Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Colombian senator and presidential candidate Miguel Uribe died Monday after he was shot in June.

Uribe's wife, María Claudia Tarazona, made the announcement Monday morning on social media, and Fundación Santa Fe Bogotá, the hospital where Uribe was receiving care, also released a statement confirming his death.

The hospital announced Saturday that Uribe's condition became critical due to a hemorrhage in his central nervous system and required "urgent neurosurgical procedures" to stabilize him.

Uribe was shot in the head from behind during a campaign event in June. A 14-year-old was arrested as the suspected gunman, and three adults were also arrested in connection to the incident.

All four were charged with attempted murder and illegal firearm possession, with the adults additionally charged for allegedly using a minor to commit a crime. A fifth person was arrested for purportedly ordering the attack.

The attack on Uribe has stirred up memories in Columbia of the 1980s and 1990s when several political candidates and prominent figures were assassinated, and heightened concerns that violence fueled by criminal groups is on the rise.

Protesters decry jailing of Moldovan

A court found Gagauzia region head Evgenia Gutsul guilty of illegally funding political activities following a trial she claims was a farce

Protesters have gathered outside of the holding facility in the Moldovan capital of Chisinau to express support for prominent opposition figure Evgenia Gutsul, who was recently handed a seven-year prison sentence.

The head of the autonomous region of Gagauzia, who opposes pro-EU President Maia Sandu, was found guilty of illegally financing the opposition Sor party – an accusation she has dismissed as fabricated.

Dozens have turned up for the demonstration with placards in both Russian and Moldovan denouncing “political repression” and demanded that Gutsul be set free

In social media videos from the site, a speaker said that the very concept of democracy has become hollowed out in the EU candidate nation. He further claimed that Moldovan judges lack impartiality and are mere “slaves to the system.”

Similar rallies were held earlier this week, with an aide to Gutsul telling RIA Novosti that protests would continue on a daily basis until the politician was released.

Gutsul herself described the ruling against her as a “political execution” and a blow to the “entire democratic system of Moldova.”

The jailed politician served as the head of Gagauzia, an autonomous and predominantly Russian-speaking region in the south of the former Soviet country. She had campaigned on promises of closer ties with Moscow.

Her party, Sor, was banned in 2023 on allegations of illicit financing from abroad.

Commenting on the recent developments, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the ruling represented the “culmination of repression by the Chisinau regime against the entire Gagauz autonomy.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov similarly lamented that the “rules and norms of democracy are being trampled in every possible way now” in the EU candidate country.

Incumbent pro-EU President Maia Sandu narrowly won the vote and secured a second presidential term in the elections last November, amid claims of widespread irregularities.

Meanwhile, last month, the European Council blacklisted several opposition groups in Moldova, and imposed personal sanctions on seven opposition politicians.

WATCH PIERRE POILIEVRE TAKE THE QUESTION FROM KEEAN BEXTE (BELOW)

This week, a video of Calgary Transit went viral: hordes of commuters crammed into and around a bus in a scene of packed chaos. People spilling out of doorways, swarming the stop, the platform heaving — more like rush hour in Calcutta than anything you’d expect in Calgary.

Candice Malcolm, X, Aug. 6, 2025

It’s the latest proof of what Canadians already see and feel. Crime is up. Traffic is up. ER wait times are up. Rent and housing prices are in the stratosphere. And instead of acknowledging the problem, the Canadian political class, legacy media, and the immigration industrial complex have doubled down — smearing anyone who spoke up two years ago as a racist, a bigot, or a white nationalist.

This is not about skin colour. If one million unvetted Irish or French-speaking Belgians flooded our country through scam colleges, they’d need to go back too.

But that’s not who came. The federal government opened the floodgates to the developing world with zero regard for cultural fit, sustainability, or national interest — and now we’re all paying the price.

Even recent immigrants see the mess created over the last decade. In fact, polling shows non-white Canadians are more critical of mass migration than white Canadians. That alone should silence the pearl-clutchers.

Many of these “newcomers” — to use the new globalist buzzword that replaced “immigrant” after the latter became too toxic — were sold a lie. They were told Canada was a dreamland. Most are now waking up to a destroyed promise. But that won’t be enough. Because the ones who came to take advantage — the ones packed twelve to a house in Brampton — will stay. Why wouldn’t they? Even a collapsing Canada still offers ‘free’ healthcare (for now).

