At 170 metres long, with a red hull, white painted superstructure and towering deck cranes, the Matros Koshka is difficult to miss.
But the bulk carrier – whose name means “the sailor cat” in Russian – has not been seen since it turned off its transponder in the middle of the Black Sea three weeks ago.
The vanishing ship is one of nearly a dozen Russian and Syrian flagged vessels at the centre of what Western governments believe is large-scale smuggling of looted Ukrainian grain.
The European Union is doing all it can to revive the nuclear deal and open the flow of funds to the Iranian regime, lift sanctions against Tehran, and put the ruling mullahs of the Islamic Republic on a legal path to becoming a nuclear state.
European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell recently travelled to the Islamic Republic, a “top state sponsor of terrorism” according to the State Department, in order to “reverse current tensions” and seal the nuclear deal. Apparently, Borrell succeeded at resuming the nuclear talks. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian bragged that he had “long but positive meeting” with Borrell on June 25, and added that “What is important for Iran is to fully receive the economic benefits of the 2015 accord”.
Andrew Peloso and Jeremy Regoto, the directors of the historic six-part docuseries “Trucking for Freedom,” said that unlike the legacy media, their goal was to capture what really happened on the frontlines of the 2022 Canadian Freedom Convoy trucker protests in Ottawa.
Did the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling from the Supreme Court ‘repeal’ existing bans on abortion in state statutes? Not in Texas, anyway. The state supreme court last night reversed an injunction by a Harris County judge that had blocked enforcement of the 1925 statute banning abortions.
DALLAS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Dallas Judge Chika Anyiam postponed the pre-trial hearing for Egyptian-born Yaser Said, 65, who’s accused of killing his teenage daughters, Amina and Sarah on New Year’s Eve 2007.
After Judge Anyiam said the hearing wouldn’t start on June 30, Said asked if he could read from some handwritten papers he was holding. The judge then asked if he had discussed what he was going to say with his attorney. After a brief discussion, Said didn’t make any statements and was escorted out of the courtroom.
A recent episode of the Disney+ PG-rated animated children’s cartoon Baymax! features a man asking another man out on a date. Previously, the show included a transgender “man” who menstruates and gives advice on which maxi pad to buy.
A new website aims to expose the Biden Administration’s corrupt White House and its dealings that have led the country to go down like the Titanic.
“Inside Biden’s Basement” is an organization created to pull back the curtain on the government and reveal the real people and their motives behind the smoke screens.
A recently rediscovered video shows Joe Biden as a 2020 presidential candidate inexplicably declaring, “I don’t count drunk driving as a felony,” to the astonishment of his stunned interviewers.
Three Kentucky police officers and a police canine were killed and at least four other officers were hurt in a shootout at a home of what cops called a “terrorist on a mission.”
Lance Storz, 49, was taken into custody after an almost five hour standoff with officers who had showed up at his door in rural Prestonburg with a warrant for his arrest in a domestic violence incident, according to reports.
Storz, who was armed with a rifle, opened fire and hit two officers in the Thursday evening incident, Kentucky State Police said.
The sound of shackles as Ghislaine Maxwell entered the courtroom will stay with Sarah Ransome for ever. “The shame and guilt you feel after being raped is deafening. I have been shamed for 16 years. So to hear those shackles was basically like me putting my middle finger up to every single one of those people who have ever called me names, who doubted me and made me doubt myself,” she says. “It was a reality check on the severity of what she has actually done, not only to me, but to so many others.”
For Canada day a bunch of Pallies decided to share their views on Israel at a Thornhill strip-mall populated in part by Jewish owned businesses.
CPC MP Melissa Lantsman posted the first two videos below, an “Arab” voice posted the 3rd.
How is it possible to support mass immigration from Muslim states and not expect the Israel-Islam conflict to be played out in our streets?
During the decade following 911 both the LPC and CPC colluded to double the Islamist population in Canada from 500K to 1 Million roughly. Bear in mind that Harper was in power for most of that period.
That number has only increased.
Do our politicians and bureaucrats assume our magic Canadian soil will nullify the supremacist nature of Islam?
The protesters in the video are probably born in Canada and that means they have been indoctrinated here in the land of peace, order and good government to hate Israel, Jews and the rest of us in general.
Their hate is no longer imported, it has taken root here.
Is our political class even aware of what Islamists are doing to Europe? In cities across that continent the authorities have lost control of their streets and Muslim enclaves now form parallel societies.
What lays behind this seeming ignorance? Are they stupid? Evil? Or both?
Surely they can’t claim to live such busy & or sheltered lives that the goings on in Europe escaped their attention.
They certainly aren’t naïve. Naivete implies innocence and I’m not buying that for a minute.
Any politician who expresses “shocked surprise” over such incidents is lying and unfit to govern.
Sadly we will have to get used to it my fellow Canadians. We are following Europe’s path and it never gets better.
They murder Jews there.
Happening now: Protesters screaming free Palestine, yelling anti-Semitic slurs and intimidating Jews in #Thornhill outside a plaza of mainly kosher establishments. This is NOT anti Zionism —it’s a blatant act of #antisemitic hate which must be condemned by everyone. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/T7eyzIJC14

Thank you to @YRP for acting swiftly, clearing the scene and taking this seriously.
Trust this antisemitic hate parade in our community is punished by the fullest extent of the law. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/aBiPGmnCiz

The Pallie perspective
Think again. The growing numbers on the other side of the protest became an angry mob and the so-called “JDL” was there inciting violence. The young man was taken away for his safety. pic.twitter.com/gzRqVNKESL

Adam Westland knows cars and trucks. His friends call him a “petrolhead” — someone who’s obsessed with vehicles.
And so when Julie, his wife, looked out their Toronto window in December and shouted — “Adam, the truck’s gone” — he swung into action. It was a few days before Christmas, and they were about to drive to Prince Edward County to see family.
Using the state-of-the-art tracker he’d installed, Adam precisely located his Ford F-150 Raptor pickup while on the phone to Toronto police. What happened next is becoming a common occurrence in Toronto. The police did not show up.
In a nutshell work on the assumption that your vehicle and its contents are a write-off and hope your insurance company will make it all better.
An investigation into accusations that Meghan Markle bullied royal aides has concluded. But the findings are being kept under wraps, allegedly because Buckingham Palace is “terrified” of antagonizing Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, who’ve routinely trashed all-things royal.
Rumors of Meghan’s alleged bullying leaked last year, around the same time as the ex-royals’ much-talked about interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Federal government to transfer willing asylum seekers from Roxham Road to Ontario
Fewer asylum seekers crossing at a popular, unofficial border point south of Montreal will be staying in Quebec, Radio-Canada has learned.
That’s because Ottawa has accepted a repeated request from the provincial government to transfer some people directly to Ontario — if they wish to go there.
With record numbers of claimants currently crossing via the makeshift border point, called Roxham Road, the federal government said it’s working to alleviate some of the pressure on Quebec to provide temporary resources and accommodation for people.
Just what we need in the midst of a housing crisis. No word from Ford on this.
Chief public health officer Theresa Tam says the racist, misogynistic abuse she’s faced during the pandemic have been a source of personal difficulty, and underscore the growing threat posed by the proliferation of misinformation about COVID-19.
“Being a visible woman from a visible minority background, if you like, was very difficult because of all the disinformation about origins of viruses and the politicization … of all of the beginnings of the pandemic, was quite difficult, as you can imagine,” Dr. Tam said.
So now she’s playing the race card. What a surprise.
