Christa Pike is up, walking and ‘angry’ about two botched execution attempts that she survived, lawyer says
Convicted killer Christa Pike is up, walking and angry about the two botched attempts to execute her last week, her lawyers say.
Pike, 50, woke up in the hospital on Tuesday, six days after she was given two supposedly lethal doses of the drug pentobarbital in a Tennessee prison last week.
Although she is still mentally ‘foggy,’ her attorney Stephen Ferrell says she is ‘very aware’ of what happened to her and doing ‘fairly well.’
Search of alleged NATO spy’s online presence was not required for security clearance check, committee hears
The government department responsible for granting secret clearance to the NATO intern arrested in July by Belgian police on suspicion of espionage was not required to look at her social media accounts or presence online before issuing her security clearance, a committee of MPs was told on Wednesday.
Global Affairs Canada granted former federal public servant Biwei Zhang security clearance before she took up her role at NATO last year, following vetting by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and criminal record checks by the RCMP.
Sounds like enabling.
When the Evidence Changes, the Threat Assessment Must Change Too
OTTAWA — New information does not simply add detail to an assessment.
It can change the assessment itself. An initial report may contain little more than a communication alleged to contain a threat. Investigators may not yet know whether the material is authentic, who sent it, whether the sender possesses meaningful capability, what their intent may be, whether they have access to the target or how likely the threatened action is to occur.
WTF?

Rubio: Only The Christian West Could Build The ‘Greatest Civilization In The World’
The West’s achievements are the result of a distinct character shaped by ancient Greece, Rome, and Christianity, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday, urging Western nations to defend that inheritance while warning against open borders and declining national pride.
Speaking from the Pnyx in Athens, Rubio described Western institutions as the “outward expression of more fundamental qualities we see in the Ancient Greeks — qualities that can’t be reduced to any particular political system or theory.”
Trump eyes Nord Stream deal with Putin
Donald Trump is considering a deal with Vladimir Putin to reopen the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
Jared Kushner, Mr Trump’s special envoy, reportedly held talks with Russian officials to discuss American investment in the pipeline to profit from energy flows to Europe once the war ends.
The pipelines delivered gas to Germany from Russia before it invaded Ukraine.
The Belated Execution of Major Hasan
On November 5, 2009, Army Major Nidal Hasan walked into the Soldier Readiness Processing Center at Fort Hood, shouted “Allahu Akbar,” and opened fire on unarmed soldiers preparing to deploy. He killed thirteen people and wounded thirty-two. One of the dead was Private Francheska Velez, who was pregnant. A court-martial in 2013 convicted Hassan of thirteen counts of premeditated murder and thirty-two counts of attempted murder and sentenced him to death. Then the country waited.
Canadians most likely to give up on homeownership, survey says
Housing costs are making Canadians rethink homeownership , with many already giving up on the idea of ever owning a home.
More than half or 56 per cent of Canadians who don’t own a home say they don’t expect to ever own one, according to a survey by housing non-profit Habitat for Humanity.
Majority of antisemitic assaults now come from the Left
Three years ago, Hamas murdered, raped and slashed its way into Israel, abducting innocent victims and bringing a bloody, self-destructive war to Gaza. This, in turn, has unleashed a wave of antisemitism in the West. While some fear a homegrown antisemitic Right, personified by Tucker Carlson’s Hitler apologetics, data shows it is the Left that currently poses a far greater threat to American Jews.
This is not a ‘student protest’ – it’s an intifada against France
‘In the name of Allah, we can kill them all!’, screams a masked student rioter named ‘Yanis’. He was filmed standing on top of a car, gesturing to the 10 or so police officers struggling to contain a restless crowd of teenagers. His chilling cry is met with cheers and exultation from the students outside the Honoré de Balzac high school near Paris. ‘Yanis, the voice of reason’ reads the subtitle on the now viral video of the speech.
🇫🇷 French muslim rioter Yanis, at the lycée Honoré-de-Balzac in Mitry-Mory (Seine-et-Marne), is heard screaming to the mob.
« Ils sont que dix, au nom d’Allah, on les tue ! » (“They’re only ten, in the name of Allah we kill them”).
Calling violence against the police.
On screen it says “Yanis is the voice of reason”
I thought this was about schooling?

Abolishing Catholic Hospitals to Make It Easier to Kill People
Euthanasia is killing quite a lot of people in Canada. 5% of deaths are now the work of the government. But to make killing people seem less bad, they called it MAID. Which sounds like a home cleaning service. That kills you.
The same people who reject the idea of the death penalty for murderers are really enthusiastic about this sort of death care.

Anti-ICE protesters clashed with the NYPD Thursday night outside a Bronx hospital where a “criminal illegal” migrant was being treated after he was shot in the neck by a federal agent.
About 300 demonstrators gathered outside NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, calling for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to get “off our streets” after the agent-involved shooting in the Marble Hill neighborhood earlier in the day.

Terror groups drawn to recruit in Canada because of multiculturalism, academic says
The recent slew of hate-motivated incidents in Canada had myriad alleged motivations, from Islamism to white supremacy. The terror groups that promote such ideologies were likely drawn to recruit in Canada because of its multiculturalism, says one academic.
“Most Canadians are big fans of multiculturalism. We celebrate it. It’s part of our existence,” says Arne Kislenko, a professor of international relations at Trinity College, University of Toronto and in Toronto Metropolitan University’s history department.
Uh sure.
