The View: Trump Crime Crackdown Literal ‘War’ Against Americans

Monday marked the beginning of season 29 for ABC’s The View. Back from their summer hiatus, the liberal ladies were just as unhinged as ever as they decried President Trump’s crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital. Co-host Joy Behar suggested that Trump was going to have the National Guard launch a literal “war” against American civilians. Meanwhile, co-host Sara Haines proclaimed that the money used to support the Guard was better spent on one night of shelter for the homeless, rather than deterring murders.

Africa joins crusade for UK to pay reparations for ‘historic crimes’

Africa has joined a campaign to claim reparations from Britain for “historic crimes”.

The African Union called for “meaningful reparations” from “former colonial powers” for exploiting the people, land and resources of the continent.

The bloc blamed “systemic injustice” ongoing in the continent on imperialism in the 19th century.


OK Africa but let’s start with making your African Slave Trading Tribes pony up their share and then we’ll do a tally of all the foreign aid your sinkhole of a continent will be paying back.

Ex-CNN host Don Lemon heckled as ‘f–king moron’ who is ‘full of s–t’ in fiery NYC street clash caught on tape

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was branded a “f–king moron” during a tense street confrontation with a passerby in New York City — a clash that quickly spiraled into a profanity-laced shouting match captured on video.

The ex-primetime host, who was ousted from CNN in 2023, approached a man during a man-on-the-street segment in Manhattan for his podcast and the exchange turned ugly almost immediately.

“You’re a f–king moron, dude,” the man told Lemon, cutting him off within seconds of Lemon introducing himself.

Greta Thunberg’s Gaza flotilla hit by drone, organisers claim – Tunisia claims climate goblin with the bad haircut was hopped up on dope

Tunisian authorities have denied claims that one of the Gaza-bound vessels carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists including Greta Thunberg was attacked by a drone.

The organisers of the flotilla, Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), said that the Portuguese-flagged vessel had been struck by a drone while anchored outside the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. All six passengers and crew were safe, they added.

A spokesperson for Tunisia’s national guard told the Agence France-Presse news agency that “no drone” had been detected and the investigation was ongoing.

Good to know: No, men cannot be victims of female genital mutilation

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is the sick practice whereby a girl has her labia and clitoris removed with a knife, before her vagina is effectively sealed, with a small hole left for urination and menstruation. It is carried out in predominantly North African countries – notably Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia – and is done to ensure the girls’ chastity and ‘cleanliness’ prior to marriage. It is a crime in the UK and one of the most repugnant violations on the rights of women and girls. And men, too – according to the College of Policing, that is.

Jamie Sarkonak: The National Film Board’s race-based licensing regime

In 2021, the National Film Board decided to become a political organization. It adopted a grand plan to hire based on identity, create new management roles focused on enforcing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), promote progressive concepts like intersectionality and reconstitute its policies around race. And reconstitute it did. That year, it began restricting the use of archival footage by race.

As part of its DEI overhaul, the film board instituted an “Indigenous Content Moratorium,” halting the “licensing of archives, excerpts and photos portraying Indigenous participants to clients who do not self-identify as Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit or Métis).” The policy, which the NFB described as “temporary,” applies to about 600 entries in the archive. An archive entry that contains mostly white people and only one Indigenous person would not be covered, however.
