DOJ Charges Iranian Operative Shahram Poursafi For Allegedly Plotting To Murder John Bolton On US Soil

Iranian operative Shahram Poursafi has been charged in an alleged plot to kill former National Security Adviser John Bolton, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday.

The DOJ noted in a press release that Poursafi was a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and an Iranian national. The 45-year-old is accused of attempting “to arrange the murder of” Bolton, “likely in retaliation for the January 2020 death of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — Qods Force … commander Qasem Soleimani,” according to the department.

‘A Wall of Flame in the Women’s Restroom’: Why Starbucks Is Closing Stores across the Country

Starbucks announced that it would be closing 16 locations in cities across the country last month — and not for lack of business, but for their proximity to the wrong kind of foot traffic.

In an email explaining the decision to employees obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Starbucks executives Debbie Stroud and Denise Nelson wrote “we read every incident report you file—it’s a lot.”

“We cannot serve as partners if we don’t first feel safe at work,” added Stroud and Nelson.

Russian weapons are old and failing, says Ukraine’s military

Russia’s weapons are “ineffective” and “obsolete”, with armoured vehicles and helicopters unable to withstand small arms fire and missiles that have only a 33 per cent chance of hitting their target, according to an internal Ukrainian government report.

The dossier compiled by the country’s Ministry of Defence and seen by The Times claims that Russian weapons recovered from the battlefield are unreliable and do not meet modern requirements.

Ukrainian defence officials also state in the report that Russia is having to suspend multimillion-pound arms contracts with other nations, either because of sanctions or the need to replenish losses of combat equipment in Ukraine.

Electric Vehicles May Present Major Problem During Natural Disaster Evacuations: Experts

Back to the Future.

The push to transition the national road fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) is on and while increasingly popular with buyers, experts in the transportation space are examining potential problems with mass EV adoption.

One such issue involves EVs and evacuations during natural disasters.

A report from Transportation Research published in ScienceDirect headlined “Can we evacuate from hurricanes with electric vehicles?” found that Florida—which often bears the force of hurricanes—may not have enough power to cope during an evacuation.

“Electric vehicles” are the Big Lie of the Green-Scam.

Wind and solar will not provide anywhere near sufficient amounts of electricity to run vehicles on the scale we are used to seeing today no matter what the green-scammers say.

They will never be in use on a large scale without a huge investment in nuclear power to charge them and the scammers will never agree to that.

EV manufacture and disposal creates a brand new set of environmental hazards.  And then there are the unique safety issues of EV’s, fire departments warn of lithium battery fires that are both highly toxic and difficult to extinguish.

They lie because they don’t want you to know that the plan is to ban privately owned vehicles.

Hard-left academics ‘plotted gender ID witch-hunt’ on colleagues

Staff planned to ‘inform’ on those they believed were transphobic, The Times reveals

A group of hard-left academics has been accused of stifling free speech on university campuses by plotting a witch-hunt against colleagues on gender identity.

University and College Union (UCU) members pledged to compile a list of university backroom staff suspected of holding gender-critical beliefs, the minutes from a meeting leaked to The Times reveal.

The plan was to use this information to “inform” UCU university branches of their colleagues’ views, accusing them of being “transphobes” and “gender-critical activists”.

̷C̷o̷n̷t̷r̷o̷v̷e̷r̷s̷i̷a̷l̷ ̷g̷r̷o̷u̷p̷ People the CBC were told to attack by the LPC create ‘private security force’ to guard former church

A controversial organization operating out of a historic Ottawa church has set up what it calls a “private security force,” saying it was necessary because police weren’t responding to its concerns quickly enough.

The United People of Canada (TUPC) said it has identified people it claims have committed crimes targeting the group, and is prepared to “ensure the rule of law is upheld within our lawful authority,” according to William Komer, one of its directors.

However, Komer wouldn’t share details about whether the force will be made up of outside contractors or the group’s supporters.

Young people seem to be leaning Tory (possibly for the first time ever)

Every few weeks, a new poll emerges with evidence of a phenomenon that basically never happens in Canadian politics: young people favouring the Conservative Party.

A recent Abacus Data poll showed that 37 per cent of 18 to 29 year olds were prepared to back the Tories — a larger base of support than for either the Liberals or the NDP.

… What’s notable, however, is that the hard-right People’s Party of Canada obtained an incredible seven per cent of the under-34 demographic — one of their strongest demographics overall.

Vegan-hating ‘incel’ is arrested after allegedly making a series of death threats against a Woodstock Fruit Festival

A vegan-hating New York man was arrested Tuesday morning after he allegedly made a series of death threats against an upstate fruit festival – which included telling an organizer that he would ‘do a f–king Ted Bundy’ to her unless she called off the event.

William Swift, 32, of Brooklyn, appeared in Brooklyn federal court today where he was charged with menacing organizers and attendees of the festival which is described as a ‘vegan health retreat’ and ‘an all-out celebration of health, fruit-based diet and personal growth.’

Swift apparently split from the vegan lifestyle and community, ranting against veganism and fruitarianism on his Instagram page.

Unvaccinated Ontario Mayor Denied Access to Township Office Protests COVID-19 Vaccine Policies

An Ontario mayor is protesting against his municipality’s COVID-19 vaccine policies, which prevent him from entering his office and other municipal buildings due to his being unvaccinated.

On Aug. 8, Dave Bylsma was joined by supporters at the West Lincoln Community Centre, roughly 36 kilometres from St. Catharines, Ontario, in a protest against the vaccine policies that he said have prevented him from fulfilling his duty as mayor over the past eight months.

Celebrities embark on a Ukraine safari

Visiting Zelensky has become the latest Hollywood PR stunt

The saying goes that there is nothing that celebrities can’t make about themselves. As it turns out, that includes a war in Ukraine caused by an invasion of Russia that’s already seen thousands of casualties.

It’s almost as though there are two wars happening at once: one on social media, where guerrilla clips from the front lines show bodies, shelling, and damage to homes, and one playing out in the pages of Vogue magazine.

The Latin American Left Is in Flames

Caught between inflation, falling public revenues, and their own demagoguery, the continent’s new socialist leaders are at risk of being crushed.

We are witnessing a revolution, it seems. The six largest countries on the Latin-American continent have gone over to the Left—a Left of words and promises that, unsurprisingly, are already proving untenable. In Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, or AMLO, has been president since 2018. A career politician, he renounced his socialist commitments at the outset of his presidency to save the country’s ruined public finances. But other, less experienced leaders on the left, prisoners of their ideology and of their programs, as generous as they are demagogic, already find themselves up against the wall of reality: the economy, for its part, does not lie.
