Is Zelensky undercounting Ukraine’s death toll?

On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. He further reported 370,000 cases of battlefield medical assistance for the wounded, though he stressed that “approximately half of the soldiers wounded in action are later returning to the battlefield”, and that the data includes “light or repeat injuries”.

WARMINGTON: Next date in Battle of Emo between mayor and Pride is on Friday The 13th

The Battle of Emo and the horror show between Pride activists and a defiant mayor is set to come to a head on Friday The 13th.

That’s when the five-member township council, located in Northern Ontario, is expected to announce its decision on how to move forward in its war with Borderland Pride which not only won a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) ruling but also won a $10,000 penalty from the town and $5,000 from the mayor, which he has already had garnished from his bank account.

In one year, six Canadian minors arrested or restricted for “Mystery” terrorism-related offences

Good Riddance, Christopher Wray

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced on Wednesday that he would step down from the nation’s premier law enforcement agency in January.

“After weeks of careful thought, I’ve decided the right thing for the Bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in January and then step down,” Wray told agency employees at an internal town hall. “My goal is to keep the focus on our mission — the indispensable work you’re doing on behalf of the American people every day. In my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work.”

Another conspiracy proven fact!

The Postal Service’s electric mail trucks are way behind schedule

So crappy it doesn’t want to be built!

Defense contractor Oshkosh had only delivered 93 trucks by November — compared to 3,000 originally expected by now. The delays put Biden’s climate goals at risk.

A multibillion-dollar program to buy electric vehicles for the U.S. Postal Service is far behind its original schedule, plagued by manufacturing mishaps and supplier infighting that threaten a cornerstone of outgoing President Joe Biden’s fight against climate change.

The Postal Service is slated to purchase 60,000 “Next Generation Delivery Vehicles,” or NGDVs — mostly electric — from defense contractor Oshkosh, which has a long history of producing military and heavy industrial vehicles, but not postal trucks. Congress provided $3 billion for the nearly $10 billion project in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, one of Biden’s chief legislative accomplishments.

“Next Generation Boondoggle” is more like it.

‘Executed, Executed, Dead From Sickness’: The Grim Records From Syria’s Notorious Prison

SAYDNAYA, Syria—Syrians searching for missing loved ones are combing the grounds of the country’s most notorious prison, rifling through lists of detainees and chipping at the concrete floor looking for hidden cells or tombs.

Civilians, militia soldiers, lawyers and a rescue team from Turkey picked through heaps of clothes left in the cellblocks of the military-run Saydnaya prison, and stared at the red rope nooses hanging from a concrete wall behind the building. As many as 50 people were hanged each day in the prison, the State Department said in 2017.

Tens of thousands of people disappeared into the country’s sprawling detention network since the regime of President Bashar al-Assad moved to suppress a 2011 uprising. Rebels opened Saydnaya on Sunday after ousting Assad, freeing detainees and allowing the public to look for the missing.

Mysterious New Jersey drones appear to avoid detection by traditional methods

The large mysterious drones reported flying over parts of New Jersey in recent weeks appear to avoid detection by traditional methods such as helicopter and radio, according to a state lawmaker briefed on Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security.

In a post on the social media platform X, the assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6ft in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. The Morris county Republican was among several state and local lawmakers who met with state police and homeland security officials to discuss the spate of sightings that range from the New York City area through New Jersey and westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia.

The devices do not appear to be being flown by hobbyists, Fantasia wrote.

Drones, Dogs, Drug Labs: Canada’s Plan to Avoid Trump’s Tariffs Takes Shape

Canada is working on a broad plan, including drones and police dogs, to address concerns raised by President-elect Donald J. Trump about the shared border between the two nations, underscoring the urgency of avoiding threatened tariffs that would send its economy into meltdown.

Mr. Trump has made it clear that he expects America’s neighbors to keep undocumented migrants and drugs from entering the United States.

In a closely watched meeting between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada and the leaders of the country’s provinces on Wednesday, Mr. Trudeau and senior members of his government said that they would come up with measures to fortify the border.

Zero faith in the Trudeau government.

Forbes: ‘Clean’ energy powered by ‘dirty’ means

The left is entirely paradoxical, and nowhere is that more obvious than the “clean” energy narrative, a truth so inconvenient that even Forbes just published a new report exposing the disconnect: “Is Clean Energy Powered By Dirty Batteries?”

Spoiler alert: Yes, that’s exactly what keeps the industry going… along with “dirty” oil, “dirty” mining, and “dirty” human slavery…

‘You Shot How Many Times? At What Range?’ House Releases Shocking Report on Trump Assassination Attempts

The House Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump released its final report on Tuesday. The report covers the July 13 wounding of President-elect Trump at Butler, Pennsylvania, and the September 15 assassination attempt in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The report paints a picture with which we are sadly familiar. The Secret Service’s actions in Butler, in particular, reek of complacency and privilege. Basic principles, like “communication” and “unity of command,” were totally absent. The elementary principles of tactical operations — reconnaissance, planning, control, and security — were tossed to the winds.

Nearly half of Canadians favour mass deportations and 65% think there are too many immigrants: poll

Nearly half of all Canadians believe that mass deportations are necessary to stop illegal migration, new polling shows.

A Leger poll done for the Association for Canadian Studies found that 48 per cent of Canadians hold that view — just once percentage point shy of Americans polled who, with the election of Donald Trump, could see such a policy enacted when he assumes office next year.

Ontario bill aimed at ending encampments to strengthen trespass, drug penalties

Premier Doug Ford’s government is introducing new legislation that it says will give municipalities and police services legal tools to dismantle homeless encampments and crack down on public drug use with fines or jail time.

Ford announced the pending legislation at a news conference Thursday morning, the last day the legislature will sit before leaving for winter break.

“These encampments are taking over public spaces, with illegal drug use happening out in the open,” Ford said. “Enough is enough, this has to stop and it will stop.”

Trump to Europe: Overseeing a Ukraine Cease-Fire Would Be Your Job

The outlines of President-elect Donald Trump’s initial efforts to end the war in Ukraine from his visit to Europe last week are starting to emerge for the first time. The main takeaway: Europe would have to shoulder most of the burden of supporting Kyiv with troops to oversee a cease-fire and weapons to deter Russia.

At a meeting in Paris on Dec. 7, Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron that he doesn’t support Ukrainian membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but that he wanted to see a strong, well-armed Ukraine emerge from any cessation of fighting, according to officials briefed on the meeting.

Trump said that Europe should play the main role in defending and supporting Ukraine and that he wanted European troops present in Ukraine to monitor a cease-fire, according to the officials. He hasn’t ruled out U.S. support for the arrangement, although no U.S. troops would be involved, the officials said.
