Brooklyn subway shooting suspect’s gun jammed during carnage: police sources

The gun used by the monster who opened fire on a crowded Brooklyn subway Tuesday jammed in the midst of the bloodshed — preventing him from causing more carnage, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Investigators recovered the jammed Glock and two extended magazines at the scene of the shooting, which happened aboard a Manhattan-bound N train just as it was pulling into the 36th Street station in Sunset Park just after 8:20 a.m.

Trudeau cabinet minister claims gov’t must begin to ‘decolonize’ Canada

OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – In a meeting held in late March, Canada’s Indigenous Affairs Minister Patty Hajdu claimed that the “impacts” from the “colonization” of the nation, which was mainly done by European settlers, are a “stark” reminder of the work that needs to be done to decolonize the country.

“Each of these days serves as a stark reminder of the impacts of colonization, stark inequities, and trauma,” said Hajdu during a March 25 meeting of the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.

Hajdu declared that the impacts of colonization “continue to have such a significant impact on First Nations, Inuit, and Metis communities across the country.”

Biden’s ‘Integrated Deterrence’ Military Strategy Failed in Ukraine

Leading from behind has an exciting new name.

Last year, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin claimed that a new strategy called “integrated deterrence” would be at the heart of Biden’s new defense strategy. Last month, he was talking up a new National Defense Strategy driven by integrated deterrence while claiming that it would prove effective against Russia in the war in Ukraine. Instead the war showed “ID” doesn’t work.

What is “integrated deterrence”? It sounds better than leading from behind, which was Obama’s version of it, but it’s not too different from the failed approach of the Obama administration.

Like a lot of organizational jargon, “integrated deterrence” is a collection of meaningless buzzwords that no one understands concealing the same old thing that dresses up failure as success because under the exciting new approach, no one was even trying to succeed.

Ukraine conflict: Why is Russia losing so many tanks?

It is thought that Russia has lost hundreds of tanks within two months of invading Ukraine.

Military experts put the losses down to the advanced anti-tank weapons which western nations have given to Ukraine, and to the poor way Russia has used its tanks.

Putin says peace talks with Ukraine are at dead end, goads the West

LONDON, April 12 (Reuters) – President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday peace talks with Ukraine had hit a dead end, using his first public comments on the conflict in more than a week to vow that his troops would win and to goad the West for failing to bring Moscow to heel.

Addressing the war in public for the first time since Russian forces retreated from northern Ukraine after they were halted at the gates of Kyiv, Putin promised that Russia would achieve all of its “noble” aims in Ukraine.

Big crowds turning out for Poilievre suggest a very different kind of Conservative leadership race

 

In the last two Conservative leadership races, the supposed front-runners stumbled before reaching the finish line. This time, however, the front-runner is only showing signs of gaining ground.

Swelling crowd counts and MP endorsements aren’t ironclad guarantees of success, but they certainly don’t hurt. And Pierre Poilievre — with his populist appeals to frustration with government “gatekeepers” and calls to make Canada “the freest country on earth” — is doing well on both those measures.

The CBC has tacitly declared Poilievre’s support to be “white supremacist” by describing his campaign as the “Trumpification” of Canadian politics based on one or two twitter comments by fellow travelers. “Trumpification” is the liberal left dog whistle for their racism toward white people.

Russia ‘using weapons smuggled by Iran from Iraq against Ukraine’

Russia is receiving munitions and military hardware sourced from Iraq for its war effort in Ukraine with the help of Iranian weapons smuggling networks, according to members of Iranian-backed Iraqi militias and regional intelligence services with knowledge of the process.

RPGs and anti-tank missiles, as well as Brazilian-designed rocket launcher systems, have been dispatched to Russia from Iraq as Moscow’s campaign has faltered in the last month, the Guardian has learned.

An Iranian-made Bavar 373 missile system, similar to the Russian S-300, has also been donated to Moscow by the authorities in Tehran, who also returned an S-300, according to a source who helped organise the transport.

Patrick Brown vows in video to end Canada’s ‘terrorist’ designation for Tamil Tigers

OTTAWA—Conservative leadership candidate Patrick Brown says he will “lift the ban” on a designated terrorist organization known as the Tamil Tigers, open up immigration to “any Tamil family that wants to come to Canada” and, as prime minister, would apologize for Canada’s failure to help Tamil refugees as it has Ukrainians or the Vietnamese boat people.

In a short video viewed by the Star, the Brampton mayor appeals to Tamil community representatives, telling them that he needs their “help” in order to win the leadership of the federal Conservative party, because the people he has to beat “are the same people who put the ban on” the Tamil Tigers.

What a slime.

Multiple people shot in Brooklyn subway stop during rush hour

WTF? Update

Update: Extensive search for gunman in Brooklyn subway shootings, what we know so far

According to a situation report issued to law enforcement at 10:41 am by DHS/CISA and obtained by ABC News: “The NYPD has informed the feds that police have a description of the suspect and have shared it with searchers. And that “investigators assess this was a coordinated attack, but the motive remains unclear.”

Multiple people were shot Tuesday morning in a gruesome shooting in a Brooklyn subway station during rush hour, officials said.

The bloody incident broke out around 8:30 a.m. at the 36th Street station for the D, N, R lines in Sunset Park.

Clair, a straphanger who witnessed the event while riding the Manhattan-bound N train, told The Post there were so many rounds fired off she “lost count.”

She said she saw the man — who was described as a 5-foot-5 black man, around 170 pounds wearing an orange vest and gas mask — drop “some kind of cylinder that sparked at the top.”

There may have been home made explosives involved, this is looking more like a terrorist incident than a mass shooting at this point.

Boston Imam: America Is a ‘Terrible Place,’ Unlike Sudan and Afghanistan

Abdullah Faaruuq is the imam of Mosque Praise Allah in Boston, and while one would think that a man who has dedicated his life to spiritual pursuits and has a congregation to which he can minister would be at peace and content with his existence, Abdullah Faaruuq is not a happy man. He lives in the United States of America, you see, and while millions of his coreligionists would happily cross our porous Southern border and throw themselves upon the tender mercies of Old Joe Biden’s handlers in order to get here, and many are actually doing so, Abdullah Faaruuq is not pleased to be in what was once known as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. He would rather be any number of other places, where Allah’s sun shines on those who conform their behavior to his immutable and ineffable will.
