U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth knows something the rest of us should embrace.
For the last five years, Communist China’s military spending has grown consistently. Published reports suggest annual budget increases of 6.8-7.2%, rising from approximately $209 billion in 2021 to $246 billion in 2025. And that is only what is reported. The real numbers are undoubtedly much higher.
First up, I want to be clear that I don’t think any of you are losers. My headline comes from a movie quote, and the losers in this situation are the Democrat senators — minus John Fetterman and plus Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul — who vote against this stuff, as well as the governments in other parts of the world that want to tell us how to do our business, but more on that in a minute.

In the weeks after a mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the FBI dedicated more than 50 agents to one task: Finding the person who had planted a pair of pipe bombs near the Capitol.
Again and again, agents thought they were closing in on the culprit.
Early on, they questioned a Capitol Hill-area gym employee who had purchased the same Nike shoes as a person captured in grainy security camera footage crisscrossing the area the night before the riot. Then they suspected a man who had been spotted snapping photos of locations outside the Republican and Democratic Party headquarters before the bombs were placed there. Later, agents found an actual bombmaker — he just turned out to be the wrong one.
Federal, state and local law enforcement officers continue to target Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) U.S.-Salvadoran transnational gang members nationwide.
MS-13 was designated as a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year. The gang originated in Los Angeles in the 1980s to protect Salvadoran illegal foreign nationals but later expanded its criminal enterprise. Its members engage in “campaigns of violence and terror in the United States and internationally” and present “an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,” President Donald Trump said in a June MS-13 FTO order.
The per capita purchasing power of most American states far exceeds that of Canadian provinces, with Ontario and Quebec ranking near the bottom of the list, well behind Tennessee, Georgia, Wyoming, and North Dakota.
Ontarians are poorer on average than Americans from 43 states, including those from New Mexico, Montana, South Carolina, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Missouri, according to new Statistics Canada data and the U.S. Bureau of Economics. The data was compiled by Hub contributor and University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe, who looked at GDP per capita in 2024 for all states and provinces. Ontario ranked 48th out of the 60 states and provinces.
Be angry with Trump all you want but he didn’t land us here. The Liberal Party and their Corporate Crony’s did.
Ellis Island built a nation through law and order; Biden’s border chaos dismantled it with lawlessness, division, and the greatest illegal influx in U.S. history.
Between 1892 and 1954, approximately 12 million immigrants arrived at the now-iconic Ellis Island to enter the U.S.—or nearly 200,000 legal entries per year.
All were registered, documented, and given rudimentary health exams.
They arrived as rich and poor, white and non-white, and, without exception, legally.
With the gradual decline of such great influxes, Ellis Island finally ceased operating roughly 71 years ago.
In the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, I thought it would be prudent to upgrade my firearms collection. So, for the past two months, I’ve been in and out of my local gun shop, filling out paperwork and purchasing components for a new pistol and a new shotgun. During this period, I’ve gotten to know some of the men behind the counter, and, after one recognized me for my appearance on Joe Rogan’s show, I’ve talked politics with them.
Last week, when I went to pick up a new red-dot sight for the pistol, the conversation turned back to Kirk’s murder—with a twist. One of the gentlemen told me that he believed that the official story—that Tyler Robinson assassinated Kirk as a way to stop “hate”—was fake. I was taken aback, but after asking some questions, I realized that he had accepted some of the schizoid narratives emanating mostly from Candace Owens, who has insinuated that the official story is a cover-up.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Another Alberta separatist has travelled south of the border to woo American conservatives.
In recent months, members of the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), a separatist organization, have boasted of meetings in Washington, D.C., with senior-level officials from the U.S. administration. Now, the only political party affiliated with Alberta’s independence movement, the Republican Party of Alberta (RPA), is making its own waves south of the border.
President Donald Trump has signed a spending bill to reopen the government and end the longest shutdown in US history.
He signed the short-term budget into law just hours after the House of Representatives voted 222-209 to approve it on Wednesday night, and two days after the Senate narrowly approved the same package.
In the Oval Office, Trump said the government would now “resume normal operations” after “people were hurt so badly” from the 43-day shutdown.
In a decade-long covert operation, the U.S. spy agency dropped modified poppy seeds in an attempt to degrade the potency of Afghanistan’s billion-dollar opium crop.
In 20 years of grinding war in Afghanistan, the United States dropped a multitude of weapons from the skies: Millions of tons of ordnance. Hellfire missiles launched from Predator drones. Even the “Mother of All Bombs,” the most powerful nonnuclear bomb in existence. And, amid the more conventional projectiles, tiny poppy seeds. By the billions.
On and off for over a decade, the Central Intelligence Agency conducted an audacious highly classified program to covertly manipulate Afghanistan’s lucrative poppy crop, blanketing Afghan farmers’ fields with specially modified seeds that germinated plants containing almost none of the chemicals that are refined into heroin, The Washington Post has learned.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is cosplaying as president again, jetting off to Belém, Brazil, for the UN COP30 climate summit, where he signed a deal Tuesday with Nigeria to “fight pollution.” How that helps solve the homelessness, crime, and affordability crises in the Golden State is anyone’s guess, and one can’t help but wonder if his negotiations touched on the ongoing killing of Christians in the African country.
But what’s going on in his own state of California? Turns out the one-party cabal has been handing out commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens like they’re candy.
More than 150 illegal migrant sexual predators have been nabbed in Florida as part of a massive sweep dubbed “Operation Dirtbag,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed on Wednesday.
The sex offenders were among more than 230 illegals rounded up in the Sunshine State after being wanted for crimes including drug offenses and even murder.
Britain has stopped sharing intelligence with the US about drug trafficking in the Caribbean, in a move that risks opening a fresh rift with Donald Trump.
In a major break with its closest ally, the Labour Government allegedly paused intelligence briefings because it does not want to be complicit in US strikes on suspected drug boats in Latin America, CNN reported.
The pause came into effect in September shortly after the US began carrying out lethal strikes against boats suspected of transporting drugs from Latin America to mainland US, sources told the news outlet.
Foreign National Pleads Guilty to Smuggling Migrants From Canada Into the US
A foreign national has pleaded guilty to conspiring to facilitate the smuggling of illegal migrants into the United States, and will face deportation after serving a two-year prison sentence, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) says.
Edgar Gonzalez de Paz, 37, pleaded guilty to facilitating illegal entries into the United States at a Montreal courthouse on Nov. 6, the CBSA said in a Nov. 10 news release. The agency says Gonzalez de Paz faces a prison sentence of two years less a day.
I bet he moves more illegals out of the country than the government does.
