If they have any instinct for self-preservation, Iran and Hamas should be monitoring President-elect Donald Trump’s communications closely these days.
A couple of weeks ago, there was the Truth Social post promising “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas didn’t release its hostages by Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
A Wisconsin mom has accused her dyslexic son’s school of denying him additional support because he is white.
Colbey Decker said Green Bay Area School district is discriminating against her child by prioritizing racial minority students for access to special education services.
According to The Telegraph, Ms Decker said in a letter threatening legal action last week that her son, who is in the fourth grade, was denied entry to his school’s literacy program for almost a year because he was not part of a racial minority.
Some Liberal MPs said Tuesday Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can’t carry on as party leader after the humiliation of Chrystia Freeland’s public resignation from cabinet and another bruising byelection loss in B.C.
The calls for Trudeau to resign are coming from some of the same people who have said he should go in the past.
But some MPs who previously were on the fence — or even defended the prime minister in the past — are now coming forward to say it’s time to turn the page on the Trudeau era.
As fans of science fiction movies, Superman comics and old Louis Theroux documentaries know all too well, there are few things more American than paranoia about what exactly is in the airspace above us. In recent days and weeks, that’s hit fever pitch after a spate of mysterious drone sightings over the skies of at least six eastern states have led to something approaching panic.
Since the middle of last month, drones have been spotted in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio and Virginia, in areas ranging from residential streets to military sites. Two of those locations – near a US military facility, Picatinny Arsenal, and president-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course, both in New Jersey – were of particular concern.
Startling image of mystery drone over US air base in UK revealed as bombshell report claims FBI has known about swarms over military sites for a year
Pope Francis has revealed he was targeted by suicide bombers during a visit to Iraq, but was saved when British intelligence tipped off local police who killed the bombers before they could strike.
The attacks were planned in 2021 during his visit to Mosul, where Iraqi Christians had been persecuted during the town’s occupation by Islamic State fighters between 2014 and 2017. Francis said he was told of the planned attacks as soon as he flew into Iraq to start his visit in March that year.
Another by-election, another massive defeat for the governing Liberals. On Monday night, it was citizens in Cloverdale—Langley City, in Metro Vancouver, who delivered the blow. Two-thirds of voters opted for the Conservative, former MP Tamara Jansen, just 16 per cent voted Liberal Madison Fleischer, a 2021 university graduate who spent much of her campaign avoiding questions about her shaky claims to Metis heritage.
Someone give this guy his pension already so we can all head to the polls
The shallowest man in Canada had quite the day on Monday when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland launched her volley of Molotov cocktails on the way out the door. Years of hypocrisy, pandering, and spinelessness laid bare for all the world to see as now former minister Freeland apparently decided she had had quite enough of bilking Canadians and subjecting them to ludicrous policies for the sole purpose of political expediency. What will this poor man do now? I refer, of course, to Jagmeet Singh.
In fairness to the Prime Minister, who knew that if you spent three months undermining your own Finance Minister, refusing to express confidence in her while your underlings trash-talked her to the press, then told her over a Zoom call that you were about to move her out of her plum job into another with no staff or power or responsibilities but, by the way, would she please stay on long enough to deliver a mini-budget with a $62-billion deficit in it so you could make it look like that was why you were firing her and then give her job to Mark Carney, she would take it the wrong way? Women, eh?
If an election were held today, 45% of committed voters would vote Conservative, while 20% would vote Liberal, and 18% for the NDP. The BQ has 39% of the vote in Quebec. All of the movement from the last survey is within the margin of error but this represents the largest Conservative lead in our tracking history and the lowest Liberal vote share since 2015.
The federal government is promising a suite of measures to disrupt the flow of fentanyl and strengthen 24/7 surveillance of the Canada-U.S. border — including outfitting the RCMP with helicopters, drones and mobile surveillance towers and creating a new joint “strike force” to go after organized crime.
Newly sworn-in Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, flanked by a handful of cabinet colleagues, provided more details Tuesday about how the government plans to spend $1.3 billion to secure the Canada-U.S. border and allay U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s concerns about irregular migrants and drugs.
I call BS. Trudeau will deliberately botch this to punish Canadians.
Chrystia Freeland’s resignation from cabinet on Monday has encouraged some Liberal MPs to double down on their efforts to push Prime Minister Justin Trudeau out of the top job.
Trudeau faced frustrated MPs at a hastily arranged caucus meeting on Monday night. One MP who was in the room told CBC News that most of the 15 MPs who spoke at the meeting said Trudeau has to step down after mismanaging his once-crucial relationship with Freeland,
A number of other MPs have now publicly called on the prime minister to step aside and let someone else lead the Liberals into the next election.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ deputy campaign manager admitted there is zero value in Democrats talking to outlets like The New York Times (NYT) and The Washington Post (WaPo) because those outlets are already in the tank for the party.
Rob Flaherty told Semafor’s Max Tani that the Harris campaign decided to skip interviews with major corporate press outlets because data showed readers of outlets like the NYT and WaPo already supported Harris.
The fall of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad overturned the most profitable drug-smuggling network in the Middle East, exposing the former regime’s role in manufacturing and trafficking pills that fueled war and social crises across the region.
Captagon, a methamphetamine-like drug that has been produced for years in Syrian labs, helped the Assad regime amass huge wealth and offset the impact of punishing international sanctions, while also allowing allies such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia to profit from its trade.
