Here’s What the Buffalo Shooter’s Alleged Manifesto Actually Says

On Saturday afternoon, an 18-year-old from Upstate New York traveled to Buffalo and live-streamed himself shooting several people, ten of whom he killed, at a Tops Friendly Market in a predominantly black neighborhood. The suspect was captured by law enforcement and has been arraigned on 10 first-degree murder charges.

With their usual swiftness, leftists on Twitter quickly launched a seemingly coordinated effort to blame Fox News and Tucker Carlson for allegedly radicalizing the suspect.

Sounds NDP.

THIS IS SO MESSED UP… Buffalo gunman, 18, ‘had name of a Waukesha Parade victim on his rifle when he murdered 10 in racist attack’ six months after five died when SUV sped through crowd in Wisconsin

The gunman who killed 10 people in a racist attack at an upstate New York grocery store appears to have had the name of a white woman who was run over at a Christmas parade in Wisconsin last year scrawled on his gun. Photos of the rifle used by Payton Gendron, 18, in the live-streamed massacre show the misspelled name of Virginia Sorenson. Sorenson, 79, was at the Waukesha Christmas to perform as part of the ‘Dancing Grannies’ troupe when a man in an SUV plowed into the crowd, killing her and five others. The assailant in the November attack, Darrell Edward Brooks, is a black man who had shared social media posts promoting Black Lives Matter and violence toward white people.

Zelensky hails his country’s Eurovision win and vows to hold next year’s event in Mariupol

President Zelensky has vowed to hold Eurovision in Mariupol next year after an outpouring of support from the European public propelled Ukraine to victory – as Britain’s Sam Ryder earned a shock second place.

Britain surprisingly topped the jury vote and led for most of the night before Ukraine were awarded a mammoth 439 points in the public vote.

The war-torn nation ended on 631 points while the UK finished second with 466 points. Spain finished third with 459 with Sweden fourth on 438.

They expect us to accept the subsidy of our “enemy” through the purchase of their oil & gas while our tax dollars foot the bill for weapons to fight them.

In return they offer us “Eurovision.” Do I have that right?

Flood of weapons to Ukraine raises fear of arms smuggling

President Joe Biden is expected to sign in the coming days a $40 billion security-assistance package that will supercharge the flow of missiles, rockets, artillery and drones to a war-torn Ukraine.

But what remains unclear is Washington’s ability to keep track of the powerful weapons as they enter one of the largest trafficking hubs in Europe.

Ukraine’s illicit arms market has ballooned since Russia’s initial invasion in 2014, buttressed by a surplus of loose weapons and limited controls on their use.

Colby Cosh: Supreme Court follows the science (uh, oh) in ‘automatism’ ruling

For once, the Supreme Court’s Friday payload won’t have us all talking about scary political divisions and intra-justice sniping. The court delivered a 9-0 decision on the fate of Section 33.1 of the Criminal Code, which explicitly eliminated the defence of “automatism” for intoxicated persons who commit unlawful acts of violence. To go over the relevant history in as brisk a fashion as possible…

Candace Owens releases video of visit to tearful BLM leader totally debunking claims of harassment

 

Conservative author and commentator Candace Owens turned the tables on Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors who claimed that she was harassed after Owens paid a visit to her home last week to get answers about the organization’s controversial deal for a $6 million California mansion.

Following Owens’ trip to her Topanga Canyon residence, Cullors posted a tearful video to Instagram accusing the popular pundit of endangering the safety of her family, claiming that the attempt to get answers on the scandalous real estate transaction had the potential to open up the “floodgates of many other right wing people that may next time be bearing arms.”

Dress code offenders feel wrath of Ottawa Police

‘Aggressive’ Ottawa police response to high school dress code protest draws criticism

Ottawa police are being criticized for their response to a student protest outside a Catholic high school over a dress code “blitz,” particularly in contrast to how they responded to the “Freedom Convoy” blockade earlier this year.

Students held a large protest outside Béatrice-Desloges Catholic High School in Orléans during lunch break Friday, a day after students say teachers called several female students out of class for alleged violations of the school dress code.

Beats me.

Liberal Media Desperate: Revive Kim Campbell To Critique CPC … Next Up Robert Stanfield

From Poilievre’s banking pledges to absent climate talk, former PM Campbell questions direction of Conservative Party

Amid discussions about the battle for the soul of the Conservative Party, former Prime Minister Kim Campbell says without leadership on policies such as climate change, the party’s identity will remain in question.

“I’m sorry, if you’re not worried about climate change, and you’re not worried about resurgent authoritarianism, and you’re not a champion of the rights of women to make the contributions they need to make in society, I’m not interested,” she said in an interview on CTV’s Question Period airing Sunday.

This is really aimed at Poilievre. I don’t think he’s going to be the savior of the Conservative party but no question his popularity strikes the LPC media as dangerous. Kim sounds like the Liberal Harpy she always was, just a bit more shrill.

The demolition of Kharkiv

‘Welcome to hell,’ a resident tells me as I arrive

“I will not talk to anyone who calls this war a ‘conflict’! Bye!” The angry response surprises me. I’m typing a message on Facebook chat while I dash through a street in Odessa, buying last minute supplies for my trip to Ukraine’s second city, Kharkiv. A mutual friend has told me to get in touch with a contact she knows there. “Hi, Nataliya,” I type. “I’m interested in covering the work you’re doing documenting Russian war crimes in this conflict.”

Feds and media ignoring doubling of mortality among young and middle-aged adults in latest data

Something is killing off large numbers of 25- to 54-year-olds in the United States, and the powers that be in government and the media are pretending it is not happening. There is no visible effort to study the alarming statistics gathered by actuaries for the life insurance industry, which keeps track of deaths because they directly impact their bottom line through claims from the insured.

Canada’s top court says voluntary extreme intoxication a defence in violent crimes

Booze GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

The Supreme Court of Canada issued a major decision on Friday allowing criminal defendants in cases involving assault — including sexual assault — to use a defence known as self-induced extreme intoxication.

Effectively, it means defendants who voluntarily consume intoxicating substances and then assault or interfere with the bodily integrity of another person can avoid conviction if they can prove they were too intoxicated to control their actions.
