The Unravelling Accelerates

Minutes before we went on air, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was shot on stage in Utah. A quarter-hour after the show ended, President Trump announced on Truth Social that Charlie was dead. As I write, the assassin has just been taken into custody.

Notwithstanding his meteoric rise, Charlie Kirk was still at the dawn of his brilliant career. As I said right at the end of the show, he was only seven at the time of 9/11. That was a rough guess on my part, but proved to be accurate: he died a month shy of his thirty-second birthday, leaving a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son who will grow up with no memories of their fearless father.

Could Canadian LNG ambitions put Washington on edge?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Canadian and American leaders have long touted the idea of North American energy dominance, building one of the world’s most deeply integrated energy markets, complete with cross-border pipelines and power grids.

In recent years, however, left-leaning politicians on both sides have worked to reduce fossil fuel dependence and accelerate the transition to clean energy.

Rightwing influencer accompanied Ice agents during raids in Chicago

A rightwing influencer accompanied officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Chicago on Sunday as the agency ramps up arrests in the city. Ice agents arrested four people on the city’s south-west side.

Ben Bergquam, the rightwing internet personality, was with agents, filming and making content as well as getting into altercations with local residents along the way, according to a video the Guardian viewed on X. In the video, he appears to be in the car with Ice agents and nearby as they arrest people; later on he yells at a group of Chicagoans who are gathered to prevent Ice operations that they are “the enemy within”.

Because they are the enemy within.

Anti-Islamic US biker gang members run security at deadly Gaza aid sites

The firm guarding sites where aid is distributed in Gaza has been using members of a US biker gang with a history of hostility to Islam to run its armed security, a BBC investigation has found.

BBC News has confirmed the identities of 10 members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club working in Gaza for UG Solutions – a private contractor providing security at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, where hundreds of civilians seeking food have been killed in scenes of chaos and gunfire.

We can reveal that seven members of the gang are in senior positions overseeing sites at the controversial aid operation backed by Israel and US President Donald Trump.

Awesome!

Don’t UK the USA

Woe to the British, particularly the British who are actually British and are today being forced by their ruling class to be unwilling cattle subject to the unrestrained exploitation, looting, and raping of the Third World barbarians their betters imported. There’s a lot of raping going on, and the real problem seems to be that normal British people don’t want their daughters raped. But their rulers do; it’s reasonable to assume that you want the foreseeable consequences of your actions. Recently, when one girl pulled a knife on some scumbag who was trying to molest her, someone got arrested. You’re not going to be surprised to find that it was the girl who was defending herself and her sister. Britain is now a classic anarchy-tyranny, where the catspaws of the ruling class are free to pillage and abuse while the full weight of the once legitimate government comes down on those who would protest or resist. Raise the flag of your own country? That’s a hate crime but fly high the pride and Palestinian banners.

Importing the Rot: How the U-Visa Became a Fraud Bazaar

Created to protect the vulnerable, the U-visa has transmogrified into a market where citizenship can be gamed and traded.

America’s immigration system was designed to embody the American social contract — a compact between the individual and the state, in which the government is impartial and bound by law. But when newcomers arrive from societies where government is degraded into barter, bribery, and patronage, they import with them a radically different conception of what citizenship and authority mean. That is the real danger revealed in Louisiana, where Chandrakant “Lala” Patel, an Indian-origin businessman, now faces a 62-count federal indictment for orchestrating a sweeping U-visa fraud.

Canada and America can’t break up – but we do need a trial separation

For as long as Canada and the United States have been neighbours, some people have advocated for a more open border – for fewer restrictions on the flow of goods, services and people between the two countries. I have long been one of those advocates.

No more. For the sake of our country’s survival, Canada must distance itself as much as possible from the United States: economically, culturally, militarily.

Though it breaks my heart to say it, the Canada-U.S. relationship, at least for now, must enter a period of separation.

A Member of Congress Applauds Terror Sympathizers

At the People’s Conference for Palestine, Michigan representative Rashida Tlaib appeared alongside convicted killers and speakers who glorified Hamas.

