A newly discovered email from 2013 discloses that the vice-director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Yuan Zhiming, is a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official who was formally in charge of international cooperation and biosafety at the Institute. The Institute is suspected to be the origin of the Coronavirus pandemic.
An FBI whistleblower warned that the bureau has been transformed from a law enforcement agency to an intelligence-gathering operation that spies on law-abiding Americans to help advance a political agenda and said thousands of agents and employees feel betrayed by the bureau’s leadership.
This week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that apprehensions of illegal immigrants surpassed 2.1 million for the fiscal year in August, with more than 203,000 apprehensions last month alone, marking six straight months of southwest border arrests exceeding 200,000.
Nothing like this has ever happened before. The 2.1 million figure represents an all-time high, surpassing the previous record of 1.7 million, set in fiscal year 2021. That is to say, every year President Joe Biden has been in office has been a record-breaking year of illegal immigration. Biden’s policies are directly responsible for the ongoing border crisis, which will continue unabated until those policies change. Whatever the number ends up being for 2022, the number for 2023 will almost certainly be higher.
Top Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee fired off a letter Friday to former FBI agent Timothy Thibault, warning him to preserve any and all documents related to his work on the Hunter Biden investigation.
“Whistleblowers have come to Congress alleging that you were part of a scheme to undermine and discredit allegations of criminal wrongdoing by members of the Biden family. Accordingly, we believe that you possess information relating to our investigation and we request your assistance with our inquiry,” wrote Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the committee’s ranking member, in the note obtained by The Post.
It was 35 years ago this September that Joe Biden’s first of three presidential campaigns was embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, one that would torpedo the bid in controversy. While journalists and late night hosts in 2022 don’t seem interested in mocking now-President Biden, it’s worth remembering that Johnny Carson had no problem joking about the Democrat in 1987.

The respected local newspaper does not identify any of those exploiting tensions between Muslims and Hindus in a city held up as a model of multicultural Britain, but now living in fear of sectarian violence.
One of the agitators, however, who has remained anonymous until today, is a man whose notoriety extends far beyond the East Midlands.
The Russian president has rejected requests from commanders in the field that they be allowed to retreat from Kherson, a vital city in Ukraine’s south.
WASHINGTON — President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia has thrust himself more directly into strategic planning for the war in Ukraine in recent weeks, American officials said, including rejecting requests from his commanders on the ground that they be allowed to retreat from the vital southern city of Kherson.
A withdrawal from Kherson would allow the Russian military to pull back across the Dnipro River in an orderly way, preserving its equipment and saving the lives of soldiers.
The Biden administration implemented its agenda to revive the Obama nuclear deal after US President Joe Biden assumed office in January 2021. Now, more than a year and half of negotiations seems to have benefited no one except the ruling and Islamist mullahs of Iran. The endless negotiations seem simply to have bought time for the mullahs, so that they could comfortably advance their nuclear program to their highest level ever. Not only has the Biden administration seen no urgency to change its disastrous path, it is actually redoubling efforts to for Iran talks, presumably after America’s mid-term election on November 8.
Firms with ties to Brampton councillor, mayor got ‘unfair advantage’ on contracts, docs say
Companies that employed two men with close associations to an incumbent Brampton councillor and its mayor won city contracts after being afforded access not given to other bidders, new documents suggest.
Almost 500 pages of documents — including internal communications, bid details and reports — were obtained by Global News.
They lay out a timeline in which companies with links to Patrick Brown and Coun. Rowena Santos were given an apparent advantage, winning competitive contracts to work on a controversial university scheme in Brampton.

When dictators are called out by the international community for perpetrating human-rights abuses, they often attempt to deflect criticism by accusing their Western critics of hypocrisy. In April, for instance, China denounced the US State Department’s annual Country Report on Beijing’s human-rights practices as “a pretense the U.S. government uses to cover up its agenda of seeking hegemony” over such nations as Afghanistan. “The U.S. should immediately cease making irresponsible remarks,” said Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian. “Instead, it needs to reflect on itself, mend its ways, and work earnestly to improve its own human-rights situation.”
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — Houses have been washed into the sea, roofs have been torn off and Fiona knocked out power to almost all of one Atlantic Canadian province and 80 percent of another Saturday, as it made landfall as a big, powerful post-tropical cyclone.
Fiona transformed from a hurricane into a post-tropical storm late Friday, but it still had hurricane-strength winds and brought drenching rains and huge waves.
Ocean waves pounded the town of Port Aux Basques on the southern coast of Newfoundland, where entire structures were washed into the sea. Mayor Brian Button said Saturday over social media that people were being evacuated to high ground as winds knocked down power lines.
To imagine the extent of damage consider that this is just ONE wave, invading and battering just ONE house in Burgeo. The destruction as Fiona dwindles over many, many hours will be considerable.

MONTREAL—Everything old is new again: that’s one of the first take-aways from this week’s opening Trudeau-Poilievre question period engagement.
Barely five minutes into the exchanges, there was the prime minister talking about his commitment to “help the middle class and those working hard to join it.”
If that sounds familiar, it is because the line is probably the most tired talking point in the Liberal handbook. The party’s 2015 campaign mantra has been repeated so often since then that it has lost most of the magic it may have had in those more optimistic times.
After characterizing Ontario as “a big blue state to the north.” Maher stated, “They completely stood by her, the school district, talking about equitable treatment without discrimination. Yes, we’re all for that. Without — based not upon gender, yes, identity expression, we’re all for that. … But the giant tits are scaring the children. I mean, come on, can you just do anything?”

Forget wokery and fight crime, Suella Braverman orders police
The home secretary has told police chiefs to prioritise “common-sense policing” and stop focusing on “symbolic gestures”.
Suella Braverman sent a letter to senior policing figures last night, telling them to reverse the perception that officers care more about “woke” issues than tackling crime.
Braverman said the public had a perception that police officers spent too much time on “symbolic gestures” rather than tackling crime.
