America’s oldest gun-maker Remington moves its headquarters from upstate New York to gun-friendly Georgia in $100M, 856-job deal – six weeks after Smith & Wesson moved from Massachusettes to Tennessee

Faltering gunmaker Remington Firearms will cut its 205-year-old ties to New York and move the company’s upstate headquarters to Georgia – the latest iconic weapons manufacturer to flee the restrictive Northeast for more gun-friendly laws in the South.

The company announced Monday that it would invest $100 million in a new facility in LaGrange, Georgia, southwest of Atlanta, and hire 856 people over five years.

Remington, which was founded in 1816 in Ilion, was bought out of bankruptcy for the second time in June 2020 after being weighed down by lawsuits and retail sales restrictions following the Sandy Hook massacre and other school shootings.

Accuser details sex assault allegations against CNN’s Don Lemon

A man who accused CNN’s Don Lemon of assaulting him in a Hamptons bar three years ago claimed that the alleged behavior could be part of a “pattern.”

Accuser Dustin Hice made the comments on Monday’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” even as Lemon’s attorneys have fought back against Hice’s lawsuit in court filings, accusing the ex-bartender of withholding texts, deleting social media posts and hiding a witness who contradicted his claims.

Hice claimed in his suit that Lemon had put his hand down his own pants, rubbed his private parts and then shoved his fingers into Hice’s face.

Why telling a cop you have Covid in New Jersey could get you 10 years in prison

The state used post-9/11 laws to charge people guilty of an errant cough with ‘terroristic threats’

Deja Lewis was walking down a sidewalk in Salem, New Jersey, in the early, frightening days of the Covid-19 pandemic in April 2020, when she was stopped by police.

Lewis, 28, was arrested on warrants related to failure to pay traffic tickets, and an incident in which she “escaped” from a police vehicle. She had been a witness to a fight and left the back of the patrol car, her attorney said.

While she was in custody, police said she coughed “in close proximity” to officers, and said she had Covid-19, though no dashboard, body or in-station videos exist to prove the assertion either way.

Michael Mostyn: A concerning rise in anti-Semitism, on the eve of Kristallnacht

“… To his credit, last month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau led a Canadian delegation to the Malmö International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism. In his remarks to the forum, he rightfully warned of “organizations of extremist groups on the far-right and the far-left that are pushing white supremacy, intolerance (and) radicalization, promoting hatred, fear and mistrust.”

His statement was immediately condemned by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, which objected to the prime minister equating “anti-racists and anti-fascists with white supremacists and the far-right.” This is illustrative of the problem: one of the most dangerous aspects of anti-Semitism in the West today is that right-wing and left-wing leaders often excuse Jew-hatred in their own camp, while cynically calling it out in the other.

The fact is that those who raised the swastika on Canadian streets in May, and who threatened Jews in Edmonton and Montreal , were not the Proud Boys — they were people who identify with the left. And this problem is not new. One could be forgiven for assuming that those who chanted , “The Jews are our dogs!” at a rally in 2020 were neo-Nazi skinheads, but they were actually Palestinian-Canadian high school students.”

Holy Farberammerung! As I’ve said for years, Islam’s hatred of Jews is a feature not a bug. It’s bred in the bone but yea keep those immigration floodgates open cuz diversity!

Islamist terrorists taking psychology courses to convince prison bosses they are deradicalised

Islamist terrorists are taking psychology courses to help them deceive prison bosses into believing they are deradicalised, a former prisoner governor and government adviser has said.

Prof Ian Acheson, who led a Ministry of Justice review of extremism in jails, said there was growing evidence across Europe that terrorist prisoners were successfully deceiving professionals into believing they were willing to rehabilitate, with potentially deadly consequences.

He cited four cases in the past two years of terror attacks and prison murder attempts where Islamist extremists had been able to mount them after securing new freedoms on release or in jail due to their ability to manipulate the authorities into thinking they had given up jihad.

Diane Francis: The problem with electric cars

The hype and mythologizing over electric vehicles (EVs) afflicts policy-making and leads to costly subsidies that produce little environmental benefits, according to Danish climate expert Bjorn Lomborg.

