According to the Daily Mail:

A migrant who raped a sleeping woman has won a bid to stay in the UK after arguing his life would be in danger if he was deported to Jamaica because he is ‘bisexual’.

The 41-year-old claimed he didn’t know that having sex with a woman who is sleeping was wrong.

Who would have guessed that claiming ignorance when it comes to the criminality of rape was a successful defense strategy?

One would think at least certain laws, like rape and assault, would be the minimum when it comes to deportation but that is not the current state of affairs, so long as you claim to have a certain sexual preference. […]

Dr Peter McCullough has drawn attention to the trials in a recent post on his Substack page.

The trials are taking place at two university medical centers in the Netherlands, and the first results have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

“It seems as if the world of vaccinology has ramped up to a feverish pitch with amplified research, massive funding, and no limit to the extent in which vaccines could be injected into humans,” McCullough wrote.

Researchers have called the trials “promising,” but others warn that the practice carries serious risks. Current vaccines for malaria have limited efficacy, wearing off after a short period of time, and offer little protection in areas where the parasite is endemic. […]

Zelenskyy instructed his government to prepare 150 firefighters for “possible participation” in taming the Los Angeles fires, he announced on X Sunday. As of Monday, the fires have only been partially contained, claiming the lives of 24 people and scorching of over 37,000 acres of land, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE).

“Today, I instructed Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs and our diplomats to prepare for the possible participation of our rescuers in combating the wildfires in California,” Zelenskyy announced on X. “The situation there is extremely difficult, and Ukrainians can help Americans save lives. This is currently being coordinated, and we have offered our assistance to the American side through the relevant channels. 150 of our firefighters are already prepared.”

None of the three major fires have been fully contained, with the Palisades fire only 14% contained, the Eaton fire 30% contained and the Hurst fire 89% contained as of Jan. 13, according to CAL FIRE. Additionally, some criminals are taking advantage of the chaos to loot houses, prompting Newsom to deploy the National Guard Jan. 9, according to a press release.

The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) donated fire fighting equipment to Ukraine in 2022, which drew the ire of critics online, including President-elect Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr. The U.S. also funds the salaries of first responders in Ukraine on top of military aid for its war with Russia, according to Ukraine Oversight.

The U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Office of Chief Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility, in tandem with the State Department, notified Congress just before Christmas that it earmarked the money for several programs that will support “marginalized” and “underrepresented groups” in Indonesia, Guatemala, and Kenya. Part of the spending will see USAID “engage with Indigenous-led institutions to implement an Indigenous language technology program” in Guatemala, where nearly 95 percent of residents speak Spanish.

The funding initiatives reflect a broader effort from outgoing secretary of state Antony Blinken to embed a host of DEI initiatives at home and abroad ahead of Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration.

Just before the State Department finalized the $1 million funding package, for example, Blinken issued an internal diplomatic cable touting sweeping DEI initiatives across the agency, including dedicated “reflection rooms” and “all-gender restrooms” at American embassies abroad, the Free Beacon reported in December. The incoming GOP administration has already pledged to eradicate DEI programming across the federal government.

In the case of the Guatemalan “Indigenous language technology program,” USAID is partnering with “local universities to develop a short translation and interpretation training focused to Indigenous professionals.” The taxpayer cash, the State Department maintains, will help the country “ensure services are provided using local Indigenous languages.” […]

“I think I would have beaten Trump, could have beaten Trump,” Biden insisted.

Asked about a future Kamala campaign, Biden said that she was “competent to run again in four years” which may be overstating it, but offered no firmer endorsement than that. Blowing through a fortune to lose badly is hardly “competent to run again”, but it’s about as little as he could get away with here.

Despite the pretense otherwise, this was a coup, and there are few signs that Biden and Kamala have a good relationship going forward. After being warned, Biden chose to pick her, and got stabbed in the back, but then again there was plenty of stabbings to go around. Biden had assured his party and the country that he only meant to be a one-term president. He mused at his exit interview that “I also wasn’t looking to be president when I was 85 years old, 86 years old” so was he running for a half-term in office?

Biden did announce that after leaving office, he was “not going to be out of sight or out of mind.” […]

“I grew up hunting and my parents hunt, my grandparents hunt,” Preston told television station WCAX. “I’ve been hunting since I was eight, it’s when I passed my hunter safety scores. I’ve gone to several different courses, I shoot at ranges, I like shooting. That’s what I like doing.”

But when the student at Mill River Union High School submitted the professional photograph, school leaders rejected the portrait.

“I just think that senior pictures are supposed to be showing what you enjoy doing, so I tried to do that in mine,” the teenager said.

Television station WCAX reports that the rifle violated a school policy banning images of guns and specifically depictions of gun. […]

It began, “Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operators claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings to CNN.”

The entire article, which we have linked here, sounds very official, as if investigative work went into it.

One paragraph says, “The classified briefing last week was represented by four of the senior most senior US intelligence chiefs – director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA director Admiral Mike Rogers. Allegedly, they told the president-elect about this because such allegations involving him are circulating among intelligence agencies, senior members of Congress and other government officials in Washington, multiple sources, Tennessee, CNN.

One paragraph stepped it up so Congress would demand to see it:

Sources tell CNN that these same allegations about communications between the Trump campaign and the Russians, mentioned in classified briefings for congressional leaders last year, prompted then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid to send a letter to FBI Director Comey in October, in which he wrote, “It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government – a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States.” […]

Fire Chief Kristin Crowley earned national acclaim for being the first female and first LGBT fire chief in the history of the LAFD. She also earned accolades for making diversity, equity and inclusion her top issue. She wanted to hire more LGBT and female firefighters.

And yet not a person who was rescued in the blazing infernos that engulfed Pacific Palisades requested a LGBT firefighter. They wanted the strongest, most capable firefighters to pull them out of the danger zone.

Regardless, the International Association of Fire Chiefs has been quietly promoting diversity for more than a decade.

Libs of TikTok recently uncovered the agency’s “inclusive language” guide — instructing chiefs to not use terms like “fireman” because the word is not gender inclusive. Instead, they are supposed to be called fire officers. […]

Private fire protection companies often contract with state and local governments to help battle wildfires, but in recent years California’s fire firms have begun offering “on call” services, ready to to show up with their own water supplies, trucks, hoses, fire-quenching chemicals, and other industrial-grade equipment.

But these heroes-for-hire come with a hefty price tag, with some outfits charging $2,000 an hour for their services, the Daily Mail reported.

Chris Dunn, owner of Covered 6, told that outlet his phone has been “ringing off the hook” as the Hollywood elite jockey for his bespoke services.

A reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle observed one home outfitted with water sprayers continually drenching the roof as specials stood by all night, watching for flare-ups. […]
