Congress Fed Up with Canada’s Discriminatory Digital Tax

Trudeau’s government has a remarkably poor record managing the digital world.

America is running out of patience with Canada.

This time, the issue is not the northern neighbor’s refusal to meet defense-spending commitments. Nor is it a revival of the softwood-lumber problem, now entering its fifth decade. This time, it is Canada’s break from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) efforts to determine an international agreement on how to tax global tech giants.

Blame the Biden admin for Venezuelan gangs, migrants taking over Aurora, Colorado

How did members of Venezuelan gangs suddenly find themselves in Colorado’s suburbs?

The troubling conclusion: The Biden administration, in partnership with Denver authorities and publicly subsidized NGOs, provided the funding and logistics to place a large number of Venezuelan migrants in Aurora, creating a magnet for crime and gangs.

And, worse, some of the nonprofits involved appear to be profiting handsomely from the situation.

Chaos in Aurora

How the federal government subsidized the migrant madness in suburban Colorado.

Aurora, Colorado, is normally a quiet, nondescript suburb 30 minutes outside Denver. In recent months, however, the city has been at the center of a national scandal.

Beginning last year, a large influx of Venezuelan migrants, some of them members of the notorious Tren de Aragua street gang, reportedly had “taken over” a series of apartment buildings in Aurora—and unleashed terror. Last month, Venezuelan migrants were allegedly implicated in an attempted homicide, an arrest of purported gang members, and shocking security footage that showed heavily armed men forcibly entering one of the apartments. In response to the chaos, police mobilized en masse and vacated one of the complexes after the city, alleging code violations, deemed it uninhabitable.

HUNTER: U.S. rightly worried terrorists will slip over Canadian border

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. — The U.S. Border Patrol station chief was worried.

On a late summer day in 2000, he pointed to the hidden inlets along the St. Lawrence River — perfect spots for smuggling drugs, guns and people.

Of particular concern were an influx of people from the Middle East. This was a year before the terrorist attacks on 9/11 that killed nearly 3,000 people.

U.S. border patrol reports record number of encounters with illegal alien invaders from Canada

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says it recorded a record-high number of encounters with migrants between border posts on the Canada-U.S. border between October 2023 and July of this year.

It’s a pattern experts say could be a problem for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government as the question of illegal immigration heats up in a close-fought U.S. election.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) records an “encounter” in its database when it comes across someone who is inadmissable to the U.S., or when border patrol officers find someone who has illegally crossed the border into the U.S. between border posts.

China Casting the Decisive Vote in U.S. Election

The U.S. Department of Justice on September 4 announced it was seizing 32 internet domains “used in Russian government-directed foreign malign influence campaigns colloquially referred to as ‘Doppelganger.'” DOJ also announced criminal charges against two Russian media executives.

The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control at the same time designated 10 individuals and two entities “as part of a coordinated U.S. government response to Moscow’s malign influence efforts targeting the 2024 U.S. presidential election.” The State Department also took actions against Russian parties for such conduct.

Outrage at White House’s ‘Dismissive’ Attitude Toward Damning Report on China Subsidizing Fentanyl Production

A congressman, speaking exclusively to the Sun, is expressing outrage over the White House’s dismissal of a congressional investigative report finding that the Chinese government is actively incentivizing and promoting the production of fentanyl, which has greatly exacerbated America’s opioid epidemic.

The House Select Committee On The Strategic Competition Between The United States And The Chinese Communist Party released a lengthy investigative report earlier this year unveiling new evidence that Communist China — already acknowledged as a primary source of fentanyl precursors — is also directly fueling the exports of “illicit fentanyl materials” through government subsidies in the form of tax rebates to companies that produce them for use outside of China, among other findings.

Hunter and Joe must still be getting a cut.

Illegal immigrant hit with multiple child rape charges on Martha’s Vineyard — months after being freed from prison

An illegal immigrant has been arrested and slapped with multiple child rape charges in Martha’s Vineyard — just months after being freed from prison for strangling someone, federal officials said.

Brazilian national Warley Neto, 24, was taken into custody by the feds in the upmarket liberal enclave on Aug. 23 after he was indicted on five counts of raping a Massachusetts minor and five counts of enticing a minor under 16 earlier this year, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

Trevor Tombe: The Great Divergence: Canada’s economic gap with the U.S. reaches a new record

Canada’s economy has fallen behind its population growth for the fifth straight quarter, with real GDP per capita declining by 0.1 percent in Q2 2024, according to the latest data from Statistics Canada released last week.

Compared to the same period last year, per capita GDP is now down 2.2 percent. Compared to 2022, it’s down 3.6 percent. As RBC analysts correctly noted, this is a “recession-like” performance.

This downturn becomes even more striking when viewed in comparison to the United States, which continues to see gains.

Ghosts in the Machine

How is it that our country turned into some kind of theme park spook ride, a cheesy-looking haunted house of programmed frights, howling holograms, phantoms with their hair on fire, doors slamming open on glimpses of hell, ill-winds and foul odors, climaxing in a tableau vivant of death-in-life neverending?

I’m sure that this will surprise you, but you can choose to be sane. How? You take care of your business conscientiously; you steer in the direction of what is true and away from what is false; you find purpose in your existence by discovering your talents and using them in ways that do not bring harm to other people; you seek the company of kindred spirits. . . love the one you’re with. . . work hard so you can rest easy. . . express your gratitude for being here. That’s a start.

New details emerge on Iranian-backed plot to potentially assassinate Trump, Haley or Biden

Four days after former President Donald Trump came inches from death during a campaign rally, federal investigators interviewed a man charged in an Iran-backed plot to potentially assassinate the 45th president or two of his political rivals — President Biden or former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, according to an FBI document made public Thursday.

Asif Merchant, 46, a Pakistani man charged in the scheme, recounted his dealings with handler Mehardad Yousef, according to a proffer agreement released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who obtained it from law enforcement whistleblowers.
