Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Federal law enforcement agents on Wednesday searched the home of Trump-era Department of Justice lawyer Jeffrey Clark, whose push to pursue shaky voter fraud allegations following the 2020 election caused uproar at the DOJ—and drew intense scrutiny from the House January 6 committee Thursday. Key Facts Clark confirmed the search in a Thursday night interview with Tucker Carlson, telling the Fox News host about a dozen federal agents visited his home at 7 a.m. Wednesday and spent over three hours searching his house and removing electronics. It’s not clear why federal agencies searched Clark’s suburban Virginia home, but unnamed sources told the New York Times the search was tied to the DOJ’s probe into attempts to reverse former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. William Miller, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office in D.C., told Forbes “there was law enforcement activity” … [Read more...] about Feds Search Trump DOJ Official Jeffrey Clark’s Home

The opposition will be going after the government for its botched happy plant decriminalisation and legalisation laws. Or, specifically, their lack of details and the loose ends left dangling for Thais and foreigners to navigate. Politics aside, the June 9 announcements about the C plant in Thailand were broadly misinterpreted to be a blanket legalisation of the plant and all of its derivatives. The actual details and legislation haven’t even been tabled in parliament for debate, so the opposition is now targeting the government over its botched announcements on, what some believe, is a crucial societal issue that requires a proper debate. The opposition parties, led by Pheu Thai and Move Forward, will likely focus on hot issues like underage addiction, school kids and drugs, illicit drug use in Thailand, perils of long-term use, dangers to society, among a myriad of topics. The topic also brings additional focus to the deputy PM and public health minister, Anutin … [Read more...] about Thailand News Today | Backlash over sloppy happy plant guidelines

ASL ASHA, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Noor Shah Mohammad was serving as a Taliban soldier hundreds of miles from home when disaster struck early on Wednesday morning. A powerful earthquake reduced much of his village to rubble, killing residents as they slept including his wife, father, two sisters and a brother. When he heard the news, he said his heart raced and he panicked; he hitched the first ride he could find to take him to Asl Asha, close to the town of Gayan, where he found scenes of devastation. "I wasn't here, I was in Panjshir," Mohammad told Reuters, referring to the valley north of Kabul where Taliban forces have been fighting former members of Afghanistan's ousted, Western-backed army. "This is my house. I have lost five members of my family," said the heavily bearded 25-year-old, speaking amid the ruins of his home perched on a hill near the rugged mountains of Afghanistan's eastern border. "I lost my father, my wife, two sisters and a brother ... I have to … [Read more...] about Taliban fighter returns home to dead family and ruins after earthquake

KABUL (Reuters) - A devastating earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, which killed at least 1,000 people and flattened homes in remote villages close to the Pakistani border, poses the biggest challenge yet for the Taliban since they seized power nearly a year ago. The hardline Islamist group is governing an impoverished country beset by severe drought, widespread hunger and economic crisis and where the effects of decades of conflict are still keenly felt. A regional offshoot of Islamic State has also claimed several major attacks, challenging Taliban promises to bring peace and stability to Afghanistan once it had defeated Western-backed troops and forced NATO soldiers to withdraw. Now the earthquake risks exposing the limitations of an administration largely isolated from the outside world and desperately short of cash and resources. While humanitarian assistance continues to flow, aid needed for longer-term development in Afghanistan was halted when the Taliban stormed … [Read more...] about Analysis-Taliban’s isolation makes Afghan earthquake response harder

Republicans in Congress praised the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Friday, which overturned Roe v. Wade’s holding that Americans have a constitutional right to an abortion. Associate Justice Samuel Alito wrote for a six-justice majority that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.” Associate Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch joined Alito’s majority opinion, while Associate Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts issued concurring opinions. Alito’s final opinion was similar to a leaked draft opinion showing that the justices would overrule Roe. Republicans praised the ruling while denouncing a pressure campaign against the justices stemming from the leaked draft opinion.

Sadly, we are seeing exaggerations and economy with the truth in the reports on the ongoing war in Ukraine. (Illustration by Suneesh K.) Cataclysmic global events have a long history of bringing out the best and the worst of news reporting. It isn’t any different today in the midst of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia . Much of the reporting has been brave and moving. Sadly, there’s also been news bordering on downright fabrication . Little, it would seem, has changed since the Great Moon Hoax of August 1835 when the New York-based paper The Sun carried a series of six reports about how English astronomer Sir John Herschel, using the biggest telescope ever built, had established that there was an alien civilization on the moon. The Sun claimed that Herschel had sighted vegetation, “brown quadrupeds”, and “large winged creatures, wholly unlike any kind of birds.” The writer of the story later claimed that it was meant to be satirical but by then enough Americans had bought … [Read more...] about Russia Ukraine conflict: The fine line between misreporting and propaganda about Ukraine

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin At one time it easy to determine which new vehicles were made in America. That would have been any models built and sold by the domestic-brand players, including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and certainly American Motors. Then things began to blur in the second half of the 20 th Century as U.S. automakers rebranded and cars built elsewhere in the world to help compete with the flood of fuel-efficient small European and Asian imports reaching our shores. Buick would come to sell cars built by Germany’s Opel, while Chrysler offered renamed Mitsubishis from Japan; Ford’s Capri came from Ford of Europe, and General Motors imported models from both Japan’s Suzuki and South Korea’s Daewoo. The waters would muddy even further as Asian and European automakers built assembly plants of their own in the U.S., the domestic brands moved some production to Mexico and Canada, and parts would be sourced from just about everywhere in … [Read more...] about Do You Know Which Are The ‘Most American’ Cars For 2022?
