Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez defends ‘endless’ benefits of her oil deal with Trump

Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has defended her government’s highly controversial energy deal with Donald Trump, insisting the South American country will maintain ownership and sovereignty over its massive oil reserves.

Rodríguez, who assumed power in January after Trump ordered the abduction of the president, Nicolás Maduro, took to the airwaves on Saturday to push back against criticism of what the US president has called “the biggest oil deal in world history”.

“The benefits are endless,” claimed Rodríguez, a former vice-president whom Trump backed after ordering Maduro’s capture during a special forces raid on the capital, Caracas.

Scott Stinson: Donald Trump gives Doug Ford the foil he desperately needed

Doug Ford had a rough spring and a summer that wasn’t going much better.

His government’s ill-advised purchase of a private jet blew a hole in his everyman persona so much that he might as well have started showing up to public events with a top hat and monocle. Spending scandals followed, solidifying the image of his governing PCs as a party that was self-satisfied, sloppy or both.

The Ontario premier’s poll numbers sagged, so much so that the PCs were behind a Liberal party that doesn’t even have a permanent leader.

Trump calls for leaders of ‘failed nation’ Iran to be tried for ‘war crimes against humanity’

WASHINGTON — President Trump publicly called Monday for Iran’s leaders to be prosecuted for “war crimes against humanity” after trashing the Islamic Republic as a “failed nation.”

“Iran is officially a Failed Nation. IT IS DEAD!” the president proclaimed on Truth Social. “They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, they have no currency, they are not paying their soldiers or police, Inflation is at 300%, and their leadership is in total disarray and incapable of properly representing the country.”
“The only thing they have is FAKE NEWS from the USA, a willingness to kill their protesters (now over 100,000 people dead. They must be tried for war crimes against humanity!), and a good line of ‘BULLS—.’”

Trump says Canada’s leaders ‘worst’ of any country as trade war escalates

President Donald Trump further ripped into Canada as the U.S. trade war with the country escalates, trashing its leadership as the “worst” of all countries he’s dealt with.

While Trump’s insults against Canada are nothing new, his descriptor of Canadian leaders as the worst is a step up, especially given it puts the U.S.’s northern neighbor below Iran, whose fanatical leadership Trump has repeatedly derided as insane and murderous. He made the recent criticisms in a Sunday post on Truth Social.

MIT student claims he synthesized one of the deadliest chemicals known to man — sparking massive hazmat response

A student at MIT claimed he synthesized one of the world’s deadliest chemicals last week — sparking a massive hazmat response and the closure of the lab where he worked.

The unidentified grad student arrived at a local emergency room, saying he had synthesized dimethyl mercury, a highly toxic compound that can be fatal if exposed to humans in even the smallest amounts, NBC Boston reported.

The student was not authorized to be working with the compound and it was not part of his research, according to school officials.

Carney Sideshow Continues – What Interesting Things We’re Learning During the Syrupean Snit Fit MORE

As everyone knows, the Canadians have their maple syrup panties in a wad and are baby-soft elbows up, warding off the evil capitalist Americans while playing the current round of ‘Trade Wars.’

It all blew up last Friday, when the Canadians inexplicably walked out on what the United States thought was a done deal – a ‘fantastic deal – the best deal in the world,’ as Commerce Secretary Lutnick said this afternoon.

Here’s the key issue: Canada was bringing in Chinese steel and aluminum and selling it as Canadian steel to help China avoid tariffs

When told to knock it off, they refused. This is why the trade deal collapsed

We cannot allow China to build a proxy state on our border

Story behind the Taliban’s most infamous execution: Mother-of-seven shot in the head in front of 30,000 spectators baying for blood after she poisoned her abusive husband

To the cries of a crowd of 30,000 in Kabul’s Olympic Stadium in Afghanistan, a panicked woman is led across the football pitch, flanked by armed guards.

As they approach the goalposts, it is another woman similarly dressed in a blue burqa who forces the 35-year-old on to her knees on the edge of the penalty area, surrounded by Taliban soldiers.

A man thought to be her brother-in-law quickly raises a Kalashnikov to her head and the sound of the 7.62mm bullet ricochets through the stadium. The woman slumps to the ground.

SMOL: Armed Forces declare secular war on God referenced in charter, national anthem

Late last month, our Canadian Armed Forces was made to culturally soil itself with yet another unnecessary, compelled woke-inspired directive. One imposed by a government hell-bent on satisfying the political prophets who claim to care about our military, but don’t.

Hotel migrants handed free condoms by the NHS

Illegal migrants living in taxpayer funded hotels are being handed free condoms by the National Health Service, the Daily Express can reveal. The news comes just days after it was this paper exposed the home office was teaching migrants not rape women.

Now it has emerged that contraceptives are sent to hotels housing immigrants at no cost to them by local health authorities. NHS England confirmed that they provided free condoms to all asylum seekers living on the taxpayers coin as part of their usual services. But critics rounded on the policy with campaigners calling it a ridiculous waste of money and urging the government to stop it.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, unchecked mass migration makes terror threats greater than ever

The Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks – which killed nearly 3,000 Americans (and other nationalities) – may seem like yesterday’s news to some, but their impact remains today.

Indeed, 9/11 was a serious warning to America and the entire West of how terrorists and other bad actors wishing us harm can easily exploit our immigration systems.

Trump calls Canada one of the ‘worst abusers,’ says he doesn’t want ‘Canadian anything’

U.S. President Donald Trump continued his rant on Truth Social Sunday afternoon, claiming he had “revived and saved” the automobile business in America via tariffs, calling Canada “one of the worst abusers.”

“One of the Worst Abusers is Canada. I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything. They’ve been ripping us off for decades, and it’s going to stop,” Trump wrote in the post.
