Undermining America

The breakdown at the border has at once become a symbol of our polarization and an accelerant of it.

In raising the issue of immigration during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Donald Trump repeated online allegations that migrants were eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio. Those claims and the media response to them have overshadowed the bigger policy picture. While some anti-border control activists portray immigration as being like the tides and thus immune to human interventions, the past few years have demonstrated how much policymakers’ choices can influence immigration rates. This is especially the case with the executive branch, charged with enforcing and administering immigration law.

What is Zelensky’s ‘victory plan’?

President Zelensky is in the United States for his latest, possibly last, throw of the dice before the American election, in his attempt to prove that victory can be achieved against Ukraine’s Russian invaders.

The redoubtable leader of Ukraine has brought what he calls his ‘victory plan’, which embraces every facet of his nation’s future. It includes his strategy for forcing President Putin to end the war and for the West to guarantee his beleaguered country’s long-term security and economic prosperity.

News Flash for DC: Diplomacy Gets You Slaughtered

On ABC’s Sunday program, “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby acknowledged sheepishly that Hamas is holding up a deal with Israel that would see the end of the war in Gaza and the release of at least some of the hostages.

The fact that something so obvious requires repeating is beyond outrageous. Nevertheless, it’s made necessary by the choir of voices blaming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu for the absence of an arrangement with Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and his army of mass murderers.

Caroline Ellison Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison also ordered to forfeit $11 billion in FTX Case

Caroline Ellison was sentenced to 24 months in prison by a federal judge for her role in the FTX collapse, despite helping prosecutors in the conviction of Sam Bankman-Fried, her former boss and boyfriend.

US District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Tuesday imposed the two-year sentence on the 29-year-old, calling Ellison’s cooperation “remarkable” and praising her testimony during the fraud trial. But Kaplan noted that the case was one of the “most serious” financial frauds ever committed and that her cooperation can’t be a “get out of jail free card.”

The 11 Billion is just for show.

‘It raises an eyebrow’: Embattled federal human rights pick lists job he never did on resume

Birju Dattani – Hateful Muslim

OTTAWA — The federal government’s former pick for head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission who resigned before actually starting the job is now listing the title on his resume.

Birju Dattani was appointed as chief commissioner back in June, but resigned before starting the job in August after an investigation determined he did not “directly disclose” the anti-Israel nature of his work as a graduate student nearly a decade ago.

NPR Reporter David Folkenflik Connects Trump Laments to Historic ‘Pogroms’ Against Jews

NPR media reporter David Folkenflik appeared on their “news” show Weekend Edition Saturday to discuss Team Trump-Vance and the eating-pets thing from Springfield, Ohio. Host Scott Simon marveled at how “even after being debunked, fringe ideas and lies can still become major campaign themes.”

“Fringe ideas and lies” are only Republican campaign themes. They are never Democrat campaign themes. This is your tax dollars at work in the last weeks of a campaign.

Brampton residents rallied on Sunday in front of city hall, calling for additional help from the federal and provincial government to combat exploitative landlords in the city.

Locals say illegal rooming houses are putting renters at risk and making neighbourhoods unsafe.

António Guterres at UNGA: ‘World cannot let Lebanon become another Gaza’

The United Nations General Assembly broke into applause on Tuesday morning during Secretary-General António Guterres’ opening address when he said the world could not afford Lebanon to become another Gaza.

“Let’s be clear, nothing can justify the abhorrent acts of terror committed by Hamas on October 7 or the taking of hostages, both of which I have repeatedly condemned, and nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people,” he said.

What if Harris wins the U.S. election and Poilievre wins in Canada? How the ensuing tension could hurt Canada’s economy

As U.S. election day approaches in just seven weeks, it’s looking like the Canadian economy might be caught between a rock and a hard place — regardless of the outcome.

Experts say a Donald Trump presidency and his proposed 10 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports would hurt Canada’s economy, but Kamala Harris could also be problematic — especially if
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre becomes Prime Minister.

Shortly after the U.S. election, talks around the Canada-United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement, referred to as CUSMA, will ramp up as it is set for review on July 1, 2026.

Kamala is a genuine worry given she is a fool and a Deep State puppet.

Poilievre makes case for taking down the government to restore ‘promise of Canada’

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre urged MPs to defeat the Liberal government Tuesday — but opposition parties are turning the debate over his non-confidence motion into a debate about the Conservative Party’s policies instead.

Poilievre introduced his promised non-confidence motion in the opening minutes of the House of Commons sitting Tuesday, delivering a campaign-style speech laying out his vision for Canada under a Conservative government.

Who approved indicting Diddy?

… My question is not about his guilt or innocence. The U.S. attorney will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt his charges to a jury in New York. That the case will before a federal judge and not some NYC hack whose daughter collects his bribes gives me hope that Diddy will receive a fair trial.

My question is who approved prosecuting Diddy? Selective prosecution may as well be DOJ’s motto.
