3 of Palestinian Descent Shot Near University of Vermont
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Three men of Palestinian descent were shot Saturday by the University of Vermont in Burlington, police say.
The shooting happened Saturday just before 6:30 p.m., Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad said, according to The Associated Press. Murad said that investigators are searching for the shooter.
Each of the victims is 20 years old. Police say, according to WPTZ, that two are in stable condition and one has serious injuries.
Investigators say that preliminary information determined that the three were visiting a relative’s house in Burlington for Thanksgiving. They were walking on Prospect Street when they came face to face with a man with a handgun. The man fled the area after the shooting, according to the news station.
All three victims are of Palestinian descent. According to WPTZ, two are United States citizens and the other is a legal resident.
The motive is unclear. The names of the victims have not been released.
The FBI, according to CNN, said they were “prepared to investigate” the shooting.
“If, in the course of the local investigation, information comes to light of a potential federal violation, the FBI is prepared to investigate,” Sarah Ruane, an FBI spokesperson based in Albany, New York, said in a statement obtained by the AP.
The White House said, according to the AP, that President Biden has been briefed on the shooting.

But members of the Free Speech Alliance, and those supporting it are not buying this pitch, summing up and denouncing NewsGuard instead as an ideologically-motivated “internet traffic cop.”

Antifa and Anti-Israel Activists Block Montreal Highway and Entrance to Weapons Company
Early this morning in Montreal, Quebec, far-left activists involved in the Palestinian movement coordinated with a violent organization, Antifa, to take over a six-lane highway and block entry and exit to Lockheed Martin and Bombardier.
“Stand up, fight back!” they chanted with glee, the popular slogan used by so called “Anti-facists” who employ violence against journalists and peaceful protesters.
Many could be seen donning full ‘blac-bloc’ attire, used by the organization to commit crimes without easily being identified by police and their victims for legal repercussions and justice.

King Charles III has been accused of using ancient feudal laws to nab tens of millions of dollars intended for charity from the deaths of thousands of Brits to upgrade his real estate empire, according to a bombshell report from the Guardian this week.

In the past 10 years, the monarch has reportedly collected more than $75 million in the funds — despite pledges to donate all proceeds to charity.
However, documents obtained by the Guardian from The Duchy of Lancaster, Charles’ extensive land and property estate he inherited from the late Elizabeth II, reveal that the money is secretly being used to renovate the properties that he rents out for profit.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday visited his troops in northern Gaza — and took a “tour” of Hamas’ terror tunnels — for the first time since the war began.
Arriving on the third day of a temporary cease-fire in the Palestinian enclave, Netanyahu reaffirmed his nation’s commitment to freeing the hostages being held in Gaza while vowing to eradicate the terror group.
“We have three goals for this war: eliminating Hamas, returning all our hostages and ensuring that Gaza does not become a threat to the State of Israel again,” Netanyahu said, according to video released by his office. “We will continue until the end, until victory.

Thirty Years Ago Israel Deported Hamas. Clinton Made Israel Take it Back
by Daniel Greenfield
“Deporting The Hope For Peace?” Newsweek asked. The hope for peace was Hamas.
The year was 1992. The Clinton administration was trying to get Israeli Prime Minister Rabin and the PLO’s Yasser Arafat to sign on the dotted line of the Oslo Accords to create a terror state inside Israel. In the name of peace. Unfortunately Hamas kept killing Israelis.
15-year-old Helena Rapp had been stabbed to death at a bus stop on the way to school. A few days later, Rabbi Shimon Biran, a father of four, was similarly murdered by an Islamic terrorist.
Fed up with the latest killings, Prime Minister Rabin put 417 Islamists terrorists on buses and dumped them in Lebanon. The monsters he deported included top Hamas terror leaders.
On the six buses were current Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh, Hamas co-founder Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, who would vow, “by Allah, we will not leave one Jew in Palestine”, Abu Osama, who helped draft the Hamas charter calling for the extermination of the Jews, Hamas co-founders Mohammed Taha, Hammad Al-Hasanat, and Mahmoud Zahar, who threatened “They have legitimized the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people”, Hamad Al-Bitawi, who proclaimed that “Jihad is a collective duty” along with Abdullah al-Shami, the head of Islamic Jihad, and many other present and future Islamic terror leaders deported to Lebanon.
The New York Times headlined its coverage, “Ousted Arabs Shiver and Wait in Lebanese Limbo”. Newsweek also sympathetically described how the Hamas terrorists were “shivering in the cold.” The Washington Post lingered on their handcuff “welts”. The Associated Press provided detailed coverage of their cases of diarrhea turning the bowel movements of Islamist terrorists into an item worthy of international coverage.
In reality the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists had been equipped by Israel with raincoats, blankets, food and $50 each: more than enough to buy whatever they needed in Lebanon…

