‘Our enemy now is Canada’ Alan Dershowitz says on Israel policy

NEW YORK – Alan Dershowitz, the prominent American lawyer, had a blunt assessment about Canada and the Carney government at a recent pro-Israel gathering in New York.

“We have to understand who our enemies are. And our enemy now is Canada,” he told the Post, at the second annual Rage Against Hate conference, Oct. 27, at Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage.

Trump directs Pentagon to test nuclear weapons for first time since 1992

GYEONGJU, South Korea — President Donald Trump on Thursday morning said he directed the Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons “on an equal basis” with Russia and China, an apparent attempt to flex the United States’ military might ahead of a high-stakes trade meeting here with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

Trump’s announcement on Truth Social signaled a reversal of decades of United States nuclear policy that could have far-reaching consequences for relations with U.S. adversaries, though his post included very few details about what the tests would entail. The last nuclear weapon test in the United States was held in 1992, before President George H.W. Bush implemented a moratorium on such exercises at the conclusion of the Cold War.

Trump wrote that the process would begin immediately and was in response to other countries’ testing programs.

Troubling claims made by Zohran Mamdani after story about Muslim aunt being too scared to ride subway after 9/11 turned out to be false

New York’s socialist mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani is battling a credibility crisis after admitting he lied about a family story tied to 9/11 – and is now facing mounting questions over a series of other controversial claims about his background, identity and finances.

On Monday, Mamdani, 34, was forced to clarify his widely publicized story about a Muslim ‘aunt’ who, he claimed, stopped riding the subway after the 2001 terror attacks because she feared harassment.

The Assemblyman, who is the favorite to become New York City mayor in next Tuesday’s election, admitted that the woman was not his aunt at all.

Two men in New York convicted in ISIS financing scheme that includes Canadian connection

Two men in New York have been convicted in a financing scheme in support of the Islamic State (ISIS), a designated terrorist organization, a case which also has a Canadian connection.

Abdullah At Taqi, 26, of Queens was convicted by a jury in Brooklyn, New York, last Friday of conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS, as well as conspiring to launder money. His co-defendant, Mohamad David Hashimi, had previously pleaded guilty to all counts of the indictment.

New York Special The Democrats Choose the World Over America

Hakeem “Temu Obama” Jeffries, the House Minority Leader and a congressman from New York City, did not want to endorse Zohran Mamdani.

Jeffries especially didn’t want to endorse Mamdani in the middle of a government shutdown that his party caused by filibustering a short-term budget continuing resolution that, in a few days, will result in missed paychecks for essential federal workers and a suspension of benefits for recipients of programs like SNAP, which is what the old food stamp program has become.

To do so is to embrace a full retreat from the American mainstream.

China controls the rare earths the world buys – can Trump’s new deals change that?

US President Donald Trump has signed a flurry of deals on his Asia visit to secure the supply of rare earths, a critical sector that China has long dominated.

The deals with Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia differ in size and substance and it’s too early to assess their tangible impact. But they all include efforts to diversify access to the minerals that have become essential for advanced manufacturing, from electric vehicles to smartphones.

The agreements, which aim to lock partners into trading with the US, are a clear bid to reduce dependence on China, ahead of a key meeting with its leader Xi Jinping.

The Department of Homeland Security announced that 1.6 million people who were in the United States illegally have self-deported, and another 500,000 have been deported.

The Left is ‘Bleeding Kansas’

America again flirts with its own “Bleeding Kansas”—a cycle of partisan violence and defiance where lawless zealots are hailed as patriots and the rule of law bleeds away.

n the late 1850s, “Bleeding Kansas” was the term used to describe the escalating cycle of violence, when surrogates for the Union and soon-to-be Confederacy fought each other over whether Kansas would be admitted as a free or slave-owning state.

As the assaults and killings increased, radicals set the agenda. The logical next step was the nightmares of Fort Sumter and Bull Run.

American Christians: Heed the Example of Decimated Europe

Investigation underway after vandalism reported at church before Turning Point USA event

Those of us sitting in the pews as our bishops deliver thinly-veiled social justice diatribes must work to empower pro-Christian leaders.

Mass immigration and rising godless progressivism have resulted in a surge of hostility and violence against Christians in Europe, but the same could happen in America if American Christians aren’t careful. José Luis Bazán, a consultant to Europe’s Catholic bishops, recently issued a report on the phenomenon, documenting roughly 1,600 attacks against Catholic Churches in France and Greece, as well as similar attacks in Spain and Italy. “These attacks reflect a climate of ideological hostility toward religion,” Bazán told Catholic News Agency. “Attacks or acts of vandalism against places of worship are pandemic,” he emphasized. “We have fragmentary elements here and there, but if you put them all together, you realize the upward trend.”

Chinese and U.S. officials tentatively agree to avert 100 percent tariffs

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Negotiators have reached a framework of a trade deal to avert additional 100 percent tariffs that President Donald Trump had threatened to impose on imports from China, setting the stage for the U.S. president’s highly anticipated meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Thursday.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in interviews Sunday that constructive meetings with his Chinese counterparts led to the deal, with the delegation from Beijing agreeing to defer restrictions on rare earth minerals that were poised to harm the U.S. economy. The announcement marked a significant de-escalation of a whiplashing trade war between the world’s two largest economies, which heated up when Trump threatened to ratchet up tariffs earlier this month in response to China’s restrictions on the minerals, which are essential components in most electronics.


And from CBC – Shadow of Trump’s trade war follows Carney to Malaysia

Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Malaysia late Saturday in search of trade opportunities with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

But the question on everyone’s mind is whether he’ll get any face time with U.S. President Donald Trump, who is expected to arrive at the same gathering on Sunday.

BARBER: New Japanese PM spells further isolation for Canada

At the beginning of the month, multiple news sources hailed the 64-year-old Sanae Takaichi as the soon-to-be first female prime minister of Japan. She is the president of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). The LDP has dominated Japanese national politics since the 1950s. This unprecedented run, with only two brief exceptions, was not always based on a parliamentary majority. The LDP often formed a coalition with the Komeito Party, a socially conservative-centrist party, which is associated with the Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai. At the last minute, this long-standing LDP-Komeito coalition fell apart, and it appeared that Sanae Takaichi would not become prime minister. However, the LDP formed a new alliance with the Democratic Party for the People (DPFP). This party is considered centre-right and more conservative than Komeito. Following the new alliance, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi took office on October 21.

Trump Should Stop Sharing Intel With The U.K. Until It Punishes Chinese Espionage

The recent collapse of the prosecution in a major China spy case has unfolded as one of the most significant scandals for the U.K.’s Labour government since it assumed power last year.

At the center of this case are Christopher Berry and Christopher Cash, British citizens who both have connections to China. Witness statements from Matthew Collins, the U.K.’s deputy national security adviser, reveal that Berry was recruited by China’s spy agency, the Ministry of State Security (MSS), to gather intelligence on the U.K. parliament while he was teaching in China.
