New Hampshire primary: Nikki Haley fights on, but this is Trump’s party now

Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire primary, defeating his last remaining rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

His victory means the race for the nomination is all but over, even if Ms Haley is not yet ready to end her campaign – a fact that clearly irked the former president on what was otherwise an evening of celebration.

“She’s doing… a speech like she won,” he said of his rival, who pledged to stay in the race earlier in the evening. “She didn’t win. She lost.”

Elon Musk Says Biden Administration ‘Actively Aiding Illegal Immigration’

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has sharply criticized the Biden administration’s legal actions to force Arizona to dismantle a makeshift border wall and later to allow federal agents to remove Texas’s razor wire barrier, accusing the executive branch under President Joe Biden of “actively aiding illegal immigration.”

Mr. Musk made the remark in a message on X, commenting on a post by the End Wokeness account that pointed out that the Biden administration sued both Arizona and Texas over the states’ respective efforts to bolster the security of their border communities amid record waves of people crossing into the United States unlawfully.

Trudeau announces ‘Team Canada’ approach to U.S. election

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday that he has assigned two cabinet ministers to lead a new “Team Canada” engagement to ensure Canada and his government are prepared for all possible outcomes from this fall’s United States presidential election.

“Canada-U.S. relations are fundamental for the prosperity and well-being of Canadians,” Trudeau told reporters in Montreal, where he is wrapping up two days of meetings with his cabinet.

No one pays serious attention to Trudeau at home or abroad.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberals put all their bets on campaigning against … Donald Trump

It’s retreat week for two of Canada’s top three political parties. The Liberal cabinet is hunkered down in Montreal, talking housing, cost of living, and Donald Trump. The NDP caucus is assembled in Edmonton, strategizing on how to squeeze their priorities into the Liberals’ upcoming spring budget.

And the Conservatives? They’re just sitting pretty at the top of the polls, to the consternation of their rivals, who are staring down the barrel of a 2025 election with very few options for turning the tide.

A Border Wall to the North? Republicans Want to Discuss.

Former President Donald J. Trump paved a path to the presidency in 2016 by calling for a “big, beautiful wall” along the United States border with Mexico.

His 2024 rivals in the Republican primary election, scrapping for every advantage against him, looked north.

Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, has frequently told voters that it’s not just the southern border that needs stepped-up enforcement — “it’s the northern border, too.”

Russia ‘thinks the US wouldn’t dare respond to nuclear attack’

The Kremlin has been threatening to use its warheads since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, and now a British think tank believes recent military setbacks could push it to move away from conventional weaponry

Russia would feel emboldened to use nuclear weapons during clashes with Nato troops because it believes the United States would lack the resolve to respond, a British think tank has warned.

Military setbacks in Ukraine have shaken Moscow’s confidence in its conventional forces and the Kremlin would place an increased importance on its nuclear arsenal during a confrontation with Nato, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) said.

Why Did the FBI ‘Disappear’ the Boston Bomber’s Jihadist Wife?

“They deleted her from a lot of the public records so that she couldn’t be tracked.”

I hadn’t thought about it in a while, but the Messenger went out and dug up this old story with an odd twist.

Katherine Russell pulled off a seeming vanishing act shortly after her husband, notorious Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in a shootout with police days after the bloody 2013 terror attack.

Will Canada FINALLY shut the migrant back door? Ottawa weighs forcing Mexican asylum seekers to have visas before they enter – to stop them flying in and sneaking across the US border

Canada looks poised to shut the ‘side door’ into the US by finally imposing visa requirements on Mexicans flying into the country.

A lack of visa requirements for Mexicans has turned into thousands of asylum-seekers, Quebec’s premier said earlier this week.

‘We’re looking at a whole series of options, which would include visas, of course,’ the Minister of Public Safety Dominic LeBlanc told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

We Are at War With Iran’s Mullahs

Someone should tell Joe Biden.

Each morning for the last several days I’ve turned first for news concerning the two SEALs lost at sea off the coast of Somalia, hoping—by this moment, hoping against all hope—that they will somehow be found alive. I’ve been privileged over the years to know and work with a few members of this very small and very special community. I use the word “community” advisedly. It’s a term they often use to describe themselves, and, when one listens to them talk about each other, it seems exactly right—they are a true community, one built on shared values, shared experience, shared commitment to excellence. Surely, they are already hurting deeply as they contemplate the fate of their fellow SEALs. Surely, too, they are wishing that those responsible are held to account. For these are not simply the victims of an unfortunate accident—they are the casualties of war.

Biden Threatens Netanyahu’s Drive to Destroy Hamas

The deepening antipathy of the Biden administration toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is threatening to derail Israel’s military offensive to destroy Hamas.

With every day that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) maintain their military effort to end the threat to Israeli security posed by Hamas’s presence in Gaza, more details emerge of the staggering underground terrorist infrastructure the Iranian-backed group has constructed in Gaza.

Unhappy Anniversary: Biden Killed Keystone Pipeline 3 Years Ago

Joe Biden’s war on American energy started on day one.

Biden’s first act of president was to kill the Keystone XL pipeline. Biden’s action on January 20, 2021, was part of a series of executive orders on his first day in office that revoked “permits signed over the past 4 years that do not serve the U.S. national interest, including revoking the Presidential permit granted to the Keystone XL pipeline.”
