The Cold War did not end in Cuba so much as change patrons, technologies, and uniforms. The enormous Soviet listening station at Lourdes was closed more than two decades ago, but the infrastructure, trained personnel, intelligence culture, and geographic advantages that made the island valuable to Moscow survived under the control of a communist dictatorship that has now placed Cuban territory and technical capabilities at the service of the People’s Republic of China.
Magic Johnson’s son got a new Hermes bag and either it’s really small or he’s really big.
Either way, where do you find men’s size 17 kitten heel shoes?

Gad Saad has lived in Canada since his family fled Lebanon in 1975 after someone showed up at their home to kill them. But last month, the professor of marketing and evolutionary behavioral sciences announced on social media that he had given up on Canada and decided to leave.
“The taxation system is astounding, rendering it nearly impossible to accumulate enough money to truly retire,” Saad wrote about the first reason for his decision. It’s true. The typical Canadian pays 70 percent more in income taxes than the typical American. The second reason is far more alarming. “The government’s open immigration policies have made it unsafe for my family to remain here (due to the exponential increase in Jew-hatred),” he wrote.
We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP https://t.co/dGL15o1tIv

New York’s public transit advocacy community has launched a new attack against robotaxis. A recently published report from Open Plans and the Sam Schwartz Transportation Program leads with an alarming claim: Waymo vehicles, they assert, “have a significantly higher rate of crashes with a serious injury or fatality than the existing New York City for-hire fleet.”
The full report largely concedes the point that robotaxis are safer than the typical human driver (an earlier point of debate) and instead focuses on the comparison with for-hire services like Uber, Lyft, and yellow taxis. Concern about the impact on jobs in this sector is the main reason that autonomous vehicles remain illegal in New York.
OTTAWA — Canada’s top federal sports official says he’s “concerned” about new eligibility rules limiting Olympic women’s events to biological females, but says the changes are unlikely to stop Canada from trying to host the Olympics in the future.
Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden told reporters in Calgary on Monday that he was worried about the International Olympic Committee’s plan to roll out mandatory genetic screening for all athletes competing in the female category.
Among the many orchestrated campaigns to demonize Israel, the targeting of Israeli doctors and medical professionals under the false flag of “human rights” is one of the most transparently cynical. Specifically, the pro-Hamas lobby is circulating a mass petition calling for the expulsion of the Israeli Medical Association from the World Medical Association.
A man charged with first-degree murder in the Friday shooting of a Toronto woman was awaiting trial for an alleged intimate-partner assault against her last year.

The business of explosives is booming as Western governments unleash spending to bring production home.
At least 24 new projects are under way for propellants or explosives across NATO countries, according to information assembled by The Wall Street Journal. Three new factories are set for just Arkansas, a center of U.S. weapons production.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine four years ago exposed the West’s struggle to churn out ammunition. Although artillery-shell output has increased, producers still rely on constricted supplies of dangerous chemicals manufactured in a globe-spanning supply chain with lots of chokepoints.
Toronto Fire Chief Jim Jessop is sounding the alarm following an uptick in recent years in explosions caused by faulty lithium-ion batteries, one of which was recently caught on video.
On Sunday morning, Toronto Fire Services responded to reports of a fire in southeast Scarborough on Mayhill Crescent, just south of Lawrence Avenue East and east of Scarborough Gold Club Road.

Donald Trump hosted back-to-back White House meetings with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, as Ukraine seeks more firepower for its air defenses and the Israeli prime minister tries to repair his strained relationship with the US president.
It was Netanyahu’s first visit to the Oval Office since he and Trump launched their joint military campaign against Iran on 28 February.
Netanyahu’s relationship with Trump has been complicated in recent weeks by his push to keep fighting Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, even as Trump pursued a diplomatic opening with Tehran.
The opening of the Gordie Howe bridge promises more efficient transport between Canada and the United States — though not necessarily lower prices for consumers — trucking firms say.
The new span between Detroit, Mich., and Windsor, Ont., will make for better traffic flow, smoother security procedures and competitive toll rates that could save large trucking companies up to $100,000 a month, says Canadian Trucking Alliance CEO Stephen Laskowski, whose association represents more 4,500 carriers and suppliers.

Rosie O’Donnell sang about President Donald Trump’s “teeny tiny” penis and “dirty diapers” in a bizarre video posted to TikTok — just days after claiming the president is “obsessed” with her.
“I watched a review of the White House Correspondents’ dinner, and I wrote this little song — a parody from The Wizard of Oz — for our loving president,” O’Donnell declared in a recent video posted to social media.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” the Spanish-American philosopher George Santayana famously wrote in his 1905 work, The Life of Reason: The Phases of Human Progress. While this aphorism is commonly associated with tragic events such as the Holocaust, it can actually be applied to many moments in history.
Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Anthony Fauci privately admitted that scientists suspected the coronavirus likely stemmed from a lab leak as he publicly blasted it as a wild conspiracy theory, revelations from his diary showcase.
