Iraq engulfed by yet another dust storm, leaving dozens hospitalised and flights grounded
Iraq was yet again covered in a thick sheet of orange on Sunday as it suffered the latest in a series of dust storms that have become increasingly common. Dozens were hospitalised with respiratory problems in the centre and the west of the country. A thick layer of orange dust settled across streets and vehicles, seeping into people's homes in the capital Baghdad. Flights were grounded because of poor visibility at airports serving Baghdad and the Shiite holy city of Najaf, with the phenomenon expected to continue into Monday, according to the weather service. "Flights have been interrupted at the airports of Baghdad and Najaf due to the dust storm," the spokesperson for the civil aviation authority, Jihad al-Diwan, said.

UK female Labour MP accused of lying about 'desperate, perverted smears', another MP quits after watching porn in Parliament
It's time for people to know the truth. On a chilly evening just after the turn of the year, in between the evening votes, about a dozen MPs gathered in the House of Commons for a cigarette break. Standing among them - positioned by the balustrade that sits opposite the large double doors leading out to Parliament's long Thameside terrace - was Angela Rayner. Labour's Deputy Leader was engaging in the usual light-hearted banter that MPs of all parties indulge in when they feel the political spotlight is off them. Then she began to share a joke about how she tries to distract Boris Johnson when they sit opposite one another at Prime Minister's Questions. According to one MP who was part of the group, 'she said, "I like to do my Sharon Stone trick. I cross and uncross my legs and give him a flash of my ginger g******" [a vulgar and offensive colloquialism].' A second MP, who was with the group, also recalled hearing her use the phrase.

Panicked CNN guest wonders "how we're going to control the channels of communications in this country"
Declares that if Elon Musk 'controls discourse' "We are headed to hell." A CNN talking head declared Sunday that if Elon Musk is allowed to buy Twitter, the platform will have to be government regulated to prevent 'discourse' being open and free, and not subject to establishment controlled censorship. While discussing the Musk take-over on CNN's potato time with Brain Stelter, "media analyst" David Zurawik proclaimed that Musk is "dangerous" and shouldn't be allowed to restore free speech on the platform.

Nearly half of Israeli youths not optimistic, 33% thinking of emigrating
A new survey of young Israeli adults has found that nearly half of the population in the occupied territories is not optimistic about the future of the Israeli entity, while more than one-third of people are thinking about immigration to find jobs and improve their lives. The poll was conducted by the Israeli Fenima research center as part of an investigation to find a solution to reduce social fragmentation within the Israeli society. The research center described its findings, which were published by the Hebrew-language Israel Hayom daily newspaper on Sunday, as "worrying" and wrote that 33% of Israeli youths are considering immigration from the occupied lands. Also, 44% of them feel there is no future for the regime. Issues such as rising living costs, security situation and social divisions are among other reasons for young Israeli adults to mull over leaving the occupied territories.

Conservatives urge Texas AG Paxton, Gov. Abbott to declare southern border crisis an 'invasion'
For nearly a year, conservatives in Texas have been calling on state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Gov. Greg Abbott to declare the influx of people and drugs illegally entering Texas as an invasion. It's been a month since Republican state Rep. Matt Krause, chair of the Committee on General Investigating, requested Paxton to provide a legal opinion on the matter. He asked Paxton to determine if the federal government has failed to uphold its obligations to protect Texas from invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution and whether Texas has the sovereign power to defend itself from invasion. Responses usually take a minimum of 180 days. However, speculation continues over whether Paxton will issue an opinion before the May 24 runoff election after not receiving 50% of the vote in the March 1 primary election. Krause and others have told The Center Square the AG's office is working on the opinion. Paxton's office didn't respond to requests for comment.

'Never let a crisis go to waste': USAID ghoul Samantha Power opines that food shortages 'will lead farmers toward green energy'
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Chief Samantha Power claimed on This Week Sunday that food shortages will push farmers toward green energy. Power said food prices have increased 34% globally, prompting her agency to ask Congress for assistance in easing the food shortage crisis on a global scale. She said the agency is working with farmers across the globe to transition to "natural solutions" that are, according to her, in their best interest. "We're working with farmers to also increase their production so you actually have more supply brought on market. Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia's a big exporter of fertilizer, and even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia," she said. "As a result, we're working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost, and this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually, anyway. So, never let a crisis go to...

Solomon Islands PM suggests Australia's reaction to China security deal is hysterical and hypocritical
The prime minister of Solomon Islands has accused the Australian government of hypocrisy over his country's security deal with China, saying the Aukus pact was far from transparent but he "did not become theatrical and hysterical". Manasseh Sogavare said Solomon Islands and other countries in the region "should have been consulted to ensure that this Aukus treaty is transparent since it will affect the Pacific family by allowing nuclear submarines in Pacific waters". The Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, hit back on Friday afternoon, suggesting that Sogavare had changed his view based on "other influences" and that there was a "remarkable similarity between those statements and those of the Chinese government".

US government shamelessly defends DHS 'Ministry of Truth'
Homeland Security chief says the task force is the exact opposite of George Orwell's infamous brainchild The newly unveiled 'Disinformation Governance Board', operating within the US Department of Homeland Security, has triggered a massive pushback, forcing DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas to make several appearances on national TV in an attempt to clarify how the unit will operate. Many critics, including top Republicans, have blasted the initiative as a crackdown on free speech, akin to a 'Ministry of Truth' taken from the pages of George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984.

