A violent stabbing attack left two peole dead and at least eight others injured in Las Vegas Thursday.
Some of the victims were showgirls taking pictures with tourists, bystanders told Fox 5.
Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters on the scene there had been eight victims; two who had died and three who were in critical condition in hospital.
“Clean”, like “smart”, has become the prerequisite for all technology. Both are myths.
Smart technology is surveillance technology. It is not smarter because of its inherent qualities, but because it sends and receives data that allows it to be “smarter” in manipulating users. The smart part of smart technology comes from human beings. So does the stupid part when people sacrifice their privacy and independence for the benefits of technology being shaped to them.
Clean energy is even more of a myth. The Inflation Increase Act doles out another stream of billions toward the inefficient forms of energy generation that the government has been subsidizing for over 50 years because some Madison Avenue ad agency branded them “clean”.
Disgraced Prince Andrew is facing a new onslaught of bad press as a new documentary about his relationship with pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein airs Thursday night.
In a series of private texts to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Twitter cofounder and free speech failure Jack Dorsey called Facebook a “swamp of despair.”
Business Insider reports that in recent texts to Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey took shots at Facebook. On April 6, Dorsey texted Musk, “Looks like there’s a ‘verified’ account in the swamp of despair over there.”
Comedian and commentator Russell Brand roasted Hillary Clinton and other liberals on Tuesday for tarring people they don’t agree with as “Nazis” and “fascists.”
In a new YouTube video posted to his channel, Brand spoke about Hillary Clinton’s appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, where she compared a Trump rally in Ohio where his supporters raised index fingers in salute to the Roman salutes at rallies in Nazi Germany.
Joy Reid is so hateful that she spent an entire segment Wednesday night on her MSNBC show The ReidOut smearing pro-life conservatives and accusing them of really just wanting to control women. She even used a decades-old out-of-context soundbite from Daily Wire host Matt Walsh to claim conservatives want to get young girls pregnant so they don’t go to college and compete with men in the workplace.
The firing of a New York University (NYU) professor who was the subject of a petition from students who said his class was too hard continues to stoke controversy, as some parents and teachers say the incident points to a lowering of academic standards.
Maitland Jones Jr, a professor of organic chemistry, was fired by NYU after more than 80 students from his 350-student course signed a petition complaining about grades, teaching and help received during the Covid pandemic.
For years now, we’ve seen woke schools hiring drag queens to perform for young kids as some sort of exercise about tolerance and diversity. If you spoke out about it, you were a bigot.
Tim Forte, an Amazon analyst, says he was worried about the performance of the company’s billion-dollar Rings of Power boondoggle.
So he decided to give the show a look.
After giving the show a look, he’s even more concerned.
Why?
Like most of us, he fell asleep.
The world is waking up to the fact that the climate policy goal of achieving “net-zero” CO2 emissions brings crippling economic pain. Fossil fuel prices shot up by 26 per cent across industrialized economies last year and will rise globally by another 50 per cent this year. Politicians blame Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but the long-term trend stems mostly from governments demonizing fossil fuels while their societies remain dependent on them. Since the 2015 Paris climate agreement, global investment in fossil fuels has halved, inevitably driving up prices.
An investigation into allegations that communist China is operating unofficial overseas police stations in Canada is underway, officials say.
Testifying before the parliamentary Canada-China committee on Sept. 4, Weldon Epp, director general for Global Affairs Canada’s North Asia and Oceania Bureau, said should the allegations be proven true, the activity would “fall outside of any legitimate police-to-police liaison role” between the two countries, and that Ottawa would make “serious representations” to Beijing.
Canada’s Supreme Court will for the first time hear a Canada-US asylum pact case that will weigh whether the country can consider its southern neighbour “safe” for those seeking refugee status.
The outcome of Thursday’s hearing could determine whether Canada can trust that the US treats migrants properly, and could answer whether Canada holds any responsibility for migrants turned back at its border.
At the heart of the matter is the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) – a pact between the two countries that has been in place since 2004 and that requires refugee claimants to request protection in the first “safe” country they reach.
OTTAWA – Chief of the defence staff Gen. Wayne Eyre is ordering an immediate halt to all non-essential activities in favour of boosting military recruitment and retention, with the Canadian Armed Forces facing an unprecedented personnel crisis.
Eyre issued the sweeping order to senior commanders across the country on Thursday, saying dramatic action is needed to ensure the military has the troops it needs to respond to growing demands and threats at home and abroad.
As Europe faces a winter of skyrocketing natural gas prices driving millions of people unable to afford to heat their homes into energy poverty, it’s alarming how western leaders — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau among them — continue to take precisely the wrong message from what has happened.
From Trudeau, to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other European leaders, to the Biden administration in the U.S., their misguided battle cry is the same.
After Russia’s chaotic retreats in Kherson – less than a week after Vladimir Putin illegally annexed the Ukrainian province alongside three others – the region’s Moscow-appointed governor, Kirill Stremousov, sought to calm the mood.
Far from a rout, the withdrawal was a tactical “regrouping” to “deliver a retaliatory blow”, Stremousov said on Wednesday.
His comments – among the first public admissions of Russia’s retreats in Kherson – attempted to mask what even many vocal supporters of the war now say: the situation is the most dire the Russian army has found itself in since the start of the invasion seven months ago.
