Newspaper calls Trudeau a 'buffoon' after lecturing Italian PM

Lecturing, or ambushing?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a self-described feminist, is being slammed for his “repugnant” behaviour after trying to “mansplain” democracy to Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni.

The Saturday front page of the Milan Libero newspaper. Libero

Literally: “This buffoon wants to teach us lessons.”

Meloni seemed none too pleased Friday at the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, when Trudeau told her before private, bilateral talks that “Canada is concerned about some of the positions Italy is taking in terms of LGBT rights.” He added that he was looking forward to speaking to her more about the issue and “other democratic principles that the world needs.”

The buffoon would never speak to a man in such a manner, but it seems obvious he feels considerably superior to Meloni. As usual, he is delusional. 

The Italian leader fired back Sunday, saying she rejected Trudeau’s criticism and that the Liberal leader had fallen “victim” to “fake news.”

She actually said: “He has fallen victim to fake news” and his assessment doesn’t correspond to “reality”.

Italian media was quick to condemn Trudeau’s latest misstep on the world stage with the Milan-based Libero newspaper splashing a picture of the Grit prime minister on its front page in blackface with the headline, translated from Italian, saying, “This buffoon wants to teach us lessons.”

Even Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi got in on the act, saying Meloni’s grimace while being lectured:

 “really sums up what all of us think of the repugnant, incompetent Trudeau.”

Trudeau’s critique on Friday came in response to news that Meloni’s government told Italian city councils to stop officially recording both parents in same-sex couples and instead limit it to the biological parent. The move has sparked protests by gay rights groups.

Gay rights groups live in a magical land of their own.

I would love to see Trudeau being shunned by the other G7 leaders for his unwelcomed, misogynistic behaviour.

I'll bet The Sun is the only major Canadian news outlet that publishes this story.

UPDATE 22 MAY 2023 - CTV News covered this story on their website. CBC and Global seem to have avoided it. In the CTV report which was probably written by Associated Press, Giorgia Meloni is introduced as the Premier of Italy. Although technically correct, in Canada, provincial heads of state are called Premiers while the national head of state is called Prime Minister. Did AP use the term Premier deliberately in order to hint that Trudeau was above Meloni? 

CTV also managed to neglect to mention the media outfall from Trudeau's ambush of the woman on camera, something he would never do to a man. He had an opportunity to do so with Indonesia's head of state and sat quietly without saying a word. 

French PM Downplays Attack on Police as Govt Accused of Failing to Enforce Order

Government and media refuse to acknowledge reality in France

as Islamic No-Go Zones are starting to look like war zones

French authorities will make the ‘irresponsible fools’ who set fire to a circus, and attacked police outside Paris at the weekend, respect the law, PM Edouard Philippe has vowed. But it seems that not many believe him.

Emergency Response Teams Ambushed

On Saturday, a large tent belonging to a local circus troupe was set on fire in the Chanteloup-les-Vignes commune 27 kilometers (17 miles) north-west of the French capital. When police and firefighters arrived at the scene they were ambushed by a group of about 30 aggressive youths. The area quickly turned into some sort of 'battlefield' as police officers were targeted with stones, firecrackers, and Molotov cocktails.

Two officers were wounded in the clashes and police detained only two of the attackers, according to local media. The cost of the damage caused during the outbreak of violence is reportedly about 3 million euros.

“We obviously deplore these foolish and violent acts,” Philippe said on Monday. He insisted that the clashes were instigated by a “small gang of imbeciles… who think that breaking everything is the way to go.”

The violence was a response by criminals to anti-drug measures implemented by police in the area, the head of the government pointed out. “We are determined to ensure that trafficking ceases and that order is restored and respected.”

Notice, in this report, even though it comes from RT, that there is no mention of Muslims or Islamic No-Go Zones. 

No-Go Zones in France - at least 3 years old

However, not everybody was convinced that Chanteloup-les-Vignes was an isolated incident, saying that the scale of the problem of the so-called “urban guerillas” was far greater than the government was admitting. Critics insist the state had almost no control over migrant ghettos in various parts of the country where the drug trade and extremist ideology strives, while the police endanger their lives every time they enter those districts.

Isn't that amazing - still no mention of Muslim gangs or No-Go zones. 

The government has turned a blind eye to the danger posed by lawless neighborhoods, Marine Le Pen, head of the National Rally party, said. She slammed Interior Minister Christophe Castaner and his associates for being “incompetent.”

“Where are the state and the authority [President] Emmanuel Macron?” National Rally spokesman Julien Sanchez added, sounding the alarm over the increased number of attacks against police.

Other National Rally members described Chanteloup-les-Vignes and other similar areas as “our lost territories.”

