With America’s 250th birthday coming up next month, ABC News co-host Sunny Hostin went on an anti-American rant during Friday’s episode of The View. Hostin, who once said she felt more comfortable in Ghana than America, proclaimed she was “embarrassed” by many things about the country that gave her the privilege to be a multimillionaire TV co-host. She even asserted that America was a “failed experiment” in self-governance.
The former senior CIA official found with more than $40 million worth of gold bars in his house allegedly created a fake, highly classified intelligence program that he used as a conduit to funnel millions of dollars for his personal use, according to people familiar with the criminal investigation.
David J. Rush, who was arrested last month and charged with one count of theft of public money, constructed what is known as a “special access program,” a sort of black box for the most secret intelligence operations, the people familiar with the investigation said. Even intelligence personnel with the highest security clearance cannot access an individual SAP, as they are known, without specific authorization.
I’ve been writing a lot about the horrific two-tier justice system in the United Kingdom this week, for obvious reasons.
So I might as well round out my week with another story, highlighting the differences between how ‘hate crimes’ (not a fan of that term, since a lot of crimes are motivated by hate, even if race and gender aren’t involved) committed by a member of a “protected class” (which should not exist) are reported.
Three-and-a-half-thousand hungry Alsatians wolf down platters of charcuterie and periodically burst into noisy chorus.
No, it is not the police dogs’ annual convention, but the latest iteration of a feasting phenomenon that is sweeping provincial France.
The Alsace town of Colmar – famous for its half-timbered medieval centre – was the scene last weekend of one of the banquets géants – huge banquets whose popularity in the country has suddenly become a hot political issue.
French People Enjoying Being French People is a bad thing say perverse French leftists.
Listen to what these Police officers say:
It doesn’t matter if what you said wasn’t racist, if someone claims it was we can arrest you.

The City of Boise, Idaho, posted a video featuring "June," a male librarian pretending to be a woman, to announce a "Pride resource fair" that's offering "affirming services" and LGBTQ merch.
Your tax dollars are being used to fund this shit.

RCMP say a 36-year-old officer from Quebec is facing charges after allegedly taking part in organizing the entry of a family member into Canada in September 2024 through an unguarded path.
The federal police force says Aaron Baringue, from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., has been charged with breach of trust and obstruction and is scheduled to appear in court on July 20.
RCMP Cst. Marie-Pierre Guertin says Baringue allegedly drove to the United States while off duty to pick up the family member.
Late on Thursday, the New York Times came out with a story by Katie Glueck and Lisa Lerer that featured GOP operative Lyndsey Fifield making accusations against progressive darling and Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, including how “she said he regularly grabbed her by the shoulders — sometimes hard enough to leave marks — and, on one occasion, yanked her out of a cab by her wrist after an argument when she wanted to stay in the car.” However, on Friday, Fifield torched The Times in a series of X posts for what was not in the story, including more evidence for her accusations that she was “set up” because The Times did not include other women who were going to accuse Platner of sexual assault despite telling Fifield they were going to.
Not to nitpick, but you probably say these things everyday without realizing they are racist.
Stop saying them. Words matter. pic.twitter.com/3q3Q9uzk00

This is insane. But it's racist to deny a non-white person a driver's license for any reason now. So we're safe from racism but will probably be killed by an unqualified driver who can't speak or read English. Welcome to Canada, get me the hell out of here. @fancypants_s https://t.co/jvt7Q4hHBn

Cricket’s international governing body has suspended Canada over what it described as “serious breaches of its membership obligations”, dealing the latest blow to an organization that critics say has become a “laughing stock” within the sport.
The suspension also comes amid growing concerns that one of Canada’s fastest-growing sports is being influenced by members of a notorious gang that operates with impunity from an Indian prison cell.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) finalized the suspension at a meeting in Ahmedabad, India, on Sunday amid mounting concerns about the governance of Canada’s national cricket body. The decision follows the freezing of Cricket Canada’s funding in May after allegations that the organization lacked adequate governance systems and had failed to file audited financial statements.
A police force has been accused of threatening free speech after telling officers to record instances of “hostility” towards Muslims.
South Wales Police has instructed staff to log anything that goes beyond “legitimate” discussion of Islam.
Campaigners fear this subjective definition gives officers the power to decide what is acceptable behaviour and could have a “chilling effect” on free speech.
Mount Everest climbers were seen in a huge human traffic jam amid a record number of visitors to the major landmark.
Footage published on social media shows hundreds of people at a standstill slowly making their way up Hillary Step, a 40-foot vertical rock on the path of the mountain.
The caption of the video read: ‘Nearly 3 hours to cross this area due to congestion and difficult movement conditions at high altitude.
Traffic jam on May 21 at the Hillary Step on the Mount Everest path!
Nearly 3 hours to cross this area due to congestion and difficult movement conditions at high altitude 😳
Is this serious? Spending all this money on carriers and guides just to get stuck in a traffic jam!
