Is the political and cultural tide turning? We certainly hope so, especially if it means bringing back sanity with regards to law enforcement and public safety. For years -- in the name of 'equity' and 'criminal justice reform' -- Lefties have let violent criminals with looooong records out of prison again and again. This turnstile brand of justice leads to more crime, more innocent victims, and a decline in quality of life because businesses leave, people move, and cities are left to the whims of criminals. Many times, those criminals are also mentally ill. That's not an excuse for their behavior, but it's another reason why government has an obligation -- one it's failed to fulfill -- to protect innocent citizens. But people are getting fed up and a lot of the country shifted to the Right this last election because of the Left's soft-on-crime policies. For all his faults, New York Mayor Eric Adams seems to finally be reading the political winds: Mayor Adams calls for the 'involuntary removal' of people who are 'a danger to others' on the streets https://t.co/1KHdwv6lEs More from Fox News: New York City Mayor Eric Adams stood by his calls for the involuntary commitment of mentally ill homeless people on CNN Thursday. "The Situation Room" host Wolf Blitzer asked Adams about a recent deadly stabbing in his city that killed three people. Adams said the news "shattered [his] heart" and was even more frustrated after learning the suspect was Ramon Rivera, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues and prior arrests. In response, Adams told Blitzer that he had called for efforts to perform the "involuntary removal" of homeless people with severe mental health illnesses. Reports show that a majority of crime in NYC is committed by a few hundred repeat offenders. This notion we can't take them off the streets is, and always has been, ludicrous. This revolving-door 'justice' also caused the deaths of three New Yorkers at the hands of one of those dangerous people (as Adams mentioned above). You mean like enforcing laws passed allowing involuntary removal for breaking laws? Novel idea😂 All we ask is for government to enforce the laws. Regardless of the racial background of the offenders. He’s going full MAGA! Will Trump pardon him? He's in some serious legal trouble, so maybe he's angling for a pardon. Or maybe he's fed up with the Democrats who threw him under the bus (this writer contends if he wasn't a vocal critic of the Biden-Harris immigration policy, he wouldn't be facing those criminal charges). I'm convinced Mayor Adams has been popping a couple of red pills on the side 😂 So are we. I think it’s about time Mayor Adams finally acknowledged the dangers on our streets, but let’s not ignore the fact that it took far too long to get here. For years, New Yorkers have been living in fear, dealing with rising crime, lawlessness, and streets overtaken by those who... People shouldn't have to live in fear because their government fails to jail criminals. About freaking time https://t.co/ER0nheFK2N Yep. New decision https://t.co/MFhgwHSLfR A welcome one. You need to remove @ManhattanDA https://t.co/VqJ79K7CdZ This would be a gutsy move. I totally agree with Mayor Adams for the “involuntary removal “of people who are a danger to others on the streets. I was just talking about this to my husband last month. https://t.co/aW6BDCe2Ut MAGA -- Make Asylums Great Again, too. He's starting to sound sensible. https://t.co/cU3OC3Z8uR Let's hope it sticks.( MENAFN - IANS) Kuwait City, Dec 22 (IANS) Agreeing to elevate the relations to a 'Strategic Partnership', India and Kuwait on Sunday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to institutionalize bilateral cooperation in the area of defence during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's historic two-day visit to the key Gulf nation. Recognising that defence is an important component of the strategic partnership, both countries maintain that the MoU will provide the required framework to further strengthen bilateral defence ties, including through joint military exercises, training of defence personnel, coastal defence, maritime safety, joint development and production of defence equipment. The two sides also "unequivocally condemned" terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including cross-border terrorism and called for disrupting of terrorism financing networks and safe havens, and dismantling of terror infrastructure. "Expressing appreciation of their ongoing bilateral cooperation in the area of security, both sides agreed to enhance cooperation in counter-terrorism operations, information and intelligence sharing, developing and exchanging experiences, best practices and technologies, capacity building and to strengthen cooperation in law enforcement, anti-money laundering, drug-trafficking and other transnational crimes," read the Joint Statement issued after the conclusion of PM Modi's visit. Discussions were also held to promote