Didn't they let Gypsy Dildo, the Queen of Canada, speak at Ottawa parliament for LGBT rights under Trudeau? Can't find the video now.
In Liberal cities they give the addicts methadone and/or Hydromorphone for free. They use the free shit and still use street drugs. Or they sell the free stuff and buy street drugs. The problem is addiction and not keeping people in jail.
Why does she sound like she is related to Nancy Pooplosi? Might be related via alcoholism.
Whoever it was… definitely a failed experiment.
British law student was jailed in Dubai for 25 years after being caught with 50 grams of cocaine
A young British woman is in a 'living hell' after being jailed for 25 years in Dubai after being caught with a huge stash of cocaine, her mother has said.
Mia O'Brien, 23, of Huyton, Merseyside, has been given a life sentence after being caught with 50 grams of the Class A drugs in the Middle East in October.
The Liverpool University law student pleaded not guilty to drug offences in court but was convicted by a judge after just a day-long hearing on July 25.
Mia was also fined £100,000 by the court. The amount of cocaine she was found with - 50 grams- has an estimated street value of around £2,500 in the UK.
The pretty blonde is now languishing in a cell in Dubai Central Prison with six other inmates - mainly Nigerian criminals.
Her mother Danielle McKenna, 46, told the Daily Mail: 'She is absolutely devastated.
'Mia feels she has destroyed her life as she wanted to be a lawyer or solicitor.
'I speak to her but she can't say too much on the phone.

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles argues that Americans need to have more "compassion" for the homeless after homeless man, Decarlos Brown Jr., stabbed a woman in the throat.
Lyles appeared to come out against arresting homeless maniacs, arguing that "we will never arrest our way out" of these issues.
"We will never arrest our way out of issues such as homelessness and mental health…" Lyles said in her initial response after the brutal k*lling of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska.
"I want to be clear that I am not villainizing those who struggle with their mental health or those who are unhoused."
"Mental health disease is just that — a disease like any other that needs to be treated with the same compassion, diligence and commitment as cancer or heart disease…"
"Also, those who are unhoused are more frequently the victims of crimes and not the perpetrators. Too many people who are on the street need a safe place to sleep and wrap-around services to lift them up."
"We, as a community, must do better for those members of our community who need help and have no place to go."
Total lunatic.

Workers detained in Georgia ICE raid to be sent back to South Korea – Trump’s border czar says more such raids are coming
South Korean workers detained during a massive immigration raid in Georgia Thursday will be returned to South Korea on a chartered flight following negotiations, an official announced Sunday.
“Negotiations for the release of the detained workers have been concluded, after swift responses by the relevant ministries, business agencies, and companies,” said South Korean Presidential Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik.
“However, some administrative procedures remain, and once they’re completed, a chartered plane will depart to bring back our citizens,” he added.
The workers were among 475 detained Thursday during a large-scale immigration raid at the Hyundai Metaplant in Ellabell, Georgia, which houses an electric vehicle battery plant jointly operated by South Korea-based companies Hyundai and LG Energy Solution. About 300 of those detained are South Korean, officials said.
The operation was one of the most extensive immigration raids in recent US history and the largest so far of President Donald Trump’s crackdown at workspaces across the country.
And according to Trump’s border czar, more measures of this kind are on the way.
Tom Homan was asked Sunday by CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” whether there will be more extensive immigration raids, like the one at the Hyundai plant. “The short answer is yes, we’re going to do more work site enforcement operations,” he replied.
The South Korean government has been actively working to secure the workers’ release, along with the Korean Embassy in Washington, DC, and the Consulate General in Atlanta.
“To prevent a recurrence of similar cases, we will work together with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the companies concerned, to review and improve the visa system and stay status of people traveling to the US for investment projects,” Kang said Sunday.
“The government will ensure that all necessary measures are effectively implemented to achieve both the swift release of our detained citizens and the stable implementation of the investment projects.”
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung previously called for “all-out necessary measures” to support the detainees.
In a statement to CNN, a spokesperson for LG Energy Solution said the company was cooperating with the process: “We will commit our best efforts to ensure the safe and prompt return of our employees and those of our partners.”
CNN has reached out to the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Hyundai for comment.
In earlier statements to CNN, LG Energy Solution said its head of Human Resources was traveling to Georgia to aid in the release of detained South Korean nationals.
The company also said it was suspending most of its business trips to the US, “Currently traveling employees are advised to immediately return home or remain at their accommodations, considering their current work status,” a statement read.
“The ‘prompt release’ of the detained individuals is our top priority right now,” LG Energy Solution Chief Human Resources Officer Kim Ki-soo said in the statement.
A spokesperson for Hyundai said in a statement Friday: “Hyundai is committed to full compliance with all laws and regulations in every market where we operate. This includes employment verification requirements and immigration laws.”

