Trump and Intelligence Community Are on a Collision Course as Deadline to Release JFK Files Looms

The keepers of America’s secrets are scrambling. They have two weeks to “present a plan” to President Trump “for the full and complete release of all” records related to President Kennedy’s assassination. Expect intelligence agencies to clash with the White House and public skepticism to grow.

“All is riddle,” Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “and the key to a riddle is another riddle.” Americans have puzzled over Kennedy’s assassination ever since his death at Dallas in 1963. After his slaying, the myth of Camelot was created, and it grows to this day.

I imagine Poilievre looks to the Star for advice on most matters …

A drop in public opinion polls has spooked Pierre Poilievre. Is his best strategy still Justin Trudeau?

Are the federal Conservatives flailing?

In the span of a week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has gone from his previous description of Canada as a country where “everything is broken” to basking in a sea of red and white, and an election-style speech asking supporters, staff and MPs: “Who’s ready to put Canada First”?

Jack Mintz: Will the real Liberal party please stand up?

“I don’t get it.” This phrase comes to mind as I listen to senior Liberal politicians proposing to reverse a decade’s worth of Justin Trudeau’s policies that they willingly pushed while in power. Now they’re signing on to new oil pipelines, internal trade reforms and reversal of carbon and capital gains taxes. When you peel off the onion’s skin, however, you realize it’s still a stinky onion.

LILLEY: Liberals claiming foreign interference on Ruby Dhalla laughable

Wait, the Trudeau Liberals are suddenly concerned about foreign interference?

That’s what they want you to think after they kicked Ruby Dhalla out of their leadership race, but it’s not believable.

As the Liberal Party broke the news, first leaking it to CBC before telling the public or the candidate, they made sure to include concerns about Dhalla and foreign interference.

Donald Trump keeps talking about Canada as the 51st state. Why isn’t King Charles saying something?

On this side of the world’s longest undefended border, U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated comments about Canada becoming the 51st state have led to outright rejections of the idea as a “non-starter,” spontaneous bursts of national pride and dogged determination to “buy Canadian.”

The comments have also prompted a question from some, who wonder about the role of Canada’s head of state as Trump repeatedly casts his eyes and rhetoric northward:

Why hasn’t King Charles said anything about all this?

Charlie can’t even look after his own people, he’s happily insulated and by all indications unconcerned about the Islamist shithole England has become.

Military now accepting recruits with asthma, ADHD, the undead, and other conditions amid staffing shortage

Military now accepting recruits with asthma, ADHD and other conditions amid staffing shortage

As the Canadian Armed Forces continue to try and dig out of a deep recruitment hole, they’re starting to give new recruits with medical conditions a shot at joining the military rather than automatically turning them away.

Maj.-Gen. Scott Malcolm, the military’s surgeon general, says the forces will now consider applicants with “any and all conditions” for enrolment, including ADHD, anxiety and asthma.

“With all medical conditions there’s a spectrum,” said Malcolm. “So those that are on the lower end to medium spectrum are unlikely to have any challenges getting in.”

Donald Trump’s first month as U.S. president was planned political disruption not chaos

It only looks like chaos.

In just a month in office, Donald Trump has sown disorder if not bedlam at home and worldwide by promulgating a dizzying number of executive orders, attacking long-time United States allies, imperiling many of the globe’s principal trade patterns, throwing tens of thousands of government workers out of work, ending long-time foreign-aid programs, questioning established notions of American civic life – and more.

MSNBC liberal mainstay Joy Reid’s show has been canceled as part of a major overhaul by the network’s new president Rebecca Kutler, according to a report.

The 7 p.m. program hosted by Trump critic Reid, 56, will be replaced by a new panel show featuring co-hosts Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, and Symone Sanders Townsend, the New York Times reported, citing insiders.

Pity as she was a reliable loon.

Conservatives projected to win German election – as AfD surge into second

The centre-Right Christian Democrat Union party has won the German election according to an exit poll released on Sunday evening.

Friedrich Merz, the CDU leader, is projected to win 29 per cent of the vote, after a campaign dominated by economic stagnation, migration pressures and growing uncertainty over how best to secure the future of Ukraine.

The far-Right Alternative for Germany party, which had high-profile backers including Elon Musk, has come second place with 19.5 per cent. It marks the strongest result for a far-Right party since the Second World War.
