A gas explosion in a coalmine in Iran’s South Khorasan province has killed at least 51 people and injured 20, Iran’s state media said. The accident was caused by a methane gas explosion in two blocks, B and C, of the mine run by the Madanjoo company, state media said on Sunday. The governor of South Khorasan province, Ali Akbar Rahimi, told state TV: “Seventy-six per cent of the country’s coal is provided from this region and around eight to 10 big companies are working in the region, including Madanjoo company.”

The urge is to gloat but those people were probably better people than those running the Iranian government. They use a lot of slave labor.

If coal is submerged in water there is a react to produce methane.Without enough fresh air being blown in, the methane reaches explosive concentratlons.

It Is Biden and Harris Who Are Not Doing
Enough to Free the Hostages

Why should Hamas agree to a ceasefire when its refusal is blamed on Israel by the president of the United States? In addition, when Biden blames Israel, he encourages other allies, such as Great Britain, Canada, France and Germany, to do the same. [Biden] blamed Netanyahu alone without even mentioning Hamas. And this was after Hamas terrorists had murdered six hostages, including an American. Although Biden did say that the Hamas killers would pay a price for the murders of the hostages, he did not say that Iran— which controls Hamas— would pay any price, including increased sanctions, or worse, unless the hostages, including the Americans, are released, unharmed, immediately.

As Democrats revel in Vice President Harris closing the polling gap against former President Trump, speculation is ramping up over who might serve in a potential Harris Cabinet if she prevails in November. Any Cabinet appointee would likely face a razor-thin Democratic-controlled or GOP-controlled Senate, meaning Harris would have to balance partisan realities with her desire to break the mold with her choices, like naming the first woman to head the Pentagon.“I’m sure it will be very diverse. I think it will be a mix of people who have been around Washington for a while in these kinds of roles because she respects that,

Everyone in my business takes lumps for things they say. That comes with the territory. What’s different is getting smeared for something you verifiably didn’t say. This has been the project of malicious accounts on X the last few days that have insisted that I said a racial slur during an appearance on “The Megyn Kelly Show” last weekend. These ridiculously false accusations on social media — that have been rebutted even by people who disagree with me politically — have now resulted in cancellations in the real world.

The French presidential palace unveiled a new center-right government Saturday, more than two months after elections that produced a hung parliament and deepened political divisions as France grapples with economic and diplomatic challenges. Conservative French Prime Minister Michel Barnier put together the government after weeks of difficult negotiations, and President Emmanuel Macron approved it. The new government was announced at the presidential palace. A left-wing coalition secured the most seats in June-July elections but failed to win an outright majority. The 38-member Cabinet announced Saturday includes primarily ministers from Macron’s centrist alliance and the conservative Republicans party.

A tidal wave of cheap Chinese imports floods the national market. Industries reel, companies crumble and factories close their doors for good. The livelihoods of countless families disintegrate. This could be a description of the original “China Shock,” the long-term result of the United States’ policy of “free trade” with China, which cost America 2.4 million jobs between 1999 and 2011. But it also describes what countries across the globe are facing right now: a massive glut of vital industrial inputs and high-value goods, courtesy of Chinese overproduction. Just look at Latin America,

New York magazine’s Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi was placed on leave after she had an alleged romantic relationship with former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr while covering his campaign. Nuzzi, without naming the 70-year-old Kennedy scion, admitted in a Thursday night statement that earlier this year “the nature of some communications between myself and a former reporting subject turned personal.” The 31-year-old star political reporter insisted the relationship was not physical in nature.

Back in the late 1980s to early 1990s, the only people with pagers were doctors and drug dealers. And if you happened to be friends with a doctor or drug dealer, you learned to call the pager and leave a numeric code. (We even figured out a way to pass along football scores.) This communication process wasn’t turnkey, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. But pagers, of course, went the way of the typewriter and telegraph machine. Nowadays, the only people who still use pagers are, well, doctors and drug dealers. (Lots of hospitals have lousy cell reception, so the medical staff is armed with pagers.)

Democrats have complete control of the state government in Colorado. The last Republican governor left office in 2007. The last time Republicans controlled one of the legislature's two chambers was 2019, and Democrats currently hold a supermajority in both the House and the Senate. Over the past decade, Democrats have enacted a number of new gun control laws, including "universal" background checks, a ban on "large capacity" magazines, and a "red flag" law, as well as repealing firearms preemption and allowing localities to pass their own measures more restrictive than state law. So how's that working out for the state?

“When somebody does a bad job, I fire them,” said former President Donald Trump during his recent debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. On the other hand, “They never fired one person. They didn't fire anybody having to do with Afghanistan,” Trump said, referring to the Biden-Harris administration. “Look at the economy. Look at the inflation. They didn't fire any of their economists. They have the same people.” Although Trump’s comment about the Biden-Harris administration’s propensity to not fire incompetent officials who have screwed up royally over the past four years did not garner the attention it rightfully deserves, it certainly struck a chord with me and many more Americans.

Shocking new details were released by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Friday of US military brass ignoring President Trump’s request for security on January 6th. President Trump knew there would be a massive crowd of Americans at the planned rallies outside the US Capitol and at the Ellipse that day. So, Trump ordered the National Guard to be deployed to the US Capitol prior to the planned protests on January 6. The newly surfaced transcripts, which were previously concealed, reveal the truth that many in the mainstream media have ignored.

Of all the things that Kamala Harris is unfit to do, of all the duties she should never be entrusted with, commander-in-chief of the American armed forces and the national intelligence apparatus has to be at the top of the list. That is not, however, preventing over 700 "national security officials" from endorsing her in her POTUS run. That's an endorsement that is almost as chilling as her endorsement by the tax collectors union.

Media titan Barry Diller wants to see former President Donald Trump “pushed into the dust heap of history” come November, claiming a Kamala Harris presidency would be “extraordinarily healthy” for America. Speaking at a recent business summit in West Hollywood, Diller — the mogul who runs the left-wing Daily Beast, among many other media properties — glossed over the many failures of the Biden-Harris administration, including record consumer prices, an unprecedented tidal wave of illegal immigrants, and the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. None of that appears to matter to Diller. What does matter is getting rid of Trump.

The Secret Service in America not only failed to protect President Trump from nearly getting assassinated on two occasions, but it’s so discombobulated that agents are now shooting themselves. WUSA 9 revealed today that a United States Secret Service (USSS) agent was on duty Saturday evening right before 8 p.m. when he “negligently” discharged his weapon and shot himself. The incident reportedly happened near 32nd and Fessenden Streets in northwest Washington, DC. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover from his injuries. The Secret Service is not making any further details public at this time as they plan to investigate what happened.