'Our lost territories', ie No-Go Zones.

“The scenes of urban war are multiplying,” Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the Debout la France party wrote.

The Government is unable to enforce order.

Last month, more than 20,000 police officers took to the streets in Paris to protest against proposed pension reforms which could deprive them of bonuses. They were also protesting against being overworked due to the weekly Yellow Vest protests and France being in a state of emergency since the November 2015 terrorist attacks. Officers claim their work is now more dangerous with the number of assaults against them increasing 15% in 2019.

October was also marred by a brazen knife attack which took place inside police headquarters in Paris. A police staffer killed four officers with a ceramic knife, which he had smuggled undetected through metal detectors, before being shot dead.

And, again, no acknowledgment of the fact that the murderer was a radical Muslim. Even RT seems to be turning politically correct.

7 Killed in Egypt as Bus Carrying Christian Pilgrims is Ambushed - UPDATED

UPDATE 4Nov18: Egypt reports all who attacked Christian bus, are dead!

Egypt says security forces have killed 19 militants in a shootout, including the gunmen suspected of killing seven Christians in an attack on pilgrims traveling to a remote monastery.

The Interior Ministry says the militants were tracked to a desert hideout west of the central Minya province, where Friday’s attack took place.

The ministry published photographs purporting to show the bodies of the slain militants. It says the men opened fire when security forces surrounded them.

Friday’s attack was the second in as many years to target pilgrims on their way to the monastery of St. Samuel the Confessor. A May 2017 attack left 29 dead.

Christians make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s 100 million people and have long complained of discrimination.

Egypt was hit by a spate of multiple casualty attacks on

The worst part of this theatre in the War on Christianity is that if the Muslim Brotherhood had not been thrown out of government, it would be much worse.

Gunmen killed at least seven Christians in an attack on a bus near a Coptic monastery in Egypt on Friday, authorities said, in the most serious assault on the minority in more than a year.

No group immediately claimed responsibility, but militants linked to ISIS have regularly targeted Christians.

The attackers struck close to Saint Samuel the Confessor monastery in Minya, 260 kilometres up the River Nile from Cairo, Archbishop of Minya Anba Makarious told Reuters.

The attack took place close to where gunmen killed 28 Christians in a similar assault in May 2017.

"Terrorists opened fire on a tour bus from Sohag province, heading back from the ... monastery," the archbishop said. He had earlier said the bus was approaching the monastery.

He said seven people were killed and 14 were wounded. State news agency MENA, citing a security source, put the number of injured at seven and said the bus was transporting Christians.

Local residents said the bus was part of a convoy.

Egypt's president promises justice

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said he mourned the victims as martyrs, and vowed to push ahead with a campaign against militants.

"I assert our determination to fight dark terrorism and to pursue the perpetrators," he said on Twitter.

Outside Egypt, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the archbishop of Britain's Coptic Orthodox Church were among those condemning the attack and expressing condolences to Egyptians.

Well, that's unusual! Trudeau recognizing the persecution of Christians. Must be an election coming.

Egypt has been waging a major military and security campaign, mainly in Sinai but also on the border with Libya, to crush militants behind a wave of attacks on security forces and civilians, including Christians.

Egypt says fighting Islamist militants is a priority to restore security after the years of turmoil that followed the Arab Spring protests in 2011.

Egypt's public prosecutor ordered an investigation and said he had sent a team of investigators to the location and to nearby hospitals.

Mexico - Who's in Control - Top Prosecutor Assassinated

NUEVO LAREDO , Mexico, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- A top Mexican prosecutor and two state officials were assassinated Wednesday night, and another government official was wounded by gunfire, during what officials say was an ambush in the street.

Ricardo Martinez Chavez, regional coordinator for the attorney general's office, and the two others were shot and killed in the Mexican border town of Nuevo Laredo.

"I regret and condemn the cowardly murders in Nuevo Laredo of the elements of the PGJ," Francisco Garcia Cabeza de Vaca, governor of Tamaulipas state, tweeted after the killings. "I express my condolences to their families."

Chavez and the other two victims were leaving a meeting at a government office Wednesday night when they were attacked by gunmen in the intersection, police said. A third official was hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

Nuevo Laredo has a history of drug cartel-related violence, as several police chiefs have been targeted by criminals over the past decade. The fighting had cooled for a few years, but flared back up last year as shootouts occurred regularly between law enforcement and drug runners.

40% of all truck traffic flows from Mexico to the USA through Nuevo Laredo and Laredo, Texas. It has long been a target for various drug cartels and home to numerous murders and massacres in pursuit of control of the city. One thing is obvious; it isn't the government that is in control.

