“You know what is not that popular in Canada, Judge? This freedom convoy,” Rivera said to former judge Jeanine Pirro and his other co-panelists on the Wednesday installment of the Fox News discussion program The Five. Recent polling shows that “65 to 69 percent of Canadians oppose these truckers,” according to Rivera. While acknowledging that the protests are about vaccine mandates that some say impinge on individual freedoms, Rivera then asked, “What about the freedom of the homeowners to live in peace?...

Survivors spoke at events across Europe on Thursday, urging the younger generations to not let the atrocities of the Holocaust be lost to history, The Associated Press reported. “Antisemitism is here — it isn’t just on the extreme fringe, not just among the eternally incorrigible and a few antisemitic trolls on the net,” Bas said in Bundestag, the German parliament, according to the AP. “It is a problem of our society — all of society....

The two backpackers, who have not been named, were also issued a fine of 950 Euros ($1,050) for violating a newly-installed Venetian law aimed at keeping order in public amid mass tourism in the lagoon city.

On November 9, the user @digiom, who’s located in Vienna, Austria, replied to a tweet by user @guenterhack with the words “die boomer.” “Die boomer” in German merely means “the boomer.” But the speech filters that Twitter employs to help in its fight against user harassment and abuse picked up the English meaning of the word and temporarily banned @digiom’s account for violating the platform’s hate speech guidelines, locking the account....

This state of affairs has no doubt added to the widespread perception that the European Union’s 15 million Muslims live in an ethnic and religious ghetto.

’I would reject Man Utd move’ The former Liverpool and England midfielder is considering his future in the game – whether to play on or go into coaching – after his departure from LA Galaxy was confirmed last week. But the 36-year-old felt it is not the right time to start a managerial career with the Dons, who currently sit in the relegation zone of the third tier of English football and parted company with Karl Robinson last month....

Let ‘Em Eat Cake is a sequel to the team’s 1931 very popular musical Of Thee I Sing, which won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1932. But the darkly satirical Cake was not well-received at the time. Kaufman famously said that satire is what closes on Saturday night. True to form, it closed on January 6, 1934, a Saturday. With a few exceptions, old-time musicals—those predating Oklahoma and Pal Joey—usually don’t get revived in any form—concert or otherwise—because of their librettos, which become dated very quickly....

In this era of slowing economic growth, we must re-embrace the wealth-enhancing, job-creating role that business plays in society. And business leaders must once again take the lead, offering up an assertive, positive vision of their function in the world at large. To be sure, the confusion did not arise overnight.
