California coffee shop workers were filmed denying a Jewish customer access to the restroom after she complained it was filled with antisemitic graffiti — telling her “Free Palestine” and accusing her of wanting to use the facilities because “Israel loves taking private property and saying it’s their own.”
INSANE! These triggered employees are prohibiting an older Jewish customer from using the restroom.

Calgary outreach worker Chaz Smith and his team of volunteers have been distributing food, clothes and referrals for services to the city’s unhoused for nine years.
The founder of BeTheChangeYYC says most of those facing homelessness during that time have been Caucasian or Indigenous.
But these days, he’s noticing more newcomer faces.
Keep those immigrant floodgates open.
Economist Steve Moore recently compared EVs to the ill-fated Edsel, “one of the textbook marketing flops of all time.”
“All the automotive experts and Ford executives said it was a can’t-miss. Henry Ford (the car was named after his son) guaranteed hundreds of thousands of sales. But one big thing went wrong: Nobody ever bothered to ask car buyers what they thought of the new car,” he wrote.
“Given the all-in approach to electric vehicles at Ford and General Motors, it’s clear that Detroit never got the message.”

I got a vasectomy due to climate grief. Now, I’m compelled to let go of my backup plan
“Darryl,” my then-partner called out from a few rows back on a crowded flight. We’d originally been seated together, but I’d relocated so a mom could sit with her kids. When I looked back over the packed seats, amidst the roar of burning engines, she smiled at me and mimed a scissor-cut with two fingers. “Yes,” she finally said, in a gesture understandable only to me.
For about a year and a half, I’d been offering to get a vasectomy, to do more than just talk about how the world didn’t need any more humans. In and around our old Nova Scotia house, I’d periodically make that horizontal scissor mime to reiterate my offer. News of rising temperatures on the kitchen radio? Finger snip. Atlantic Ocean looking more and more disturbed? Finger snip. Even back then in 2007, the North Atlantic hurricane season was intensifying due to climate change. Snip-snip.

An influencer who mockingly asked what side dishes should accompany an Israeli baby who was reportedly burned to death in an oven has been given a ten-month suspended jail sentence.
Paris’ judicial court today handed 37-year-old Warda Anwar, also known as Haneia Nakei, the sentence after she was prosecuted for apologising for terrorism and publicly inciting hatred.
In a video published to the Parisian influencer’s Instagram account, which has nearly 11,000 followers at time of publication, she reacted to information reported by an Israeli rescuer, who claimed they found a baby placed in an oven by Hamas during the terror group’s incursion into Israel.
Huh?
It’s been a full week since federal prosecutors in New York unsealed an indictment that lays out an aborted murder-for-hire plot hatched in India last spring, and there’s still nothing to warrant claims by the federal government and its friends that the news is a vindication of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s melodramatic detonation of Indo-Canadian relations in September.
The German Ministry of the Interior has proposed a draft amendment to its Residency Act to redefine what constitutes human trafficking into the EU—a move which could criminalize the work of ‘search and rescue’ NGOs operating on the Mediterranean Sea, EU Observer wrote.
Existing German laws already prohibit facilitating irregular entries into the EU for the sake of financial gain or personal advantage, which means NGOs can ferry migrants from the Libyan and Tunisian shores to Europe under the term ‘rescue’ unobstructed.
Seven GTA residents, including ServiceOntario employees, are accused of taking part in a major auto theft ring that involved widespread identity theft.
Some 73 charges were laid in the police investigation, called Project Safari, which began in February 2023.
“As the project progressed, investigators learned that suspects were conspiring with employees at ServiceOntario, who were trafficking in driving and vehicle data taken from the Ministry of Transportation database,” Toronto police said in a prepared statement.
An alleged Russian mole at the heart of Germany’s foreign intelligence service tipped off the Kremlin that western spies had cracked the communications of its biggest mercenary force in eastern Ukraine, according to a report.
Carsten Linke and his alleged middleman, Arthur Eller, a well-connected German diamond trader, will go on trial next week for aggravated treason. It is Germany’s most significant espionage case in decades.
The number of Canadians who have died while on a waiting list for medical care is at a five-year high, according to a new report.
Over 17,000 patients died before they could be treated with surgery or diagnostic scans, says a SecondStreet.org report published on Dec. 6.
That number represents a 64 percent increase since 2018, the report said.
Residents of Westlock, Alta., will vote in a plebiscite in February on a proposed bylaw that would force the town to remove its only Pride crosswalk, painted last summer.
Town council voted unanimously Nov. 27 to hold a municipal plebiscite on a proposed “crosswalk and flagpole” bylaw which would ban crosswalks or flags that support “political, social, or religious movements or commercial entities.”
The proposal aims to keep public spaces politically neutral in the town 90 kilometres north of Edmonton.
At last week’s Gotham Awards, actor Robert De Niro amplified his ignorance by twisting together superficial movie history and fashionable political bias. It was another of the actor’s obsessive public denouncements of President Trump, again revealing the madness that has overwhelmed show-business liberals. De Niro was invited by the Gotham Film and Media Institute to present the organization’s Historical Icon and Creator Tribute to director Martin Scorsese and Apple, producers of Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, but De Niro went off-teleprompter in a fit of misguided political animus.
The interns, who are paid, accused the Jewish state of committing “genocide.”
Agroup of 40 White House and Executive Office of the President interns sent a letter to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday to shame them for supporting Israel and to demand that they call for a “permanent ceasefire” in the Israel–Hamas conflict. The interns deemed Israel’s actions in the conflict to be “an ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people” and said that they “will no longer remain silent.”
Supporters of such campaigns around the globe are more diverse than academics and the media acknowledge.
The world watched as a political earthquake hit the Dutch parliament on November 22. The party of populist radical-right politician Geert Wilders, whom many caricature as the Dutch Donald Trump, won 37 seats in the Netherlands’s 150-seat Second Chamber, potentially positioning him to become the country’s next prime minister. Hundreds of left-wing voters immediately took to the streets of Utrecht and Amsterdam and protested his victory.
