Biden Administration Funds Anti-Israel Curricula, Hate Messages

The Biden administration has decided to resume financial aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), even though the agency’s school books continue to incite violence and erase Israel’s existence from their maps. This means that US taxpayer money, thanks to the Biden administration, is now once again going directly to an international agency that promotes messages of hate against Israel and denies its right to exist.

The resumption of the financial aid to UNRWA will also help to perpetuate the problem of the Palestinian refugees and their descendants.

So then does Trudeau.

The country where having a pet could soon land you in jail

“He looks at me with his innocent and beautiful eyes. He is asking me to take him out for a walk, but I don’t dare. We will get arrested.”

Mahsa, who has a dog, is referring to a new wave of arrests of pet owners and seizures of their animals in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Police there recently announced that walking dogs in parks was a crime. The ban was justified as a measure to “protect the safety of the public”.

‘It’s a mess and I’ve never seen anything like it’: global lost luggage crisis mounts

When Jenn Choi packed her and her family’s bags she feared for the worst. After hearing horror stories of checked airline luggage going permanently missing, she purchased tracking devices for her suitcases to ensure she would not have to rely on a critically understaffed aviation industry facing what could be its worst meltdown in history.

Lo and behold, all three of the bags containing the possessions of the self-help coach, her husband and their one-year-old child remained almost 10,000km (6,200 miles) away in Germany when they arrived in Cancun, Mexico, last week.

CONCERNS as CONVOY-CONNECTED group establishes in Ottawa neighbourhood

The stark red banners hanging from St. Brigid’s church on Saint Patrick Street are nearly impossible to miss; the white insignia of a tree adorned with maple leaves offering neighbours little indication as to who is behind the new developments at the deconsecrated church.

The group is known as The United People of Canada, a self-described federally incorporated “not-for-profit social enterprise organization.”

Corporate documents show three members on the group’s board of directors: Kimberley Ward, William Komer, and Diane Nolan.

I like how they canvas a guy named Mohamed for his degree of “concern.”

Suspicions of anti-Poilievre plotting grow

Centre Ice Conservatives says it wants to bring Conservatives on the centre or centre-right of the political spectrum together

The main organizers of a conference of moderate Conservatives meeting in Edmonton next month to discuss policy ideas say the initiative is harmless. Others aren’t so sure, and see it as an effort that could potentially undermine presumed frontrunner Pierre Poilievre’s leadership.

Centre Ice? More like Liberal Party 2.0.

Ukraine graft concerns resurface as Russia war goes on

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s dismissal of senior officials is casting an inconvenient light on an issue that the Biden administration has largely ignored since the outbreak of war with Russia: Ukraine’s history of rampant corruption and shaky governance.

As it presses ahead with providing tens of billions of dollars in military, economic and direct financial support aid to Ukraine and encourages its allies to do the same, the Biden administration is now once again grappling with longstanding worries about Ukraine’s suitability as a recipient of massive infusions of American aid.

Doug Ford to give greater, U.S.-style powers to mayors of Toronto and Ottawa

The dramatic change would dilute the influence of municipal councillors in Ontario’s two largest cities, ensuring far more authority for the mayors over financial matters and appointments.

Premier Doug Ford is poised to give U.S.-style “strong-mayor” powers to the cities of Toronto and Ottawa, the Star has learned.

The dramatic change would dilute the influence of municipal councillors in Ontario’s two largest cities, ensuring far more authority for the mayors over financial matters and appointments.

Ford, long a proponent of mayors having greater clout than councillors, wants the Toronto and Ottawa chief magistrates empowered to oversee budgets and act unilaterally if need be.

Just imagine if Rob was still Mayor… unfortunately that isn’t the case and these new powers may accelerate Toronto’s collective suicide.

Trudeau blames Russia for exposing him as the lying hypocrite that he is

Trudeau: Russia is trying to ‘divide’ western allies over turbine issue

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is standing behind Canada’s decision to send repaired Russian turbines back to Germany — despite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s assertion that the move violated sanctions.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trudeau said the decision to return the turbine was “difficult” but “right.”

“Russia will not succeed in either weaponizing its energy or dividing our allies amongst ourselves. We are focused on being there to support Ukraine,” he said.

Junior made his choice, a bad one as usual and it still won’t help his German Globalist buddies a bit.

Germany worries about gas rationing as supply from Russia halted

Germans are fretting about the coming winter freeze even while Europe sweats in record temperatures, amid uncertainty over whether a complete stopping of Russian gas deliveries would force energy rationing on private households as well as industry.

Who’s in your wallet: Inflation jumps to 8.1 per cent in Trudopia – highest since 1983

The cost of living keeps on skyrocketing.

According to new data from Statistics Canada released Wednesday morning, the Consumer Price Index — the main measure of inflation — hit 8.1 per cent in June.

That’s higher than the 7.7 per cent figure seen in May, and is the highest since January, 1983.

Confidence in Law Enforcement to Prevent Mass Shootings Plummets

A new poll from Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group shows Americans no longer trust local and federal law enforcement to stop mass shootings. This outcome should be no surprise after a long string of mass shootings where law enforcement knew the perpetrator before the tragedy.

With monkeypox spreading globally, many experts believe it can’t be contained

It has been a mere nine weeks since the United Kingdom announced it had detected four cases of monkeypox, a virus endemic only in West and Central Africa. In that time, the number of cases has mushroomed to nearly 13,000 in over 60 countries throughout Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, new parts of Africa, South Asia, and Australia.

The growth in cases and the geographic spread has been rapid and relentless.

These farmers are fighting for us all: We are witnessing a global revolt against the irrationalism of the elites.

This strange, sunny week has provided the best proof yet that the West’s elites have taken leave of their senses. That they have fully retreated from reason, and from reality itself. As farmers and workers across the world continue to rise up against the tyrannical consequences of climate-change alarmism, what are the elites doing? Engaging in yet more climate-change alarmism. Wringing their hands over the hot weather and its forewarning, as they see it, of the manmade heat-death of the planet that is apparently just around the corner. They continue to peddle the very politics of eco-dread that is whacking farmers and the working class and storing up problems for us all.

Putin flies to Iran to cement new anti-West alliance

Both Russia and Iran are under massive international sanctions, both are ruled over by men with near-unlimited powers — and both view the West as an evil, corrupting force. President Putin will find much that is familiar when he arrives in Tehran tomorrow for talks aimed at boosting ties between the two amid the war in Ukraine.

Vatican tells its money men: you’re banned from investing in guns and porn

The Vatican will not invest in pornography or weapons under a new ethical investment policy that is part of Pope Francis’ efforts to clean up the Catholic Church following a series of scandals.

While there is no suggestion the Vatican currently has money in porn or other unholy industries, the new rules are an attempt to establish tougher principles and oversight in Vatican finances, where management has been chaotic and amateurish.

Gun permits based on political views. It’s on the horizon for many Americans.

That’s because left-wingers in California, a trend-setting state, have cooked up a new way to stop Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, moderates, and anyone else who refuses to toe the politically correct line from defending themselves from the crime wave that their policies have unleashed on America.
