RCMP Responds After Montana AG Says He Received Gun Show Surveillance Request

After Montana’s attorney general said he received a request from the RCMP to conduct surveillance at several upcoming gun shows in his state, the Mounties would not confirm any plans to attend, but said they’re often involved in cross-border efforts to stem firearms trafficking that are not aimed at lawful gun owners.

Montana’s Attorney General Austin Knudsen said last week the Montana Department of Justice and Division of Criminal Investigations had received a request from the RCMP to conduct surveillance at gun shows in Bozeman and Kalispell—a request he strongly opposes.

W. Brett Wilson pledges private funding for Singh’s pension if he calls an election already

Calgary businessman and Dragon’s Den panelist W. Brett Wilson announced he would arrange for private funding for NDP leader Jagmeet Singh if he quit propping up the Trudeau Liberals.

The proposition followed images circulating on social media of Singh getting into a $200,000 vehicle on Parliament Hill. The NDP has backed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since the 2021 election through a Supply and Confidence Agreement.

Opening CAIR’s Books

A court case might finally reveal if the Council of American-Islamic Relations has been the recipient of terrorist funding.

The Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has long been suspected of receiving funding from terrorist groups and terror-supporting countries. Now, a federal magistrate has ruled that it must open its donor files and books on its assets as part of a discovery request in a lawsuit by a former employee.

Without A Reckoning, The First U.S. Terror Attack Caused By Open Borders Won’t Be The Last

Surprisingly little news coverage followed America’s first terror attack by an illegal border-crossing immigrant on U.S. soil. On Saturday, 22-year-old Mauritanian Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi was found dead of an apparent hanging suicide in his Cook County, Illinois jail cell. America must learn from this to prevent the next attacks on U.S. soil by border-infiltrating jihadists.

Abdallahi illegally jumped the border from Tijuana to San Diego in March 2023 and was freed by U.S. Border Patrol. Under orders from the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security, Border Patrol has released millions of illegal entrants into the United States in the last four years.

The corruption scandal gripping China’s army

There are rumors of more officials in trouble, and deeper investigations into the country’s sprawling military industrial complex

In an effort to create a cutting edge force, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has spent billions of dollars expanding and modernizing its armed forces at a pace rarely seen in peace time. But on the evidence of the last few days, the most cutting edge features of its top ranks remain corruption and political intrigue.

Miao Hua, one of China’s top commanders has been suspended and is under investigation for “serious violations of discipline” — CCP-speak for corruption, according to the defense ministry. Miao, a navy admiral, is one of six members of the party’s powerful central military commission, chaired by President Xi Jinping. He was also head of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) political works department — charged with ensuring CCP control over the PLA. In the military pecking order, he was regarded as more powerful than defense minister Dong Jun. The graft allegations against him will have shaken China’s military leadership.

Kash Patel is just the man for the FBI

The FBI went rogue a very long time ago. J. Edgar Hoover was a law unto himself, and everyone in political life was a potential victim. His violations of civil rights were a national disgrace. Throughout his 48 years as director, he broke the law routinely. Like his insufferable successor, James Comey, he believed he answered to “a higher authority” — his own conscience. These are delusions of grandeur. The FBI has degenerated into one of the greatest threats to American liberty. These people think they’re above the law.

Mordor in England

Tolkien can teach the English a lot about how to make their country their home again.

One of the most surprising things about reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time is the ending. After spending many hundreds of pages fighting terrifying monsters and vast armies, the protagonists return to their home to find it overrun with a nondescript band of ruffians. The penultimate chapter is spent recounting the struggle to return the Shire to its previous condition, a process that involves rousing the demoralised hobbits to overthrow the rabble who have taken control of their land.

The immigration figures tell a story of elite failure

Mass migration has been embraced to plug the gaps in a stuttering, low-wage economy.

Remember when we were told that Brexit would lead to a draw-bridge Britain, closed to migrants forever more? That particular Remainer scare story is now, officially, defunct.

This week, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that 728,000 more people came to live in the UK than had left in the year to June 2024. That’s three to four times the net migration the UK averaged annually during the 2010s. To put that into context, nearly the same number of people arrived in the UK in a single year as live in the entire county of Suffolk.

How Trump can make education great again

Linda McMahon’s nomination to head the Department of Education was a characteristic move from Donald Trump, host of The Apprentice, who ended every episode with the words “You’re fired!”. McMahon, who co-founded the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) is no stranger to the roped ring, where she dished out slaps and once kicked her husband Vince in the balls. She has little experience in education but whatever one may think of her qualifications, to put her forward was an inspired act of populist political showmanship. It proclaimed Trump’s intention to body-slam the dysfunctional, ideologically captured bureaucracies that have brought American education to its knees.

PINDER: Trudeau the weak link in dealing with Trump tariff threat

Howard Lutnick is Trump’s appointment as the next Secretary of Commerce, a cabinet role to manage economic growth and trade relationships. In a recent interview on NBC’s Squawk Box, he frankly stated “the tariffs are a bargaining chip that should not be put in place across the board.” He also revealed one of Trump’s tactics by stating that “when you’re running for office, you make broad statements so that people understand you”.

As well, recently named Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was quoted in a Financial Times interview that “my general view is that at the end of the day he [Trump] is a free trader”.

KOOP: Singh could lose NDP leadership with risky gambit

The world seems like a more dangerous and uncertain place for Canada. Incoming President Donald Trump’s threat of slapping a 25% tariff on Canadian goods has jangled nerves from sea to sea.

Are Justin Trudeau and his government up to meeting the challenges appearing on the horizon? Increasingly, the prime minister seems to be clinging to power, which is not a position of power.

Yes, Mexico Knows Exactly What It Is Doing

Mexico understands that an open border, the destruction of U.S. immigration law, illegal immigration, and emigration of millions of its own citizens to America are entirely in its own interests.

President-elect Donald Trump recently had a “talk” with newly elected Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum about the millions who have crossed through Mexico to enter the U.S. illegally.

Afterwards, Trump reported that their conversation went well, and supposedly both had agreed to secure the U.S. border.

Something’s Burning in Trudeau’s Canada

The 70th annual session of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, held Nov. 22-25 in Montreal, hit a snag on its first evening when violent activists tried to disrupt the event.

Metropolitan police were unprepared for the organized assault. So was Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who seems to have had no inkling of the possible security risks that a NATO summit in his country might present. No, the Canadian leader wasn’t out to lunch. He was at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto.
