Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley was allegedly so worried that then-President Donald Trump might attempt a coup after the presidential election last year that he and other service chiefs discussed a plan to resign rather than carry it out, according to reports about a forthcoming book by two Washington Post reporters.
Former chief of the defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance has been charged under Section 139 of the Criminal Code with one count of obstruction of justice following a probe by military police into allegations of inappropriate behaviour that were first reported by Global News in February.
Vance has been at the centre of a military reckoning over sexual misconduct allegations levelled against multiple senior leaders in the Canadian Forces since Global News first reported on the allegations against him on Feb. 2, 2021.
Britons should eat one-third less meat, and salt and sugar must be taxed, according to a review commissioned by the government, which also recommends subsidies from the taxpayer to promote the development of “alternative proteins”, which could include lab-grown meat.
The European Union’s top court backed employers banning Islamic headscarves and other religious attire — provided the curbs are vital to show neutrality in the workplace and don’t single out specific beliefs.
Such bans on garments that express certain political, philosophical or religious beliefs may be justified “by the employer’s need to present a neutral image toward customers or to prevent social disputes,” the EU Court of Justice said in a binding ruling on Thursday.
History reminds us that great nations have been brought down when their leaders failed the ultimate test – one that requires unwavering courage, insightful vision, and resolute patriotism.
Historian Paul Kennedy writes in his book “The Rise and Fall of Great Powers” that empires able to bring superior economic and technological resources to bear invariably win the pitiless fight for global power. First published in 1989, his book is not only relevant today but should be required reading in Washington.
A former BBC journalist who was sacked earlier this year after historic anti-Semitic content was found in her Twitter feed, has been condemned on social media for blaming the “pro-Israel mob” for her firing.
On Wednesday, Tala Halawa, a Palestinian journalist who was unceremoniously let go from the BBC in June, blasted the British broadcaster for her sacking and accused it of giving into the “pro-Israel mob.”
In less than two months we will honor the 20-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks on our country. Twenty years since terrorists killed roughly 3,000 Americans and injured another 6,000. Twenty years since the FBI was too busy to look into information about a handful of Muslims who wanted to learn how to fly planes but not land them. If only Mohamed Atta had been caught with a plane made of Legos.
The Trudeau government can say, if re-elected, that it’s pouring massive amounts of taxpayer money into Indigenous issues.
What Canadians can’t be sure of is to what extent this new spending will improve the lives of Canada’s 1.7 million First Nations, Metis and Inuit people.
A former security intelligence specialist says the recent spate of fires that demolished or partially damaged churches across the country are likely deliberate, which could constitute acts of terrorism under Canadian criminal law.
“As somebody who worked in counterterrorism in Canada for the better part of 15 years—I’ve written six books on the topic—a very strong case could be made that these are actually acts of terrorism,” Phil Gurski, president of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, told The Epoch Times.
Black Lives Matter faced fierce criticism late Wednesday after posting a statement that blasted the U.S. and praised Cuba’s government while the island was destabilized by historic protests and violent crackdowns.
The statement – originally posted on Instagram and later tweeted and retweeted – blamed the U.S. embargo for the country’s instability and credited the Cuban government for historically granting “Black revolutionaries” asylum.
The gap between the Biden administration and the Trudeau government this week on Cuba was wider than the straits that separate Havana from Key West.
U.S. President Joe Biden said the United States “stands firmly with the people of Cuba as they assert their universal rights. And we call on the government of Cuba to refrain from violence in their attempt to silence the voices of the people of Cuba.”
The protests — which saw thousands of Cubans march through cities across the island — are a “clarion call for freedom,” said Biden.

Working-class people are racist beasts in the minds of the new elites.
Not for the first time, the government is being accused of engaging in racist ‘dog whistle’ politics. And also not for the first time, the charge is complete nonsense and reveals far more about the fetid imaginations of the government’s critics than it does about the government itself.
When the apocalypse comes, most of us will barely notice it’s happening. Most technology-driven dystopias are far too interesting to be realistic: the end of the world will be a grinding, bureaucratic affair, its overriding spirit one of weary confusion — about how things work and who’s to blame when things go wrong.
