A British army veteran has been found guilty of breaching a pro-abortion “buffer zone” by praying silently near the protected abortuary.
This morning, Adam Smith-Connor, 51, was given a two-year conditional discharge (i.e. he is on probation for two years) and ordered to pay costs of £9,000 ($11,700) by District Judge Orla Austin at the Poole Magistrates’ Court in Poole, Dorset.
OTTAWA — Liberal MP Sean Casey said he was still hopeful until last week that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would decide to step down and trigger a leadership race, but that has not happened, and Casey felt he owed it to his constituents to speak out.
Casey, the MP for Charlottetown, became the first Liberal MP on Tuesday to publicly say he wants Trudeau’s resignation since news broke this past weekend that some members of the party’s caucus have been organizing behind the scenes to collect signatures and force the leader to step down.
WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris angrily dodged questions on border policy, Iran and President Biden’s fitness for office in an contentious interview with Fox News host Bret Baier — as more polls showed her losing the initiative in the race for the White House.
The 26-minute interview with the Democratic nominee kicked off with a tense grilling by Baier on immigration policy — with Harris repeatedly refusing to say that terminating former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy was a mistake.
She’s crazy.
JUST IN: Bret Baier says there were 4 Kamala Harris staffers waving their hands back and forth to stop the interview.
“I’m talking like four people waving their hands like it’s gotta stop.”

The conversation quickly went off the rails when Kamala Harris dodged Bret Baier’s question on illegal immigration while simultaneously saying, “Let’s get to the point.”

Premier Danielle Smith is not mincing her words.
The premier paints a picture she finds alarming.
“In the last few months of a dying government is when they’re the most dangerous.”
The government Smith is talking about is the federal government, the government in Ottawa, the one led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
TORONTO (AP) — A homeless man refusing long-term care, a woman with severe obesity, an injured worker given meager government assistance, and grieving new widows. All of them requested to be killed under Canada’s euthanasia system, and each sparked private debate among doctors and nurses struggling with the ethics of one of the world’s most permissive laws on the practice, according to an Associated Press investigation.
As Canada pushes to expand euthanasia and more countries move to legalize it, health care workers here are grappling with requests from people whose pain might be alleviated by money, adequate housing or social connections. And internal data obtained exclusively by AP from Canada’s most populous province suggest a significant number of people euthanized when they are in unmanageable pain but not about to die live in Ontario’s poorest and most deprived areas.
We’re known for a Stupid Woke PM, harboring terrorists and the assembly line killing our most vulnerable. Thanks Trudeau.
Former President Donald Trump pledged on Wednesday to keep trans-identifying men out of women’s sports if elected this November.
The moment came during a Fox News town hall with Georgia women voters moderated by Harris Faulkner, host of “The Faulkner Focus.” Trump was asked by an audience member named Linda about how he would approach the issue of men identifying as women competing in women’s sports leagues. The Georgia resident said she has nine grandchildren, six of whom are girls and play sports.

More racism always makes things better.
Have you seen the viral video of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg calling for “vegan grenades,” “battery-powered fighter jets,” “biodegradable missiles”?
It’s a deep-fake parody, a satire. But, sad to say, it’s not that far from reality in the minds of some U.S. military policymakers.

A medical watchdog organization filed a lawsuit against the University of Washington School of Medicine for alleged racial discrimination because of a professional networking database not made available to white students.
America’s decline was a generation behind Europe. Now we’re where Europe used to be.
Why are Hamas rioters running around major cities? American cities are now also populated by unemployed grad students who alternate between sitting in cafes and throwing firebombs at police in their hip districts and mobs of foreign migrants squatting entire neighborhoods. The native working class is sinking into despair and drug abuse in the rural and industrial hinterlands even as those areas are being overrun by third worlders who dominate the local economies.
In 1968, the film Planet Of The Apes ended with the then-shocking shot of a half-submerged Statue of Liberty, revealing that the future dystopian world was none other than our own. The revelation has been part of Western consciousness for quite some time. The Bible continuously warns that if the Land does not have its Sabbaths, the Lord will impose them. It is a fixture of Western consciousness that some day the West, like every other civilisation, will die.
Every Victorian reader understood allusions to The New Zealander, a rhetorical figure in Thomas Macaulay’s 1840 essay. He was a traveller to a long-vanished civilisation, and gazes, uncomprehendingly, on the ruins of St Paul’s Cathedral. At around the same time, Marx believed that capitalism was a necessary stage of decay, from which communism could come into being. We see his prediction proved correct — in Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela and, now, in the United States. But his vision was of decay-into-perfection; rather than into chaos, savagery and dissolution, which we see to be the case.
It’s no secret that the Biden-Harris administration has been lying to us – publishing positive economic data that they tout, while quietly revising lower months later after achieving their desired result.
Now we find out that they’ve also been lying about crime statistics – something that author John R. Lott has been tracking and covering extensively.

The Internet Archive has spent the last few weeks being breached, hacked, DDoS attacked, and facing lawsuits preventing it from distributing certain “banned” books.
The American non-profit organization, which preserves and lends out digital and physical books and offers snapshots of websites from the past through the Wayback Machine, seems to be under a relentless onslaught.
Techopedia sits with experts to understand the recent attacks against the Internet Archive and its role in the AI and misinformation era.

The Freedom Convoy didn’t die. It is finding friends among willing politicians
The greatest danger of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” was not to Ottawa. Yes, the convoy tortured the city for more than a month, and that shouldn’t be forgotten, or downplayed. But it passed, even if the lonely leftovers that still hang around to harass politicians remain a smaller symptom of a wider ill.
No, the most dangerous part of the convoy was always its most farcical element, which is that some of the main organizers, who had a history of delusional and hateful comments, aimed to overthrow the government. No matter how supine Ottawa police were, no matter how absent Ontario premier Doug Ford or mayor Jim Watson was, no matter the overlapping paralysis of jurisdictions, we all laughed at that.
Two-and-a-half years later, and elements of the movement are being embraced by politicians more than ever before. What if the convoy is succeeding at changing our governments for the worse?
Someone needs to check the water at the Star’s offices.