Russia Says it Downed Dozens of Ukrainian Drones Headed for Moscow After Its Strike on Kyiv
Ukraine overnight tried to attack Moscow with dozens of drones, Russian authorities said Sunday, just a day after Ukrainian officials reported that Russia had launched its most intense drone attack on Kyiv since the beginning of its full-scale war in 2022.
Russian air defenses brought down at least 24 drones over the Moscow region — which surrounds but does not include the capital — and four other provinces to the south and west, the Russian Defense Ministry and Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported in a series of Telegram updates. Neither referenced any casualties.
Andrei Vorobyev, governor of the Moscow region, wrote on Telegram that the drone strikes damaged three unspecified buildings there, adding that no one was hurt.
One drone crashed into a 12-story apartment block in the western Russian city of Tula, about 180 kilometers (113 miles) south of Moscow, lightly wounding one resident and causing limited damage, local Gov. Aleksei Dyumin wrote on Telegram on Sunday morning.
Moscow’s Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports also briefly shut down because of the drone attack, according to Russia’s state-run news agency Tass. Both appeared to have resumed normal operation by 6 a.m. local time, according to data from international flight tracking portals.
Russian Telegram channels speculated that Ukrainian forces had deployed a previously unseen type of drone in the purported strike, pointing out some similarities to the Iranian-made weapons Moscow routinely employs in its attacks on Ukraine.

Ukraine is “Criminalising Legitimate Religious Debate”: An Interview With Bob Amsterdam
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which was previously affiliated with the Patriarchate of Moscow, has been under intense pressure from the Ukrainian government headed by President Volodymyr Zelensky, as the government has accused the church of having ties to the Russian government following the February 2022 invasion.
Despite the fact that the UOC cut ties with Moscow and its Patriarch Kirill in May 2022, Zelensky’s government has raided churches, arrested priests and other clergy, and in October, the Ukrainian Parliament proposed outlawing the OUC entirely.
The European Conservative spoke to Bob Amsterdam, the lawyer representing the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, who is leading the church’s international response against the proposal to ban the church’s activities in Ukraine. He is the founder of Amsterdam & Partners LLP, a boutique international law firm with offices in London and Washington, DC. He has extensive experience in the region, having been arrested by Vladimir Putin in Moscow and having defended Ilya Ponomarev, an exiled Russian State Duma Deputy who was subsequently granted Ukrainian citizenship and is now fighting against Russia as part of Ukraine’s Territorial Defense Forces.

WHO Calls on China to Bring Back Lockdowns to Tackle Mystery Outbreak
The World Health Organization (WHO) is calling on Communist China to bring back lockdowns and other Covid-era restrictions to tackle a new outbreak of a mystery respiratory illness.
The WHO is pressuring the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to reinstate mask-wearing and social distancing, and issue stay-at-home orders for the public.
The timing of the outbreak is eerily reminiscent of Covid, which first emerged in China this time in 2019, just under one year out from the 2020 election.

Argentina’s President-Elect Javier Milei Affirms Central Bank Closure as ‘Non-Negotiable’
Argentina’s President-elect Javier Milei reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to closing the country’s central bank, countering what he termed “false rumors” about his intentions. In a statement released via social media, Milei, known for his libertarian economic views, emphasized that the closure is a “non-negotiable matter.”
As Milei prepares to assume office on December 10, there are indications that he is opting for a somewhat more moderate cabinet than initially anticipated. This shift in strategy is evident in his selection of economist Osvaldo Giordano, from the central Cordoba region, to head ANSES, Argentina’s social security administration. This choice marks a departure from Milei’s earlier plan to appoint a close ally for the position, reflecting a potential move towards a more balanced approach to governance.

