Author Salman Rushdie is likely to lose one of his eyes and is currently on a ventilator after he was attacked on stage at a literary event in upstate New York on Friday, a report said.
“The news is not good,” the 75-year-old writer’s agent, Andrew Wylie, told The New York Times.
“Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged,” said Wylie.
The man arrested in Friday’s stabbing of famed novelist Salman Rushdie was identified by police as a New Jersey man, who law enforcement sources tell The Post he had sympathies toward the Iranian government that has called for Rushdie’s death.
Hadi Matar, 24, of Fairview, New Jersey, was arrested after he stormed the stage at the Chautauqua Institution in Western New York and allegedly stabbed the author multiple times, New York State Police said Friday.
The Biden administration had previously been as deeply committed to escalation in Ukraine as Senator Lindsey Graham or actor Ben Stiller were, but suddenly even the West Wing is beginning to acknowledge the futility of unreservedly backing Zelensky. Apparently, there are limits, even for the Washington War Machine.
I’m also trying to think through which of the many enabling statutes passed by Congress since 1983 (the introduction of the Public Health Emergency framework) are the worst, and therefore highest priority for matching the statutes to the treasonous sponsors and ‘Aye’ voters, and also highest priority for repeal during the process of returning our Constitution-in-exile back home to America.
A chronological list of the 50 statutes passed by Congress between 1983 and this year, that I’m currently aware of, is at the footnote below.1
It was back on New Year’s Day 2008 that Yaser Said brutally murdered his two daughters, Amina, 18, and Sarah, 17, in Irving, Texas. On Tuesday, he was finally convicted of capital murder and received an automatic life sentence. But throughout the trial and all the coverage it received, it was clear that virtually no one is willing to tell the truth about why Said killed his daughters, or to face the unpleasant reality that murders of this kind could quite easily happen again in America.
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.
“The issue of creating an international reserve currency based on a basket of currencies of our countries is being worked out,” said Vladimir Putin in June, at a meeting of the BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa—grouping.
Russia and China have launched another attempt to develop a “new global reserve currency.” In other words, they are again attacking the dollar.
A “coordinated global challenge taking place to the U.S. dollar… would be the biggest news story in decades,” writes “Tyler Durden,” the pseudonym for in-house staffers at the ZeroHedge site. Durden is “stunned that nobody seems to care that arguably the largest shift on the global macroeconomic playing field over the last half century may be taking place.”

Strategist touts AOC as Dems’ best hope for 2024.
Yes, it seems like a joke, but Michael Starr Hopkins, who says he is an “experienced Press Secretary with a demonstrated history of working in the media industry,” is dead serious: in an op-ed in The Hill on Tuesday, Hopkins argues that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Would You Like An Olive?), who is already renowned for her wisdom and intellect, is the Democrats’ best hope to take on the evil Trump and prevent him from forcing another pause in their ongoing efforts to destroy the United States as a free and sovereign republic.
The media blackout of this Michigan mayor’s racist and supremacist views is part of a larger societal trend.
The mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, Ameer Haiderah Ghalib, was recently exposed for mocking black political demonstrations and endorsing comments that referred to African Americans as “animal” and “inhuman.” He also accused Arab world leaders of being secret Jews and “liked” a Facebook post calling Jews “monkeys” who tax “the air we breathe.”

China announced suspension of dialogue with the United States in a number of areas on Friday, countering the recent visit to Taiwan by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Not only has dialogue been cut on climate change and between theatre-level military commanders, cross-border crime and drug trafficking exchanges have also been ceased.
While the Biden administration focuses on its progressive agenda, they have taken their eyes off the ball, that being the substantial investments communist China has made in American real estate, in particular farmland.
For example, a bio-fermentation company based in China, Fufeng Group, recently purchased some 300 acres of land in North Dakota for $2.6 million. Plans are for the company to build a milling plant in the area.
Three hundred acres of land doesn’t seem substantial, but when added to the 191,000 acres of land China already owned in the United States, it raises the question of what exactly the communist nation is up to.
