'Absurd and Shameful': Here's What Biden Is Allowing Iran to Do on American Soil

Biden administration has decided to allow the Iranian regime to set up absentee vote collection sites in the United States for its June 28 presidential election  - Spencer Brown
  • In another case of "what are they thinking?!" the Biden administration has decided to allow the Iranian regime to set up absentee vote collection sites in the United States for its June 28 presidential election to replace Ebrahim Raisi following his death earlier this year. 
  • Indulging the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and legitimizing Iran's sham elections is ludicrous — even Canada under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn't allow Iran to run an absentee ballot operation on its soil...

Is The Russian Response Taking Shape? - by Mark Wauck

Russia promised a response to the strike on the beach in Crimea on Orthodox Pentecost Sunday. At least a part of that response may be coming into view.
  • We have seen at least two downings of US drones in Syria this week, and there have been rumors of actions taken against US drones over the Black Sea. 
  • These actions are very important, because the drones are used for target designation and guidance of precision missiles...
  • Of course, as in the past, the chatter about future events probably means the reality is in place—increased numbers of US troops are probably present and operating, replacing dead Ukrainians. 
  • Doug Macgregor mentioned yesterday that the Ukrainians suffered 13,000 KIA last week alone. Where US troops go, the tech goes, too...

Time to get familiar with this.

 

Denmark Proposing Carbon Tax on Farmers With Farting Cows, Sheeps, and Pigs

  • The idiotic move will likely affect the food supply:
  • The aim is to reduce Danish greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030, said Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus.
  • As of 2030, Danish livestock farmers will be taxed 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030. The tax will increase to 750 kroner ($108) by 2035...

Reality check - Melanie Phillips

A few things the mainstream media may not have told you
  • Northern Israel on fire after Hezbollah rocket attacks, June 2024
Here are some things about the Iranian war against Israel that the objective, balanced and accurate mainstream media may unaccountably have omitted to tell you.
  • Today, the Iranian proxy army Hezbollah in southern Lebanon fired a massive barrage of more than 100 rockets towards the northern Israeli town of Safed. This attack caused a city-wide power outage.
  • Swathes of northern Israel are once again on fire as a result of rocket attacks by Hezbollah. 
  • One-third of the homes in Metulla have been demolished by rocket fire. 
  • The former mayor of the town of Safed, Ilan Shochat, said: This is Hezbollah's new strategy – intentionally firing on open areas to ignite fires and burn the north...

It is not too late for Joe Biden to go

The best that can be said of Joe Biden’s stumbling debate performance was that it took place in June.
  • For more than a year, private conversations in Washington have been dominated by the president’s ageing. But the public omerta on that topic broadly held up. That cognitive dissonance has now collapsed. 
The story is now about whether Biden can be persuaded to step down. 
The choice is his alone. 
Having crushed the Democratic nomination, Biden would be within his rights to ignore pleas to step aside. 
  • Potential alternative nominees, such as Gavin Newsom, California’s governor, and Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan’s governor, will be unlikely to speak out. The risk of being labelled a traitor and ruining their presidential chances would be too great.

Ukraine attacks Russia’s oil sector, Canada attacks Canada’s… you sure you want us in NATO? From the BOE REPORT

Energy is the lifeblood of everything and at this point in history, hydrocarbons are the blood in the system. - Terry Etam
  • Recently, Ukraine has been launching massive drone attacks against Russian oil refineries/infrastructure. Seems reasonable, what with the invasion and all. Actually, it is more than reasonable, and about as logical as it gets. The Russians know this also; when they really want to rattle chains they go after western Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
And then, as a final but impressive gasp of inept state control, witness Canada’s frantic flailing to control the situation by…Canada cracks down on any speech it doesn’t like, with sweeping rules measured against undefined regulations...
  • We’ve all heard about bill C-59 by now, the government of Canada’s crackdown on any comments related to emissions reduction mitigation efforts that do not adhere to “internationally recognized methodology”. It’s a Soviet-style attempt to crack down on any talk about what companies are doing to reduce emissions, or anything they do that is an attempt to reduce “the environmental, social and ecological causes or effects of climate change”...

Ferry companies grapple with rising threat of EV fires

Operators are implementing new measures to ensure the safety of passenger and crew on board vessels - Tom Barlow-BrownThe Naval Architect 
  • Ferry companies, which carry both large and varied numbers of vehicles and a multitude of passengers, could be particularly at risk from fires breaking out on board. 
  • This is likely to grow as more and more EVs, powered by lithium-ion batteries, are adopted for private and commercial use...
  • In 2023 several fires took place on large ro-ro vessels carrying sizable quantities of EVs. The most recent of these, onboard the Fremantle Highway, led to the death of one crew member and gutted the vessel...

Election sabotage needs to be met with the largest protests yet. Aug. 17, 2020
Rosa Brooks, left, a law professor at Georgetown, and the activists Rashad Robinson and Rahna Epting are among those contemplating what might happen if the November election is marred by dubious maneuverings.
  • This summer, a bipartisan group of former government officials, political professionals, lawyers and journalists held a series of war game exercises about how the 2020 election might go wrong. 
  • Convened by the law professor Rosa Brooks and the historian Nils Gilman, it was called the Transition Integrity Project, and the results were alarming.
  • “We assess with a high degree of likelihood that November’s elections will be marked by a chaotic legal and political landscape,” said a resulting report. President Trump, it said, “is likely to contest the result by both legal and extralegal means.”...
