Police in Berlin said on Saturday afternoon that roughly 13,000 people had attended an event in central Berlin organized by a controversial socialist politician, Sahra Wagenknecht, and a prominent writer and feminist, Alice Schwarzer.
The Rebellion for Peace rally organizers have received fierce criticism from many politicians, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who say the demonstration could weaken public support for Ukraine’s fightback against Russia.
The Biden administration is still attempting to revive the disastrous nuclear deal with Iran, which paved the way to lift the arms embargo on the country and helped the Iranian regime to currently become a major global arms exporter.
Among the many gifts that the Obama Administration offered to the Iranian regime was one setting October 18, 2020 as the date when the arms embargo on Iran would be removed, allowing the regime to export, import, buy and sell weapons legally, as it might wish. The arms embargo for Iran had been previously placed on it by the five members of the United Nations Security Council in 2007, during the Bush administration. The embargo encompassed a wide range of weapons, including large-caliber artillery, drones, combat aircraft, battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, attack helicopters, some missiles and missile launchers, and warships.
Former CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter made a rare return to a microphone Friday as he interviewed Megyn Kelly Show executive producer and Fourth Watch Podcast host Steve Krakauer about his new book, Uncovered: How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People. In just under an hour, the pair had a engaging and fascinating discussion about the media, CNN, Fox News, January 6, and his post-CNN life.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that if America pulls military support from his country, the United States will “lose NATO” and its global leadership position.
Speaking at a press conference in Kyiv (Kiev) on the one-year anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of his country, Zelensky responded to a question on the growing unpopularity of continued support for the war in Ukraine in the United States by criticising Americans who do not want to continue to send arms and billions of their taxpayer dollars to his administration.
I suspect NATO was on shaky ground before this crisis. If it is proven the US sabotaged the NordStream pipelines more than just a disagreement among friends can be expected.
Zelensky is asked about opinion polls showing Americans think they're giving too much to Ukraine: “If they don’t change their opinion, if they don’t support Ukraine, they will lose NATO and they will lose their leadership position in the world.” pic.twitter.com/bNbB3kAbNx

Shortages of some fresh fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers could be the “tip of the iceberg”, the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) has said.
Certain products are hard to come by in UK supermarkets due to poor weather reducing the harvest in Europe and north Africa, Brexit rules and lower supplies from UK and Dutch producers hit by the jump in energy bills to heat glasshouses.
The NFU’s deputy president, Tom Bradshaw, said a reliance on imports had left the UK particularly exposed to “shock weather events”.
Justin Trudeau keeps digging himself a deeper hole on the issue of Chinese meddling in Canadian elections.
When troubling reports came out in November, he first said it was nothing new. Then he said he hadn’t actually been briefed that any candidates may have been helped or harmed by Beijing. Lately he’s been arguing we shouldn’t worry much because China didn’t actually affect the outcome of our elections.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is coming under fire after she called out Japan for not being tolerant enough during a congressional trip to Asia.
Ocasio-Cortez targeted Japan in an almost 40-minute-long Instagram video, during which she said that she was shocked at “very discriminatory” comments from a member of the Japanese government on the LGBT community.
Justin has company.
Canadians are still largely invested in Ukraine’s struggle to stop Russia’s invasion and are supportive of Canada’s efforts to help, but that support has dipped slightly since the war began a year ago, a new poll suggests.
The Ipsos poll, conducted exclusively for Global News and released on the one-year anniversary of the invasion, found 65 per cent of those surveyed are just as concerned about Ukraine’s future as they were last February.
More newspapers say they are dropping the “Dilbert” comic strip after creator Scott Adams this week advised white people to “get the f–k away” from Black people.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer announced the paper is cutting ties with Adams for the “racist rant” on his online show “Real Coffee with Scott Adams.” The move comes five months after Lee Enterprises cut the cartoon from its newspapers as it scaled back its funny pages.
Scott Adams is being “cancelled” because he called out racist bullshit like this.
Imagine this being said about literally any other race. Every person in this video would lose their job. They’d rightfully be called racists. They’d be shunned. If they say it about white people they get praised by the left. We can’t continue this madness. pic.twitter.com/sOQxhM6SiJ

With Vancouver and Toronto vacancy rates at 0.9 and 1.7 per cent respectively, and rental prices surging, seniors, students, new immigrants, single parents and people with disabilities — those on modest or fixed incomes — are being priced out of their communities.
Ren Thomas, associate professor of planning at Dalhousie University in Halifax, warns it’s a real loss for our biggest cities.
“You need that diversity — and that’s what makes our big cities great is we have there, you know, different people in different jobs,” said Thomas.
Last June, Sam Brinton, who identifies as nonbinary and wears dresses and stilettos, was tapped by the Department of Energy to be the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition.
It was touted as historic — Brinton being the first gender-fluid person in federal leadership.
However, within months, the hire backfired, causing a self-inflicted toxic spill all over the department and the Biden Administration.
Three weeks before Canada’s 2019 federal election, national security officials allegedly gave an urgent, classified briefing to senior aides from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office, warning them that one of their candidates was part of a Chinese foreign interference network.
According to sources, the candidate in question was Han Dong, then a former Ontario MPP whom Canada Security Intelligence Service had started tracking in June of that year.
Good reporting, pity nothing will come of it as it touches all members of the UNIPARTY.

In a story that they could have predicted in their own work, a science fiction magazine has asked people to stop sending stories generated by artificial intelligence in the latest sign of apps like ChatGPT gaining prominence.
Clarkesworld, an award-winning sci-fi and fantasy publication based out of New Jersey, has temporarily cut off all submissions because they’ve gotten too many written by AI.
Shallow, shameless, self-aggrandising – and obsessed with moral posturing – the Canadian PM should serve as a warning
What in the world, you might be asking, is up with Canada? How did a country famed for its sensible, moderate attitudes and customs transform itself into the front rank of the woke phalanx?
We are an immense country – one infinitely rich, blessed by nature (with the possible exception of winter) and mostly pristine. Yet on almost every front, we are becoming an embarrassment – to ourselves and, increasingly, to the world.
We have fallen, for instance, one-quarter behind our American counterparts in terms of incomes – the wealth that offers security, opportunity and educational resources to our children. We’ve done so while creating an economy that will lag behind most of our peers in the developing world for the next four decades.
Do you think PP can recover from his Christine Anderson gaffe? I don’t think so. He is a Uniparty man.

The home in Idaho where four university students were murdered last year will be torn down in an effort to help bring closure to the grieving community.
The move comes more than three months after the late-night stabbing spree.
University officials said the owner of the home where three of the students lived gave the building to the university.
Police have not released a motive for the suspect, who is awaiting trial, leaving many with unanswered questions.