That needs to change.

• This means mandatory language testing, with enforcement.

• This means if you're not gainfully employed, you go back.

• This means if you're a drag on the system, you're cut loose.

Canada is not a refugee camp. It is a nation with values, responsibilities, and a social contract — one that's being shredded by globalist ideologues and cowardly politicians too afraid to speak plain truth.

On Thursday, I personally asked Pierre Poilievre how he plans to fix it.

Poilievre’s answer hit some of the right notes: deportation for those deemed inadmissible, removal of criminals after detention, tracking down the 600 criminal fugitives the Liberals have lost, cutting international student and Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) numbers that corporations use to drive down wages, and — crucially — net negative migration “for the next several years.”

But broad strokes aren’t enough. We’ve had years of political hedging. Even now, senior Conservatives are still undermining this issue from within, calling for scrapping English language tests or hiding behind “family reunification” — buzzwords that mask the same unsustainable intake. Without clear, measurable targets and timelines for removals, border security, and intake cuts, the promises won’t outlast the next press conference.

The UK is showing us what political courage looks like. Nigel Farage spent years saying what his opponents wouldn’t — and now they’re forced to echo him. Britain’s ruling party is scrambling to pledge lower migration because Farage made it politically impossible not to. Reform UK is now the most trusted party on immigration, and Farage himself is the most trusted leader on the issue — beating even the Prime Minister. Two-thirds of Britons now say migration is too high, and even Keir Starmer, Britain’s liberal PM, is parroting Farage’s warnings, pledging to slash migration and warning the UK could become an “island of strangers.”

That’s what political courage does. It shifts the Overton Window. It forces the cowards to follow. Canada’s Conservatives should take note: speaking the truth about immigration isn’t just right — it’s smart politics.

Poilievre has moved the Conservatives further than Bergen, O’Toole, Ambrose, or Scheer ever did. The question now is whether he’s willing to go the full distance — before Canadians decide someone else will.

Because if leadership doesn’t act soon, the viral scene in Calgary this week won’t be a one-off spectacle. It will be the new normal in every major city. And by then, no amount of speeches will fix what’s been lost.

Middle East Madness > 95% of UN Aid trucks intercepted in Gaza - It's almost like the UN is complicit with Hamas

 

I challenge any country complaining about food not getting into Gaza to volunteer to deliver that food.

UN Admits 95% of its Gaza Aid Trucks

Were ‘Intercepted’

After 5% success rate, UN demands another $265 million or everyone will starve.

Over the past few weeks, the UN, the EU, the media and Hamas banded together to demand that aid deliveries shift back from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to the United Nations.

The campaign played out with Hamas kidnapping, torturing and killing employees of the U.S. aid group, while the media spread false claims that Israel was using GHF distribution sites as ‘death traps’ for killing Gazans, and world leaders demanded that the UN be put back in charge of aid.

Back when the UN had been in charge it had faked its own famine by refusing to deliver food and letting it pile up instead. Since then the UN’s food aid has kept on piling up even while GHF, an American Christian aid group, has managed to deliver millions of meals to Gaza residents, despite being smeared by the media as “controversial” for feeding those whom the UN wouldn’t.

Whom was the UN actually delivering aid to back when it even bothered trying to deliver it?

The UNOPS ‘Mechanism for Gaza’ revealed that of the around 2,600 aid trucks entering Gaza, only 300 made it to their destination. 2,310 trucks or 88% of them were ‘intercepted’.

Much of the ‘aid’ being brought in by the UN and its allies, including the UN’s WFP, UNICEF, the International Red Cross, the International Medical Corps and the World Central Kitchen, whose founder Jose Andres, has been constantly attacking Israel in the media, was ‘intercepted’.

Cindy McCain’s UN World Food Programme (WFP), which has been front and center in the media, crying for more money and denouncing Trump and Israel, only successfully delivered 1,864 pallets of aid since May while losing 29,673 pallets or 93% of it to “interceptions”.

The UN’s WFP recently claimed that it has run out of food stocks and needs $265 million for just the next 6 months to feed Gaza. Where did its food stocks go? Certainly not to aid stations.

