The Hamas Rocket Attacks Are Based on a Lie

Israel is on the brink of war with the terrorist group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip. This past week, Hamas launched more than 1,600 rockets into Israel — most of which got intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome — after a violent confrontation between Israeli police and Palestinian rioters at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, the Temple Mount, near the third-holiest site in Islam. The rioters had protested the eviction of Palestinians who have not paid rent for living on land allegedly owned by Israelis. The riot broke out just before Israel’s Supreme Court could decide the issue.

Hollywood Survey Shows ‘Pervasive Issues of Toxic Workplaces, Bullying, and Abuse in Entertainment‘

A new report has found that Hollywood’s culture of bullying, abusive behavior, and employee mistreatment continues unabated despite high-profile scandals that have drawn widespread attention to the problem.

‘End of an Era’: Lemon Abruptly Announces ‘Changes Are Coming’ to ‘CNN Tonight’

In a rather muted announcement Friday night, CNN’s Don Lemon appeared to announce the end of CNN Tonight with him at the helm and promised to share more in the days to come. But the cryptic message left many people scratching their heads and some wondering if he was out at CNN altogether, moving to a new project with the network, and who will host the coming Monday?

Americans Have the Right to Know About Biden’s Upcoming Deal with Iran’s Mullahs

Since the nuclear talks began in Vienna between the Iranian regime and P5+1, the Biden administration has avoided being transparent about what is going on with the negotiations and what exactly is being offered to the Iranian regime — the one that the US Department of Justice has called the “the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism.

Rex Murphy: CBC loses farcical lawsuit against the Conservatives, but secular moralizing will continue

CBC lost a court case yesterday. But, apart from possibly having to pay costs, it doesn’t matter. Not one bit.

For the few who have happily forgotten about the affair, its key points were that CBC management and their chief correspondent (named in the suit originally, but after very predictable embarrassments, her name was removed) sued one of Canada’s two main parties.

Biden’s Blast from the Past – The Return of the Misery Index

This week has the distinct smell of Democrats in charge. We have gas lines again, more cars waiting to fill up their gas tanks than ever waiting to hear candidate Joe Biden speak at his sparsely attended campaign car rallies.

War is breaking out in the Middle East with Palestinian militants lobbing missiles at Israel, and Israel appropriately responding to attacks on its homeland. I wonder if Obama’s “pallets of cash” paid for any Hamas missiles? Or if the planned restoration of $235 million in US aid to the Palestinians has freed up cash for missiles?

Inflation and unemployment are both rising. It’s like traveling back in time to the late 1970s, dancing to the Bee Gees’ “Stayin Alive” under a mirror disco ball. But now it’s 2021 and we are dancing to Biden’s fiddle.

The rhyme these days is something older readers may remember, the “Misery Index”. One can hearken back to the days of President Jimmy Carter, the former peanut farmer turned US President, from 1976 to 1980, before Ronald Reagan taught America what conservatism was and could offer not only to America but the world.

‘New information’ discovered in Barry and Honey Sherman murder case from previously interviewed witnesses

People interviewed by Toronto homicide detectives in the early days of the Barry and Honey Sherman murder probe have recently handed over new information “previously unknown to investigators,” according to police documents filed in court.

The people — police have not identified them or said what they revealed — provided the information to detectives after the release of Sherman police files last December in response to a Toronto Star challenge of sealing orders on police search warrant documents.

Meanwhile, detectives have made a second international request for information they believe will help them solve the 2017 killing of the billionaire couple. As was the case with a previous international request last year, police refuse to say which country they have sought help from.

Video captures mysterious flying object near US Navy ship

Video captures mysterious flying object near US Navy ship

Video taken aboard a US Navy ship off the coast of San Diego shows a mysterious, spherical object flying in the air before disappearing into the ocean, reports said Friday.

The footage is the source of two freeze frame images of unidentified flying objects previously released that a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed was recorded by US Navy personnel, FOX 8 reported.

The black and white clip, taken aboard the USS Omaha in July 2019, shows a small round object flying parallel to the ocean, hovering for a moment before it drops into the water out of sight.

Paris braces for pro-Palestinian rally despite ban over anti-Semitic violence fears

Paris braced for possible clashes on Saturday as organisers vowed to hold a march in support of the Palestinians through the French capital despite a ban by authorities fearing a flare-up of anti-Semitic violence.

Police have ordered shops to close from noon along the planned route, from the heavily immigrant Barbes neighbourhood in the north to the place de la Bastille.

Police had banned the march, and a court upheld the decision, fearing a repeat of fierce clashes that erupted during a similar Paris demonstration during the last Israel-Palestinians war in 2014, when protesters took aim at synagogues and other Israeli and Jewish targets.

Most Canadians say they are unlikely to travel outside of their community this summer: Nanos survey

OTTAWA — New polling by Nanos Research has found that a strong majority of Canadians won’t be travelling outside of their communities this summer, despite the expected easing of public health restrictions and the acceleration of vaccinations.

According to the survey, commissioned by CTV News, nearly 70 per cent of respondents said they were either “unlikely” or “somewhat unlikely” to travel, while 28 per cent said they were “likely” or “somewhat likely.” Three per cent were “unsure,” even if their community is under a stay-at-home order.


U.K. officials race to test, vaccinate as COVID-19 variant threatens reopening plans

Britain deployed public health officials, supported by the army, to distribute COVID-19 tests door-to-door in two northern England towns on Saturday in an effort to contain a fast-spreading variant that threatens plans to lift all lockdown restrictions next month.

Cases of a strain first identified in India have more than doubled in a week, defying a sharp nationwide downward trend in infections won by months of restrictions and a rapid vaccination campaign. Government scientific advisers say the variant is likely more transmissible than the U.K.’s dominant strain, though it’s unclear by how much.

We know the Indian variant has been found in Ontario but so far there is no data on what if any impact it may be having.

Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin leader of vaccine campaign under military investigation for sexual assault

When will Hot Lips Houlihan be charged?

The major-general leading Canada’s vaccine logistics at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is stepping down under the cloud of a military investigation into a sexual misconduct allegation.

The Department of National Defence issued a terse three-line statement late Friday, saying that Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin is leaving his post and his future will be decided by the acting chief of the defence staff.

Neither the military, nor the department would say what kind of investigation has been launched, whether it involves military police, or if it is some other kind of internal review.
