“… Since then, the media, and the Harris/Biden Administration–Joe Biden, vanishing POTUS—have ignored the unfolding debacle. The pier, badly damaged and sort of repaired, supposedly has been dismantled, and multiple US Army(?) ships are in little better shape. Earlier reports indicated those ships had substantial difficulty, so poor was their mechanical condition, even getting to the Middle East. Now it appears they’re no longer able to return to America under their own power. “
Police increasing presence at Hamilton area festivals after swarmings. At Peach Fest, officers ‘likely prevented a shooting’
Hamilton police are increasing the number of officers at community festivals over the next couple of months following a spat of swarming attacks and robberies involving youths at the events last year.
The increased police presence began with the Winona Peach Festival this weekend, where police intervened in several incidents Saturday night.
This new Canada is a Peach!
The number of Canadians registered in Lebanon is nearly 23,000, or four times the amount evacuated by Global Affairs Canada’s past three evacuation efforts in Afghanistan, Sudan, and Haiti combined.
Following an attack by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah on Israel’s north late last month, Global Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly implored Canadians to leave Lebanon while they still have the opportunity to do so.

Generational trauma around “white people”
Find me something more upsetting than a non-binary person being called “ma’am” by a cop.

Five men involved in violent unrest at Makhachkala Airport in October have been sentenced to between six and nine years in prison by a court in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region, its press service reported Friday.
… This was the first case brought against participants in the 29 October pogrom in Makhachkala, the capital of the Muslim-majority republic of Dagestan, in the North Caucasus, when a mob overran the airport, looking for “refugees from Israel”.
The pro-Hamas Muslim lynch mob at the airport in Makhachkala-Dagestan, Russia found its first “suspected Jew.”

MONCTON, N.B. – Ann Marie Reinhart was enjoying a peaceful day’s fishing near southern New Brunswick’s Kingston Peninsula when a sound between a howl and a scream tore through the air.
Birds fell silent, she said, in response to the four eerie calls that sounded like they came from two distinct sources.
“It was not of any animal I’ve ever heard, and I spent a lot of time in the woods,” Reinhart said, though she had little doubt about the creatures behind the noise.
A group of mostly liberal white women were quick to raise their glass in a toast to “being racist” when cajoled into doing so by an undercover man-bun-wearing conservative podcaster Matt Walsh.
Walsh crashed a progressive supper club Race2Dinner commiseration session last year for his upcoming documentary “Am I Racist.” Those dinners, which reportedly cost women up to $5,000, feature two-hour-long “honest” — many say self-loathing — conversations about race typically with eight guests.
A resident of the St-Laurent borough who admitted to sexually abusing six women and two girls over the course of 13 months will probably be deported after Quebec Superior Court rejected his appeal of his 16-month sentence.
… In the appeal, Akra argued that St-Onge did not properly weigh the aggravating factors in his case versus the mitigating factors, including his claim that there was no sexual dimension involved in his crimes. Akra argued he was having difficulty adapting to life in Canada and was working in an environment where he felt he was denigrated.
While determining the sentence, St-Onge noted Akra’s denial that there was a sexual dimension to his crimes and how it contradicted the evidence, including how he told one victim: “You’re so sexy, I want to pleasure you.”
Teachers will be taught to challenge “whiteness” in lessons.
Guidance has been created for teacher-training courses, to ensure future educators are “anti-racist” and prepared to implement this in the classroom.
Teachers will be instructed in how to “disrupt the centrality of whiteness” in schools, according to a best-practice document.
The term “whiteness” in critical race theory refers to social attitudes considered normal by white people, and guidance suggests that concepts including “meritocracy”, “objectivity” and “individualism” should be questioned.
Money woes, harassment pose barriers to diversifying Ont. politics, study finds
New research is highlighting harassment and a lack of financial resources as two common barriers for diverse candidates in Ontario municipal politics.
Titled Mapping the Experiences of Diverse Candidates Running for Municipal Office in Ontario, the project was commissioned by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and released during their annual conference in Ottawa earlier this month.
Its results were compiled from a mix of approaches, including interviews, survey responses and focus groups. There were a total of 118 participants.
Apparently we should be footing the bill for “minority candidates.”
A recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously called for disarmament policies – which reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons – arguing that advancing “queer theory” was essential to that agenda as well as important to America’s national security.
The Biden-Harris administration announced Sneha Nair had been appointed as special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration in February 2024. Nair believes in eradicating purported “White supremacy” in the nuclear field as well as “queering nuclear weapons” as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion push she believes is essential for deterring threats to nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.

In the Danish city of Sønderborg, which skirts the border of Denmark and Germany, a seventeen-year-old girl was walking near the local migrant center when she was grabbed and thrown to the ground by a man who then attempted to undress her.
Fortunately, the young girl was able to fend him off by pepper-spraying him. Her attacker ran off and remains at large. But the important thing was that she avoided being raped, right? Hallelujah!
Paralysed from the shoulders down, 30-year-old Noland Arbaugh relies on technology to make his life easier.
He has a power wheelchair, which he controls by blowing or sucking through a straw. His remote-controlled mattress will sit him up and keep ripples of air circulating at all times to prevent pressure sores building up.
A motorised lift gets him out of bed, while voice-controlled technology around the room helps him control lighting, his fan, TV and sound bar.
