Did the FBI raid Mar-a-Lago to retrieve letters to Trump from Korean leader Kim Jong-un? Were they looking for the letter written to Trump by Barack Obama and left inside the Resolute desk at the end of Obama’s time in the White House? According to reporting, both of those items are at the top of the list of documents the National Archive wants from Donald Trump.
Do those documents sound like they would warrant the first-ever raid on a former president’s private residence?
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been engaging in a bit of damage control since the stabbing of Salman Rushdie. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, affectionately known as “The Butcher of Baghdad,” is set to come to New York to address the United Nations, and the Iranians don’t want to make the possibility that Old Joe Biden’s ultra-woke handlers would ban him from entering the country any less remote than it is now. And so Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said Monday: “We categorically deny” any connection to the attack. “No one has the right to accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
One in four Canadians confessed to taking on debt in 2022 to pay for higher costs of living, a new survey has found. It’s a trend that has some experts sounding the alarm.
When dealing with inflation, taking on any sort of loan to help pay bills should always be a “last resort,” one expert says.
Should we be outraged that the Trudeau government hired someone who has said vile things about Jews, French-speaking people, and Black Americans — to name a few — to teach broadcasters not to be racist? Absolutely, but we shouldn’t be shocked.
Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator under the Trump administration, said having to lean on data coming out of Europe during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was an “indictment of our system.”
Birx applauded recent efforts to overhaul the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in an interview that aired Sunday, saying the U.S. system failed to provide real-time data in the early days of the pandemic. The health expert has long been critical of data coming from the CDC during her tenure for not being comprehensive and behind other countries.
The town of Volosovo, near St Petersburg, is booming. Not the economy – it’s the loudspeakers.
Like many towns in Russia, Volosovo has them installed on tall poles that line the main street. Traditionally they are used for playing patriotic music during national holidays. Now, though, they have a different purpose.
“Two volunteer artillery battalions are being formed. We invite men from 18 to 60 years old to join,” the speakers blare out.

ST. PAUL, Minn.—A Pakistani doctor and former Mayo Clinic research coordinator pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge, more than two years after he was arrested for telling paid FBI informants that he pledged his allegiance to the ISIS terrorist group and that he wanted to carry out lone wolf attacks in the United States.
Proselytizing California groomers are running wild.
California parent Jessica Konen is suing her local school district for secretly indoctrinating her 6th grade daughter into the cult of transgenderism, convincing her to change her gender identity, all while urging her not to discuss the situation with her mother because she could not be “trusted.”
The brief but intense sprint of violence between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) that took place across the Gaza-Israel border earlier this month is interesting because of what did not happen during that mini-war. On the surface, the confrontation was simply the latest eruption of violence between Israel and a Palestinian terror group committed to the Jewish state’s destruction. But what appeared as a bilateral escalation had an important regional context: the PIJ was established in 1981 by Iran’s intelligence apparatus. The latter’s support of the PIJ is part of Iran’s continuous efforts to expand its influence in the Middle East at large: in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen
Today in history, on Aug. 20, 636, arguably the single most consequential battle between Islam and the West took place — that of Yarmuk. Occurring just four years after the Muslim prophet Muhammad had died, not only did the military engagement decide whether the Arabian creed thrives or dies; it became a chief source of inspiration and instruction for jihadis throughout the centuries, right down to the Islamic State. And yet very few in the West are even aware of the Battle of Yarmuk’s existence — much less how it motivates contemporary Islamic terrorists.
We grew up watching Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. and The FBI on TV.
I understand that it was a TV show, but where is Efrem when we really need him? I remember walking around Washington, D.C. on the day J. Edgar Hoover died in 1972.
He wasn’t perfect, but I had positive thoughts about the FBI when I got the news of his passing.
Car bomb attack in Moscow most likely to be a false flag attack to whip up public support and escalate war against Ukraine
Investigators had barely started picking through the crime scene when Kremlin-linked officials began blaming Ukraine for the audacious car bomb attack that killed Daria Dugina.
But Kyiv, which denied any link to the murder, may have more pressing military concerns than conducting a complex hit on the daughter of a Vladimir Putin whisperer.
Although pro-Ukraine partisan attacks have increased in occupied Kherson and Crimea in recent weeks, Moscow appears to be a big stretch for its military and intelligence capabilities.

Pierre Poilievre brought his federal Conservative leadership campaign to Dartmouth to criticize the Liberal government’s carbon tax plan, defend free speech and deride Canada’s prime minister.
Hundreds of supporters gave the Ottawa-area MP a standing ovation as he entered a crowded hotel conference room Saturday and warmly received his broadsides against the Liberal government’s policies.
China expert Gordon Chang makes the case that China is preparing for armed conflict – and could happen quite soon.
Last month, a Chinese entrepreneur making medical equipment for consumers told me that local officials had demanded he convert his production lines in China so that they could turn out items for the military. Communist Party cadres, he said, were issuing similar orders to other manufacturers.
Moreover, Chinese academics privately say the ongoing expulsion of foreign colleagues from China’s universities appears to be a preparation for hostilities.
“Vesti Nedeli,” the flagship weekly roundup of Kremlin-controlled television news, recently portrayed a long history of predatory Western powers coming to grief when they invaded Russia: Sweden in the 18th century, France in the 19th, Germany in the 20th.
Enemies now seek to reverse those losses, said Dmitry Kiselyov, the show’s host, blaming the West for the war that Russia instigated in Ukraine. The goal to finish off Russia is “centuries old and unchanging,” he said. “Here we are on the defensive.”
