Knife-wielding mugger who committed three crimes in 36 hours bragged to cops he'd be freed each time because of NYC's woke cash bail law
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Agustin Garcia, 63, was arrested three times for robbery - once at knife point - within a 36-hour time span in New York City

  • He was released without bail and reportedly bragged to cops that he knew he'd be released because he didn't have a prior record

  • He was reportedly arrested for stealing beer, and robbed a woman at knifepoint when released, only to be jailed and let go once again

  • The district attorney's office said he was later jailed for stealing a phone

  • Under former governor Andrew Cuomo's controversial reform laws passed last year, bail can no longer be imposed on misdemeanors and non-violent felonies

  • A recent change to the law allowed judges to now set bail in misdemeanor cases, if the defendant has an open case involving harm to another person

Uganda loses its only international airport to China for failing to repay loan: Reports
[indiatoday] Uganda has lost its only international airport, the Entebbe International Airport, to China for failing to repay a loan, African media reported.

The government has failed to reverse a loan agreement with China which had repayment conditions for attaching its only airport.

In 2015, China’s Export-Import (EXIM) Bank lent Uganda $207 million at two per cent upon disbursement. The loan, meant for the expansion of Entebbe airport, came with a maturity period of 20 years including a seven-year grace period, News X reported.

However, as per international media reports, the Ugandan government waived off the clause for international immunity for securing the loan, following which the Chinese lender can retake possession of Entebbe International Airport without any international arbitration.

A statement from the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) reportedly suggested that some provisions in the Financing Agreement with China exposed Entebbe International Airport and other Ugandan assets to be attached and taken over by Chinese lenders upon arbitration in Beijing.

Last week, Ugandan Finance Minister Matia Kasaija had apologised to Parliament for "mishandling" the multi-million dollar loan.

According to the latest media reports, a delegation of Ugandan officials also visited China earlier this year in an attempt to renegotiate the clauses of the loan agreement. However, the visit was unsuccessful as the Chinese authorities refused to allow any alteration in the original terms of the deal.

Britain
Yorkshire blizzard strands pub goers at Tan Hill Inn
LONDON (AP) — Dozens of customers who stopped for a drink at Britain’s highest altitude pub got a longer stay than they bargained for, after the building was cut off by a blizzard.

Sixty-one people woke up Monday after their third night at the Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales, 270 miles (435 kilometers) north of London. They have been unable to leave since Friday, when a late autumn storm brought snow and heavy winds that felled power cables and blocked roads.

The pub sits 1,732 feet (528 meters) above sea level and is used to being cut off by bad weather.

Manager Nicola Townsend said staff had organized movies, a quiz night and karaoke for the stranded guests. They have also been entertained by an Oasis cover band, Noasis, who have also been stuck at the pub since their gig on Friday night.

Townsend said the guests were "in really good spirits."

"They’ve formed quite a friendship ... like a big family is the best way I can describe it," she said. "One lady actually said ’I don’t want to leave.’"

Townsend said she hoped people would be able to head home later Monday once roads had been cleared.

UK Government Bans Word ‘Christmas' to Avoid ‘Offending Minorities'
[NEON] Civil servants in the United Kingdom have banned the word "Christmas" from a proposed government campaign fearing it would offend minorities.British officials vetoed the use of "Christmas" from being used in a COVID testing drive which would be marketed at students.They argued the term risks offending minorities within the country."We have been advised by Cabinet Office that we should not use the word Christmas — as the Government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religions don’t celebrate Christmas," an email seen by The Mail on Sunday read."The other option was ’festive season,’ which keeps the emotional motivation."

Ukrainian journalist faces charges for demonstrating a howitzer firing
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RIA Novost] The State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) of Ukraine opened a criminal case against journalist Yuriy Butusov after he posted a video of shooting from a howitzer.

Butusov posted the video on the Internet on Saturday. He wrote that the footage was filmed a long time ago, but did not specify when and under what circumstances.

"Today, on the Day of Remembrance of Holodomor Victims, I must admit that I can probably be involved in the deaths of some people in Donbass - but only in the deaths <...> of the murderers of the Ukrainian people,” he signed the video.

The journalist also said that the security forces transmit exclusive information from the places of hostilities.

"Possible violations of office will also be checked by those who allowed a civilian to use the appropriate weapons," the RRB website says.

Butusov's actions will be checked under the articles "Violation of the rules for handling weapons, as well as with substances and objects that pose an increased danger to others" and "Planning, preparation, unleashing and waging an aggressive war."

According to the investigation, the incident took place outside the conflict zone in the southeast of the country, but the exact information will be made public "after a detailed check."

The actions of the journalist were condemned by the Ministry of Defense and the Kiev delegation in the trilateral contact group on Donbass.

The journalist himself considers this case to be revenge after an altercation with President Volodymyr Zelensky during a press marathon on Friday. Then the head of state said that Butusov worked for the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky and was offended because he did not receive a position in the Ministry of Defense.

