The disclosure of a list of more than 150 associates of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is being delayed due to an appeal from a Jane Doe.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York will not be publicizing the list until at least Jan. 22 after a judge granted the Jane Doe a 30 day extension, NewsNation confirmed Wednesday morning.
In Canada, despite massive government subsidies of new electric vehicle purchases and EV battery plants, as well as considerable government spending on EV infrastructure, the EV market still makes up only 13.3 percent of new vehicle registrations. I write “only” 13.3 percent, but the federal government somehow managed to interpret from this statistic that in double-quick time, 100 percent of Canadians will want to drive nothing but EVs. It cited the statistic as part of its newly announced mandate that by 2035, 100 percent of new vehicle sales must be electric or plug-in hybrid. The government also announced interim targets: From 13.3 percent last quarter, EVs must account for 20 percent of the market by 2026, and at least 60 percent by 2030. Dealers who fall short of these quotas face heavy financial penalties: They must either buy EV “credits” from other automakers or pay for public EV charging stations.
At least 73 people have been killed by two bomb explosions near the tomb of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani on the fourth anniversary of his assassination by the US, Iran’s state media report.
State broadcaster Irib said another 171 people were wounded when the blasts hit a procession near the Saheb al-Zaman mosque in the southern city of Kerman.
It cited Kerman’s deputy governor as saying it was a “terrorist attack”.
A video circulated online appeared to show several bodies on a road.

Over the last several years, senior federal civil servants have repeatedly expressed their surprise at Canadians’ eroding faith in government.
Do they not get out much and speak with dissatisfied, ordinary citizens? I suppose in their vacuum-sealed social and professional worlds they encounter very few people angered by the daily intrusions of government in their personal lives.
She won’t be leading the Crimson, but green shouldn’t be a problem.
Outgoing Harvard President Claudine Gay will still likely earn nearly $900,000 a year despite being forced to resign her position as the school’s top administrator.
Political Science professor Gay — who stepped down amid a tempest of allegations she did not do enough to combat antisemitism and academic plagiarism Tuesday — will now return to a position on the Cambridge, Mass., school’s faculty.
The Big Smoke had the lowest rates of arson, robbery, impaired driving and burglary
Despite its problems, Toronto is actually a very safe place to live.
That’s according to an analysis of crime statistics by experts at Money.ca, which found cities in Ontario and Quebec placed in the top 10.
Garbage in …
It’s late 2024, and Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) are getting desperate. Maybe it’s clear Trump is going to win beyond any imaginable margin of election fraud. Maybe they realize when 140% of registered voters cast ballots nationwide, Americans are going to make the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror look like a Girl Scout picnic. Maybe all those dead voters are ready to turn state’s evidence. Either way, they’re certain they’re going to jail—or worse–and not on trumped-up political charges. It’s time for martial law!
The question is, will our military fight for Joe Biden, or whichever D/s/c wants them to imprison, torture and kill Normal Americans?
The year is only a few days old, yet it feels like we’re stuck in 2023. Russia remains at war with Ukraine. Hamas is still at war with Israel. China is meddling in Taiwan’s election. Artificial intelligence is eating our jobs. Social media is filled with rage about inflation, Palestine, trans rights and Donald Trump. It’s enough to make you hide under the covers, shut off your news feeds and watch cat videos until you fall into a fretful sleep.
The federal government is looking into creating a national plastics registry that would track the lifecycle of plastic items in the economy.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault announced Tuesday that Ottawa has launched public consultations to gather input on how such a registry could work.
“Canadians are demanding action to tackle the plastic waste and pollution crisis, and the federal government will continue to act. The federal plastics registry is an important tool that will help track and manage plastics across the economy,” Guilbeault said in a press release.
A $400-million air defence system promised almost a year ago by Canada to Ukraine has yet to be delivered as plans are still being developed.
The Liberal government announced with great fanfare on Jan. 10, 2023 that it was acquiring the advanced air defence system and associated munitions for Ukraine at a cost of $406 million.
But the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, or NASAMS, hasn’t been delivered, and plans are still being worked out, National Defence confirmed to this newspaper.
Is there no low the Liberals cannot sink to?
‘Cuckoo’ comes from a proud tradition of Ukrainian snipers — and Putin is sending poorly trained men into her crosshairs
From her stakeout a kilometre away, the Ukrainian sniper trained her rifle on the gap blasted through the colliery’s concrete perimeter, waiting for the Russians to reappear.
The 47th Brigade markswoman had fired ten .338 calibre bullets at the wall behind which five men were sheltering. One had collapsed, apparently injured, before rousing himself and limping towards cover, minus his gun. The Russian raiding party, part of a wider assault on Avdiivka, was in disarray.
You can’t replace Italians with non-Italians and still call it Italy.
Elon Musk was in Rome recently, where he was interviewed as part of the Atreju “Italian Pride” conference.
At one point, following up on his belief that the world is not overpopulated and that low birth rates are a threat to the species, Musk was asked what he makes of the argument that immigration makes up the numbers to compensate for low birth rates in the First World.
LVIV — The Japanese have a concept of forest bathing for health. Joe Rogan promotes daily ice baths for a little shock to get you going in the morning. But in Ukraine, people often experience missile-and-drone baths, and so it was in the early hours of last Friday, when Russia launched what seems to have been its biggest ever sky assault upon Ukrainian cities. It was the first major Russian attack upon Ukrainian since the summer, when Ukraine disrupted Moscow’s missile-launching Black Sea Fleet.
Since then, it’s been a brutal New Year.
Contemporary feminism has long been rife with double standards. Western feminists will eagerly express their outrage over trivial or non-existent instances of sexism, while remaining curiously silent about actual abuse – particularly if it is politically convenient to do so.
Escalation lurks on every battlefield
When asked in 2020 to envisage the world after Covid, Michel Houellebecq proclaimed, accurately enough, that “it will be the same, just a bit worse” As this year slams to a bloody close, it does not take a soothsayer to foresee that the same prediction will hold true for the coming year. The year 2023 saw the greatest global resurgence of armed conflict since 1945: 2024 will be worse. We are living, if not through a World War, then a world at war, the great post-globalisation jostling to divide up the spoils of what was once America’s unipolar imperium. This will be as epoch-defining a period as the late Forties were for Britain, or 1991 for Russia.
