BRAMPTON — Peel Regional Police have arrested 17 men tied to an international criminal network known as For Brothers, targeting what investigators describe as a coordinated campaign of intimidation, threats, and escalating violence aimed at South Asian business owners across Canada and the United States — in what police called one of the largest extortion cases the region has ever seen, and the latest enforcement strike against a crisis that The Bureau‘s investigations have traced to the wholesale exploitation of Canada’s immigration and international-education systems. The network operated mainly out of Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga, touching Surrey, British Columbia,...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A mother was arrested for D.U.I. after driving 120 miles per hour on I-10 with her three-year-old in the back seat, says the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO). According to JSO, an officer pulled over the mother after seeing her drive 120 miles per hour on I-10. The officer enlisted the help of D.U.I. Officer Ernesto Valerio after he smelled marijuana in the car. An investigation determined that the mother was driving under the influence and found a lit marijuana joint and several empty bottles of alcohol after searching the car. Her three-year-old was in the backseat. In...

MONTREAL — As Canadian Grand Prix qualifying took place at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on Saturday, a different kind of rally took place in Montreal’s downtown core. Sex workers announced they’d be going on strike during one of Montreal’s busiest weekends of the year. Over one hundred sex workers and allies walked the streets and protested in the name of improved wages and working conditions. “Grand Prix was a good opportunity because our employers make a lot of money,” said Adore Goldman, co-founder of the Sex Work Autonomous Committee (SWAC), established in 2019. “But…often we don’t make that much money because they...

The son of the billionaire founder of fashion giant Mango has been arrested in Barcelona after his father died falling off a mountain nearly two years ago. Tycoon Isak Andic, 71, was hiking with his son Jonathan, 45, near the Catalan city when he plunged around 500ft down a cliff to his death in late 2024. Having opened and then closed an investigation in to the fatal fall, police confirmed the death was being investigated as a possible homicide in October. Jonathan Andic has always protested his innocence and insisted his father died by accident. But this morning he was...

Los Angeles firefighters have broken ranks to tear into Mayor Karen Bass over the disastrous state of the department across the city. Officers revealed to the California Post they are trapped in marathon shifts, missing paychecks and going through hell while its budget flatlines despite rising risks of wildfires. They warned response times are climbing and emergency callouts are exploding but City Hall was refusing to pump in desperately needed cash. Fire crews are now pooling together more than $1 million of their own cash to push for a sales tax measure they claim would cover just the basics to...

The failures of socialized medicine stem not from malice, but from inherent incentives: monopolistic structures, political allocation of resources, and suppressed innovation. I am regularly astonished at how many people -- often younger folks -- praise the supposed benefits of socialism and single‑payer health care. Despite extensive evidence to the contrary, and despite daily tragedies in systems that have adopted these models, the calls for more government intervention never seem to stop. Socialized medicine, exemplified by Britain’s National Health Service (NHS), was founded on noble ideals: universal access to care “free at the point of use,” funded collectively as a...

Kerry Sheron, the 69-year-old owner of the ‘Trump house’ in Southern California, has died after being brutally beaten by a Navy veteran. Sheron, an Army veteran, was violently assaulted by 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler in an unprovoked attack on May 20 outside of Sheron’s home. Kerry Sheron decorated his Escondido home with Trump banners and American flags. The Trump-supporting Army veteran died Sunday night just days after he was hospitalized in critical condition. Butler was previously charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, making criminal threats and battery. His charges will be upgraded after Sheron died from his injuries. Deputy District...

The Democrats and the media (but I’m repeating myself) are profoundly dishonest, and there are a lot of “experts” they hire, with our tax dollars, who are even more dishonest. I have degrees in statistical analysis and political science. I’m not an expert at anything, except research and eighth-grade math. But I’ve spotted a basic disconnect between the Democrats, common sense and the truth. We had a president issue blanket pre-emptive pardons on his way out the door, to his entire family and his closest political allies, for crimes that nobody even knows about, that may or may not have...

Two New York Democrats running in a hotly contested congressional primary pledged federal funding for “Drag Story Hour” — as records show city and state taxpayers have paid nearly $700,000 to boost the program. Incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman and his opponent, former city Comptroller Brad Lander, both told an LGBTQ Democratic club that they support dishing out federal money to subsidize the program, which invited drag queens into schools to read to young children. “Unfortunately, the Majority does not allow funding from Members of Congress to support LGBTQIA+ programming,” Goldman wrote in on a questionnaire from the Jim Owles LGBT...

The book (left) and Martin Johnes (right)This is a review and discussion of the book Wales – England’s Colony?, rather than the two part TV series that will screen on BBC2 Wales tomorrow night (Monday) at 9pm. Although I would presumes of course that the argument put forth by Professor of History at Swansea University, Martin Johnes, will be the same in both book and series, so it may well be a kind of a review of both. It’s something of a feature of books about Welsh history, that they have a lot of questions marks in their titles. We’ve...

John Cornyn is 74 years old running for another six year term. That means he'll be 80 years old at the end of his next term. 80! Has been in the US Senate for 24 years and wants 30. It also means it will likely be his LAST term. And once free of the people's comeuppance, he'll just do what he wants and be a Democrat handmaiden (which he is already). Cornyn will also vote for John Thune again for Leader. Most importantly, if he's defeated today, Cornyn will be gone from the Senate Judiciary committee (along with Thom Tillis)....

A US Senator was tear gassed amid chaotic protests outside a New Jersey ICE facility on Monday after the state's governor was denied entry in what the Department of Homeland Security called 'a political stunt.' Anti-ICE protesters have hounded Delaney Hall in Newark for days amid a hunger and labor strike launched by hundreds of detainees inside, according to The New Jersey Monitor. The facility has been a point of controversy during the second Trump administration, with multiple Democrat politicians demanding its closure over concerns of poor conditions. The migrants claim that they have been served beans and salad with...

Tutored by Thelonious Monk, the Harlem native came of age with bebop and created a succession of improvisational masterpieces that made him one of history’s most influential musicians.Sonny Rollins, the powerful and personal jazz tenor saxophonist whose improvisational sessions became legend and his compositions “St. Thomas,” “Oleo,” “Doxy,” “Rent-Up House” and “Airegin” standards, died Monday. He was 95. Rollins died at his home in Woodstock, New York, his family announced. Widely recognized as one of the most important and influential musicians of all time, Rollins recorded 60-plus albums during his seven-decade career. Along the way, he received a a...

We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions. I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law...

No Investigations, Regulation, or Discipline has Followed Fort Collins, CO — Earlier this week, Operation Rescue and Life Legal Defense Foundation made national news after finally obtaining the unredacted autopsy report for Lexi Arguello, a young girl who died from a catastrophic complication after a late-term abortion at Planned Parenthood in Fort Collins, Colorado. However, Lexi is not the only woman that has fallen victim to Colorado abortion clinics, which are no longer required to be licensed or inspected. Radical abortion policies within the state have resulted in countless injuries, and the intentional lack of oversight coupled with overly redacted...

Yes, you can build your very own nuclear fusion reactor in your house! But first, a few warnings: -This project includes lethal voltage levels. Make sure you know your high voltage safety or have a qualified electrical advisor. -Potentially hazardous levels of x-rays will be produced. Lead shielding of viewports is a must! -Deuterium, an explosive gas, will be used. Make sure to check for fuel leaks. -All the other inherent dangers of a home engineering project of this degree (a wide gamut of potential injuries, damage to the checking account, and the loss of general sanity) ========================================================================================== Here are...
