The gruesome footage shows Sajjad Heydari strolling through a neighborhood in Ahvaz, a city in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, on Saturday with Mona Heydari’s head in one hand and a blade in the other, East2West News reported. Mona, who also was Sajjad’s cousin, had been forced to marry him when she was just 12 years old, according to the Women’s Committee of the National Council...

Over the weekend Georgia gubernatorial candidate and far left activist Stacey Abrams forced a number of small children to wear masks during a visit to a local elementary school. The photo went viral and Abram's hypocrisy was roundly condemned. In response, Abram's team claimed she wore a mask during the event and only took it off for photos and to speak. They also accused critics of racism during Black History month. But now, additional photos of the event obtained by Outkick show Abrams took more than one photo and did not wear a mask for the event. "OutKick has obtained...

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger said Tuesday that an officer conducted a security check of a Capitol Hill office that was left open, rejecting a GOP congressman’s claim that police were involved in an illegal probe last November. In a Twitter thread Tuesday, Rep. Troy E. Nehls (R-Tex.) claimed without evidence that “The @CapitolPolice Intelligence Division investigated my office illegally and one of my staffers caught them in the act.” Nehls accused Capitol Police leadership after one of the officers entered his office in the Longworth House Office Building with no prior notice Nov. 20, 2021, ahead of the...

The homotrimeric spike glycoprotein (S) from SARS-CoV-2, particularly its S2 subunit, is a fusion protein extraordinaire. It can fuse viral particles to cells and also fuse cells to cells to create multifarious syncytia among different cell phenotypes. Depending on which exact versions are under consideration, the spike can perform these feats via multiple mechanisms acting at both the intracellular and extracellular sides of cell membranes. These fusion functions are somewhat analogous to typical homotrimeric ENV (envelope) proteins like our syncytin-1 endogenous retroviral ENV protein, and the GP160 ENV glycoprotein from the HIV virus. GP160, the HIV 'spike' protein, is ultimately...

Highway 402 traffic cameras showed transport trucks backed up beyond Airport Road in Sarnia at about noon Tuesday on the highway’s westbound lanes approaching the Blue Water Bridge. Transport trucks were backed up to Mandaumin Road and Sarnia’s city limits on Highway 402’s westbound lanes Tuesday afternoon while provincial police advised drivers to find different routes into the city. The roughly 20-kilometre logjam on the highway leading to the Blue Water Bridge came even after the Ambassador Bridge border crossing between Windsor and Detroit had reopened to U.S.-bound traffic after an anti-vaccine mandate demonstration had blocked both directions on Monday...

The Kansas Senate voted 27-11 on Tuesday to override Gov. Laura Kelly’s (D) veto of the legislature’s proposed congressional map. Tuesday’s successful override vote comes one day after the state senate initially failed to override the governor’s veto. On Monday, the Kansas Senate fell three votes shy of the 27 votes required to override the governor’s veto.

Isn’t it great how science changes overnight? Now, masks are no longer necessary. The science changed, you see—or was it the polling? New Jersey, California, and Delaware—all blue states—are lifting their mask mandates within the next few weeks. It’s just funny how California lifted their rule after Gov. Gavin Newsom was caught maskless at the NFC Championship game. What’s being missed is that he was taken photos with a maskless Magic Johnson who up until recently was living with HIV. The point is the man who was most at risk of getting a nasty bout of COVID due to health...

Prime minister follows Donald Trump playbook by tacitly endorsing wild conspiracy theory to score points What started out as a conspiracy theory meme on the outer reaches of the internet has, with the help of Boris Johnson, swiftly established itself amid the cocktail of ideas and conspiracies that define the new extreme right. The protesters who surrounded Keir Starmer on Monday night mostly shouted the word "traitor"-once a term of abuse against pro-EU MP's during the Brexit crisis-as well as "paedophile protector", a reference to false claims about the Labor leaders links to the Jimmy Savile case. The amalgam of...

Liberal MP Joël Lightbound lightly criticized some of the stances of Canadian Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday. Within hours, the peer and party pressure upon him led to his removal from his position as Chairman of the Quebec caucus. Lightbound encouraged the Trudeau government to provide targets to lifting restrictions; he was not implying that public health measures should be lifted immediately. He also committed the cardinal sin against COVID by asking for epidemiological data behind restrictions to be published, so people can see the information determining what measures need to be in place. Transparency is against the...

Yes, it's going to create more than 500 good-paying jobs in Tennessee, but it can deliver greater dignity and little more breathing room...

WASHINGTON — Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is criticizing the Republican National Committee for censuring two House GOP lawmakers investigating the “violent insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, saying it’s not the party’s job to police the views of lawmakers. As former President Donald Trump has downplayed the attack by his supporters last year — the worst attack against the Capitol in two centuries — the RNC last week took a voice vote to approve censuring Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois at the party’s winter meeting in Salt Lake City. The two Republicans sit on a...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The White House on Tuesday slammed Florida Republicans over a proposal to ban discussions of sexual orientation or gender identity in the state’s schools. A White House spokesperson weighed in on the legislation, dubbed by activists as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, shortly after a GOP-controlled committee approved the measure. “Every parent hopes that our leaders will ensure their children’s safety, protection, and freedom. Today, conservative politicians in Florida rejected those basic values by advancing legislation that is designed to target and attack the kids who need support the most – LGBTQI+ students, who are already...

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced a bill on Tuesday that would allow servicemembers who were discharged over the Biden administration’s military coronavirus vaccine mandate to be reinstated, Breitbart News has exclusively learned. The bill, called the Service Restoration Act, would also prevent troops from facing punishment or any adverse treatment as a result of not wanting to get vaccinated. “Adverse action” would include retaliation, punishment, disparate treatment, a requirement to wear a mask or reside in sub-standard housing. The bill would also allow reinstated service members to count the time they were discharged towards their retirement benefits and expunge from...

An anonymous teacher from Baltimore's Patterson High School has come forward with crucial information to support the claim that fully 77 percent of students at the troubled institution have an elementary school – or lower – reading level. The Post Millennial has previously reported on the fact that Baltimore high school students' performance is often several grade levels below their actual grade, but new information brought forth shows us the depth and scope of the issue. According to a Fox outlet in Baltimore, despite the fact that Patterson is "one of the largest high schools in Baltimore," only 12 of...
