What they didn’t tell you is that this “motorcycle factory” was also making engines for Iranian missiles.

“An explosion was heard in the city of Mashhad in Iran, according to local social media reports.

According to Iran International, the incident occurred in a motorcycle production factory.”

“The “motorcycle engines” factory in Mashhad Iran that exploded this morning was more than what you think:

Apparently the Tizpar Toos motorcycle factory have also manufactured missiles engines for the IRGC under the radar.

The company is related to Tiz Pars Technical & Engineering Co. Which has been identified as a front company for the Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group (SHIG), a key player in Iran’s missile development.“

This is how The NY Times lies… by projecting their own undeniable truths onto others

“First the nearby newspapers shrank, and hundreds of local reporters in the region became handfuls. Then came the presidential elections of 2016 and 2020, and the pandemic; suddenly cable networks long deemed trustworthy were peddlers of fake news, on the right and the left.

No, those on the right weren’t suddenly lying, you just constantly accuse them of that for truths you didn’t like, such as the laptop from hell or russiagate.

And it isn’t just since Trump came along, the left has been lying about everything they don’t like for thousands of years.

“The idea of connecting Sicily to mainland Italy is not a new one. The Roman Empire, King Charlemagne, and modern Italian governments have attempted, in different eras, to move beyond the planning phase, but the costs, time required, and challenges of such construction in an earthquake-prone area have led each attempt to be abandoned before work could begin, writes Newsweek.”

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump orders Alcatraz prison to be reopened and expanded to house the ‘dregs of society’

I would like to give full-throated support for this idea; however, Bob Hoge at RedState noted in a column he wrote earlier today, that Alcatraz was 3 times as expensive to operate than any other federal penitentiary at the time it shut down in 1963 (original info source from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, https://www.bop.gov/about/history/alcatraz.jsp).

The Boss has been issuing dire warnings about our national debt, with awfully good reason. Can we afford to reopen Alcatraz? Right now, color me skeptical.

“During the trip, Abbas will announce the demilitarisation of his own Fatah movement as well as other Palestinian factions based in refugee camps in Beirut and across Lebanon.

Sources said Abbas has already agreed to a plan to remove Fatah’s weapons from the camps.

He will also explicitly call on other Palestinian factions fighting against the Israeli occupation to disarm—a move likely to be welcomed in Tel Aviv but one that could provoke serious unrest within Palestinian society.”

The Democrats have a stranglehold on 90 percent of the seats of power, especially at the state-level, but in the bigger cities, too. Republicans have a one-seat majority in the State Senate. If not for that…
