Donald Trump’s deportation drive is making a mockery of America’s promise … said no normal person ever

Murdered by Illegal aliens in the USA

U.S. President Donald Trump’s racist, anti-immigrant policies are cruel – though sadly, no longer unusual – for a nation that once welcomed the “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” His administration is making the Emma Lazarus poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty reek with hypocrisy.

Mr. Trump’s zeal for mass deportation has subjected people to callous detention conditions, as U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE)’s dragnet captures thousands who aren’t the criminals he promised to expel. In many cases, they’re also not migrants or asylum seekers – and in some, including the killing by an ICE officer of Renee Nicole Macklin Good in a residential area in Minneapolis, the consequences of these raids have been deadly.

If you are in the country illegally you have committed a crime. Liberal indoctrination blinds its victims making them unable to think things through.

Trump administration suspends $129m in benefit payments to Minnesota

Minnesota leftists protest in favour of immigration fraud and illegal alien crime

The Trump administration announced it is suspending $129m in federal benefit payments to Minnesota amid allegations of widespread fraud in the state.

The secretary of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Brooke Rollins, shared a letter on Friday on social media that was addressed to Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, and the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, notifying them of the administration’s decision and citing investigations into alleged fraud conducted by local non-profits and businesses.

“Despite a staggering, wide-reaching fraud scandal, your administrations refuse to provide basic information or take common sense measures to stop fraud. The Trump administration refuses to allow such fraud to continue,” Rollins wrote.

Bob Weir, Guitarist and Founding Member of the Grateful Dead, Dies at 78

Bob Weir, a guitarist and songwriter who was a founding member of the Grateful Dead, which rose from jug band origins to become the kings of psychedelic rock, selling millions of records and inspiring a small nation of loyal fans, has died. He was 78.

His family announced the death in a statement on Saturday, saying that Mr. Weir had “succumbed to underlying lung issues” after receiving a cancer diagnosis in July. The statement did not say when or where he died.

WAGNER: Canada’s fatal turn — the federal election of 1980

Pierre Trudeau alleged father of Canada’s worst Prime Minister

Canada faced a fork in the road in the 1980 federal election: stick with the centrist Progressive Conservative government of Joe Clark, or turn hard left with the Pierre Trudeau Liberals. Canada — or more accurately, Eastern Canada — chose Trudeau.

The die was cast, and Canada would never be the same. In his final four years in office, Trudeau would fundamentally transform Canada, and not in a good way. It’s like the country fell off a cliff, politically speaking.

‘History will tell’: as US pressure grows, Cuba edges closer to collapse amid mass exodus

Disillusioned with the revolution after 68 years of US sanctions and a shattered economy, one in four Cubans have left in four years. Can the regime, and country, survive the engulfing ‘polycrisis’?

Hatri Echazabal Orta lives in Madrid, Spain. Maykel Fernández is in Charlotte, in the US, while Cristian Cuadra remains in Havana, Cuba – for now. All Cubans, all raised on revolutionary ideals and educated in good state-run schools, they have become disillusioned with the cherished national narrative that Cuba is a country of revolution and resistance. Facing a lack of political openness and poor economic prospects, each of them made the same decision: to leave.

They are not alone. After 68 years of partial sanctions and nearly 64 years of total economic embargo by the US, independent demographic studies suggest that Cuba is going through the world’s fastest population decline and is probably already below 8 million – a 25% drop in just four years, suggesting its population has shrunk by an average of about 820,000 people a year.

There are a number of root causes for this exodus, but most experts agree that the blockade, decades of economic crisis, crumbling public services, political repression and widespread disillusionment with the revolution have merged to become a “polycrisis”.

CHARLEBOIS: The U.S. redesigned its food guide while Canada keeps lecturing

Rather than lecture its citizens about food, the United States redesigned the system around how people actually eat

The “new” Canadian Food Guide was introduced on Jan. 22, 2019 – seven years ago.

At the time, Health Canada committed to revising it within five years. That revision was due in 2024. It never happened. The guide remains frozen in time, untouched by inflation, affordability pressures, or a rapidly evolving food system.

The terrible cost of the Met Police’s diversity drive

In the shadow of recent scandal, the Metropolitan Police’s tougher vetting regime promised a cultural renaissance. Yet the admission yesterday that thousands of recruits slipped through without proper vetting, breeding predators within, reveals a force still haunted by its own institutional rot.

After the conviction of PC Wayne Cousins for the rape and murder of Sarah Everard while a serving officer five years ago, the Casey report into the force described an organisation that was culturally and operationally incapable of stopping very bad people from becoming warranted police officers. Tough new measures were introduced that doubled refusal rates for applicants and nearly 100 officers and staff were dismissed as a result of a re-vetting process.

The U.S. wants Venezuelan oil. Does that undercut Canada’s leverage in trade talks?

Just hours after the United States announced it had attacked oil-rich Venezuela and captured its president Nicolás Maduro, the wife of a top adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Canada on social media.

“The U.S. doesn’t need anything from Canada,” wrote Katie Miller, whose husband Stephen Miller is Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser. “Free trade is over.”

It’s a familiar refrain from those within Trump’s orbit, and from the president himself. But the argument has taken on new meaning now that the United States could have access to Venezuela’s staggeringly large reserves of heavy crude oil — similar to what’s produced in Western Canada.

Meet the Group Behind the Pro-Maduro Protests

The People’s Forum is an “incubator” for leftist radicals—and eerily reminiscent of a cult.

Within hours of Delta Force’s extraction of Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro, far-left activists flooded the streets with premade signs and polished talking points. The protests’ speedy appearance and apparent organization should have been no surprise. For years, groups like The People’s Forum (TPF) have cultivated a cultish following, capable of activating scores of organizations at a moment’s notice—always in service of the interests of America’s adversaries.

Geoff Russ: Carney cozying up to China aligns us with those who would destroy us

Prime Minister Mark Carney is going to China next week to discuss trade with President Xi Jinping, just as American power is moving hard and fast to curtail or eliminate Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere. Canada has nothing to gain from isolating itself from the United States or the West in the short term, just to stick it to Donald Trump.

Portland police chief cries while confirming pair shot by CBP were tied to Tren de Aragua

Portland’s police chief broke down in tears Friday while confirming that two illegal immigrants shot by a federal agent had suspected ties to the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, KGW News reported.

Police Chief Bob Day said the two suspects wounded in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection encounter had a “nexus” to the gang, backing up a Department of Homeland Security statement released earlier in the day.

Riders say the Finch West LRT is ‘horrible’ and a ‘failed start.’ What’s gone wrong — and can it be fixed?

It took six years and $3.5 billion to build the Finch West LRT.

Ilyas Mohamed just wants the bus back.

“It’s horrible,” the 18-year-old York University student said, stepping off a train about to leave the Finch West station to share his thoughts on the new line.

Standing on a quiet platform just past 5 p.m. on a recent workday, Mohamed acknowledged the new line is “beautiful and everything,” but said it simply takes too long to get where he’s going.

Finch is very diverse from Dufferin going west. I wonder how long till these shiny new trains need a makeover.
