Trump’s Mysterious Support of Canada’s Liberals

There is an old adage that in politics as in life timing is everything. That is why pundits often talk about such things as the importance of “momentum” and the necessity of not “peaking too early.” In March 2012 when President Obama was running for his second term he got caught on a hot mic in Seoul, South Korea asking then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to reassure Vladimir Putin, “After my election I have more flexibility.… On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.… This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”

Trump derangement syndrome hijacks an election

Just hours before Canada’s federal election, a man treated a street festival here in Vancouver like it was a bowling lane and his vehicle was the ball. Eleven people have died as a result, with several others injured. But sure, let’s make the federal election all about U.S. President Donald Trump.

Local police quickly ruled out terrorism. How could they possibly know so fast?

Well, because they were apparently like, “Oh, it was just THAT guy.” And not because he hangs out at the doughnut shop with them and shoots the breeze, but because he’s out there doing enough criming that they know his exact brand of crime – and it isn’t terrorism.

Trump, in a new interview, says ‘highly unlikely’ military force needed to make Canada 51st state

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump, in a new interview, was circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution.

He also said he does not think military force will be needed to make Canada the “51st state” and played down the possibility he would look to run for a third term in the White House.

The comments in a wide-ranging, and at moments combative, interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” came as the Republican president’s efforts to quickly enact his agenda face sharper headwinds with Americans just as his second administration crossed the 100-day mark, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Britain is ‘compliant servant of communist China’, says Trump’s tariff chief

Donald Trump’s tariffs tsar has accused Britain of being a “compliant servant of communist China” at risk of having its “blood sucked” dry by Beijing.

Peter Navarro, the president’s economic adviser, said the Government must resist “string-laden gifts” from Beijing and avoid becoming a “dumping ground” for goods that China can no longer sell to the US.

In an intervention set to complicate trade negotiations between Britain and America, he told The Telegraph: “If the Chinese vampire can’t suck the American blood, it’s going to suck the UK blood and the EU blood.”

Sorry, Mark Carney. America doesn’t need your workshy, defenceless country

“America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country”, declared Mark Carney in his victory speech, after Canada’s general election this week delivered his Liberal Party a plurality of seats in parliament. “These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us”, Carney continued, promising that Trump’s oft-repeated plans to absorb Canada as America’s 51st state are “never, ever going to happen”.

Trump’s apparent designs on Canada, which appeared to begin with a social media post calling Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau “governor Trudeau”, weighed heavily on the country’s election. The Conservatives still polled their best results since the 1980s, and Carney will have to lead a minority government, but the spectacle of a foreign leader looming so decisively over the elections of a major democracy is Ruritanian to the point of comedy.

The Left-Wing Judge Who Hid an Armed Venezuelan Gang Member in His Home Shows the Judiciary is Escalating its War With Trump Over Illegal Immigration

The current lawfare campaign waged against the Trump administration’s plans to deport violent criminals here in the US illegally was kicked up a notch last week with the arrest by the FBI of not one but two judges for their support of violent gangbanging illegals.

So far lawfare has consisted of tying up cases in Federal Court with far Left enthusiastic judges passing ‘nationwide injunctions’ on any and all of the Trump administration efforts to deport the illegals. But one has to acknowledge the fact that there are various rogue judges who, with a cry of ‘we’re doing our part’, are deploying their own unique strategies in defying immigration laws.

The Americans Who Left

Some of the United States’ Vietnam War opponents found refuge in Canada. Fifty years after the end of the war, they’re still worried about the future.

The presidential pardon signed by Jimmy Carter in 1977 was a sweeping invitation to thousands of Americans to come home and help heal a nation torn apart by the Vietnam War. Those who had left for Canada to avoid the draft had wanted no part of the conflict, which killed about 60,000 Americans.

Canada had offered a refuge. It did not support the war and was willing to welcome, with few questions asked, those crossing the border.

Many war resisters, or draft dodgers as they were often called by others, were not interested in returning when Mr. Carter made his amnesty offer. Their decisions had come with high costs: ruptured family ties, broken friendships and, often, shame. While some hailed those who went to Canada as principled, others considered them cowardly.

