Hunter Biden received $260K from Beijing during dad’s campaign — with Joe’s address on wire: Comer

First son Hunter Biden received two wire transfers from Chinese nationals worth a total of $260,000 months after dad Joe began his 2020 presidential campaign — and with the elder Biden’s Delaware home listed as the beneficiary address, a key House Republican said Tuesday.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) revealed financial records that his panel subpoenaed turned up the transfers in July and August 2019.

The revelation is another blow to President Biden’s insistence that he had no knowledge or discussion of his only surviving son’s foreign business interests.

Parliament’s Nazi scandal a ‘top headline story’ for Russian propaganda news

OTTAWA — On Tuesday, a Russian embassy account posted online that Ukraine was issuing stamps with the face of Yaroslav Hunka, who received a standing ovation in the House of Commons before it was revealed he served in a Nazi unit during the Second World War.

The “completely false” post from Russia’s U.K. embassy uses a fabricated stamp and is an example of how Russia is already using the incident for its own purposes, said Marcus Kolga, senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

Arms makers are getting orders for weapons being put to the test on the battlefield

MINKIVKA, Ukraine—The Ukrainian crew of a high-tech German artillery system can shoot three shells within seconds that will simultaneously hit the exact same spot more than 25 miles away.

That is, when the big gun hasn’t broken down.

The Panzerhaubitze howitzer is part of an arsenal of weapons being put to the test in Ukraine in what has become the world’s largest arms fair.


Panzerhaubitze meets Rasputitsa or someone didn’t read their history – “However, the howitzer has a vulnerability to environmental conditions. The equipment’s sensitive electronics are prone to malfunction when exposed to moisture or dirt, requiring soldiers to wear special booties or slippers inside.“

Why Did Trudeau Dawdle on Chinese Election Meddling?

After months of resisting the idea, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a major public inquiry tasked with investigating how China has meddled in Canadian politics.

The reversal, amid miserable domestic polling numbers and intense pressure from the opposition parties and media, comes after more than a year of revelations about Beijing’s efforts to interfere in Canada—largely to the advantage of Trudeau’s Liberal Party.

Pope Francis in Marseille: A Guilty Blindness

There is a yawning gap between the irenic aspirations defended by the Pope and the painful day-to-day reality of European citizens who have to absorb the migratory flow.

Pope Francis has just completed a few days’ visit to Marseille for the third “Rencontres Méditerranéennes”. The aim of this mediatised visit was for the Pope to promote an unconditional welcome for migrants—a highly political message that was not always well received.

Pope Francis had announced his intentions ahead of his visit: he was coming “to Marseille, not to France.” It was a way for him to emphasise that he was not coming for a simple protocol visit to meet French Catholics and their leaders—in which case he would certainly have gone to Paris—but that he intended to place the Mediterranean, the site of the migratory battle in Europe, at the centre of his communication.

Target to close nine stores across four states because of theft and crime

Target Corp. will shutter nine stores across four states on Oct. 21 because of theft and crime, the company announced Tuesday.

Target said it made the “difficult decision” to close the stores — which include locations in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, Seattle, Portland and the San Francisco Bay Area — after the Minneapolis-based company tried ineffective theft-preventive measures.

National Muslim Group Asks Trudeau to Apologize for ‘Inflammatory’ Comment on Parents’ Rights Protest

A pan-Canadian Muslim group is asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and others to retract and apologize for their comments made with respect to the March for Children on Sept. 20, saying they used their influence to “unjustly demonize families” and “alienate countless students.”

The Muslim Association of Canada issued a statement on the platform X on Sept. 25, saying it “strongly condemns remarks on recent protests made by certain politicians, including our Prime Minister, as well as statements from school boards, unions, and reports from some media outlets.”

This is hilarious. The Muslim Brotherhood is demanding Trudeau apologize. I wonder if Junior’s Islamophobia Tsar will demand he resign.
