A Las Vegas couple face charges of assault, battery, and stalking after harassing a Trump voter outside his home earlier this month and running over his foot as after he pulled a gun.
Why fight for justice isn’t over in India’s ‘horrific’ widow burning case, 37 years on
It was a case that made headlines globally and led to widespread condemnation.
A teenaged widow was burned on her husband’s funeral pyre under the Hindu practice of sati 37 years ago.
Now Roop Kanwar’s story has returned to headlines in India after a court acquitted eight men accused of glorifying her death, in the last of the remaining cases in the grisly saga.
Sati was first banned in 1829 by the British colonial rulers, but the practice had continued even after India’s independence in 1947. Kanwar is recognised as India’s last sati.
Israel, Churchill and why we’re still obsessed with WW II
“… Post-War liberalism unilaterally disarmed Europe of the right to exercise an in-group preference for respective countries’ cultures, histories, and peoples. It compelled us to treat everyone with the false anthropology of the Blank Slate: as if all cultural, geographical, and biological differences are inconsequential, and easily remedied by technocrats turning the dials of education and economic opportunity. Liberalism is recalcitrant to recognise how involuntary factors — like ethnic and cultural heritage — may influence one’s likelihood of buying into a civilization’s story. It has, paradoxically, placed upon Europe the burden of unique, non-expungable guilt for past atrocities, thinning out its history to a list of grievances requiring recompense. Such optimism is the furthest thing from Nazi racial determinism; but sacrifices the ability to stake a claim in any one conception of the good. Liberalism is, as James Burnham said, “the ideology of Western suicide”.
This is a long and at times dense read but worth your while as it touches on the ills of multiculturalism, mass immigration, minority grievance culture, cultural relativism and all the other crap that has turned western nations into borderline 3rd world shitholes.

Internet Slams Justin Trudeau After He Celebrates 6th Anniversary of Weed Legalization in Canada
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has grabbed headlines yet again. This time for celebrating the legalization of weed in his country.
Amid escalating diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, Trudeau is fast losing favor among Canadian citizens and is being criticized for his recent social media post commemorating the sixth anniversary of cannabis legalization in Canada.

After a week of jaw-dropping accusations, the quaint world of 2015 seems far away
Nine years ago this fall, the leaders of the three major federal parties at the time gathered on a stage in Toronto for a debate on foreign policy. The resulting discussion seems a bit quaint now.
The topics covered — Canada’s contribution to the fight against the Islamic State, a refugee crisis in Syria, the Conservative government’s anti-terror laws — were not exactly trifling. But India received only a glancing reference. Donald Trump, who had announced his candidacy for president of the United States four months earlier, wasn’t mentioned at all. Neither was China.
Literally and figuratively, it was a different time.
Sure was a different time, no one imagined Trudeau would turn out to be a political arsonist. A shitty PM?. Sure but not the crazy person he has revealed himself to be.
And the “accusations” against the Conservative party were not jaw-dropping when weighed against the extent of Liberal party perfidy.
Trudeau’s testimony was nothing more than a distraction to take the heat off his growing caucus mutiny.
Tectonic Political Shift Afoot as Minorities Go ‘Normie,’ Turning Away From Increasingly Woke, Left-Wing Democratic Party
Not everything significant politically is happening just in the target states.
“Never seen anything like this in thirty years,” said California Republican consultant Mike Madrid in an X post, referencing the sharp increase in Republican registration among California’s minority voters, including the state’s numerous Latinos, growing numbers of Asians, and decreasing number of Blacks.

The growing conflict between Canada and India, explained … by the Washington Post
TORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s bombshell allegation in Parliament last year that agents of the Indian government were linked to the assassination of a Sikh separatist leader on Canadian soil sent relations between Ottawa and New Delhi plummeting.
Since then, each country has expelled the other’s diplomats, and police here have alleged Indian government involvement in a wide range of violent acts targeting Sikhs in Canada. Trudeau this week said India had made a “horrific mistake” in thinking it could violate Canada’s sovereignty.
The claims have deepened concerns among Western officials that India, a country they’ve sought to court as a counter to China, is practicing “transnational repression” — a tactic more commonly employed by authoritarian regimes such as in Russia and Iran — to target its critics abroad.
A plague on all their houses. This is a Justin Trudeau problem brought about by his reliance on identity politics.

Canada owes America an apology – for Kamala Harris
When Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, many assumed her Left-wing ideology would immediately take centre stage. Lo and behold, that’s what happened.
Harris is a progressive’s progressive. She’s pro-affirmative action and supports gun control. She is weak on illegal immigration, has defended sanctuary cities, and was one of ten senators who opposed the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement in part because it didn’t tackle climate change.
WTF?

Donald Trump Dines With Both Sides as Kamala Leaves the Table
“All great change in America begins at the dinner table,” President Ronald Reagan told the nation in his 1989 farewell address — and the 2024 Alfred E. Smith Dinner is no exception to the rule.
Politics, money, and religion were all at the table Thursday evening as a plethora of plutocrats gathered for the annual event in New York City, which comedian Jim Gaffigan called the “Catholic Met Gala” in his opening comments.
Traditionally, both Democrat and Republican presidential nominees speak before a room of hundreds of diners. They elicit laughs with lighthearted roasts as a testament to the humanity of larger-than-life politicians.
‘Pure Genocide’: Muslim Slaughter of Christians in Nigeria and the Great Press Cover-Up
The “pure genocide” of Christians in Nigeria, as it has been characterized by several international observers, is reaching unprecedented levels, according to two separate reports.
“Countering the myth of religious indifference in Nigerian terror (10/2019 – 9/2023),” a comprehensive, 136-page report published by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa on August 29, 2024, found that Muslim militants slaughtered 16,769 Christians in just the four years between 2019 and 2023. That comes out to 4,192 Christians killed on average per year — or one Christian murdered for his/her faith every two hours.
Poor people with non-terminal illness more likely to be legally murdered in Ontario
Rates of medical assistance in dying for non-terminal illness in Ontario higher in poorer neighbourhoods, reports say
In one case, an Ontario man in his late 40s with debilitating ulcers was granted medical assistance in dying, despite a litany of mental disorders and previous suicide attempts.
In another, a woman in her 50s with a history of depression, anxiety and suicidality received MAID in part because she couldn’t find housing that would relieve her suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome, a rare condition in which pain, fatigue, rashes and other ailments arise from mild exposure to chemicals.

Labour can’t help Kamala Harris
The news that Labour is sending volunteers to assist Kamala Harris’s campaign is an outrage. In what world is it acceptable for a foreign political entity to interfere in the democratic process of a sovereign nation? If the Tories were shipping off their operatives to help Donald Trump, the shrieking harpies would be crying foul, calling election interference. But it favours Kamala Harris, suddenly, the lines of legality and ethics are blurred, if not outright erased.
‘Just unbelievable’: Video shows triumph of diversity at racist B.C. frozen yogurt shop
Police were called to a frozen yogurt shop in Richmond, B.C., Wednesday after a man went behind the counter and scooped some of the product with his hand.
Video of the wild incident went viral on social media, showing the unidentified man reaching into a display case at Timothy’s Frozen Yogurt.
Today a man in Richmond, B.C. walked behind the counter at the Timothy’s Frozen Yogurt in Steveston, grabbed what he wanted, and walked off without paying.
