Toronto police have identified a woman who died in hospital after she was set on fire last month on a city bus.
Nyima Dolma, 28, of Toronto, died last week after the attack at Kipling station, near Kipling Avenue and Dundas Avenue West, at about 12:25 p.m. on June 17.
Tenzin Norbu, 33, was arrested nearby and charged with attempted murder. That charge has now been upgraded to first-degree murder.
Evidently Tibetan like her assailant.
Disturbing footage has emerged of a toddler cursing and swinging at cops while adults in the background hurled racist slurs in St. Paul, Minnesota, where crime has soared since the killing of George Floyd in 2020.
The footage was recorded last week while police were at a home to serve a search warrant in the hunt for a murder suspect, according to local news outlet Alpha News.
The 30-second clip shows the unnamed boy standing in the street in his underwear, barefoot, screaming: ‘Shut up b***h!’ at a black police officer and telling him to ‘shut the f**k up!’
The head of the French Academy has accused Paris city council of embracing cancel culture by hiding a statue of Voltaire after “meaningless” assertions that the Enlightenment philosopher was a racist.
Hélène Carrère d’Encausse, 93, the perpetual secretary of the academy, which is tasked with safeguarding the French language, believes the council is seeking to appease activists with ill-conceived views of the 18th-century writer, regarded as one of France’s greatest intellectuals.
The family of a student acquitted of smuggling almost £16,000 in her underwear to a suspected member of the Isis “Beatles” hostage-taking gang have accused him of ruining her life as police prepare for his return to the UK within days.
Aine Davis was due to be released yesterday from a maximum security prison in Turkey after serving a 7½-year sentence for being a member of Isis. He will be deported as early as this week.
Labelled the “Fourth Beatle”, he will automatically be arrested and questioned by counterterrorism officers on his arrival.
“Who controls the past controls the future,” writes George Orwell in 1984. “Who controls the present controls the past.” Were he with us today, Orwell would be getting tired of being right all the time, but he has just been proven right again: Thomas Jefferson’s famed mansion Monticello has been turned into a fount of woke propaganda that denigrates Jefferson and treats unsuspecting visitors to an over-the-top orgy of victimhood and white guilt regarding slavery. The Left hates America and wants very much for you to hate it, too.
The left thinks it was too white while the Catholic New Right sees much to admire
There is a war afoot, here in late civilization, over the meaning and legacy of the Middle Ages. Two distinct fronts have emerged from either side of our political spectrum. On the left, in the academy, medievalism is being diversified out of existence, its defining Western characteristics relegating it to a smaller place in a global mosaic. On the right, a certain breed of new conservative is reclaiming the Middle Ages as a keystone period in which order and reason ruled, instead of the swivel-headed “scientism” of pure observation brought on by the Enlightenment.
Western media upheld the CCP’s fabricated success
For the past two years, the Western media has taken that pernicious little term, “Zero Covid”, at face value. While the rest of the world saw rocketing caseloads and death rates, during a key 18-month period China reported two (yes, two) deaths. In a country of 1.4 billion people, and with a disease that scientists find uncannily adapted to infect humans, this was not just obviously false; it was absurd.
The ‘January 6’ hearings are a partisan attempt to bolster a floundering Joe Biden.
The ‘January 6’ hearings have been a literal made-for-TV affair, including one prime-time session produced by famous former television boss James Goldston. They have dominated US mainstream media coverage during mass shooting-free weekdays for the past few weeks.
You will drive nothing and you will be happy.
The term “pedestrian” has a derogatory meaning because peasants walked while nobles were “equestrians” and rode horses. The industrial revolution eliminated this class difference, as it did so many others, by making car ownership available to the masses until eventually Herbert Hoover was able to boast that “Republican prosperity has reduced and increased earning capacity” to “put the proverbial ‘chicken in every pot’ and a car in every backyard to boot.”
Democrats have spent two generations trying to get those cars out of every backyard.
These humanitarian rich feel just terrible about the sins of America, but not terrible enough to sacrifice any element of their privileged lifestyles—the just deserts they feel for being so righteous.
Marie Antoinette, the beheaded wife of the beheaded French Bourbon King Charles Louis XVI, did not really say “Let them cake.”
But in the short time that the French Revolution became utterly unhinged, toxic, and nihilistic, she became nonetheless iconic as an out-of-touch elite who had lived in a make-believe world at Versailles, without a clue (or care?) about the ordeal of the masses.
Europe is facing a huge migration wave from the Middle East and Africa because of the food crisis aggravated by the war in Ukraine, the EU has warned.
Ukraine is one of the biggest grain exporters in the world but production and dispatch have been severely affected by Putin’s barbaric invasion.
Around 20million tonnes of grain from last year’s harvest are blocked in Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea.
… Back in March, as the world was still watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Reuters filed an ominous dispatch from Sri Lanka about the consequences of its government’s attempt to ban the use of artificial fertilizers:
“I cannot recall any time in the past when we had to struggle so much to get a decent harvest,” said [W. M.] Seneviratne, a lean 65-year-old with a shock of silver hair, who has been farming since he was a child.
“Last year, we got 60 bags from these two acres. But this time it was just 10,” he added.
State and local officials will release footage of the Uvalde police response to a school shooting on May 24 that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
The footage will document how cops stood back for 77 minutes as school shooter Salvador Ramos, 18, stalked across the parking lot at Robb Elementary School and broke into the building carrying a rifle.
At a hearing on Monday, ABC News reports, Rep Dustin Burrows, the chairman of the Texas House panel investigating the shooting said the video ‘would contain no graphic images or depictions of violence.
OTTAWA — The Conservative party is bringing in outside lawyers to decide how to respond to appeals from Patrick Brown’s leadership campaign as they seek to have Brown’s disqualification from the race overturned.
