‘Trump is the only hope for peace’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza

That the Trump campaign would open an office in Hamtramck, a tiny city of around 28,000 people north of downtown Detroit, less than a month before the election, speaks to a particular curiosity of the 2024 presidential race.

About 40% of Hamtramck’s residents are of Middle Eastern or north African descent, 60% are believed to be Muslim Americans, and the city has an all-Muslim city council.

Last week, as Israel was expanding its war into Lebanon and continuing its daily bombardment of Gaza, scores of locals – many immigrants from Bangladesh, Yemen and other Arab- and Muslim-majority countries – lined Joseph Campau Avenue to attend the official opening of Trump’s office.

Canada expels Indian high commissioner, five other diplomats

Canada has expelled six Indian diplomats, including the high commissioner.

A senior government official with knowledge of the situation says the expulsions come as Canada has evidence of ongoing violent criminal activity linked to the Indian government.

Angry India accuses Canada of ‘preposterous’ investigation

India has reacted angrily after being told by Canada that its ambassador and other diplomats were named as “persons of interest” in an investigation in the country.

The foreign ministry in Delhi said it received the news in a diplomatic communication from Canada on Sunday, and reserved the right to respond. “The Government of India strongly rejects these preposterous imputations,” it said.

The statement refers to allegations last year by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the Indian government may have been behind the killing of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil. Delhi has repeatedly rejected the allegation.

Trudeau is a disaster at home or abroad.

Man says he has been ‘left to rot’ after Covid vaccine

On 15 December 2021 Larry Lowe’s life changed.

He was 54, rarely ill, fit, healthy and running 10km most days – until he got the Pfizer Covid booster.

Within days he developed numbness in the right side of his face and started experiencing pain.

“I had lost all the feeling in my face, teeth, nose, tongue, eye, that whole side of my head,” he said.

The Liberal revolt is about Trudeau, communications, and the carbon tax

The hopes of an anxious Liberal caucus were first raised at the end of the summer of 2022 in the resort town of St. Andrew’s, New Brunswick.

Liberals had gathered that August for the first in-person retreat after the pandemic to confront a series of polls that found them trailing the leaderless Conservatives by a few points.

Antisemitic, anti-American political cartoon book lands on kids table at Brooklyn library

A Brooklyn mom was horrified to find a book of antisemitic and anti-American political cartoons as part of a kids display on world cultures at a Bed-Stuy library this week.

“A Child of Palestine,” by Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali, is filled with disturbing Jewish stereotypes and offensive images — including Jesus Christ on a cross kicking an Israel soldier.

So must Trudeau, so must Chow.

JD Vance shocks NYT reporter with his nuanced takedown of illegal immigration: ‘People will do those jobs’

Republican vice presidential hopeful JD Vance calmly fended off questions from a reporter who suggested a crackdown on illegal immigration could exacerbate the housing crisis.

Vance, 40, who has long contended that illegal immigration reduces the housing supply and therefore sends prices soaring, brushed aside any notion that illegal immigrants are paramount toward building more houses.

“About a third of the construction workforce in this country is Hispanic. Of those, a large proportion are undocumented. So how do you propose to build all the housing necessary that we need in this country by removing all the people who are working in construction?” New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro pressed him.

Officials demand more empty platitudes & increase for insincerity budget after 2nd shooting at Jewish girls school

Officials call for ‘concrete action’ after 2nd shooting at Jewish girls school

Schools shouldn’t have to have bulletproof glass or metal detectors.

That was the message delivered Sunday at Bais Chaya Mushka School for Girls, which had a window shot out early Saturday morning in the Finch Ave. W.-Dufferin St. area. It was the second time since May that the North York school was targeted with gunfire.

It was on May 26 when multiple shots were fired at the building in the first case. No injuries were reported, but there was damage to the front of the school.

Trudeau must import all of Gaza to Canada to enhance our mosaic of diversity!

Hezbollah Tunnel Entrances Abut U.N. Peacekeeping Position, Israel Alleges

LABBOUNEH, Lebanon—On a forested mountainside near the border between Israel and Lebanon, two tunnel shafts descend dozens of feet into the rocky earth.

Around 300 feet away, the blue United Nations flag waved atop a peacekeeping observation post.

The Israeli military took a group of reporters into Lebanon on Sunday to see the shafts, which it said were among hundreds of tunnel entrances and underground bunkers used by Hezbollah militants to store weapons and hide fighters west of the Lebanese village of Labbouneh.
