Pope Leo backs US bishops’ rejection of Trump’s policies

Pope Leo XIV said many immigrants in the US were being treated in a way “that is extremely disrespectful,” supporting a recent statement by US Bishops expressing concern about immigration raids.

Pope Leo XIV has supported the US Conference of Catholic Bishops rare statement on US immigration and urged the US government to “treat people humanely.”

The Bishops’ message leveled criticism of President Donald Trump’s policies of mass deportation and the “vilification” of immigrants. The US clergy spoke about the fear and anxiety that immigration raids have sown in communities. They also rejected the denial of care to migrants in detention centers.

I don’t think many support a Pope that roots for illegal alien criminals.

Family of Indian man lynched over beef rumours vows to keep fighting for justice

The family of a Muslim man, who was lynched by a Hindu mob in India’s Uttar Pradesh state in 2015, say they will continue fighting for justice after authorities recently moved to drop all charges against the accused.

Mohammad Akhlaq, then 50, was beaten to death after rumours spread that he had stored and consumed beef, a claim his family continues to deny.

Slaughter of cows is a sensitive issue in India as the animal is considered sacred by Hindus, who comprise 80% of the country’s 1.2 billion people. Uttar Pradesh is among the 20 states with strict laws banning cow slaughter and the sale and consumption of beef.

Terry Newman: Carney should mend relations with the U.S. before cozying up to China

Children’s AI Teddy Bear gave advice on sex and where to find knives

The gift of a teddy bear has always been thought a safe option for children. But parents could be forgiven for thinking that perhaps nothing is sacred after an AI-powered bear was only too happy to provide tips on where knives were kept and explain various sexual positions.

A group of researchers in the US and Canada tested three of the toys, including Curio’s Grok and Miko’s Miko 3. But it was the answers given by the Chinese-made Kumma teddy, retailing at $99, which provided the most worrying answers.

Ontario’s Ford Plans to Publicize Sex Offender Details, Ready to Use Notwithstanding Clause

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government is drafting legislation to publicize parts of the sex offender registry and that he will use the notwithstanding clause if the courts try to block it.

The government’s preliminary consultations are beginning on changes that Ford said will ensure children are protected from sex offenders by making sex offender registry information public. Ford’s announcement comes after an Oct. 31 Supreme Court of Canada decision that ruled mandatory minimum one-year sentences for child exploitation convictions are “unconstitutional.”

Ford said something kinda conservative, a scandal must be brewing.

Michelle Obama has just taken victimhood culture to bizarre new heights

In both Britain and America, statistics show that black people are significantly less likely than white people to be able to swim. This may seem peculiar. But thankfully, Michelle Obama, the former First Lady, is on hand to enlighten us.

You see, it’s all the fault of white people’s “beauty standards”.

“Let me explain something to white people,” she snapped, during a live event to promote her new book about her “style journey”, The Look. “Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. So when we straighten it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. That’s why so many of us can’t swim, and we run away from the water.”

Poland rail bombing signals Russian escalation against Nato

Thanks to the norms of inter-state combat which have governed much of history, we’ve long been conditioned to think of war and peace in binary terms. But what’s happening on Nato’s east shows us that it is in fact a spectrum, with Poland caught right in the grey zone at its midpoint.

This weekend, for the first time since the Second World War, a deliberate explosion damaged a railway line connecting Warsaw to Lublin in what Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called an “unprecedented act of sabotage”. Although Polish authorities have not yet named a specific culprit, they’re already stating the obvious — that “all traces lead to Russia.” That’s hardly surprising, given that the damaged rail line serves as a key pathway for shipping aid to Ukraine, and Russia has sent recruits to gather intelligence on Polish rail hubs near military bases and to disrupt train services using radio networks in the recent past.

Assuming it was Russia.
