Islamic Rules Could Get Dogs Banned From Classrooms In Maine’s Largest School District

The policy committee for Portland Public Schools in Maine is considering an “opt-in” policy for students interacting with dogs in classrooms, while also entertaining the possibility of barring non-service canines because of Islamic doctrine categorizing the animals as “impure,” video of a mid-October meeting revealed.

The discussion, first reported by The New England Signal, apparently arose because of a teacher’s proposal to “foster puppies in her classroom.” As outlined by Committee Chair Maya Lena, the program would involve “keeping a puppy in an enclosed playpen during the school day, with students periodically invited to read or play with it.”

When the Police Charged me for Picking up Roadkill I Knew English Freedom Had Died

When the Police Charged me for Picking up Roadkill I Knew English Freedom Had Died

England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland use the Common Law system, whereby unless something is explicitly prohibited, it is permissible. It is a sensible legal system, and has been inherited by various countries that had ties to England, including the United States. Most of the rest of Europe uses the Napoleonic legal code, or derivations of it. As the name might imply, it is the legal system of a dictatorship: nothing is permissible except where explicitly allowed. Unfortunately, in recent decades England has de facto transitioned by stealth from the Common Law system to the Napoleonic legal code.

The case for Fauci’s prison sentence

The case for Fauci’s prison sentence

Peter Navarro’s book, Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison, is important because it lays out the prosecutorial case against Anthony Stephen Fauci — against his arrogance, his mendacity, and his control of crucial levers within the “Medical-Industrial Complex.” More importantly, it is written by a man who sat across the pandemic table from Fauci, witnessed his lies firsthand, and now possesses Fauci’s own diary that exposes for all to see an ego whose size is only exceeded by the worldwide disaster his professional obsession with gain-of-function research helped spawn.

Are the Italian Bishops Promoting the Qur’an as the ‘Revealed Word of God’?

Are the Italian Bishops Promoting the Qur’an as the ‘Revealed Word of God’?

Vatican News, which describes itself as “the news portal of the Holy See,” ran the story in Italian: “Countering the walls of prejudice: CEI and PISAI present ‘Fact Sheets for Understanding Islam.’” CEI is the Italian Bishops’ Conference, and PISAI is the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies. So what we have here is the spectacle of the Vatican and the Italian bishops taking it upon themselves to teach the world about Islam. Don’t hold your breath waiting for al-Azhar to issue fact sheets for understanding Christianity, and that’s likely just as well. The Holy See’s Islam material looks to be as biased, misleading, and inaccurate as anything one can imagine coming out of al-Azhar about any non-Islamic Faith.

Are you a performative prepper?

Are you a performative prepper?

Forewarned is forearmed, so they say, but the Government has decided to do things in reverse. We are urged to prepare ourselves for disaster without being told much about the immediate foe. Whether the perpetrator is Putin, El Niňo, or Claude, the answer in every case seems to be three days’ worth of supplies and a wind-up torch. And vague advice seems to be contagious: France, Japan, and Australia have all just issued their own versions too.

Daily Mail finds child pornography in Thomas Markle’s Mexico storage unit: Explicit images and pedophilia magazines uncovered as we report him to the FBI

The Daily Mail has reported the Duchess of Sussex’s estranged father to the FBI after discovering a stash of child pornography in a storage unit he rented near his former home in Mexico.

Among the hoard, which includes books about pedophilia and magazines showing children being sexually abused, are several loose photographs of naked Asian females – who, in some cases, look conspicuously young.

The Daily Mail traveled to Rosarito Beach, Mexico, to look into Thomas Markle’s past life there. The publication was informed that a storage unit had been rented and abandoned by Markle.

Canada and Europe look beyond the US and China — but carefully

Canada and Europe look beyond the US and China — but carefully

MONTREAL — There’s one thing the European Union and Canada want to avoid with their new alliance: stoking new fury from Washington and Beijing.

Officials have been under pressure to check off everything they said they would do at the last summit and on Friday will unveil the areas they plan to focus on over the next year, as they intensify their transatlantic cooperation. But don’t expect a parade of new deals.

“Canada has objectives where they need our technology — so you can build a beautiful relationship if you focus on it,” one senior EU official told POLITICO about shared challenges in diversifying away from the U.S. and China. The official was granted anonymity to speak candidly about sensitive diplomatic negotiations between Brussels and Ottawa.

I’m an American who thinks Trump is destroying what our two countries share. I also think I know why he’s doing it

Ever since we fought side-by-side in both world wars, nearly all Americans have gotten along famously with Canadians, and vice versa. Not that long ago, almost 100 million of us travelled each year back and forth across our 5,525-mile border, the longest on earth, for jobs, trade, vacations or more permanent stays. But that number has fallen dramatically during the second Trump administration, when our president began treating Canada as an adversary, almost an enemy.

Police deployed during stand-off over control of top Poland court

Police deployed during stand-off over control of top Poland court

Riot police have been deployed at Poland’s Constitutional Court amid an escalating stand-off between the government and the court’s top judges.

The row pits the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk against his predecessors from the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS).

The police intervention came after Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek said he had requested stripping the court’s President Bogdan Święczkowski and Vice-President Bartłomiej Sochański of their immunity from prosecution to bring criminal charges against them.
