‘Soros prosecutors’ are making US cities uninhabitable again

To Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, what happens between consenting adults is a completely private matter.

In fact, she is challenging the limits of libertarian ideology.

For example, when five gangsters were arrested for holding a public gunfight in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood last week, shooting more than 70 rounds at each other in all, she decided to let them go without charges.

After all, as her office explained to police, it was a quarrel between “mutual combatants !”

Even Chicago’s leftist mayor, Lori Lightfoot, is a bit uncomfortable with this decision.

‘Markets going haywire’: Toronto residents can expect a hike in heating bill, fuel costs as global energy system struggles

Torontonians can expect to pay a premium on their energy bills this winter as prices for North American fuel, natural gas and coal reach heights not seen in years.

Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, projects that gasoline prices at Greater Toronto Area pumps will hit $1.50 per litre in the coming weeks, up 44 per cent from a year ago.

That would be the highest price point for auto fuel anywhere in Ontario since the summer of 2014, when a litre sold for $1.43.

I’m just so grateful to be keeping the Saudi’s afloat.

Wilson-Raybould wasn’t consulted on freeing Catholic Church from residential school compensation deal: source

No one in the federal government is saying who made the final decision to relieve the Catholic Church of its financial responsibilities to residential school survivors.

But a source with direct knowledge of the controversial 2015 case told CBC News that then-minister of justice Jody Wilson-Raybould wasn’t consulted, even though a lawyer in her department signed the final release.

“This is stunning. It’s just unbelievable that the first Indigenous minister of justice was frozen out of a decision like this,” said Tom McMahon, a former general legal counsel for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission who also spent 17 years as a lawyer in the Department of Justice.

2020 Saw Largest Spike In Homicide Rate In 100 Years Says CDC

According to new data put out by the CDC on Wednesday, 2020 saw the largest spike in homicide rates in over one hundred years. Between 2019 and 2020, homicide rates jumped by about 30%, which experts say is one of the largest recorded increases in American history.

In 2020, the homicide rate was about 7.8 homicides per 100,000 people, an increase from roughly 6.0 homicides per 100,000 in 2019.

John Ivison: There are few signs the Prime Minister learns from his mistakes

How many times has Justin Trudeau begged forgiveness for transgressions that would probably have seen him fired in the private sector?

Justin Trudeau’s recognition that he was “in error” when he chose to travel to a beach holiday on the first National Truth and Reconciliation Day rekindles doubts about the prime minister’s judgment that have dogged him his entire political career.

Face it. Justin’s string-pullers remain satisfied. That means they will keep the pinhead in power.

Lebanese-Canadian’s offshore company is accused of shipping mortar shells that have fallen into the hands of ISIS

Lebanese-Canadian businessman Chadi Chaarani says he is a respected entrepreneur with an “impeccable” reputation forged through ventures in Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Over the past year, three banks cancelled his accounts and refused to do business with him amid published allegations that he was involved in an arms deal in which Serbian mortar shells fell into the hands of terrorists.

New details about his alleged role in the deal, buried in the Pandora Papers leak of millions of offshore tax haven documents, show Chaarani was the director of a British Virgin Islands-based shell company alongside a Saudi military official and a U.S. defence contractor.

Ontario reports 587 new Covid cases … and blame Mexico

Ontario reports 587 new COVID-19 infections, 5 more deaths

Ontario is reporting 587 new COVID-19 cases and five more deaths on Thursday as the seven-day rolling average continues to decline.

Today’s case count is up from the 476 infections logged yesterday but down from the 647 cases reported last Thursday.

Get in line, Canada, the U.S. has bigger problems than its closed border

… Throughout the pandemic, COVID-19 deaths per capita in Mexico have been three times higher than in Canada, and Mexico has at points relied on vaccines from Russia and China that are not approved in the U.S. Aside from that, the politics of the U.S. southern land border are always a lightning rod because of immigration and refugee fights that dominate American partisan politics when they flare up, as they have this year.

For reasons of both public health and political optics, reopening the land border to Mexicans now is a potentially explosive issue.

If America’s going to split apart, here’s what will happen to you

When Abraham Lincoln spoke the prophetic words “a house divided against itself cannot stand” — in a speech before the Illinois Republican state convention in 1858 — he was a relatively unknown politician.  He saw the obvious: North and South were hopelessly divided over the issue of slavery — or more fundamentally, states’ rights — and a breakup was all but unavoidable.  This came to pass in just a few years’ time in the form of the Civil War.

An Afghanistan Grows In Wisconsin

Biden didn’t withdraw from Afghanistan. He brought Afghanistan to America.

The skies over Sparta have never been as busy as when the Biden administration decided to dispatch 13,000 Afghans, including at least one pedophile, to Wisconsin.

Sparta, a small town of less than ten thousand souls, whose claim to fame is being the “Bicycling Capital of America”, could only watch as a population of Afghans outnumbering its own population created a new Afghanistan on the premises of Fort McCoy.

Biden administration fights to keep details of CIA torture of detainee secret

The US supreme court is set to hear arguments about the government’s ability to keep what it says are “state secrets” from a Palestinian man who endured brutal torture by the CIA following 9/11 and is now held at Guantánamo Bay.

At the center of the case being heard on Wednesday is whether Abu Zubaydah, who was captured in Pakistan in 2002, can get information related to his detention.

Zubaydah and his lawyer want to question two former CIA contractors about Zubaydah’s time at a secret CIA facility in Poland where they say he was held and tortured.

There will always be bad men in the police

Campaigners against violence need to work out what ‘success’ means

There haven’t been many crimes in recent years as appalling as the murder of Sarah Everard. The horrific details of the case were made public last week, during the trial of Wayne Couzens, the man who raped and killed her; and they are made all the more difficult to stomach by the fact that he was a serving police officer. It’s the abuse of a position of trust that makes this crime particularly chilling.

What’s even more appalling is that Couzens had apparently committed indecent exposure twice: once in 2015 and once three days before Everard’s murder.

Trump-Russia Collusion Narrative Takes Another Stab Wound to the Gut

I feel like this narrative has suffered a death worse than Mussolini. Like him, it’s been stabbed, shot, and mutilated to no end. It’s a myth. It was based on manufactured lies by the Deep State. If you gather the limbs, the entrails, and duct tape it back together, you’ll get what was the Russian collusion hoax. The FBI and others in the DC swamp knowingly used Democrat-funded opposition research as the basis to spread a false narrative about Trump and the 2016 election. It was done because these people didn’t like the fact that Hillary Clinton lost.

When virtue-signalling goes wrong: LGBT rainbow crossings are apparently confusing guide dogs.

Rainbow zebra crossings have spread like an unsightly rash across the world. When one first appeared in the town in which I live, opinion was divided. Well-meaning straight people enthused about ‘inclusivity’ while others harrumphed about ‘PC gone mad’. As for those who were supposed to be represented by the rainbow, most of us were somewhere between bemused and embarrassed – the overwhelming response was ‘why?’.

How left-wing protesters are justified, but angry moms are ‘domestic terrorists’

When is a protester “angry and justified” and when are they a “domestic terrorist”? It all depends on how far left they are.

This week, activists stalked Sen. Krysten Simena into a women’s restroom at Arizona State University, where the senator teaches a class. Angry that she won’t vote for the Democrat’s unprecedented $3.5 trillion reconciliation mega-bill, the protesters filmed her walking into a bathroom stall.
