    And you don't see many people of African descent at the Ukrainian festival in Dauphin, either. We can celebrate our various cultures and honour the national culture of tolerance.

    What typically happens when you put more police in a given area, you get more arrests and fatter crime statistics which evokes the political response. "See? I told you". The crime rate usually dips a bit but ultimately returns to former rates. The increased arrests are usually of minor crimes.
  3. WHAT?!?!?! You mean what people do with their own naughty bits is not of world-shaking importance? Heresy, I say, heresy!

    Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin Is In Russia, President Of Belarus Says MINSK, Belarus (AP) — The mercenary leader who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin is in Russia and his troops are in their field camps, the president of Belarus said Thursday, raising new questions about the deal that ended the extraordinary challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s claim could not be independently verified, and the Kremlin refused to comment on Yevgeny Prigozhin’s whereabouts. But Russian media have reported he was recently seen at his offices in St. Petersburg. It was not clear if Prigozhin’s presence in Russia would violate the deal, which allowed the head of the Wagner Group military contractor to move to Belarus in exchange for ending the rebellion and a promise of amnesty for him and his troops. But the reports signaled that the agreement may have allowed him to finalize his affairs in Russia. If that’s true, it could suggest the threat posed by Prigozhin has not yet been fully defused and that the Kremlin is treading carefully with him until it can figure out what to do with troops who may still be loyal to him. Putin has said that Wagner troops can join the Russian military, retire from service or move to Belarus. But much about the the agreement, which was brokered by Lukashenko, remains murky.

    Trump Posted Obama's Purported Address, Prosecutors Say. An Armed Man Was Arrested There. WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform what he claimed was the home address of former President Barack Obama on the same day that a man with guns in his van was arrested near the property, federal prosecutors said Wednesday in revealing new details about the case. Taylor Taranto, 37, who prosecutors say participated in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, kept two firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside a van he had driven cross-country and had been living in, according to a Justice Department motion that seeks to keep him behind bars. On the day of his June 29 arrest, prosecutors said, Taranto reposted a Truth Social post from Trump containing what Trump claimed was Obama’s home address. In a post on Telegram, Taranto wrote: “We got these losers surrounded! See you in hell, Podesta’s and Obama’s.” That’s a reference to John Podesta, the former chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Democratic presidential campaign. Taranto also told followers on his YouTube live stream that he was looking to get a “good angle on a shot,” prosecutors said.

    Mistress Elvira can teach discipline.
  8. But while he was in, he looked almost........competent,
  9. Not necessarily. I have noticed that significant injuries seem to age players quickly and Bighill has had a few.
  10. Hmmmm....that's a Bomber O-lineman Szott to hell.
  11. I disagree, but the powers, both political and economic have committed such resources to muddle the truths that many of us feel hopeless as we are herded towards the edge of the cliff.
  12. Worse yet, it will be more dire for our children and grandchildren.
  13. Monday, July 3rd, 2023, was the hottest day ever recorded on Earth, The Guardian reported on Tuesday. "The average global temperature reached 17.01C (62.62F), surpassing the August 2016 record of 16.92C (62.46F), as heatwaves sizzled around the world," explained the British outlet, which compiled data from the United States National Centers for Environmental Prediction. The unprecedented warmth even affected the planet's polar regions. Retired professor Eliot Jacobson posted a ClimateReanalyzer.org graphic on Twitter showing "that temperatures above freezing" were "reaching all the way to the coast of Antarctica near the Thwaites glacier." Experts reiterated that the relentless burning of fossil fuels is fueling the disruptions to Earth's climate and that humanity's failure to cease emitting greenhouse gases will lead to a cascading series of crises. "People around the world are already enduring climate impacts, from heatwaves, wildfires, and air pollution to floods and extreme storms. Global warming is also exacerbating crop losses and the spread of infectious diseases, as well as migration," Global Climate and Health Alliance Executive Director Jeni Miller said, as quoted by The Guardian. "The extraction and use of coal, oil, and gas harm people's health, are the primary driver of warming and are incompatible with a healthy climate future. That's all the more reason that governments must prepare to deliver a commitment at Cop28 to phase out all fossil fuels, and a just transition to renewable energy for all." Climate scientist Friederike Otto of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at Britain's Imperial College London warned that an overheated Earth is "a death sentence for people and ecosystems."
  14. Meta To Launch Twitter Challenger App Threads The app will allow users to retain followers from photo-sharing platform Instagram, and keep the same username. (Reuters) -Meta Platforms plans to launch a Twitter-rivalling microblogging app called Threads, days after Twitter boss Elon Musk attracted criticism by announcing a temporary cap on how many posts users can read on the social media site. Threads is expected to be released on Thursday and will allow users to retain followers from photo-sharing platform Instagram, and keep the same username, a listing on Apple’s App Store showed. The rollout represents a direct challenge to Twitter, which has faced numerous controversies since Musk bought the company for $44 billion in 2022.

    Sweet, another mark on the russian dystopian hellscape bingo. Troops compacted into nice pallet sized blocks. Absolutely speechless.

    Soooo...would a 1% drop be noticeable?

    Apparently the highest body count in US history from mass shootings in the last 24 hours.
  20. The D-line pressure on Adams definitely looked to be the factor in his performance, but his decision-making wasn't great, either. Kelly looks to be the real thing, but we won't know until he has to deal with a carnivorous pass rush. He's not reluctant to run, though. That's why it would be great to have a healthy Kyrie Wilson back on the field.
  21. It was encouraging to see that the fans who were there seemed to be enjoying themselves. Winnipeg Blue Bombers sign Kerfalla Exumé following release from Montreal Alouettes.

    'Woke ideology': DeSantis vows to kill four federal agencies including one that manages US nuclear weapons Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, has declared he plans to eliminate several federal agencies if elected president, including the one that manages the U.S. Government’s nuclear weapons stockpile, is responsible for promoting worldwide nuclear safety, and reducing weapons of mass destruction. “Are you in favor of eliminating any agencies? I know conservatives in the past have talked about closing the Department of Education, would you do that?” DeSantis was asked by Fox News’ Martha McCallum on Wednesday. “So we would do Education, we would do Commerce, we’d do Energy, and we would do IRS,” said the Florida governor, naming the federal agencies he will close if elected to the White House. The Florida governor currently has similar agencies within his administration that he has not attempted to eliminate. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is part of the Dept. of Energy, which DeSantis says he will eliminate. It is “responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science.” https://www.alternet.org/desantis-vows-kill-federal-agencies/
