The short version of the story is that Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh nationalist figure, was killed in Canada. According to India, he’s a terrorist. The Trudeau government decided to incite a diplomatic crisis by accusing India of killing him. But the basis for some of this crisis seems to have come from the Biden administration.
Everyone knows that a reasonable compromise is hovering over the war between Ukraine and Russia, so why are there no negotiations?
Some commentators have accused President Biden of invoking “the lessons of Munich,” in reference to the Ukraine War, and particularly of citing those lessons erroneously in his address to the United Nations last week. Meticulous scrutiny of his text discloses no reference to Munich or to the practice of “appeasement” in international relations.
Back in 2020, Antifa anarchists and BLM Marxists were torching Kenosha, Wisc., ostensibly because the police shot a black man who had just sexually assaulted his ex-girlfriend and was reaching for a knife.
Growing calls for US military to tackle migrant crisis and cartels amid chaos at border
America is facing record-breaking numbers of migrants from Latin America, Africa and beyond crossing the US/Mexico border by foot and by train creating an unenviable political task for Joe Biden as he heads into election season as all sides of the political spectrum call for action.
Donald Trump has called it in an ‘invasion’ and promised military action if he is reelected and other Republican frontrunners, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have promised to send in troops to deal with Mexico’s drug cartels while Biden’s administration continues to scramble for solutions.
In the small border city of Eagle Pass, Texas, the city’s Democratic mayor has declared a state of emergency where last week it’s thought that 100,000 people waded through the Rio Grande, the river that flows between Mexico and the US, and into the town.
As the war in Ukraine approached its first anniversary, the Pentagon’s top officer, Gen. Mark A. Milley, assessed the carnage that had followed Russia’s full-scale invasion: With more than than 100,000 soldiers likely killed or wounded on each side, he said, there was a “window of opportunity” for the combatants to hammer out a deal.
I am so sick of hearing that the United States has a “broken” immigration system. There is nothing wrong with America’s immigration system. It’s a system of laws passed by the people’s duly elected representatives that enables limited and orderly immigration. There are further limited exceptions for refugees fleeing legitimate persecution. It’s an honorable, decent, growth-enabling system.
President Joe Biden reportedly told Volodymyr Zelensky during a White House meeting this week that the U.S. will send Ukraine long-range ATACMS missiles, amid growing questions about the continued funding of the war.
In addition to the $325 million military aid package, Biden reportedly pledged during a meeting with Zelensky on Thursday to supply the war-torn country with ATACMS missiles. The long-range missiles, which can hit targets up to 190 miles away, would represent a significant upgrade for the Ukrainian forces, which currently only have missiles capable of striking at a range of around 150 miles.
A red line too much?
#10 – “There will be a hot war between the United States and Russia in the next year. They want it anyway. I don’t think we’ll win it, but that’s a separate analysis. But I think, as a political matter, they need to declare war footing in order to assume war powers in order to… pic.twitter.com/vnbhqyvdrf

The Canadian economy is headed for a rough patch. Growth has already slowed considerably. Job growth has moderated. Inflation remains stubbornly high. But the pain households are feeling today is only going to get worse.
“The path forward looks bleak,” Tiago Figueiredo, a macro strategy associate with Desjardins, said in a note.
For a while there, the economy proved more resilient than expected. The Bank of Canada’s interest rate hikes piled up one after another. Even so, the jobs market boomed, GDP continued to expand.
Rough times? Not for our ruling class.
Granting legal status to Venezuelans won’t fix the problem
Scenes of chaos on the southern border of the United States have been a recurrent spectacle of the Biden administration. But in recent weeks, the challenge has become a lot worse: big cities and small towns across the country are experiencing a significant influx of migrants.
Not only is the Biden administration turning a blind eye on the growing alliance between Iran, Russia, China and North Korea, and looking the other way on their evasions of sanctions, it is also financing the ruling mullahs of Iran with billions of dollars to put the finishing touches on the country’s nuclear program and for delivering more weapons to Russia with which to attack Ukraine.
In a newly resurfaced paper from 2012, Dr. Anthony Fauci argued that the benefits of gain-of-function research are worth the increased risk of a potential pandemic-causing lab accident.

TPS or Temporary Protected Status is one of the worst scams in the immigration system. TPS is extended to immigrants from dysfunctional countries, like say Haiti, pretty much indefinitely giving illegal aliens from those countries legal status and the ability to work. TPS has become a backdoor amnesty.
Attorney General Merrick Garland gave his best Captain Renault impression on Capitol Hill in denying a double standard in how the Justice Department investigated (or didn’t) Hunter Biden (and his father) versus how they pursue his political rival. Shocked, shocked, indeed.
Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. said he believes “100%” that President Joe Biden is at fault for the recent increase in immigrants in his border town.
The city is on the banks of the Rio Grande and recently issued an emergency declaration over the 4,000 foreign nationals that illegally crossed the river between ports of entry and under the international bridge. It is set to expire in seven days from Thursday. Salinas was asked during an interview if he faulted Biden for the sudden increase.
Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings.
Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.
I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire. pic.twitter.com/eMtLS8Z6WI
