An elite Taliban unit released propaganda images this week, including one mocking the iconic World War Two photo of U.S. Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima. In the propaganda image, the Taliban fighters are shown raising their flag while wearing what appears to be U.S. and U.S. ally-made military gear. “The Taliban’s Badri 313 Battalion released a collection of propaganda footage this past week,” the Daily Mail reported Sunday. “Among the collection was the recreation of the famed 1945 World War II picture of soldiers raising the American flag during the Battle of Iwo Jima” The propaganda shows a group of Taliban soldiers […]
It probably does not need much commentary, but the rate of change that Canadians are taking out loans to purchase homes is absolutely astonishing at the moment and is reaching levels not seen since right before the 2008 housing meltdown. New data from Statistics Canada shows the monthly changes in residential mortgage credit for June are more than double the historical average. This could only mean one thing, as we’ve noted in “Canadian Housing Market “Gone Berserk” As Investors Stir Bubble Fears” and ““It’s Gone Parabolic”: Canadian Housing In One Shocking Chart” that the Canadian housing market is boiling. The total value of residential mortgages grew […]
(Natural News) Reports coming in from Afghanistan state that the Taliban is carrying out a door-to-door manhunt for people who worked for the United States, its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies and for the previous Afghan government. This report adds to the growing evidence that the Islamic fundamentalist group is growing increasingly more repressive. (Related: CNN tries once again to convince viewers not to believe their eyes – as correspondent downplays Afghans chanting ‘Death to America!’ behind her.) The evidence of the systematic manhunt of former Afghan employees and Western collaborators comes from the RHIPTO Norwegian Center for Global Analyses. RHIPTO is […]

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) told Breitbart News Saturday that President Joe Biden must resign following his major foreign policy failure in Afghanistan as thousands of Americans remain stranded, blasting his “arrogant callousness” and false assertions that Americans are able to access the airport in Kabul as the condition in the area, under Taliban rule, worsens. “Either he’s lying to us or he doesn’t know what’s happening on the ground or he’s not listening to the generals or our intel community. There seems to be a miscommunication. All this was already transpiring early on,” Tenney said, referring to Biden’s “festering mess” in […]

GM has vastly expanded its Chevy Bolt recall that it had previously issued due to risk of fires. The company said on Friday it was going to take a $1 billion charge as a result of the recall and that it was “indefinitely” halting sales of the EV due to the risk of fire from the car’s battery pack. The expanded recall “covers 73,000 vehicles from model years 2019 through 2022,” Reuters reported Friday. It now encompasses all remaining Bolt vehicles that hadn’t been previously recalled. The company is targeting replacing defective battery modules with new ones as a solution. GM […]
Multiple blasts have rocked the Gaza Strip after the IDF launched a series of airstrikes in an apparent retaliation to violent border clashes, in which an Israeli soldier was critically wounded earlier in the day.

Authored by Lee Smith via The Epoch Times, Recent media reports point obliquely to significant developments in John Durham’s special counsel investigation. He’s using a grand jury to subpoena documents and witness testimony regarding the FBI’s illegal spying operation against Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. And now stories in the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post say Durham may be looking to make criminal charges against “lower-level FBI agents” as well as outside sources who passed false information to federal law enforcement. If that’s accurate, the latter category could include political operatives, foreign spies, big-name Beltway lawyers, journalists, and computer experts. […]

A Belgian woman has ended up banned from visiting a chimpanzee at Antwerp Zoo after the keepers deemed the two were spending way too much time together. The woman claimed she was having an “affair” with the animal.

Over the past four years, Timmermans paid weekly visits to the zoo, seeking contact with one particular animal – a 38-year-old chimpanzee called Chita. The two then interacted through the enclosure’s glass, waving and blowing kisses […]

One such protest took place in Manassas, Virginia and subsequently turned violent, sparking a secret meeting among several Prince William County board members and then-chief of police for Prince Williams Barry Barnard.

Less than three months ago, the Centers for Disease Control published a mostly-ignored, large-scale study of Covid-19 transmission in US schools which concluded that while masking then-unvaccinated teachers and improving ventilation was associated with lower levels of virus transmission in schools – social distancing, classroom barriers, HEPA filters, and forcing students to wear masks did not result in a statistically significant benefit. A few major news outlets covered its release by briefly reiterating the study’s summary: that masking then-unvaccinated teachers and improving ventilation with more fresh air were associated with a lower incidence of the virus in schools. Those are common-sense […]

The city’s Utilities Commission asked residents Saturday to stop watering their lawns, citing a “shortage of liquid oxygen linked to the surge of COVID-19 inpatient treatments.” If residents didn’t do their part to reduce water consumption, the commission warned, “water quality may be impacted.” Linda Ferrone, the commission’s chief customer and marketing officer, said the commission may be forced to issue a boil water notice if conditions do not improve. “This is another impact of the […]

