WaPo plays the antisemite card on Elon Musk

In “Long before Musk, Henry Ford battled with Jewish Groups“ (11/8/23), The Washington Post stoops to an absurd comparison between Henry Ford and Elon Musk. Henry Ford was known for his rabidly antisemitic hate speech, whereas Elon Musk merely hosts a virtual town square for speech by others. Ford was a source of inspiration to Adolf Hitler, whereas Elon Musk has never backed a hate group.

New Jersey elementary school janitor Giovanni Impellizzeri who ‘urinated in food, put feces in taco meat and rubbed his genitals on cooking utensils’ claimed he was a ‘Satanist’ and WANTED to make kids sick, prosecutor says

A janitor at a New Jersey elementary school went online to brag about how he had contaminated food being served to children with bleach, bodily fluids, and even his own feces in order to get them sick, it is alleged.

Giovanni Impellizzeri, 25, claimed online to be a Satanist ‘doing the devil’s work’, has been charged with child endangerment, aggravated assault and tampering with the food at Elizabeth F. Moore School in the Upper Deerfield School District.

Messages Impellizzeri allegedly posted to the encrypted phone app Telegram, were displayed in Cumberland County Superior Court as part of bail hearing that saw Judge Cristen D’Arrigo remand him in custody rather than being released.

ABC, CBS, and NBC Elevate Gaza Video from KNOWN Propaganda Influencer

If you’re on X (formerly known as Twitter) and follow the Israel-Hamas War, you’re likely aware of the man we’re about to speak of. Saleh Aljafarawi, dubbed “Mr. FAFO” and “Mr. Pallywood,” is a KNOWN Hamas-linked social media influencer and crisis actor. But those easily researchable facts were of no interest to ABC’s World News Tonight, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News on Friday as they all, much like MSNBC did, treated his content as though it was a legitimate source of news from Gaza.

David Rosenberg: Canada can’t count to a million — and it’s skewing the data policymakers need

A thoughtful approach to immigration has been a historical strength of Canadian economic policy. The recent post-COVID-19 immigration surge has created a number of well-known challenges, however, as slow-moving housing markets and social services systems adjust to the sudden rise in the country’s population.

But another, seemingly more basic, problem has arisen for policymakers and analysts alike: Canada’s population has become increasingly difficult to count, and the balance of evidence points toward an undercount of one million temporary residents in the country’s main employment survey. This has eroded the reliability of a host of market-relevant variables involving population counts, from employment figures to housing construction to productivity.

This just in: The rich are getting richer

The richest people in Canada got a lot richer in 2021, even as the poorest half of all tax filers saw their incomes decline by $1,400.
