Send them back … TDS Afflicted Drama Queens Flee Trump For Canada

Moving to Canada no easy road for these people fleeing Trump’s America for political reasons

Robert Apgar-Taylor vividly remembers the day he and his husband, Robert Taylor, crossed the border into Canada, fleeing the changing political climate in their native United States in hopes of a safer life in Canada.

“We took a picture at the border. It was winter,” said Apgar-Taylor. “We wore our plaid shirts and hats, and showed our immigration papers with the moving truck behind us. We were so excited.”

To avoid confusion, this story refers to Apbar-Taylor’s husband as Rob.


We’re not exactly getting America’s best and brightest.

Shocking footage shows illegal-migrant driver make outrageous rogue U-turn, killing 3

Terrifying video shows the moment a minivan ploughed into a tractor-trailer making an outrageous rogue U-turn on a Florida highway last week — with all three people in the van killed and the truck’s illegal-migrant driver charged with homicide.

The roadway horror happened around 3 p.m. Tuesday on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce when the tractor-trailer driven by suspect Harjinder Singh made a hard left turn across the highway and attempted to cross the median through an “Official Use Only” pass, authorities said.

Family paid smugglers to reunite after separation by CBSA at Quebec border

A Haitian family was separated at the Quebec-U.S. border this spring due to what an immigration lawyer calls a “legal glitch” some fear could become a wider problem as more migrants flee the United States into Canada.

The family attempted to enter Canada at the official land crossing in Lacolle, Que., in March, according to immigration documents.

They are not in danger in the United States, we have no obligation to accept any of them.

‘No going into Nato by Ukraine,’ says Trump as Zelensky prepares for White House talks

Donald Trump has said the Ukrainian president can end Russia’s war “if he wants to”, but there will be “no going into Nato by Ukraine” as part of a peace deal.

Hours before he was due to host Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, Trump also said there would be “no getting back” the Crimean peninsula, which Moscow illegally annexed in 2014, eight years before launching its full-scale invasion.

Trump’s remarks follow his summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska that resulted in the US president dropping a demand for a ceasefire and calling instead for a permanent peace deal.

Waning cross-border travel hurting Canada’s already beleaguered duty-free industry

John Slipp took over his father’s duty-free store in 1994, which had been started more than a decade earlier.

This month, he closed the Woodstock Duty Free Shop Inc. as lower traffic at the U.S.-Canada border dealt the final blow to a business already weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, at 59, Slipp says he will have to find another source of income and is advocating for more government support for stores like his.

There Goes The West

President Donald Trump has told Canada that if it recognizes Palestine as a state, it’s jeopardizing a trade pact with the U.S. The threat is more than leverage for talks. It’s a reminder that the West is giving up on civilization and needs to be rousted from its slumber.

“Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. “That will make it very hard for us to make a trade deal with them.”

Trump administration weighing refugee cap of 40,000 with focus on white South Africans

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is discussing a refugee admissions cap of around 40,000 for the coming year with a majority allocated to white South Africans, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the matter and an internal refugee program email, reflecting a major shift in the U.S. approach to refugees.

We need a Trump. Why can’t Canada stop being run by Marxist crooks and lunatics?

$50,000 Signing Bonus, No Age Caps: The Blitz to Hire ICE Officers

Uncle Sam. Miami Vice. When it comes to recruiting new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the Trump administration is getting creative.

A social-media campaign launched late last month touted immigration enforcement as an opportunity for father-son bonding and to “deport illegals with your absolute boys,” a slang term for close friends. The Department of Homeland Security has invoked world-war-era imagery and touted 1990s Superman actor Dean Cain in an all-out blitz to persuade Americans they should join ICE’s ranks.

European leaders to join Ukraine’s Zelenskyy for White House meeting with Trump

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — European and NATO leaders announced Sunday they will join President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington for talks with President Donald Trump about ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. They are rallying around the Ukrainian leader after his exclusion from Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The remarkable show of solidarity — with leaders from France, Britain and Germany saying they would be at Zelenskyy’s side at the White House on Monday — was an apparent effort to ensure the meeting goes better than the last one in February, when Trump berated Zelenskyy in a heated Oval Office encounter.

“The Europeans are very afraid of the Oval Office scene being repeated and so they want to support Mr. Zelenskyy to the hilt,” said retired French Gen. Dominique Trinquand, a former head of France’s military mission at the United Nations.


This should be fun.

My guess is Trump will reveal the deal he and Putin worked out and this meeting may just be a courtesy to inform Zelensky and Europe of those terms.

Their acceptance will dictate the depth of continued US participation.

Suspects in Texas ICE shooting tied to trans, anti-fascist activism

DALLAS — Just after dusk on July 5, the crash of wood and metal suddenly reverberated through a predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood here known as The Bottoms. Neighbors peered out to see a small army of men in desert camouflage and tactical vests crouched behind a black armored vehicle, shouting commands toward a brick house.

A SWAT team had smashed through the front door of the residence, which neighbors say was occupied by several transgender women, part of a group of activists who initially united around trans and queer identity issues. Now, the women, dressed in bathrobes and pajamas, were being detained at gunpoint, neighbors said.

“It was weird enough that six or seven White, trans people moved into the neighborhood,” said a neighbor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of privacy concerns. He rolled a joint and gazed at the plywood-covered front window: “And now the FBI is raiding their house.”

Carney praises Trump as ministers jet to Sweden to talk defence deals

Prime Minister Mark Carney issued an unusual statement Saturday to praise U.S. President Donald Trump for trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

Carney’s public endorsement of Trump’s leadership on the world stage came as the president and his Alaskan summit were widely derided by foreign policy and security experts. The get-together was of little value and gave Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former intelligence officer, an image boost, they said.

White House applauds clearing of ‘silent protest’ anti-abortion campaigner

The Trump administration has applauded Scottish prosecutors’ “sensible decision” to clear an anti-abortion campaigner over her silent protest.

Rose Docherty, 75, was arrested in February after police were called to reports of an anti-abortion protest near the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH), in Glasgow. She had been holding a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.”

‘I thought it was a joke’: Canadian politicians reject state senator’s invitation to be ‘adopted’ by US

Politicians past and present from across Canada have responded to an invitation to be “adopted” by the United States with a resounding “no.”

Maine State Senator Joseph Martin suggested that British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba should become “full American states,” arguing that those who truly want “freedom” must look south of the 49th.
