YouTube video suggested food banks could provide a regular supply of 'free' food instead of for emergenciesA misconception about how Canadian food banks operate — combined with some misleading information on social media — has led to a sudden increase in usage among international students at London, Ont.'s food bank along with others in Canada. London Food Bank co-executive director Glen Pearson said his staff were already dealing with a 43 per cent increase in visits at the start of this school year when they began to notice a spike in food requests from post-secondary students.

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod brushed aside reporting that President Biden used colorful language to complain about his recent commentary about Biden’s reelection chances and political future. Politico’s Jonathan Martin, who has covered Biden for years, reported Monday that Biden referred to him as a “--‑‑‑” following Axelrod’s recent comments, citing a person who has heard Biden use the word on occasion in private. Axelrod, who is now a CNN contributor and political analyst, was asked about Martin’s reporting during an appearance on the network Monday.

[Catholic Caucus] Bishop Strickland: I was removed because forces in the Church want to change the teaching of JesusBishop Joseph Strickland has said that he believes he was removed because he “threatened some of the powers that be with the truth of the gospel.” In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen on November 11, just hours after his removal, Strickland said that “if you want it [the truth of the gospel] to change, then I’m a problem.” When Strickland was asked by Westen why he was removed from his position, he said: “The only answer I have to...

WASHINGTON — President Biden referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “president” at a Monday White House event honoring the Stanley Cup-winning Vegas Golden Knights. “Welcome to the White House, the 2023 Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights!” said Biden, who turns 81 on Nov. 20. “President Harris is here to make sure we do this the right way.” Biden has made the same error in at least six prior public appearances.

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) will face a primary challenge from former Minneapolis City Councilmember Don Samuels — the same individual she narrowly defeated in the last election cycle. Samuels made a name for himself in 2022 after coming within striking distance of unseating Omar as the party’s nominee. He lost by just over two percent of the vote, garnering 48.2 percent to Omar’s 50.3 percent — a difference of 2,466 votes. Samuels believes the “trajectory” of his campaign is “still intact.”

Calling Donald Trump a "fascist" is Joe Scarborough's stock in trade. He works it into his spiel almost as often as he brings up the fact that he once was a Congressman. But "fascist" apparently no longer suffices to express the depths of Joe's disdain for the Donald. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough declared that Trump has gone "full-on Hitler." Trump's sin was vowing to root out "vermin," his term for "radical-left thugs." That wasn't Scarborough's only verbal gaffe of the morning. Scarborough twice described--without having the guts to name--Trump's spokesman as a "fat, white, pink boy." Get the rest...

Nigel Farage is to launch a legal battle with NatWest over the closure of his accounts at its private bank subsidiary Coutts. The debanking scandal ultimately led to the resignation of Alison Rose, the chief executive of NatWest, in July and the departure of Peter Flavel, the chief executive of Coutts, soon after. The former leader of Ukip and the Brexit party said he is instructing lawyers to take action against NatWest, with the aim of turning it into a class action. An independent review into the decision to close Farage’s accounts found that although there were “serious failings” in...

So it’s been unsettling to find out the Avengers are Earth-bound, after all. “The Marvels,” the 33rd installment in the MCU and the sequel to 2019’s billion-dollar behemoth “Captain Marvel,” cratered with $47 million in North America and $63 million internationally — the lowest opening weekend in the franchise’s history. Before this weekend, the worst debut belonged to 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk” ($55.4 million, not adjusted for inflation), which premiered at the dawn of the MCU.

On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that some day he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Several years earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?

‘I’ve been a left-winger all my life. I don’t believe in violence. I always wanted co-existence,’ says the British-Israeli artist. ‘Even in our darkest hours, I told my children that in Gaza there were mothers like me, and children like them, and they are not the devil. Now I realise how naive I was. ‘There is still a part of me that wants peace, of course I do. But these monsters – Hamas – have to be defeated. And the world has to help us. ‘What they did happened once. It happened to us. But it could happen to you,...

Democrats would reportedly advise President Joe Biden to “heave” so-called “Bidenomics” into the “dumpster” after polling shows just 14 percent of voters say Biden has made them better off. The reported unsolicited advice signals infighting among Democrats and the president’s uphill battle to convince voters he deserves reelection. “Perhaps the most overwhelming economic messaging advice I picked up from Democrats was for him to heave ‘Bidenomics’ into the dumpster, “Politico’s Jonathan Martin wrote Monday after interviewing dozens of Democrats and never-Trump Republicans. The White House defines Bidenomcs with three pillars intended to cure “longstanding challenges that held America back—including rising...
