As US Is Being Encircled by Enemies, the US Administration Wants Israel to Surrender to Terrorists

While Russian warships, including a nuclear submarine, this week docked in Cuba, and with China building a major deep-water port in Peru that could serve the Chinese military, the US administration is pressuring only Israel to allow the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas to win the war it launched against Israel on October 7.

When an ally is attacked by terrorists, the fundamental principle of an alliance dictates that the victim must be provided unwavering support to defeat the terrorists and dismantle the terror infrastructure completely, ensuring that the terrorists cannot regroup to launch further attacks.

Maddow and Stelter Concoct Crazy Theories on Trump’s ‘Revenge’

Forever earnest Brian Stelter tweeted out his late-night appearance on CNN with Abby Phillip.

“MSNBC’s Maddow is right to be thinking aloud about the possible repercussions of a second Trump term,” he typed. “Other media types and political veterans are doing the same thing. What might “retribution” look like? What are the pressure points that Trump could target?”

One national political activity is truly non-partisan — the singular lust of governments at all levels to screw Canadians on taxation.

The federal Liberals are raising the capital gains tax. City governments have hit citizens with whopping property tax increases (7.8 per cent in Calgary).

The provincial UCP government promised immediate tax relief in an election campaign, and then wiggled out of it when safely elected, using arguments that are now shown to be bogus.
