Paris police chief, Didier Lallement, has caused a stir after quoting Marxist revolutionary Leon Trotsky in his official New Year greetings cards, sent out to hundreds of elected officials and institutions across the region.
After a tough 2020 and apparently seeking to inspire some camaraderie heading into the new year, Lallement drew on a passage from the founder of the Bolshevik Red Army in which Trotsky attempted to rally his “comrades” against the Russian bourgeoisie.
A woman in the UK was arrested by police after she filmed a video inside an almost completely empty hospital and posted it online.

Intense footage from New York has gone viral, showing a large group of teens attacking a stopped car, then following the vehicle on bikes as it attempted to escape them.
East 20s, #Manhattan, New York, earlier today. ~25 – 50 mixed-age teenagers on BMX bicycles descend onto the streets. Two grab onto a car driving by to catch a ride.

After months of scolding Torontonians for not following COVID-19 public health measures, Toronto’s mayor says he stands by his friends.
One day after Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips admitted to shirking his government’s COVID-19 advice by jetting off to the Caribbean island of St. Barts, John Tory described the Ajax MPP’s decision to take a Christmas vacation in paradise as a ‘mistake’ — doing so no less than 12 times while responding to a reporter’s question during a press conference Wednesday.
Hillary “Hilaria” Baldwin has opened up about being accused of faking her background — insisting it was everyone else’s fault for assuming she was Spanish.
Alec Baldwin’s wife told The New York Times in an interview posted early Wednesday that she had always hidden her parents’ true background as bourgeois Bostonians purely in an innocent attempt to protect their privacy.
And she claimed she was raised by a father with such “deep, deep, deep bonds” with the European nation that, “When we weren’t in Spain, we called it ‘we brought Spain into our home.’”
Ontario Finance Minister Rod Phillips says he’ll return home after news that he travelled to a Caribbean island for a personal vacation amid the COVID-19 pandemic sparked public anger.
On Tuesday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he was “extremely disappointed” that Philips had travelled despite repeated calls for Ontarians to stay home amid rising case counts of the novel coronavirus.
The trip comes at a time when Ontario residents have been asked to make sacrifices, Ford said.
Girlfriend of Nashville bomber Anthony Warner told cops he was making bombs last year
Nashville police were warned in 2019 that Anthony Warner was making a bomb inside his RV — but nothing was done to stop him.
Warner’s girlfriend told Nashville cops on Aug. 21, 2019, that he “was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence,” according to a report Tuesday in The Tennessean.
City cops passed the tip off to the FBI and ATF.
Nashville bomber Anthony Quinn Warner reportedly believed in ‘lizard people’
Authorities are looking into evidence that Nashville RV bomber Anthony Quinn Warner spent time hunting for aliens and was interested in “lizard people,” ABC News reported.
Law enforcement sources told the outlet that investigators found some of Warner’s writings containing ramblings about various conspiracy theories.
Some of the notes were reportedly about the lizard or reptilian conspiracy — the idea that shape-shifting lizard creatures take on human form in an attempt at world domination.
This to me says the Lizard People are running the FBI.
French fashion designer Pierre Cardin has died aged 98. But why did his clothes became “must have” accessories for British football hooligans in the 1980s?
Tributes have been flooding in for Pierre Cardin, who was among the first to design ‘ready-to-wear’ collections in the late 1950s.
A designer with great business acumen, he became the king of designer merchandising in the 1970s and 80s.
The Nashville Christmas Day bomber was a cop-hating hippie with a Magnum P.I. mustache who loved weed, according to a former colleague who claims he was ‘popular with the ladies too’.
Tom Lundborg, who worked with Anthony Quinn Warner back in the 1970s, has broken his silence over his close dealings with the suspected bomber to describe how the 20-something-year-old technician already harbored a hatred for the police more than four decades ago.
From this point onward Cop Hating Hippies will be referred to as the “Far-Right” by mainstream media.
How you say . . . scam artist?
Hilaria Baldwin, the epically thirsty, self-identified Spanish wife of actor Alec, has been outed as a basic white woman from Massachusetts, real name Hillary Hayward-Thomas.
Escandalo!
The cringiest piece of evidence is a clip from the “Today” show, in which Hilaria, speaking in a Spanish accent while cosplaying as some kind of culinary expert, says, “We have very few ingredients. We have tomatoes, we have, um, how you say in Eng — cucumbers.”
They are two young girls from two very different worlds, linked by a global industry that exploits an army of children.
Olivia Chaffin, a Girl Scout in rural Tennessee, was a top cookie seller in her troop when she first heard rainforests were being destroyed to make way for ever-expanding palm oil plantations. On one of those plantations a continent away, 10-year-old Ima helped harvest the fruit that makes its way into a dizzying array of products sold by leading Western food and cosmetics brands.
David Menzies and Andrew Chapados looked back at the many, many times David was assaulted on the job in the past year.
