Black Lives Matter founder in Illinois caught brawling with female worker who accused him of misusing money

A Black Lives Matter founder in Illinois was caught on camera in a violent office confrontation with a female worker who accused him of misusing the organization’s money, a report said.

The violent clash erupted into shoving, grabbing and a physical struggle along a corridor at the group’s headquarters, according to a police report.

Police in Waukegan, Illinois, were called to the Black Lives Matter Lake County Resource Center on January 12 after reports of a battery involving the group’s founder, Clyde J. McLemore, and project manager Nyesha A. Hill.

Pierre Poilievre proposes new anglophone alliance that excludes Donald Trump’s America

OTTAWA—Canada should align its trade and labour regulations with three of its “like-minded” anglophone allies in a partnership that would exclude the U.S., says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Speaking in London at the Institute of Directors, a British business group, Poilievre on Tuesday revived an idea previously embraced by past Conservative leaders that Canada should strengthen its ties with its anglosphere cousins that share the British Westminster parliamentary system.

Not a nation among the lot that is a ‘powerhouse’.

Israel Is Blowing Up Iran’s Police State to Clear the Way for a Revolt

Airstrikes have targeted organizations responsible for suppressing protests and cracking down on separatists; analysts are skeptical the strategy will work

TEL AVIV—Israel’s military is targeting the Iranian police state that brutally suppressed protests and killed thousands of people, with the hope of clearing the way for a popular revolt to overthrow the Islamic government.

Israeli airstrikes have targeted people responsible for internal security, from members of the Basij paramilitary force to senior intelligence officials, the Israeli military said. The U.S. has also hit some domestic-security agencies, including the Tehran headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the powerful group responsible for defending and perpetuating the regime.

The Revolutionary Guard and Basij militants were the main perpetrators of the bloody crackdown against antigovernment protesters in January. They opened fire on crowds, killing thousands in one of the deadliest acts of political crackdowns worldwide in decades. Police units and intelligence services also suppressed rallies and arrested protesters en masse.

Iran war: Why is Russia not coming to Tehran’s aid?

The beleaguered Iranian regime, with very few international allies, has been counting on Moscow’s support amid the ongoing US-Israeli strikes, but so far it has been left deeply disappointed.

Just hours after Israeli and US bombs started hitting Tehran on Saturday, Russia came out with a blunt statement, with the country’s permanent representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, calling it an “unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state.”

Moscow is one of Tehran’s few but staunchest allies, and a possible collapse of the Iranian regime could be a blow for its geopolitical and economic interests. Then why has it not come to Tehran’s rescue?

Child poverty rising for third straight year in Canada, report says

Child poverty in Canada rose for a third consecutive year in 2025, with nearly 30,000 more children falling below the poverty line, according to the latest Child and Family Poverty Report Card.

The report says progress toward eliminating child poverty is not only stalling but reversing, with rates now approaching levels last seen in 2017, signalling an erosion of gains made after the introduction of the Canada Child Benefit in 2016.

Trump voters back him on Iran – but that could change if war drags on

The US strikes on Iran may be the biggest story around the world, but in Texas – where voters head to the polls on Tuesday to select the Democratic and Republican nominees in November’s midterm congressional elections – it appears mostly to be an afterthought. At least for now.

At a banquet hall in the central Texas town of Waco on Monday, Ken Paxton, the Republican state attorney general running for the US Senate, made a pitch to voters that was heavy on domestic red meat for his conservative audience


Makes you wonder who the intended recipients of this statement really were … Trump says Iran strikes were “last best chance” to take out missiles, nuclear threat

No time for truth in this reset with India

Mark Carney left on a trip to India last Thursday but there has simply been no time to field reporters’ queries.

The Prime Minister cancelled the press conference scheduled for Monday, when embarrassing questions were to be posed, because his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ran long and his flight to Australia couldn’t be delayed and well, there was no time.

Oh no! Just when the PM was going to be asked if India is still involved in foreign interference in Canada, in the midst of a trip where he’s supposed to be patching up strained relations.

Inside Israel’s plan to kill Ayatollah Khamenei

A network of operatives infiltrated the dictator’s inner circle. After months of watching and listening, Mossad jammed his bodyguards’ phones and the jets struck

The meeting between Iran’s supreme leader and some 40 officials took place every Saturday morning at Ali Khamenei’s office and principal residence in Tehran. It gave Israel an hour-long window to close in for the kill before he returned to one of his two bunkers deep beneath the ground.

At about 6am on Saturday — a symbolic day and time as this was when Hamas launched its October 7 attack — Israel enacted a plan that was years in the making. It was made possible by a network of intelligence officials that built a near-omnipresent picture of where the 86-year-old was and who he was with at all times.

From rupture to rapture: The curious case of Carney’s endorsement of Trump’s war

“I just endorsed it a little”

In a move that surprised observers at home and abroad, Prime Minister Mark Carney issued this weekend an unqualified endorsement of U.S. President Donald Trump’s military attack on Iran. For a leader who has cultivated an image of sober, multilateral statesmanship, Carney’s decision to break with Europe—and with his own recently articulated foreign policy doctrine of middle power cooperation—begs the question of what exactly is Canada’s foreign policy almost one year into his premiership.

Paints a portrait of a very cynical Carney.

RETURN TO SENDER — 60 million more Indian immigrants? India’s dream is Canada’s nightmare

No, Canada will not take 60 million more Indians. Let’s send the 2.8 million we have back to India.

If you needed proof that the federal Liberals have completely lost the plot on immigration, look no further than the statements coming from India’s High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh K. Patnaik.

In a recent interview with CBC News, Patnaik suggested that because of our “complementary economies,” Canada should be eager to welcome an additional 60 million Indians.

Let that number sink in for a moment. Sixty million.