“In Norway, there are more EVs per person than anywhere in the world and studies show that people have two cars — a (subsidized) EV car to go `virtue signalling’ and the real car for use for real stuff,” said Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus think tank and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, in an interview with the Financial Post. “Norwegians use the gasoline car a lot more and drive less in a green car. A new study from a select group showed they only drove 5,000 miles a year, on average. This estimate was based on their electricity usage.”

Doug Ford’s hopes for Ontario’s electric vehicle industry hinge on mining its Ring of Fire

Premier Doug Ford’s government is touting Ontario as a future electric vehicle manufacturing hub, and linking that to a fresh push for a huge mining development in the northern part of the province.

Ford’s Progressive Conservatives want to lure the big automakers to produce electric vehicles in southern Ontario. A key part of that strategy involves opening up the so-called Ring of Fire mineral deposit, located more than 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay in an area home to Indigenous people.

‘It’s a nightmare’ – Russian figure skating icon Slutskaya on ‘unusual’ men’s rhythmic gymnastics

Russian former figure skating world champion Irina Slutskaya says it is ‘unusual’ to see male performers ‘who want to be like women’ as she spoke out against men competing in the typically feminine sport of rhythmic gymnastics.

Appearing on a YouTube talk show with Russian RT journalist Anton Krasovsky, Slutskaya was asked about the possibility of male rhythmic gymnastics becoming more recognized – particularly as women freely compete in traditionally men’s sports such as boxing.

Rittenhouse Trial: Alleged Victim Gaige Grosskreutz Implodes, Admits Had Glock Pointed At Kyle When Shot, Lied to Police About It

It would be hard to fully express what a catastrophe this day was for Prosecutor Binger. State laughably responds with suddenly-discovered drone footage.

Today was the fifth day of the trial by which ADA Thomas Binger’s is seeking to have Kyle Rittenhouse convicted and sentenced to life in prison for having shot three men (two fatally) the night of August 25, 2020 in Kenosha WI, when the city was suffering a tsunami of rioting, looting, and arson following the lawful shooting of a knife-wielding Jacob Blake by Kenosha police officers.

And it would be hard to fully express what a catastrophe this day was for Prosecutor Binger.

Jeffrey F. Collins: Without plan for new submarines Canada faces defence gap in the Arctic

A Department of National Defence briefing note identifies the urgent need to “kick off without delay” a replacement project for the Royal Canadian Navy’s (RCN) four Victoria-class submarines. The British built vessels, acquired second hand in 1998 by the Chrétien government in a nearly $900 million lease-to-buy contract, are due to be retired or “paid off” 15 years from now, between 2036 and 2042 . At that point the submarines will be 50 years old.

Watch: Eerie “Warning” Video Emerges From Anonymous Group Claiming to be “Procter and Gamble” Employees

As you likely know by now, Joe Biden’s “emergency” vaccine mandate will be implemented by January 4th. That’s right, it’s such an “emergency” that it can wait until after the new year. I think that’s what the Democrats call “science.” Regardless of when it happens, one thing is for certain, the mandates will affect many people. We’ve already seen it happening with the airlines, where AA and Southwest had to cancel thousands of flights, reportedly because of employees rebelling against the mandates by calling in with the “freedom flu.” Of course, the media and the airlines tried to play it off like it was the “weather,” but the American people are not idiots.

Now, another group is stepping forward to send a warning to Americans. A group of anonymous people claiming to be “Procter and Gamble” employees have created a video to warn Americans how bad things will probably get after Biden’s mandates take effect.

This video lays out what will probably happen to the already weakened supply chain, and this info coincides with a recent report from Trucking companies that claim they won’t be able to move nearly as many goods and supplies once the mandates hit.

Conservative alarmism over jobs data is either dishonest or delusional

Last Friday morning, Statistics Canada greeted the country with a monthly employment report that, by any reasonable assessment, was good news.

Jobs increased by a modest but healthy 31,000 in October, adding to September’s surge of 157,000 jobs. The unemployment rate fell to 6.7 per cent, the lowest since the pandemic began. Full-time employment accounted for all the gains. Private-sector hiring rose by 70,000. Hours worked were up. Wages were up.

But to hear the Conservative opposition’s spin, this was all very bad news indeed. It was smoking-gun evidence of economic mismanagement at its worst.
