The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) has reached a $850m (£617m) settlement with some 60,000 people over claims of historic sexual abuse.
Lawyers say it will be the largest sexual abuse settlement in US history.
In terms of reported numbers, it dwarves similar complaints made against the Catholic Church in the country.
The BSA has apologised to victims and filed for bankruptcy last year, saying it would set up a compensation trust for victims of sexual abuse.
A judge has ordered the city of Minneapolis to hire more police officers after eight residents sued over a spike in crime they believe is due to the lack of enough law enforcement on the streets.
The hilariously ironic ruling comes a little more than than a year after social justice activists demanded Minneapolis cut – and even completely dismantle – the city’s police department following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after being restrained by a white police officer.
An illegal alien out of jail on bail in New Mexico is now accused of beheading a man and then kicking the man’s head around like a soccer ball, Breitbart News has learned.
Joel Arciniega-Saenz, a 25-year-old illegal alien, was indicted by a grand jury this week after being arrested for allegedly murdering 51-year-old James Garcia in Dona Ana County, New Mexico, the day after Father’s Day.
Sgt. Daniel Perry, a soldier in the US Army, has been charged with murder after killing a BLM protester last summer. This happened during the months of violence and destruction that occurred last year following George Floyd’s death. Cities across the nation were inundated with demonstrations, many of which devolved into rioting.
Boris Johnson today decried the violent mob who celebrated ‘tearing this b**ch down’ as they toppled and desecrated statues of Britain’s Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II during Canada Day protests sparked by the discovery of mass graves of indigenous schoolchildren.
In scenes reminiscent of the BLM protests where a ‘hit list’ of ‘racist’ statues in the US and UK was drawn up for destruction after the murder of George Floyd, the bronze sculptures of Britain’s current monarch and her great-great grandmother in Winnipeg were hauled down, daubed with red paint and even appeared to have been strangled with Mohawk flags.
With no police to be seen anywhere, protesters in orange led by members of the left-wing anti-colonial ‘Idle No More’ group campaigning for Canada Day to be cancelled, tied ropes to the necks of the statues and ripped them to the ground to chants of ‘no to genocide’ and ‘bring her down’ amid fury over the deaths of 1,000 indigenous children found buried in mass graves this month.
A juror has been fined more than $11,000 for googling an ICE officer’s patch during a criminal trial and sharing his findings with his fellow jurors, which resulted in a federal judge declaring a mistrial in the case.
Stephen Meile was part of a jury considering a case to decide whether a legal Nicaraguan immigrant assaulted ICE officers in 2017.
The panel were shown a photograph of the ICE officer’s uniform which had a mysterious patch attached to it, prompting the jurors to question what it signified.
CNN is being mocked for glowing coverage of the Chinese Communist Party’s 100th anniversary and “star” leader Xi Jinping — with critics dubbing it the “Communist News Network” and even “Xi-N-N.”
“The Chinese Communist Party is about to turn 100 but Xi will be the real star,” CNN International tweeted early Wednesday advertising an article with the same headline.
The Liberal government is taking the Speaker of the House of Commons to court to get a judge’s confirmation that it has the legal authority to withhold documents requested by members of Parliament sitting on a Commons committee.
It’s a complex, technical case involving legal precedents dating back to the 1600s. Here are some answers to key questions about this remarkable clash.
More CBC BULLSHIT. The LPC has gone full tin pot dictator.
The last US and Nato forces have left Afghanistan’s Bagram airbase, the centre of the war against militants for some 20 years.
The pull-out could signal that the complete withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan is imminent.
President Joe Biden has said US forces will be gone by 11 September.
But the withdrawal from the sprawling base, north of Kabul, comes as the main jihadist group, the Taliban, advances in many parts of Afghanistan.
TWO members of a vile Rochdale grooming gang are trying to fight deportation claiming it breaches their human rights.
Adil Khan, 51, and Qari Abdul Rauf, 52, raped girls as young as 13 – including one who fell pregnant – as they preyed on vulnerable youngsters.
The detection of human remains in unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in B.C. was not an unexpected discovery, according to the area’s former chief.
On Wednesday, it was confirmed that ground-penetrating radar found 182 unmarked graves in a cemetery at the site of the former Kootenay Residential School at St. Eugene Mission just outside Cranbrook, B.C.
The remains were found when remedial work was being performed in the area to replace the fence at the cemetery last year.
Unmarked graves were found in Trudeau’s hair! We need to burn more churches!
Canada’s public pension fund has invested millions of dollars in companies accused of bolstering China’s military-industrial complex — companies the U.S. government has barred Americans from putting their money into because they allegedly pose a security threat.
The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has invested $3 million in shares of a company that makes components for Chinese warships, and another $2 million in a company affiliated with a manufacturer of fighter jets and unmanned drones, according to its most recent holdings disclosure.
Canada’s former ambassador to China called the pension’s investments troubling.

It’s shaping up to be a long, hot summer, one filled — like Yellowstone Park — with geysers and hot springs ready to blow at any moment. But these are political eruptions, not nature’s fury. If I didn’t know that God has things under control I’d be terrified, but in the interest of keeping track of the truth let’s list the top 10 political eruptions we can expect to blow sometime soon.
