The city of Portland, Oregon has set a new record for the number of homicides in a year, having already registered 67 homicides so far this year.
Portland’s record for total homicides in a year previously stood at 66, which was set in 1987.
Oregon’s largest city has seen more than 1,000 shootings in 2021 with 314 bystanders injured by bullets. Firearms have accounted for three-quarters of homicides.
Planeloads of underage migrants are being flown secretly into suburban New York in an effort by President Biden’s administration to quietly resettle them across the region, The Post has learned.
The charter flights originate in Texas, where the ongoing border crisis has overwhelmed local immigration officials, and have been underway since at least August, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Military police say that the lack of charges against Admiral Art McDonald does not mean the allegation of sexual misconduct made against the former top military commander was unfounded.
In a media statement issued today, the Canadian Forces provost marshal stated that the “allegation of sexual misconduct against Admiral McDonald” did not lead to charges because of “insufficient evidence.”
“This does not mean that the allegation was unfounded, which is defined by Statistics Canada as, ‘After a police investigation it is concluded that no violation of the law took place nor was attempted,'” the statement continued.
A soon-to-be-released book written by corruption expert Frank Vogl, the founder of Transparency International and a former World Bank official, excoriates Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government over the 2018 SNC-Lavalin scandal.
In “ The Enablers : How the West Supports Kleptocrats and Corruption — Endangering Our Democracy,” Vogl argues that western politicians must take greater responsibility. “For example, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lost the shine on his public image when in 2018 he intervened in the prosecution by the Justice Department into alleged bribery by one of Canada’s largest engineering companies, SNC-Lavalin. Trudeau got off too lightly,” Vogl writes.
Touting the benefits of the US transition from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles at a meeting with the Mexican president, US climate envoy John Kerry said the move would boost the Latin American country’s auto industry.
Kerry, US President Joe Biden’s special climate envoy, has argued that Mexico would profit if Biden accomplishes his far-reaching goal to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles.
EDMONTON — Voters in Calgary, Alberta’s largest city, appear to have cast their votes in favour of removing equalization from Canada’s constitution, according to unofficial results in the province’s referendum on equalization payments.

SUB MUTANT New Delta subvariant that’s ‘spiking in UK’ could be 10% more infectious – as cases hit three-month high
A NEW subvariant of the Delta strain is on the rise in the UK – that could be up to ten per cent more infectious.
The spike in cases of AY.4.2 has been picked up in Britain, with a slice of the country’s growing infections due to the subvariant.
The former US Commissioner of Food and Drugs Scott Gottlieb called for an urgent investigation into the rise.
He called it “Delta plus”, which was a name given to an earlier separate strain, but tweeted: “UK reported its biggest one-day Covid case increase in three months just as the new delta variant AY.4 with the S:Y145H mutation in the spike reaches 8% of UK sequenced cases.
After the election of Donald Trump, there was a rise in hate crime hoaxes. Note: I did not say hate crimes. The crimes supposedly committed by right-wing Trump-supporting thugs were actually hoaxes. We are all familiar with the attempted lynching of Brett Kavanaugh. Many of us were appalled at the attack on Nick Sandmann. In my opinion, though, the most egregious of the anti-Trump hate crimes was perpetrated by Jussie Smollet back in 2019.
The new government of Afghanistan, run by the Muslim fanatics of the Taliban, has called on international donors to rescue the country from a “dire” situation. A report on this latest call for undeserved support is here: “UN: World Should Send Pledged Aid to Afghans to Avert Economic, Refugee Crisis,” Algemeiner, October 9, 2021:
The world should urgently provide promised aid to Afghanistan, the UN refugee agency said on Saturday, warning that a lack of resources is hampering efforts to avert an economic crisis that could push fresh flows of refugees to its neighbors and beyond.
But why is there a lack of resources, given that the Americans plowed more than a trillion dollars into the Afghan economy over two decades? What happed to all that money?
Protestors at this weekend’s demonstrations in Milan had little hope
“Giu le mani dai bambini” (“Keep your hands off the children”)
“Educare alla libertà” (“Educate for freedom”)
“Studianti e operai nella lotta contro il green pass” (“Students and workers in the fight against the green pass”)
These were some of the slogans on display at this weekend’s anti-green pass protests in Milan, Italy. Protests were nationwide, but here at the Arco della Pace an unusual cross-section of students, blue collar workers and parents had marched here through the gates of the Castello Sforzesco to make one last stand against the green passes.
The police refused to allow a Catholic priest to purify Amess’s soul. This is the inhumanity of bureaucracy.
Everything about the murder of David Amess is grim. One detail feels particularly bleak. Amess, a devout Catholic, was denied the Last Rites. A Catholic priest and friend of Amess – Fr Jeff Woolnough – arrived at the scene in Leigh-on-Sea not long after the stabbing took place. He asked to be allowed through so that he could perform the Last Rites ritual. But the police said no. They later said it was important that they ‘preserve the integrity of [the] crime scene’. The priest, with his holy oils and his plan to administer the sign of the cross to the dying man, was clearly judged to be a threat to that integrity.
Nine Scottish elementary schools have embraced a pilot plan to deploy facial recognition technology to verify children’s school lunch payments, insisting the system is faster and more hygienic, while dodging the privacy issue.
A group of nine schools in North Ayrshire has begun scanning students’ faces to record school lunch payments, praising the new high-tech system for speeding up the transaction process and minimizing physical contact between individuals. The program officially began on Monday, replacing the schools’ previous system of card-swiping and fingerprint scanning.
Some Seattle police officers are hanging ‘don’t tread on me’ Gadsden flags from their cruisers to protest a citywide vaccine mandate that takes effect at midnight Monday.
Seattle’s ordinance – which aligns with county- and state-wide mandates also taking effect October 18 – requires all city employees to show proof of inoculation or risk losing their jobs.
As of Monday, just 24 – or two percent – of Seattle Police Department officers had not shown proof of inoculation, a city spokesperson told Dailymail.com.
For the past year-and-a-half, “police reform” has been at the center of public debate. After President Joe Biden and leftist Democrats took power, the radicals reintroduced their legislation to “reimagine” policing — the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
We were told that it was of momentous importance, yet three weeks ago, when it was announced that Senate negotiations had failed and the bill was finished, the overall reaction from the left was general indifference. Ruling class media expressed perfunctory outrage for a day or two, and then the issue disappeared. Why?
When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lied about his itinerary and then jetted off with his family to surf in Tofino, B.C., on the inaugural National Day of Truth and Reconciliation — the federal holiday he initiated — he later said he regretted it.
