Vivian Bercovici: Iran could fall any day, and Carney could not be more irrelevant

SDEROT, Israel — On Feb. 1, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, stood at the top of the stairs of an Air France jet that had just landed in Tehran. This stern, robed man had been whisked from his country villa provided by the French government (then led by President Valery Giscard d’Estaing) to a waiting jet. During his 14 years in exile, Ayatollah Khomeini was treated reverentially by the French. Before descending the stairs, the 40 year old cleric paused, triumphantly.


I think Carney is where he wants to be.

Shoring up the Muslim vote and waiting for profitable opportunities to arise.

Israel will become less viable for business as it becomes increasingly isolated and subject to additional sanctions while the Islamic world will open to their new BFF Carney.

Sword attack at Brandon high school was racially motivated act of hate, police say

The sword attack at a Brandon high school last week was a targeted and racially motivated assault, police say.

“The offender planned the attack and the perpetration of violence against targets chosen specifically based on race — targeting people of colour and immigrants. It was a deliberate, senseless, targeted act of hate,” Chief Tyler Bates said in a statement posted on the police service’s Facebook page on Friday.

McTEAGUE: Carney’s exercise in stupidity

This past Tuesday, the Conservative Party put forward a motion in parliament calling on the Liberal government to immediately end their ban on gas-and-diesel driven Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, which will take full effect in 2035.

Arguing for the motion, Melissa Lantsman rightly said, “Nobody is denying people the choice to drive an electric car. There is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is the government mandating that everybody drive an electric car.”

Unfortunately for all of us, MPs voted 194-141 to keep the EV mandate in place.

Jihad in Texas – Are enough Texans listening?

A year and a half ago I moved my family from California, where I had spent my entire adult life, to Texas. We left for the same reason as hundreds of thousands of other people in recent years: the state that should be paradise on earth had become, thanks to Democrat mismanagement – intentional, some might say – a Third World cesspit where a middle-class lifestyle was affordable only for the wealthy. My wife and I chose Texas for a variety of reasons; we knew it wasn’t paradise either, but it was definitely higher ground. Now I’m beginning to wonder if we were wrong about that.

Are Popular Abortion Pills Poisoning Americans’ Tap Water?

It is well established that the abortion drug regimen is harmful for women and fatal for unborn babies. A new letter to the Environmental Protection Agency, however, asks it to probe whether mifepristone pills and their “endocrine-disrupting effects” pose a danger to all Americans and even animals due to their potential contamination of U.S. drinking water.

In their request to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Sen. James Lankford and Rep. Josh Brecheen ask the regulatory agency to consider “evaluating the potential contaminant effects of this drug as the agency develops the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 6 (UCMR 6).”

73 Percent of Canadians Support Cross-Country Pipeline Project: Survey

Nearly three-quarters of Canadians would back a national energy corridor and pipeline extending from Alberta to Eastern Canada, a new survey suggests.

Fifty-one percent of the 1,120 Canadian adults surveyed by Nanos between June 1 and June 3 “support” a cross-country pipeline, while 22 percent indicated they “somewhat support” the concept.

Twelve percent of respondents said they “oppose” the idea of a pipeline while another 12 percent were “somewhat opposed” to the idea, the survey found. Three percent of Canadians polled said they were “unsure.”

The Elites Lose Narrative Control

The state is losing control over the dominant narratives in the competition of prevailing stories. Its apparatus of power responds predictably invasively and reveals its hostility toward dissenting opinions.

The German Bundestag’s Vice President Bodo Ramelow calls for stricter control of social media. “The platforms must be regulated,” Ramelow warns, demanding that operators “be held liable for what happens on their platforms.” In view of the “coarsening of language and writing” in the digital space, he advocates clear identity verification of users.

Britain’s housing crisis has shredded the social contract

The failure to provide plentiful, quality and affordable housing is a damning indictment of the political class.

