A suspected foreign jihadist blew herself and her little girl up with an explosives belt as security forces closed in in mountains of central Tunisia, the interior ministry said on Friday.
The child she was carrying died on the spot and another small girl was wounded when the woman detonated the belt on Thursday.
Fundraising platform GoFundMe allegedly shut down a fundraiser for parents trying to stop their local school district from indoctrinating children with anti-American racial curriculum.
Parents were punished for rebelling against Critical Race Theory being forced on their kids, and a fundraiser to help them during a harassment campaign against them has been shut down.
The 2021 MLB All-Star Game won’t be in Atlanta.
Major League Baseball announced Friday afternoon that the game and the MLB draft would be moving out of the state of Georgia because of the state’s new law that restricts voting rights.
National Public Radio has corrected an online article that falsely asserted that documents from first son Hunter Biden’s laptop had been “discredited by U.S. intelligence.”
A book review of Hunter Biden’s memoir “Beautiful Things” initially dismissed the documents first reported in October by The Post.
Without assurances of support from the defence minister, a woman who made an informal complaint in 2018 against Canada’s top soldier wanted to let the matter go, the military’s former ombudsman told the Star.
As a result, Gary Walbourne said he did not pass on an allegation of misconduct to his successor about Jonathan Vance, the now retired general who was then Canada’s chief of the defence staff.
“No, I didn’t pass it on, because the complainant asked me to let it go,” Walbourne said. “Once I couldn’t get top cover from the minister, she was out.”
“…If hate is taught, it can be untaught through education, right?
Wrong, according to a new survey spearheaded by Prof. Jay P. Greene, Prof. Albert Cheng and Ian Kingsbury, who discussed their results in a feature article published recently in Tablet magazine. Their survey was designed to determine whether anti-Semitism is associated with lower levels of education. Their shocking results reveal that we have probably put too much of our faith over the last century into education. In fact, it’s possible that the opposite may be true — that the more educated you are, the more anti-Semitic you might be.”
In July 2019, Mehmet Tohti was just hours away from speaking publicly to politicians about the Chinese government’s horrific abuse of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang when he received a message on Twitter:
“Your f—ing mother is dead,” it read.
The French government has rejected the use of the term “Islamophobia”, saying Islamists use it to silence criticism of radical Islam.
The French Interministerial Committee for the Prevention of Delinquency and Radicalisation rejected the term earlier this week, stating: “To speak of hatred against Muslims, the term ‘Islamophobia’ is inappropriate since it confuses the stigmatisation of believers with criticism of Islam.”
Police say they are recommending charges against a Vancouver man after a confrontation involving an anti-masker on Main Street over the weekend.
Vancouver police said a convoy of vehicles was taking part in an anti-mask rally on Saturday afternoon.
A passenger in one of the vehicles was speaking through a bullhorn addressing people on the street.
What brought that on? The attacker isn’t wearing a mask.
At this moment, a Vancouver postman named Rob Hoogland is sitting in a jail cell in British Columbia. He will be there until at least April 12, when he’s scheduled for a court date. At that time, he may be ordered to remain behind bars for a period yet to be determined.
Has Hoogland killed or robbed somebody? Is he an arsonist? A rapist? No. What did he do, then? Short answer: he tried to save his emotionally unstable daughter from self-destruction.
Messages don’t come much more mixed than the ones delivered Thursday by Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his top COVID-19 advisers.
In the morning, Dr. Adalsteinn Brown, co-chair of the province’s science advisory group, presented his usual prophecy of doom. The latest COVID modelling projects sharply increasing case numbers as the deadlier, more contagious virus variants take over. Cases could go up to 6,000 a day by the end of April, maybe even 12,000 a day.
A “festival” at Bois de la Cambre in Brussels began as an April Fools’ prank on social media, and ended with police using tear gas and water cannon to disperse several thousand partygoers defying the Covid-19 lockdown.
Around 5,000 mainly young people showed up at the forest park just south of Brussels on Thursday, for an event called “La Boum” (a reference to a 1980s French teen rom-com) even though it was obviously an April 1 prank.

When it comes to health care, Canadians only seem to care about one thing: Are we better than the United States?
As long as we “beat” the U.S., we remain smug about our performance, although this attitude can be hard to square with the tens of thousands of Canadians who get quick access to top-level care in the US each year, or the snowbirds vaccinated for COVID weeks or months ahead of their stay-at-home peers.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A train partially derailed in eastern Taiwan on Friday after colliding with an unmanned vehicle that had rolled down a hill, killing 48 people. With the train still partly in a tunnel, survivors climbed out of windows and walked along the train’s roof to reach safety after the country’s deadliest railway disaster.
The crash occurred near the Toroko Gorge scenic area on the first day of a long holiday weekend when many people were hopping trains on Taiwan’s extensive rail system. The train had been carrying more than 400 people.
