Minnesota Fraud Mastermind Gets Over 40 Year Jail Sentence

We the People are seeing our first serious strike for justice in the massive Minnesota fraud network, with the “Feeding Our Future” fraudster mastermind receiving a sentence of more than four decades in jail.

FBI Director Kash Patel celebrated Aimee Bock’s May 21 sentence of almost 42 years in prison, as Bock was at the center of a fraud case that represented $250 million of taxpayer money lost. Bock ran “Feeding Our Future,” which received lavish amounts of taxpayer money under the claim it was providing millions of meals to needy children during the COVID-19 pandemic, though the whole operation turned out to be a fraud scheme.

WARMINGTON: Myron Demkiw says he wants ‘corrupt’ Toronto cops to quit on their own

While he hasn’t fired them himself, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said he wants “corrupt” cops to self-identity and resign on their own.

“Let’s be clear: There is zero tolerance for corruption in the Toronto Police Service,” Demkiw told John Moore of Newstalk 1010 on Wednesday morning. “We have stood up our police anti-corruption unit, we are expanding our abilities at professional standards, our members wear this uniform with honour and distinction and it’s a privilege to wear this uniform.”

Letting Muslims run rampant for literally years may have been smart policing in Demkiw’s books but that and all the other two tiered diversity nonsense has cost the TPS its social capital.

Going forward you don’t have to worry about limiting your contact, they won’t show up for any crime incident anyway.

Ken Martin releases DNC’s 2024 autopsy after pressure from within

Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin agreed to release the group’s 2024 campaign autopsy after a concerted pressure campaign from members of the party.

Martin previously decided against releasing the results of the report, which sought to identify why the Democratic Party suffered such blistering losses in the 2024 elections. After heavy backlash, he announced Thursday that he was reversing course.

Canadians want defence dollars spent on Canadian-owned firms, not U.S. companies or their subsidiaries

Canadians strongly support investing in domestically owned defence companies and oppose relying on American companies to build equipment for the Canadian military, according to a new public opinion poll released May 21.

The research was done for the Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies (ACDC), an industry-led trade association and lobbying group representing wholly Canadian-owned defence builders and suppliers. The alliance represents more than 200 Canadian-owned and Canadian-controlled defence companies across aerospace, maritime, land, cyber and other defence sectors.

In the Tim’s versus Dunkin’ coffee wars, will Canadians keep their elbows up?

Tim Hortons coffee holds a strange place in the Canadian imagination. Since 1964, their jet-fuel-strong coffee and various sticky-sweet baked goods have powered the nation. It’s the steaming brown cup of rise-and-shine for parents getting up at the crack of dawn to shuttle their kids to hockey practice. It’s the pick-me-up for motorists trundling along long, dull stretches of Highway 401. It’s an integral part of Canadians’ daily routine. Does anyone actually like the coffee? Or the food? Such questions seem immaterial. Good, bad, whatever it is … it’s ours.

Vaguely “Ours”

I hope Dunkin will learn from Tim’s that turning its stores into 3rd World Cheap Labour Dumpsters is not a good look.

The deadly plane attack at the centre of Castro’s indictment

The fatal crash of two planes off the coast of Florida more than 30 years ago is at the heart of the criminal charges against Cuba’s former leader Raúl Castro the US revealed on Wednesday.

The attack by the Cuban military on a civilian plane sparked one of the biggest crises between Cuba and the US, with effects lasting to this day.

Cuban fighter jets shot down the two small planes – which belonged to a group of Cuban exiles in Miami – in the waterway between the Caribbean island nation and the US state of Florida, with all four on board killed instantly.

Dr. Strangelove diplomacy: How the Pentagon’s symbolic defence board freeze with Canada could backfire

Although greeted with a mixture of angst, anger and genuine confusion in this country, it is undeniable that the Pentagon’s move this week to freeze one of the oldest pillars of continental defence co-operation — ostensibly to punish Canada — carried with it notes of dark comedy.

Following Elbridge Colby’s social media edict pausing the U.S.–Canada Permanent Joint Board on Defence (PJBD), one was hoping to see among the replies: “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!”

There is still time.

Trump to blame for Ebola outbreak say top experts

US is ‘simply choosing not to stop’ Ebola outbreak after massive public health cuts, experts say

A previously undetected outbreak of Ebola is coursing through parts of central Africa, and the US appears to be doing little to help stop it, after massive cuts to global and domestic public health efforts.

There is no cure and no vaccine for the rare Bundibugyo variant of Ebola, which has caused two outbreaks in recent decades. Health leaders and scientists are now racing to understand where the virus is spreading and attempting to stop it – but the US is notably absent in these efforts.

In the past year, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has been dismantled, thousands of staff at US health agencies were laid off, communications stalled and key scientific research canceled.

The rest of the world is broke?

Festung Ottawa: Military asks personnel in capital region to return field gear, citing ‘critical equipment shortages’

The Canadian Armed Forces are asking military personnel in the National Capital Region to return some field gear, including vests to hold body armour, to address what the Forces describe as “critical equipment shortages” for deployed operations.

A May 13 e-mail from National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa, obtained by The Globe and Mail, cites this inventory shortfall.

What timing! Tweet translation – Translated from Latvian

Thank you, Canada🇨🇦🤝🇱🇻!
Foreign Minister @AnandAnandMP announced that Canada will invest 64 million euros in the development of military infrastructure in Latvia.

US and Israel ‘wanted ex-president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to run Iran’

After killing Iran’s supreme leader in the opening salvo of the war, the US and Israel sought to fill the power vacuum with an unlikely candidate, according to a report.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s hardline anti-Israel and anti-American former president, was the surprising choice to take power in Tehran, anonymous US officials told The New York Times.

President Trump stated publicly at the time that it would be best if “someone from within” the country were to take over.

High-wage workers could get boost in overhaul of express entry system

OTTAWA — Ottawa is looking at overhauling the express entry system to make it easier for people with high-paying job offers to apply for permanent residency.

A public consultation survey and discussion paper outline the proposed changes to the express entry system.

This is meant to complement the International Talent Attraction Strategy first announced in the November budget, the discussion paper says. The government is focusing on bringing in doctors, researchers, senior managers, transportation professionals and skilled military recruits through this strategy.

Ukrainians saw Britain as our greatest ally. Now Starmer rewards Putin’s crimes

The decision to ease sanctions on Russian oil is a disappointing and deeply concerning step by the United Kingdom. For all these years of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine has looked to Britain as one of its strongest and most principled allies.

It was among the first countries to provide military assistance, political support and tough sanctions against Russia. That support was both practical and symbolic. It showed Ukrainians that democratic countries were ready to stand firmly against aggression and defend international law. That is why Sir Keir Starmer’s move sends a very dangerous message.

CSIS says transnational investigations are being hindered by Canada’s lack of lawful access powers

Canada’s spy agency says the lack of a “lawful access” regime that would give it easier access to Canadians’ digital data has frustrated its ability to help foreign intelligence partners combat transnational threats, including those moving into Canada.

In a rare on-the-record briefing, Nicole Giles, deputy director of policy and strategic partnerships at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, said that, in one instance, the agency was unable to respond to a request from a “like-minded” foreign intelligence partner to identify suspects found to have Canadian phone numbers.

Europe Admits It Still Can’t Defend Itself Alone

European leaders are attempting to downplay concerns after the United States announced plans to reduce its military presence on the continent, amid growing questions about Europe’s ability to defend itself without American support.

The Pentagon announced late on Tuesday that it was pausing the deployment of any additional troops to Poland. Vice President JD Vance described this as part of America’s demand for “more of Europe standing on its own two feet.”
