Nice Cell Phone You Got There…

BBC- Thieves snatched his phone in London – it was in China a month later

He is just one victim of an estimated 78,000 “snatch thefts” in England and Wales in the year to March, a big increase on the previous 12 months.

The prosecution rate for this offence is very low – the police say they are targeting the criminals responsible but cannot “arrest their way out of the problem”. They also say manufacturers and tech firms have a bigger role to play.

Tax Me I’m Canadian

Toronto Star- Homeowners who regularly rent on Airbnb and other sites must pay 13% tax on property value when they sell, recent tax ruling finds

The 13 per cent tax will be applied to the total price paid for the property when sold, so could amount to tens — or even hundreds — of thousands of dollars.

While the sale of a previously occupied residential property is generally exempt from HST, the Tax Court of Canada ruled in March that the sale of a condo unit rented out on Airbnb for a number of short-term leases was subject to the tax.

Margin Of Fraud

Never let a crisis go to waste.

The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.

Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting. Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.

Kamala, When Are You Going to Publicly Apologize?

Kamala Harris and all other Leftists comparing Trump to Hitler owe a HUGE Apology to the Jewish people.

D Is For Desertion

Historically, a nation has about three years to win a war or at least demonstrate that victory is imminent. If they don’t, public support starts to wane dramatically. The window for success is closing for the Ukraine, and the cracks are already starting to show.

The Ukrainian prosecutor’s office has opened 51,000 cases of desertion through the first nine months of 2024. The number of soldiers abandoning their posts is likely to double last year’s total.

Kiev has struggled to fill its ranks with fresh soldiers, leading Ukraine to drop its conscription age from 27 to 25. As Kiev is still facing manpower shortages, American politicians are pushing Ukraine to drop draft age to 18.

Ukraine has also resorted to allowing prisoners to leave jail if they join the military

If Women Ran The World

Uh oh.

Public statements from leading Post personalities have been aghast…

Taibbi;

I’ve heard so many crazy things in the last weeks about behind-the-scenes maneuvering in Washington that it’s been tough to know what to believe, but it’s clear we’re headed for some kind of historic confrontation. I have trouble believing institutional America will really reverse course after eight years of dystopian lunacy, but Bezos and the Post just changed something, probably over the passionate objections of 98% of staff. Whatever’s going on, it sure isn’t boring.
