There’s something creepy going on in Canada.

The Code of Appropriate Behaviour was adopted by Parliament’s Constitutional Affairs Committee last year but some members are unhappy that failure to sign up could see them overlooked for key political appointments. Hans-Olaf Henkel, a member of the eurosceptic European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group in Strasbourg, was enraged by the EU’s answer to the global #MeToo campaign, saying they did not need a code of conduct to know what was acceptable behaviour.
In a sarcastic group email to all MEPs he said: “Have you all become crazy? Continue reading “‘Are you all crazy?!’ German MEPs rage at ‘stupid’ new EU code ‘what a load of nonsense!’”

Federal immigration officials are force-feeding six immigrants through plastic nasal tubes during a hunger strike that’s gone on for a month inside a Texas detention facility, the Associated Press has learned.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says 11 detainees at the El Paso Processing Center have been refusing food, some for more than 30 days.

The Office of The Child Advocate, established in 2018 as an independent agency to oversee the Division of Children, Youth and Families, issued its first annual report recently.

SAN FRANCISCO — Despite a trade war between the United States and China and past admonishments from President Trump “to start building their damn computers and things in this country,” Apple is unlikely to bring its manufacturing closer to home.
A tiny screw illustrates why.
In 2012, Apple’s chief executive, Timothy D. Cook, went on prime-time television to announce that Apple would make a Mac computer in the United States. It would be the first Apple product in years to be manufactured by American workers, and the top-of-the-line Mac Pro would come with an unusual inscription: “Assembled in USA.”

On Monday evening in Houston, a dozen armed men broke into the home of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, a middle-aged couple who had lived in the house at 7815 Harding Street for at least two decades. The first man through the door, who was armed with a shotgun, used it to kill one of the couple’s dogs. Tuttle responded to the home invasion by grabbing a revolver and shooting the man with the shotgun, who collapsed on a sofa in the living room. As Nicholas tried to disarm the intruder, his accomplices shot her. Tuttle returned fire, and by the end of the shootout he and his wife were both dead. Four of the assailants were hit by gunfire, while a fifth injured his knee. Continue reading “The Cops Were the Aggressors in This Week’s Deadly Houston Drug Raid”