Following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and a possible wave of migrants fleeing the country, Swedish prime minister Stefan Lofven has vowed there will be no repeat of the 2015 migrant crisis. The Swedish prime minister stated that his country would not again be accepting massive numbers of migrants as it did in 2015, when the country took in more than 160,000 people — one of the largest numbers per capita of any European country at the time. “One thing we should be very clear about: we will never go back to 2015,” Lofven said in an interview this week, adding, “Sweden […]

One day after the dementia-ridden president lied to Americans and billions watching around the world that he has “no indication that [Americans] haven’t been able to get, in Kabul, through the airport,” when asked about evacuating Americans who couldn’t get to the airport… … just 12 hours later on Saturday the US embassy in Kabul, or rather what’s left of it, advised Americans in Afghanistan to avoid traveling to Kabul airport, adding that authorities will contact all registered U.S. citizens with further instructions as the situation updates. “Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, we are […]
The Arts Council of Wales spent £51,000 on a report that found its own Welsh language policies “systemically racist.” By asking workers to know the language, the council upholds a “white supremacist ideology,” the report claimed.

However, the arts council recently paid an outside organisation, the Welsh Arts Anti-Racist Union, £51,000 ($69,474) to investigate whether these language policies exclude black people and other non-white minorities.

President Joe Biden’s veneer of foreign policy expertise collapsed over the past week given his handling of the U.S. presence in Afghanistan, Sean Spicer, former White House press secretary, host of Newsmax’s Spicer & Co., and author of the forthcoming RADICAL NATION: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s Dangerous Plan for America, told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Daily host Alex Marlow.

I nodded and returned to my writing. Then, they lost sight of me and started a lengthy conversation about laundering money to the Cayman Islands by paying escorts to accompany them on international flights […]

Former senior Trump administration defense and intelligence officials watching the disaster unfolding this week in Afghanistan say that the incoming Biden administration rejected their plans for a stable withdrawal, which included keeping a small unit to conduct counterterrorism operations against al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the Taliban if necessary. Three former senior officials told Breitbart News that the small force of about 800 U.S. troops would have been left in place to continue the counterterrorism mission, but to also provide intelligence and logistical support to the Afghan military and prevent the kind of collapse the world is witnessing now in Afghanistan.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed earlier this week that after the Taliban took Kabul, he spoke not with Joe Biden or even Kamala Harris, but with Hillary Clinton instead. Trudeau said “I also spoke last night with former U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who shares our concern for Afghan women and girls.” He continued, “She welcomed our efforts and urged Canada to continue our work. Governments, international organizations, and civil society must continue to work together to support women and girls in Afghanistan. The Afghan people need the world to stand with them.

President Joe Biden has suggested that up to 65,000 Afghans must be resettled outside of Afghanistan as it remains unclear how many will ultimately arrive in the United States. Earlier this week, Pentagon officials said up to 22,000 Afghans — those applying for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) and the newly-created P-2 visa — would arrive at Fort Lee in Virginia, Fort Bliss in Texas, and Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. On Thursday, though, Biden suggested the U.S. must evacuate 65,000 Afghans from Afghanistan without specifying the U.S. or third countries like Qatar and Turkey, as their final destination. The exchange with ABC […]
Germany’s Robert Koch Institute, a government agency and research institute responsible for disease control and prevention, declared this week that the fourth wave of coronavirus infections has begun.

More pix and article here. It wasn’t a high-tech machine, despite its abilities. In the air it was powered by a 65 horsepower four-cylinder Lycoming engine. While underwater a 1-horsepower electric motor provided propulsion. Conversion from aircraft to submarine was a clumsy affair. The pilot first had to remove the propeller, and then cover the engine pylon with a rubber diving bell to keep the engine dry. The pilot used an aqualung to breathe. Maximum depth was roughly 10 to 12 ft (3.5 metres). From THE SATURDAY EVENING POST for January 1, 1966. Source link

Analysing a country’s military presence overseas is a good way to gauge its global influence. How do the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council measure up when it comes to bases abroad? Charting the geographic spread of military power can prove difficult due to temporary deployments, minor military presences abroad and the rapid pace of world affairs. However, as Statista’s Katharina Buchholz details below, when it comes to major permanent military presence abroad, nowhere comes close to the United States. The U.S., similar to the UK, has major bases spread all around the globe, even though the U.S. is obviously […]

Authored by Finian Cunningham via The Strategic Culture Foundation, President Joe Biden vowed “America is back” when he took office, meaning that Washington would realign with and respect European allies under its global leadership after the years of Trump discord. The European political establishment swooned and cooed like dutiful debutantes apparently having Uncle Sam’s affections and patronage again. How quickly indeed has that supposedly rosy relation between the U.S. and the Europeans been ruptured with bitter recriminations following the disastrous collapse in Afghanistan. The EU is scrambling to cope with the potential fallout of mass migration from the Central Asian country […]
