The report was released on March 26, with data collected in October 2023, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.

Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison
Sam Bankman-Fried, the former cryptocurrency mogul who was convicted of fraud, was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Thursday, capping an extraordinary saga that upended the multi-trillion-dollar crypto industry and became a cautionary tale of greed and hubris.
Mr. Bankman-Fried’s sentence was shorter than the 40 to 50 years that federal prosecutors had recommended, but above the six-and-a-half-year sentence requested by the defense lawyers. A federal probation officer had recommended 100 years, just under the maximum possible penalty of 110 years behind bars.
I thought he would go down harder the Judge really ripped into him
‘Remorseless’ Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison — as judge rips him as power-obsessed scammer
A Manhattan judge ripped Sam Bankman-Fried as a “remorseless” scammer obsessed with political power as he sentenced the fallen crypto mogul to 25 years in prison Thursday — five months after he was found guilty of stealing more than $8 billion of funds from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
Judge Lewis Kaplan said the 32-year-old convicted fraudster “presented himself as the good guy” all in favor of “appropriate regulation of the crypto industry” — but it was just an “act.”
Judge Kaplan: I find the Mr. Bankman-Fried gave perjured testimony at trial – he falsely testified that until the Fall of 2022 he had no knowledge that Alameda had spent FTX customer funds. He falsely testified that he first learned of the $8 billion in Oct 2022

Commie Chow Considering Rain Tax In Latest Scheme To Make Toronto A World Class Shithole City
Toronto is considering a change in the way it charges homeowners and businesses for water. The new charge is referred to as a “stormwater charge,” although many on social media are already calling it a “rain tax,” since it has to do with stormwater runoff.

A hot cross bun flavoured cheese has “lost the symbolism” of Easter, Christians have warned.
Morrisons has launched a new cheddar for the religious holiday, which is flavoured with traditional bun ingredients of cinnamon, blueberries and raisins.
The Hot Cross Bun Cheese, which is being sold for £1.25 per 100g at the supermarket’s deli counters, has provoked bemusement among the Christian community.
Mysterious writer behind ISIS-K propaganda calls himself ‘the Canadian’
A mysterious writer making propaganda for an Afghan branch of ISIS claimed to be based somewhere in Canada which, experts say, could be cause for concern for authorities.
Voice of Khurasan, an online publication used by the Islamic State of Khorasan (ISIS-K), which is suspected of being behind the Moscow attack that killed at least 140 people last week, includes several contributions from a person who publishes under the name Sulaiman Dawood al-Kanadie.
The last part of the handle means “the Canadian” in Arabic and has been used by several high-profile ISIS members from Canada in the past.
I’d start with the Liberal Party.
Comedian forced to ditch hot dog for healthy cucumber in Tube ads
Ed Gamble has been forced to change his tour posters on the London Underground, replacing a hot dog with a cucumber, thanks to Transport for London’s food advertising rules.
The comedian, 38, originally advertised his stand-up tour Hot Diggity Dog with a photo of himself covered in ketchup and mustard while eating a hot dog.
Trudeau ‘Deepfake’ Cryptocurrency Scam Costs Toronto Man $12K
A Toronto man has lost $12,000 to a cryptocurrency scam that involved a “deepfake” video of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a mistake that he says has robbed him of his life savings.
Stephen Henry saw a YouTube video last November that he thought was real because it appeared to be endorsed by the Liberal leader.
“I thought, ‘It’s got to be legitimate, it’s got to be perfect. If not, how could you get the prime minister?’ So I thought, ‘It’s got to be official,” Mr. Henry told CTV.
GOLDSTEIN: How the Liberals blew their credibility on the carbon tax
Once a government loses its credibility on an issue, it’s hard to recover it.
That’s what has happened to the Trudeau Liberals on their carbon tax.
Gallup: Most Americans oppose Israeli actions against Hamas
The majority of Americans now disapprove of the Israel Defense Forces’ actions against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to a survey Gallup published on Wednesday.
The proportion of respondents who disapprove of IDF actions increased from 45% in November to 55% this month, while the share of Americans who explicitly back the military operation dropped from 50% to 36%.
The Gaza Pier Makes Less Sense with Each Passing Day
It’s hard to avoid the impression that Joe Biden’s plan to deploy the U.S. military to construct a humanitarian pier in Gaza wasn’t that well thought out.
The pier proposal, which the president revealed during this year’s State of the Union Address, conflicts with his desire to limit America’s direct involvement in Israel’s defensive war against Hamas. Soon after the announcement, independent reports indicated that the project would take two months to complete and involve 1,100 U.S. service personnel. According to Israel’s Channel 14, the Biden administration has sought the services of a Qatar-based firm to build the thing — “a company controlled and sponsored by Hamas,” according to correspondent Baruch Yedid. Counterproductive though that might have been, it would preserve Biden’s objective of ensuring that no U.S. troops make landfall on the Gaza Strip.
Muslims Firebomb Store Over “Allah Socks”
Islam is a peaceful religion. It’s not in any way associated with violence except in response to Jews, Christians or Hindus defending themselves against it, or really serious issues like socks. Allah socks.
The hidden takeaway from the Baltimore bridge disaster
As of this writing the catastrophic bridge collapse in Baltimore, Md. is still unfolding.
Facts on the ground are thus far that a container ship collided with a support pylon on the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. The bridge immediately collapsed, as the videos widely available show, clearly and shockingly.
The speed and totality of the collapse are breathtaking.
Car dealers will decide America’s future
Ohio Republicans have a new candidate for US Senator: Bernie Moreno, who was endorsed by Donald Trump over establishment-backed Matt Dolan. With Moreno’s victory in last week’s hotly contested primary, the party’s MAGA faction has further entrenched its hold on this pivotal Midwestern state, with its large share of factory towns and labour voters. And should Moreno prevail over the Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown in November, he would go on to join Ohio’s sitting Junior Senator J.D. Vance, probably the most intellectually sophisticated champion of America First nationalism in Congress.
The Lord Haw-Haws of Hamas
Why are so many supposed leftists spreading propaganda for religious fascists?
Imagine going back in time, a decade or so, and telling anti-fascists that one day they’ll be doing the bidding of fascists. Imagine telling anti-racists that they would soon become propagandists for racists. Imagine telling those woke campus feminists, the sort who thought that being propositioned at the student bar was ‘rape culture’, that in the not-too-distant future they’d be making excuses for literal rape. They’d have thought you mad. And yet it’s happened. Many of yesteryear’s self-righteous haters of bigotry have morphed into the Lord Haw-Haws of Hamas – one of the most bigoted movements on Earth.
