President Trump has appointed Dr. Ben Carson to be his National Faith Chairman to activate Christian voters to turn out and VOTE in November. In 2016, Dr. Carson was instrumental in convincing Christian leaders to get behind Trump.

The cost of furnishing flats for asylum seekers cannot be released because the issue is too “sensitive”, a watchdog has ruled. John Edwards, the Information Commissioner, has ruled in favour of the Home Office, which refused to reveal the cost of furnishing a block of flats to be used by 346 asylum seekers in Farnborough, Hampshire.

c. Alexandra:

Sydney Mayor, Clover Moore, likes to talk about ‘more bike lanes’ but what she never mentions is that George Street is now one long line of homeless encampments down toward Broadway – or the dozens of drug addicts and mentally unstable people verbally abusing pedestrians all day.

d. George:

After receiving a massive wave of public pressure, California Governor Gavin Newsom has just VETOED AB 1840, the bill approved by the state legislature to give up to $150,000 to illegal immigrants to buy homes Even a broken clock is right twice a day In his veto, Newsom said, “Given the finite funding available for CalHFA programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively. For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.”

Just 3 days to go before Keir Starmer releases 2,000 criminals early from prison. We currently have over 10,000 foreign nationals in our prisons that could be deported.

g. Pavel D:

Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram. This was surprising for several reasons: 1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram EU address for law enforcement”. 2. The French authorities had numerous ways to reach me to request assistance. As a French citizen, I was a frequent guest at the French consulate in Dubai. A while ago, when asked, I personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France. 3. If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself. Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed by third parties on the platform he manages is a simplistic approach. Building technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools.
