When an Arab terrorist murdered five Israelis in Bnei Brak this week by opening fire indiscriminately with an M-16 rifle, Palestinian Arabs in the Gaza Strip and the “West Bank” handed out sweets in celebration and held jubilant rallies.
It made no difference to them that one of the five victims, police officer Amir Khoury, was an Israeli Arab who was gunned down as he shot the terrorist dead. Palestinian Arabs celebrate with sweets and fireworks whenever they murder Jews.
HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher” tackled the infamous Oscar slap Friday night, with the eponymous host cracking that Jada Pinkett Smith should “thank God” that alopecia is the worst she’s dealing with.
“If you are so lucky in life as to have that be your medical problem, just say ‘thank God,’” Maher cracked to his guests, attorney Laura Coates and former presidential and New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Yang.
“It’s not life threatening. It’s part of — for most people, 80 percent of men, 50 percent of women — it’s part of aging.”
Hundreds of battle-hardened Syrian mercenaries are signing up to join Russian forces on the promise of earning $1,000-a-month, as Moscow continues to struggle to make significant gains in its war in Ukraine.
Syrian fighters have gained years of experience fighting in their country’s civil war, which has all but crushed both ISIS and the rebel resistance, but left the economy in tatters.
But now those who honed their skills during President Bashar al-Assad’s brutal 11-year-war cannot find work at home. Instead, they are choosing to become mercenaries, fighting for foreign countries in order to earn a living.

It seems they were likely unloaded; if loaded there would be a massive explosion as the 24 thermobaric rockets detonated. Either way, a serious loss as these are very powerful systems. pic.twitter.com/jVokspMMKD