Supreme Court allows Trump to fire FTC commissioner
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Donald Trump to fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission despite a federal law that is intended to restrict the White House’s power to control the agency.
The court, in an order issued by Chief Justice John Roberts, temporarily blocked a judge's ruling that reinstated Rebecca Kelly Slaughter while the case continues.
The order did not definitively signal how the court would address the Trump administrations emergency request to give the president broader authority to fire independent agency members without cause, but it signals that the court would most likely grant it.
Slaughter, who briefly returned to the agency as a result of the lower court rulings, said in a statement that she would "see this case through to the end" regardless of the court's decision to let Trump remove her while the litigation continues.
"In the week I was back at the FTC it became even more clear to me that we desperately need the transparency and accountability Congress intended to have at bipartisan independent agencies," she added.
Trump fired both Democratic commissioners on the five-person FTC in March, Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya. Both challenged the move, although Bedoya later dropped out of the case. Slaughter is currently listed as a serving commissioner on the agency’s website as the case has made its way through the courts.
The firings are a direct challenge to a 1935 Supreme Court precedent called Humphrey's Executor v. United States, which upheld limits on the president’s ability to fire FTC commissioners without cause, a restriction Congress imposed to protect the agency from political pressure.
Under the 1914 law that set up the agency, members can be removed only for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.”
A federal judge in July ruled in favor of Slaughter, citing the 1935 ruling. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reached a similar conclusion.
But the Supreme Court, whose majority has been skeptical of the concept of independent federal agencies that are not subject to presidential control, has undermined such protections in recent years in a series of cases involving other agencies.
Lawyers for the Trump administration argue that the removal restrictions unlawfully impose limits on the president's power to control the executive branch as defined by Article 2 of the Constitution.
This year, Trump has also sought to remove members of other independent federal agencies, which the Supreme Court has allowed.
The FTC has five commissioners who serve seven-year terms —with no more than three from one political party. Slaughter and Bedoya both served as Democratic members, although Trump originally appointed Bedoya in 2018. President Joe Biden reappointed her last year.

Supreme Court allows Trump to continue ‘roving’ ICE patrols in California
The Supreme Court on Monday backed President Donald Trump’s push to allow immigration enforcement officials to continue what critics describe as “roving patrols” in Southern California that lower courts said likely violated the Fourth Amendment.
The court did not offer an explanation for its decision, which came over a sharp dissent from the three liberal justices.
At issue were a series of incidents in which masked and heavily armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulled aside people who identify as Latino – including some US citizens – around Los Angeles to interrogate them about their immigration status. Lower courts found that ICE likely had not established the “reasonable suspicion” required to justify those stops.
The decision deals with seven counties in Southern California, but it has landed during a broader crackdown on immigration by the Trump administration – and officials are likely to read it as a tacit approval of similar practices elsewhere.
“This is a win for the safety of Californians and the rule of law,” said Tricia McLaughlin, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson. “DHS law enforcement will not be slowed down and will continue to arrest and remove the murderers, rapists, gang members, and other criminal illegal aliens.”
A US District Court in July ordered the Department of Homeland Security to discontinue the practice if the stops were based largely on a person’s apparent ethnicity, language or their presence at a particular location, such as a farm or bus stop. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld that decision, which applied only to seven California counties.
But the Supreme Court disagreed with that approach. Though the court did not provide any analysis explaining its decision, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a member of the conservative wing who sided with Trump, wrote in a concurrence that the factors the agents were considering “taken together can constitute at least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United States.”
“To be clear, apparent ethnicity alone cannot furnish reasonable suspicion; under this court’s case law regarding immigration stops, however, it can be a ‘relevant factor’ when considered along with other salient factors,” Kavanaugh wrote.
“Importantly,” Kavanaugh added, “reasonable suspicion means only that immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and inquire about immigration status.”
The order drew a fiery dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic justice to serve on the Supreme Court.
“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job,” Sotomayor wrote in a dissent joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. “Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.”
Sotomayor wrote in her dissent that the “on-the-ground reality” of immigration arrests cuts against the federal government’s fears that a court ruling could chill authorities’ ability to detain and deport undocumented migrants.
“The evidence in this case, however, reveals that the government is likely to continue relying solely on those four factors because that is what agents are currently authorized and instructed to do,” Sotomayor wrote.
Since a district court issued a ruling temporarily barring interrogations and arrests based only on a person’s apparent ethnicity, language or their presence at a particular location, members of the Trump administration have made clear they intend to proceed with their agenda as planned, the justice said.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “has called the District Judge an ‘idiot’ and vowed that ‘none of [the government’s] operations are going to change,’” Sotomayor wrote. “The CBP Chief Patrol Agent in the Central District has stated that his division will ‘turn and burn’ and ‘go even harder now,’ and has posted videos on social media touting his agents’ continued efforts ‘[c]hasing, cuffing, [and] deporting’ people at car washes.”
Referring to Kavanaugh’s concurrence, Sotomayor said that ICE agents aren’t just conducting brief or routine traffic stops. They are seizing both undocumented immigrants and US citizens “using firearms, physical violence, and warehouse detentions.”
The case was the latest of nearly two dozen emergency appeals the administration has filed at the Supreme Court since Trump began his second term in January. Many of those have dealt with Trump’s immigration policies.
US District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, in her earlier ruling siding against Trump in the case, said the administration was attempting to convince the court “in the face of a mountain of evidence” that none of the plaintiffs’ claims were true.
Frimpong, appointed by President Joe Biden, said in her ruling that the court needed to decide whether the plaintiffs could prove the Trump administration “is indeed conducting roving patrols without reasonable suspicion and denying access to lawyers.”
The American Civil Liberties Union also condemned the ruling.
“Today’s Supreme Court order puts people at grave risk, allowing federal agents in Southern California to target individuals because of their race, how they speak, the jobs they work, or just being at a bus stop or the car wash when ICE agents decide to raid a place,” said Cecillia Wang, national legal director of the ACLU, which was part of the legal team challenging the stops.
“For anyone perceived as Latino by an ICE agent,” she added, “this means living in a fearful ‘papers please’ regime, with risks of violent ICE arrests and detention.”
Kavanaugh used his 10-page concurrence to launch into a broader discussion about the debate around illegal immigration.
“To be sure, I recognize and fully appreciate that many (not all, but many) illegal immigrants come to the United States to escape poverty and the lack of freedom and opportunities in their home countries,” he wrote.
“But the fact remains that, under the laws passed by Congress and the president, they are acting illegally by remaining in the United States – at least unless Congress and the president choose some other legislative approach to legalize some or all of those individuals now illegally present in the country,” he added.
Sotomayor leaned into a growing criticism around how the Supreme Court has handled high-profile emergency cases dealing with Trump: That it has offered no explanation. The court itself offered only a single paragraph of boilerplate language in siding with Trump.
The sometimes-terse orders have been a topic of discussion for several justices who have appeared at events over the summer. Kagan said earlier this year that she thought the court could often provide further explanation in its emergency decisions. But Kavanaugh and others have noted that the court is sometimes hesitant to signal which way it’s leaning in a case.
“The court’s order is troubling for another reason: It is entirely unexplained,” Sotomayor wrote. “In the last eight months, this court’s appetite to circumvent the ordinary appellate process and weigh in on important issues has grown exponentially.”