In addition, the commander-in-chief accused Butusov of the deaths of people in the Donbass.

"The State Bureau of Investigation has just opened a case against me under article 437 -" Planning, preparing, unleashing and waging an aggressive war."

"I was the one who published the video from Bayraktar (Turkish drone. - Ed. note) and thus led to the death of our soldiers (whom, of course, I did not say)," Butusov said.

He believes that the video of the shot was used simply as "an excuse for escalation," although the caption says "it was a long time ago."

The journalist said that he was not going to leave the country and would stay in Ukraine. Eight years ago, he already went to the Maidan, Butusov added.

The State Duma wants to help denationalization of enterprises
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The adoption of the law on the "golden share" will serve to denationalize strategic enterprises. As a REGNUM correspondent reports, this was stated by the State Duma deputy from the SRZP Nikolai Novichkov .

:If we introduce this very "golden share" now, it means that we will give the government the opportunity to sell additional stakes, issue, thereby, in fact, to denationalize those very important enterprises for the state," Novichkov said.

In his opinion, the bill is pure craftiness.

"And when we adopt this law on the 'golden share,' we, the deputies, we, the parliament, will take responsibility, and the government will tell us:'You have decided.' Therefore, we will do what we think is necessary. I believe that the government does not need to be given such an opportunity, let it work in the legal system in which it is located,' the deputy said.

The State Duma in November in the first reading adopted a government bill, which proposes a new basis for the application of a special right - the so-called golden share - to participate in the management of a joint-stock company.

Photo Play: For the first time in modern history, the Black Sea Fleet ship received the St. George flag
Direct Translation via Google Translate. edited.
[REGNUM] For the first time in modern history, the ceremony of raising the St. George naval flag was held in Sevastopol on the large landing ship (BDK) "Azov" of the Black Sea Fleet.

The ship received the stern St. George naval flag in memory of the feat accomplished by the ship of the same name in 1827. Then the battleship "Azov" under the command of Captain 1st Rank Mikhail Lazarev in the Navarino battle entered into battle with five ships of the Turkish-Egyptian squadron and destroyed them.

The rite of consecration of the St. George naval flag was held in the Cathedral of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir - the tomb of admirals. After the consecration, the ceremony participants laid flowers at the graves of the admirals.

The stern flag was handed over to the captain of the ship to the ringing of bells, after which it was solemnly hoisted.

Great White North
Canada's indigenous health expert Carrie Bourassa loses job when ancestry claims prove false
[NYPOST] A Canadian medical researcher who rose to become the nation’s top voice on indigenous health has been ousted from her government job and her university professorship — after suspicious colleagues investigated her increasingly fanciful claims of Native American heritage and learned she was a fraud.

Carrie Bourassa, a public health expert who served as scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health, was suspended on Nov. 1, five days after the state-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published a lengthy expose on her background.

Far from being a member of the Métis nation, as she had long claimed, a laborious trace of Bourassa’s family tree revealed that her supposedly indigenous ancestors were in fact immigrant farmers who hailed from Russia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.

"It makes you feel a bit sick," said Janet Smylie, a Métis professor at the University of Toronto who worked with Bourassa on a book about indigenous parenting.

"To have an impostor who is speaking on behalf of Métis and indigenous people to the country about literally what it means to be Métis ... that’s very disturbing and upsetting and harmful."

Colleagues began to doubt Bourassa’s story as she began to add claims of Anishinaabe and Tlingit heritage to her tale — and took to dressing in stereotypically indigenous fashion.

It started to unravel in 2019, when she appeared in full tribal regalia — draped in an electric blue shawl, with a feather in her partially braided hair — to give a TEDx Talk at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

"My name is Morning Star Bear," she said tearfully as the crowd cheered.

"I’m Bear Clan. I’m Anishinaabe Métis from Treaty Four Territory," she proclaimed as she described an impoverished childhood beset by violence.

But colleagues at the university, where Bourassa held a professorship, smelled a rat.

"When I saw that TEDx, to be quite honest, I was repulsed by how hard she was working to pass herself off as indigenous," said Winona Wheeler, an associate professor of Indigenous studies at the college.

Wheeler, a documented member of Manitoba’s Fisher River Cree Nation, started digging into Bourassa’s genealogical records — and took her findings to the media.

But when pressed to provide evidence of Native American heritage, Bourassa suddenly changed her story — saying that she had been adopted into the Métis community by an unnamed Métis friend of her deceased grandfather, Clifford Laroque.

"Even though Clifford passed, those bonds are even deeper than death because the family has taken me as if I was their blood family," she insisted in a statement. "In turn, I serve the Métis community to the best of my ability."

The case is drawing comparisons to that of Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who claimed to be black as president of a local branch of the NAACP — and to Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren
The Great White Squaw, Lizzie is the Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts. She traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. She has high cheekbones that stretch all the way to the top of her head. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless
