Tom Homan Shreds Kathy Hochul Over ‘Tone-Deaf’ Post After Illegal Immigrant Sets Subway Passenger on Fire

Tom Homan, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, did not mince words during a recent interview in which he blasted New York Gov.

Bah, Humbug! Extreme Left Guardian Delivers Christmas Day Carbon Scold

The determinedly left-wing Guardian newspaper came down hard on Christmas Day and adopted an Ebenezer Scrooge tone as it scolded those who celebrate the birth of Christ.

It cautioned Co2 emissions produced by anyone enjoying Yuletide travel, gifts, family time, lighting, and food are destroying the planet and “the whole meaning” of the day itself.

‘It was probably the strongest picture I made’: How Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life became a Christmas classic

In the eight decades since its release, It’s a Wonderful Life has become a sacrosanct part of the holiday period. James Stewart stars as George Bailey, a savings and loans manager who contemplates taking his own life until an angel shows him a vision of how much worse off his town and his loved ones would be if he had never been born. Due to a clerical oversight, the film’s copyright expired in 1974, and the subsequent television broadcasts cemented its reputation as a Christmas classic. And yet, even in 1974, its director Frank Capra was still having to defend it from the charge of being “over-sentimental”.

Just the trailer I’m sorry to say. But a much loved Christmas staple.

Bear Grylls has been labelled ’embarrassing’ after saying Mary was a Palestinian refugee in a Christmas message to his followers.

The 50-year-old explorer took to social media to share ‘a quick historical note’ about ‘Maryam (Mary)’.

He wrote on X: ‘In these next few days billions of us around the world celebrate the birth of a Middle Eastern refugee who, 2,000 years ago, changed the course of the world forever.

Chairman Chow on dealing with Pierre Poilievre, wrestling with Uber — and what’s to come after that historic tax hike

The next federal election looms large on the horizon for Mayor Olivia Chow.

She knows the man who polls predict may become the next prime minister from her own days working in Ottawa.

But whether it’s Pierre Poilievre or someone else who wins power in the nation’s capital, Chow says, it would be unwise of any prime minister to ignore the residents of Canada’s largest city.

Most of Toronto will continue to vote stupid. A city that could elect the likes of Chow deserves every bit of the hardship coming its way.

Hertz Asking EV Renters To Buy Their Cars

Hertz is culling its portfolio of EVs in response to the sharp depreciation affecting some of its most popular models, including the Tesla Model 3. In what appears to be an aggressive effort to offload these vehicles, the rental giant has begun reaching out directly to customers currently renting them, offering an opportunity to purchase the cars outright on the spot.

Manifest Destiny 2.0? Trump wants Greenland, threatens Panama, chides Canada

While president-elect Donald Trump hasn’t declared Manifest Destiny as his rationale for wishing to expand American territory beyond its present boundaries, he very well might.

Readers with even a basic understanding of U.S. history will know about Manifest Destiny — the doctrine that the democratic administration of President James Polk relied on to expand continental U.S. beyond the 26 states of the early 1800s. The rationale marked America’s belief in itself as exceptional — a republic, no longer colonies of a monarchy — destined to expand across the North American continent.

The heart of British democracy is a crime hotspot

LONDON — Westminster is the storied home of British lawmaking — and plenty of lawbreaking too.

Beyond the U.K. parliament itself, the London borough boasts world-famous landmarks such as Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. It’s the site of cherished theaters, vast public parks, glossy tourist attractions, and sturdy government offices dating right back to the days of the British Empire.

But a borough well-used to the pomp and ceremony of a royal procession is also a crime hotspot. It faces the day-to-day grind of muggings, thefts, and street assaults — and the problem shows no signs of getting any better.
