A senior Ukrainian spy has been shot dead by an assassin using a silenced pistol on the streets of Kyiv.

Col Ivan Voronich, a senior operational officer in Ukraine’s security service, was crossing the street near a block of flats in the capital’s Holosiivskyi district when he was approached by a man with a gun on Thursday morning.

The unknown attacker reportedly shot Col Voronich five times with the pistol before fleeing the scene.

David Gardiner received a handout from the City of Vancouver on June 6, telling him that his street name was going to be changing.

He has lived on the now formerly-named Trutch Street for 40 years, which now bears the name šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street (pronounced sh-MUS-quee-um-AW-sum), which translates to Musqueamview in English.

The smartest AI researchers and engineers have spent the past few months getting hit up by one of the richest men in the world.

Mark Zuckerberg is spending his days firing off emails and WhatsApp messages to the sharpest minds in artificial intelligence in a frenzied effort to play catch-up. He has personally reached out to hundreds of researchers, scientists, infrastructure engineers, product stars and entrepreneurs to try to get them to join a new Superintelligence lab he’s putting together.

Some of the people who have received the messages were so surprised they didn’t believe it was really Zuckerberg. One person assumed it was a hoax and didn’t respond for several days.

Judges will no longer have to refer to criminal defendants by the gender of their choice in an update after the Supreme Court’s transgender ruling.

The revised guidance abandons self-identification language and reaffirms the binary definition of sex to state that the legal definition of a woman means biological female rather than sex attained by the acquisition of a gender recognition certificate (GRC).

It says that non-binary status has no legal footing and sets out that courts may refuse contested pronouns.

The US strike on Iranian nuclear sites — dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer” — was the biggest ever attack by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, and the longest flight the aircraft have made since 2001.

It also marked the first time that the US used the massive, 15-ton GBU-57 bunker buster bombs in combat, dropping 14 of them on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites.

The highly coordinated strike took Tehran by utter surprise Saturday night, with the terrorist state not launching any attacks at incoming American military personnel, according to Chief of the Joint Staff Gen. Dan Caine.

Just WOW…

You would think that an ABC News program like The View would have some sort of journalistic standard they needed to meet, but that clearly wasn’t the case during Wednesday’s episode. In their opening segment flinging crud at Elon Musk, co-host Sunny Hostin claimed he had killed nearly 300,000 children and co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar hinted that he knew how President Trump stole the 2024 presidential election.

Zir has an interesting theory, which it is zir theory, which is a good theory, and this is how it goes, which is that 4-year-old girls who play with trucks don’t ask to go to “gender” “services”, but also that they are definitely not pushed by crazy parents and teachers, but they go anyway, which is good because brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end, and really masculine guys who decide late in life that they are actually women aren’t dodgy or anything.

How does this thing work? Sigh. Click here.

A 21-year-old man has been charged with arson with intent to endanger life over attacks at properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer.

Roman Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian national of Sydenham, southeast London, is alleged to have started fires outside two properties and torched a vehicle in north London.

He has been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life and is due to appear at Westminster magistrates’ court on Friday.

OTTAWA — Alberta Premier Smith vowed on Thursday to move forward with a legal challenge to Ottawa’s incoming clean electricity regulations, rekindling a fight with the just re-elected Liberal government over its decarbonization agenda.

“Today we are taking another step to protect Albertans livelihoods by challenging the constitutionality of (these) regulations in the Court of Appeal of Alberta, and we look forward to making our case,” Smith told reporters in Edmonton.

The Metropolitan Police has been accused of “misleading” a minister over violent placards at a trans rights protest.

Officers from the London force told Dame Diana Johnson, the policing minister, that no threatening signs were on display at Saturday’s demonstration in Parliament Square. This led her to insist in interviews that there was no evidence the law had been broken.

In fact, several were visible, including two with hangmen and slogans such as “the only good terf is a —- one”, implying gender-critical feminists should die.

No different than in Toronto where police have surrendered to the mob.

Donald Trump’s tariff policies remain a lightning rod for debate. Democrats are sounding the alarm, warning of dire economic fallout and painting a picture of looming catastrophe.

Batya Ungar-Sargon, deputy opinion editor of Newsweek, made one of the strongest, most effective cases yet for former President Donald Trump’s tariffs during the latest episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.” She broke down exactly why these tariffs are necessary, and by the end, she left Bill Maher flustered.

Batya Ungar-Sargon stuns Bill Maher into submission when talking about Trump’s rationale on tariffs:

Same “Canadian Super Patriots” hating Trumps tariffs shipped your jobs offshore then flooded Canada with cheap foreign labour to ensure you remained impoverished and grateful for the pittance they pay for the rest.