cooperation in cybersecurity, including prevention of use of cyberspace for terrorism, radicalisation and for disturbing social harmony. "The two sides expressed interest in pursuing deeper collaboration in the area of technology including emerging technologies, semiconductors and artificial intelligence. They discussed avenues to explore B2B cooperation, furthering e-Governance, and sharing best practices for facilitating industries/companies of both countries in the policies and regulation in the electronics and IT sector," the Joint Statement mentioned. The Kuwaiti side also expressed interest in cooperation with India to ensure its food-security. Both sides discussed various avenues for collaboration including investments by Kuwaiti companies in food parks in India. India welcomed Kuwait's decision to become a member of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), marking a significant step towards collaboration in developing and deploying low-carbon growth trajectories and fostering sustainable energy solutions. New Joint Working Groups (JWGs) have been set up in areas of trade, investments, education and skill development, science and technology, security and counter-terrorism, agriculture, and culture, in addition to the existing JWGs on health, manpower and hydrocarbons. Both sides emphasised on convening the meetings of the newly-formed Joint Commission on Cooperation (JCC) and the JWGs under it at an early date to further expand bilateral cooperation across various fields. Besides the MoU on defence, the executive programme on cooperation in the field of sports for 2025-2028 and the Cultural Exchange Programme (CEP) for 2025-2029, were also signed. The CEP will facilitate greater cultural exchanges in art, music, dance, literature and theatre, cooperation in preservation of cultural heritage, research and development in the area of culture and organising of festivals. The executive programme, meanwhile, will strengthen bilateral cooperation in the field of sports between India and Kuwait by promoting exchange of visits of sports leaders for experience sharing, participation in programmes and projects in the field of sports, exchange of expertise in sports medicine, sports management, sports media, sports science, among others.

Canada has again breached its years-long policy and voted in support of a United Nations motion critical of Israel, based on concerns about the viability of a two-state solution. "The dynamics in the broader region show very clearly that conflict management, as opposed to genuine conflict resolution, is not in fact a sustainable path to peace, security and prosperity," Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, told a UN plenary Tuesday. For years, Canada backed Israel in votes at the international body, but the federal Liberals changed that policy a year ago, citing concerns over policies that undermine Ottawa's decades-long policy of advocating for an eventual Palestinian country that would exist in peace alongside Israel. That change also came amid widespread concern from humanitarian groups and legal experts about Israel's compliance with international humanitarian law in its campaign in the Gaza Strip. UN member states passed a motion 157 to 8, with seven abstentions, reaffirming the illegality of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories and condemning the use of force against Palestinian civilians. The motion passed Tuesday also calls for a peace conference, and is similar to motions brought before the UN multiple times. It called out "terror against civilians on all sides" but did not name Hamas or any Palestinian militant group, drawing criticism from Israel advocates. Rae said the motion should have been more balanced, but Ottawa wanted to signal its concern about the viability of a Palestinian state. "We voted in favour of this resolution, like many, many others (did) to signal our firm commitment to the two-state solution," he said. Rae reiterated condemnation of the October 2023 attack by Hamas against Israel, and called for the return of all hostages including the body of Canadian citizen Judih Weinstein Haggai. "All Palestinians deserve to be led by a legitimate and representative government without the participation of a terrorist organization such as Hamas," Rae told the UN plenary. Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong decried today's vote as singling out Israel, writing on the platform X that supporting the motion would "reverse Canada's long-standing position on Israel." He said that a Conservative government would be "ensuring alignment with our closest democratic allies." Tuesday's vote was supported by the U.K., Japan and most European Union states. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs says the Liberals had voted against similar motions for almost a decade. "Today's reversal to vote yes instead represents an abandonment of Canada's long-standing, principled foreign policy," the group wrote on X.
