Desperate sounding Charest blasts Poilievre for supporting Freedom Convoy

Conservative leadership hopeful Jean Charest is turning up the heat against perceived frontrunner Pierre Poilievre, taking him to task for his support of the trucker protests that took over downtown Ottawa and led to blockades at border crossings.

“I have a competitor by the name of Mr. Poilievre who supported, as you know, the blockade,” Charest told CTV Morning Live on Friday. “And if you want to be a leader in this country and a legislator, you can’t make laws and break laws.

“Laws are not a buffet table, if you’re a legislator, from which you choose what you want. Because what you’re really saying to people is I’m above the law,” Charest added in a separate interview with CTV News.

Poilievre seems to have gained the momentum.

ISIS ‘Beatle’ trial hears that hostages were forced to sing ‘Hotel Osama’ – a depraved parody of the Eagles hit – before being executed

A French journalist held by the Islamic State in Syria testified on Wednesday that he and other hostages were forced by their captors to sing a depraved parody of the Eagles song ‘Hotel California’ called ‘Hotel Osama.’

‘It was terrifying for us, a joke for them,’ Nicolas Henin said at the trial of El Shafee Elsheikh, a 33-year-old former British national.

Elsheikh is accused of involvement in the murders of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid workers Kayla Mueller and Peter Kassig.

Tel Aviv terror attacks: Has a new intifada begun in Israel?

A mass shooting in Israel left two people dead and at least 15 others wounded last night — and doesn’t appear to be an isolated incident. The attack in Tel Aviv is the fourth deadly event in three weeks that appears tied to terrorism, and raises questions as to whether Palestinians are attempting yet another intifada as Sunni nations begin aligning with Israel

Zelenskiy shows video of Greek member of AZOV battalion during address to Greek lawmakers – goes over poorly

ATHENS, April 7 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskiy’s address to the Greek parliament on Thursday caused an outrage from opposition parties after a man who identified himself as an ethnic Greek member of Ukraine’s ultranationalist Azov battalion appeared on a video.

Zelenskiy spoke about the destruction of the Russian-besieged Ukrainian port of Mariupol – home to thousands of ethnic Greeks – and appealed to Athens for help.

Sacramento mass shooting suspect served less time because whipping girlfriend & dragging her by the hair are considered non-violent offenses in California

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A suspect arrested in connection with last weekend’s mass shooting outside bars in Sacramento served less than half his 10-year sentence because of voter-approved changes to state law that lessened the punishment for his felony convictions and provided a chance for earlier release.

Smiley Allen Martin was freed in February after serving time for punching a girlfriend, dragging her from her home by her hair and whipping her with a belt, according to court and prison records.

Those count as nonviolent offenses under California law, which considers only about two dozen crimes to be violent felonies — such as murder, rape, arson and kidnapping.

Conservatives blast Liberal budget as NDP strives to balance criticism with support

Conservative interim leader Candice Bergen said Thursday that Canada’s most pressing problems aren’t addressed in the new federal budget — which she claimed had been heavily influenced by NDP ideology.

“We were looking for controlled spending, which would in turn control inflation,” Bergen told reporters outside the House of Commons after the budget was tabled.

“It is an irresponsible budget. It is a typical, classic, NDP spend-and-tax budget.”

Kramatorsk train station: Ukraine says dozens killed in rocket attack

The rocket says “For Our Children”

Dozens of people have died after rockets struck a train station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk that was being used to evacuate civilians to safer parts of the country, Ukrainian authorities have said.

Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of the Donetsk region, said at least 39 people were killed and 87 wounded, many of them seriously, updating an earlier estimate of 30 dead.

Reporters at the scene saw at least 20 bodies grouped and lying under plastic sheets next to the station. Blood was pooling on the ground and packed bags were strewn outside the building.

457 years after the Great Siege of Malta, Pope Francis surrenders to Islam

Pope Francis, despite being the head of worldwide Catholicism, always seems to be apologizing for the faith.  In Malta, that apology extended to hiding the cross from illegal Muslim aliens.  This act of Christian cowardice was more poignant than usual, given that Malta, in the mid-16th century, was the site of one of the Catholic world’s bravest and most successful stands against Islam’s push to take over Europe.

Settlement in Ukraine Is Not Appeasement

The death, destruction, and displacement resulting from Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine are gruesome enough to evoke a question that deserves to be asked: Could this have been avoided?

The navel-gazing, second-guessing, and blame peddling of recent weeks have centered on the late 1990s expansion of NATO to include former Warsaw Pact states, and the alliance’s 2008 Bucharest “open door” declaration acknowledging Georgia and Ukraine’s aspirations to join it in the future. Vladimir Putin’s response? By late summer 2008, Russia had occupied disputed territories with Georgia, and in 2014 it infiltrated and seized Crimea from Ukraine. Now he has taken Ukraine’s ethnic Russian-populated Donbas region and a land bridge to Crimea along the Black Sea.

Thirty Years of the ‘Now or Never’ Climate Cry

Antonio Guterres – Chief Kleptocrat

The apocalyptic language of United Nations alarmists is back.

The 2,913 pages of the United Nations’ “Climate Change 2022” report make clear only that nothing is clear. Written in the incomprehensible language of climate science, there are only two things that are easily understood: the word taxes, which appears 270 times, and the word costs, which appears 1,585 times.

Does California’s Latest Mass Shooting Show the Country’s Strictest Gun Laws Are Not Strict Enough?

A mass shooting that killed six people and injured 12 in Sacramento last weekend predictably provoked immediate agitation for stricter gun control, including policies that seem utterly irrelevant to the facts of the case. That’s a familiar pattern in the gun policy debate, which consists largely of reiterating previous proposals in response to mass shootings, regardless of whether those ideas have anything to do with the most recent example.

The Sacramento Bee described the weekend’s apparently gang-related violence, which began around 2 a.m. Sunday in a downtown area where nightclubs had just closed, as “the worst mass shooting in city history.” The Los Angeles Times says “the shooting was California’s single deadliest in 2022,” although “there have been worse in the last year.” While these incidents supposedly underline the need for gun control, they simultaneously cast doubt on that argument, since California already has the strictest gun laws in the country.

The week the trans spell was broken – It’s finally ok to say that gender extremism wears no clothes

I always knew it would start with sport.

Back in 2018, when the obvious fallacies of gender ideology made me feel merely puzzled as opposed to completely enraged, a friend of mine went to the Commonwealth Games. He’s a sportswriter, and a few years younger than me and so – adhering to the generational divide on this issue – he disagreed with me about gender. He thought I was too rigid in my belief that changing gender is not the same as changing sex, which I maintain is impossible. He also thought my fears that males would disproportionately benefit and potentially exploit from the blurring between gender and sex were overblown. Stop being so binary, daddio, we’re all fluid now!

Move out of the way, Europe, Islam is taking over

Germany as a prototype:Christian symbols disappear as Europeans discard them, but there is no vacuum. Islam takes their place.

Cologne Cathedral, known as the “German Rome”, is the landmark of the city and has been declared a World Heritage Site since 1996. It is one of the most visited places in Germany and one of the most important in Christianity (it was visited by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI). The first stone of the cathedral was laid in 1248. On old black and white photos you can see how the towers of the cathedral protrude from the rubble of the historic center completely destroyed during the Second World War.

Now the city of Cologne is deleting the iconic cathedral from its new logo. “My 92-year-old mother is stunned, my 11-year-old son is crying and my friend in London doesn’t understand it,” writes sculptor and painter Cornel Wachter.