30 Boko Haram Troops Killed in Ambush of Nigerian Government Convoy

BAMA , Nigeria, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Thirty suspected Boko Haram militants died when the Nigerian army repelled an ambush of traveling government members near Bama, a local official said.

"We were traveling from Pulka to Maiduguri when militants attacked our convoy with improvised explosive devices and sporadic gunshots, just after [passing the village of] Ngurosoye, but the troops repelled them, killing up to 30 of the terrorists," said Saeed Salisu, chairmen of the government of Gwoza, in northeastern Borno state.

Nigerian troops escorting the convoy Sunday returned fire. No government officials were injured, but several soldiers were treated for injuries at a nearby barracks hospital.

The insurgent group has perfected a new tactic of waiting to ambush convoys. At least two senior officers were killed in the past two months, including Lt. Col. Mohammed Abu-Ali, a commanding officer in the army's counter-terrorism unit, the Nigerian newspaper the Guardian reported Monday.

Not sure 'perfected' is the right word here. But it's good to see that the soldiers were adequately armed to be able to withstand an attack and repel it.

Analysts blame the country's dry season, improving Boko Haram's mobility, and the Nigerian army's inadequate military equipment, for failing to finally defeat the weakened insurgent movement, Turkey's Anadolu Agency said.

Remarkable Story of Survival and Triumph in Boko Haram's Nigeria

Nigerian student defies odds to graduate

Abubakar Umar - my hero today

Yola (Nigeria)  - Dressed in a red and blue gown and mortar board, Abubakar Umar collected his degree on Saturday looking like just another proud student.

But if there was nothing to make the 26-year-old petroleum chemistry student stand out from his classmates, the story of how he came to be at his graduation ceremony at the American University of Nigeria in the northeastern city of Yola, is one of sheer courage and determination.

Last November, Umar was driving home to the city of Kano 640 kilometres (400 miles) away when he ran into Boko Haram insurgents, who opened fire twice on his car, hitting him in both arms.

"I think I should have died on that day, I could have died on that day," he told reporters before the graduation ceremony.

"I lost so much blood, there wasn't any medication. But somehow I think the Lord kept me alive for a special reason and one of those reasons was to complete my degree."

- Warning signs -

The signs were ominous as Umar left Yola, crossing from Adamawa state into neighbouring Gombe on the seven-hour journey to Kano, northern Nigeria's biggest city.

Fellow drivers warned him to take another route. On it, the military checkpoints were unmanned.

In the early hours of the morning as he approached Potiskum, the commercial capital of Yobe state and a frequent Boko Haram target, he slowed to avoid potholes on the road. Then he heard gunshots.

"I just saw these people coming out of the bush. They were screaming 'Allahu Akbar' (God is greatest) and shooting at my car," he recalled.

"At first I stopped because some of them had military trousers and boots but then I noticed their headbands and what they were saying, so I realised they were insurgents.

"They shot me in my right arm. I continued (driving). I didn't know where I was going. I just kept on driving. I thought I would reach a checkpoint and report the case. I never met any checkpoint.

"I slowed down again because of the road and they shot me for the second time. I fractured my arm."

After abandoning his car, blood flowing from his wounds and broken bone exposed, he stumbled upon a village and was taken in by locals, at grave risk to their own lives.

He was ushered to a filthy communal toilet where he passed out.

- Disguise and escape -

When he came round later in the day, the locals -- wary of reprisals if he was ever found -- provided him with a heavy salt and water mix to pour into his wounds to stop the bleeding.

After hiding out all day, he managed to call for help on a borrowed mobile phone. He spent the night in the village until friends picked him up the next day.

Even then, he had to disguise himself just in case he stumbled across rebel fighters, who at the time had bases in the area.

"I put mud and chicken dung on my head to look like a madman," he said. "I removed my shoes and put them in my pocket... (but) I didn't see Boko Haram."

Umar returned to university in January after surgery on his wounds, the scars of which are still visible on his arms.

"I came back and I couldn't use my right hand for 14 weeks... I couldn't write, I couldn't press (keys on) the computer. When the cast was removed, I was OK," he added.

After six years of violence, at least 15,000 deaths and some 1.5 million left homeless, there are often few positive tales to tell about the bloody Boko Haram insurgency.

But by battling to complete his degree -- at a university teaching the secular "Western" education Boko Haram opposes -- Umar knows he is one of the lucky ones.

"I've made it and I've graduated, so I'm very happy," he added.

To go with his degree scroll, Umar, who now wants to study for a master's qualification, also received a special award for courage.

"I've never seen anyone with more determination, with more courage, with more positive attitude," said university director Margee Ensign.

Well deserved, Abubakar Umar. May God bless and protect you in your further studies and the great career that awaits you.
