“The homeless are not who they used to be”.

“…our longtime listeners will remember that we talked when we were still living in Portland about the the the new injunction that we should all really be doing was carrying Narcan around because if we find someone who’s overdosed, what we need to do is bring them back to life. So to do what? To you know to overdose again and again and again and again like this is now our responsibility to simply keep those who cannot be bothered to try to keep themselves alive. And what about the rest of us who are actually trying to live productive and useful lives?”

If It Weren’t For Fake Hate

There’d be no hate at all.

The Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly paid at least three people who wanted to leave the white supremacist movement not to do so, according to the Justice Department’s superseding indictment handed down Tuesday.

A federal grand jury in April had indicted the SPLC on charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to conceal money laundering. The SPLC has pleaded not guilty to the charges. […]

The superseding indictment alleges that the “field sources” used the money from the Southern Poverty Law Center to grow extremist groups.

Field sources used the money to attend and host “extremist group rallies”; grow and create “new chapters of extremist groups”; recruit new members; donate to extremist group leaders; “purchase materials for cross burnings; purchase materials to make Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods”; and more.

One of the field sources, identified as “F-9,” reportedly had a romantic relationship with an SPLC employee. F-9 infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance and received $140,000 from the SPLC. F-9 shared bank accounts with the SPLC employee, who used the cash to pay for the couple’s personal living expenses.

Montreal Gazette;

The chief of cardiac surgery at the Jewish General Hospital has tendered his resignation and plans to move to Atlanta in September, citing rising antisemitism in Montreal and worsening problems with the province’s health-care system, The Gazette can reveal.

Dr. Emmanuel Moss, who has worked at the Jewish General for the past 10 years, has already informed his patients and his synagogue of his imminent move to the United States. Moss’s departure from Montreal marks the second high-profile Montreal Jew — after Concordia University professor Gad Saad — to decide this spring to quit the city amid a sharp increase in documented antisemitic incidents in the past three years.

During a May 12 appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Saad announced he accepted a post at the University of Mississippi, where he had already worked as a scholar during a two-year leave of absence from Concordia. He spoke of death threats he received while at Concordia, saying, “I’m now leaving in large part because it became difficult for me, if not impossible, to be a high-profile Jewish professor who supports the right of Israel to exist.” […]

Reached by phone, Moss declined to give an interview or to explain his reasons for leaving Montreal. But sources close to Moss confirmed that he and his family had grown disillusioned with growing antisemitism in Montreal and what they viewed as a failure by authorities to crack down on incidents of Jew hatred — from physical assaults on Jews to vandalism of Jewish-owned businesses and the firebombing of synagogue entrances, as well as the firing of bullets at a yeshiva.

Keir Starmer’s Britain

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and it’s important to remember the real victims in all of this.

A leading figure in the UK Sikh federation has told the BBC the community has been “demonised” after a university student was killed by a Sikh man using a religious knife.

Earlier this week, Vickrum Digwa was found guilty of murdering Henry Nowak after stabbing the Southampton University student with a ceremonial blade Sikhs are required by their faith to carry.

The bodycam footage of stabbing victim Henry Nowak’s arrest has been released.

Henry Nowak’s case is worse than you think – 60 of the 67 minutes which he spent dying in the street were in the custody of police officers. They broke basic rules of policing and PACE, denying him basic first aid and compassion because they falsely believed he was a racist.

New: A SEA of patriots just surged to the Southampton Police station after officers allowed Henry Nowak to be brutally KILLED right in front of them

“that doesn’t sound like something I would say.”

Don’t Let The Door Hit You…

As someone who could never stand Stephen Colbert’s overtly partisan, sanctimonious political cheerleading for more than a couple of seconds, I don’t think that any new void is being created by his departure; there was nothing but a void to begin with.

Among those sorry to see Colbert go is astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, a frequent guest. Johnny Carson used to book scientists, but Tyson notes wryly that not many TV hosts do these days.

Brehm saw Colbert make himself into a sort of moral authority and lean into the social justice camp of progressive Catholics: “He is playing up that moral quality by standing up for American moral values like freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and he’s doing it with a Catholic jargon, with Catholic language.”