… Hubbard’s business, Atlas Survival Shelters, is busier than ever, he says. Just a few weeks ago he was fielding quotes and requests for information on his product every one or two minutes.
Hubbard and others in the industry say they’ve noticed a dramatic upward trend in civilians worldwide requesting alternative shelters and fortified homes.
I remember way back when Saddam Hussein was considered a credible threat to launch chemical warfare and local sales of surplus gas masks went through the roof.
After Mikhail Benyash, a Russian lawyer, said he would be defending a group of national guardsmen who refused to join the war in Ukraine, he was inundated with calls from across the country.
“A lot of people don’t want to go and fight,” Benyash said by telephone from the southern city of Krasnodar, adding that about 1,000 people had been in touch with his team, as he pursues the first court case to officially reveal dissent inside the ranks of Russia’s security forces over the invasion.
… When it comes to price fixing, the United States doesn’t fool around. When Congress and the White House have concerns, they act on them. In Canada, not so much.
The bread price-fixing scandal, which came to light in 2017 when Loblaw admitted having participated in an alleged industry-wide operation, opened the door to some public criticism. In 2017, Loblaw’s Ghalen Weston strategically threw everyone in the industry under the bus when admitting Loblaw’s involvement in a 14-year-long bread price-fixing scheme. By admitting guilt and supporting the investigation, Loblaw received immunity from the Competition Bureau.
If you’re going to be a criminal in Canada be a white collar criminal. The Government may even buy you new freezers.
Families, friends and survivors listen in silence to recordings from inside theatre where 90 people died
On the evening of 13 November 2015, about 1,500 concertgoers were watching the California rock band Eagles of Death Metal at the Bataclan theatre in central Paris. At the beginning it was “a great show”, fans reported afterwards. Youngsters were dancing in the pit in front of the stage and on the balcony; some were buying drinks at the bar.
On Friday, for the first time, a French court heard audio recordings and saw photographs of what happened next. There was silence as the court was played three sound recordings from the Bataclan attack, one of a series of bombings and shootings across Paris that killed 130 people and injured more than 300.
To say that Just Stop Oil – the latest offshoot of the Extinction Rebellion cult – is ‘out of touch’ is more than an understatement. Even to say that these activists live in a ‘parallel universe’ doesn’t capture the vast chasm between their eco-extremist view of the world and the reality that ordinary people have to live in.
I don’t just mean they are ‘out of touch’ in class terms – though there is that. I’d wager that young ‘Louis, Maddie and Kai’, as profiled glowingly in the Guardian, have never had to worry about struggling to pay a heating bill. And, certainly, it takes a steely indifference to ordinary folk to set out to make their lives more difficult today of all days.
The Ukraine war has revealed the double-standards of the global north’s immigration policies. Refugees from Africa, Asia and Latin America deserve the same sympathy
Global migration policy has started to move in a more humane direction in response to the invasion of Ukraine. While many states are welcoming displaced Ukrainians, this is a far cry from how those states typically treat refugees. Activists and scholars have lamented the lack of similar response to people displaced from south Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The uneven global response to migration on display sets a chilling precedent for the displacement that is likely to come with the climate crisis.
Hell No. And Fuck Off.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned during the pandemic it’s that many parents had no idea what was going on in their kids’ schools. Oh, parents knew there was crazy stuff going on in other schools, but by and large, there was a sense of NIMBY — it’s not happening in my backyard. Sadly, we’ve become increasingly aware of the abuses and indoctrination children across the country are suffering at the hands of unhinged teachers — teachers pushing their left-wing political agendas, encouraging children to be sexual deviants, and treating parents like they are not qualified to raise their own children without the state intervening in their families.
In the eight child-porn cases that came before her court, former D.C. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson heard horrifying details of “sadomasochistic” torture of young kids — including “infants and toddlers” — yet challenged the disturbing evidence presented by prosecutors and disregarded their prison recommendations to give the lightest possible punishments in each case, according to transcripts of sentencing hearings obtained by the Post.
In some cases, she even apologized to some of the kiddie-porn perverts for having to follow the statutes, which she called “substantially flawed.”
The Liberals are either governing in a fantasy universe or they are being deliberately reckless. How else do you explain that, in the same week our European allies were preparing to ration energy, being held hostage as they are by a murderous tyrant wreaking havoc in Ukraine, our government announced a dramatic acceleration of its plan to hobble the oil and gas industry?
The Hollywood actor Sean Penn has called for a billionaire to come forward and buy two squadrons of F-15 or F-16 aircraft for Ukraine in an unlikely attempt to tip the scales against the Russian invaders in the five-week-old war.
The actor’s plea for somebody to come and spend $300m on “12 aircraft with better tech than Russian MiGs or SU’s” mirrored a request a couple of hours earlier from Ukraine’s air force for US-made fighters.
OTTAWA—As Pierre Poilievre and his team watch thousands of people jam into his Conservative leadership campaign events, they say they are seeing a new political movement take shape.
Gesturing to all the young people at an event in North York last week, Conservative MP Adam Chambers called it proof Poilievre is reaching a different demographic.
“This is a new thing for the Conservative party,” he said.
But Poilevre’s campaign also knows that a movement alone isn’t going to win him the leadership.
What appears to be drawing them are his calls for freedom: from vaccine mandates, from regulations that make it hard to build affordable homes, from taxes that make it expensive to drive a car, and as a whole from a government he says has too much control over their lives.
Russia’s war effort is grinding to a halt because much of the military hardware they need is made in Ukraine, it emerged last night.
Kremlin forces have run out of vital weapons and cannot now replenish their stocks, UK defence sources revealed.
The revelations came as President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces drove Russia out of dozens of towns around Kyiv and the north in one of the most extraordinary days since the start of the invasion.
Russian forces ‘leaving mines in dead Ukrainian bodies’ as they retreat, Zelenskyy says
Russian forces are leaving behind “a complete disaster” in their retreat from northern Ukraine, as they leave mines in everything from destroyed equipment to dead bodies, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
Despite a Russian pledge this week to reduce “military activity in the direction of Kyiv and Chernihiv”, Ukraine’s leader said residents must be prepared of further attacks.

#Ukraine: Low Quality but very interesting video of the famous FGM-148 Javelin ATGM in action with Ukrainian SOF against a Russian tank- which is totally destroyed.
