Undocumented students push for right to education, but Alberta noncommittal

Ariana Zapata’s favourite subject in school is social studies.

For the 13-year-old in Edmonton, this means lessons on historical societies, colonialism, how worldviews are developed and so on.

The eighth grader’s own worldview is still being built, but she has pillars in place: family, fight for what you believe in, don’t be too trusting and, critically, education is a right.

That’s why, when Zapata gets home from school every day, she passes on what she learned to her three younger siblings.

Iran orders closure of Strait of Hormuz — putting one-fifth of world’s oil supply at risk

US Carrier Group – Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, the vital shipping channel through which around 20% of the world’s daily oil flows.

The move, which could block $1 billion in oil shipments per day, is likely to send oil prices soaring.

It will come into effect pending a final decision by Iran’s Supreme Council.

A Little Late Given He’s Dead … RCMP identifies mystery man in bomb-testing near Duncan before 1985 Air India explosion

BANTRY, Ireland — Police in British Columbia have finally identified the mysterious man who helped test a bomb on Vancouver Island a few weeks before the Air India bombing on June 23, 1985.

RCMP Assistant Commissioner David Teboul told Postmedia that the previously unidentified suspect in the mass murder case recently died without ever facing charges. He said he couldn’t release the name of the man due to privacy laws even though the suspect is now dead.

Inside Operation Midnight Hammer: US dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s nuclear sites in biggest ever B-2 raid

The US strike on Iranian nuclear sites — dubbed “Operation Midnight Hammer” — was the biggest ever attack by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, and the longest flight the aircraft have made since 2001.

It also marked the first time that the US used the massive, 15-ton GBU-57 bunker buster bombs in combat, dropping 14 of them on Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites.

The highly coordinated strike took Tehran by utter surprise Saturday night, with the terrorist state not launching any attacks at incoming American military personnel, according to Chief of the Joint Staff Gen. Dan Caine.

Michael Higgins: The woke ideology that allowed authorities to sit back as children were raped

Is it any wonder this went on so long?

The horror of what can befall a society in the sway of wokeism’s toxic ideology was revealed in England this week, with a report detailing how children as young as 10 were raped on an almost industrial scale by predatory gangs, while authorities did nothing.

Social workers, police, judges and politicians were so afraid of being called racist, they allowed this evil abuse of society’s most vulnerable to flourish for more than a decade and a half.

What does striking Iran mean for Trump foreign policy — and his voters?

A Republican president enters a faraway war, despite questions about the intelligence underpinning the attack. America has been here before.

President Trump’s rise was, in part, the response of US voters to political leaders embroiling the military in unpopular foreign conflicts, especially the lengthy deployment to Iraq launched by a Republican predecessor, George W Bush, based on flimsy accounts of weapons of mass destruction.

“My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier,” Trump concluded in his inaugural address. “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”

Carney heads to Europe with military spending on the agenda

Prime Minister Mark Carney departs Sunday to meet with European and NATO allies amid heightened tension in the Middle East and mere hours after the United States joined Israel’s war with Iran.

The first stop will be in Brussels on Monday, where the prime minister is expected to sign a comprehensive security and defence partnership with the European Union.

U.S. President Donald Trump bailed early on last week’s G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., saying he was needed at the White House to deal with the evolving war where Israel is attempting to not only destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but to instigate regime change.

Carney comes bearing grifts for his EU and WEF pals.

I suspect the talk of adopting Trump’s desired goal of a 5% NATO spend is just hot air.

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans

In March, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the federal government to share data across agencies, raising questions over whether he might compile a master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power.

Mr. Trump has not publicly talked about the effort since. But behind the scenes, officials have quietly put technological building blocks into place to enable his plan. In particular, they have turned to one company: Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm.

The Trump administration has expanded Palantir’s work across the federal government in recent months. The company has received more than $113 million in federal government spending since Mr. Trump took office, according to public records, including additional funds from existing contracts as well as new contracts with the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon. (This does not include a $795 million contract that the Department of Defense awarded the company last week, which has not been spent.)

This NYTimes hit piece seems very concerned that Trump will use the program to track their precious illegal aliens or Deep State fraudsters.

The Times never objected to the FBI surveilling Catholics to my knowledge.

Sex predator can stay because home country can’t treat his mental illness

A dangerous sexual predator has been allowed to stay in the UK after claiming his home country could not treat his mental illness.

An immigration tribunal backed the Bangladeshi man’s claims that he should be allowed to stay in the UK despite his convictions for a violent sexual assault on a stranger when he was 17.

The Metropolitan Police also provided evidence that he had carried out further sexual offences in the decade since the assault even though he had not been convicted of them.

A ‘Rooftop Korean’ who defended his LA business with a shotgun reveals what it was really like during the ‘92 riots

LOS ANGELES — It’s been more than three decades since Yongsik Lee grabbed a shotgun and climbed to the top of his furniture store during the 1992 Los Angeles riots — becoming one of the infamous era’s “Rooftop Koreans.”

After protesters once again squared off with cops on LA’s streets — this time over federal raids targeting migrants — the armed vigilantes who defended the city’s Koreatown are back in vogue.

The “rooftop Koreans” became a viral punchline and meme for anyone who worried LA was descending into violence, and thought Mayor Karen Bass wasn’t doing enough to crack down.
