Eva Vlaardingerbroek says her ban from entering Britain, issued just days after she criticised the state of free speech under Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, means “my point that the UK is no longer a free country has been indisputably proven.”
Toronto lawyer suspended while facing weapons charges involving machete, box cutter and hammer
A Toronto lawyer charged last year with a string of criminal offences, including allegedly driving with a suspended licence with a machete in his car and threatening people at a store with a box cutter, has seen his licence to practice law in Ontario suspended temporarily.
The Law Society of Ontario learned last August that Behrouz Shafiei-Sararoodi, who goes by Shafiei, was facing criminal charges that he hadn’t told them about.
ISIS Lawyer?
WTF?
This is what we are up against, a level of retardation that defies all logic. Retardation so strong, they try to out retard each other.

How ‘day zero’ water shortages in Iran are fuelling protests
Gripped by a terrible drought now entering its sixth year, Iran’s cities are on the brink of what its meteorological organisation calls “water day zero”: the boundary beyond which supply systems no longer function. This was crossed by Chennai in India in summer 2019 and is now threatening Mashhad, Tabriz and Tehran, where taps in the city’s southern districts had already run dry by early December.
Nightly “pressure cuts”, in which the water supply is halted to whole districts in the capital, have become the norm. Protesters demanding “Water, electricity, life – our basic right” over the summer were already risking a clampdown.
According to the Middle East expert Juan Cole, the head of the regional water company reported in early November that the five main water supply dams to Tehran, the capital, were only 11% full, and criticised the government for its inaction.
BARBER: US doesn’t need Canada anymore and that changes everything
In October 2025, President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Busan, South Korea. Both leaders were in Busan for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. Although they reached a temporary agreement, considerable tension had built up before the meeting. President Trump had imposed very high tariffs on Chinese goods, while President Xi had placed export restrictions on some goods destined for the US as well as the EU. Most importantly, President Xi restricted rare earths; China believed it held a strong bargaining position because it dominates the rare earth market.

British Columbia Ends Program That Aimed to Curb Arrests of Drug Users
A program in British Columbia to decriminalize drug use and allow users access to public health services rather than be charged by the police with narcotics possession is ending after three years of intense political backlash.
The experimental pilot began in January 2023, after British Columbia, the center of Canada’s opioid crisis, received a legal exemption from the federal authorities that enabled drug users to carry minuscule amounts of cocaine, opioids, methamphetamines and MDMA, also known as Ecstasy.
Trump ‘talked out of Iran strike at last minute’
Donald Trump was persuaded not to strike Iran on Wednesday night by the last-minute diplomatic efforts of Persian Gulf states.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman made urgent calls to Washington to persuade the US president to delay military action and allow Tehran to demonstrate “good intentions”.
Late on Wednesday, Mr Trump appeared to step back from imminent action, saying he had been assured that “the killing in Iran is stopping”.
Spiky-haired lesbian judge who owns rainbow gun slammed over outrageous courtroom remark to female defendant
A lesbian judge was condemned after telling a female defendant who’d suffered a pregnancy scare to buy a vibrator because it would cause her ‘less trouble’, former staffers said.
Bexar County Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez oversees Reflejo Court, which is a trauma-informed treatment program which hopes to help first-time domestic violence offenders deal with the root causes of their issues rather than jail time.
Greenland Is the Flashpoint: China and Russia Test NATO, Canada, and Indigenous Arctic Jurisdictions
OTTAWA — The Arctic is no longer a margin. It is a hinge. It anchors nuclear deterrence, opens future maritime routes, and holds resources vital to global economies.
Over time, NATO Arctic countries have deployed forces, conducted exercises, and invested in infrastructure, but these measures have not kept pace with Russian and Chinese activity, evolving operational risks, and shifting environmental dynamics. Russian under-ice submarine operations, Chinese dual-use activity, and growing pressure on Arctic infrastructure are expanding as ice coverage shifts and navigable waters increase.

Don’t trust your doctor . . . and the other lessons covid taught me
IT’S SIX years, almost to the day, since many of us first heard the word covid – but we certainly haven’t heard the last of it. I expect that any day now I will get an invitation to come for ‘my’ covid spring vaccination. Naturally I will ignore it as I have ignored all the others, but I seem unable to stop them from coming.
We now know that covid – or at least the fear of it and the restrictions that followed – caused a trail of economic destruction which may never be repaired. But for me, covid actually did a good turn as it enabled me finally to wake up as to what was going on all around me.
The Moral Blackmailing of the American People
In Springfield, Illinois, in 1838, a young Abraham Lincoln delivered a powerful speech decrying the “ravages of mob law” throughout the land. Lincoln warned, in eerily prescient fashion, that the spread of a then-ascendant “mobocratic spirit” threatened to sever the “attachment of the People” to their fellow countrymen and their nation. Lincoln’s opposition to anarchy of any kind was absolute and clarion: “There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.”

Alberta teacher preaches anti-conservative rant to students
A Fort Saskatchewan high school teacher was caught berating students with an anti-conservative rant about society.
“Your entire society is built on ‘F*** Trudeau’ sticker, ‘Oil pipelines, now.’ ‘You bad, I good.’ ‘Angry,'” said the teacher to his students. “Okay, but you can’t control your entire society with anger.”

Hunter Biden’s stripper baby mama asks for him to be ARRESTED over claims he is still failing to pay her child support
The mother of Hunter Biden’s child has asked an Arkansas judge to have him arrested for failing to fulfil a child support agreement, in new court filings.
Lunden Roberts, 34, filed an emotional plea to the judge on Tuesday, reopening her child support case against the felonious former First Son, who is now an artist.
Roberts settled her claims against Hunter for alleged millions in unpaid child support in 2023, letting him off the hook with a reported $5,000 per month in support payments and an agreement that he would meet with their daughter, then age 4, and let her pick out some of his paintings.

What is the Insurrection Act?
President Donald Trump has again threatened to invoke a rarely used 19th Century law, this time to deploy the military to Minneapolis, Minnesota where thousands continue to protest against the large presence of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
The demonstrations have intensified after an ICE officer fatally shot a protester, Renee Good, in her car last week. This week, federal law enforcement shot a man in the leg in Minneapolis in a move federal officials say was self defence.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that “if the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT”.
Federal agents used pepper spray to push through an ANGRY crowd that tried to block their vehicles in a Somali neighborhood in Minnesota.
I'm all for using pepper spray to disperse an angry, violent mob.
How about you??
