Multimillion dollar fund manager ditches Tyson Foods, saying meat giant sacking US workers to hire 42,000 asylum seekers is the ‘woke liberal takeover of America’

A conservative fund manager has pulled investments from Tyson Foods, saying the meat and poultry giant has alienated its consumers by laying off Americans workers and hiring 42,000 asylum seekers.

Bill Flaig, CEO and co-founder of the $79 million American Conservative Values Fund (ACVF), told DailyMail.com that he has divested from Tyson and won’t buy any more stock in the company.

Angry consumers are boycotting Tyson over revelations that the company is shuttering plants and laying off workers while hiring tens of thousands of asylum seekers — and even hiring lawyers for its new recruits.

That is pure greed.

MP Anthony Housefather ‘reflecting’ on future with the Liberals after Middle East motion vote

Quebec Liberal MP Anthony Housefather says he is “reflecting” on his future in the Liberal party after a heavily amended NDP motion on Palestinian statehood passed in the House of Commons on Monday.

Housefather was among three Liberals who voted against the final motion, which called only for progress towards a two-state solution instead of the recognition of a Palestinian state.

The other two, former public-safety minister Marco Mendicino and Manitoba MP Ben Carr, both say they are disappointed in how the 11th-hour amendment process went.

Don Lemon wanted free ride aboard Elon Musk’s rocket to host ‘first podcast in space’: sources

Don Lemon — who submitted a wish list that included demands for a free Cybertruck in contract talks with X before he was unceremoniously dumped last week — also wanted SpaceX boss Elon Musk to launch him into orbit for the first-ever extraterrestrial podcast, The Post has learned.

“First podcast in space to be hosted by Don (via SpaceX),” the bulleted line item reads.

The literally out-of-this-world ask was on a document Lemon’s agents at United Talent Agency sent to Musk’s social media site that also included demands for a $5 million advance on top of an $8 million base salary, equity in the company, and veto power over the site’s news content policies and its roster of creators, as The Post reported exclusively last week.

As Europe bans puberty blockers, Canada doubles down on transgender treatments for kids

Doctors’ groups across Canada are urging the provinces not to interfere with “evidence-based” medical treatment of children with gender dysphoria.

But others say what little evidence exists points to using caution and restricting treatments for minors, and that Canada’s medical leaders are ignoring shifting trends in gender-affirming care.

For many in B.C. finding a rental has become a full-time job, competition is fierce

In 2018, teen brothers Hudson and Jackson Forsyth-Beck started growing veggies in the front yard of their rental home in Squamish, B.C., selling pickles.

That turned into a busy farm stand over the years.

But now, their family is facing eviction. Their father Robert Forsyth posted a video in a Facebook group appealing for help to find a home — and freezer space — to save about 10,000 pounds of produce, pies and preserves.

Supreme Court Allows Texas to Enforce Law Authorizing Local, State Police to Arrest Illegal Immigrants

The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted its freeze of a Texas immigration law which allows state and local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants and empowers state judges to deport them.

The Court’s six conservative justices dismissed the Biden administration’s emergency appeal, allowing the law to remain in effect while the issue is adjudicated by lower courts. The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical, but Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, issued a concurring opinion explaining that Texas should be allowed to enforce its law until a lower court definitively strikes it down.

We Are Closer Than You Think to Civilizational Suicide: Lessons From Burnham

“Liberalism,” he wrote, “permits Western civilization to be reconciled to dissolution.”

Sixty years ago, James Burnham’s book Suicide of the West was published to much acclaim from conservatives and much criticism by liberals. It was Burnham’s last book (other than a collection of his National Review columns titled The War We Are In) and, perhaps, his most pessimistic and prophetic work. Western civilization led by the United States, he wrote, was dying, not because of external challenges but, rather, because of internal decay. The West, in other words, was in the process of committing civilizational suicide. And what caused liberals to ridicule and deride the book was Burnham’s conclusion that liberalism was the “ideology of Western suicide.”

Trump, Accusing Jack Smith of ‘Blackmail and Extortion,’ Makes His Immunity Case to the Supreme Court

President Trump’s brief to the Supreme Court, arguing that the president “cannot function, and the Presidency itself cannot retain its vital independence, if the President faces criminal prosecution for official acts once he leaves office,” is his most fulsome statement yet on the powers of the office he once held.