The new head of the ministry of truth has a long history of spreading misinformation
From Douma to Russiagate to Hunter Biden's laptop Nina Jankowicz has spread almost every fake news story from the security state. Joe Biden has recently created a Disinformation Governance Board as part of the right-wing department of homeland security. To head this board Biden chose Nina Jankowicz a woman with a long history of spreading disinformation and attacking journalists critical of American empire. Some Background on Nina Jankowicz In the independent outlet Mulitpolarista, journalist Ben Norton wrote an in-depth expose of Jankowicz's background. According to Norton's investigation, Jankowicz started her career working for the National Democratic Institute, an extension of the C.I.A cutout the National Endowment for democracy. When working there, Jankowicz worked on "democracy assistance programs" in Russia and Belarus. These were most likely regime change operations given the fact that the National Endowment for Democracy and its offshoots have been caught attempting...

True the Vote's Catherine Engelbrecht: 'Mules' went on routes trafficking ballots 'repeatedly, day after day' ahead of the 2020 election
Dirty voter rolls, the mass use of mail-in ballots, and privately-funded drop boxes "combined together to create an easy pass lane for fraud," as "mules" — or ballot traffickers — trafficked thousands of ballots, likely altering the outcome of the 2020 election, True the Vote president and founder Catherine Engelbrecht told Breitbart News Saturday. Engelbrecht, who leads the election integrity organization True the Vote, previewed the upcoming film by Dinesh D'Souza, 2,000 Mules, which blows the lid off of the "organized crime" that took place leading up to the 2020 election. The film used data obtained by True the Vote, as Engelbrecht noted that they had so many calls "that had a similar characteristic of concern around what was happening with mail ballots and drop boxes." Because of that, they focused on that issue. "We geo fenced or put a sort of a digital fence, if you will, around all the drop boxes, and then we bought a tremendous amount of cellphone data and cellphone data...

Head of EU state added to Ukraine's 'enemies list'
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been added to the notorious online database pro-Kiev activists use to blacklist people they consider enemies of Ukraine. The Mirotvorets ('Peacemaker') website was created in 2014 as a public database of "pro-Russian terrorists, separatists, mercenaries, war criminals, and murderers." It contains links to social media accounts and personal information, such as home addresses, phones, and emails. Orban is listed as "an accomplice of Russian war criminals," and an "anti-Ukrainian propagandist." The website mentioned that the Hungarian PM refused to back an embargo on Russian oil and gas, among other things. He also broke ranks in the EU by refusing to send weapons to Ukraine or allow the transit of foreign weapons to Ukraine through Hungarian territory.

Illegal immigrant population grew by 1 million in Biden's first year, analysis finds
The illegal immigrant population in the United States increased by roughly 1 million during President Joe Biden 's first year in office, according to a new analysis. A study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform viewed by Fox News estimates that the population of illegal immigrants had jumped from 14.5 million in 2020 up to 15.5 million. The analysis from the conservative group found that the increased numbers cost taxpayers at least $143.1 billion, a $9.4 billion increase from 2020. FAIR, which favors strong border security, attributed the increased number of illegal immigrants to the following: an improving economy after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and Biden rolling back Trump-era immigration policies. The study said of the economy: "Businesses are once again hiring, and many unscrupulous employers are using this as an opportunity to turn to reliably cheap labor to undercut the market and make up for lost profits resulting from economic shutdowns stemming...

Guarantee that? Dana Bash corners Mayorkas with concerns disinfo board will monitor Americans
CNN anchor Dana Bash pressed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the Disinformation Governance Board, asking whether he could guarantee that it wouldn't result in an arm of the federal government monitoring the speech of everyday American citizens. During a Sunday morning interview on State of the Union, Bash also asked whether Mayorkas would have trouble accepting a similar board created under a President Donald Trump — or the current board falling under Trump's control if he were to be reelected as president in 2024.

'The supply chain does not exist': Green energy industry is in for a rude awakening
Renewable energy prices have skyrocketed while new wind and solar installations have plummeted over the last year, even as governments continue to forge ahead with ambitious climate plans. While the U.S., European Union, other Western nations and international organizations have all pursued aggressive climate agendas that involve expanding renewable energy technology and infrastructure, prices have surged and profits have declined, according to industry reports and corporate earnings reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. President Joe Biden has made a series of climate pledges, including a commitment to decarbonize the grid by 2035 and achieve net-zero economy-wide emissions by 2050, while pushing a long list of anti-fossil fuel policies. Commodity markets tied to global renewable energy development have been roiled by inflation, supply chain issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and, more recently, Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Even as project demand has stayed high,...

Are Russia-Israel relations facing a temporary challenge or definite deterioration?
Israel sees an existential threat in everything, because it is a state like no other; it cannot close its eyes at night and sleep soundly when the rest of the world is stormy. It was created after decades of a game between superpowers, and it maintains this balancing act today. This is very obvious during the war in Ukraine where, under pressure from the West, Israel is tending to favour the Ukrainians while hoping that Moscow understands the reasons why. However, relations between Russia and Israel are deteriorating very fast as Tel Aviv has been forced to choose which side it is on. Claiming that the occupation state could act as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine is unrealistic; the war in Ukraine is not merely a dispute between neighbours, but a confrontation between the creators of Israel — Western Europe and the US — on one hand, and Russia on the other. Israel, of course, is indebted for its creation and ongoing existence to the Western Bloc, and no matter how much it...
