Iran has arrested a young woman who defied morality police by eating in a restaurant without wearing a hijab, in an image that went viral on social media and inspired thousands of anti-regime protesters.
The photograph showed Donya Rad eating breakfast in a restaurant in Tehran, alongside a female friend who was also not wearing a headscarf.
Vice President Kamala Harris used binoculars to view North Korea from the demilitarized zone, hours after she claimed the US had a ‘strong alliance’ with the enemy.
Video of Harris’ visit to South Korean on Thursday shows the vice president, accompanied by US soldiers, marveling as she looked into North Korea.
‘There’s something about seeing it… with your own eyes,’ Harris comments. ‘And it’s so close.’
Different priorities of the two owners of Torstar, which runs the Toronto Star, one of Canada’s largest newspapers, and a host of smaller papers, became obvious not long after they bought the media giant.
Torstar employees said Jordan Bitove started showing extraordinary emotion at meetings and staff gatherings when speaking of journalism’s mission and responsibility.
As much as the Conservatives like to poke fun at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s past life as a drama teacher, there sure seemed to be an awful lot of theatre coming from the Tory benches this past week.
Members of the Conservative Party – which purports to be against cancel culture and ostentatious displays of wokeism – were utterly scandalized by a tweet that, by their telling, made them feel unsafe walking the halls of the House of Commons.
As I said this was a bad choice for the CPC, only play the Liberal games when you know you can win.

As Russia’s recent partial mobilization has shown, he is desperate
As the world wonders what happened to the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, many suspect that Russian President Vladimir Putin is behind the sabotage. At first glance, it appears strange that Russia would damage pipelines that its own companies run. But Putin has several possible reasons for carrying out the attack.
One reason could be that Gazprom (the Russian state-owned gas giant) wants to avoid paying penalties for failing to fulfill its contractual obligations. Since August 31, Russia has halted gas exports via both Nord Stream pipelines, which follows a similar move in July where the Kremlin cited erroneous maintenance issues as the cause of the short shutdown that month. Despite the ceasing of operations, Gazprom is still contracted to provide gas to European nations, and it has become clear that the cessation is a political stunt. But after the explosions disabled the pipelines, Gazprom can claim force majeure, and avoid paying for its failure to deliver gas. Claiming force majeure would not be novel either, as Gazprom already tried to do so earlier this year under similarly suspicious circumstances.
It makes money by encouraging children to mimic promiscuous adults.
Teen Vogue recently informed its young readers about the coolest backpacks to buy before going back to school. One recommendation was a child-sized butterfly bag.
On Wednesday, Teen Vogue published an article that recommended 30 sex toys to its target audience: 13- to 19-year-olds.
The Iranian government has arrested dozens of journalists reporting on the widespread unrest triggered by the death of a young woman following her arrest by authorities.
Iranian security forces have arrested at least 28 journalists and photographers since the latest wave of anti-regime protests began nearly two weeks ago, the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported this week.
The women-led demonstrations were sparked by outrage over the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini after she was arrested by the Islamic republic’s so-called morality police. Amini was arrested on September 13 for allegedly breaching Iran’s strict rules for women on wearing hijab, or headscarves, and “modest clothing.”
The Left loves to promote “reparations”—but only up until the point where history and truth run counter to its simplistic narratives about the past.
British royals expert Hilary Fordwich threw CNN host Don Lemon for a loop on Tuesday when he asked her if the British monarchy should pay reparations for colonialism and slavery.
Lemon said to Fordwich, “[Y]ou have those who are asking for reparations for colonialism, and they’re wondering, you know, ‘$100 billion, $24 billion here and there, $500 million there.’”
Russia has been seeking to expand its influence in Latin America, especially since Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine and Russia’s subsequent international isolation.
Russia’s way of enlarging its influence in Latin America is comparable to its tactics in Africa, where it has primarily sought influence through arms deals, the use of its mercenaries, election interference, and disinformation.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson’s office would not return a call from the Parliamentary Protective Service during the height of the “Freedom Convoy,” its acting director told a committee Thursday evening.
Larry Brookson, the acting director of the service, told members of Parliament and senators during a joint committee hearing that he attempted to reach out to Watson and Ottawa’s city manager during the protests that occupied downtown Ottawa for three weeks in February.
New York Times technology and regulation reporter Cecilia Kang made the front of the Business section Monday under the headline “Toxic Election Narratives Spread Tentacles on Web.”
But Kang wasn’t content with yet another “misinformation” excoriation of the theory of a “stolen election.” She conflated opinions espoused by conservatives under that same “toxic” label, suggesting that merely calling for defunding the FBI (a new proposition in some conservative circles) and the idea that LGBTQ are “grooming” children for pedophilia were also examples of dangerous misinformation…
Remember when Whoopi Goldberg engaged in Olympic-quality gymnastics on The View to defend filmmaker Roman Polanski? Polanski drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl and then fled the country to avoid prison.
Sadiq Khan was today branded ‘mean spirited’ and a ‘disgrace’ for snubbing a statue of the Queen on Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth in favour of an anti-colonialist hero and a group of transgender sex workers.
Calls have been made in recent days for the plot, currently used for a different monument every two years, to have a permanent statue of Queen Elizabeth II. However, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the plinth would continue to be used for temporary installations, as it has since 1999.
The author AN Wilson blasted Mr Khan today, telling Times Radio that an equestrian statue of the Queen ‘would look really good unlike the succession of absolute rubbish that we’ve seen stuck on that plinth over the years’.
CIA websites so flawed that even an “amateur” could find them led to the deaths of dozens of assets in China and Iran, research has found.
Security experts with the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto conducted a study into a web of “covert” U.S. websites after being tipped off by a Reuters journalist. Using only information and material publicly available, the researchers found a network of 885 websites that can be measured with “high confidence” to have been used as covert communications websites for the CIA. The Chinese and Iranian governments discovered these websites in 2011 and 2012, using them to capture and execute dozens of assets, researchers said.
