Hemet Woman Fatally Stabbed After Asking People Doing Drugs to Move Away From Home, Family Says
Cody Weems says his wife asked two people doing drugs outside their children’s bedroom window to move away from the home when she was attacked.
A 28-year-old mother of three was fatally stabbed Monday in a confrontation outside the family’s home in Hemet.
Shawna Weems was attacked at about 12:30 a.m. Monday after she confronted a man and woman who were doing drugs outside her children’s bedroom window, family members said. Her husband said she only asked the people to move away from her family’s home.
An argument ensued, and the woman pulled out a knife. Weems’ husband was on his way out of the house when he encountered a horrific scene.
“Just imagine if that was your wife or your daughter, and that got taken from you like that,” said husband Cody Weems. “How could you live with yourself with who you are? How could you stay out there like this without turning yourself in?”
Shawna Weems was stabbed several times. No arrests have been reported.
The attacker and a man left the scene on Gilbert Street in the Riverside County community in a silver truck that was pulling a recreational vehicle, Cody Weems said.

NCLA Asks the Supreme Court Not to Stay Injunction Against Government Social Media Censorship

The injunction in question, originating from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in the landmark case of Missouri v. Biden, prohibits officials from entities like the White House, the US Surgeon General’s office, the CDC, and the FBI from leveraging their influence over social media platforms to suppress constitutionally safeguarded speech. The Biden administration, unconvinced by the ruling, subsequently presented a request to the nation’s highest court for a stay on its enforcement.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s Dad Allegedly Had Advisory Role at Top Democratic ‘Dark Money Network’
Joseph Bankman, the father of troubled former crypto entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried, allegedly held an advisory role at a top Democratic dark money network, an arrangement a watchdog says “deserves serious scrutiny.”

FTX is seeking to recoup money to pay owed debts.

The walkout comes a day after their more senior colleagues, commonly known as consultants in Britain, began their third walkout.
While on strike, hospitals will provide minimal care similar to Christmas Day, when only emergency procedures are available and routine appointments or procedures are postponed or canceled.

EU Report Opens Door to Pull Britain Back Into Bloc
Brussels is not done with Britain. A new Franco-German plan would see the ever-expanding EU accepting “associate members,” and officials certainly view the UK as being on this list.
The proposal’s release coincided with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer’s meeting in Paris with Emmanual Macron. One Brussels diplomatic source was later cited in The Times saying the plan “had been crafted to appeal to a future Labour government.” Not that Sir Keir would need much persuading. The poster child for the Remainer side, Sir Keir has already pledged to forge closer ties with Brussels should he win the next election and has drafted a plan to stop illegal Channel crossings, which wholly relies on cooperation with the EU. Then again, Rishi Sunak’s government will hardly need much coaxing if it remains in power, given its own inability to spot a dud deal.

Ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Polish and Ukrainian relations have flourished — at least on the surface. However, below the surface, tensions have remained. Now, recent actions by Ukraine have led to a rapid series of events, including Poland announcing that it plans to withdraw military support from Ukraine, that threaten to have geopolitical consequences.
Ukraine’s decision to sue Poland in the World Trade Organization (WTO) over Poland’s grain embargo may have come as a shock to the Polish government, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s remarks at the U.N., in which he alleged that countries with a grain embargo — a clear dig at Poland — were aiding Russia’s Putin. The comments may have been the final straw.

One Day After Passage of Orwellian “Online Safety Bill, “ UK Home Office Attacks Private Messaging

This comes after the guise of concern for the well-being of regular folk — children in particular — that the government has pushed for a long time, and finally managed to pass, in the form of the draconian Online Safety Bill.

