Oxford Union alumni plan to descend on the university city this weekend in an attempt to oust the president-elect.

Former members of the debating society are considering travelling from as far afield as Hong Kong and New York to vote against George Abaraonye in a poll on his leadership on Saturday, sources told The Telegraph.

University alumni have been encouraged to attend the in-person vote in order to preserve “the reputation of Britain’s historic institutions”.

Cocaine trafficking sentence cut in half for Jamaican facing deportation from Canada

An Ontario judge cut the sentence in half for a Black cocaine trafficker from Jamaica facing “a significant likelihood of deportation” because he’s already serving a six-year prison sentence in Canada for trafficking in fentanyl and gun-related offences.

Police caught Roosevelt Rush, a 32-year-old who was living in Brampton, with 55 grams of cocaine after he was released from custody on bail in December 2022 before sentencing took place for his fentanyl trafficking and gun convictions. The Ontario Court of Justice heard Rush was wearing a GPS monitoring device when authorities tracked him to Belleville, where he was caught with the cocaine.

Trump says Hamas will be forced to disarm or ‘we will disarm them’

Donald Trump has said that Hamas will be forced to disarm after questions swirled around the group’s status following the signing of a peace deal meant to bring an end to the war in Gaza.

Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Trump said: “If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them and it will happen quickly and perhaps violently.

“But they will disarm, do you understand me?” he added, saying it should take place in a “reasonable period of time”.

Hamas executes ‘collaborators’ in Gaza as it clings to power

Horrifying footage has emerged which shows Palestinians being executed by Hamas, sparking fears that the Gaza peace deal is already at risk of collapsing as the terror group tries to cling to power.

In disturbing footage circulating on social media, a group of men can be seen kneeling on the ground with their hands behind their backs.

Armed militants – some wearing Hamas-style headbands – stand behind the victims with their faces covered before gunshots ring out and the seven kneeling men fall to the ground, apparently lifeless.

Stellantis backtracks on plans to build Jeep model in Ontario, shifts to U.S.

Stellantis announced Tuesday it will invest $13 billion US over the next four years to expand its manufacturing capacity in the U.S. — a move that will take production of one model out of Ontario, raising concern about Canadian jobs.

The company, formerly known as Chrysler, says the Jeep Compass, previously slated to be made at the Brampton Assembly Plant, will move to the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois.

… The Brampton, Ont., plant has been shut down since early 2024 for retooling to build the next generation model of the vehicle, but that work was halted in February as a tariff threat loomed.


It sucks for Brampton’s employees but we can only expect more of the same as assembly heads back to the US. 

If Carney throws up his hands and lifts the China EV tariffs thus saving canola farmers he may win some friends in the west.

Given Canada’s auto industry is going to be gutted no matter what China may be Carney’s preferred choice.

However my guess is the US will retaliate against Canada in other economic segments for what will be perceived as Carney’s ChiCom appeasement.

Meanwhile Carney served up the Usual slop for his Elbow people.

PS – can anyone confirm that the Jeep Compass model moved to the US was the EV version? Oh the Ironing!

Fraud Charges Against Real Housewives Star Wendy Osefo Are A Reminder The BLM Movement Is Led By Scammers

It was just four years ago that Bravo’s Real Housewives of Potomac cast member Wendy Osefo was running around blabbing to whoever would listen about how “unfair” it was that “black parents have to break their children’s innocence.” By which she meant exposing them to the myth that black men are gleefully gunned down by racist cops. Now Osefo has been charged with lying to police and attempting insurance fraud.

I wonder how “unfair” it is when parents have to explain to their kids they’re under arrest for allegedly trying to steal nearly half a million dollars.

Why are so many US States banning cloud seeding?

THE first few months of the year saw a sharp rise in the number of US states considering proposals to ban solar geoengineering, including cloud seeding as well as solar radiation management. As we’ve previously reported, Tennessee was the first state to adopt a ban (in April 2024), signed into law by Republican Governor Bill Lee. The legislation ‘prohibits the intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight‘.
