British police officer Lorne Castle was fired for not treating a teenager who (allegedly) assaulted an elderly man with “courtesy and respect.” Not kidding. Castle is appealing the verdict. What transpired? A gang wielding knives got into a brawl with another gang near a McDonald's, and Constable Castle attempted to arrest the masked 15-year-old who was involved in the fight -- and who allegedly assaulted the elderly man and another person. The cop tackled the teen, who then began yelling as a knife fell out of his pocket. Castle subsequently instructed the perpetrator to “stop screaming like a b*tch” and...

(Kitco News) – Italy is considering a one-off levy for households to declare gold that is being held off the books – a move that could raise over 2 billion euros, or $2.3 billion, according to an amendment to the 2026 budget seen by Reuters. The proposal would allow individuals to pay a one-time tax of 12.5% to certify the market value of their bullion, gold jewelry, and collectible coins for which purchase records are missing – the same rate levied on government bonds. Under the proposal, the certification must be done by June 2026. Under current rules, the lack...

A senior conservative legal scholar who holds one of Princeton University’s top academic chairs has resigned from the Heritage Foundation’s board in protest of the think tank president’s defense of Tucker Carlson’s interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

The Palestinian flag was raised this morning at Toronto City Hall despite fierce grassroots and institutional political resistance.

Others took smiling selfies with it fluttering in the background. Attendees...

President Donald Trump's sudden pivot on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files was not an impulsive gamble but a tactical move to end a months-long drama that has consumed the White House and Congress. In a sudden shift, Trump said Sunday night that 'House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files.' But White House insiders have told the Daily Mail that the move by Trump wasn't a U-turn, but a calculated move to expose senior Democrats and his critics who had links to Epstein. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday: 'We have nothing to do with Epstein....

Nov 18 (Reuters) - Hamas rejected the United Nations Security Council passing a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan, saying it fails to meet Palestinians' rights and demands and seeks to impose an international trusteeship on the enclave that Palestinians and resistance factions oppose. "Assigning the international force with tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of its neutrality, and turns it into a party to the conflict in favor of the occupation," the group added.
