Most reasonable people would agree that meth-fueled orgies are a bad thing, and that having sex with groups of strangers for days on end should be discouraged. Yet some “harm reduction” advocates have suggested that these orgies should be tolerated, perhaps even celebrated. This demonstrates that the harm-reduction movement is more interested in normalizing drug use than mitigating its negative consequences.
This "South Florida woman" who entered the US illegally in 2005, ignored an order to leave the country, and failed to appear for her immigration hearing, is upset that she is now being fined $1.8 MILLION for breaking the law.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The U.K., France and Canada on Monday threatened “concrete actions” against Israel, including sanctions, for its activities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, calling on Israel to stop “egregious” new military actions in Gaza and immediately allow in humanitarian aid.
The sharply worded statement came shortly after Israel and the United Nations said the first few trucks of aid had entered Gaza after nearly three months of an Israeli blockade, as Israel acknowledged pressure from allies.
The joint statement called Israel’s decision to allow a “minimal” amount of aid into Gaza “wholly inadequate.” There was no immediate Israeli comment.
All they have to do is wear a black tee shirt and jeans. That’s not a big deal.

As a red-blooded American male, I believe that there’s nothing like a good steak (just like the one in the featured image from the estimable VodkaPundit), some fried chicken, pulled pork, or shrimp off the grill. I’m blessed to have several farm stores near me that allow me to get the best quality meat.
President Trump has been playing friends with the Arab Middle East. Although some economic advantages for the USA seem to be coming from this latest visit, this writer is uncomfortable with so much flattery of the Arabs whose commitments are foundationally and inherently unacceptable.
For me, they can keep their trillions of oil money. We should not want to have anything to do with them. They have been nothing but a scourge on the planet for more than 1400 years. Sure, there are some “nice” Arabs (non-murderous, non-terroristic), but the historical momentum of that culture, whether it be Shi’ite or Sunni, is a murderous intention towards Jews and at the very least open contempt/hatred towards non-believers of any ethnicity.

At some Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart stores, you may soon see employees strolling about wearing a new accessory: body cameras. Walmart is also piloting this tech in Canada. They’re compact and sometimes colourful devices that hang from a lanyard like a name tag at a conference. Except instead of sweetly introducing you to a clerk, they introduce the tacit threat of being recorded.
This technology is typically associated with law enforcement, not retail clerks. Though the cameras aren’t always storing video or audio, they can be switched on during “escalations.” It’s a surreal update to the kind of “Karen”-esque supermarket-aisle showdowns you sometimes see on social media, but more importantly, it’s a dark sign of what’s being asked of wage workers in today’s surveillance economy.

As US President Donald J. Trump was being hosted in Saudi Arabia by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of the kingdom, the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen fired another ballistic missile at Israel.
The missile, which flew over Saudi Arabia on its way to Israel, was fortunately intercepted by the Israel Defense Forces before reaching its intended target.
The Houthis, in fact, fired three ballistic missiles at Israel, right over the Crown Prince’s head.
Man who absconded from CAMH has history of murder, violence
The man wanted by police for walking away from a downtown psychiatric ward is responsible for the death of two people — including the 2019 stabbing death of his father.
An Islamist extremist working at one of London’s most famous hospitals has been suspended after being accused of issuing a fatwa-style death threat for blasphemy.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that NHS employee Omar Abdallah Mansuur, 39 – an influential imam – faces claims that he decreed a fellow Muslim should get the death penalty for insulting the Prophet Mohammed.
His broadcast was made to tens of thousands of followers and is thought to be the first time a cleric in Britain has made such a threat.
The Alberta government is launching a new research centre to study the political and economic dynamics between Canada and the United States, as U.S. President Donald Trump‘s trade war and 51st-state rhetoric have upended the previously close relationship between the two countries.
The New North American Initiative, led by the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, will receive $6.5-million over three years from the province. Post-secondary institutions and universities on both sides of the border will share expertise on navigating the new Canada-U.S. landscape.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation.
The court’s order, with only one noted dissent, puts on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month. The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals.
For Finland’s small city of Kouvola, the centre would bring money and jobs. But the social media giant as the tenant poses a political headache for Helsinki
Kouvola needs all the jobs it can get. Young Finns who have not already left a small city so drab it could be stuck in the Soviet Union struggle to find work.
So when an international company called Hyperco announced it would exploit the freezing north’s temperatures and ready access to cold water to build a data centre in the area, there was general acceptance of it being a pretty good thing.
After all, the few million euros paid for a parcel of empty land seemed a good deal for everybody.