Poland Plans to Stop Sending Weapons to Ukraine
After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused some EU member states of helping Russian President Vladimir Putin with their grain embargoes — a clear reference to Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia — Poland has reacted with outrage, including withdrawing military support for Ukraine.
According to Polish news outlet TVP, Zelensky said that it was “alarming to see how some in Europe play out solidarity in a political theater — making a thriller from the grain. They may seem to play their own role but in fact, they are helping set the stage for a Moscow actor.”
Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland, Vasyl Zvarych, was summoned to the Polish Foreign Affairs Ministry to receive a note of protest from Poland regarding remarks made during the UN General Assembly. Although Zelensky did not specifically mention Poland, it was clear which countries he had alluded to.
Far more notable in terms of geopolitics, however, is the fact that Poland also announced it will withdraw military support for Ukraine to focus on rebuilding its own defenses.

Salvini to Take Austria Before European Court of Justice
The Italian government has announced that it will bring Austria before the European Court of Justice (ECJ) due to Tyrolean anti-transit measures. Lega chief Matteo Salvini, who serves as deputy prime minister and minister of infrastructure and transport, characterized border controls as an “act of violence and political arrogance.”
Salvini’s statements come after Chancellor Karl Nehamer (ÖVP), days ago during an interview with Kronen-Zeitung, confirmed that Austria would introduce border checks with Italy—a fellow member of the EU’s free-movement Schengen Area—in light of the massive number of illegal migrants who’ve arrived to Lampedusa in recent weeks.

Tech Optimists and Pessimists Battle it Out
Two camps emerged at this week’s conference on “‘Progress’ or Power: Decoding the Digital Future,” hosted by The European Conservative in the centre of Brussels—tech optimists and tech pessimists. These groups were distinct, but linked by an underlying commonality: an interest in what is best not for technology but for humanity. From this foundation, the speakers raised and examined fears surrounding the digital explosion in the EU and beyond, and considered new questions which conservatives ought now to be focussing on.

Fuel tourism is booming along the Polish-Czech border, with many Czechs crossing over to Poland to take advantage of significantly lower fuel prices.
“It’s sheer madness. The Czechs are buying everything in sight,” says Julia Adamiak, who works at an Orlen station near the Polish-Czech border in Kudowa-Zdroj. Reduced fuel prices in Poland are luring its southern neighbors.
Money.pl finance news outlets examined the price differences across the border. According to the report, as prices soar in neighboring countries, they are noticeably decreasing in Poland.

UK: Disabled Woman’s Tyres Deflated by Eco ‘Extinguishers’ Who Leave Sinister Note
A disabled woman’s tyres have deflated by eco-friendly “extinguishers” who left the woman a horrid and sinister note.
Sarah Louise took to Facebook to vent her fury at a note left from “The Tyre Extinguishers”, who called the woman a “gas guzzler”. Ms Louise was left late for work and had to repair two flat tyres because of the attack.
A nasty note was left also, with the disabled woman told to start “walking, cycling” or taking “public transport” instead. Sarah, who needs an SUV to get around comfortably, was left raging at the note.
A flood of comments supporting Sarah soon followed on a post where she revealed the note which had been left on her car. The nasty block of text labelled Sarah someone who has “no care” for the environment.

Volodymyr Zelensky Concedes: ‘Nobody Knows’ if Ukraine ‘Counteroffensive’ Will Work This Year
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave a basically upbeat assessment of Ukraine’s long-awaited “counteroffensive” against invading Russian forces but conceded “nobody knows” if there will be a major breakthrough this year in an interview with CNN on Tuesday.
Zelensky added that he thinks “we will have more success” in the coming year, following a slower-than-expected start for the big counteroffensive. As in several other recent interviews, he disputed criticism that Ukraine’s push has deteriorated into a stalemate, pointing to gains made by his forces in the east of the country.

Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson has quietly signed a $29million contract with a security firm to build migrant base camps, as residents plead with the city’s democratic leaders to stop letting asylum seekers in the state.
The city’s deal with the controversial Garda World firm, signed last week, includes at least six locations across the city, with zones holding between 200 and 1,400 asylum seekers. It also includes bedding, laundry, showers, three meals a day and security.
It comes as Chicago residents are becoming increasingly concerned about a surge of asylum seekers arriving on buses from southern states. Many of the migrants have been transported north from Republican border states in a bid to prove the Democrats’ open arms policies are a disaster.

