TORONTO (Sputnik) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Tuesday that he has asked Governor General Julie Payette to prorogue parliament until 23 September. Facing opposition backlash – the proroguing of parliament shuts down all parliamentary committees’ business – Trudeau said he is releasing all documentation requested earlier concerning the ongoing WE Charity scandal. “Today, I have asked the Governor General to prorogue parliament, which must happen before any government can present a throne speech”, Trudeau said. Trudeau said that he intends to use the next six weeks to craft a long-term coronavirus economic recovery plan with newly minted Finance […]
Eighteen months after seeming to pull their sponsorship of the Women’s March due to allegations of anti-Semistim among the group’s leadership, it appears the Democratic National Committee has welcomed two of the organization’s controversial former leaders back into the fold. Tamika Mallory, the former co-president of the Women’s March, spoke briefly during Monday’s meeting of the Black Caucus about the importance of securing justice for Breonna Taylor, an EMT who was shot by police as they executed a no-knock warrant at her home in May. In January 2019, Mallory appeared on The View to address criticism and allegations of her team’s […]

US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared Kushner claims it would be in Saudi Arabia’s economic interest to normalise ties with Israel as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has agreed to do. “It would be very good for Saudi business, it would very good for Saudi’s defense, and, quite frankly, I think it would also help the Palestinian people,” said Kushner. The UAE and Israel announced a US-brokered peace deal last week which would see the two establish diplomatic, trade and commercial ties. According to the agreement, Israel would halt its plans to annex portions of the West Bank from Palestinians, although Israeli Prime Minister […]
Limited “Herd immunity” may be hindering the ongoing spread of coronavirus in Miami-Dade, the hardest-hit county in Florida, the third-most populous state in America, according to public health experts. Marc Lipsitch, a professor of epidemiology at Harvard University, and Carlos Migoya, the CEO of Jackson Health System, the public hospital network in Miami-Dade, recently told the Miami Herald that partial “herd immunity,” along with other mitigation efforts, could be helping slow the transmission of coronavirus. Citing the two experts on Friday, the Herald reported: Social distancing measures, face mask orders, and curfews certainly helped [slow the spread], public health experts say, but so did […]
Alex Jones predicted the censorship of internet media back in 2010 and warned of a licensing program that rewarded establishment-approved stories. This has now come into fruition with NewsGuard. “What’s scary is the media is reporting on it like it’s reasonable,” said Jones back in June 2010. “And other states are moving as well, to where I won’t be able to be on the air. No, I have to have a ‘government license.’” “[They’re now saying], you have to be vetted, we have to decide, or we’re going to put messages up on your website – government popups – that say […]
Authored by Thomas Greene via Medium.com, The Bronx of my childhood was a paradise. My street ran parallel to a section of the old Croton Aqueduct, by then long disused, which we kids called the Ackey. Along its banks grew trees and bushes and wild flowers forming a ribbon of thicket in which we played, and through which we “hiked.” We were always in the street. We learned our games and rhymes by word of mouth, from older to younger. We chose our adventures and settled disputes among ourselves. We played stick ball and ringolevio and skully, red rover and stoop […]
(Natural News) A quick look at the top financial contributors to Kamala Harris’ initial failed campaign for the presidency reveals none other than Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, as the third-spot contender – meaning the world can expect a whole lot more censorship and tyranny from Big Tech should Kamala get elected on the Joe Biden ticket. Between the years of 2013 and 2018, Alphabet Inc. contributed nearly $100,000 to Kamala as a California politician, $10,000 of which was to her political action committees (PACs). Other major contributors to Kamala include the WarnerMedia Group, the University of California, 21st […]

However, it may also be less deadly, according to Paul Tambyah, the president-elect of the International Society of Infectious Diseases.

