US President Joe Biden, it seems, has effectively decided to sacrifice the Arabs, their interests, demands and fears in order to appease Iran.
This view, expressed by Sayed Zahra, deputy editor of the Gulf’s Akhbar Al-Khaleej newspaper, is shared by many prominent Arab political analysts who say they are extremely worried about the possibility that the US and other Western powers may sign a new nuclear agreement with Iran’s mullahs.
That’s enough, Canada. I’m outta here.
“… Here’s a question of my own: Should federal regulators even be bound to some weird “anti-racism strategy” for Canadian broadcasting? I don’t really know, because I’m not sure what Team Trudeau even means by “anti-racism.” The “anti-racist” instruction materials developed for Global Affairs Canada define “racism” in terms you won’t encounter in the definitions of any presentable dictionary: Only “white people” can be racist.
According to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, also lavishly funded by Heritage Canada’s Anti-Racist Action Program, it’s only the extremism of the far right that’s a worry. The far left is, well, nice, and last year CAHN was whining about something Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that seemed to suggest that left-wing extremism might also be a global problem. Not so, said the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.”
I am announcing today that I will be stepping down from the positions of Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation, as well as the position of Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden. I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career.
A clear sign the GOP is going to take the Senate and will investigate Fauci, Birx, etc.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert who became a household name — and the subject of partisan attacks — during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced Monday he will depart the federal government in December after more than five decades of service.
Fauci, who serves as President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation. He was a leader in the federal response to HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases even before the coronavirus hit.
“I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career,” Fauci said in a statement, calling those roles “the honor of a lifetime.”

A man accused of vandalizing the rainbow crosswalks in Atlanta with swastikas was arrested following a standoff with police this week.
The suspect is believed to have spray-painted a swastika onto the rainbow crosswalk at 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue on two separate occasions, according to Atlanta police.
Investigators went to the suspect’s apartment at around noon on Friday. A SWAT Team was called in after the man would not respond to officers.
Russian resistance fighters were behind the car bombing that killed the daughter of an ultra-nationalist philosopher who had backed the invasion of Ukraine, a former Russian opposition MP has said.
Ilya Ponomarev, who fled to Ukraine after opposing the Kremlin’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, said a group of Russian partisan fighters known as the National Republican Army (NRA) had claimed responsibility for the bombing.
“Love from Toronto.”
“Putin … with loathing from Canada.”
“Liam from Canada says F—k you Putin.”
The rockets Ukrainian forces have been firing at the Russian army in recent weeks have carried taunting messages from Canadians.
Did the FBI raid Mar-a-Lago to retrieve letters to Trump from Korean leader Kim Jong-un? Were they looking for the letter written to Trump by Barack Obama and left inside the Resolute desk at the end of Obama’s time in the White House? According to reporting, both of those items are at the top of the list of documents the National Archive wants from Donald Trump.
Do those documents sound like they would warrant the first-ever raid on a former president’s private residence?
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been engaging in a bit of damage control since the stabbing of Salman Rushdie. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, affectionately known as “The Butcher of Baghdad,” is set to come to New York to address the United Nations, and the Iranians don’t want to make the possibility that Old Joe Biden’s ultra-woke handlers would ban him from entering the country any less remote than it is now. And so Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said Monday: “We categorically deny” any connection to the attack. “No one has the right to accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
One in four Canadians confessed to taking on debt in 2022 to pay for higher costs of living, a new survey has found. It’s a trend that has some experts sounding the alarm.
When dealing with inflation, taking on any sort of loan to help pay bills should always be a “last resort,” one expert says.
A Winnipeg Muslim family was initially told they couldn’t enter the pool because of the unsanitary, bacteria-ridden, full body-covering Islamic burqini the women were wearing.
CTV“About 10-15 minutes, the owner approached us and said that due to the burkini me and my daughter were wearing we aren’t allowed on the waterslide,” said the mother Halima Jelloul
Lilac Resort’s owner, Dan Manaigre, said he approached the family because he didn’t know what a burkini was and thought it was streetwear (It is!)– a major public health violation if worn in a pool.
“I want to apologize to the family because I just didn’t know,” said Manaigre. Manaigre has sent a memo out to all of his staff explaining what a burkini is and that they are allowed.
“Moving forward, they’ve all been told that burkini will be acceptable wear. However, they will continue enforcing no streetwear in the pool,” he said. In other words, Muslims can wear streetwear, but Christians and Jews can’t.
Should we be outraged that the Trudeau government hired someone who has said vile things about Jews, French-speaking people, and Black Americans — to name a few — to teach broadcasters not to be racist? Absolutely, but we shouldn’t be shocked.
“Your Kindness Could Kill.”
That’s the sobering message of the sign that has stood outside the horse paddock at Driftwood Acres in Stephenville, N.L., since one of the farm’s endangered Newfoundland ponies, Little Catalina, died after being overfed apples by passersby.
Little Catalina’s death is heartbreaking not only because it was preventable but because the people who killed her almost certainly thought they were helping her.
If there’s something we can all learn from this sad event, it’s that doing the right thing requires more from us than just good intentions.
Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator under the Trump administration, said having to lean on data coming out of Europe during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was an “indictment of our system.”
Birx applauded recent efforts to overhaul the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in an interview that aired Sunday, saying the U.S. system failed to provide real-time data in the early days of the pandemic. The health expert has long been critical of data coming from the CDC during her tenure for not being comprehensive and behind other countries.
A new report by University of Toronto (U of T) researchers found that almost six million Canadians experienced food insecurity in 2021.
The Household Food Insecurity in Canada 2021 study, led by U of T nutritional sciences professor Valerie Tarasuk’s research group PROOF, used data from 54,000 households in Statistics Canada’s Canadian Income Survey.
The report found that 5.8 million people, including 1.4 million children, lived in households facing food insecurity. The total number amounts to the equivalent of 15.9% of households across the 10 Canadian provinces.
The town of Volosovo, near St Petersburg, is booming. Not the economy – it’s the loudspeakers.
Like many towns in Russia, Volosovo has them installed on tall poles that line the main street. Traditionally they are used for playing patriotic music during national holidays. Now, though, they have a different purpose.
“Two volunteer artillery battalions are being formed. We invite men from 18 to 60 years old to join,” the speakers blare out.