The migrants who land on the beaches of the Italian island of Lampedusa in unprecedented numbers do not spend thousands of euros and risk their lives on small boats without good reason. They are convinced that once they make it to mainland Europe — and the Italian government takes care of their transport from an island too tiny for so many people — they are then sure they can stay forever, especially if they can reach France.
The EU-27 have a very bad record of executing their own deportation orders and, despite all the talk in Brussels about the need to coordinate efforts for more effective returns of migrants who have come illegally to Europe and are not entitled to asylum, things have been getting worse. In fact, only 21 percent of migrants slated for deportation were actually sent back to their country of origin in 2022.

German Police Threaten to Arrest Anyone Distributing Migrant Brawl Video
Knife violence and brawls among Germany’s growing migrant population have become commonplace in many German cities; however, police, at least in one city, are now threatening to pursue anyone who publishes a video of one such scene in the city center of Lübeck.
When the brawl first occurred in broad daylight, the Schleswig-Holstein police did not make any announcement about it or release a police report; however, when footage of the incident began to spread on social media, the police began to take notice and are now seeking to ban its distribution on social networks.
The video shows men kicking a young person’s head, while another migrant tosses a metal trash can at an elderly German pedestrian. The senior citizen, uninvolved with the brawl, tumbles to the ground next to him.

Germany has ‘hit the limit’ of the number of migrants the country can take, the country’s president Frank-Walter Steinmeier has warned.
Steinmeier said that the fact that a third of all migrants who reached the EU in the first six months of this year went through Germany first means the nation, ‘like Italy, is at the limit of its capabilities’.
His warning comes seven years after Steinmeier called for ‘open borders’ in a move that saw a million people enter Germany in 2015 and 2016.

Greg Abbott Reinstalls Razor Wire After Feds Removed it, Slams Biden for Border ‘Invasion’
On Wednesday, Texas governor Greg Abbott reiterated his declaration of an “invasion” at the southern border, as illegal migrants from all over the world continue to make their way into the United States at an unprecedented rate. He had originally written a letter to the Biden administration in November 2022 reminding officials that the federal government was responsible for safeguarding states against such incursions.
Instead of helping protect Texas from the influx of people, the Biden administration has prevented the state from securing the border, even going so far as to remove safeguards put in place to deter potential crossings.

Migration Debate Heats Up in Poland and Slovakia
“The stakes are enormous,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a news conference on Wednesday, September 20th, referring to the upcoming Polish parliamentary elections and the nationwide referendum, both to be held on October 15th. Morawiecki said the previous government, led by the centrist Civic Platform (PO), now the main opposition party, created poverty and unemployment, raised the retirement age, and sought to admit illegal migrants to Poland on a mass scale.
Conservative party Law and Justice (PiS)—in power since 2015—is seeking a third consecutive victory in parliamentary elections, and has made its opposition to illegal migration a central campaign theme. A referendum will be held on the same day as the election, and one of the questions will ask voters whether they “support the admission of thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa, in accordance with the forced relocation mechanism imposed by the European bureaucracy?”

“The smarter thing is to apply for asylum before you leave your country,” she added.

“Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country,” he wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country — you are valid and you are valued.”

Over a third of children placed on puberty blockers by Britain’s controversial Tavistock child gender clinic suffered mental health problems after taking the hormone-altering drugs, according to fresh analysis.
A new look at a 2011 study conducted by the University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and the Tavistock Centre’s Gender Identity Development Service — the UK’s only child gender transition clinic that is set to be shut down over safeguarding failures — has found that the mental health of 34 per cent of children placed on puberty-blocking drugs “reliably deteriorated”, while 37 per cent saw no difference, and 29 per cent “reliably improved” following the administering of the drugs.