Turkey and Qatar have signed a tripartite deal with the Libyan government for military cooperation, in a new development set to enhance the government’s defence against the forces of Khalifa Haftar. The agreement, which was announced by Libya’s Deputy Defence Minister Salam Al-Namroush yesterday, will establish military facilities and training programmes within the country. This cooperation will include Qatar’s funding of military training centres and the establishment of a trilateral coordination centre and Turkish naval base in the city of Misrata. Consultation will also be provided to Libyan government forces as part of the agreement. The deal was struck after a visit […]
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden was unable to recall that he was first inaugurated as vice president in 2009. Biden’s repeated brain freeze was caught on camera during a virtual fundraiser with Actor Tom Hanks on Tuesday. The fundraiser, which was hosted by Hanks during this week’s virtual Democratic National Convention, saw Biden attempting to explain the Oscar-winner how 40 years after his work as a public defender he was inaugurated as vice president alongside President Barack Obama. “I quit, I became a public defender. And I used to have to interview my clients down by the train station… and […]
Las Vegas is expected to become one of the focal points of the eviction crisis as nearly a quarter-million people could be removed from their homes in the coming weeks, reported AP News. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports a perfect storm of factors in Clark County including high unemployment, a high percentage of renters, collapsed travel and tourism industry, expiration of the state’s eviction mortarium, and the end of federal unemployment benefits could result in an eviction wave beginning as early as next month. Las Vegas research group Guinn Center and the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project in Denver estimates about 250,000 people in Clark County, or approximately 10% of […]
…from PressTV, Tehran [ Editor’s Note: This investigation took fifteen years and cost a billion dollars, a fact that should launch an investigation into the crime of milking this investigation as a cash cow. The question arises, what is the point of having any UN investigation, when this case shows it does not have the capacity to do one in any reasonable amount of time? This makes news today because no evidence of Syrian involvement was found, but it will probably not change anyone’s mind if they have already formed an opinion. Passions replace memories in events like this. Then again, […]
As if it weren’t awkward enough for the party that bills itself as defender of women to feature Bill Clinton at its convention, photos of the ex-president with one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims surfaced on the day of his speech. The UK’s Daily Mail published exclusive pictures Tuesday showing Clinton receiving a massage in 2002 from 22-year-old Chauntae Davies, who allegedly was raped by billionaire Epstein repeatedly over a period of four years. The massage occurred while Clinton, along with actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, flew with Epstein on the pedophile’s infamous private jet, nicknamed the Lolita Express, on a […]

For years, New York attorney Jason Kurland was the “go-to” lawyer for lottery winners. Having represented dozens of lucky people across the country—whose total winnings estimated $3 billion—the attorney appeared on CNN and CNBC as a “lottery law expert,” offering advice on how winners can protect their sudden infusion of cash. “The biggest mistake people make is doing it on their own,” Kurland said in a 2019 interview, stressing that it’s important for lottery winners to “know that someone can walk you through it, step by step, so there are no surprises.” But prosecutors on Tuesday allege that the self-dubbed “Lottery […]

The Senate Intelligence Committee has determined that the FBI gave the unverified anti-Trump dossier “unjustified credence,” and that Russia “took advantage” of members of the Trump transition team’s “relative inexperience in government.” In its final report as part of a years-long bipartisan into whether Russia sought to influence the 2016 election, the Committee found “absolutely no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump” colluded with Russia. “Over the last three years, the Senate Intelligence Committee conducted a bipartisan and thorough investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and undermine our democracy,” Acting Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Marco Rubio (R-FL) said in […]
One year ago I predicted in this column that a Saudi embassy to Israel in Jerusalem was coming soon. With last week’s news about the United Arab Emirates, it looks as if we are moving closer towards such a tragic eventuality. US President Donald Trump formally announced that the UAE and Israel had signed a deal which committed both to establishing formal diplomatic relations. According to the statement, the two regimes will meet in the coming weeks to sign bilateral agreements on tourism, direct flights, “security” (for which read: the arms trade and exchange of torture techniques), “technology” (for which read: cyberwarfare, spying and hijacking […]
One proposal being floated by several Democrats is a package of economic measures that would automatically extend jobless benefits to millions of Americans if the economic and health crises continue. The push has been led for months by the centrist New Democrat Coalition, which plans to send a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Monday night. So far, nearly 50 Democrats have signed onto the letter. It has also won support from Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), a co-leader of the influential Congressional Progressive Caucus. Another idea up for discussion is to hold a […]

(Natural News) As drug companies ramp up efforts to fast-track their “Operation Warp Speed” vaccine candidates for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), many unsuspecting Christians and conservatives are unaware of the fact that these jabs are slated to contain toxic ingredients derived from aborted human babies.

Egypt’s parliament on Tuesday gave its final approval to a law protecting the identity of victims of sexual harassment and assault, aimed at encouraging women who fear social stigma to report such crimes.

A new article added to the Criminal Procedure Law would ban investigative authorities from disclosing information about victims in such crimes, except to defendants or their lawyers. It will take effect once approved by President Abdel Fattah […]

Over the last few U.S. presidential election cycles, the major television networks have chosen to broadcast just one hour each night from the respective parties’ political conventions, usually out of concern that anything more would impact viewership numbers and ad revenues. But this year, another explanation was offered for keeping the broadcasts short: Uncertainty over what airing President Donald Trump’s coronation event might look and sound like. Multiple sources told The Daily Beast that when Democratic officials met with various broadcast network executives about their convention coverage plans, the executives stressed that they could not broadcast two hours each night in […]

Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, interviewed by Press TV Mike Pompeo has been leading the charge in the Trump administration to try to trigger the snapback provisions in the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA.