The WFP’s track record of successfully delivering pallets is 6%. That’s bad even for the UN. Who is all that aid going to? The UN, which is happy to break down everything by weight and pallet, is deliberately vague on the subject, saying only that it had been “intercepted either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully armed actors, during transit in Gaza”.

Who might those “armed actors” be? Alec Baldwin? Clint Eastwood? Hamas?

The UN, which condemns Israel every other day of the week, isn’t talking, but what we know is its aid groups aren’t actually delivering to any aid groups, they’re ‘delivering’ them to “armed actors” and those armed actors probably aren’t members of the Academy of Motion Pictures.

And the UN’s deliberate ambiguity about how many trucks are being “peacefully” intercepted and how many are being seized by “armed actors” with green headbands is likely a deliberate attempt to obfuscate how many of its ‘aid trucks’ are being used to run supplies to Hamas.

In a recent press release, the UN’s WFP claimed that “a total of 1,833 trucks have been dispatched to reach starving civilians inside Gaza”, it neglected to mention that only 140 of those trucks (currently estimated at 2095) or 5% of the trucks actually reached anyone.

Even assuming the best possible intentions by the WFP, why in the world would anyone hand the UN organization its requested quarter of a billion dollars for a 5% success ratio?

And there’s no reason to assume any good intentions on the part of the UN or the WFP.

After years of doing this, even a bunch of rickshaw drivers could manage a better ratio than 95% enemy intercepts. It’s hard to believe that the 5% deliveries to 95% interceptions ratio reflects anything other than extensive collaboration between the UN’s Gaza employees, many of whom are Hamas, and Hamas. The UN’s refusal to deliver much of the aid under its control reflects a deliberate effort to create shortages in order to put pressure on Israel and drive up the price for the aid that Hamas steals. There’s no famine in Gaza but there are artificial shortages being created by the UN-Hamas alliance meant to financially and politically benefit the terrorists.

The best evidence of it is that Hamas made the restoration of UN control over aid into Gaza one of its conditions for a deal. Why would an Islamic terrorist group care who distributes the aid?

After losing 95% of its aid trucks, you would think that the UN would turn to Israel to provide security, but unlike the Gaza Humanitarian foundation, the international aid groups have repeatedly rejected any Israeli military protection. Lately, UN officials have taken to complaining that their trucks are being looted because they’re forced to use “unsecured routes”.

But if they don’t want Israel to secure those routes, who do they want securing the routes?

According to a New York Times story, “the United Nations does not allow Israeli soldiers to protect aid convoys, fearing that would compromise its neutrality, and its officials have called on Israel to allow the Gaza police, which are under Hamas’s authority, to secure their convoys.”

Having Hamas escort its trucks doesn’t compromise the UN’s neutrality, but having Israel does.

Last year, Farhan Haq, the Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, in response to a question about Israel taking out the Hamas ‘General’ in charge of the ‘Gaza Police’, and “responsible for securing the aid and the aid trucks” admitted that “we have contacts with everyone involved in the grounds who can play a role in making sure that trucks can travel safely through Gaza, and that includes people in the de facto authorities” and vowed that “we will continue our discussions with anyone on the de facto authorities who is capable of working with us to make sure that the flow of goods into Gaza continues.” “De facto authorities” are how nonprofit aid groups tend to refer to illegal Islamic terrorist groups. In this case, that’s Hamas.

The AFP reported that “the Gaza police – which includes many Hamas members – helped secure humanitarian convoys” while NBC News claimed that “Gaza’s police force was also more present and provided security, but months of Israeli bombing have crippled the police.”

The Biden administration, after falsely assuring Israel that Hamas would not intercept the aid, was not only aware that this was going on, but David Satterfield, Biden’s ‘humanitarian’ envoy,  condemned Israel for taking out the Hamas ‘police’ including, according to him, “a commander whose units had been involved in providing escorts”, admitted that the Gaza ‘police’ “certainly include Hamas elements” but that “with the departure of police escorts, it has been virtually impossible for the U.N. or anyone else… to safely move assistance in Gaza.”

With Hamas helping to “secure” aid trucks, it’s a mystery how so many of them disappear.

After an aid delivery success ratio in the single digits, the UN is terrible at delivering aid in Gaza, but it’s a stunning success when it comes to its political and economic support of Hamas.
