Germany’s appeasement of Islamists has got to stop

What was Berlin’s chief of police thinking, when she warned Jews and gay people to hide their identities in certain parts of the city?

In an interview last month in the Berliner Zeitung, Barbara Slowik said: ‘There are areas of the city, we need to be perfectly honest here, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly gay or lesbian to be more careful.’ She also said that while she didn’t want to blame any one group for this, ‘there are certain neighbourhoods where the majority of people of Arab origin live, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups… and are openly hostile towards Jews’.

Ontario spent record sum on advertisements ‘to promote’ governing party: AG

The Ford government has spent more than any other previous administration in any other year on advertisements which, the auditor general has found, were “designed to promote the governing party.”

Auditor General Shelley Spence found as part of her annual report that, in the fiscal year ending at the end of March, the province spent a total of $104.6 million on advertising.

That is the most any Ontario government has ever spent on advertising in a single year, the auditor general said, and triple what was spent the year before.

Debt Tsunami: Global Borrowing Hits $323 Trillion Amid Economic Uncertainty

The world’s debt has soared to an unprecedented $323 trillion, surging by $12 trillion in the first three quarters of 2024, according to a new report from the Institute of International Finance (IIF).

The sharp rise comes as falling borrowing costs and a resurgence of investor risk appetite drive increased lending, reported Reuters. However, this rapid escalation highlights vulnerabilities in global financial systems, especially as governments continue to operate under significant budget deficits.

Batshit Crazy Ninth Circuit Sides With PETA

The three-judge panel overturned a preliminary injunction issued by a federal court, which barred the university from revealing the identities of current and former members of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, a volunteer group that monitors the use of animals for medical research on campus.

“Basic ‘biographical data,’ including a person’s ‘name, address, identification, place of birth, telephone number, occupation, sex, description, and legal aliases,’ is not highly sensitive personal information, and thus categorically does not ‘implicate the right to privacy,” the panel wrote in its five-page, unanimous ruling responding to the committee member’s lawsuit to prevent their names from subject to a public records request.

Trump making ‘joke’ about Canada becoming 51st state is ‘reassuring’: Ambassador Hillman

“(Trump) made jokes, other people at the table made jokes,” Hillman said, who was part of the Canadian delegation to Mar-a-Lago, though she wasn’t seated at the same table as Trump and Trudeau during the three-hour dinner. “People were making jokes, which, actually, I have to say, I find to be reassuring that people are that comfortable with each other, that they’re teasing.”

We read all 922 pages of Project 2025 so that you didn’t have to

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, commonly known as Project 2025, is a policy manual researched, written and released by conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. Surprise, surprise: they’ve actually been doing this since 1980. The first one they did went to Reagan and, by the end of 1981, he’d put more than 60% of it into practice. Smash cut to 2016…yep. You’re right. There was a Project 2017. Kind of makes you wonder why the Democrats weren’t talking about Trump and his awful Project 2017 back then, huh? Almost like it’s all propaganda…

Biden White House Is Discussing Preemptive Pardons for Those in Trump’s Crosshairs

President Joe Biden’s senior aides are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, according to senior Democrats familiar with the discussions.
Biden’s aides are deeply concerned about a range of current and former officials who could find themselves facing inquiries and even indictments, a sense of alarm which has only accelerated since Trump last weekend announced the appointment of Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Patel has publicly vowed to pursue Trump’s critics.
