/0 Comments/in , /by

The murderous gunman who shot up a Texas bar in a possible terrorist attack had an Iranian flag and photos of Islamic Republic leaders in his home, according to a report.

Senegalese national Ndiaga Diagne, 53, may have been motivated by the joint attack by Israel and the US when he pulled up to Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden in Austin on Sunday wearing a “Property of Allah” shirt and started shooting, killing two people and wounding 14 others, officials have said.

After Diagne was shot dead by Austin police officers, a search warrant executed at his home revealed an Iranian flag and pictures of Iranian leaders, sources with direct knowledge told CBS News.

A Quran was also found in Diagne’s car and he was also wearing an undershirt with the Iranian flag or other Iranian symbols, The Post previously revealed.

FBI Special Agent Alex Doran told reporters on Sunday that while authorities are working to determine the exact motivation for the mass shooting, there were “indicators on the subject and in his vehicle that indicate a potential nexus to terrorism.” (Read more from “Texas Mass Shooter Ndiaga Diagne Had Iranian Flag and Photos of Islamic Republic Leaders in His Home: Report” HERE)

Link Between Cannabis and Anxiety, Depression Has ‘Strengthened Over Time’: New Study

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Science is split on whether the effects of cannabis are good or bad, with recent research showing it could boost brain power in older adults, while other studies show the purported benefits go up in smoke.

But a new study has found a growing connection between cannabis use and detrimental effects on mental health.

Smoking weed has previously been found to have an impact on the brain by altering dopamine activity that closely resembles patterns observed in psychosis.

Now, a study led by McMaster University and published in The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry has shown that increasing cannabis use and worsening mental health symptoms are appearing together more and more often.

“We see that Canadians who use cannabis tend to be more likely to meet criteria for anxiety and depressive disorders, and more likely to report suicidality,” said Jillian Halladay, an assistant professor in the School of Nursing at McMaster. “We also see that this co-occurrence has strengthened over time.” (Read more from “Link Between Cannabis and Anxiety, Depression Has ‘Strengthened Over Time’: New Study” HERE)

China Denounces U.S. as ‘War Addict’ for Strikes on Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chinese Defense Ministry on Saturday denounced the United States as a “war addict” for launching strikes on Iran, while more temperate Chinese government organs called for an immediate cease-fire.

“The U.S. is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years,” said a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman at a press conference in Beijing in remarks spread by social media accounts linked to the Chinese government.

“The U.S. has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions. The U.S. is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability,” the spokesman said.

The state-controlled China Daily wrote an editorial on Saturday saying that American and Israeli action against Iran “ignores international law” and “follows a pattern of increasing belligerence.” (Read more from “China Denounces U.S. as ‘War Addict’ for Strikes on Iran” HERE)

Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Killed; What Americans Think; What Tucker, Other MAGA Leaders Think

/7 Comments/in , , /by

By USA Today. President Donald Trump announced on Feb. 28 that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in joint strikes on Iran.

The president’s declaration came about an hour or so after an Israeli source confirmed Khamenei’s death to USA TODAY. Reuters and CNN had also reported that Khamenei had been killed during the U.S. and Israel joint operation on Feb. 28.

“Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS.”

“This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country,” Trump added

Iran’s Foreign Ministry, however, has continued to insist that Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian are “safe and sound.” (Read more from “Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Killed, Trump says” HERE)

Airstrike horror as ’85 schoolgirls are killed in Iran’ and Trump’s base turns on ‘evil’ war

By The Daily Mail. At least 85 people have been killed in an airstrike on an elementary school in southern Iran, the government in Tehran claims.

The majority of the dead are schoolgirls aged between seven and 12, according to the regime-controlled news outlets Tasnim and Fars.

Missiles struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in the the city of Minab, in Hormozgan province, on Saturday morning as the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran.

Sources inside Iran told the Daily Mail that reports from the regime should be viewed with skepticism as a propaganda offensive is being waged under the fog of war.

A teacher at the school told the London-based outlet Middle East Eye that she saw bodies on classroom benches. She had stepped out when she heard the blast and returned to find carnage.

