Soros Prosecutor Twice Sprung Criminal Who Went On To Kill A Man

In May, Kevin Alexander Lemus was released from jail for the second time in a month, thanks to one of Virginia’s top progressive prosecutors. Four months later, he killed a man.

Lemus confessed to second-degree murder for the shooting of Darlin Ariel Diaz Flores, Fairfax County police announced on Wednesday. Fairfax County commonwealth’s attorney Steve Descano (D.) released Lemus without bail in April on gun and drug charges. In May, Descano released Lemus again after he was charged for drug possession and having violated his pretrial release. Lemus killed Flores four months later.

Fake kidnapping and Twitter bots: how ethnic violence flared in Leicester

Leicester – Multicultural Vibrance

His knife glinting in the darkness, the hooded young man slipped down the usually quiet residential street. More than a dozen others ran past a row of Hindu homes, kicking cars as they went. One ripped down a saffron flag, a symbol of Hinduism, and a man called the police to say “there are 20 people attacking my house”. Half a mile away, in a Muslim neighbourhood, residents were calling 999 to report similar assaults and property damage.

Iran’s ‘morality police:’ What do they enforce?

The so-called morality police arrested 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in Tehran for wearing what they deemed inappropriate clothing and took her to a police station, where she slipped into a coma. Three days later, she died in a hospital. Her death sparked widespread anger and led to anti-government rallies that continue to embroil dozens of cities, according to videos posted on social media.

President Ibrahim Raisi’s government has deployed security forces, to crack down on the protesters.

So, what exactly is the “morality police” force and how does it operate?

Will American Aid to Ukraine Provoke a Russian Nuclear Strike?

On September 15, Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chinese president Xi Jinping convened a joint strategy meeting in Samarkand, Uzbekistan at the annual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which they formed back in July 2001. The Islamic Republic of Iran was accepted at this meeting as a full member of the alliance, which already includes India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, while Belarus may soon follow. The alliance boasts over 42 percent of the world’s population (as compared to only 12 percent for NATO) and 30 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) by purchasing power parity. Putin previously stated the meeting would have special significance because they will discuss how Russia and China can better support each other with regard to Russia’s continuing war in Ukraine and China’s plan to reunify with Taiwan by force, if necessary, within the next year or two.

Castrating Your Child’s Future

Parents are stealing from their children the choice to have children.

What sort of psychopath terminates her (it’s almost always a her) child’s future by chemically castrating and surgically butchering him? What madness drives a mother to dress her 18-month-old in crossgender clothes and then, based on that child’s supposed preference, declare that the child is the opposite gender and raises him that way?

Terence Corcoran: UN makes its own case for dismantling the outdated institution

For more than 70 years, the 39-storey United Nations headquarters in New York has towered over Manhattan’s East River skyline. Built on land once owned by the Rockefeller family, the structure is a modernist monument to slivery political and architectural manipulations executed through a panel of big-name global architects from the United States, the Soviet Union, Europe, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. They squabbled for several years before building the structure that serves as the home of UN bureaucrats and the General Assembly, an institution that now towers over global policy-making.

Why are so many young women buying into polyamory?

Stability is the one thing that throuples and polycules can never provide

The saddest thing I saw this week was a dating advert written by a woman — let’s call her Jane — looking for a man to start a family with.

There was nothing sad about Jane per se: she’s attractive and accomplished in the usual alarming millennial way. Not only does she have a well-paid job in a tech firm, but she climbs, plays the cello, writes plays and is a near-professional baker. Because young people these days don’t drink until they pass out, they have time for hobbies.

If we’re playing the blame game, what about Pakistan’s butchery of the Bangladeshis?

LAST Sunday the BBC reported the increasingly violent sectarian clashes between Hindus and Muslims in Leicester, sparked by the result of a cricket match some weeks ago on another continent. With exquisite timing, a Sunday Times article by Sarfraz Manzoor told us that ‘Now is the time to acknowledge our empire’s sins’. He was prompted to write it after seeing the play Silence on the day our Queen died. It’s about the bloodletting which resulted ‘from the tragedy of [Indian] partition – a mayhem made in Britain’. But this carnage was by no means caused by ‘our empire’.

‘Somebody Planted the Guns’: In Canada, a Raided, Distrusting Village Blames the Police

When a cache of weapons was found in a tiny Canadian village that has become a symbol of the far right, it didn’t take long for new conspiracy theories to start circulating.

COUTTS, Alberta — The village’s only restaurant offers smiles and two pamphlets, one denouncing Covid-19 vaccines for children, the other saying the United Nations’ mission includes creating a “microchipped society” for “tracking and controlling.”

So pervasive is the belief here that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a dictator-in-the-making that even a top official in the village admits she “may have” a flag telling Canada’s leader where to go — rudely.

Meghan’s staff were so fed up they now call themselves the Sussex Survivors’ Club

It is normally a standard part of a royal tour, the moment when the royals venture to the back of the plane, where the media sit, to say hello and have a chat. But the tour of the South Pacific by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2018 was different. It had started with a bang, with the announcement that Meghan was pregnant. And the couple had proved extremely popular in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.

‘I’d rather eat an actual burger’: why plant-based meat’s sizzle fizzled in the US

At the start of the year, McDonald’s launched a plant-based burger “sizzled on a flat-iron grill, then topped with slivered onions, tangy pickles, crisp shredded lettuce, Roma tomato slices, ketchup, mustard, mayo and a slice of melty American cheese”. For a while, it looked like a glimpse of the future.

The US test run of the McPlant burger was quietly shelved last month (it is still available in some markets, including the UK) in one of a series of setbacks for a meatless-meat industry that only a year ago was claiming it could change the great American menu for ever.

John Ivison: Now is CRTC’s chance to tell CBC to get out of the advertising business

The broadcast regulator styles itself as an administrative tribunal that operates at arm’s length from the federal government. It is a description that embellishes the degree of separation. The distance remains short enough that the prime minister can give the CRTC a slap across the head, if he has a mind (a statement, not a question).
