The International Criminal Court welcomed US President Joe Biden’s lifting of sanctions imposed by former US president Donald Trump on the tribunal’s prosecutor, saying it signalled a new era of cooperation with Washington.
The Trump administration imposed the financial sanctions and a visa ban on Fatou Bensouda and another senior court official last year after she launched an investigation into alleged war crimes by US military personnel in Afghanistan.
A man suspected of setting fires at three Masonic halls earlier this week appears to have posted conspiratorial Facebook commentary against the Freemasons and the COVID-19 vaccination program.
Benjamin Orion Carlson Kohlman, 42, is due back in provincial court in Vancouver on April 6 on charges of arson and assaulting a police officer. He remains in custody.
A Good Friday service at a Polish church was shut down by police for breaching Covid rules as worshippers were threatened with £200 fines.
Officers shut down the religious ceremony in Balham High Street, south London, at around 5pm yesterday.
Footage shared on social media shows an officer tell worshippers that the gathering is ‘unlawful’ and that they have to go home.
This is just abhorrent. If I were the priest I would ask the police to arrest me first. I am shaking with rage that such behaviour is permitted.pic.twitter.com/v40dmVC62W

Elsewhere in the UK – Jeremy Corbyn speaks to crowds in Parliament Square as tens of thousands of Kill the Bill activists march on London and towns and cities across UK while war memorial is vandalised and activists ignore police warnings to stay away
One of the themes of our summer audio entertainment The Prisoner of Windsor is that most of the chaps who matter in this world are people you’ve never heard of – by which I mean they are other than the omnipresent pygmies of the political scene: In a settled democratic society such as Canada, for example, if you wind up with an electoral contest between a woke mammy singer with a banana in his pants and a hollow husk less lifelike than his CBC election-night hologram whose only core belief is that he has no core beliefs other than that party donations should pay for his kids’ schooling, you can take it as read that the real action must be elsewhere.
“After I published a post this week about elite journalists’ increasing reliance on “therapeutic trauma jargon” to make professional demands, one of the journalists mentioned really went out of her way to confirm the core thrust of the post. Felicia Sonmez, a national political reporter at the Washington Post — I repeat, not some lowly precarious freelance rando, but a national political reporter at the Washington Post — appeared to claim I was morally derelict in failing to investigate her private health history before writing the Substack item. As it turns out, she’d had an especially fraught medical appointment the previous day, which I apparently should’ve known about. And so in publishing that post I was attempting to “silence trauma survivors” such as herself.“
The Biden administration is ratcheting up its appeasement policies towards the Iranian regime in an apparent effort to revive the 2015 nuclear deal — which by the way, Iran never signed.
US President Joe Biden made his intention to return to the nuclear deal public before he took office; after, he appointed as Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman — a key negotiator in the talks which led to the nuclear deal in 2015 during the Obama administration. Biden actually publicized Sherman’s professed accomplishment…
Former President Trump called Friday night for a boycott of Major League Baseball, Coke and Delta Airlines — and all other companies that have pulled out of Georgia or otherwise protested the state’s controversial new voting reform bill.
The Republican called for a boycott in a statement he issued hours after MLB announced it is pulling the All-Star Game from Atlanta in response to the bill, which President Biden has labeled “Jim Crow in the 21st century.”
Protesters disturbed diners at a Manhattan restaurant on Thursday night and broke windows of the restaurant’s outdoor dining setup before vandalizing a police vehicle.
Six plexiglass windows of Balthazar were smashed in their outdoor dining room around 9:40pm.
A photo posted by the NYPD also shows damage the protesters did to a cop car in the area.
After Qween Jean swiftly demands Spring Street diners' attention for an important message about NYC's Black and Brown communities, she concludes, "Have a good evening," and the group sweeps onward.

Don’t blame the children of Park Slope and Echo Park for the nonsense. Blame those adults with the power to stop it.
The mountain of witches is piling up. At the top of the heap is Sharon Osbourne, the Captain Underpants guy, the Bachelor host, or whatever C-list celebrity failed to condemn “Gone with the Wind” on Instagram with sufficient fervor. But by the time you read this they’ll surely be eclipsed by another faux-outrage pieced together by the microaggression-hunters poring over old text messages or yellowing screen-shots of Halloween parties past.
If you read one thing today make it this article, a splendid evisceration of cancel culture and its enablers.
As referenced in the article Cadillac is featuring Tamika Mallory, an anti-semite and Louis Farrakhan admirer in its ads.

Hunter Biden has thrust himself back into the limelight. At this point, you have to seriously question whether he’s a masochist.
Or he just needs the money. Could go either way.
Prince Biden began promoting his to-be-released memoir, “Beautiful Things,” starting with an excerpt from the book recounting, in part, the attacks he faced from President Trump during the 2020 campaign.
An elected member of the Ontario legislature has invoked one of history’s most evil, murderous dictators to complain about the provincial government’s month-long shutdown to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Randy Hillier, the independent MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, used social media to post a picture of Adolf Hitler looking over Nazi followers with the caption, “THE THIRD WAVE.”
The Third ….wave. Everyone who has ever been to the sea, knows there is no end to waves.
Its only 28 days this time.
Truth does not mind being questioned. Lies do not like to be challenged. #onpoli #WeAreLivingaLie #nomorelockdowns pic.twitter.com/Ov3twJGqdM— Randy Hillier (@randyhillier) April 1, 2021
Personally I believe the reaction to Hillier’s tweet is more “over the top” than the tweet itself.
Ontario is reporting 3,009 cases of #COVID19 today and 3,089 cases reported yesterday. Today, there are 954 new cases in Toronto, 434 in Peel, 348 in York Region, 205 in Ottawa and 146 in Hamilton.

Let’s be honest about the state of Ontario during this pandemic
When people tell you we have to listen to the science when it comes to COVID-19, there’s an expectation that science is pure and can’t be questioned.
Of course, science is never pure and should always be questioned, including when politics are involved.
I am guilty of having enabled Buddy’s habit of drinking out of the bathroom sink. Yes I run the water for him. Though I have learned to keep the toilet seat down. Little black paw prints all over the sink etc are something I’ll have to live with.
With the warmer weather I have been introducing buddy to the balcony, supervised excursions only. Pip loved to spend his afternoons there soaking up the sun and we learned not to fear leaving him alone. Boisterous Buddy on the other hand seems less aware of consequences and a leash and harness may be in order.
Facebook has confirmed it pulled the social media accounts of Noah Green, the 25-year-old suspect who mowed down two Capitol cops, killing one, before being shot dead at the US Capitol.
The social media giant said in a statement to CNN it had suspended Green’s accounts from Facebook and Instagram under its policy around dangerous individuals and organization, in the wake of Friday afternoon’s deadly attack.
Like a cancerous tumor that has metastasized in the body, Critical Race Theory and its variants including social justice; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI); anti-racism; cultural competency; and implicit bias have poisoned all aspects of public education and even some private schools. These hateful and racist philosophies have become entrenched in every level and aspect of American public education.
