This wasn’t a war crime – it was an audacious assault on anti-Semites

The left’s crazy wailing over the exploding Hezbollah pagers shows that Israel can’t do right for doing wrong.

Getting your balls blown off by a primed pager has got to be the most ‘f**k around, find out’ thing that has ever happened. It took place in Lebanon yesterday. To the approval of both supporters of Israel and meme-makers everywhere, thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah operatives suddenly exploded. The footage coming out of Lebanon is extraordinary. A man’s trouser pocket erupting in a supermarket, a man writhing in agony in the middle of the road after his trusted comms device turned on him. The battle of the pagers will surely be recorded as one of the most unusual and audacious acts in the entire history of human warfare.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs vows he won’t have women at his house as he begs judge to release him to home detention

Sean “Diddy” Combs vowed he won’t have women visit his Florida mansion Wednesday as his defense attorneys beg a judge to release him to home detention until he faces trial on sex-trafficking and racketeering charges.

The 54-year-old rapper was set to appear for a second day in a row in Manhattan federal court at 3:30 p.m. — for a hearing where he’ll request to be sprung from the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center on a $50 million bond.

His attorneys argue that electronic monitoring and a slew of other conditions should assure the trial judge and prosecutors that Combs won’t go on the lam or harm others while he awaits trial.


What We’re Learning About Diddy Could ‘Bring the Whole Music Industry Down

You can see why people believe Pizza-Gate.

Germany: Railway Conductors Advised To Only Check Tickets of ‘Nationals’

Railway staff in Thuringia have been told that ticket inspection is now discretionary—with discriminatory consequences. Specifically, train conductors can opt out of checking the credentials of passengers who appear to be foreign, due to the threat of assault.

While female conductors and train attendants tend to suffer disproportionately from such attacks, the problem is widespread across the rail service.

A Halifax woman has spent years fighting for out-of-province care. Now she’s ready to end her life

As Jennifer Brady climbs into inflatable pants that cover from her toes to her chest, she positions her water bottle on the table beside her and starts pushing buttons on a machine.

The device, called a Lympha Press, is designed to move the fluid in her legs. She spends at least five hours a day tied to the machine, unable to do anything else — including caring for her two children, ages nine and 13. She also wears compression garments 24 hours a day.

The Liberals would do better if they replace their dead man walking

There’s a widespread view that it wouldn’t be beneficial for the Liberals to change leaders at this time; that a new leader would do just as badly, if not worse, in an election than Justin Trudeau; that Liberal Party members are therefore not acting like cowards in not forcing him out.

Look at the precedents, contend those who subscribe to this line of thinking. John Turner succeeded the highly unpopular Pierre Trudeau in 1984 shortly before an election had to be called, and a debacle ensued; the Liberals were reduced to 40 seats. Kim Campbell became Conservative leader in 1993 replacing the much-loathed Brian Mulroney at the end of his second mandate, and an even worse shellacking followed: the Tories were obliterated, winning only two ridings.

Sean Speer: With the Liberals reduced to a regional rump party, is Canada’s long Laurentian reign finally over?

Old political narratives die hard. It often requires ample time in the face of conflicting facts for them to gradually become undone.

One of Canada’s oldest political narratives is that the Liberal Party is the “government party” or the “natural governing party.” According to this long-standing axiom, it’s the only political party capable of commanding broad-based support across different groups and regions.

Springfield, Ohio Is About More Than Cats and Dogs

WASHINGTON — There were no questions during Thursday’s White House media briefing about what the Biden–Harris administration is doing about the beleaguered city of Springfield, Ohio. No reporter asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre whether President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris plan to visit the town that has come to represent what happens when a Midwest manufacturing city of 58,000 absorbs the arrival of some 20,000 migrants.

Imagine a one-third bump in your town’s population over four years. That’s a story.

Now That Canada Has Been Done Irreparable Harm … Trudeau gov’t to further limit number of international students

The federal government will be further limiting the number of international students permitted to enter Canada next year. It’s the government’s latest immigration-related measure to address Canadians’ ongoing housing and affordability concerns.

In 2025, new international student study permits will be reduced by 10 per cent from the 2024 target of 485,000. That will mean 437,000 permits issued next year, with that same target continuing into 2026.

The Education of Sally Muffinsheep By the Great Rob Smith

Sally Muffinsheep was a babe. Now 48, by the time she was 16, it was evident she was going to have a comfortable life. Men would always fall all over her to help her.

Fred Hahn Creepy as Fuck

Embattled union leader Fred Hahn says he has not decided whether to seek re-election at CUPE after its national executive board “lost confidence” in him and sought his resignation over a Facebook video post denounced as antisemitic.

“We’ll cross those bridges when we come to them,” Hahn told reporters Tuesday, noting the next vote for national vice-presidents of Canada’s largest public-sector union isn’t until spring 2026.
