What is perhaps most astonishing about Saturday’s attempted assassination of former U.S. president Donald Trump is just how close Trump came to death. It was a matter of centimetres. A bullet from an AR-15 rifle, fired from a distance of 150 metres, nicked Trump’s ear.
It’s almost as amazing that it’s taken this long for somebody to make a serious attempt on Trump’s life.
Canada has done a detailed mapping of what it says are covert Chinese police operations within its borders and wants to explore a response with Group of Seven allies to a challenge faced by several nations.
The issue of Beijing allegedly setting up unofficial “police stations” in Western democracies — to monitor and intimidate members of the Chinese diaspora — has become a growing concern. Canada, the US, Italy, Germany and the UK have all grappled with the problem.

The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.
Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh.
Sources said Crooks was planted on the roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.

Secret Service Under Scrutiny After Trump Assassination Attempt
Trump just proved that he’s a pure warrior after his heinous assassination attempt
They called him an illegitimate president.
They said he was a threat to democracy and had to be stopped.
They unleashed a legion of agents to investigate him, searched his home and broke historic barriers by indicting him.
Then they rigged a trial in a bid to put him in prison.

The attempted assassination of President Trump is killing the left and especially the deep state lackey’s in the media.
Trump’s behavior was simply magnificent, the stuff of true grit and has I believe won him election over Face Down in the Tapioca Joe.
The fist pump photo is a stick in the eye to his detractors.
The media was every bit as awful as you imagined them to be none worse than the Washington Post who chose yesterday to run this hate screed against Trump supporters with the sidebar Trump rushed off stage after loud noises at rally. Trump supporters are always Hitler but somehow the brownshirts are always leftists.
Fun – MAGA Memesters Immortalize Donald Trump Surviving Assassination Attempt
Twitchy has some laughs.
I’m used to seeing my friends pack up bags and move to the United States. Most of my graduating class of software engineering at the University of Waterloo decamped for the U.S. right after graduating in 2019. The few who stayed back, have strongly considered moving or have gradually made the jump since.
Recent data shows that this trend is accelerating and is no longer isolated to tech. According to data from the U.S. census, more than 126,000 people from Canada moved to the United States in 2022, a 70 per cent increase from 2021 and one of the highest numbers seen yet.

As Tony Blair put it, “what do you leave behind?”. Demographics, stupid.
Everyone knows this, but the fool who only wants to see his own finger believes he is entitled to dispute what is obvious and to accuse the wise man who points to the moon of “racism”.
Before the 2022 Champions League final at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, football champion Thierry Henry (father of Guadeloupe, mother of Martinique, not a white supremacist) shocked public opinion by saying that “Be careful, the stadium is in Saint-Denis, not in Paris,” only to add: ““It’s near Paris but trust me you don’t want to be in Saint-Denis. It’s not the same as Paris, trust me.”
“Ukraine will stop Putin” declared America’s failing president whose uncertain political fate and cognitive issues loomed over NATO’s 75th annual conference hosted last week in Washington, where many participants took time on the side to meet with some of Donald Trump’s top advisors such as former ambassador to Germany, Rick Grennel, and ex-NSC chief of staff, general Keith Kellogg. The Europeans are now “paying” more for NATO as 23 members cross the 2 percent of GDP for defense threshold this year, long insisted by Trump , so they may be looking to get their money’s worth in advice.
In an interview with Bloomberg News in which Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland denied reports of a rift with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, amid speculation he wants to replace her with Mark Carney, she also indicated the Liberals’ strategy for winning next year’s election.
Before the Biden administration gets too carried away celebrating the election of Iran’s so-called moderate president, it should understand that Masoud Pezeshkian’s victory is nothing more than a ploy to distract world attention away from Iran’s nuclear weapons programme.
While Iranian voters have understandably been focused on electing a new president to replace hardliner Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed in a mysterious helicopter crash in May, the regime has been intensifying its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.
A man, who walked into a North York office building and killed two people before turning the weapon on himself.
A woman, found dead outside her Sault Ste. Marie home, fatally strangled by her husband.
Giving credit where credit is due, NBC (and simulcast on MSNBC) wasn’t anywhere near the dumpster fire on Saturday night that CBS was in covering the assassination attempt against former President Trump that left at least one Trump rally attendee dead and others injured. That said, there were still a few humdingers, such as pathetic use of the GOP drinking game/bingo word “seizing” and more perverted speculation.
Canada is a sovereign nation.
Yet we are a sovereign nation that lacks the military capacity to be of much help to its allies, much less defend its home soil against a foreign attack.
We have among the best soldiers, sailors and aircrews in the world. The problem is weak political leadership.
CAF culture is now more RuPaul than “Ready Aye Ready” it will take years to remove the rot Trudeau has infested the services with.

MOSCOW, July 14 (Reuters) – The Kremlin on Sunday said it did not believe the current U.S. administration was responsible for Saturday’s assassination attempt on U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, but that it had created an atmosphere that provoked the attack.
