Naked outrage from the left over surrendered Hamas terrorists in their underwear

In today’s ‘oh spare us’ news, the left is having an absolute cow over Israeli troops flushing out Hamas terrorists from their snake holes and then forcing them to strip down to their underwear to prove to that yes, they were surrendering, and no, they didn’t have a gun in their pants or a shiv in their shoes, or a strap-on bomb in their pocket, or a dynamite pack in some orifice, which is a pretty standard military safety precaution.

This cartel gunman meets a gruesome end at the hands of machete wielding villagers.

A clash between gunmen from a criminal gang and residents of a small farming community in central Mexico left 14 people dead and seven injured, local authorities said on Saturday.

AstraZeneca vaccine linked with ‘spike’ in cases of rare disease that can paralyse victims

Scientists have drawn a link between the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and a “spike” in cases of a rare disease that can leave its victims paralysed.

Three separate studies reported an increase in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) shortly after the roll out of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

GBS is a potentially deadly condition in which a person’s immune system attacks their nerves and gradually paralyses victims from the feet upwards. While most patients recover, it can be life-threatening or permanently debilitating.

Rachel Cook said she approached staff at law student services Tuesday after noticing Christmas trees, garlands and other seasonal decorations around a campus lounge. She offered to provide an electric menorah to mark Hanukkah and supplement another menorah lit on campus Thursday.

Once They Were Pets. Now Giant Goldfish Are Menacing the Great Lakes.

Released into the wild, the humble goldfish can grow to a monstrous size and destroy habitats for native species. Canadian researchers are tracking the fish, so that they might be culled.

Inside a fishbowl, the goldfish — a species of carp native to East Asia, bred for aesthetic delight and traditionally believed to bring good fortune — is hardly more than home décor. Usually just a few inches long, it is among the easiest of pets to keep.

But released into the wild, the seemingly humble goldfish, freed from glass boundaries and no longer limited to meager meals of flakes, can grow to monstrous proportions. They can even kill off native marine wildlife and help destroy fragile and economically valuable ecosystems.

A decision by Canada’s largest government workers’ union to donate $50,000 to two Gaza-based charities is raising the ire of some members, who say they’re fed up with funding politically-charged causes while concerns among their membership go unaddressed.

Late last month, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) announced two $25,000 donations supporting two Gaza-based charities : The Palestinian Red Crescent Society, and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA.)

Canada Bread denies price-fixing scheme in court filing, points finger at Maple Leaf

The bread supplier that admitted to price-fixing earlier this year says in new court filings that any anti-competitive behaviour it participated in was at the direction and to the benefit of its then-majority owner Maple Leaf Foods.

In a statement of defence for a class-action lawsuit alleging a bread price-fixing scheme, Canada Bread Co. Ltd. denied participating in a “lengthy, wide-ranging conspiracy” to fix the price of bread. It also denied profiting from the alleged conspiracy, or from the price increases it pleaded guilty to participating in as part of the Competition Bureau’s investigation.
