UWS stabbing suspect’s mom cries out in court, prosecutors reveal son yelled ‘Allahu Akbar’ 3 times during alleged hate-filled rampage

The mother of the maniac accused of knifing a Jewish and Asian man in separate attacks on Upper West Side cried out in court Friday as new details were revealed about her son’s alleged hate-filled rampage.

Raul Morales, 51, looked back into the courtroom gallery and mouthed “I love you, mom” after a judge held him without bail for Thursday’s bloodshed during which he yelled ‘‘Allahu Akbar” three times, according to prosecutors.

His mom, who said “Raul, I’m here,” then buried her head in her hands and wept as her son was ushered out of the courtroom.

Trudeau’s cannabis revolution turns Belgium into narco state

Trudeau’s cannabis revolution turns Belgium into narco state

Legally grown cannabis is flooding into Europe from Canada, enriching criminal gangs and helping turn Belgium into a “narco state”.

Farms legalised under Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada, are supplying smugglers with high-strength marijuana to be shipped into some of the Continent’s major ports, a Telegraph investigation has found.

Record quantities of cannabis are flooding into the port of Antwerp in Belgium, with customs seizing 32 tons of cannabis in the last year alone – a 500 per cent increase from 2024.

Iran-backed Houthis claim missile attack on Saudi Arabia

The Iranian-backed Houthis have claimed a missile attack on Saudi Arabia, after Riyadh launched strikes on targets linked to the group on Friday.

Early on Saturday, the Houthis’ Ansarollah media said on Telegram that a “Yemeni missile strike” had caused fires in the Saudi city of Jizan. Saudi authorities had issued emergency alerts for the province.

The group had vowed retaliation after Saudi Arabia launched air strikes on Houthi targets in the Yemeni port city of Hodeida and a nearby island on Friday.

Judges Recognise Anti-White Racism in French Teen’s Murder

Judges Recognise Anti-White Racism in French Teen’s Murder

French investigating judges have added racism as an aggravating circumstance to the cases against all the suspects formally investigated over the 2023 killing of 16-year-old Thomas Perotto.

The decision, announced on Thursday, July 23rd, comes more than two and a half years after the fatal attack at the village’s winter dance in Crépol, in south-eastern France.

According to a source close to the investigation, the judges amended the charges after considering around 10 witness statements reporting remarks hostile to white people at the end of the dance, including: “We’re here to stab white people.”

Stupid Shit Andrew Coyne Says: “Canadian conservatives have a patriotism problem”

Stupid Shit Andrew Coyne Says: “Canadian conservatives have a patriotism problem”

Does Canadian conservatism have a problem with patriotism? Do some conservatives feel a greater loyalty to their ideology than their country?

Does this lead them to side with Donald Trump and the United States against Canada, in a dispute that turns in part on whether Canada should exist as a country, separate from the United States? Does it also lead them to favour the separatist side in the coming referendum in Alberta, which is also about whether the country should exist in its current form?


What’s “patriotic” about allowing the Liberal party and their corporate cronies to swamp the nation with cheap foreign labour cheating your compatriots out of wages, housing and healthcare?

What’s “patriotic” about being ruled by a Laurentian elite that would surrender us to Communist China for a few pieces of silver?

What’s “patriotic” about the Liberal Party’s determined effort to criminalize dissent?

What’s “patriotic” about knee-jerk anti-Americanism that threatens our relationship with our closest ally?

I could go on …

BBC trying to prove Trump caused Jan 6 riots

BBC trying to prove Trump caused Jan 6 riots

The BBC has demanded that Donald Trump hand over his personal messages in an attempt to prove that he incited the Jan 6 riots.

In a fightback against the US president’s $10bn (£7.5bn) defamation lawsuit, the broadcaster’s lawyers hope to prove in court that he should be held responsible for urging his supporters to storm the US Capitol.

Last year The Telegraph revealed that a speech given by Mr Trump on Jan 6 2021 was spliced together in a Panorama documentary that made it appear as if he was directly inciting the mob in protest against the election result.

Carney aims to reverse $1 trillion in foreign capital flight over 2 days in September

Over two days in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney will try to stanch $1 trillion of foreign investment flight over the last decade.

You can’t fault the man for lack of ambition.

Carney is presiding over what he’s calling the Canada Investment Summit — a gathering of international business leaders, CEOs and institutional investors aimed at recouping the losses over the next five years.

They’re Not Rape Gangs…

They’re Not Rape Gangs…

Of course there was a cover-up. Of course it continues—witness the deafening silence of the legacy media in response to Rupert Lowe’s crowdfunded Rape Gang Inquiry, a silence identical to that which greeted every earlier report of the sexual atrocity now seemingly integral to multicultural Britain.

How could it possibly be otherwise?

Colby Cosh: Why Mark Carney felt comfortable spreading misinformation

Colby Cosh: Why Mark Carney felt comfortable spreading misinformation

Readers of the Post will notice a careful, measured column Thursday morning that discusses the U.S. government’s last-minute shakedown of Canada over the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting the two countries; the bridge is scheduled to open Monday. Columnist Rob Breakenridge stops just short of calling the prime minister a liar, but asks why he was “making claims about the deal” just a few days ago “that would inevitably be disproven and discredited” when the details came out, as they did on Wednesday?

Canada-EU: Closer trade ties to counter Trump?

Canada-EU: Closer trade ties to counter Trump?

The latest salvo in US President Donald Trump’s freewheeling trade war could have disastrous effects for Canadian business. But the new tariff threats may also open up trade opportunities elsewhere, with China and the EU in a strong position to benefit.

Trump’s planned 50% tariff on a range of imported goods ranges from wine to hockey sticks but does not include other key sectors such as energy, potash and fish.

It is expected to impact about 5%, or $20 billion (€17.5 billion) worth, of goods and “the impact could be devastating for the people in businesses involved,” Julian Karaguesian, an economics lecturer from Canada’s McGill University, told DW.
