Life in the trenches: ‘Waves of Russians go over the top — they’re just cannon fodder’

In scenes recalling the First World War, Ukraine’s troops are calf-deep in the mud, digging yet more defences and repelling the Kremlin conscripts sent into no man’s land

The Ukrainian fighters stood calf-deep in the mud, peering over the lip of a 6ft trench they had hacked into the forest three miles from the Russian border. It was around 11am and the temperature had already hit five degrees, which, they all agreed, was far too warm.

They were hoping for a cold snap that would freeze the ground hard.

For now, the mud was everywhere: in their boots, on their hands, on the floors in the dugouts. Sticky and thick, sucking around their boots. Without noticing, during the three months they’d been dug in there, the soldiers had perfected a duck-footed amble that kept them upright even when the mud rose to their knees.

Turkey slams ‘barbarism’ of Quran-burning protest in Sweden

Right-wing politician Rasmus Paludan attacked Islam and immigration before setting holy book alight

Turkey cancelled a visit by the Swedish defence minister over a demonstration by an anti-Islamic extremist in Stockholm, sparking a fresh crisis as Sweden tries to convince Ankara not to block its bid to join Nato.

Turkish officials denounced the permission granted to Rasmus Paludan, a right-wing Swedish-Danish politician, to stage a protest on Saturday in front of its embassy in the Swedish capital.

It’s Over, Joe: New York Times Throws Joe Biden Under the Bus

The New York Times has long ago abandoned any pretense of being an actual news source and has settled into its role as the foremost propaganda arm of the hard Left, capitalizing upon the fact that there is still a considerable number of people in the U.S. and around the world who still think that the Times can be trusted to report events impartially and accurately. In reality, the only thing the Times is good for is revealing what the political and media elites are thinking, and a Friday opinion piece dropped a bombshell, in the Times’ muted, bloodless Voice-of-the-Ages manner: the Leftist establishment is through with Old Joe Biden. Watch for him to be replaced as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024, and he could be gone even sooner.

Here Are The Stats Gun Grabbers Ignore On Defensive Firearms Use

It doesn’t really make sense to ban guns, because in reality what that means is that you are actually trying to ban effective self-defense. Despite the constant hammering by a news media with an agenda, guns are used in America far more often to stop crime than to cause crime.

I’ve seen several different sets of numbers about how many times guns are used in self-defense every year. The problem with keeping track of this stat is that the vast majority of the time, when a gun is used in a legal self-defense situation, no shots are fired. The mere presence of the gun is enough to cause the criminal to stop. Notable firearms instructor Clint Smith had a saying: “If you look like food, you will be eaten.” Regular criminals are looking for prey. They want easy victims. If they wanted to work hard for a living, they’d get a job.

Canada to repatriate British-born ‘Jihadi Jack’ from Islamic State prison camp

Muslim convert Jack Letts, who was stripped of UK citizenship, is one of 23 people who will return to Canada from Syria

Canada will repatriate the British-born Isil member known as “Jihadi Jack” along with 22 other citizens held in Islamic State prison camps in north-east Syria.

Muslim convert Jack Letts, 28, who had held dual British and Canadian citizenship, declared he was an “enemy of Britain” after travelling from Oxfordshire to Syria to join the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant (Isil) terror group as a teenager.

He begged to be allowed to return to the UK, insisting he had “no intention” of killing Britons, after he was captured by Kurdish forces in 2017.

$2.8-billion settlement reached in class-action lawsuit over residential schools

Residential Schools Kenora

Officials announced Saturday that the federal government and 325 First Nations have agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit, seeking reparations for the loss of language and culture brought on by Indian residential schools, for $2.8 billion.

The agreement still has to be approved by a Federal Court before it can be disbursed to recipients, who filed the claim for collective compensation in 2012 as part of a broader class action known as the Gottfriedson case.

Canada agreed to pay the $2.8 billion of settlement money into a new trust fund that will operate for 20 years, if the court approves the deal. The fund will be run independent of the federal government, according to officials.

The good news is that given the increasing demonization of white folks within our education system future generations will be eligible for sweet payouts like this.

