Better question: How long has Iran penetrated the Biden administration? Best question: How long did Iran penetrate the Barack Obama administration? Both employed Rob Malley to craft the Iran-friendly Obama and Biden policies, before he got indefinitely suspended last year over ambiguous allegations of security violations. Malley is presently under multiple investigations, with Congress demanding answers as to Malley’s activities.

Fewer Canadians Willing to Buy Electric Vehicles: Federal Research
Fewer than four in 10 Canadians now say they would consider buying an electric vehicle, marking a decline in interest since 2022, according to in-house research conducted by the department of natural resources.
“Canadians hold mixed views on zero-emission vehicles and continue to have a general lack of knowledge about these vehicles,” the report said. When asked, “Have you considered purchasing or leasing a zero-emission vehicle?” only 36 percent of respondents said ‘yes.’
Steven Van Zandt: ‘Springsteen backing the Democrats lost us half our audience’
On stage at Wembley Stadium in late July, performing alongside his childhood buddy Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt looks entirely relaxed as the E Street Band hammer out Born to Run, Dancing in the Dark and The Rising to 90,000 fans. Twenty-four hours later, on stage at a screening theatre in Soho after the premiere of Disciple, an HBO documentary about his life, Van Zandt stands in front of just 100 people, many of them close friends and colleagues, and looks as if he’d rather be anywhere else.
He has long been lost to me.
‘I was repulsed’: Abuse survivor demands Liberal MP apologize after testimony ‘hijacked’ in chaotic House committee
OTTAWA — An advocate for ending violence against women is calling on a Liberal MP to apologize after shutting down her testimony during a parliamentary committee Wednesday by turning the committee’s discussion into a partisan debate over abortion.
‘Dystopian Sh*t’: Kamala Harris’ Online Support Is Well-Funded And Inauthentic, Influencers Claim
The ‘Kamala is Brat’ TikTok trend, among other viral Kamala Harris meme videos, are likely an astroturfed effort by the Harris campaign and her allies to manufacture appeal to young voters, several Gen-Z online content creators told the Caller.
Almost immediately after Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee, old clips of her speaking spread online like wildfire, often adapted into memes meant to make Harris look cool or humorous. Democrats proclaimed that the videos were evidence of organic excitement about Harris, but some content creators claim they were solicited to post about Harris in exchange for money, while others say the effort looks astroturfed as opposed to being grassroots.

Hamas chief killed by bomb smuggled into his Tehran room ‘months ago’
Ismail Haniyeh, a top leader of Hamas, was assassinated on Wednesday by an explosive device covertly smuggled into the Tehran guesthouse where he was staying, according to seven Middle Eastern officials, including two Iranians, and an American official.
The bomb had been hidden approximately two months ago in the guesthouse, according to five of the Middle Eastern officials. The guesthouse is run and protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and is part of a large compound, known as Neshat, in an upscale neighborhood of northern Tehran.
Poilievre probably worse than Hitler says Star
It is time for Canadians to confront Poilievre’s assault on decency
“Have you no sense of decency, sir?”
This dramatic rebuke by lawyer Joseph Welch to U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy during a televised hearing in 1954 turned public opinion decisively against the senator’s infamous campaign to persecute his opponents with baseless accusations.
As Americans struggle to overcome a new political threat, it is time for Canadians to confront the assault on decency happening in our own country.
We live in a country where our Prime Minister in pure Maduro fashion freezes bank accounts to criminalize dissent.
A country where our PM declares us racist for questioning his society destroying mass immigration scam.
A nation where our PM taxes us to death and decrees in Great Leap Forward style ludicrous EV Mandates in the name of climate change.
We live in a Canada where our PM condones foreign interference so long as it benefits his party.
A state where our PM uses identity politics to divide and conquer so he might curry favor with ethnic vote blocs.
I have no idea what alternate reality the Star writer lives in because Trudeau’s Liberal government is the assault on decency.
Nearly 1 in 20 of all Syrians now lives in Germany, over half receive welfare
Ever since the 2015/16 migrant crisis, Syrians have arrived in Germany in ever-increasing numbers, and now number at least 972,000 at the end of 2023, according to Statista. There are 22 million Syrians living in Syria itself, meaning those in Germany represent nearly 1 for every 20 in their native country.
This is extremely rapid growth since 2014 when there were only 60,000 Syrians in Germany. Since then, the population has grown 16-fold.
Canada’s fake refugee system is overwhelmed by skyrocketing claims.
Canada’s refugee system has been the envy of the world. It’s recognized as being orderly, fair and efficient when compared to any other western country.
But as the number of asylum seekers keeps surging here — and with the queue and processing times getting longer, the beleaguered system is in desperate need of a rethink to save it from spiraling out of control and being clogged up in endless backlogs.
It’s “overwhelmed” because Trudeau treats it as just another branch of the mass immigration scam.

Anjem Choudary is only the tip of Britain’s Islamism problem
Yesterday, without ever having directed or plotted — much less committed — an act of violence, Anjem Choudary was jailed for a minimum of 28 years for terrorism offences. He was found guilty of continuing to direct the proscribed organisation, al-Muhajiroun (ALM).
