G. Gordon Liddy, the brash political operative who helped orchestrate the 1972 Watergate burglary, reportedly died on Tuesday at his daughter’s Virginia home. He was 90.
One of Liddy’s sons, Thomas Liddy, confirmed his death to the Washington Post. It was not immediately known how Liddy died, but his son said it was not coronavirus related.
Maybe it’s not a full-fledged farce, but nothing happened in this investigation that didn’t have the tacit approval of an authoritarian government
Even in liberal democracies with a free press, attempting to probe the origins of a massive catastrophe can be a messy affair. The 9/11 Commission, for instance, took two years and thrice had to exercise its powers of subpoena (each time against a U.S. government agency). Even then, some of the commission’s conclusions have since attracted criticism for relying on flawed testimony from U.S. intelligence.
By contrast, the WHO-led investigation into COVID-19’s origins was a team of 17 Chinese scientists and 10 non-Chinese investigators that spent two weeks conducting interviews under the constant supervision of the People’s Republic of China.
HUNTER Biden confesses in a new book that his wife filed for divorce after she discovered he was having an affair with his brother’s widow.
The president’s 51-year-old son began his secret relationship with Hallie Biden after his older brother, Beau, died of brain cancer in May 2015.
… Canada is contributing $49.5 million, which will go toward providing “nutritional assistance for communities affected by the war, as well as primary health care and sexual and reproductive health and rights services,” according to a statement from Global Affairs Canada.
“Canada’s aid will also provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene kits to families.”
San Diego parents who are fighting in court to get their kids back in school in person are now outraged to learn that kids who just came over the border are getting in-person instruction from some of the very teachers union members who have said the COVID-19 pandemic is too dangerous for in-person learning.

OTTAWA —Just as 1.5 million doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Canada Tuesday new guidelines will restrict the number of people who can take it, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to trust the science and accept the first vaccine they are offered.
Public health officers across the country suspended the use of the Astrazeneca vaccine in people under the age of 55 over concerns the vaccine might cause rare, but serious and potentially fatal blood clots. Canada has already received 500,000 doses of the vaccine and a further 1.5 million were on route from the United Stated on Tuesday.
America’s jihadists were never an immigration problem. The biggest jihadist terror threat US faces today is ‘homegrown’
The American counter-terrorism establishment is shocked to know that its current terrorist threat, contrary to conventional wisdom, is not foreign but “a large majority of jihadist terrorists in the United States have been American citizens or legal residents.”
A terror threat assessment by NewAmerica, a think tank comprehensive, up-to-date source of online information about terrorist activity in the United States and by Americans overseas since 9/11, reported: “While a range of citizenship statuses are represented, every jihadist who conducted a lethal attack inside the United States since 9/11 was a citizen or legal resident except one who was in the United States as part of the US-Saudi military training partnership.”
The liberal elite’s failure to defend the Batley Grammar schoolteacher is a black mark against this nation.
The father of the Batley Grammar schoolteacher who was suspended for the supposedly blasphemous offence of showing his pupils an image of Muhammad has spoken to the Daily Mail. It makes for distressing reading. His son is an ‘emotional wreck’, he says. He ‘keeps breaking down and crying and says it’s all over for him’. Worse, he fears for his life. He fears for his family’s lives.
Facebook is not ruling out banning Canadians from sharing news on its platform and says it will voluntarily report revenues and promote journalism in the country ahead of what could be a contentious regulatory battle with Ottawa.
The company made the controversial decision to remove news sharing on its platform in Australia just as that country moved to make digital platforms pay news organizations for content.
“It is never going to be something that we would want to do, unless we really have no choice,” said Kevin Chan, Facebook Canada’s public policy director, during testimony at the House of Commons heritage committee on Monday.
The Palestinian Central Elections Commission (CEC) recently announced that any Palestinian who wants to run in the upcoming general elections “must not be convicted of a crime or felony against honor or integrity.”
That is, of course, unless the “crime” includes murdering a Jew or involvement in terrorism.
The announcement aims to prevent Mohammed Dahlan, an arch-rival of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, from presenting his candidacy for the presidential election, set to take place on July 31.
Cyber-security companies are warning about the rise of so-called ‘extortionware’ where hackers embarrass victims into paying a ransom.
Experts say the trend towards ransoming sensitive private information could affect companies not just operationally but through reputation damage.
It comes as hackers bragged after discovering an IT Director’s secret porn collection.
The targeted US firm has not publicly acknowledged that it was hacked.
In its darknet blog post about the hack last month, the cyber-criminal gang named the IT director whose work computer allegedly contained the files.
The Islamic State group said Monday it had seized the coastal town of Palma in northern Mozambique, after days of fighting.
“The caliphate’s soldiers seize the strategic town of Palma” following a three-day attack against military and government targets that killed dozens, the group said in a statement on its Telegram channels.
The jihadist group’s claim came after thousands of survivors of coordinated jihadist attacks in the town fled on boats to the provincial capital, Pemba, according to sources in the city.
What’s behind the conflict?
The region has long experienced instability, but the insurgency involving Islamist militants began in 2017.
Local al-Shabab militia operating in the area are believed to have links to the wider Islamic state group (IS).
High levels of poverty and disputes over access to land and jobs have contributed to local grievances.
But Cabo Delgado’s importance for the government, and a further reason for local frustrations, lies in the rich off-shore natural gas reserves being explored in collaboration with multinational energy companies.
A little-known private investment firm with estimated total Friday positions of over $100 billion saw its wealth evaporate Monday, damaging large investment banks.
“Archegos Capital Management,” a firm set up as a family office to reportedly bypass regulation, did not meet its margin commitments, CNN reported. This led to a forced liquidation of its positions worth $20 billion, an enormous shock that plunged the stocks of ViacomCBS (VIACA) and Discovery (DISCA) by more than 25%.
