Sam Brinton Avoids Jail Time For Stealing Women’s Luggage While Meme Creator Faces 10 Years Behind Bars

Nearly 80 percent of Americans believe there is a two-tiered justice system. This week’s courtroom episodes only validate the public’s perception.

On Friday, President Joe Biden’s allegedly “non-binary” nuclear waste expert, Sam Brinton, was sentenced in a grand larceny case over stealing women’s luggage from U.S. airports. Police say Brinton stole a bag from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas with an estimated worth of around $3,670. Authorities also charged Brinton with stealing luggage at a second airport in Minnesota.

AR-15: The lethal weapon at heart of US gun debate

When it comes to America’s vast gun culture, no weapon has become as ubiquitous – or controversial – as the AR-15, a gun that is both lauded as “America’s Rifle” and vilified as the weapon of choice for mass shooters.

The gun, early versions of which became available in the 1950s, is one of the most popular among American gun owners, with tens of millions currently in circulation. By some estimates, one in 20 Americans owns one. The popularity of the gun even prompted some conservative lawmakers to try to officially designate the AR-15 “the National Gun of the United States”.

China Trashing the Global Environment: ‘There Is No Fish in the Waters’

China – Steward of the environment

China’s overseas infrastructure projects present high-impact risks to the environment, a new study has found.

The report — conducted by researchers from the Boston University Global Development Policy Center, the University of Queensland, the University of California Santa Barbara, and Colorado State University — focused on the risks to coastal and marine ecological systems posed by 114 of China’s overseas development projects between the years 2008-2019. According to the document, those 114 projects represent only 20% of all Chinese development finance projects in that time period, meaning that the results of the study are probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Ex-Planned Parenthood exec, the subject of a child porn investigation, commits suicide after police raid neighbor’s house in botched raid

Tim Yergeau, 36, the former director of strategic communications at the Southern New England branch of Planned Parenthood, died by suicide on Tuesday amid a child pornography investigation in Connecticut last week.

“The person who died was definitely the suspect in a child pornography investigation and the person who committed suicide,” New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson told the New Haven Registrar.

Five days earlier, members of the Special Victims Unit investigating the child pornography case reportedly broke down the door of Yergeau’s neighbor — and handcuffed the woman before realizing they had raided the wrong apartment.

Abortionist & child pornographer does not seem a moral stretch at all for that progressive circle.

Museum hires therapist for staff traumatised by discussing ‘life in Britain’

A museum hired a professional therapist to support staff and minority groups over fears that discussing “life in Britain” would be too traumatic.

The acquisition of a therapist, at Edinburgh’s publicly-owned Museum of Childhood, came as part of a £250,000 UK-wide research project designed to explore “experiences of race, empire and migration” in museum collections.

California’s Cautionary Clean Energy

Despite their advocates’ urgent claims, renewable energy sources are still intermittent, unreliable, and far more expensive than advertised.

California’s headlong rush to replace its electricity grid with renewable energy has given the rest of the country a preview of the decarbonized future that Joe Biden and his revived Clean Power Plan envision for America. It isn’t pretty.

Before supply-chain woes and federal stimulus goosed inflation, California’s cost of living already ranked second highest in the nation. Enthusiastic efforts to rely more heavily on wind and solar power—touted as “cheap” sources of clean energy—have only made the state more expensive.

A misunderstood paper on UFOs draws criticism of the Pentagon

More than a month ago, a draft version of a scientific paper on the subject of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP or UFOs) was published at Harvard. The authors of the paper were Dr. Avi Loeb, a Harvard professor, theoretical physicist, and cosmologist, working with Sean Kirkpatrick, the head of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The paper speculated on the origins of some UAP and the types of technology that might be required to account for the performance characteristics some of the objects appear to display.

The ‘Koranation’ of King Charles III

There are many reasons to be concerned about King Charles III. His general kowtowing to ‘wokery’ is risible, since the Left desires nothing more than his abolition. What concerns me the most, however, is his Islamophilia.

Whatever your opinion of the British monarchy, there is no denying her late Majesty‘s devotion to the nation. Her stoicism, her political neutrality, and the universal affection she inspired are likely to remain unparalleled. Beyond that, however, is the comfort she provided us in the traditions she upheld; a realisation that struck many of us only in the wake of her passing. The ascension of King Charles III, therefore, signals much more than a perfunctory changing of the guard. It is arguably the end of an era.

Leaked Pentagon docs show the shot-down Chinese spy balloon may have had a feature known as ‘synthetic aperture radar’ that can see through certain materials, WaPo reports

In February, a high-altitude balloon with surveillance capabilities connected to China flew over the continental US before being shot down over the Atlantic.

At the time, much about the balloon wasn’t known publicly, but a new trove of Pentagon documents leaked on Discord show it — and up to four other previously unknown spy balloons like it — could have had a feature known as “synthetic aperture radar” that can see through certain objects, the Washington Post reported.

Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old US National Guard airman, was arrested Thursday in connection to the leaks.

Sweetheart World Cup deal for MLSE is bad news for you and me

When my furnace broke one day in February I went into my savings and purchased a new furnace so my family would be warm. I did not go into my savings and splurge on the state of the art foosball table I have always wanted to put in the basement. For some reason it occurred to me that not dying of frostbite should take precedence over playing a game — even a really fun one.

This deal may not be criminal but it should be.

Darkness of Discord: the social media platform you’ve never heard of

As Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old IT specialist, was arraigned on espionage charges in Boston on Friday, fresh questions emerged about the biggest intelligence leak to hit the US in a decade.

How was it that a junior IT guy had access to so many top-secret files? Why was it apparently so easy for him to copy and spirit them out of Otis air base in Cape Cod, Massachusetts?

What is the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and what does it do?

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has been mired in a political controversy that pushed the organization’s president and board to resign last week.

At the centre of the controversy is a 2016 donation from two donors with links to the Chinese government. The donors pledged $200,000 to the foundation at the time.

While the donation spurred an initial controversy in 2016, interest in the story revived in the wake of recent media reports stating Beijing interfered in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. The foundation said it would reimburse the funds but apparently ran into administrative roadblocks. (Radio-Canada has confirmed the donation has since been returned.)
