Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the U.S. presidential election will have profound consequences for international relations over the next four years and beyond.
While domestic issues were likely at the forefront of most voters’ minds when they cast their ballots, there is no denying that many Americans think that the world has become a more dangerous place during the tenure of the Biden administration.
WASHINGTON—The wheels are now in motion to help President-elect Donald Trump act on an ambitious “day one” agenda involving a range of policy and personnel shake-ups, such as mass deportations and the firing of generals.
Transition staff, and the handful of outside policy shops that have been offering their input, are helping to craft executive orders that would implement some of his proposals. Transition personnel are also working to incorporate his vision for various agencies in their planning efforts.
Here are some of Trump’s campaign promises for how he will spend his first day in office…

America’s Catholic bishops are giving President-elect Donald Trump a mixed reception ahead of his second term. Following Trump’s overwhelming victory in Tuesday’s election, Archbishop Timonthy Broglio, head of the Military Archdiocese and president of the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ Conference (USCCB), issued a statement congratulating the 45th and 47th President on his victory.
After Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory, Teresa Shook wasted little time: Shocked into action, the retiree took to Facebook as soon as she learned the results and with one post sparked a movement that would eventually become the Women’s March, then the largest single-day demonstration in American history.
But this year, in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s second election, she’s in no mood to organize.

Even those of us who were appalled by Kamala Harris’s campaign, the ever more embarrassing interviews during which she could not answer the simplest of questions unless they were what she ate for breakfast, did not realize that employing celebrity endorsers cost millions of dollars. Most of us probably assumed that those who graced her rally stages or interviewed her for television or podcasts did so because they actually supported her. We were wrong.

The Democrats are once again shocked to discover that women do not vote in accordance with their genitals.
How quickly things change. At the start of this week, women voters were being feted as the voice of reason in America’s ‘gender-gap election’. To the Democratic elites, it was inconceivable that women would back Trump over a ‘joyful’ woman of colour. They assumed all they needed to do was remind women that in the privacy of the voting booth they alone choose who to endorse and the votes for Kamala Harris would come flooding in. It’s now clear that plenty of women took this advice to heart. But they voted for Trump, not Harris. As I wrote on spiked before the election, the idea that women would win it for Kamala was always likely to be ‘more hype than reality’.
No shortage of crazy white women who voted for Harris.

On the night he recaptured the presidency, Donald J. Trump declared that “it’s time to unite” and “put the divisions of the past four years behind us.” That was then. It took only 55 hours for him to begin threatening again to use his newly reclaimed power to investigate those who anger him.
Peeved at what he called “fake, untrue, and probably illegal rumors” that he might sell shares of the social media platform that has become a prime source of his wealth, Mr. Trump went online to deny such plans and demanded that those spreading such speculation “be immediately investigated by the appropriate authorities.”

Footage from a new docuseries that seeks to prove the existence of aliens appears to show an unidentified aircraft descending into the English Channel.
Netflix’s Investigation Alien follows journalist and ufologist George Knapp as he assembles a crack-team to prove their existence – and it has yielded evidence such as this.
An expedition commissioned for the Knapp docuseries captured the clip – their second sighting that night.
George Knapp is well regarded so this should be a pretty good show.

– There is a jumbled camera move at the head of the piece, and then the reset to stability. This serves to a break the audience from their own day, and freshly enter this world.

The Women’s March, formed to fight Trump, but which turned out to be an antisemitic hate group, melted down a while back. But since Trump is back, the Women’s March has announced that it’s back too.
President Harris?

You can’t legally play road hockey on Celebration Square or on the streets of Mississauga, but you can hold a ceremony to mourn the death of the mastermind of the Oct. 7, 2023 slaughter of more than 1,200 Jews.
This is not an exaggeration.
In one of those strange anomalies and double standards of woke Canada, the City of Mississauga has now made that clear in a news release posted to X Sunday.
Who decided importing incompatible cultures to Canada was a good idea?
In a recent “Pod Save America” episode, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor openly criticized Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign, calling his decision to run again a “catastrophic mistake.”
Favreau noted that Biden’s team dismissed his unpopularity and public frustration with inflation, insisting it was “the greatest economy ever.”

Last weekend a foreign conflict spilled out onto Canadian streets as Khalistani activists, a small subset of the Sikh diaspora who want to see India’s Punjab region become an independent Sikh state, held rallies outside Hindu temples across the country. They were protesting Indian consular officials being hosted at their places of worship.
The demonstrations came amidst heightened tensions between Canada and India, following incredible allegations from the Canadian government involving interference and assassinations levelled against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.
