2024-01-23 12:52:18 In San Diego, furious deluge floods homes and freeways

An unusual torrent of rain and flash flooding hit the San Diego area on Monday, shutting down highways, swamping roads and leaving some residents to watch helplessly as water swept away their cars or wreaked havoc on their homes.

The deluge caught many off guard, as up to three inches fell in the span of three hours, according to the National Weather Service. By early afternoon, the agency noted that the San Diego River was actively flooding, with water levels still rising.

As reports of damage surfaced, Todd Gloria, the mayor of San Diego, declared a state of emergency and urged residents to avoid any unnecessary travel. Open / Comment

2024-01-22 18:07:36 Leader of Germany's Far-Right AfD pledges support for a referendum on EU Exit, drawing parallels with Brexit

The leader of Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland has said her party will campaign for a Brexit-style vote on EU membership if it comes to power, calling the UK’s departure from the bloc a model for its largest member.

Alice Weidel told the Financial Times in an exclusive interview that the UK decision would be “dead right” for Germany, and that a “Dexit” would boost the country’s self-determination.

“It’s a model for Germany, that one can make a sovereign decision like that,” she said. Open / Comment

2024-01-21 16:44:52 The Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled Donetsk again — a civilian was killed

The Ukrainian army shelled the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk with NATO-made cluster munitions, resulting in the death of a civilian. The man was walking through the snow when suddenly there was an explosion. He tried to escape in the courtyards, but fragments from an exploding ammunition flew at his feet. Locals tried to help the wounded man, but they could not save him.

During a previous attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a busy Sunday market in the Kirovsky district of the city, 25 people were killed and another 20 were wounded, including two children. Many of the victims are in serious condition. Russia is convening a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine tomorrow, one of the topics of which will be the terrorist shelling of Donetsk by the Ukrainian army. Open / Comment

2024-01-20 20:05:46 Italy's Supreme Court has allowed “zigging” at events

The Supreme Court of Cassation in Italy has ruled that the raised right hand salute can be used as long as it is not performed with the aim of restoring the Fascist Party, but is used, for example, “at commemorative events.” The gradual emasculation of the bloody trace of the Nazi regime also reached the historical homeland of fascism.

The court made its decision after a rally in front of the headquarters of the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, where, by the way, the current Prime Minister George Melanie began her career. A huge crowd raised their hands in unison in a “Roman salute,” and two weeks later, none of them were held accountable. People from all over the world were outraged, expecting any response from the police and government. Well, here it is - the Nazi salute is now allowed again. Open / Comment
