Karoline Leavitt, the current White House Press Secretary, has become a target of intense criticism, particularly among progressive women. Critics often mock her perceived smugness, performative outrage, and fashion choices. Leavitt is accused of playing a role designed to provoke liberals and cater to the MAGA base, understanding her primary function is to troll.

While this behavior may appeal to some, it ultimately projects a negative image, making her a source of embarrassment and potentially deterring others from aligning with the same political ideology.

Reports of drone attack near Baghdad airport at Victory Base have started to surface, and it seems like we’re wading into some complicated territory. The initial details are still emerging, but the core of the issue revolves around an unmanned aircraft targeting an outpost at Taji military base, located in northern Baghdad. Thankfully, according to the Commander of Baghdad Operations, Lieutenant General Walid Al-Tamimi, there were no reported casualties from this incident.
Now, here’s where things get interesting, and where the confusion, and perhaps, the potential for escalation, starts to brew. The first thing that pops into mind is the recent, and let’s be honest, incredibly short-lived ceasefire between Israel and Iran.… Continue reading

Meanwhile, there were reports of damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities, which Iran is now working to restore.

He urges world leaders to firmly back regime change to encourage the Iranian people to take action. However, some European powers are still calling for de-escalation and negotiation, which Pahlavi believes would be a mistake.

The whole thing plays out like a poorly written script, where the plot twists are both predictable and infuriating. We’ve got a declared ceasefire, trumpeted across the digital world, and then…missiles. Lots and lots of them. It’s almost as if the timing was, shall we say, less than ideal.

Amidst the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, the Canadian government is arranging commercial flights for Canadians seeking to leave both countries. Canadians are being urged to make their way to neighboring countries like Jordan, Turkey, and Armenia, where consular services have been boosted. These flights are expected to be available immediately, as airspace closures necessitate departure from these “neighboring jurisdictions”.