A strain of thought has gained popularity in progressive circles that’s fairly summarized by this post on X: “If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.” The principle is that some views are so abhorrent that failing to challenge them on any given occasion is tantamount to accepting them.

This line of thinking should raise an uncomfortable question for Israel bashers. What does it mean when a sitting member of Congress speaks at a conference attended by hundreds of terrorism sympathizers?

Kevin O’Leary’s Continentalist Proposal Deserves Further Consideration

Late last December, Canadian businessman Kevin O’Leary, affectionately known as Mr. Wonderful, re-opened a longstanding public debate over the idea of “continentalism” in North America.

Within weeks after the re-election of President Donald Trump, O’Leary pitched the merits of an EU-style economic union between Canada and USA.

“I like this idea and at least half of Canadians are interested” he said.

I don’t like anything that is said to be reminiscent of the EU and besides won’t this offend the Elbow People?

Revealed after 24 years, how UK was forced to free 9/11 ‘plotter’

Omar al-Bayoumi was arrested in Birmingham days after the atrocity. But police were never given crucial evidence by the FBI

Scotland Yard was forced to release an alleged Saudi intelligence officer who provided financial backing and support to the 9/11 hijackers after the FBI failed to share crucial evidence.

The Sunday Times can today reveal that counterterrorism officers who interviewed Omar al-Bayoumi after he was arrested in Birmingham — ten days after two aircraft crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York — were never given a potentially damning document and video linking him to the attacks.

Very strange revelation. Someone wanted this hidden.

Without a deal with Trump, Carney rolls out responses for an economic rupture

When Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a package of industrial supports, retooling for industries hit by tariffs and employment insurance expansions on Friday, there was a subtext: Don’t count on relief from U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war any time soon.

Mr. Carney had declared in March that the old relationship with the United States is over. On Friday, he was telling Canadians it’s time to get ready for disruption.

“What’s going on is not a transition, it’s a rupture, and its effect will be profound,” the Prime Minister said in a speech at an aircraft plant in Mississauga, Ont.

I believe Carney wanted the rupture all along.

Drama Queens: LGBTQ+ Americans consider move to Canada to escape Trump: ‘I’m afraid of living here’

Mark Carney and his side piece. His “legal” wife should be worried.

The number of LGBTQ+ Americans inquiring about moving to Canada has soared since Donald Trump’s re-election, campaigners have said, as people across the US wrestle with the fallout of rising anti-gay rhetoric, anti-trans executive orders, and the more than 600 bills targeting LGBTQ+ rights.

“So much is happening in the US right now and a lot of it is terrifying,” said Latoya Nugent of Rainbow Railroad, a North American charity that helps LGBTQI+ individuals escape violence and persecution in their home countries.

In the first eight months of this year, the organisation has received 4,197 calls from people living in the US – a surge of 760% compared with the same period last year. “The overwhelming majority of individuals who are reaching out want support with international relocation, which translates to ‘I want to get out of the US because I’m afraid of living here,’” said Nugent.

The only people putting anyone’s life in danger are Mass Shooter Trannies.

Donald Trump no longer top of mind for many Canadians as worries shift to economy, cost of living, poll finds

Canadians are more worried about the high cost of living and the economy than they are about Donald Trump and his administration, according to the latest Abacus survey, reversing a past trend where the U.S. president was the top concern.

The shift signals a change from the federal election in April when Canadians were more worried about a trade war with the U.S., a factor that helped Prime Minister Mark Carney get elected, explained Abacus chair and CEO David Coletto, because voters believed Carney was better equipped to deal with the American leader.

Canadians might be surprised at just how low U.S. tariffs on Canada’s exports really are

Economists estimate over 90% of Canadian goods are entering the U.S. tariff free, pushing down the overall rate

The average effective tariff that was being charged on Canadian goods going to the United States was possibly as low as 2.4 per cent to 2.5 per cent, two economic houses suggest.

New reports by Oxford Economics Ltd. and Capital Economics Ltd. suggest the average tariffs being charged on Canadian exports to the U.S. in June were as low as 2.4 per cent and 2.5 per cent, well off a previously forecasted rate from Capital of nine per cent for the month.

This can’t sit well with the Elbow People.
