The Economist: Reading the death certificate on Boris Johnson’s political career
The death of Boris Johnson's political career was sealed with his resignation as "Steward and Bailiff of the Three Hundreds of Chiltern" following an inquiry into whether he deliberately misled Parliament and his campaign of abuse towards the investigating committee. Johnson's political legacy is represented by the Northern Research Group (nrg) and the Conservative party's majority win in 2019, which enticed northern voters with promises of a realignment of British politics. However, the nrg's annual meeting in Doncaster was a premature wake, with support for the Conservatives falling fastest in northern constituencies while Labour enjoys a 14-point poll lead across the country and a 90% chance of retaking Don Valley.
American Thinker: Delusional DAs endanger us by protecting foreign criminals
In an increasing number of American jurisdictions, district attorneys seem to think that one of their primary functions is to help foreign criminals remain in the United States. LA County DA, George Gascon's new policy, Special Directive 22-07, requires prosecutors to consider alternatives when a non-U.S. citizen faces potential deportation. This trend has been spreading around the country, including Philadelphia. Gambling that illegal alien miscreants won’t sustain convictions is utterly pointless, and measures like what Gascon and Krasner have taken are discriminating against US citizens.

The Epoch Times: Study Says One Southern State in Australia Is Better Than All the Rest
The Australian Capital Territory is the best place to live in the country for the seventh year in a row, according to the Social Progress Index. The index measures states' access to health, housing, education, and well-being, with the ACT scoring highly across a range of indicators. Other states including Victoria and New South Wales scored well for certain measures, but struggled with inclusiveness and access to education during COVID-19 lockdowns. The index highlights the need for targeted policy and investment in regions such as Western Australia and the Northern Territory, which have historically scored lower due to remoteness and larger proportions of First Nations people.

The Epoch Times: China Researcher Warns Confucius Institute Hiring Process Poses 'Fundamental Systematic Risk' to UK Universities
Chinese recruitment practices for Confucius Institutes in the UK pose a "systematic risk" to hosting universities, according to a China researcher. UK-China Transparency found that Chinese universities were hiring candidates for their British partners based on the ability to "surveil, inform on and possibly intimidate and threaten their peers," leading to discriminatory practices that are "illegal under British law." The Chinese International Education Foundation now governs the institutes, despite its ties to the Communist Party. With the UK hosting 30 Confucius Institutes, the new Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act and powers granted to England's higher education regulator could force universities to address the issue.

The Epoch Times: Harvard Medical School Employee Among 6 Charged With Stealing, Selling Human Body Parts From Morgues
Former Harvard Medical School employee Cedric Lodge and five others have been indicted for stealing human body remains, mostly from the Harvard morgue, and selling them across the US. Lodge and his wife Denise was indicted on charges of conspiracy and interstate transport of stolen goods. Prosecutors alleged that Lodge stole organs and other parts of corpses scheduled to be cremated between 2018 through 2022. Lodge then sold them to other co-indicted parties after making arrangements to do so by phone or social media. After purchasing the human remains from Lodge, the buyers resold them for profit, including to body modification artist Jeremy Pauley. Many of the stolen remains had been donated to a medical school and were meant to be used for research and educational purposes. The six individuals face 15 years in prison if found guilty of the charges.

American Thinker: Canadian Wildfires: not driven by climate change
Mainstream media claims of unprecedented wildfires in Canada caused by climate change are unfounded. Wildfires occur regularly throughout the world, including in Canada and the United States, and smoke from these fires has affected the Eastern US in the past. The recent fires were caused by temporary weather conditions, not climate change. Data shows that wildfires in Canada and globally have been declining during the recent period of modest warming. The combined effect of carbon dioxide fertilisation and rising temperatures has resulted in improved soil moisture conditions and contributed to this trend.
The Economist: Migration policy in Europe gets a much-needed reboot
Europe has long struggled with migration policy, with a chaotic asylum system and thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean. EU governments have finally agreed on a deal that includes "mandatory solidarity" for countries beyond the front lines of migration to take in at least 30,000 asylum-seekers a year, or pay a penalty into an EU fund. In return, front-line countries such as Italy will host camps where some migrants' asylum claims will be processed. However, human-rights groups are unhappy with the possibility some migrants will be sent back after a cursory check of their asylum claims.
Europe is "happier than before to be tough on those who reach its shores", and the agreement has come about partly because bar those from Ukraine, Europeans are happy to give shorter shrift to those from the rest of the world. The EU now talks openly of withholding aid or nixing trade deals with poor countries if they do not help with migration. The agreement between governments still has some way to go before it becomes EU law.
American Thinker: WSJ vs. DJT
The Wall Street Journal's recent editorials on the Garland/Biden/Smith indictment suggest the presence of a Democrat mole on the editorial page, with accusations typical of Trump-hating Democrats being hurled without evidence. The journal appears to be denouncing President Trump while covering up Biden corruption in Ukraine. #(A)politics