Tranny Triumphs In France in Women's Chess Championship
WIM Yosha Iglesias had already made chess history by becoming the first transgender woman international master. Last weekend, the 37-year-old added another accomplishment by winning the French Women's Championship, as the second transgender woman to win a national title.
Thirty-seven-year-old Iglesias was only ranked seventh in the 16-player knockout event that took place in Vichy, France, but prevailed in the final by defeating WGM Mitra Hejazipour 1.5-0.5. She had previously knocked out WGM Maria Nepeina-Leconte 3.5-2.5, IM Pauline Guichard 1.5-0.5, and IM Anastasia Savina 1.5-0.5 in the semifinal.
"Nothing makes me happier than knowing my title might show young trans people that they don't have to choose between chess and transition," Iglesias told Chess.com. "I don't want them to suffer like I did during the many years I thought I had to reject my trans identity to continue playing the game I love."

Floating Oil Platform Arrives in Venezuela From China’s Concord Project
Venezuelan authorities reported Thursday that an oil platform, operated by China Concord Resources Corp (CCRC)—the first major infrastructure project to be installed in Lake Maracaibo in years—arrived in Venezuela.
Deputy Minister for Small and Medium-Sized Industry Roigar López reported the arrival of the oil facility on social media; however, the message was later deleted. Reuters also confirmed the information.
The US $1 billion CCRC-operated project in Venezuela installed the oil platform in the waters of Lake Maracaibo, the country’s second-largest crude oil production region.
The Alula platform, a self-elevating offshore platform, departed from the Chinese port of Zhoushan, passed under the Lake Maracaibo bridge, guided by a tugboat, and headed for its final location in Lagunillas.
The Asian country’s energy company is ramping up production at two key oil fields located in western Venezuela, Lago Cinco and Lagunillas, and estimates it will reach 60,000 barrels per day by the end of 2026, up from the current 12,000 bpd.
This project translates into a major economic boost for a private Chinese company in Venezuela. The platform is the first major infrastructure project to be installed in Lake Maracaibo in years. The United States initially imposed illegal sanctions on the Venezuelan oil industry in 2017. These began with financial restrictions; the US imposed broader restrictions more openly in 2019.
In 2024, CCRC began negotiating its stake in the oil fields with state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA) under a 20-year production-sharing contract. The company has deployed Chinese personnel specialized in oil field development, with the goal of quickly reopening approximately 100 wells. PDVSA has not commented yet on the development.
Lago Cinco and Lagunillas are expected to produce a mix of light and heavy oil, with light crude destined for PDVSA and heavier crude destined for China. The Maracaibo Basin region is known for having the best quality Venezuelan light crude oil.
State-owned PDVSA has stabilized oil production at around 1 million bpd this year. It is now aiming for the 2 million bpd mark in the coming months.
