‘It’s been madness’: US federal workers reeling over Trump-Musk takeover

US government workers are describing an atmosphere of “fear” and “madness” as they grapple with a barrage of executive orders issued by Donald Trump and threats to their jobs from the office of personnel management, the agency tasked with managing the federal civil service, which has been taken over by the billionaire Elon Musk.

Weeks before the administration transition, federal worker unions reported low morale among workers in anticipation of pushes for intimidation, mass firings and harassment.

Netanyahu and Trump meeting to focus on Gaza ceasefire deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected on Tuesday to become the first foreign leader to visit the White House since Donald Trump’s return to office.

The two leaders are set to discuss the state of the current ceasefire between Israel and Hamas Islamists in Gaza and explore paths toward ending the conflict altogether.

Prior to his arrival, Netanyahu’s office announced that he would dispatch a delegation to participate in a new round of negotiations in Doha, Qatar, later this week.

Crombie, Stiles pounce on Doug Ford’s hot mic admission that he ‘100%’ wanted Donald Trump to win election

Doug Ford‘s hot mic admission that he “100%” wanted Donald Trump to win the U.S. presidential election has jolted the snap Ontario vote.

That’s because Ford framed the Feb. 27 campaign as a referendum on who could best deal with Trump’s threatened tariffs against Canada.

But the Progressive Conservative leader was caught Monday on a hot mic at his Etobicoke campaign office confiding that he had hoped the Republican Trump would beat Democrat Kamala Harris last November.

El Salvador offers to lock up US criminals in its mega-jail

El Salvador has offered to take in criminals deported from the US, including those with US citizenship, and house them in its mega-jail.

The deal was announced after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Salvadorean President Nayib Bukele during his visit to the central American nation.

Bukele – whose iron-fist approach to gangs has won him plaudits from voters but been heavily criticised by human rights groups – said he had offered the US “the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system”.

LILLEY: Trudeau gave Trump last-minute concessions to avoid tariffs

Why did it take so long?

Justin Trudeau got a last-minute reprieve from Donald Trump on the 25% tariffs that were set to take effect, but only after a lot of drama, a drop in the stock market and the Canadian dollar dropping briefly into 67-cent territory.

Why so long? Because Canada’s China class along with Justin’s Khalistan pals made out like bandits.

It’s official: Islamic blasphemy laws have come to Britain

A man was arrested at the weekend after allegedly burning a copy of the Koran – no, not in Iran or in Saudi Arabia, but in Manchester, in the UK. Apparently, it can now be a criminal offence in 21st-century Britain to express your distaste for a seventh-century religion.

The arrest followed a livestream on social media that appeared to show a 47-year-old man setting light to the Koran, page by page, on Saturday. This was just two days after Salwan Momika, an Iraqi atheist, was assassinated in Sweden, seemingly as punishment for burning copies of the Muslim holy book in public.

Early elections are the best solution to tariffs, says Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet

Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet believes that early elections remain the best way to negotiate with the Donald Trump administration, which has just carried out its threat to impose customs tariffs on Canada.

Blanchet said he had not changed his position regarding the possible overthrow of the Liberal government on March 24. According to him, elections “as quickly as possible” will allow for a new Parliament that will be able to negotiate “in a sustainable manner” with the United States.

Someone has to beat this idea into Trudeau’s head.

Drone attack kills youngest British fighter in Ukraine minutes into first mission

A Russian drone attack killed a British teenager on his first combat mission after joining the Ukrainian army.

James Wilton, who had recently turned 18 and was from Huddersfield, is the youngest Briton to have died defending Ukraine from Vladimir Putin’s invasion.

While walking across a field with a group of international fighters delivering supplies to the front line on July 23 last year, he was spotted and chased by three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
