on ground and in weather suitable for the defence; and fought a classic asymmetric campaign – in the sense that all warfare is asymmetrical as each side seeks to pit its strengths against their opponents’ weaknesses.
“Football unites peoples”, “football erases differences”. How lovely! What a magnificent moral lesson!
In Belgistan there was popular jubilation! After Morocco defeated Belgium in the World Cup, the former’s fans – all Belgian citizens, it goes without saying – took to the streets and decided to set Brussels on fire. Why should “fans” go wild at the victory of their own country’s rival team? How naive we are, in order not to see that what burns is the hatred of a parallel society that has nothing to do with football.
How ironic that in our age of Net Zero we could be about to see the first ever nationwide bans and restrictions on electric cars. As Europe’s energy crisis continues to bite, emergency proposals have been drawn up by the Swiss government to help deal with potential blackouts and electricity shortages. One proposal calls for the use of electric cars to be limited to only essential journeys.
Recently, I posted a video on Canada’s addiction crisis that provoked a strong reaction from all sides.
My message was that everything feels broken, and the government’s approach to addiction policy is top among them. Over the past decade, addiction has become a crisis in Canada. Whether it be the rapid increase in opioid-related deaths, the massive spike in meth use driving rural crime or the overuse of alcohol, which continues to utilize more health care resources than all other narcotics combined, Canadians are suffering.
Everything feels broken.

Democrat Jew-haters are having a deleterious effect on U.S. policy toward Israel and Jewish Americans.
Donald Trump’s dinner last month at Mar-a-Lago with the vile Kanye West, now legally known as “Ye,” and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes has thrust the conversation surrounding anti-Semitism into the national spotlight. Republican lawmakers correctly criticized the get-together, which by most accounts concluded in a heated exchange between Trump and West over the rapper suggesting that the former president join the presidential ticket as his running mate. For their part, Democrat denouncements over the affair included White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre affirming in a Nov. 28 press conference that “this administration, this President totally rejects bigotry, racism, antisemitism.”
Shed your sense of powerlessness, take to the street!” a man calls from a megaphone, his cry echoed by hundreds of demonstrators walking alongside him who repeat the chant. “Germany’s going to the dogs, wake up from your sleep!”
Carrying banners and posters, some with strings of Christmas lights draped around their necks, banging drums, others holding blank pieces of paper out of sympathy with Chinese protesters banned from objecting to coronavirus lockdowns, the participants make their fears and anger known during a one-hour procession through the snow-sprinkled streets of the eastern German city of Halle.
Their main concerns are soaring energy costs – they urge the government to repair and reopen the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Russia – inflation, which is at its highest level for 70 years, and the war in Ukraine, to which they believe Germany should not be contributing weapons.
