At least seven people have been killed by a knife-wielding attacker in north-eastern China, media reports say.
Another seven people were reported wounded in the mass stabbing, which took place in Kaiyuan, a small city in Liaoning province.
Police have arrested a suspect, the state-run Xinhua news agency reports, although a motive remains unclear.
Witnesses described seeing a man stabbing people seemingly at random.
Good thing they have gun control in China.
Democrat vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris has claimed that she grew up celebrating Kwanzaa, but because of the senator’s history of lying about virtually everything, few appear to believe her.
In a ratioed Twitter video posted on Saturday, i.e., on Kwanzaa, the senator stated, “My sister and I, we grew up celebrating Kwanzaa.”
Our Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories. The whole family would gather around across multiple generations and we’d tell stories and light the candles.
Whether you’re celebrating this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy Kwanzaa! pic.twitter.com/21bzGHZpYe

Ontario is reporting 2,005 new COVID-19 cases and 18 new deaths on Sunday, a third straight day of declines after marking a record high earlier in the week.
“Locally, there are 572 new cases in Toronto, 331 in Peel, 207 in York Region and 140 in Windsor-Essex County,” Health Minister Christine Elliott wrote on Twitter.
Canada confirms first two cases of mutant COVID strain from the UK: Fears grow that super-infectious virus is already spreading through North America after doctors said travel restrictions were imposed too late
I have a New Year’s resolution for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
After more than five years in power, he should take responsibility for his decisions, as opposed to blaming others.
Canadians stranded in the United Kingdom are facing uncertainty around how or when they will be able to get home and in some cases where they will stay while waiting out the travel ban.
Brooke Johnston, 42, is from Ontario’s Niagara Region but had travelled to London for work. Her contract ended on Dec. 18, and she had been preparing to leave when Canada suspended all commercial and private passenger flights from Britain.
That initial 72-hour suspension on flights from the U.K. has now been extended for two weeks until Jan. 6, as Canada tries to prevent a new variant of the novel coronavirus detected there from spreading here.
The comments on this piece are virtually 100% against government assistance for anyone who travelled despite government advice to avoid doing so during the pandemic.
After a handful of fans voiced their displeasure before a December 15 game against Colchester, the club reacted by launching an investigation.
“Each case has been looked at separately,” the club said in a statement. “Conclusions reached range from education and support without any ban through to bans to the end of the season with season tickets refunded.”
The camper van blast in Nashville on Christmas Day was probably a suicide bombing, law enforcement officials are quoted as saying by US media.
Investigators are conducting DNA tests after human remains were found near the site of the powerful blast.
The home of a possible person of interest was searched on Saturday in Nashville’s suburb of Antioch.
The blast injured three people and disrupted communications systems in Tennessee and four other states.
A health-care network with clinics in Boro Park, Bensonhurst and Williamsburg is under a criminal investigation for giving unauthorized COVID-19 vaccines, officials said Saturday.
ParCare Community Health Network “may have fraudulently obtained COVID-19 vaccine, transferred it to facilities in other parts of the state in violation of state guidelines and diverted it to members of the public,” state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker said in a news release.
The statement came hours after The Post questioned a state health department spokesman about ParCare giving the coveted inoculations.
Well that didn’t take long.
Indeed, increasing refugee admissions is a high priority for the Biden transition team, we are told.
Now there is a little waffling from the team, but those who stand to gain financially and otherwise from increased refugee admissions are trying to keep him focused (I expect that is a challenge considering his mental condition).
China rudely dismissed German UN Ambassador Christoph Heusgen’s plea to release two Canadian detainees – Michael Kovrig and Michael Pavor, known as the “2 Michaels” – from custody in China.
Russia has revived a Soviet-era research facility to test weapons in severe Arctic conditions as the Kremlin aims to boost its defence in the resource-rich region. This also comes at a time when the country faces military challenges along its western borders. Sergei Karasev, senior official at the Central Scientific-Research Institute for Precision Machine Engineering, Russia’s weapons maker, announced in a statement on Thursday that it had restored testing chambers at the facility to simulate extreme conditions, including extreme heat, cold and wet weather.
Yes, you read correctly – Trudeau has announced a 566% increase in his carbon tax!
On a cold Friday December 11th, right before the House of Commons rose for the Christmas holiday, Justin Trudeau revealed his government’s new climate plan, A Healthy Environment and A Healthy Economy.
Presumptive President-elect Joe Biden has promised that a lot will get done on “day one” of his potential administration — a federal mask mandate coming at the head of those things Biden believes he can unilaterally order.
Big Tech companies may face an eye-popping $2.2 million fine if they violate the new ruling and censor any lawful free speech online, according to PolandIN.com. Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro is apparently taking the issue of censorship and freedom of speech quite seriously in the nation in central Europe.
At least 4,500 restaurants in New York City have permanently closed their doors in the wake of COVID-19 lockdowns. Thanks to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s latest dictate, that number looks sure to surge.
Amid rising COVID-19 cases, the Democrat ordered an end to all indoor dining in New York City starting on Monday. NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has fully supported this mandate.
Stockholm and other Swedish municipalities have adopted a “gender equal plowing strategy” that prioritizes sidewalks, bike paths and bus lanes ahead of streets frequented by cars when snow falls.
It’s an attempt to spend more public dollars on women, who are more likely to travel by foot, bicycle or public transportation.
A group of about a dozen people clad in white hazmat-like suits and expressionless masks roamed through a Toronto mall Wednesday.
A video of the group surfaced on the Weird Toronto Facebook group.
It starts with people entering Fairview Mall from a parking lot. A deep voice comes on over a loudspeaker as the people lumber through the mall, arms outstretched, past closed shops.
“Thinking for yourself endangers the common good,” the voice starts. “Body contact causes suffering.”
The Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services sociaux (INESSS) wrote this week that Montreal and neighbouring regions are seeing increased cases five times greater than in other areas of Quebec.
“The increase in new projected hospitalizations is progressing even more markedly,” the report from the institute reads. “Projections predict a significant increase in bed occupancy in the coming weeks. Unlike in previous weeks, an overrun of dedicated capacities cannot be ruled out, especially as half of the designated beds are already occupied.”
The prestige sector of higher education – private colleges and universities reject a large portion of applicants – has resembled a cartel for decades. Since the late 1950s, every year has the tuition charged by competitive colleges rise by 5 to 10 percent, with most such schools’ tuition staying within a few hundred dollars of each other. A financial aid nonprofit estimates average tuition hikes are about 8% per year, at which pace the cost of college doubles every 9 years.
Another day brings yet another tale of China’s atrocities at home, or in Hong Kong, in Africa, or for that matter in America.
And they’re met with little in the way of meaningful solutions.
