This Looks Like the Smoking Gun in the Case Against James Comey

James Comey’s legal troubles just got a whole lot worse.

In September, James Comey was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice. Comey claims he’s the victim of malicious prosecution, and Democrats are out in full force claiming that this is part of Trump’s “revenge,” but newly filed evidence that Just the News obtained is quite damning. Prosecutors have revealed what looks like a smoking gun: Comey’s own words showing that he wasn’t merely aware his top aides were leaking to the press; he was actively congratulating them for it.

Tommy Robinson cleared of terror offence after not giving police access to his phone

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been found not guilty of a terror offence after refusing to give police access to his phone in July 2024.

The 42-year-old, who was charged under his real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was stopped by officers at the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone while driving a friend’s silver Bentley to Benidorm, Spain.

Robinson refused to give officers the Pin to his phone during the stop, arguing that the device contained confidential journalistic material.

Carney government’s ‘generational investment’ will land squarely on backs of younger Canadians

Despite promising a “very different approach” to fiscal policy during the election, the cracks are clearly showing as the Carney government gears up to release its first budget on Tuesday.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne has said “Canada should be prepared for a generational investment.” This is among many attempts by the government to spin the upcoming budget – which will include high spending, huge deficits and massive debt accumulation – as something different from what we experienced under Justin Trudeau. Make no mistake, similar to the fiscal plans of his predecessor, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget will burden Canadians for generations.

It’s a crappy time to be in Canada doubly so for the young.

Pakistan: Inside a graveyard for victims of ‘honor killings’

In Pakistan, hundreds of women are killed every year after being accused of “dishonoring” their families.

Fattu Shah is a remote village in the north of Pakistan’s Sindh province. The drive from the nearest city, Ghotki, takes more than an hour. The road narrows as it cuts through cotton fields and winds around clay-brick houses scattered across endless stretches of farmland.

It’s a journey Aisha Dharejo has made countless times. For the past 15 years she has been researching what locals call “the graveyard for dishonored women.”

“Each grave reveals the story of a woman that has been silenced,” Dharejo told DW.

HAUBRICH: Taxpayers have right to see costs of Ottawa’s gun ban, confiscation

If you walk into a car dealership to ask about the price of the car out front and the answer is, “Probably tens of thousands of dollars,” it’s unlikely you’re going to buy that car.

Consumers need the full information on the price of something before they can decide if it’s a good decision. The same goes for taxpayers and proposed government programs.

The Supreme Court used a far-fetched hypothetical to axe minimum sentences for child pornography

The members of Canada’s Supreme Court have such wonderful imaginations. They are able to look at the facts of a case – or a couple, as recently brought before them regarding prison sentences for accessing and possessing child pornography – and invent an entirely unrelated and far-fetched scenario in order to strike down a mandatory minimum sentence as unconstitutional. It’s an impressive exercise: one that risks undermining the legitimacy of the Court in the eyes of the public (or further undermining that legitimacy, depending on one’s perspective) with just one creative-writing assignment. Because if the Supreme Court can simply fabricate any scenario it wants, no matter how tenuously related to the actual case before it, and use that invented case to strike down law, then no law could possibly survive a Supreme Court challenge.

Rochdale grooming ringleader banned from returning to Britain

Adil Khan – Rapes Children for Allah His Cult’s Idol

A Rochdale grooming gang leader faces a lifetime ban from Britain after secretly leaving the country.

Adil Khan, a “vile” child rapist who impregnated a 13-year-old, has been subjected to a Home Office deportation order that bars him from ever returning to the UK.

The convicted paedophile left Britain after fighting deportation for nearly a decade, claiming that removing him would breach his human rights by depriving his teenage son of a “role model”.

If Poilievre goes down as party leader, it will be due to external pressure, not caucus dissent, say senior Conservatives

If Pierre Poilievre is ever forced out of his role as Conservative leader, it won’t be due to internal caucus dissent, but rather mounting criticism from outside the party, say senior Conservatives and caucus members. They add that if he intends to remain as leader, he will need to secure a strong vote of confidence from delegates at the upcoming January convention in Calgary.

“It’s not going to be the caucus that would bring him down,” said one senior Conservative in a not-for-attribution interview with The Hill Times. “[It will be because of] People who are not part of the caucus. The smart people know you should never have a knife in your hand [when you are in caucus].”

Huntingdon suspect ‘linked to four knife crimes before attack’

Police are investigating whether the suspect in the Huntingdon train stabbings was involved in four knife-related incidents in the hours before the attack.

Anthony Williams appeared in court on Monday charged with 10 counts of attempted murder following a mass stabbing on an LNER train from Doncaster to London on Saturday evening. He was remanded into custody until Dec 1.

There have been calls for an urgent investigation into the police’s handling of the case amid claims there were a string of missed opportunities to apprehend the 32-year-old before the incident.

Can the federal budget reset Canada’s economy?

By just about every measure, Canada’s economy is stuck in a ditch. Growth has sputtered. The unemployment rate is rising.

In normal times, the remedy is clear. The Bank of Canada cuts interest rates and the federal government boosts spending to help businesses and households weather the storm.

These are decidedly not normal times.

And Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem knows it.

Why Trump speech scandal could be costly for the BBC

If Donald Trump’s recent tangles with the media are anything to go by, the US president will already be plotting his retaliation on the BBC for “doctored” footage of his Jan 6 speech.

The US president has famously become more aggressive towards what he calls the “fake news media” during his second term. Members of the press who have crossed him have been stripped of White House access or sued for millions of dollars.

Now, a report by one of the BBC’s own standards advisers has found a Panorama programme “completely misled” viewers by splicing together different sections of the speech Mr Trump gave before his supporters stormed the Capitol.

Cloned meat is quietly getting closer to being sold in Canada — but people may not know they’re buying it

Cloned meat could be coming to a grocery store near you. Whether you’re receptive to the technology or not, you may be none the wiser from looking at the package. Health Canada has made moves to lift restrictions on meat from cloned cattle and pigs, no longer considering it a “novel food,” meaning it could be commercialized without notification or labelling.
