Pet dog of a homosexual male couple has been confirmed positive for monkeypox in France

A pet dog of a homosexual male couple has been confirmed positive for monkeypox in France in what is believed to be the first recorded case of human-to-dog transmission of the infection.

On June 10, two men, ages 44 and 27, visited a hospital in Paris. The men are “non-exclusive partners living in the same household,” according to an Aug. 10 Lancet study detailing the case. In the 44-year-old, anal ulceration was followed by a vesiculopustular rash on the face, ears, and leg. In the 27-year-old, vesiculopustular rashes were seen on the legs and the back.

Rex Murphy: That sound you hear could be the country fragmenting

The Liberal government’s fixation with Trudeau-style climate action is fracturing Canada

Does it have the authority?

And, if indeed it does have the authority, a question not nearly as clear as the Liberal government believes or presumes, is whether it has the moral and political rights to exercise that authority? Just because something can be done is never the same as it should be done.

JIVANI: Trudeau’s gun-crime policies lack required focus

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems confused about how to fight violent crime. One day he wants to appear tough on crime by banning handguns. The next day he is reducing penalties for gun crimes. He’ll call himself a progressive politician and in the same breath confesses to being the leader of a supposedly racist justice system.

‘Time for us to stand up’: a California county’s fight to secede from the state

Come November, San Bernardino county residents will vote to elect school board members, water officials and state representatives – and whether they want the county to look at breaking away from California.

The expansive county east of Los Angeles, home to 2 million people and some of the state’s beloved Joshua trees, isn’t getting the resources it needs to support its residents, county officials argue. This week the board of supervisors moved to add a measure on the November ballot asking residents if they want the county “to study all options to obtain its fair share of state and federal resources, up to and including secession”.

Ukraine says it has taken out vital bridge in occupied Kherson

Ukraine says it has taken out another bridge that is vital for Russian forces occupying the southern Kherson region.

It says the bridge on the dam at Nova Kakhovka – which it has attacked before – is now impassable. The claim has not been independently verified.

It comes just weeks after the key Antonivsky Bridge was put out of action by Ukrainian forces.

Ukraine is waging a counter-offensive towards Kherson city, which Russia captured in the early days of the war.

A Deal Will Not Stop the Mullahs from Going Nuclear

The Biden administration has spent all its political capital to resurrect the nuclear deal — presumably to perpetuate the idea that a nuclear agreement with the Iranian regime will stop Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, believing that the ruling mullahs of Iran will halt their nuclear advancement with a deal is laughable.

The Iranian regime has even boasted about its shrewd policy of deceiving and misleading the international community during the previous nuclear deal. One of terms of the 2015 nuclear deal, for instance, was that the core of the Arak nuclear reactor would be filled with concrete and disabled. Iran, according to the country’s Fars news agency, claimed that it had poured in the concrete and destroyed the reactor core. The US State Department, during the Obama-Biden administration, confirmed the move as well.

Iran like everyone else knows Biden is enfeebled, they do not fear him. I wonder if Israel will act without White House approval.

Cost of York anti-terror bollards rises to £3.5m

The cost of installing permanent anti-terror bollards in York has risen to £3.5m since the plans were first agreed in 2018.

Sliding and fixed barriers to prevent “hostile vehicle attacks” are to be fitted in the city’s pedestrian area.

An extra £1.75m is needed for the scheme. Councillors blamed inflation and the increased price of steel and concrete for the rise.

Police said it was “an unacceptable risk” not to put measures in place.

Comically Degenerate: Would-be Kavanaugh Assassin a ‘Sissy Slave,’ ‘Trans Gamer Girl’

No surprise that the kinds of people that would attempt to assassinate Supreme Court justices would also be into some pretty depraved things online. Town Hall reported August 10 that the would-be Kavanaugh assassin was, on the website Reddit, “Sophie, the trans gamer girl.” Really.

In investigating Nicholas John Roske, the FBI “identified several Reddit accounts Roske operated in recent years — one of which the suspect used to embrace his transexual “femme” and submissive “sissy slave” persona, according to the search warrant applications filed in federal court,” said TownHall.

WAPO columnist Hyperventilates: ‘The horror of people willing to die for Donald Trump’

On Thursday afternoon, a man whom authorities have identified as Ricky Shiffer was shot and killed in a stand-off with police officers after he allegedly tried to break into a FBI office in Cincinnati. Reports suggest that he may have been motivated by a strong devotion to former president Donald Trump and by anger at the FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

People are willing to die for their nation, not Trump. Trump was making it possible to feel proud of America again and that’s where the loyalty begins and ends.

No one is willing to die for Biden and few regard him as fit for the job.

The US armed forces are short on recruitment goals by a long shot under Biden’s woeful tenure.

Poilievre Panic #3 – Poilievre’s spirit hung over Centre Ice Conservatives like Banquo’s ghost

Jack Mintz: Poilievre’s spirit hung over Centre Ice Conservatives like Banquo’s ghost

In William Shakespeare’s famous play, Macbeth is distressed by the appearance of Banquo’s ghost at a banquet for Scottish Thanes. This image played in my mind as a non-partisan panelist during the Centre Ice Conservatives conference held Thursday. It is not that anyone was a Macbeth murdering his rival, Banquo, to gain power. It is simply that the attendees are disturbed that their favourite candidate for the Conservative leadership, Jean Charest, is unlikely to win the Conservative leadership. Pierre Poilievre’s name was hardly mentioned but his spirit hung over the conference like Banquo’s ghost.

Gun used to shoot Halyna Hutchins on Rust film set could not have been fired without pulling the trigger says FBI contradicting Alec Baldwin

The gun used in the fatal shooting on the “Rust” movie set could not have been fired without pulling the trigger, according to an FBI forensic report obtained Friday by ABC News.

Actor Alec Baldwin shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western, which he was producing and starring in, last year. The actor believed he was handling a “cold gun” — one without live ammunition — when it went off and a live bullet struck Hutchins, killing her. The film’s director, Joel Souza, was also wounded in the shooting.

How Domestic Violence Spilled Over Into Albuquerque Terror

As more details emerge about the criminal history of Muhammad Syed, 51, charged in the murders of two Muslim men in Albuquerque, and a prime suspect in the killing of two more, the family of one of the victims has blamed police for not intervening sooner.

Sharief Ahmadi Hadi, the brother of murder victim Mohammad “Zahir” Ahmadi, says that prime suspect Syed regularly harassed his family and slashed the tires of his wife’s car in the years before his brother’s murder. Hadi says he believes Syed targeted his family because they are Shiite Muslims.