In Britain today, trust between the people and those who rule us is now on life support. The social contract – an implicit agreement between citizens and state, where the former obeys the laws of the latter in return for the provision of certain, basic needs – lies in tatters. Nothing illustrates the severity of this breakdown as clearly as the housing crisis.

Vermont lawmaker resigns to move to Canada, citing financial insecurity and political fears

Sports a “She Persisted” tattoo when clearly she did not.

BURLINGTON, Vt. — When Mari Cordes discovered Vermont during a bike trip in 1982, the Michigan native thought she’d never leave.

“Vermont was the first place that felt like home,” she said. “And it still does.”

But Cordes, a Democrat who has served for seven years in the Vermont House of Representatives, resigned Thursday ahead of a planned move to Canada on July 4 — what she’s taken to calling her own Independence Day. A cardiovascular critical care nurse, Cordes has secured a job at a hospital in rural Nova Scotia.


Financial insecurity? You mean she’s looking forward to it?

The controversial trans activist tearing her own community apart: Trans women say influencer Lilly Tino’s ‘rage-baiting’ posts are putting them at risk

Trans activist Lilly Contino has been condemned by trans women for putting the already marginalised community at risk of even greater ‘harm and malice’ by reinforcing negative stereotypes in ‘ragebait’ clips on TikTok.

The most recent controversy stemmed from a viral post that included mirror selfies of the 31-year-old as she ‘rated’ the women’s bathrooms at Disney World in Florida – and has spiralled into a call for Lilly to be ‘banned’ from TikTok and the amusement park.

A Change.org petition started by a ‘concerned parent’ has received over 500,000 signatures at the time of writing, as its creator urged the platform to ‘carefully evaluate Lilly Tino’s presence’ on it.

Who Will Own the ‘God Molecule’?

Psychedelics devotees are racing biotech entrepreneurs to turn 5-MeO-DMT into a pharmaceutical.

Beckley Park, a country estate in Oxfordshire, lies at the end of a narrow drive that winds through pastures and farmland, flanked, for the last several hundred feet, by squat concrete mushrooms. The house, an austere brick building with three gabled towers, partially encircled by the remnants of three ancient concentric moats, was built in the 16th century as a hunting lodge for British aristocrats. From the front, it resembles “a fairy-tale castle,” as House & Garden magazine once noted, but from the side it is curiously narrow, only one room deep, and looks as though it might topple over. Around it, enormous hedges and topiaries crowd together, towering over visitors’ heads in dreamlike forms: hallucinogenic spirals, a bear, a tilted top hat.

I arrived on a gloomy morning last June. The owner of the estate was Lady Amanda Feilding, a countess in her 80s, who was often described in the international press as “the hidden hand behind the psychedelic renaissance.” With an unusual devotion to LSD, she’d spent decades orchestrating the revival of legitimate psychedelic science. She was also notorious for her advocacy of trepanation, an ancient surgical procedure in which holes are drilled into one’s skull, once thought to release evil spirits and relieve pressure from brain swelling. In 1970, influenced by a Dutch lover who believed, dubiously, that such holes induce a permanent high, Feilding was filmed boring into her own forehead with a dentist’s drill while on acid, smiling exultantly as blood streamed down her face. She later ran for Parliament twice — in 1979 and 1983 — on the platform that trepanation be made freely available on the National Health Service.

This sounds like a fun trip.

Think tank warns indigenous claims are “out-of-control”

Indian Money Dance

A new report from the Fraser Institute has raised alarms about the escalating costs and inefficiencies of Canada’s specific claims process.

Specific Claims: An Out-of-Control Program, penned by Tom Flanagan, Professor Emeritus at the University of Calgary, details how the federal government’s handling of Indigenous claims has led to a surge in settlements, with $7.1 billion paid out in fiscal year 2024/25 alone.

Flanagan argues that the process has become a “perpetual motion machine” generating ever-larger claims with little transparency.
