For the last decade, radical prosecutors and progressive politicians have been proposing and enacting illogical criminal-justice policies, often with little consideration for the real-world effects of these ideas. Enough time has passed for an evidence-based assessment of how these policies have played out in the real world.
We need to see the whole document in order to know the truth.
On Friday, the FBI released a severely redacted version of the 38-page affidavit submitted to Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart in support of the application to search former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida. The redactions conceal much of the text, including the parts that purportedly would explain why the FBI believed that a crime was being committed.
A flood of new images from the streets of San Francisco have brought into stark focus the extent of the city’s ongoing homelessness problem, which has driven some businesses to threaten to withhold tax payments.
Rows of tents were pictured lined up outside businesses with people’s belongings strewn across the sidewalk.
Homeless individuals, some of whom were struggling with clear physical ailments as well as drug and alcohol addiction, sat in the street right outside entrances to residential properties and small businesses struggling to bounce back after highly restrictive COVID laws forced them to close, destroying revenues.
… Malcom X was a known anti-Semite: “The exploiters of blacks are the Jews,” and “the Jew is behind the integration movement.”
Stokely Carmichael, an influential black leader: “The only good Zionist is a dead Zionist,” and “We must take a lesson from Hitler.”
These examples pale in comparison to the record of Louis Farrakhan, who the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has called “the leading anti-Semite in America.” His assaults on Jews as “termites,” his description of Judaism as a “gutter religion,” his declaration that Hitler was a “great man” (later modified to “wickedly great”) have been widely reported.
A huge megalithic complex and a centuries-old church are among the underwater monuments to have resurfaced in Spain as a severe drought causes water levels to plunge.
After a prolonged dry spell, Spain’s reservoirs – which supply water for cities and farms – are at just under 36% capacity, according to environment ministry figures for August.
In Spain’s western Extremadura region, the receding waters of the Valdecañas reservoir have revealed a prehistoric stone circle on an islet that is normally underwater.
Let’s be clear from the outset: The tall, bearded man who confronted Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland in the lobby of Grande Prairie City Hall last Friday and shouted obscenities at her was entirely wrong in what he did. It is utterly and absolutely unacceptable to treat another person the way he verbally abused her, even someone in public office.
More than 100 subpoenas have been issued to techies like Jack Dorsey and Marc Andreessen as Twitter tries to force Elon Musk to complete a $44 billion deal. Law firms are stoked.
Jack Dorsey, a founder of Twitter, got a subpoena. So did Marc Andreessen, a prominent venture capitalist. Larry Ellison, Oracle’s chairman, and the investors David Sacks and Joe Lonsdale received them, too.
They were all summoned to share what they know about the rancorous, knock-down, drag-out tech spectacle of the year: the fight between Twitter and Elon Musk, the world’s richest man.
Kherson was the first major city to fall to Russia after Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Now it has become the focus of a reported counteroffensive by Kyiv’s forces to take it back.
Ukrainian claims of new attacks on Russian positions around the strategic southern port city at the mouth of the Dnieper River’s exit into the Black Sea have spurred speculation that the long-awaited attempt to seize back the region and its capital was under way.

Canada’s Liberal government has been focused for some time now on finding ways to regulate the internet. The Department of Canadian Heritage, in particular, has targeted online content and what it believes should be classified as hate speech.
Based on the recent controversy surrounding the hiring of an anti-racist consultant who turned out to be anything but, maybe Ottawa should clean its own house first.
The RCMP says it is investigating the verbal harassment of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland that occurred in Alberta on Aug. 26, saying it “takes threats against public officials seriously.”
“The RCMP, or local police of jurisdiction, review all incidents to determine the appropriate course of action,” said RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Caroline Duval in a statement to CTV News. “Physical action and statements made in person or online can have a significant impact and can be against the law.”
Shamima Begum and her two teenage friends were smuggled into Syria by a spy working for Canada – Justin Trudeau’s nation then conspired with the UK to cover up its role, a new book claims.
The so-called Jihadi Bride was stripped of her British citizenship in 2019 after she fled Britain four years earlier to join the Islamic State (IS).
Fresh revelations claim the now-23-year-old was trafficked into the Middle East by a double agent, on the payroll of both IS and Canadian intelligence.
A new analysis of 12 studies has found that trigger warnings, notes that warn readers or viewers that they could find content distressing, do not actually reduce negative reactions or increase avoidance of the material — and instead may lead to a “risk of emotional harm.”
A teenage Hindu girl has been burned alive by her alleged Muslim stalker who poured petrol over her and set her alight as she slept at her home in India.
Ankita Singh, 19, succumbed to her severe burn injuries and died on Sunday at a hospital in the city of Ranchi, in the eastern state of Jharkhand, five days after Shahrukh Hussain allegedly set her on fire.
