‘Moorish Nation’ Members Arrested After Breaking Into NASCAR Driver’s Mansion

A South Carolina couple accused of breaking into and squatting a $16-million-dollar mansion belonging to a NASCAR driver have an interesting excuse: they are members of the “Moorish Nation” that claims its members are the rightful owners of all property.

Darius Trrone Hall, 29, and Nataijah Shaieena Fields, 37, were arrested earlier this month after allegedly breaking into the North Carolina home of NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr., WB-TV reported. The Mooresville home boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and almost 10,000 square feet, and is currently on the market for $15,995,000.

Here’s why Pierre Poilievre will be watching Quebec’s provincial election campaign

MONTREAL—It has been more than a decade since Quebec voters have handed a party a second governing mandate. Over that period, the Parti Québécois, the Liberals and the Coalition Avenir Québec have all had a turn at the helm.

On Oct. 3, Premier François Legault is hoping to break that pattern. With the campaign officially underway as of this weekend, here are five early takes on the state of play in Quebec …

Doing well in BC …

FBI: No, we would never have told Zuckerberg to bury the Hunter laptop story

When Facebook/Meta honcho Mark Zuckerberg went on the Joe Rogan show recently, he created some waves by confirming something most of us were pretty sure of already. In the weeks before the 2020 election, the FBI directly contacted Facebook and told them that the Hunter Biden laptop story was going to drop and that it was “probably Russian disinformation.” Of course, the story was 100% real and not disinformation of any sort, but Facebook went ahead and suppressed the New York Post story about it anyway until Joe Biden was safely past the general election.

I don’t believe either of them.

Scientists to Study Pig-Organ Transplants in Brain-Dead People for Longer Periods

Extended studies could provide data for future research but raise ethical concerns because of delay in burial and closure

As part of long-term efforts to address the shortage of lifesaving organs, scientists plan to extend the duration of studies in which genetically modified pig organs are transplanted into brain-dead individuals.

The move could provide crucial data to help launch clinical trials of animal-to-human transplants in living patients—but it also raises ethical and scientific challenges for the doctors and families involved.

Twitter and Meta take down pro-US propaganda campaign

Twitter and Meta have removed from their platforms an online propaganda campaign aimed at promoting US interests abroad, researchers say.

This is the first major covert pro-US propaganda operation taken down by the tech giants, says a report by social media analytics firm Graphika and the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO).

They removed dozens of accounts used in the campaign in July and August.

It is not clear who is behind the propaganda operation.

Still More Dangerous New Concessions by Biden Administration for a Nuclear Deal with Iran’s Mullahs

Since assuming office, the Biden administration’s policy towards the Iranian regime has been one of capitulation and giving concessions to the ruling Islamist mullahs of Iran. So far, they include suspending some of the anti-terrorism sanctions on Iran-backed Houthis, then revoking the designation of Yemen’s Houthis as a terrorist group; disregarding Iran’s oil sales to China; shipping oil to Syria, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Venezuela in direct violation of US sanctions; ignoring the Iranian regime’s crackdown on protesters, smuggling weapons to the Houthis and Venezuela; attempting to murder US former officials and citizens on American soil, and taking more foreign hostages.

On top of that, newly leaked information from inside Iran, obtained by Iran International, reveals that the Biden administration has made even more concessions to revive the nuclear deal, which have not been revealed to the public. According to the report, “the US guarantees that its sanctions against IRGC would not affect other sectors and firms: e.g. a petrochemical company shouldn’t be sanctioned by US because of doing business with IRGC.”

German state leader ‘not wanted’ in Ukraine after war remarks

The state premier of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer, drew the ire of Ukraine’s ambassador in Germany over a suggestion that the Russian war be “frozen” to give diplomacy a chance.

Kyiv’s ambassador in Berlin, Andriy Melnyk, rescinded an invitation to the Premier of Germany’s Saxony state, Michael Kretschmer to visit Ukraine.

“I invited you to Ukraine. This invitation has been canceled. You are not wanted. Period,” the diplomat wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

Trudeau Doesn’t Commit to Meeting NATO’s 2 Percent Military Spending Target

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not committing two percent of Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) to national defence spending—as NATO asks its member countries to do.

Trudeau, who was visiting an Alberta air force base along with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg as part of his Canadian Arctic visit, answered indirectly to a reporter asking if Ottawa would make any “promises or assurances” to meet NATO’s minimum military-spending goal.

… Of the 30 NATO allies, only five spent a lower percentage of their GDP on national defence in 2022 than Canada.

Trudeau needs the money to ruin our economy.

Over Half of Canadians Say They Can’t Keep Up With Rising Cost of Living: Poll

More than half of Canadians say they can’t keep up with the rising cost of living, according to a recent poll by the Angus Reid Institute.

The survey, published on Aug. 22, found that 56 percent of Canadians say they are struggling to keep pace with soaring prices as high inflation continues to force them to pinch their pennies.

“The level of month-to-month price increases was the lowest so far this year. However, prices have risen by 7.6 per cent since July 2021, meaning there is much work for the Bank of Canada left to do to return the country to its target rate of two percent,” the polling firm said.

Massachusetts Woman originally from Afghanistan fatally shoots three male relatives before killing herself

A Massachusetts woman shot her brother-in-law, his father, her own dad and herself to death after she publicly accused the first man of physically abusing her sister for years while the other two – along with additional relatives – stood idly by, according to authorities and a chilling social media post that offers an apparent motive for the violence.

The gruesome saga began with a Facebook post published on the afternoon of 23 August in which Khosay Sharifi recounted how her sister has been choked, slapped, kicked, punched in the face and cursed out by her husband of 14 years.

‘Only the beginning’: Hundreds protest Western University vaccine mandate

A student organizer behind Saturday’s protest against Western University’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate says the demonstration is “only the beginning” in the push to overturn the controversial policy.

Hundreds of people gathered on campus to hear speakers denounce the London, Ont., university’s decision to mandate at least three vaccine doses for staff, students and some visitors.

The students will win.

Ottawa has continued its mysterious deference to China. What happened to the promised ‘reset’?

As we mark the six-month anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s assault on Ukraine and on world order, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the creation of a special team in Canada to counter the Kremlin’s raging disinformation campaign.

There is a real need to address this threat to the concept of truth, which is the basis of democracy and human rights. But why limit the team’s mandate to the lies of just one offender? This essentially tells China that Ottawa will not be responding to the more richly funded propaganda scheme being run out of Chinese embassies and consulates across Canada.

Funding for community groups a central plank of Canada’s first ever LGBTQ2S+ ‘action plan’

The federal government says it will prioritize direct funding for community groups under Canada’s first ever federal LGBTQ2S+ “action plan,” stating that they are the best-placed organizations to identify and deliver the support needed to address “persisting inequities” and improve the wellbeing of LGBTQ2S+ individuals in this country.

Through the plan, the government is also pledging to study emerging criminal justice issues such as HIV non-disclosure; adopt the usage of the “more inclusive” 2SLGBTQI+ acronym; and launch an awareness campaign aimed at combatting discrimination.

Tell me an election isn’t in the wind. This should be fun as the TERF wars heat up so there’s that.