The Future Is Dim for US–Canada Relations

How would the media react if Donald Trump had received a quarter of a billion dollars from Russia or China just prior to his presidential bid? It’s easy to guess: screaming headlines, indignant calls for impeachment, prosecution, demands for the electric chair. Every news anchor, political pundit, intelligence expert lining up to denounce the travesty with letters signed by infinite lists of former and acting national security officials, etc. And that’s for starters.

But progressive technocrat Mark Carney flies to Beijing to obtain $300M from the Bank of China four months prior to being appointed prime minister by Canada’s Liberal Party, calls snap elections, which he wins without a majority, and the media only praises him. Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre highlighted Carney’s compromised relations with China on nationally televised debates. He also pointed out how the former Bank of Canada governor and U.N. point man on climate change staunchly supported CCP-linked Liberal MP Paul Chiang, calling for goon squads to persecute opponents.

Extremist blogger to debate Harvard professor at unsanctioned campus event

An extremist blogger, who has become the Trump administration’s so-called “dark enlightenment” sage, is debating a Harvard professor of political philosophy at an unsanctioned event on its campus next week.

Curtis Yarvin, who was for a time an obscure darling of Silicon Valley and the broader spectrum of the fringe right wing, has emerged as a major philosophical influence on key Capitol Hill power brokers. He is considered a favorite of Vice-President JD Vance, an ally of the tech mogul Peter Thiel, and having the ear of senior state department official, Michael Anton, among others.

Yarvin’s outlandish politics vouching for dictatorships and a new “American Caesar”, as he discussed in a 2021 podcast with Anton, in place of liberal democracy has made him both a much-maligned and loved figure.

It’s the Guardian so anything right of Pol Pot is “extremist”.

Bad news for America doomers

Europeans wish-cast US decline

It’s once more springtime for America doomers, those who believe the United States will soon lose its global top-dog status. Much of this is in reaction to the poorly considered ramblings of President Trump. The Economist, for example, suggests that “the actual land of the free” has moved from America to Europe, with the Continent epitomizing “moral norms” on the climate, free trade, and rule of law.

These prophecies — or dreams — of America’s downfall conflate the United States, a people and place, with the US government. The difference between the two things isn’t well-understood, especially in Europe. Whoever controls the White House and Congress has an effect, to be sure, but the true power of America lies not with its elected leaders, but in the ambitions of its people, its remarkable physical endowment, and the constraints of its constitutional order (Trump is learning about that last — to his chagrin).

Canada Blocked DEA Request to Investigate Massive Toronto Carfentanil Seizure for Terror Links

WASHINGTON — A former top U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration official has come forward with explosive allegations that Canadian authorities obstructed a high-level DEA investigation into a 42-kilogram carfentanil seizure tied to a 2018 mass shooting in Toronto and, according to senior U.S. investigators, potentially linked to Pakistani threat networks and Chinese chemical precursor suppliers.

The DEA learned, after 29-year-old Faisal Hussain’s shooting rampage on Danforth Avenue—which left two people dead and thirteen more wounded—that his brother and a network with Pakistani links were connected to a historic seizure of carfentanil, a synthetic opioid 100 times more potent than fentanyl, in September 2017. The drugs were discovered in a suburban Pickering home, alongside specialized equipment consistent with a transnational trafficking operation.

The white Afrikaners lining up to accept Trump’s offer of asylum

Witkruis or Plaasmoorde Monument South Africa

Kyle believed God was looking out for him when he survived a violent farm robbery in South Africa eight years ago with only a black eye and broken ribs. The robbers failed to get the kettle and iron working, so were unable to burn anyone. Then the gun trigger jammed when they tried to shoot Kyle in the spine.

“They specifically said they were coming back for this farm … [that] it was their land,” said the 43-year-old, who did not want to use his full name. “Only afterwards, we found out that the guy that stays on the plot was actually killed … the farmhand … I don’t know what his name was.”

Kyle, a divorced father of three, is one of thousands of white South Africans hoping to take up Donald Trump’s offer of refugee status, to escape crime and what they allege is discrimination against white people.