After Shock Migration Figures, Over Half of Britons Support Five Year Pause on All New Arrivals
The British public are considerably more conservative than the ruling Conservative party on the question of migration, polling taken in the wake of this week’s shock migration figures shows.
A majority of Britons are concerned the nation’s population is soaring because of mass migration and, astonishingly, a majority even support a “five-year halt on all further immigration into the UK”. Reducing migration to zero, never mind for five whole years, is a position on border control so strident there is no political party in Britain that voters could even support to deliver such a policy.
The figures, which come from research by British Polling Council member People Polling in response to this week’s record net migration figures, shows a strong majoirty are concerned about migration having an impact on the population of the United Kingdom. Per a statement by Migration Watch, who commissioned the polling seen by Breitbart London 66 per cent of Britons said they are concerned about projections based on the present rate of migrant arrivals which suggest the UK population would reach 85 million by 2046 if nothing changes.

Border Patrol Chiefs Tell Lawmakers of ‘Demoralizing’ Migrant Surge
Border Patrol chiefs of nine sectors along the US-Mexico frontier have warned a House committee about the “unprecedented” number of illegal migrant crossings that occurred in 2023 — and the threat it presents to the safety of both American citizens and the migrants themselves.
Depositions taken by the House Homeland Security Committee show the veteran officials differed in their assessment of the causes of the historic border surge — but agreed both on the humanitarian dangers and national security concerns, according to transcripts of their remarks reviewed by The Post.

Over three hundred migrants have been crashing at the San Diego International Airport as the border city has been hit with a surge of crossers.
Overnight stays by migrants have become common at the airport, but in recent weeks the number has drastically risen.
On Thursday, a bus dropped off dozens of immigrants at Terminal two, Fox 5 reported.

Seven boats believed to be carrying migrants were escorted into British waters by French coastguards after crossing the Channel on Sunday.
The small boats, which can carry more than 50 people, were seen travelling into British waters during a rare lull in the tempestuous winter weather, which can make the passage potentially deadly.
But people smugglers took advantage of the unusually calm seas to send dozens across, with multiple boatloads of asylum seekers picked up by a Border Force vessel.
It means that up to 350 migrants could have landed on the south coast today, the first such asylum seekers to do so since Wednesday, and the largest number to do so since November 16 when 356 made the crossing.

Canadian athlete and prolific powerlifter April Hutchinson will no longer be celebrated for her sobriety at a London, Ontario, museum exhibit.
In a letter dated November 10, Museum London informed Hutchinson she would be removed from the display, citing her activism in women’s sports.
“It has come to our attention through national and international media that you have recently made discriminatory comments regarding transgender women that deny their existence. Misgendering someone intentionally is a form of discrimination,” wrote the museum.

Disney’s ‘Wish’ is a Theatrical Bomb and the Latest in a String of Woke Failures
Is it time to declare the Disney brand dead? Only a couple weeks ago the entertainment giant suffered one of its worst box office showings ever with the failure of The Marvels, a feminist driven girl-boss movie which was widely applauded by social justice advocates but ignored by the vast majority of the public. The film is expected to lose $200 million to $300 million once receipts are totaled and marketing costs are accounted for.
In a bizarre attempt at maximum cope, the media is hailing The Marvels as the largest ever theatrical opening by a black female director. When, in fact, the movie is actually the largest box office bomb made by a black female director.
Now, Disney’s animated ‘The Wish’ is set to top that failure, falling well below box office predictions and bringing in only $32 million over a five day period including the once lucrative Thanksgiving weekend.

Tommy Robinson Pepper sprayed- what sort of attitude does that show everyone who expects their Police to behave in accordance and within the bounds of common sense? Control from the political establishment abounds. We are now it appears no longer living in a free country, free from subjugation and enslavement, where one asks has it all gone wrong?

If cops know in advance that they want to take action against you, they can shout out contradictory commands. When you ignore one to comply with the other, the one you ignore gets to shoot, taze or pepper spray you. It’s a dirty cop trick and it’s likely, in my view, that this was what was done to Tommy Robinson. Especially in light of the fact that so many bobbies were involved in his arrest.
