A left-wing non-governmental organization (NGO) partially funded by billionaire George Soros is behind a lawsuit targeting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for flying illegal aliens to the elite coastal island of Martha’s Vineyard.

Trudeau at UN says he wants to ‘help’ American women get abortions
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is willing to help ensure women in the United States who want an abortion can get one.
“We will make sure we continue to fight for better health and reproductive rights all around the world. It used to mean being there to fight for health and reproductive rights in the global south. We’ll help out in the United States if we need to as well,” Trudeau told reporters at the United Nations on Wednesday.
Maybe he thinks he’s running in the mid-terms?
Understanding Germany’s complex public broadcasting system
The scandal around Patricia Schlesinger, former head of Berlin-based broadcaster RBB, has refocused attention on Germany’s complicated network of public broadcasters. Here’s how they’re organized.
It’s much worse than the pic shows. Canada seems bent on a similar set up.
But there are indeed a relatively large number of public broadcasters in Germany, including 21 TV channels and as many as 83 radio stations, funded mainly through the Rundfunkbeitrag levy (literally “broadcast contribution”). Currently set at €18.36 ($18.83) per month, each household in Germany is obliged to pay this fee, which brings in over €8 billion a year. While Deutsche Welle is also publicly funded, its budget comes directly from the federal government, rather than the Rundfunkbeitrag.
It’s an interesting read. Attempts to defund Germany’s media octopus have been dismissed as populist by “journalists.”
The real cause of the Leicester violence is the one thing the Left will never blame it on
THERE is nothing quite like a leftie MP with their head in the sand. But that is what we have with the great case of Claudia Webbe.
Ms Webbe is the MP for Leicester East and, given what is going on in her constituency in recent weeks, it is not surprising that she should try to speak out.
… And what does Corbynite MP Claudia warn about? She has said the Government needs to clamp down on “extremist right-wing ideology” being spread online.
Virtually every single MP in Westminster is responsible for the ethnic and religious violence seen in Leicester.
They decided to go down the road of diversity and multiculturalism.
Our politicians have done this to our great country.

Global Affairs Canada admits some costs on nearly $100k in-flight catering tab for GG trip were ‘problematic’
OTTAWA – The federal government admitted certain items on the nearly $100,000 in-flight catering bill for the governor general’s eight-day trip to Dubai in 2020 were “problematic” and is working to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Brian Mulroney urges Pierre Poilievre to appeal to political centre over dinner
Pierre Poilievre must make an appeal to Canada’s political centre if he wants to win government, former prime minister Brian Mulroney says he told the new Conservative Leader this week over dinner.
Recounting the three-hour Monday gathering at Stornoway, the residence of the leader of the Official Opposition, Mr. Mulroney said Mr. Poilievre can only go so far with his own caucus and constituencies, and therefore has to go beyond them.
“You have got to go fish where the fish are and so we talked about that,” Mr. Mulroney said in an interview with The Globe and Mail on Thursday. “You only win elections in Canada from the centre. You cannot win an election from either extreme. This has been proven time and time again. And anyone who wants to test that theory? Be my guest.”
Barely in office two weeks and already the shift to the mushy middle.

Big LPC supporters I hear.
Chinese police establish stations in Canada in ‘worrying’ crackdown on citizens abroad
On the evening of Feb. 7, a Chinese woman studying in Canada called a police hotline in a panic.
“Hello, is this the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau? I’ve been scammed,” the woman, surnamed Wang, told the operator. She described how she had been defrauded of about $400 by someone calling themselves a “love-life mentor.”
In Fuzhou, the capital of southeast China’s Fujian province, police tracked the fraudster to the city’s Taijiang district. The man, surnamed Lin, eventually confessed to scamming nine victims out of more than $3,700.
3 in the GTA? Shouldn’t they be shut down? Let’s ask Xi’s lickspittle Trudeau.
Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre had their first showdown. The big surprise is what didn’t happen
The first big showdown between Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre has come and gone and the best both leaders can boast is that they walked away with a draw.
While much sound and fury was expected on Thursday when the prime minister faced off for the first time against the new leader of the opposition, the spectacle was not all that noisy or furious.
In fact, you’d have to go back to that rainy, sodden Canada Day in 2017 — the country’s 150th birthday party — to find a fireworks show that similarly fizzled.

Feds stop short of mandatory national crime gun tracing, citing provincial control
OTTAWA – Federal agencies are trying to boost efforts to trace the origins of guns used in crimes, but it appears jurisdictional hurdles could prevent the measures from going as far as some would like.
The federal government says the RCMP has introduced a new mandatory tracing policy, meaning that in places where the Mounties are the police of jurisdiction, seized illegal guns will automatically be sent to the force’s national firearms tracing centre.
They want your gun.

Instagram Removes Iranian Protest Videos, TV Station Says
A London-based Persian-language television station says tech giant Meta has removed a large number of videos from its Instagram page that were related to the protests in Iran and which were shared by the station with its 10 million followers. It says Meta has also prevented the publication of new posts and videos.
Nationwide demonstrations erupted in Iran recently over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after she was taken into police custody for allegedly breaking the country’s strictly enforced Islamic dress code.
Manoto TV, a free-to-air general entertainment channel, said that among the deleted posts is a video of Iranian protesters chanting “death to the killer patrols” — a reference to the notorious morality police patrols that have become increasingly active and violent. Instagram has argued that the video violates its guidelines.
Most Americans Believe Migrants Should Be Sent To Sanctuary Cities
The majority of Americans believe illegal immigrants should be sent to sanctuary cities, a new poll from Scott Rasmussen and RMG Research Inc found.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent 50 migrants last week to Martha’s Vineyard, which advertises itself as a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants, last week, sparking widespread backlash. The new poll suggests that ordinary Americans are actually supportive of the decision despite the media’s negative response.
