Italy’s Meloni Scores a Victory on Illegal Immigration as the Rest of Europe Is Reeling

Can someone please put this woman in charge of the southern border, and pronto? Based on her recent success in staunching the flow of illegal migrants, the prime minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, might work wonders where Vice President Harris has, for the most part, failed.

According to new figures from the Italian interior ministry, illegal arrivals in 2024 to date have fallen by 65 percent compared to last year, with 40,138 migrants disembarking on Italian shores as of August 27 compared to 113,469 over the same period in 2023.

Battle brewing between auditor general and House of Commons over ‘green slush fund’ documents

OTTAWA – A parliamentary battle is brewing between the House of Commons and Auditor General Karen Hogan, who has so far refused to comply with an order demanding she hand over documents relating to her scathing audit of the so-called “green slush fund.”

Parliament’s halls may be sleepy during the quiet summer months, but drama has been building between the House of Commons, the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) and, to a lesser degree, the RCMP over a motion adopted by MPs nearly three months ago.

Liberals say citizenship given to ISIS terrorist is ‘how the system should work’

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc defended Canada’s national security system after it was revealed an alleged ISIS terrorist was granted Canadian citizenship just before being arrested for plotting a terror attack in the Greater Toronto Area.

The suspect, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, was initially allowed into Canada on a visitor visa in 2018 and subsequently gained refugee status, permanent residency, and finally citizenship.

WHO Removes Hundreds of Monkeypox Deaths as Case Fatality Rate Drops to 0.2%. Some “Global Emergency”

Public health responses are most effective when they are grounded in reality. This is particularly important if the response is intended to address an ‘emergency’ and involves the transfer of large amounts of public money. When we reallocate resources, there is a cost, as the funds are taken from some other programme. If the response involves buying lots of products from a manufacturer, there will also be a gain for the company and its investors.

“There is no place for Orwell’s ‘thought police’ in 21st century Britain”: An Interview with Isabel Vaughn-Spruce

Isabel Vaughn-Spruce is a peaceful, law-abiding woman—but she has been arrested twice for praying silently near an abortion centre in Birmingham, England. In a rare bit of good news for freedom of speech, she has just received a payout of £13,000 from the West Midlands Police “in acknowledgement of her unjust treatment and the breach of her human rights” after she issued a claim alleging “two wrongful arrests and false imprisonments; assault and battery in relation to an intrusive search of her person; and for a breach of her human rights both in respect to the arrests, and to the onerous bail conditions imposed on her.”

Will we embrace AI fetishism?

Many cultures view robots as quasi-humans

In parts of Thailand, thanks to a confluence of modern technology and traditional beliefs, a peculiar transport service has emerged. The anthropologist Scott Stonington calls them “spirit ambulances”. Some Thai Buddhists feel morally obliged to preserve the life of an ailing mother or father by any means possible — even if there is no realistic hope of recovery, and even if it goes against the parent’s own wishes. Yet these same Buddhists believe that death should occur in the home, in the presence of family. So the dying parent is kept at the hospital until the last moment, receiving the best treatment medicine can provide, before being whisked home in a specially designed vehicle, the spirit ambulance.

So-Called “Foreign Students” Protest Over Failing Exams

Another group of post-secondary students in Brampton has the public talking this week — largely in the form of criticism — for protesting about failing their classes.

Just like the demonstrations that took place outside of the city’s Algoma University earlier this year, dozens enrolled at St. Clair College of Applied Arts and Technology — an institution operated in partnership with private a career college called Ace Acumen Academy — are claiming that their school has “failed them for no reason.”

Arab-Americans Denounce Black Americans For Supporting Kamala

An unpleasant and taboo truth comes out

Arab-Americans on social media have been denouncing black Americans for supporting Kamala Harris. Apparently those Arab-Americans don’t like Kamala because she is not sufficiently pro-Hamas. And they believe that black Americans are not entitled to exercise agency, but must follow the diktat of the superior Arabs. In response, black Americans have brought up that little matter of the Arab enslavement of black Africans that claimed many more victims than the Atlantic slave trade…

Kelly McParland: While the Liberals fixate on electric vehicles, people are buying hybrids

When politicians make important financial decisions based on a movie they may have seen as kids, it shouldn’t come as a shock if the results prove to be sub-optimal.

Field of Dreams was a hit 1989 film based on a 1982 novel about a 1919 baseball scandal. An Iowa farmer played by Kevin Costner repeatedly hears an ethereal voice advising him “If you build it, he will come.” So he constructs a ball diamond in a corn field and, sure enough, long-dead figures from a long-gone baseball team — including Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe Jackson — come wandering out of the fields for a game of pick-up.

Canada May Hit Low-Wage Foreign Worker Record Even With Freeze

Canada will try to break its rising dependence on low-wage, temporary foreign workers (TFWs). This week the Government of Canada (GoC) announced it will freeze processing of TFWs in some regions with elevated unemployment. Despite rising unemployment, the program has seen explosive growth with annual volumes rising 300% over the past five years. Just the first quarter of 2024 has already processed more than the annual total for 2018.

FBI identifies no motive or foreign links in Trump assassination attempt

The FBI has still not determined what motivated a gunman to try to assassinate former president Donald Trump at a July campaign rally in Pennsylvania, officials with the federal law enforcement agency said on a call with reporters Wednesday.

Federal officials sifted through five years worth of online activity for 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks and said they found no credible evidence that a foreign entity directed him to carry out the attack. Nor did they find credible material indicating that he worked with a co-conspirator.

Next they’ll claim Trump shot himself.
