Kamala Harris Says ‘Consequences‘ Possible if Israel Raids Rafah; ‘I Have Studied the Maps‘

Vice President Kamala Harris said on Sunday that the administration had not ruled out “consequences” for Israel if it defied President Joe Biden and attacked Hamas in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Biden has warned Israel publicly not to attack Hamas in Rafah, due to the presence of large numbers of civilians there, which the terrorist group uses as human shields. Israel says that it cannot win the war without defeating the last four Hamas battalions in Rafah.

There were 108 unfilled family medicine spots out of a total of 560 in Ontario following the first round of this year’s match, up from 103 unclaimed spots last year, according to CaRMS data.

Charity steps in to rehome 300 cats from ‘overwhelmed’ man in Canada

An animal welfare charity in western Canada is scrambling to secure the resources needed to care for about 300 cats – all of them seemingly in good condition – after a call came in from a man who described himself as being “overwhelmed” by the sheer number of cats and kittens in his home.

Bruce Robinson told the British Columbia SPCA that he had taken in cats that had been abandoned during the Covid-19 pandemic but that the cost of caring for them had become a herculean task after he lost his job.

The charity had sent staff to his home in the small town of Houston to assess the situation, said Eileen Drever of the BC SPCA. “When asked how many cats he had, I think he said it was like counting bubbles in boiling water.”

PolitiFact Warns Properly Defining Gender May ‘Lead To Discrimination’

As state legislatures across the country deal with the ramifications of the gender ideology’s movement to redefine gender and differentiate it from sex, PolitiFact’s resident “LGBTQ issues” staff writer Grace Abels warned on Friday that those opposed to this redefinition are persuing bills that will “lead to discrimination.”

For Abels, it is a fact of life that the two words are different, “Today, medical experts understand biological sex assigned at birth as more complex and consider it distinct from gender identity.”
