[ad_1] Nate Bear Do Not Panic The British government has announced it is going to ban Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, an idea which on the face of it sounds ridiculous. The IRGC is the primary military branch of another country tasked with defending that country from hostile aggressors. IRGC soldiers and commanders aren’t lurking in the shadows of Solihull plotting to blow up British politicians, they’re in Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan and Karaj strategising, as we speak, to repel American and Israeli forces. So what’s the point, you might ask, in “banning” a branch of another country’s military which is operating…

[ad_1] Photograph Source: U.S. Congress – Public Domain Let’s start with reality: there is no Antifa organization. There exists no Antifa “funding” that FBI director Kash Patel claims he is hunting down – he’ll be doing that from now till Kingdom Come, because it quite simply doesn’t exist. There is no shadowy Antifa conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government and what Donald “Nail a Commie” Trump regards as its God-given mission to promote capitalism. It doesn’t exist. It’s a fascist chimera, a demagogic delusion, a convenient hallucination, a mad mirage, a demented nightmare for the boobocracy. It’s bullshit. What there…

The vote was 2-1-2, with two Democrats abstaining and committee chair Sen. Scott Wiener voting against the measure.

Dennis Prager at the 2022 AmericaFest in Phoenix. (Gage Skidmore /Wikimedia Commons/CC BY-SA 2.0) By Alan MacLeodMintPress News PragerU is trying to take over American schools. The right-wing, pseudo-educational group is now an official educational partner in at least 10 states and blitzes children with highly questionable messaging on race, history, and politics. Even more concerning, PragerU is led by former Israeli spy, Marissa Streit, who has stated she uses the tactics and techniques…

[ad_1] Photograph Source: Jpdfive – CC BY-SA 4.0 Let the mockery and disdain begin.  The elected member of the Essex seat of Clacton, also leader of the populist Reform UK party, has decided to avoid the investigation into his financial affairs by going to the polls on August 13.  To do so, Nigel Farage has resigned, thereby forcing the by-election vote.  He senses a squeeze on various fronts: a parliamentary investigation into undeclared financial affairs, a dip in favourability as a potential Prime Minister (even if his party only has eight sitting members), and the nipping of a rival, even more savagely populist…

Yuval Haker – CC BY-SA 3.0 In June 2026, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu wrote to Republican Representative Marlin Stutzman of California, saying that “the time has now arrived [for Israel] to move from aid recipient to partner” with the United States. Yesterday, on Fox News, Netanyahu again repeated the proposal to move “from aid to partnership“. What Netanyahu proclaims is at the core of the proposed “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative”, which has been included in a section of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that seeks to push the Pentagon budget to $1.5…

[ad_1] A Brazilian court sentenced Audato and Ieda Denardi to 50 days in prison after convicting them of “intellectual neglect” for homeschooling their two daughters instead of using a state-approved education program. According to the ruling, the parents’ curriculum did not include lessons on “gender and sex education” or “tolerance and diversity.” The judge also cited the girls’ preference for classical and religious music over popular genres such as trap and sertanejo as evidence that they had not been properly exposed to Brazilian culture. The case is unusual because state prosecutors had asked the court to acquit the parents after an…
