How Iran plans to go to war with the US – and win

Iran has revealed its vision for war with the United States, detailing how it would overcome the world’s most powerful military and hold the global economy to ransom.

In a detailed battle plan published by Tasnim, the news agency affiliated to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC), Iran’s leadership envisages strikes on US bases, new fronts opened up by proxy allies, cyber warfare and the paralysis of the global oil trade. Middle Eastern geography would win out against American technology, Iran insists.

King Charles heckled over Andrew and Epstein during royal visit

The King was heckled by members of the public about his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, during an official visit to Essex on Thursday.

One man was heard to ask whether the King had urged the police to investigate Andrew. Charles did not appear to hear the question, which was shouted during a walkabout with the Queen.

Another person was heard to ask whether the royal family would help with the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the paedophile financier who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019.

I don’t see an end to the Monarchy today.

Ottawa Scraps EV Mandate, Aims to Reach 90 Percent EV Adoption Through Emissions Regulations

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will abolish the electric vehicle mandate while replacing it with emissions regulations that he says will achieve a similar objective of reaching widespread EV adoption by consumers.

Carney announced on Feb. 5 that Ottawa will repeal the electric vehicle mandate that would have required automakers to produce and sell only electric vehicles by 2035. Instead, Carney said the government will put in place tougher greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for model years 2027 to 2032. The revised aim is to reach an EV adoption rate of 75 percent by 2035 and 90 percent by 2040.

As Ukrainians Grow More Weary, Giving up Land Becomes Less Unthinkable

European officials were dismissive when reports said in November that peace efforts led by the U.S. could see Ukraine giving up some of its territory to Russia. But now, polling suggests that a growing number of Ukrainians would themselves be willing to trade some land for peace.

The latest survey conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, conducted in late January, saw 40% of its 1,003 respondents say they were ready to “transfer the entire Donbas under Russian control in exchange for security guarantees.” (Although the report notes that “most” of these “admit that this is a difficult condition.”)

Authorities still dicking around about deporting Sikh trucker who killed 16 in Humboldt crash

Sikh trucker killed 16

…. A lawyer for the truck driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash says his client is one step closer to being deported to India.

Lawyer Michael Greene says Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has rejected a request for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu to stay in the country as a refugee.

No matter his lawyer is asking for a deferral while yet another refugee appeal slowly works its way through the courts.

Carson Jerema: The EV mandate isn’t being scrapped, it’s being renamed

The electric vehicle mandate that would have forced 100 per cent of all new cars sold in Canada to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035 was a typical Trudeau-era policy. It had more to do with preening self-righteousness than anything else. It sacrificed economic growth for green fantasies and was extremely paternalistic. As with most climate-change policies, the objective seemed to be more about control than actually accomplishing anything.

WARMINGTON: Toronto Police want public’s trust while they once again investigate themselves

When it comes to public trust in Toronto Police going forward, the public is in a position where you are just going to have to trust them.

In theory, the buck stop may stop at the Chief’s office when seven of his officers, and one retired cop, are charged in a conspiracy to commit murder and corruption case that saw a house of a corrections officer shot up, allegedly thanks to information leaked to hitmen.

Why Are So Many Nurses Wishing Harm To Their Political Opponents?

Social media has been abuzz for more than a week over the cruelty on display by some disturbing nurses. Marvel at how brazen these “selfless care workers” are in suggesting that colleagues let agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement just die. You may especially enjoy nurse “Chadrick13again” who sounds exactly like the stereotyped gay guy from the cartoon Family Guy but more murderous…

Why won’t we believe Islamists when they tell us they are at war with the West?

TCW has pertinently commented on how the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has restricted government funding for students studying in the UK citing ‘concerns over radicalisation and tensions linked to the Muslim Brotherhood’. You can read the articles here and here.

We note that several Muslim countries – particularly Egypt and Saudi Arabia as well as the UAE – have proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood, which they identify as a terrorist organisation. Meanwhile the Brotherhood is free to go about its business in the UK for, despite many demands from across the political spectrum that it should be banned, Sir Keir Starmer has refused and instead offered only the pseudo-reassurance that the Labour government is keeping the Brotherhood ‘under very close review’.
