“Hillary Clinton’s all-encompassing ambition will ensure that she can never be completely counted out for a presidential run as long as she is still drawing breath,” noted Robert Spencer recently. With Biden more addled by the day, and few prospects on the bench, such a run could indeed happen — especially with Hillary’s recent hints on the matter.
But Hillary has a problem.
German police have been criticised for using Covid-tracking data to trace contacts from bars and restaurants as part of an investigation.
The case, stemming from November last year, began after the fatal fall of a man while leaving a restaurant in the western city of Mainz.
Police seeking possible witnesses made use of data from an app known as Luca, which was designed for users to register time spent in restaurants and taverns to track the possible spread of coronavirus.
The Ontario government quietly dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, producing a new dataset that reveals how many people were actually admitted to hospitals in the province because they were suffering from COVID-19.
A columnist from Up North warns that soon Canada might have to intervene in America
We begin today by heading north, past Vermont, over Winterfell, above the Arctic Circle, beyond the part of the map labeled “monsters be here,” and into Canada. There do we find a writer named John Ibbitson, who recently published a piece for the Toronto Globe and Mail warning that American democracy may not be long for this world. “If the next presidential election reveals the U.S. hurtling toward possible violence and autocracy,” Ibbitson asks, “should Canada try to intervene?”
The attacker who slugged a Jewish man for wearing an Israel Defense Forces sweatshirt in Brooklyn was busted Tuesday, cops said.
Suleiman Othman, 27, of Staten Island, was nabbed at 8:50 a.m. Tuesday in connection to the Dec. 26 attack on 21-year-old Blake Zavadsky outside the Foot Locker store on 86th Street near Fifth Avenue.
When it comes to battling the COVID-19 pandemic, not only is the federal government too slow to act, it fundamentally misunderstands what’s happening in Canada now. Justin Trudeau’s government divides its time between useless attempts to keep Omicron out of the country and blaming the unvaccinated for our problems. Meanwhile, it’s dragging its heels on the one thing that might really help.

Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday grilled a top FBI official on whether bureau informants were present at the Jan. 6 riots — zeroing in on a man named Ray Epps.
Jill Sanborn, the FBI’s executive assistant director for the national security branch, refused to answer key questions, saying she could not disclose “sources and methods.” Sanborn said she was not aware of any FBI agents inciting violent or criminal conduct on Jan. 6.
RCMP Commish urges people to tell them when they spot ‘anti-government’ opinions on Net
“When in doubt, report it,” Commissioner Brenda Lucki said in a statement.
“Canadians go about their daily lives and routines. It’s easy to overlook the seemingly ordinary moments that make up our days.”
The RCMP yesterday issued a guide that encouraged Internet users to watch for people with suspicious politics or “anti-authority” views that “include anti-government, anti-law enforcement and anarchist” opinions or “grievance-driven ideologies.”
Like Islam or Antifa? I kid myself.
Cambridge University has scrapped its prison rehabilitation programme after a convicted terrorist went on a bloody rampage in London.
Freed terrorist Usman Khan, 28, convinced staff at the Learning Together programme he was a reformed character before killing two graduates.
Khan, wearing a fake suicide vest with kitchen knives strapped to his hands, stabbed rehab worker Jack Merritt, 25, and volunteer Saskia Jones, 23, at an event at Fishmonger’s Hall to mark the scheme’s fifth anniversary. He then ran on to London Bridge where he was shot dead by police on November 29, 2019.
Labour and some Tory MPs are demanding immediate answers on whether Boris Johnson attended a drinks event in the Downing Street garden during lockdown.
In heated scenes in the Commons, Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said the PM “can run, but can’t hide” from scrutiny over the May 2020 gathering.
And Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross said Mr Johnson must quit if found to have broken Covid rules.
The PM has declined to say whether he went to the drinks. (That of course means he did. – Ed)
This is about the party at Downing Street all of five days earlier, plus some other ones.
On Monday, ITV published a leaked email from Mr Johnson’s principal private secretary, Martin Reynolds, inviting 100 staff to “socially distanced drinks in the No 10 garden” on 20 May 2020 – when lockdown rules in England banned large outdoor gatherings.
The invitation encouraged people to “bring your own booze” and “make the most of the lovely weather”.

Syrian-born TV host Faisal Al-Kasim recently asked his 5.9 million followers on Twitter the following: “Which is better, Israel’s reputation or Iran’s reputation in the [Middle East] region?” The result of the poll showed that 74.8% viewed Israel as having a better reputation as opposed to 25.2% in favor of Iran.
The next day, Al-Kasim, who hosts a popular debate show on the Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera network called The Opposite Direction, conducted another survey on Twitter. This time, he asked his followers: “Do you support the Israeli bombing of Iran and its militias in Syria?”
According to the results of the poll, 77.8% said they supported the Israeli military strikes, while only 22.2% voiced opposition.
Smart guns, which can only be fired by a verified user, may soon hit the US market after two decades of questions about reliability and concerns of hacking.
LodeStar Works, SmartGunz and Biofire are just several companies making a push into the industry with their high-tech guns – and some could be available this year.
Most smart guns are designed with fingerprint unlocking or radio frequency identification technology that enables the gun to fire only when a chip in the gun communicates with another chip worn by the user in a ring or bracelet.
A “close friend” of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was charged with treason in Kazakhstan according to a report in the Washington Examiner.

A court in Saudi Arabia has for the first time ordered that a man convicted of sexual harassment be named and shamed in public, local media report.
Yasser al-Arawi was found guilty by the Criminal Court in Medina of harassing a woman using obscene remarks.
He was sentenced to eight months in prison and fined $1,330 (£980).
The anti-harassment law was amended a year ago to allow for offenders’ names and sentences to be published in local newspapers at their own expense.
