Gun-control wackos are actually blaming TRUMP after the shooting at Brown

Even while law-enforcement officers hunted for the gunman who murdered two students and wounded nine others at Brown University in Rhode Island last week, gun restrictionists unleashed their typical unhinged rhetoric.

Take the reliably partisan Sen. Chris Murphy, who blamed President Donald Trump for engaging in a “dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country.”

The anger is performative and cynical.

Let Them Eat Twinkies: A Short History of Getting American Hunger Wrong

A few days ago, I read a piece in which a man was quoted as saying, flatly, “I ate dog food,” because he was so poor. The line snagged in my mind, not because I doubted that he had struggled, but because I doubted the arithmetic.

It brought back a much older memory. In the 1980s and 1990s, media stories, television shows, and political rhetoric frequently claimed that elderly Americans were so destitute, they were “forced to eat cat food,” because it was all they could afford. I remember hearing this as a child, and even then it didn’t ring true. I’ve been a pet owner most of my life. I know what cat and dog food cost, even the cheap stuff. And as a mom who often lived on the edge of poverty, I know what human staples cost, too. Tuna, ramen, rice, beans, oatmeal — these have always been cheaper, pound for pound and calorie for calorie, than commercially prepared pet food.

Anand summoned Israel’s envoy to explain turning away of Jew Hatey MPs at West Bank border post

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand summoned Israel’s ambassador to explain why a delegation of Canadian members of Parliament was refused entry to the West Bank earlier this week.

Ambassador Iddo Moed was called in by Ms. Anand on Tuesday. Myah Tomasi, a spokesperson for Ms. Anand, said Mr. Moed met Global Affairs officials that day to discuss the treatment of the delegation.

Six MPs were part of a delegation of around 30 Canadians that also included representatives of charitable organizations. The group was denied entry to the West Bank by Israeli authorities on

Tuesday, prompting Ms. Anand to publicly voice her disapproval of their treatment.


I’m sure the Israeli envoy tried desperately not to smirk.

Who is named in the Epstein files? List of famous people exposed in bombshell release

The Justice Department has finally begun releasing the long‑awaited trove of Jeffrey Epstein files — and the initial batch of never‑before‑seen photos and documents includes a jaw‑dropping lineup of high‑profile figures who had contacts with the notorious financier and child rapist.

While the images are explosive, the DOJ has said that being photographed with Epstein doesn’t equate to criminal guilt, and many of the appearances in past photos released — including those by President Trump — are social or casual in nature.

Santas and elves rob Montreal grocery store to ‘give food to the needy’

Dressed in red suits and backed by masked elves, a group of Santas marched into a Montreal supermarket, loaded their bags with thousands of dollars worth of groceries and disappeared into the night.

The bandit Santas later released a statement saying the food would be distributed to the needy, and saying the Robin Hood-style stunt was intended to highlight the spiralling cost of living crisis that has pushed basic necessities increasingly out of reach for ordinary Canadians.

‘She was like a deer in headlights’: how unskilled radical birthkeepers took hold in Canada

In holistic communities and midwifery deserts, women are turning to the Free Birth Society for information and unlicensed providers

When the holistic practitioner Emma Cardinal, 32, became pregnant in May 2023, she planned to have a home birth with midwives. Cardinal lives in a town in British Columbia with strong counter-cultural roots. “The community that I live in, home birth is something a lot of women prioritise,” she explains.

Then Cardinal stumbled across a podcast from the Free Birth Society (FBS). One episode in particular, she says, made an impact: “Unpacking Ultrasound With Yolande Clark.” In it, the Canadian ex-doula Yolande Norris-Clark falsely links ultrasounds to autism and ADHD and states that “ultrasound damages and modifies and destroys cells”.
