Trump ramps up bombing of Iran

Donald Trump intensified his war against Iran on Tuesday, dropping bunker-busting bombs on the regime’s underground missile facilities.

Just 24 hours earlier, the US president had declared the war was “very complete” and that Iran’s military had been effectively wiped out.

However, on Tuesday, Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, said fresh strikes against Tehran would be the “most intense” since the conflict began on Feb 28.

‘This Is Not 2003’: Hegseth Promises Iran War Will Not Turn Into Nation-Building

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth promised Tuesday that the Iran war “is not 2003” and will not look like another nation-building, regime-change war like in Iraq.

Giving an update ten days into the war, Hegseth was joined by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine at the Pentagon.

Nation building became synonymous with graft.

Canadians are dying preventable deaths in this country’s choked ERs, doctors warn

Dr. Alecs Chochinov recently received a private message from an emergency medicine colleague who has been practising for more than a decade. “I’ve never been so despondent,” it said.

“That single doctor is speaking for many,” Chochinov said. “People are despondent. They’re scared that there are going to be bad outcomes and they’re going to feel responsible. But they don’t see any respite.”

This ‘anti-Muslim hostility’ definition is truly sinister

The government’s new official definition of ‘anti-Muslim hostility’ is 144 words long. But in a sign that even ministers now realise what a mess they have made, it is followed by a further tortuously pleading 1,400 words which ‘must be read together’ with it.

You will be relieved to hear, according to this ‘accompanying text,’ that the definition is no threat at all to ‘the fundamental right of every person in the UK to exercise freedom of speech,’ or to ‘academic and political discussion,’ or to ‘criticisms of religion or belief,’ or to ‘debates in the public interest.’

Britain’s Gorton and Denton by-election on Feb. 26 was more than just a local upset. It gave a glimpse into demographic changes that could shape U.S. politics.

Former CBC journalist Travis Dhanraj says CBC stuck in ‘endless merry-go-round of gaslighting Canadians’

TORONTO — Former CBC host Travis Dhanraj told a parliamentary committee Tuesday that editorial interference, internal culture problems and political bias at CBC News have eroded public trust in the publicly funded broadcaster.

Early in his testimony, Dhanraj described an incident during editorial discussions about Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich. He told MPs that after he noted Lich had multiple last names, David Cochrane, host of Power & Politics, allegedly responded that “people who live in trailers usually do.”

Moment wife of Alexander brother collapses on street in tears: Dramatic minute-by-minute account of family’s total meltdown after guilty verdict left them trembling

Blocks away from Manhattan federal court, a distraught fashion model sat on a street corner, wiping tears from her face and gesturing in disbelief as a family friend tried to console her.

Only moments earlier, Shani Zigron had sat in the gallery on Monday evening, watching as a jury sealed the fate of her husband, Alon Alexander, and his two real estate scion brothers, Oren and Tal, convicting them on all counts in a sprawling sex trafficking conspiracy dating back more than a decade.

The once high-flying siblings now face the possibility of life in prison.

The brothers were worse than Epstein.