Hotel rooms for asylum seekers cost Ottawa $94-million since last election

The federal government has spent almost $94-million since the last election booking entire hotels for months to accommodate an influx of asylum seekers entering Canada, according to an access-to-information request.

Since September, 2021, the Immigration Department has paid $93,886,222 for “long leases” with hotels, mostly in Quebec, setting them aside for asylum seekers, including those entering the country through the irregular border crossing at Quebec’s Roxham Road.

The department booked 30 hotels between April and December last year – 10 in Montreal alone, according to a redacted response to the access-to-information request.

Justin Trudeau tells us why he is disliked, what keeps him awake and who Pierre Poilievre is ‘preying on’

Justin Trudeau is very aware of just how much he’s become a lightning rod for anger in Canada.

It’s kind of hard to miss. As we sat together in a meeting room at the University of Windsor this week, a gaggle of protesters with the now-familiar “F— Trudeau” flags were gathered outside, cheered on by a mini-convoy of a dozen or so flag-waving, horn-honking trucks.

“It doesn’t affect me personally in the slightest,” the prime minister says.

But wait. Shouldn’t it?

America’s Police Exodus – The fallout of ‘defund the police’ is still unfolding.

Last year, Brian Lande, an officer in the Richmond, Calif., police department, had to draw his gun to stop two drunk men from clobbering each other to death with metal rods.

In 2015, he threatened deadly force to stop a fight between two more drunk men. One was armed with a hatchet. Another, with a wrench.

On another occasion, he drew his firearm to arrest a man hopping a backyard fence, fleeing the scene of a burglary.

None of these was remarkable in Richmond, a working-class city just east of San Francisco that’s notorious for its drive-by shootings, break-ins, carjackings, and countless petty crimes.

Germany is paralysed by pacifism

Germany’s marked reluctance to supply Leopard 2 tanks to help Ukraine repel the brutal Russian invasion has very little to do with the feeble evasions and excuses offered by Berlin, and everything to do with the long shadows cast by German history.

January 30 sees the 90th anniversary of Adolf Hitler becoming Germany’s Chancellor, yet the 12 brief years of Nazi rule inflicted such deep wounds on the country and the wider world that they have dictated German policy ever since.

California’s Green Debacle

The Golden State’s energy policies impose ruinous costs on residents but make no measurable impact on global climate.

Climate change, which serves as the all-purpose villain for every adverse event today, is the driving force behind California’s energy policies. Whether in response to summer drought and wildfires, winter rains and mudslides, or alleged price-gouging by climate-denying oil companies, the state has adopted energy policies that will supposedly vanquish climate change, much as Hollywood’s heroes vanquish evildoers.

Now the Cartels are stealing water to irrigate their pot farms…

Teenager, 17, who plowed stolen car into mother pushing her baby in a stroller in LA is shot dead on the street after district attorney only gave him a few months of diversionary camp as punishment

A 17-year-old teen from Los Angeles, who was behind a shocking hit-and-run incident in which a mother and her baby who was in a stroller were injured, has been shot dead.

Kristopher Baca was killed in Palmdale, California, dying from gunshot wounds on Wednesday evening as he walked alone on the street.

Baca was sentenced to just seven-months in a juvenile probation camp following the crash on August 6 2021 when he was just 15 years old.

EU’s Double-Standards on Iran’s Human Rights: Business First

The European Union’s charter stresses that “Human rights are at the heart of EU relations with other countries and regions. The European Union is based on a strong commitment to promoting and protecting human rights, democracy and the rule of law worldwide”. This is clearly not the case when it comes to the EU’s appeasing relationship with the ruling mullahs of Iran.

The Iranian regime is ramping up its killing spree, torture and arrests.

Girls accused in swarming murder yawn and snicker in juvenile court

Some of the girls smirked; some of them yawned. Some looked tense; some looked like this was all an amusing lark.

On a day of yet another seemingly random murder downtown, seven of the eight teens charged in last month’s shocking swarming and fatal stabbing of Ken Lee — a man who had struggled with homelessness — once again appeared in juvenile court.
