In an alarming display of ideological instrumentalization of state institutions, the Bundestag’s police commissioner, Social Democrat Uli Grötsch, has openly called for the expulsion of all police officers who are members of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), the country’s number one opposition party. The proposal has ignited a political storm, as it signals an unprecedented political purge within one of the pillars of the state: law enforcement agencies.
As G7 leaders gather in Kananaskis, Alta., a new poll suggests Canadians are souring on the U.S. and embracing relations with other world powers.
The Pollara Strategic Insights survey found net impressions of the U.S. have plunged since President Donald Trump returned to office in January.
At the same time, Canadians are feeling positive about the other G7 member nations: Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.
It has been clear that there has been growing tension between Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump over the possibility that Israel would launch an attack on Iran.
Trump has been telling the Israeli leader that he doesn’t want him to do this now and to wait, while the US administration continues nuclear negotiations with the Iranians.
But the Israelis clearly thought that they had their opportunity to act.
They believe that the Iranians are as debilitated as they are going to be in the region after last year’s degradation of Hezbollah in Lebanon – that took away a huge deterrent factor from Israel.
Mixed signals.
#Iran all nuclear facilities are now history!
What #Trump was negotiating with #Iran to not to make atom bombs, #Israel finished all of them in 30 minutes.
If #Isreal falls, entire Europe will fall.
Everybody will be affected.Great job @IDF

The government’s leader in the House of Commons told the Liberal MP spearheading a drive to grant jailed Hong Kong publisher Jimmy Lai honorary citizenship to shelve a motion supporting its award, just before she was about to present it on Wednesday.
Judy Sgro, a veteran Liberal MP, had gained the support of MPs from all parties for a unanimous consent motion raising the plight of Mr. Lai, who has been held in solitary confinement for four and a half years.
Mr. Lai, a British citizen and publisher of the now shuttered pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper, was arrested in Hong Kong on conspiracy and sedition charges in December, 2020.
Sens. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Angus King (I., Maine) introduced a bill Thursday that would ban pharmaceutical manufacturers from using direct-to-consumer advertising, including social media, to promote their products.
The bill would prohibit any promotional communications targeting consumers, including through television, radio, print, digital platforms and social media. It will apply to all prescription drug advertisements.
“The American people don’t want to see misleading and deceptive prescription drug ads on television,” Sanders said in a statement. “They want us to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and ban these bogus ads.”

Protests during the upcoming G7 leaders’ summit in Kananaskis, Alta., may be starkly different than demonstrations happening this week against immigration crackdowns in the United States.
A University of Toronto research group that has been monitoring the meetings of world leaders since 1998 says its analysis shows Canadian protests are more peaceful and smaller.
But similar to the recent demonstrations in Los Angeles, they’re likely to be against the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Well it will give Trump a measure of the loons he’ll inherit should he ever annex us.
The IDF has started to attack dozens of Iranian nuclear sites.
Warning sirens have been set off to get the public ready for potential Iranian counter attacks of ballistic missiles on Israel.
Iran has not yet fired ballistic missiles, but has thousands of them.
X-Thread featuring military status
President Trump told @BretBaier that he was aware of the strikes beforehand.

The former CEO of the Canadian subsidiary of China’s largest bank says he was instructed to “ignore” Canadian law and “circumvent” Canadian regulators, alleging he was fired for not following these directions.
Lubin Wang, 51, former head of ICBK, the Canadian subsidiary of the state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), China’s largest bank, filed a lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for wrongful dismissal earlier this year, alleging he was pressured to scale back or abandon efforts to comply with Canadian regulations.
In the midst of the riots that have raged across Los Angeles in response to the Trump administration’s raid to apprehend criminals, Mexican flags have emerged as a prominent emblem of the rioters’ lawless defiance.
While the New York Times gushed that the rioters’ usage of the flag represented “pride in their heritage,” most Americans saw it for what it was: a symbol of conquest. But many leftists are now making that very argument, that it represents a reclamation by Mexico of land supposedly “stolen” by the United States.
A Vaughan, Ont., resident who fired a gun at five suspects who were attempting to steal a white Lamborghini has been charged, police say.
York Regional Police were called to Pine Heights Drive, near Major MacKenzie Drive West and Highway 400, at approximately 4 a.m. Thursday for a report of a vehicle theft in progress.
While an emergency dispatcher was on the phone with the caller, police said, the sound of gunshots was heard. It’s unclear who made the 911 call.
“It conditions us to be governed by minorities, dissolving the natural bonds of society,” says Javier Milei’s right-hand man.
Agustín Laje, Argentine political scientist, writer, and one of the most prominent intellectual voices of the new Latin American Right, is known as President Javier Milei’s closest ideologue. The author of impactful books like Cultural Battle and Idiot Generation, Laje has managed to combine theoretical reflection with political action.This year, he was one of the keynote speakers at CPAC Hungary 2025, held in Budapest—the largest gathering of the international Right in Europe. He shared his views on wokeism, the structural weaknesses of the European Union, the differences between European and Latin American right-wing movements, and the challenges facing parties like Vox in Spain.
Mark Carney, the newly installed Prime Minister of Canada, recently gave a speech at an Eid al-Adha celebration in Ottawa.
The event was hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC).
In his speech, Carney told his fellow Canadians that “all of us must come together – around the values of Eid.”
He added, “The values of community, of generosity, and yes, of sacrifice. These are Muslim values, these are Canadian values.”
When will Canada have a real leader and not some shitty assed carpetbagger like Carney?
The inhuman campaign to cull the elderly, disabled and mentally infirm lives on in ‘progressive’ clothing.
In a letter dated 1 October 1940, Helene M wrote to her father from an asylum in the southern German town of Stetten (1). An epileptic, Helene had been chosen for ‘transport to another facility’. But, in the context of Nazi Germany, she knew what that really meant.
‘Today I must write these words of farewell as I leave this earthly life for an eternal home’, she wrote. ‘I do not want to part from you without asking you and all my dear brothers and sisters once more for forgiveness, for all that I have failed you in throughout my whole life. May the dear Lord God accept my illness and this sacrifice as a penance for this.’
The market share for electric vehicles tumbled in the first quarter of the year to the lowest level since early 2023, new numbers show, raising doubts about the federal government’s aggressive targets for battery-powered vehicles.
Zero-emission vehicles accounted for just 8.7 per cent of all new vehicle registrations in the first quarter, down sharply from 18.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2024, according to Statistics Canada.
Joly says the Libs intend to revive the subsidy for rich people to buy EV’s.
Carney and pals are likely heavily vested in the green-scam to liberate your money for their gain.
A Spanish teacher has defended himself after being fired after reading a passage from To Kill A Mockingbird to his class that included the n-word.
Matthew Mastronardi, who worked at West Valley High School in Spokane, Washington, had overheard students discussing the classic Harper Lee novel in his classroom when he was asked to read a passage aloud, which included the n-word.
His students, according to Mastronardi, said they skipped over the controversial slur within the text as per another teacher’s instructions.
