Biden’s Border Toll – Migrants increasingly die crossing into U.S. from Mexico

In the early hours of Friday, May 6, Gerardo Avila and five other migrants scaled the 18-foot U.S. border wall next to a Mexican highway, about a quarter mile west of the Otay Mesa port of entry in San Diego.

Avila had been deported to Mexico a few weeks earlier after three decades in the United States, and was trying to get back to his family for Mother’s Day, relatives said. As he was climbing, bright lights from a border patrol vehicle flashed in the direction of the wall, illuminating the foggy night sky. Agents heard a scream and saw Avila fall about 15 feet, according to a Border Patrol statement, which identified him only as a “male citizen of Mexico.”

Avila, 47, was declared dead at the scene. The others were rushed to hospital.

Think You’ve Never Had Covid-19? Think Again.

Most people have been infected with the virus, epidemiologists say, even if some don’t realize it

Charley Ding spent weeks early in the pandemic intubating patients sick with Covid-19. The 42-year-old anesthesiologist in South Barrington, Ill., said he has since watched most of the doctors and nurses he works with get infected at some point.

But he’s never gotten Covid-19, he said. “It’s probably a combination of being careful, maybe being blessed with a good immune system,” he said. “But also just luck.”

So-Called ‘Canadian’ was ‘prolific propagandist’ in ISIS, U.S. prosecutors say

U.S. prosecutors are seeking a life sentence for a Canadian they call one of the “most prolific propagandists” in the so-called Islamic State.

In materials filed in court ahead of his sentencing hearing, prosecutors said Mohammed Khalifa was a “formidable figure within ISIS.”

Not only did he produce gory videos used by ISIS to incite attacks and recruit, but he also executed two Syrian soldiers, the U.S. Attorney’s Office wrote.

Ukraine war: Russia denies causing global food crisis

Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, on a diplomatic offensive in Egypt, has dismissed claims that Moscow caused the global food crisis.

In a speech to Arab League ambassadors in Cairo, he said Western nations were distorting the truth about the impact of sanctions on global food security.

He accused Western nations of trying to impose their dominance over others.

He’s right. Assholes like Trudeau are using the Ukraine crisis as cover to implement their lunatic green-scam and deny farmers fertilizer. Look no further than Sri Lanka to see what’s in store for Canada’s agriculture sector.

Crypto faces a ‘Lehman moment’ as collapse of Celsius leaves investors sweating

The ‘cryptopocalypse’ shines a light on a murky world that has lost punters billions

Alex Mashinsky sat po-faced in a suit and tie – a stark change from his typical T-shirts emblazoned with “banks are not your friends”. It was the millionaire’s first public appearance since his cryptocurrency company froze the accounts of 1.7m customers in June – and he was watching its bankruptcy hearing last week.

The collapse of Celsius, which was valued at $3bn (£2.5bn) with $25bn in assets, has been described as cryptocurrency’s “Lehman moment”.

Other lenders and exchanges are still grappling with what Mashinsky calls a “cryptopocalypse”, desperately trying to borrow their way out of a market rout that has wiped trillions from the value of digital coins. A string of bankruptcies has shone a light on the murky world of cryptocurrency lending that has so far cost investors billions of pounds.

Has anyone else noticed how news on the cryptocollapse has been strangely muted these last weeks?

Did Our Health Experts Lie About COVID Vaccines?

Former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx says she knew that the COVID-19 vaccines would not protect against infection.

“I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection. And I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it’s not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization,” she told Fox News. “It will. But let’s be very clear: 50% of the people who died from the Omicron surge were older, vaccinated. So that’s why I’m saying even if you’re vaccinated and boosted, if you’re unvaccinated right now, the key is testing and Paxlovid. It’s effective. It’s a great antiviral. And really, that is what’s going to save your lives right now if you’re over 70, which if you look at the hospitalizations, hospitalizations are rising steadily with new admissions, particularly in those over 70. And so if you live in the South — I know people keep talking about the fall — I’m worried about the South.”

Putin’s biker gang The Night Wolves is slapped with sanctions after staging rallies and concerts in support of Ukraine war with help of their 44 chapters across Europe

A militant anti-Ukrainian motorcycle gang run by a friend and vehement supporter of Vladmir Putin was one of many hit by a round of sanctions from the EU this week – though its boss dismissed them as having ‘no meaning.’

The Hell’s Angels-esque biker group, The Night Wolves, has more than 7,000 members – and have staged rallies and protests in support of the country’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Members have also been said to have fought alongside pro-Russian militants in the ongoing war, and participated in attacks on the conflict’s eastern front.

US “Journalists” continue to spread “Mass Graves” lie

From the Daily Beast…

ROME—Pope Francis will arrive in Canada on Sunday to ask for atonement for the hasty burial of hundreds of Indigenous children—as young as 3—who died in the Catholic Church’s care from the 19th century to the 1970s.

The trip is a product of the 2021 discovery of an unmarked grave containing the remains of some 215 Indigenous children who died in a Catholic residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Around 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from families to be “retrained” in Christian beliefs in the 19th century in a practice that carried on for decades.

There’s really no excuse for this nonsense. No graves, no bodies, no nothing but a twisted narrative.

‘Here for bad optics’: So-called ‘Nazis’ at TPUSA event seen as ‘Fed Op,’ group quick to split when confronted

A group of self-proclaimed Nazis appeared outside Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit conference this weekend in Tampa, but critics say all the evidence points to them once again having been Democrats in disguise.

Some of the evidence was provided by Tayler Hansen, a field reporter with the conservative outlet Next News Network.

When Hansen asked the Nazis why they’d shown up together, they feigned ignorance and acted as if they’d each come out there individually.

Pride in Canada’s military has eroded over the past year: report

Canadians have a high opinion of their military but recent sexual misconduct scandals in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have damaged its reputation, says a new report commissioned by the Department of National Defence.

The report, which was prepared by Earnscliffe Strategy Group, includes results from a web and phone survey conducted in 2021 and a series of online discussions conducted by focus groups in 2022. It found participants’ opinions of the military are less positive now than previous studies reported and Canadians are growing more concerned about sexism and racism in the ranks.

I think this tells half the story. Few want a “woke” CAF.
