Sen. Rubio to 60 Minutes: UFO presence should be taken as serious threat ahead of Pentagon report

Sen. Marco Rubio said during an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” that so-called “UFOs” are a real subject that can’t be ignored by lawmakers any longer because they pose a serious threat to U.S. national security.

Rubio’s comments to the television news magazine follow an eyebrow-raising report last week during a segment on Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” The host featured a video clip captured by sailors aboard a U.S. Navy warship in the summer of 2019 showing an “unidentified aerial phenomenon,” or UAP, as they are now called, being tracked for a distance above the ocean before disappearing into the water.

Anti-Israel protests in Germany prompt calls for antisemitism crackdown

Politicians in Germany have called for tougher measures against antisemitism after thousands of people attended what became aggressive protests at the weekend in connection with the escalating violence in the Middle East.

In the most violent protest, in the southern Berlin district of Neukölln, demonstrators who had gathered to show solidarity with Palestinians burned Israeli flags, chanted anti-Israel slogans and flew Hamas banners.

“We are experiencing antisemitic protests and despicable hatred towards Jews in these days, which makes it vital that we take on antisemitism much more decisively,” Paul Ziemiak, the general secretary of the Christian Democrats, told German media.

FUREY: Let’s face it, Ontario’s stay-at-home order is effectively over

There was one event in particular that I watched unfold over the weekend that signalled to me the death knell, in practical terms, of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s controversial “stay-at-home” order.

Yes, there were a number of dead giveaways that highlighted just how many Ontarians weren’t following the rules as much as Ford, Dr. David Williams and Solicitor General Sylvia Jones would have liked.

Responsibility for the Latest Upsurge in Arab-Israeli Violence Goes to US President Joe Biden

Responsibility for the Latest Upsurge in Arab-Israeli Violence Goes to US President Joe Biden

Full responsibility for the latest upsurge in Arab-Israeli violence goes to US President Joe Biden as a result of the policies of appeasement and capitulation he has pursued in the Middle East.

When Mr Biden took office in January, the Middle East was enjoying one of its rare moments of optimism, mainly due to the successful approach adopted by his predecessor, President Donald J. Trump.

Twitter suspends user for saying a man cannot get pregnant

Twitter suspends user for saying a man cannot get pregnant

If you don’t live in Spain and you’ve never heard of Francisco José Contreras, you’re to be forgiven. He’s not exactly a household name in international politics. But he’s an elected official who serves as a deputy in Spain’s Vox party, so he has a voice that carries some weight in Spanish politics. That voice disappeared from Twitter for the better part of a day recently, however. The Twitter lords deemed that one of Contreras’ tweets represented hate speech and suspended his account until he agreed to delete it.

Twitter is a pile of shit.

The lone detective and the Barry and Honey Sherman murder case

For the last three and a half years, five days a week, Detective-Constable Dennis Yim of the Toronto police homicide squad sits at his computer, either at police headquarters or his home due to pandemic restrictions. He starts early in the morning, puts in his shift, repeats the next day, looking through data and documents for a proverbial needle in a haystack.

He’s the lone full-time investigator on the high-profile murders of billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman.

An Israeli diplomat said on Sunday that the government provided ‘smoking gun’ evidence to President Joe Biden about the high-rise its forces obliterated.

But Blinken appeared to go against their claims, said the U.S. is seeking additional evidence from and has demanded a full explanation from the Israelis.

‘Unjustified fears’: When COVID-19 anxiety stops making sense

Polls keep showing that the public believes COVID-19 disease is way deadlier and more pervasive than it really is

The COVID-19 variants, it was roundly said, were attacking the bodies of young people with unprecedented ferocity.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the U.K. variant had been “proven to be more dangerous in children and young people.” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe just this week said that the variants are “shown to be more dangerous to young people.”

CDC’s about-face on masks appears politically motivated to help a struggling Biden

So, what’s going on here? Could this decision by the CDC and fully supported by the Biden administration – whose members have sported masks outdoors and otherwise for months while fully vaccinated – have something to do with politics?

Of course it does, because it’s safe to say that the post-honeymoon stage for the new president is going excessively poorly.