Tucker, Other MAGA Leaders Strongly Opposed to War

By Iker Seisdedos. This Saturday, Trump stated that Washington had launched, in alliance with Israel, a massive attack against Iran with the aim of forcing a regime change in that country. This not only breaks his repeated campaign promises of not sending the United States into wars abroad; it also directly conflicts with the great MAGA slogan: America First. Does prioritizing the interests of the United States mean overthrowing the brutal dictatorship of the ayatollahs, who have been in power since 1979?

The answer is no, according to former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG), who was once one of the president’s most loyal allies in the Capitol until her fall from grace and subsequent resignation from politics, as she had moved to the uncomfortable side of those opposing Trump. MTG wrote on X: “The Trump admin actually asked in a poll how many casualties voters were willing to accept in a war with Iran??? How about ZERO you bunch of sick f**king liars. We voted for America First and ZERO wars.”

In another message, the former representative from Georgia shared a video of a school that was attacked during the early morning bombings, where, according to Iranian authorities, dozens of people died, many of them girls. She accompanied it with this text: “I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress. This is heartbreaking and tragic. And how many more innocent will die? What about our own military? This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be. Shame!” With these messages, MTG, who announced this week “the end of MAGA” if Trump decided to attack Iran, summarized the rift that has opened for Trump among his most loyal supporters.

. . . Tucker Carlson, who, shortly after learning of it, described the military operation to ABC News as “absolutely disgusting and evil.” Carlson, whose ties to Qatar are well known, also said it would “shuffle the deck” of the MAGA movement “in a profound way.”

Whether the far-right influencer is right will depend on the consequences of Saturday’s strike. Or whether all of this ultimately serves to prove the ability of Trump’s loyalists to adapt to rules that for some time now can be summed up in a single principle: whatever the leader says.

Breitbart News’s Lucas Nolan reported that Anthropic is engaged in “contentious negotiations with the Pentagon,” and that the “dispute centers on Anthropic’s insistence on specific safeguards regarding how its AI models” can be used by the Department of War:

CNBC reports that AI startup Anthropic finds itself locked in contentious negotiations with the Pentagon over the terms of its defense contract, with discussions remaining ongoing as of Thursday. The dispute centers on Anthropic’s insistence on specific safeguards regarding how its AI models can be deployed by the military.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Billionaire San Francisco Giants owner, his son and several board members all attended a secretive Bohemian Grove men’s club camp, according to a report from SFGate.

Details about the Bohemian Club’s membership exploded into public view after a leaked, searchable list of the exclusive membership was published.

The club’s invite-only membership and secrecy has fueled countless conspiracies since it was established in 1872, especially as many of the members were believed to be drawn from America’s political and business elite.

And the exclusive membership has now been confirmed, with the list identifying the likes of late night talk host Conan O’Brien, billionaire Michael Bloomberg and ex-Google boss Eric Schmidt as members.

The California Post confirmed the authenticity of the list, which named 2,000 people and the camps they belonged to when they descended on Monte Rio, two hours north of San Francisco, in 2023.

According to the SFGate report, Giants owner Charles B. Johnson — who is worth $6.1 billion — his son and club chairman, Greg, attended one of the camps that year. (Read more from “Billionaire California Sports Team Owners Attended Super-Secret Bohemian Grove, Leaked List Reveals” HERE)

Shocking report exposes terrifying reality of assisted suicide in Canada

/0 Comments/in , /by

Patients in Canada are having their lives ended by assisted suicide on the same day that they submit their paperwork requesting it, according to a shocking new report.

A total of 65 people died under the country’s Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) program on the same day they applied for it in 2023 in Ontario, a report from the Chief Coroner of Ontario’s Medical Assistance in Dying Death Review Committee (MDRC) revealed.

A further 154 patients were helped by the state with ending their lives the day after the request was made, the report states.

In one shocking case, a woman in her 80s, only referred to as Mrs. B, had her life ended under the country’s euthanasia program despite withdrawing her request — when her husband and caregiver requested it again on her behalf. . .

Her spouse then requested another euthanasia assessment, which deemed Mrs. B eligible despite her expressed desire to opt for palliative care instead. (Read more from “Shocking report exposes terrifying reality of assisted suicide in Canada” HERE)
