Google’s robot taxis are to be investigated by American regulators amid claims the self-driving cars flouted traffic laws.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Tuesday said its investigation would look at 444 vehicles owned by Waymo, a subsidiary of Google’s parent Alphabet.
It follows reports of 22 incidents, including 17 collisions, which included behaviour that potentially broke traffic laws, the regulator said.
The Left in Flanders is in a tizzy after the Flemish nationalist Vlaams Belang party, inspired by Hungary’s demographic approach to public spending, proposed incentivising couples to have children.
With Belgium’s June 9th elections fast approaching, and Vlaams Belang topping the latest polls by a wide margin (securing a commanding 28% of the vote), leftist establishment parties are doing their utmost to publicize the supposed ‘far-right’ threat Vlaams Belang presents in the northern, Dutch-speaking part of Belgium.
A top government climate scientist has called for a major “culling of the human population” in order to fight “global warming.”
Professor Bill McGuire argues that a “pandemic with a very high fatality rate” is required to wipe out a large portion of the human race.
According to McGuire, a mass depopulation event is “the only realistic way” to “avoid a catastrophic climate breakdown.”
The former Navy pilot is looking at 5 years in prison thanks to Soros-backed D.A.
FrontPage Mag readers may recall that back in December I wrote about Michael Cassidy, a conservative Christian and former Navy pilot who tore down a Satanic altar competing with a Christmas display of the Nativity in the Iowa State Capitol. Originally charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief, Cassidy was subsequently hit with a hate crime charge by Polk County Democrat Attorney Kimberly Graham, a prosecutor funded by – surprise – left-wing billionaire financier George Soros. Cassidy is now looking at a possible five years in prison.
An Israeli flag raising ceremony to mark the country’s independence on Tuesday was not attended by Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, who called the event “divisive” in a statement.
Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day) falls from sundown on May 13 to sundown on May 14. In recognition of the event, Toronto city councillors gathered to raise the Israeli flag at City Hall on Tuesday morning as is tradition, but Chow opted not to participate.

Are the campus protests just noise? A look back at the anti-apartheid movement offers insights
On campuses across Canada and the United States, students, faculty and alumni are organizing to press their universities to divest their holdings in companies doing business in Israel. Students are holding rallies and constructing encampments, and they have occupied college buildings. Some commentators have dismissed these actions as naïve or a flash in the pan that will soon dissipate. The lessons of history tell us that this is not likely to be the case.
The author believes SA is a shining example of student activism. I suppose he considers Kill the Boer a happy tune.
OTTAWA – The foreign minister of the Philippines wants closer business and military ties with Canada, saying the two countries can help maintain the post-war order in the Indo-Pacific by maintaining peaceful relations with both the U.S. and China.
“The future of our region should not be determined by the great power rivalry,” Enrique Manalo, the secretary of foreign affairs for the Philippines said in an interview last week.
“Today’s world is a lot different than it was after the Second World War, when you had a clear distinction between the West and the East. Now, you have a much more competitive world — and our relationships are more complex.”
Is this some kind of Joke?
Chloe Veltman, a correspondent on National Public Radio’s “Culture Desk” who last year celebrated the “Nation’s first ‘drag laureate,'” is still guarding the far-left ramparts of U.S. culture for NPR with Saturday’s “The Met Gala has fueled backlash against stars who are silent about the Gaza conflict.”
The avian flu has reportedly spread to 42 dairy herds across nine states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Now, concerns are being raised about further spread of the virus to humans.
The Ford government says it plans to suspend some driver’s licenses for people found guilty of auto theft offences in legislation set to be tabled later in the week.
Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria, along with Solicitor General Michael Kerzner, teased the proposed new law Tuesday, which could lead to repeat vehicle thieves having their licenses suspended for life in certain cases.
If this goes through we’ll see car theft prosecutions declared racist.
A new campaign aimed at having men reflect upon their driving behavior is now online in France. The Victimes et Citoyens association has issued a plea for men to “Drive like a woman!”
Victimes & Citoyens provides support to victims of traffic accidents and tries to create awareness about road safety.
At least two French prison guards were shot dead and three others seriously injured on Tuesday after heavily armed men ambushed a prison van to free an inmate, French police said, triggering a major manhunt.
The orchestrated attack, which comes amid rising drug-linked violence across Europe, took place Tuesday morning at a toll booth in Incarville in northern France. The inmate and the attackers escaped, police said.
