Tulsi Gabbard now says Iran could produce nuclear weapon ‘within weeks’

Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons “within weeks”, months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them.

The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony – in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons – had been taken out of context by “dishonest media”.

Her change of position came after Donald Trump said she was “wrong” and that intelligence showed Iran had a “tremendous amount of material” and could have a nuclear weapon “within months”.

The reason Trump is spending as little time as possible at the Nato summit

Donald Trump will spend as little time as possible on European soil next week when he heads to a crucial Nato summit for just 24 hours.

He was set to arrive in The Hague on Monday evening before returning to Washington on Wednesday, but the White House says he will now arrive on Tuesday.

A week after he left a meeting of the G7 in Canada early, apparently irritated at having to sit through a meeting on wildfires when his mind was on the Middle East, it will raise fears among allies that he has no time for the sorts of summits that underpin international diplomacy.


This is what he wants everything else is just Blah Blah.

His new schedule means he will still arrive in time for a leaders’ dinner and will attend a session devoted to discussing allies’ efforts to spend the equivalent of five percent of their gross domestic product on defence.

“He wants to see that happen,” said Ms Leavitt.

Vivian Bercovici: Iran could fall any day, and Carney could not be more irrelevant

SDEROT, Israel — On Feb. 1, 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, stood at the top of the stairs of an Air France jet that had just landed in Tehran. This stern, robed man had been whisked from his country villa provided by the French government (then led by President Valery Giscard d’Estaing) to a waiting jet. During his 14 years in exile, Ayatollah Khomeini was treated reverentially by the French. Before descending the stairs, the 40 year old cleric paused, triumphantly.


I think Carney is where he wants to be.

Shoring up the Muslim vote and waiting for profitable opportunities to arise.

Israel will become less viable for business as it becomes increasingly isolated and subject to additional sanctions while the Islamic world will open to their new BFF Carney.

Sword attack at Brandon high school was racially motivated act of hate, police say

The sword attack at a Brandon high school last week was a targeted and racially motivated assault, police say.

“The offender planned the attack and the perpetration of violence against targets chosen specifically based on race — targeting people of colour and immigrants. It was a deliberate, senseless, targeted act of hate,” Chief Tyler Bates said in a statement posted on the police service’s Facebook page on Friday.

McTEAGUE: Carney’s exercise in stupidity

This past Tuesday, the Conservative Party put forward a motion in parliament calling on the Liberal government to immediately end their ban on gas-and-diesel driven Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, which will take full effect in 2035.

Arguing for the motion, Melissa Lantsman rightly said, “Nobody is denying people the choice to drive an electric car. There is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is the government mandating that everybody drive an electric car.”

Unfortunately for all of us, MPs voted 194-141 to keep the EV mandate in place.

Jihad in Texas – Are enough Texans listening?

A year and a half ago I moved my family from California, where I had spent my entire adult life, to Texas. We left for the same reason as hundreds of thousands of other people in recent years: the state that should be paradise on earth had become, thanks to Democrat mismanagement – intentional, some might say – a Third World cesspit where a middle-class lifestyle was affordable only for the wealthy. My wife and I chose Texas for a variety of reasons; we knew it wasn’t paradise either, but it was definitely higher ground. Now I’m beginning to wonder if we were wrong about that.

Are Popular Abortion Pills Poisoning Americans’ Tap Water?

It is well established that the abortion drug regimen is harmful for women and fatal for unborn babies. A new letter to the Environmental Protection Agency, however, asks it to probe whether mifepristone pills and their “endocrine-disrupting effects” pose a danger to all Americans and even animals due to their potential contamination of U.S. drinking water.

In their request to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Sen. James Lankford and Rep. Josh Brecheen ask the regulatory agency to consider “evaluating the potential contaminant effects of this drug as the agency develops the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 6 (UCMR 6).”

73 Percent of Canadians Support Cross-Country Pipeline Project: Survey

Nearly three-quarters of Canadians would back a national energy corridor and pipeline extending from Alberta to Eastern Canada, a new survey suggests.

Fifty-one percent of the 1,120 Canadian adults surveyed by Nanos between June 1 and June 3 “support” a cross-country pipeline, while 22 percent indicated they “somewhat support” the concept.

Twelve percent of respondents said they “oppose” the idea of a pipeline while another 12 percent were “somewhat opposed” to the idea, the survey found. Three percent of Canadians polled said they were “unsure.”

The Elites Lose Narrative Control

The state is losing control over the dominant narratives in the competition of prevailing stories. Its apparatus of power responds predictably invasively and reveals its hostility toward dissenting opinions.

The German Bundestag’s Vice President Bodo Ramelow calls for stricter control of social media. “The platforms must be regulated,” Ramelow warns, demanding that operators “be held liable for what happens on their platforms.” In view of the “coarsening of language and writing” in the digital space, he advocates clear identity verification of users.

Britain’s housing crisis has shredded the social contract

The failure to provide plentiful, quality and affordable housing is a damning indictment of the political class.

In Britain today, trust between the people and those who rule us is now on life support. The social contract – an implicit agreement between citizens and state, where the former obeys the laws of the latter in return for the provision of certain, basic needs – lies in tatters. Nothing illustrates the severity of this breakdown as clearly as the housing crisis.

Vermont lawmaker resigns to move to Canada, citing financial insecurity and political fears

Sports a “She Persisted” tattoo when clearly she did not.

BURLINGTON, Vt. — When Mari Cordes discovered Vermont during a bike trip in 1982, the Michigan native thought she’d never leave.

“Vermont was the first place that felt like home,” she said. “And it still does.”

But Cordes, a Democrat who has served for seven years in the Vermont House of Representatives, resigned Thursday ahead of a planned move to Canada on July 4 — what she’s taken to calling her own Independence Day. A cardiovascular critical care nurse, Cordes has secured a job at a hospital in rural Nova Scotia.


Financial insecurity? You mean she’s looking forward to it?
