On Monday, the 12-person panel found him not guilty – causing progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Chivona Newsome, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Greater New York, to express disdain.
Both painted Penny as a criminal who cheated justice, joining an array of activists, anchors, and politicians in doing so.
A new Ontario auditor general report on the Toronto District School Board provides an insightful overview of many of the issues identified under the toxic reign of now-departed activist education director Colleen Russell-Rawlins.
From underreported bullying and increased violence in TDSB schools to the abuse of sick days and the administration’s powers to investigate principals and vice-principals, it is clear that Canada’s largest school board needs a huge overhaul.
Luigi Mangione suffered a violent meltdown as he arrived at court after being arrested for the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione, 26, could be heard roaring about cops being ‘completely out of touch’ and ‘insulting the intelligence of the American people’ as he was bundled into court by a horde of sheriff’s deputies.
The suspected murderer was clad in an orange jumpsuit and had to be restrained as he was brought in to face a judge at Blair County Courthouse in Altoona, Pennsylvania, around 1:30pm ET Tuesday.
The United Nations’ obvious prejudice against Israel has been demonstrated in numerous ways over the decades. As recently as late last month, a courageous woman from Kenya who serves as the United Nations Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide was fired after she stood up to the Israel-haters in the U.N. and refused to declare that Israel had committed “genocide” in its war against Hamas, as The Wall Street Journal reported.

The comments on X are brutal.
Aye Aye that face hangs a jib!
Welcome to the 3 am rinse the eye and lubricant application hour.
I made THAT CAT take this pic as payback for the bite before feeding him this AM and he responded with his usual enthusiasm. He wants to shred the bath curtain.
The rebel fighters descended the stairs into the gloom. The rhythmic beat of the sledgehammer was the only sound as it increased in speed. Eventually, a small hole appeared in the wall of Bashar al-Assad’s “human slaughterhouse”.
All morning thousands of civilians trudged up the hill to Sednaya, a prison on the outskirts of Damascus where, among the broken glass and discarded documents, they came to find clues to the whereabouts of thousands of Syrians jailed, tortured and killed by the regime.

First Uyghur refugee arrives under Canadian effort to resettle persecuted minority groups from China
A Uyghur woman is the first refugee from China’s persecuted minority groups to arrive in Canada under a federal government resettlement effort launched in 2023.
The Canadian government has committed to bring in Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities who have fled repression in China. This follows from a February, 2023, vote in the House of Commons where MPs voted unanimously in favour of Motion M-62, which called on Ottawa to accept 10,000 Uyghurs and other minorities, and a February, 2021, vote where MPs also backed a declaration that Beijing’s treatment of these people amounted to genocide.
I bet our China class told the boys “here’s a sure fire way to suck up to Xi”. So Justin said to Xi “You got a Muslim problem? Ship em’ to Canada we ALWAYS need more stabby Muslims.”

Shamima Begum’s hopes of returning to the UK have been “bolstered” by the fall of Bashar al-Assad, her lawyer has told The Telegraph.
Begum, one of three schoolgirls who travelled to Syria in 2015 to join Islamic State, has been languishing in a detention camp in north-eastern Syria for at least five years.
Now aged 25, she has lodged a series of legal claims in the UK courts in an attempt to return but has lost on grounds of national security and the threat posed to the British public.
Some things are just a mystery.
A lot of people comment on how low the federal Liberals are in the polls.
On Dec. 8, poll aggregator 338Canada.com showed the Conservatives at 43% and Liberals at 22%. That means almost one in four Canadians think voting for the Liberals under Justin Trudeau is worth it.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg was filmed giggling as she declared “f–k Germany” and “f–k Israel” at an anti-Israel rally in Germany Friday, video shows.
The 21-year-old appeared as a speaker at the demonstration in the southwestern German city of Mannheim, which included a discussion focused on “solidarity with Palestine and the climate movement.”

Speaking at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Trudeau said that’s because Trump’s team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016.
Even still, Trudeau said the answer is not to panic and said Canada can rally together to address the tough scenario the nation will face following Trump’s inauguration in January.
When Donald Trump first visited Paris when President in 2017, he appeared as something of a passing curiosity; the apparent manifestation of America’s inexorable decline, captured in all its spray-tanned vulgarity. Seven years later he has returned to Paris as emperor, crowned by his client kings in none other than the spiritual home of modern Christendom: Notre-Dame. “It was a coronation,” as one European diplomat put it to me, laughing with incredulity at the spectacle.
