Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Says People Charged With Violent Crimes Are Guilty Because Prosecutors Say So

“When those charges are brought, these people are guilty,” Lightfoot said.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has repeatedly blamed bail reforms and local judges for exacerbating gun violence by releasing defendants back onto the streets, but on Monday she took her rhetoric a step further, saying that people charged with violent crime should be kept in jail because only guilty people get charged with violent crimes.

The comments, first reported by the Chicago Tribune, were part of a longer harangue against the Cook County courts and bail reform efforts.

US soldier investigated for ‘insider attack’ on Syrian base

Pentagon says placement of ‘explosive charges’ that wounded four American personnel may have been carried out by rogue agent

The United States military is investigating whether one of its own soldiers detonated explosives in an insider attack on a Syrian base in which four American servicemen were wounded.

US army and air force investigators have identified a US service member as the “possible suspect” responsible for explosions at the Green Village base in eastern Deir ez-Zor province on April 7 that was initially believed to have been caused by an insurgent attack.

Can America Prevent a Chinese Invasion of Taiwan?

During his maiden Asian visit to Japan and South Korea, President Joe Biden reiterated in Tokyo on May 23 that the United States would intervene militarily if China attempted to invade Taiwan by force. His repeated warning appeared to depart from the long-lasting “policy of ambiguity” employed by Washington. In Japan, the U.S. president added that the United States had made a commitment to “support the One China policy” in the past, but Beijing does not have the “jurisdiction to go in and use force to take over Taiwan.” He then compared the Russian invasion of Ukraine to a potential invasion of Taiwan by China and warned “it will dislocate the entire region” and emphasized that China—like Russia—would pay a long-term price for its actions. In essence, Biden’s message is crystal clear: the United States would engage in stronger military action to defend Taiwan against China than it has in Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

The trial of America’s progressive prosecutors

Chesa Boudin has been mugged by reality

“Getting here was the easy part,” Chesa Boudin said in a victory speech after his 2019 election to the position of San Francisco district attorney. Three years later, despite presiding over a steep descent into lawlessness in the city on the bay, the progressive prosecutor might be about to prove himself right — though not in the way he had hoped.

Confirmed: Media Matters is a garbage place

A former researcher reveals it’s plagued by corruption

Timothy Johnson, a “researcher” with Media Matters for America, announced Monday that he had left the organization after ten years — and apparently not on amicable terms.

Johnson not only accused his former boss of covering for a sexual predator, but offered a rare mea culpa for his time with Media Matters. Maybe — just maybe — he notes, the organization dedicated to using out-of-context quotes, spurious accusations, and old tweets to destroy the livelihoods of its political enemies is not the virtuous place he thought it to be.

The mad, bad and sad world of gender ideology

Matt Walsh’s What is a Woman? exposes the delusions of the trans lobby.

‘Does a chicken have a gender identity? Does a chicken cry? Does a chicken commit suicide?’, coos Michelle Forcier, a consultant paediatrician at Hasbro Children’s Hospital, Rhode Island. These strange questions are not part of some surrealist theatrical performance – they are responses to conservative commentator Matt Walsh, in his new documentary, What is a Woman?.

In the film, Walsh travels the world asking a range of people, from leaders in the field of transgender medicine to members of the Maasai tribe in Kenya, to define the word ‘woman’. Tellingly, it is the Western gender experts who are unable to give a straight answer.

Here’s a nice video to share for #PrideMonth. I spoke to an African tribe about transgenderism. The Left claims that traditional cultures have fluid notions of gender. That’s… not exactly what I found.

Eco-preachers Harry and Meghan are accused of ‘enormous hypocrisy’ for taking $200,000 flight back from Jubilee to LA in private jet

Harry and Meghan have been accused of ‘enormous hypocrisy’ after flying back to California from the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in a ‘Russian oligarch-style’ private jet.

The eco-preaching Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to their £11million Montecito mansion with their children Archie and Lilibet on a gas-guzzling Bombardier Global 6000 before the grand finale of the Jubilee pageant even began on Sunday.

Bombardier is an ‘ultra long range’ 13-passenger private jet which comes with its own ‘private stateroom’ that features a flatbed and can travel more than 6,000 miles without stopping. It is not clear who paid for the £160,000 flight.

Pity as I used to like Harry.

Sabrina Maddeaux: The indefensible Liberal plan to search your phone on a whim

This week, Toronto’s Pearson International Airport went viral for all the wrong reasons when former NHL player Ryan Whitney described it as “the worst place on Earth.” Many recent travellers would agree. It appears the airport is running a not-so-limited promotion where all fares include a tour through the nine circles of hell.

But if you think hours-long security and customs delays, passengers held on planes for hours without food or water, staffing shortages and cascading flight cancellations are bad now, just wait until border agents can search through your phone and laptop based on nothing more than “reasonable general concern.”

Overturn of Roe v. Wade Will Create Surge In Witch Recruits Say Experts

How to make a thousand witches with one Supreme Court decision

… In her new book “In Defense of Witches,” French journalist Mona Chollet suggests women have come to embrace the epithet. Take, for example, a 1960s radical feminist group named W.I.T.C.H. — the Women’s International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell — to capitalize on this ideology. “The witch embodies woman free of all domination, all limitation,” Chollet writes. “She is an ideal to aim for; she shows us the way.”

It is this legacy of independence and social defiance that sits at the heart of modern witchcraft and led to its rebirth into a modern, and increasingly popular, alternative religion.

A Canadian to an American Friend: You Think You Have It Bad?

An American friend writes me that conditions in her country could not be worse. The good are increasingly persecuted and abused by the bad and the ugly. I reply that, yes, Americans think they have it bad — and they do. But if they want to see how far and fast the dregs of the so-called “social order” can rise to the top and the best sink to the bottom, I invite them to visit Canada.

Geoff Russ: The anti-Doug Ford left takes cues from the U.S. alt-right

In the aftermath of Ontario’s provincial election, unfounded accusations of voter fraud and other alleged plots have emerged across the internet. Within hours of the polls closing, Ontario Liberal and NDP supporters took a page from the alt-right’s playbook, and began spreading conspiracy theories to delegitimize the democratically re-elected Progressive Conservative government.

Johnny Depp’s Court Victory Deflates The Massive ‘Believe All Women’ Industry

FAIRFAX, Va. — Inside Courtroom 5J here in Fairfax County Circuit Court, actress Amber Heard walked out of the courtroom alone last week, grim and stone-faced, after a jury delivered a stinging verdict. In a statement posted on Instagram, her ex-husband Johnny Depp wrote: “Veritas numquam perit. Truth never perishes.”

The verdict wasn’t just against Heard for defaming Depp. It was a searing indictment of a sorry chapter in American justice: the illogical, unjust “Believe Her” industry that made Heard a poster girl for a corrupt movement determined to crush men and stamp out a keystone of our civil liberties.
