Donald Trump has threatened to impose sanctions on Ukraine as well as Russia if the two sides fail to reach a peace agreement.
In an Oval Office meeting with Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, Mr Trump likened the war in Ukraine to a fight between two young children in a park.
“Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart,” Mr Trump said.
Rare black iceberg spotted off Labrador coast could be 100,000 years old, prof says
A rare black iceberg spotted off the coast of Labrador is making a splash on social media after a fish harvester living in Carbonear, N.L., took a photo of it while fishing for shrimp last month.
Originally from the Faroe Islands, Hallur Antoniussen was working with a crew on board the Saputi factory freezer trawler off the coast of Labrador in mid-May.
The sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs continued on Thursday with more dramatic testimony, including that of a third alleged victim.
Judge Arun Subramanian admonished the disgraced music mogul on Thursday after he noticed him ‘nodding vigorously’ at the jury, warning that he would kick him out of hid own trial if he continued the behavior.
Subramanian’s stern warning came just before a third alleged sex trafficking victim, known only as ‘Jane’, took the stand.
The Waterloo Regional District School Board (WRDSB) has apparently approved training material for staff that alleges the term “family” is racist.
According to internal documents published June 4 by independent media outlet Juno News, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation is telling staff at the Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School that the term “family” is rooted in white supremacy.
Can you imagine the outrage in our media if this slur were leveled against Muslims or Jews?
I hope parents launch a hate crime complaint.

A cargo carrier transporting hundreds of electric vehicles from China to Mexico is on fire off the United States, leading to fears over the dangers of the lithium batteries on board.
All 22 crew members of the vessel, the Morning Midas, have abandoned ship after they were unable to bring the fire under control. They were picked up by another cargo ship, the Cosco Hellas, from a lifeboat floating in the mid north Pacific, near the international date line between Japan and Alaska.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has done something truly conservative. His government’s proposed rule changes for colleges, universities and school boards are aimed squarely at shifting power away from the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) crowd and weakening their control over education.
It’s welcome news for anyone who thinks that public education should be about learning and diversity of ideas, not a playground for political activists.
I hope he’s right.
Contemplating Prime Minister Mark Carney at his meeting with provincial premiers on Monday, I find myself recalling Harry Houdini.
The great escape artist would have himself handcuffed and locked in a box, only to emerge behind you through the front door, five minutes later.
My goodness! How did he do that?
The Supreme Court unanimously decided that “majority groups” don’t have to provide more evidence than other groups to show discrimination. SCOTUS sent the case, Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services, back to the lower courts on Thursday, ruling that the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals had improperly required Marlean Ames, the plaintiff, “to satisfy a heightened evidentiary standard” to prove that her gay co-workers acted with a “discriminatory motive.”
Will the injustice never end?
As the Trump administration continues to enact the will of the voters by tightening the borders that the Biden administration opened wide to import millions of illegals to vote Democrat, panicked Left-wing media propagandists desperately try to prop up their narrative that the President is a cruel, xenophobic dictator.
Fritz Alphonse Jean, de facto president of Haiti, is calling from a well-appointed office in the Villa d’Accueil, temporary home of the Haitian government. It is an island of calm in what Mr. Jean calls the country’s “situation of war.”
The machinery of state has been forced to largely relocate from the National Palace, a grand neoclassical building in Port-au-Prince that typically houses the country’s leaders, because of regular gunfights between heavily armed gangs and the habitually underpowered police.
Until very recently, Britain was inhabited almost exclusively by white Europeans. First, the Celts, then the Germanic tribes who became the English, and then the closely related Vikings. Our DNA was more or less settled by 900 AD. A smattering of others came over the next thousand years; Norman descendants of Vikings in 1066, and then a tiny number of Jews, Huguenots, African or Asian individuals associated with Britain’s empire, and even escaped slaves from the USA. But these were few and rapidly assimilated, becoming British and part of our island story.
The German establishment is desperate to obscure the Islamist motive behind this terrible tragedy.
A year after the deadly Islamist terrorist attack in the German city of Mannheim, the debate over what lessons to draw from it remains bitterly contested. Even the question of how to commemorate the attack, in which a police officer was killed and several members of the public seriously injured, has been anything but straightforward.
The federal police force clarified the nature of its investigation into the Israel-Hamas conflict after the probe sparked media coverage and raised concerns from pro-Israel advocates in response.
Elon Musk claimed Thursday afternoon that President Donald Trump is ‘in the Epstein files’ – a dramatic escalation amid their spectacular falling out.
Musk also suggested that Trump should be impeached – and replaced with 40-year-old Vice President J.D. Vance.
Moments before the Epstein charge, Trump had taken to Truth Social and said he had asked Musk to leave his administration and said the billionaire went ‘CRAZY!’
JUST IN: President Trump responds to Elon Musk, says he doesn't know if they will be able to get along anymore.
Trump also spoke about Elon's help in Pennsylvania and the EV tax credit.

The establishment doesn’t favor Muslims out of love and respect for Muslims. They do it because they fear them.
Over coffee in Budapest recently, a visiting European lawyer told me her son had withdrawn as a student at Sciences Po—the familiar name for the elite Paris Institute of Political Studies—because he no longer felt safe there. The reason? An atmosphere of intimidation around pro-Palestinian activism, and antisemitism.
The young man is a Christian, but he concluded that the Sciences Po administration had lost control of the situation and had no intention of restoring order. It wasn’t just the 2024 campus protests, which were eventually broken up by the police. It was more a matter of an overall culture of intolerance and bullying within one of France’s top institutions of higher learning.
Get used to it. As Europe moves steadily towards Islamization, this kind of thing will become the norm.
