Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vows vengeance in fiery first statement

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vows vengeance in fiery first statement

Published by Sam Flores

Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, issued a fiery first public statement Thursday, vowing to keep blocking the vital Strait of Hormuz oil trade route and attacking neighboring countries that host U.S. military bases. The written statement was one of defiance, even as President Donald Trump indicates that he would like to wrap up the conflict soon as global energy markets face an economic shock from the strait’s closure. The health and current whereabouts of the new leader, 56, are still both unclear, after Iranian state TV previously indicated he had been wounded in the wave of U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, and several of their relatives. Even on Thursday, state TV offered no explanation for why Khamenei did not appear in person, with only a written statement attributed to him read out by an announcer. Israel has previously indicated it would target anyone appointed to succeed the slain elder Khamenei, and experts suggest the written statement poses less security risk to the new supreme leader …

Starmer Hammered In Fiery PMQs For Giving Peerage To ‘Paedophile Apologist’

Starmer Hammered In Fiery PMQs For Giving Peerage To ‘Paedophile Apologist’

Published by Sam Flores

Keir Starmer was accused of filling his government “with paedophile apologists” by opposition leaders during a brutal prime minister’s questions today. Starmer’s former comms chief Lord Doyle had the Labour whip removed on Tuesday over his links to a convicted sex offender. Doyle campaigned for a former Labour councillor, Sean Morton, after he had been charged with child sex offences in 2017. Though this was reported late last year, the prime minister still promoted his former aide to the upper chamber just two weeks ago. Doyle’s suspension from Labour comes days after fellow peer, Lord Mandelson, quit the party as the depth of his friendship with convicted padeophile Jeffrey Epstein emerged. The PM appointed the former Labour grandee to be the UK’s ambassador to the US last year though Mandelson was sacked in September. The Doyle scandal adds to the mounting public anger over Mandelson, and puts even more pressure on Starmer who is fighting to save his job. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch torched the prime minister over the two incidents in PMQs, saying: “The …

Jenrick and Badenoch go to war in fiery Daily Express showdown | Politics | News

Published by Sam Flores

Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick have each vowed to rescue Britain from Labour’s grip following their explosive split. In duelling articles for the Express, both promised to fight for the country’s future after one of the most dramatic days in Westminster. The turmoil erupted on Thursday when shadow cabinet minister Mr Jenrick defected to Reform UK, hours after Mrs Badenoch publicly sacked him on social media. Writing in the Daily Express, the Conservative Party leader said: “Conservatives know Britain cannot be fixed with slogans or grievance politics. It will be fixed with credible, conservative solutions. I will not talk this country down when I know how great it can be. I will tell the truth about what is broken – and then I will fix it. “Britain has faced harder moments than this and emerged stronger every time. Labour are making a terrible mess of the country but, as we have done throughout history, I am confident the Conservative Party will be ready to clean up that mess. We have the team, the plans and …

A fiery chili-cheese stew from Bhutan

A fiery chili-cheese stew from Bhutan

Published by Sam Flores

In Bhutan, chilis aren’t just a spicy ingredient that makes eyes water and tongues wag. They’re an everyday kitchen staple, a decoration drying outside homes, and a tool to ward off bad spirits and illness. For this tiny Himalayan nation, chilis are planted in the nation’s cultural identity. Dried, fresh, red, or green chilis appear in nearly every meal served in Bhutan. It’s rumored that Bhutanese households eat more than two pounds of chili per week, making it the world’s highest consumer per capita of this spicy ingredient and the most important crop in the country. So, fittingly, Bhutan’s national dish is ema datshi, which translates to chili peppers and cheese. This simple, fresh food is made by simmering fresh chilis with onions and cheese. “Ema datshi isn’t just a dish—it’s everyday comfort food in Bhutan, shared at home and deeply rooted in our culture,” says Kharka B. Chhetri, Executive Chef at Pemako Bhutan. Like a vegetable at any table in the United States, ema datshi is a constant at breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout …

Directing her attention to the high-profile crowd, which included stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Julia Roberts, the comedian admitted that she couldn’t believe “the amount of star power we have in this room tonight.” “It’s insane. There’s so many A-lsters. And by A lists, I do mean people who are on,” she continued, before delivering the Jeffrey Epstein-veiled punchline, “A lists that …
