Trans Nashville shooter is seen firing through door of private Christian school before stalking corridors with rifle

Nashville police have released footage showing the moment a transgender 28-year-old shot down the door of a Christian school she attended as a child and began stalking the corridors, assault rifle in hand.

Audrey Hale arrived at the Covenant School in her Honda Fit just before 10am and killed six people before she was shot dead.

Hale opened fire on arriving police from the second floor of the school before she was confronted by Officer Rex Englebert, a four-year MNPD veteran, and Officer Michael Collazo, a nine-year MNPD veteran. The pair returned fire and shot her dead.

‘I don’t know how he can live with himself’: Victims slam ‘abducted and tortured’ crypto ‘prodigy’ who lost their MILLIONS after promising a return of 70% – as his parents agree to pay back almost $1m

Pimply Kid Ponzi schemes are sound investments say experts

Two victims of a Canadian 23-year-old who styled himself as a cryptocurrency genius, only to allegedly defraud investors of millions, have emerged – as the self-styled prodigy’s parents agree to return cars worth $100,000 and $812,000 in cash.

A Toronto realtor, Sacha Singh, sparked the collapsed of Aiden Pleterski’s alleged scheme in July 2022, when he filed court documents requesting the immediate freezing of Pleterski’s accounts, in a bid to recoup the CA $4.56 million ($3.32 million) he invested.

The CCP Has an Inside Informant on Our Military and Supply Chains

The Chinese government may be using its shipping technology as a spy tool.

For more than 15 years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has developed an elaborate espionage campaign to gather insight on American businesses, strategic assets, and supply-chain weak links. The goal: to gain a competitive foothold it can leverage against the United States and our allies.

Jabbed pilots’ roll call of death and injuries

‘MAYDAY! Mayday!’ is something no airline pilot wants to say, and no passenger wants to hear, but this month Virgin Australia, Emirates, United and Southwest airlines have all turned back aircraft or made emergency landings because air crew have suffered serious health incidents. A British Airways pilot died of a heart attack just before he was due to fly a plane from Egypt.

Increased Chinese Support for Russia Will Imperil the World

This week, Chinese president Xi Jinping met with Russian president Vladimir Putin to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Sino-Russo relations. During their meeting, Xi stated that Russia’s development had “significantly improved” while Putin claimed that China “made a colossal leap forward.”

The visit came just days after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Putin for committing war crimes in Ukraine. China is not a state party of the Rome Statute, a treaty recognizing the ICC. Thus, Xi’s visit suggests that China feels no need to hold the Russians accountable for their ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Many members of the international community are also skeptical of China’s neutrality in the war, given Xi’s close relationship with Putin.

French protests threaten to spill into Europe

The cost-of-living crisis is hurting the whole continent

Shocking scenes emerged this weekend from Sainte-Soline, a rural district in Western France. Police vehicles burned as protestors hurled rocks and fireworks. At one point, police officers on quad bikes used what appeared to be light mobilised infantry tactics against the protesters, who opposed the building of a large water reservoir to be used for farm irrigation.

Death By a Thousand Cuts: Who Wants Justin Trudeau Gone, and Why?

The pressure has been building for months. What did Prime Minister Justin Trudeau know about intelligence reports on foreign interference in Canada’s elections, and when did he know it? Why is CSIS leaking like a sieve? Why won’t the PM call a public inquiry? And so on, and so on.

Then, 24 hours before Trudeau was to welcome United States President Joe Biden on his first state visit to Ottawa, another bombshell. Global News reported that Liberal MP Han Dong allegedly advised the Chinese consulate to recommend delaying China’s release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor from prison in 2021, so as not to “benefit the Conservatives.”


It’s a good piece and one that takes a similar tack as my own speculative entry which asked why Jacinda Arden & Nicola Sturgeon suddenly “resigned.” Like Trudeau they are regarded as China’s useful idiots. “

New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, Scotland’s Nicola Sturgeon And Canada’s Justin Trudeau – What Do They Have In Common?

Justin’s relegation to the Useful Idiot fringe may help explain the CBC’s ham-fisted propaganda piece published yesterday which sought to reassure someone that Justin was a trusted ally of the US and Five Eyes.

World ‘population bomb’ may never go off as feared, finds study by “Always wrong” group

The long-feared “population bomb” may not go off, according to the authors of a new report that estimates that human numbers will peak lower and sooner than previously forecast.

The study, commissioned by the Club of Rome, projects that on current trends the world population will reach a high of 8.8 billion before the middle of the century, then decline rapidly. The peak could come earlier still if governments take progressive steps to raise average incomes and education levels.

The new forecasts are good news for the global environment. Once the demographic bulge is overcome, pressure on nature and the climate should start to ease, along with associated social and political tensions.

It’s time for Hollywood to grow up

After 15 years of non-stop big-screen spandex, superhero films are finally losing their powers.

Have we passed the peak of superhero movies’ dominance of the big screen? I certainly hope so – and the signs are promising.

For more than 15 years, the film industry has been colonised by daftly named characters in spandex, playing out inane plotlines against a brain-bleeding cacophony of cartoonish CGI.

Adieu to the Internal Combustion Engine: Brussels and Berlin Reach Agreement

The end of the traditional internal combustion engine is coming into view—at least for EU consumers. On Saturday, March 25th, Berlin aligned with the European Commission, bringing closer a post-2035 ban on the selling of cars using such engines.

Berlin’s erstwhile obstinacy gave way after it successfully negotiated an exemption for cars running on synthetic e-fuels, which are ‘CO2-neutral’ overall. To meet its 2030 and 2050 climate targets, the EU has made the transition to zero-emission vehicles within its borders a priority.

Rex Murphy: Ignoring the Chinese ghost at Trudeau and Biden’s banquet

Ah, the Biden visit.

One of the more empty moments of our turbulent times. A distracted American president and a troubled Canadian prime minister sharing a plate and oozing mutual admiration.

Bring on the appetizers.

Wonderful to see the U.S. president finally drop by. A Canadian visit used to be the first “foreign” stop on every new American president’s itinerary. But better late than never at all.
