VERDICT: False.
The disturbing story is already viral…
UK Covid cases rise 74% in a week jeopardizing “Freedom Day”
Boris Johnson today gave the biggest hint yet that the June 21 ‘Freedom Day’ will be pushed back because of the rapid spread of the Indian Covid variant as he admitted ‘everybody can see cases are going up’ and accepted there were ‘arguments on both sides’.
The Prime Minister’s comments mark a softening in his lockdown-ending stance after previously saying there is nothing in the data to suggest the date should be delayed.
It came after the UK recorded another 7,540 positive tests in the biggest week-on-week spike since February, as the mutant strain continues to spiral.

‘You’re not even from this country, you ch**k!’ Man hurls slurs at Asian NYPD officer before yelling ‘black people can’t be racist’
Disturbing video has emerged showing a black man directing a string of racial slurs at an Asian NYPD officer during unrest in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park over the weekend.
The unnamed man is seen in the expletive-laden video, which was uploaded to Reddit on Sunday, being confronted by a group of officers who appear to ask him to move from the road onto the sidewalk.
The man, dressed in a white T-shirt and a ball cap, appears to single out the Asian-American cop and unleashes a vile tirade at him: ‘You’re not even from this country. You piece of s***. You f***ing ch**k!’
US super-rich ‘pay almost no income tax’
Details claiming to reveal how little income tax US billionaires pay have been leaked to an news website.
ProPublica says it has seen the tax returns of some of the world’s richest people, including Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett.
The website alleges Amazon’s Mr Bezos paid no tax in 2007 and 2011, while Tesla’s Mr Musk paid nothing in 2018.
A White House spokeswoman called the leak “illegal”, and the FBI and tax authorities are investigating.
GUNTER: It looks like anti-democratic Bill C-10 will be forced upon us
Not since 2000 – 21 years ago – when the Chretien Liberals were forcing through amendments to the Canada Elections Act, has a government used “time allocation” to end debate on a bill at the committee stage.
But Monday, with the backing of the Bloc Quebecois, the Trudeau Liberals told the House of Commons Heritage Committee to stop picking apart Bill C-10, the government’s Internet censorship legislation, and send it back to the Commons to be passed before summer – and a likely election.
Canada is now a shitty little country thanks to our political class.
The Guardian cancels American apple pie – links it to the ‘vast and ongoing genocide of indigenous people’
The Guardian has been mocked for branding apple pie racist after one of its writers said the treat was linked to ‘a vast and ongoing genocide of indigenous people.
Writing in the famously liberal publication, food writer Raj Patel claimed the all-American dessert was born of colonialism and slavery, after highlighting how apples had first arrived in the west from central Asia 4,000 years ago.
Emails Reveal How Influential Articles That Established COVID-19 Natural Origins Theory Were Formed
The two most significant articles promoting the “natural origins” theory for the COVID-19 outbreak originated from scientists who were part of a response team of “experts” brought in by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine (NASEM), in response to a request from a White House official.
These influential articles were used extensively by media organizations to push the natural origins theory, while simultaneously deriding alternative theories—including that of a possible lab leak—as conspiracy theories.
Hunter Biden addressed his lawyer as ‘n***a’ multiple times in shocking texts unearthed days after Joe’s emotional Tulsa speech decrying racism
Hunter Biden used the n-word multiple times in conversation with his white, $845-per-hour lawyer, his texts messages reveal.
The shocking texts may prove embarrassing for his father President Joe Biden, who just last week gave a speech decrying racism on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre, and has sought to portray racial justice as a top priority for his administration.
The president’s son joked in a January 2019 text to corporate attorney George Mesires about a ‘big penis’, and said to the lawyer: ‘I only love you because you’re black’ and ‘true dat n***a’.
Imagine if this had been a Trump.
Suspect in alleged London hate killings laughed during arrest: witness
“Nate is not a radical terrorist. He is nothing like that. He is not an Islamophobe. That’s not who this kid is,” said one friend.
The friend, who hails from the Middle East, said he never heard Veltman say a bad thing about the Middle East or Muslims. “Nate was a very close friend and never said anything bad to me,” the man said.
Another friend said Veltman “never said anything hateful” about any groups.
I wonder if CBC will publish a fake letter from the perp’s parents detailing their son’s long struggle with mental illness as they did to support the Danforth Terrorist.

Changes to Canada-U. S. border restrictions could be announced as soon as Friday
OTTAWA—An announcement could come as soon as Friday on how fully vaccinated people can more easily travel between Canada and the U.S as the first step in a plan to reopen the border.
Less than eight per cent of the Canadian population is at that mark, and although about 42 per cent of Americans have had both shots, the announcement is unlikely to mean hordes of tourists can come roaring across the border this weekend.
Fauci warns dangerous Indian COVID variant could become dominant in US
The White House chief medical adviser said he feared that the so-called Delta variant, B1.617.2, could overtake the highly contagious UK variant, known as B117, in the country — an alarming prospect we should prevent.

Moscow bans top Canadian officials, accuses them of ‘anti-Russian’ activities
The Russian foreign ministry has banned a number of Canadian officials — including Justice Minister David Lametti — from travelling to that country, citing what it claims are “anti-Russian” activities.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the ministry said Lametti, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc and a number of government officials — including the top bureaucrat at the Department of National Defence, Jody Thomas — will be barred from travelling to Russia because they have shown “inappropriate and counterproductive activity in support of the ultra-nationalist regime” in Ukraine and other “Russophobic forces” in the Baltic states.
The Largest Gun Registration and Confiscation Scheme Is Being Planned By the Biden Administration
We know Joe Biden wants to confiscate guns. He’s open about it. He wants a ban on so-called assault weapons but also high-capacity magazines, an equally moronic term. His vice president, who is getting kicked in the teeth over the border crisis in what’s turning out to be a disastrous visit to Guatemala, also said that she would issue an executive order to ban these firearms. That’s not legal, but when has that ever-stopped Democrats from waging their war on the Second Amendment. The magazine limits don’t just apply to rifles, but also handguns, meaning the millions would become felons under the Democrats’ gun confiscation scheme. We all know the endgame, but they don’t have the legislative majorities to do so. Biden is then taking to tweaking current regulations through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. It’s through this avenue that his scheme to turn millions into felons is being planned as we speak. It’s significant for sure, with many in the industry calling it the largest gun registration and confiscation scheme in American history.
