The Biden administration dramatically reduced migrant prosecutions by nearly 80 percent in the 2021 fiscal year, even as illegal crossings skyrocketed.
Just 2,896 migrants apprehended on the southwest border were transferred into U.S. Marshals Service custody in the 2021 fiscal year, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. In the 2020 fiscal year, 13,213 migrants were transferred to federal authorities for prosecution.
Britain, America and the EU are turning their attention away from Kyiv at the worst possible time
The fall of Boris Johnson contributes to Ukraine’s rising peril. His Churchillian support for Ukraine and push for blistering sanctions in the face of a lacklustre response from Joe Biden and heel-dragging in European capitals propelled him to world leadership in the campaign against Russia. None of Johnson’s potential successors are likely to equal his resolve, especially as the domestic economic consequences of the war continue to bite and bite hard.
They’re not clowning around.
The Russian embassy in Switzerland sent a legal threat to a Swiss newspaper after the outlet published a caricature of President Vladimir Putin wearing a clown nose and rainbow streaks across his face, according to reports.
The shift from ad revenue to the pursuit of digital subscriptions has turned journalism into post-journalism.
Public trust in the media has hit an all-time low. Common explanations for this crisis of credibility include bias, polarization, and fake news, but these causes are themselves effects of the tectonic, and generally overlooked, shift in the media’s business model. Throughout the twentieth century, journalism relied for its funding predominantly on advertising. In the early 2010s, as ad money fled the industry, publications sought to earn revenue through subscriptions instead of advertising. In the process, they became dependent on digital audiences—especially their most vocal representatives. The shift from advertising to digital subscriptions invalidated old standards of journalism and led to the emergence of post-journalism.
A recent study into the economic costs of greenhouse gas emissions is raising questions about whether climate litigation between countries is possible.
The analysis out of Dartmouth College in the U.S. found just a handful of countries collectively accounted for trillions of dollars in global income losses from 1990 to 2014.
Speaking to CTV’s Your Morning on Monday, climate and energy program director for the Center for International Environmental Law Nikki Reisch said no single study will prove a legal case on its own, or unleash any “floodgates” of litigation.
Great. Another way for that Horse’s Ass in Ottawa to give away our tax dollars.
The sidelining of Ukraine’s security chief and its prosecutor general by Volodymyr Zelenskiy has renewed questions over Russian intelligence infiltration of key ministries before the war, as well as suggesting divisions among the president’s inner circle of top officials are becoming increasingly public.
After recent anonymous briefings against Zelenskiy’s childhood friend Ivan Bakanov – who had been in charge of the 30,000-strong state security service, the SBU, since 2019 – over claims of failure to counter Russian infiltration, he was abruptly suspended on Sunday along with the prosecutor general, Iryna Venediktova, who had been leading war crimes investigations.
Patrick Brown, who was recently disqualified from the federal Conservative leadership race over allegations of wrongdoing, says he will now run for re-election in the Brampton mayoral race this fall.
Ottawa proposes to cap oil, gas emissions using industry-specific carbon pricing system
Canada aims to cut emissions across all sectors 40 to 45% from 2005 levels by 2030
The federal government is proposing to use an industry-specific cap-and-trade system or a modified carbon pricing system to set a ceiling for emissions from the oil and gas sector and drive them down almost 40 per cent by the end of this decade.
The two options are contained in a discussion paper Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault will publish Monday. It is the first glimpse Canadians are getting of how the Liberals expect to implement the oil and gas emissions cap promised in last year’s election.
Gotta love how the CBC makes it look like Trudeau is fulfilling an election promise the majority wants when he barely held on to a minority government.
On Friday, the Conservative Party of Canada began the tedious process of verifying the largest number of ballots ever received in recent political history in choosing its new leader.
Canada has no way to track the hundreds of millions of dollars of weapons it has donated to Ukraine despite growing concerns such arms could end up on the black market or in the hands of criminals.
The Canadian Forces confirmed it is not taking part in NATO discussions underway to try to deal with the potential issue of arms smuggling from Ukraine.
I bet that means Trudeau’s pals are getting their palms greased.

GREENWOOD, Ind. (AP) — Three people were fatally shot and two were injured, including a 12-year-old girl, at an Indiana mall after a man with a rifle opened fire in a food court and an armed civilian shot and killed him, police said.
The man entered the Greenwood Park Mall on Sunday evening with a rifle and several magazines of ammunition and began firing in the food court, Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison said.
Today in history, on July 16, 1212, an epic battle — which the Islamic State still vows vengeance for — took place between Christians and Muslims, and presaged the demise of Islam in Spain, five hundred years after Muhammad’s followers first invaded and subjugated that nation beginning in 711.
On matters of crime and policing the activist class is painfully out-of-touch.
The police have long had a fraught relationship with Britain’s ethnic-minority communities. Racism, over-policing and social deprivation have historically coalesced to breed a culture of mistrust and suspicion towards the police. Despite the police’s many ongoing problems, when it comes to questions of race matters have improved over the years. As social attitudes have become more liberal, black Britons have moved up the social ladder and the police have become more accountable, structural racism is no longer one of the most significant problems facing the police.
I believe this true for Canada & the US. Race baiting “Activists” seldom share more than skin colour and often not even that with their so called community.
