During a guest appearance on ‘The View’ on Wednesday, Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams – once a pro-lifer raised in a religious home – said she supports abortion ‘until the time of birth’ in some cases.
When asked by the show’s new conservative host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, if she believed there should be any limitation on abortion, Abrams said: ‘Viability is the metric and that if a woman’s health or life is endanger then viability extends until the time of birth.’
Mohammed al-Rashed, arrested in Turkey in 2015 and jailed for terrorism and smuggling offences, may be granted political asylum in Canada
The double agent responsible for smuggling Shamima Begum into Syria has been released from jail in Turkey, it emerged on Friday, and may be granted political asylum in Canada.
Mohammed al-Rashed, a Turkish-based double agent working for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) as well as smuggling recruits into Syria for Isil, was freed on August 5, according to sources in Canada.
Syrian Al-Rashed’s role in helping Ms Begum and her two friends into Syria emerged after he was arrested by the Turkish authorities in 2015 and subsequently jailed for terrorism and smuggling offences. It was only then that CSIS told Scotland Yard about its double agent.
A small Dutch town took Twitter to court on Friday to demand the social media company take down all messages relating to a supposed ring of Satan-worshipping paedophiles alleged to have been active in the town in the 1980s.
Bodegraven-Reeuwijk, a town of about 35,000 inhabitants in the middle of the Netherlands, has been the focus of conspiracy theories on social media since 2020, when three men started spreading unfounded stories about the abuse and murder of children they said took place in the town in the 1980s.

“I have always supported Hamas.”
After the fighting between Israel and Hamas in 2012, Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki announced that he wanted to visit Gaza.
“I congratulate Ismail Haniyeh (the Hamas prime minister) on the victory in Gaza,” he said.
Marzouki had previously met with delegations from Hamas and Islamic Jihad. His support for the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group was so blatant that even the PLO had warned him not to come to Gaza. After leaving office, Marzouki boarded the Hamas flotilla invading Israel. When the flotilla was intercepted, Israel deported him. These days, Tunisia doesn’t want him either.
An Ottawa police officer has been charged with misconduct for allegedly donating money to the Freedom Convoy occupation last February.

Canadians who donated to the Ottawa convoy protest contributed more than $460,000 to Conservative leadership candidates — and many of them were donating to a federal political party for the first time — an analysis by CBC News shows.
A comparison of donations to Conservative leadership contenders up to Aug. 1 with the GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign for the convoy protest found over 3,100 people who contributed to both campaigns, based on identical combinations of names and postal codes.
The lion’s share of convoy donors’ leadership campaign donations went to Pierre Poilievre’s campaign.
OMG! Convoy supporters donated! And many were 1st time donors! That must be against the law!

An operative for Canada’s spy agency who once trafficked three British teens to Islamic State militants has been released from a Turkish prison, and the federal government will not say if he has been relocated to Canada.
A source with direct knowledge of the situation told The Globe and Mail that the man, Mohammed al-Rashed, a Syrian human smuggler for the Islamic State who was recruited to spy for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, was freed from prison on Aug. 5. He had been incarcerated in Turkey since 2015 on terrorism and smuggling charges.
Fox News commentators Tucker Carlson and Jesse Watters hit back against woke documentary filmmaker Ken Burns for his tone deaf comparison between sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard and the Holocaust.
Burns, who was making the talk show rounds to tout his three-part series exploring the U.S. action and inaction during the Nazi atrocities during World War II, couldn’t help but see the correlation between the genocide and a political maneuver by Governor Ron DeSantis.

A school district in California is under fire for posting a woke video condemning negative attitudes toward junk food and suggesting people should be less judgmental about food.
The federal government has told United Nations officials that international human rights law does not obligate Canada to actively facilitate the return of its citizens detained in northern Syria.
Ottawa says that instead, the duty of respecting international conventions largely falls on the foreign state that is holding people captive.
Canada spells out its view in an Aug. 24 response to UN officials who pressed Ottawa about the case of Jack Letts.