The 67-page filing lays out the 45th president’s position on immunity in advance of oral arguments at the high court. It declares that a “denial of criminal immunity would incapacitate every future President with de facto blackmail and extortion while in office, and condemn him to years of post-office trauma at the hands of political opponents.”

When Culture War Affects Real War

It was a small thing, really, but one of those small things that feels like a sign of something much bigger.

This week, the military junta that rules the African country of Niger announced the revocation of its military agreement with the United States, and the coming expulsion of U.S. troops based in the country. The country’s leadership also announced its turn to Russia. The move followed a disastrous visit by American officials, who arrived to lecture the hard men who led last summer’s coup about the need to restore democracy, and to stop talking to Iran about providing it uranium.

This story will make Justin cry.

Gaza War: Only the Harbinger of a Bigger War to Come

Hezbollah, the terror group made up of Lebanese Shi’a, is a far more formidable fighting force than is Hamas. It has a vast armory of 160,000 rockets and missiles, many of them precision-guided, supplied by Iran, as compared to fewer than 10,000 much cruder rockets now possessed by Hamas after five months of war. Hamas had 30,000 troops on October 6, before the Gaza war began, and now has about 15,000 fighters still alive, with many of them having been wounded. Hezbollah, on the other hand, has at least 100,000 well-trained and well-armed troops, thanks to the backing, in weapons and money, that it receives from its indispensable ally, Iran. And it is Hezbollah’s constant bombing of the Galilee in northern Israel that has forced more than 96,000 Israelis in the north to be displaced, having had to move out of their homes near the northern border with Lebanon for their own safety, in light of constant Hezbollah bombardments. Most generals in the IDF, and the Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, believe that war with Hezbollah is inevitable; the only question is whether it will start while the Gaza War is still on or will Israel, when that war with Hezbollah comes, be able to concentrate all its efforts on its enemy to the north. Even now, Israelis worried about Hezbollah damaging Israel’s electricity grid have been buying generators in anticipation of what will come.

Veteran paratrooper reveals British special forces recovered a downed ‘non-human’ craft in northern England in late 1980s

British special forces recovered a downed ‘non-human’ craft in northern England in the late 1980s, a former UK paratrooper and military intelligence officer claims.

Franc Milburn, a veteran of the British Army’s elite Parachute Regiment, tells DailyMail.com he has spoken with a member of the MI6-run unit that conducted the alleged operation.

Milburn said he also spoke to UK Royal Air Force crew who chased and fired on a pair of ‘disc-shaped’ UFOs that traveled at hypersonic speeds outstripping their fighter jets.

The West is still swallowing Hamas’s propaganda

Anyone watching the media coverage of the war in Gaza could be forgiven for thinking that civilians, and only civilians, are being killed. Israel is usually portrayed as a military Goliath, ruthlessly crushing the defenceless Gazans. It often appears as if Israel is indiscriminately carpet-bombing civilians, while deliberately targeting aid convoys, hospitals and schools. Meanwhile, Hamas and its terrorists are conspicuous by their absence in the images and discussions of Palestinian casualties.

Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre reveal their hidden hopes in tributes to Brian Mulroney

Tributes to fallen comrades tend to bring out the best in politicians — and provide one of the increasingly rare times it isn’t awful to watch the proceedings in the House of Commons. This week’s speeches to the legacy of former prime minister Brian Mulroney provided a shining example.

But it wasn’t a total pause in the tumultuous politics of our time. When Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre and other leaders stood up to speak in Parliament in Mulroney’s honour on Monday, they also opened up a window into their own political souls at this juncture in Canadian politics.

A divide is growing between the Conservatives, Liberals on issue of Israeli and Palestinian rights

Canada’s decades-old bipartisan consensus in support of a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian question is falling apart.

Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government voted Monday night for a heavily diluted version of a non-binding NDP motion that advances supports for Palestinians in the conflict in Gaza.

The amended version arrived at almost literally the last minute, after Parliamentarians had spent the day debating the original and much firmer NDP motion. Clearly, the two parties had been in talks that went down to the wire, before reaching wording both could live with.
