Shots are being fired while Evin burns. If, God forbid, political prisoners perish, then this will be an event on the scale of the Cinema Rex fire in Abadan in August 1978 that accelerated the downfall of the Shah. #Mahsa_Amini #IranRevolution2022 pic.twitter.com/hGCiOfbRde

Empowering Mexican Cartels With Biden’s Open Border Is Even Worse Than You Think

Mexico is a war zone again. But anyone who believes that’s just Mexico’s problem, think again; American national interests are at unprecedented risk.

Cartels’ smuggling syndicates are at each other’s throats along Mexico’s northern border and in Pacific states known as the Tierra Caliente (Hot Zone) as Mexico sends in its military. The warfare has left hundreds dead and whole city blocks scorched, vehicles burning, and citizens taking shelter from hours-long gun-battles. Millions of Mexicans are readying for worse to come.

David Suzuki goes on profanity-laden rant at federal government news conference

Environmentalist David Suzuki ranted to federal government ministers, media and tourism industry workers at a news conference Friday afternoon in Vancouver.

The event was held to announce federal funding for B.C.’s tourism sector, but Suzuki took the opportunity to speak out about what he calls the government’s lack of action regarding climate change.

“All this bullshit about how you’re trying to encourage the coming together to this beautiful land, what are we doing about this land? We’re not doing the right things to ensure tourism into the future,” said Suzuki.

How far will the eco-fascists go?

The tree huggers aren’t just harmless hippies

Nothing produces true believers today quite like the environmental movement. Gluing yourself to London or pouring soup over a priceless painting is all in a day’s work. For your green stunt to stand out, you need to do something eye-catchingly disgusting such as pouring human faeces over a statue of Captain Tom.

John Ivison: Liberals make little progress on exposing nefarious foreign money

It should come as no surprise that the federal government can’t give the opposition parties any details on sanctions enforcement, since it has no idea how many of those on the sanctions list actually hold assets in Canada.

Defence chief calls on Canadians to rally behind military during personnel crisis

The commander of the Canadian Armed Forces is calling on the country to rally behind its military as it faces an unprecedented personnel crisis that he says is threatening its ability to protect and defend Canada.

“We’re here to defend our way of life, now and into the future,” Gen. Wayne Eyre, chief of the defence staff, said.

“So we need a whole-of-society effort to help us bring the Armed Forces back to where it needs to be for the dangerous world ahead.”

“Woke” is not our way of life.

Inside the Shameful Cancellation of Jihad Rehab

How an identity-politics-obsessed mob destroyed a young filmmaker’s documentary

At the beginning of director Meg Smaker’s documentary Jihad Rehab, we hear a former Guantanamo detainee saying, “Meg, can I tell you something?” Sure, a woman’s voice says. “In every story there is good and bad,” the man goes on in a gentle Saudi accent. “But . . . it’s a thin line. The American government did bad, bad, bad things against us. But at least I am honest with what I did.”

Canada has joined the club of angry, polarized countries

Who do you dislike least? That sums up our current political environment.

Canada was once heralded as an outlier in a world gripped by controversial politicians such as former U.S. president Donald Trump, Brexiteer Nigel Farage and France’s Marine Le Pen. Back in 2015, the election of Justin Trudeau and his “sunny ways” government set the country apart on the international stage.

Bill Maher says GOP voters know Herschel Walker is awful – but they support him to push back against liberal policies that let Big Tits transgender teach children

HBO ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher on Friday said the GOP backs candidates like Herschel Walker to push back against woke Democrats who continue to push their woke agenda.

‘Part of the appeal of a Herschel Walker or a Donald Trump or any number of egregious a**holes Republicans have backed is, in their mind, the worst a candidate is, the more it says to Democrats, “we don’t like what you’re selling,”‘ he said.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Georgia Senate hopeful Herschel Walker, 60, paid for a woman’s abortion in 2009 despite running on an anti-abortion political platform, and she claims he also urged her to terminate a second pregnancy.

How the West is preparing for Putin to go nuclear

A strike in Ukraine would threaten chaos at home — but one expert says it may not be as bad as we fear

Western countries are making contingency plans to deal with chaos at home in case of nuclear war in Ukraine, officials said yesterday, as the threat of a battlefield strike by President Putin grew.

The measures could include issuing leaflets on how to survive a nuclear attack or ways to ease panic buying amid fears the fallout could reach western Europe and beyond. President Putin’s threats to use nuclear weapons in recent weeks have sent alarm bells ringing across Nato, with the alliance engaging in discussions behind closed doors as to how it will respond to such an eventuality.

Oh that’s nice, we’re only gonna be irradiated just a tetch.

Nolte: Amazon‘s Woke ‘Rings of Power‘ Loses Nearly 20% of Audience

Amazon’s woke (and boring) reimagining of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Rings universe is bleeding viewers when it should be snowballing.

According to the far-left Hollywood Reporter, “The Rings of Power had 988 million minutes of viewing time in the United States from Sept. 12 to 18, per Nielsen (the show’s fourth episode debuted Sept. 16). That’s a decline of about 18 percent from the previous week’s 1.2 billion minutes.”

The series has no connection to Tolkien’s world. No one asked for a ham-fisted reimagining with Gay elves, Bad MAGA people and identity politics. No wonder people fall asleep watching, it’s just another boring batch of unpalatable leftist twaddle. A pity too as a great deal of money was invested in this. What a waste.

Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard faces years in prison for sexually assaulting young Ottawa woman

You can always count on Justin to be buds with the right people.

Jacob Hoggard is facing years in prison for sexually assaulting an Ottawa woman in her early 20s, regardless of how much of a public danger a judge finds the former lead singer of Hedley poses to the public.

The Crown is seeking a sentence of six to seven years in prison, arguing that Superior Court Justice Gillian Roberts should find that Hoggard, 38, repeatedly raped the young woman in downtown Toronto hotel room over hours in November 2016.
