HILLARY CLINTON
As some of you know, I was the Air Force Military Aide for Bill Clinton, lived in the White House, traveled everywhere they traveled, and carried the “nuclear football.” As such, I was always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill.
Among the military who…

ROME — Prime Minister Mark Carney says the Liberal government will present a federal budget in the fall, allowing time for clarity on some key economic and fiscal issues to emerge.
Speaking to reporters Sunday in Rome, Carney defended his government’s decision not to deliver a budget this spring, saying there is little value in rushing the process
Carney noted a new session of Parliament begins with a throne speech on May 27, but the House of Commons is due to rise less than a month later
A Danish court on Friday for the first time meted out a verdict in the first criminal case using the country’s new law prohibiting “improper treatment of a religious text.” The court sentenced Islamism critic Rasmus Paludan and one of his associates to each pay a fine of DKK10,000 (just over €1,300) for destroying copies of the Quran at Folkemødet, a civic festival aimed at fostering open debate, in Allinge, Bornholm, last summer.
In the tent of Paludan’s migration-critical political party, Stram Kurs, the two tore pages out of copies of the Quran, which Muslims consider a holy book, put the book on a grill, and let it drop into puddles on the ground.
Terra Page’s new house was the talk of her Toronto neighbourhood. That makes sense, since it was delivered on a truck.
“It was like watching a really cool giant Lego box being assembled,” Page told Cost of Living.
When Page found tree roots growing in the pipes of their 100-year-old house, Page and her family decided their best move would be to demolish the house and build anew. That’s when their contractor suggested a “prefab” house — one that would be built off-site, then shipped to the lot.
Brookfield owns a Prefab housing concern, just a happy coincidence I’m sure.
Well, the election is over, and it turns out that I was right to be sceptical of the polls. Polling which showed collapsing support for the Conservative Party, which I said over and over didn’t track with what I was seeing on the ground, was clearly wrong. In fact, the Conservative Party increased their share of the vote by more than 7 points, breaking 40% for the first time since 1988, while picking up 23 seats in parliament.
That kept the Liberals to a minority government — something the pollsters were definitely not predicting — and they only did as well as they did because the Bloc Québécois lost ground and the NDP were absolutely decimated.
New Labour thought migration could ‘modernise’ Britain and put the ‘bigoted’ public in their place.
Keir Starmer’s plan to reduce net migration, announced this week, has provoked a predictably outraged reaction among the liberal and left-ish. They have accused the UK prime minister of racist dog-whistling, likening his ‘island of strangers’ speech to Tory MP Enoch Powell’s infamously inflammatory Rivers of Blood speech. As far as they’re concerned, Starmer is just the latest in a long line of politicians to ‘toxify’ and ‘weaponise’ the immigration debate in a desperate attempt to pick up votes and appease the right-wing press.
But they’re wrong. It’s not Starmer or right-wing tabloid owners or Reform UK’s Nigel Farage who have toxified and weaponised this most polarising of issues. No, the weaponisation of immigration, the transformation of it into the most divisive issue of our era, has deeper and altogether different roots.
Former FBI Director James Comey appeared to call for the assassination of President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday, but his outburst is just one in a long line of far-left lunatics whose extreme rhetoric has laid the groundwork for violence — and assassination attempts — against conservative political figures.
The social media featured a seashell arrangement of the numbers “8647” — a clear reference to the numbers “86” meaning “to get rid of,” and “47,” the presidency number of Trump’s second term in office.
Subsidies are in the news. Two in particular: film tax credits and EV support. It’s a sordid tale of doomed subsidy competitions among governments.
Film and movie subsidies have existed for over three decades. The blockbuster Minecraft , released April 4, had brought in US$409 million in ticket sales by May 19, almost 15 per cent of total North America sales over that period. On average in the past four decades, the top 1,000 movies have generated two to three times their production costs, a handsome return to the producers who own the intellectual property rights. Big money is clearly involved, especially for Hollywood producers.
Looking at what’s coming from both the left and the right media about Jeffrey Epstein, it’s very tempting to think that both sides of the political aisle are determined to gaslight us, constantly touting the man’s evil while being careful never to let us know how that very evil affected politics in America.
When Kamala Harris picked Gov. Tim Walz as her VP pick, the media hyped his supposed Holocaust education background. We never actually did see a copy of Walz’s supposed thesis, but its thrust appeared to be an effort to decontextualize and universalize the Holocaust by removing its Jewish context and focusing on global human rights abuses.
A few days after last month’s Canadian election had delivered a minority victory to Mark Carney and the Liberal party, I got an email from someone I worked with when I lived in Virginia. They asked how I was feeling about the result, a big and complicated question.
Many Canadians I know feel immense relief at what they see as Canada’s rejection of the Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre’s, Trump-style brand. But underneath it simmers dread about what might be coming down the pipeline.
After all, a good chunk of the country dislikes (and even despises) the Liberal party. There’s the comment I heard about leaving the country if the Liberals get re-elected. The disinformation-laced lament from a small business owner about refugees and “woke” ideology. The friend who insisted Carney, not Poilievre, is more Trump-like. The Conservative stronghold of Alberta is so upset with the result it might hold a referendum on leaving the country. Danielle Smith, Alberta’s far-right premier, said people in her province are “hurt and betrayed” that Canada re-elected the Liberals. Meanwhile, Poilievre has vowed to stay on as Conservative leader, with a pending byelection to secure him a seat in a reliably Tory riding.
This poor deluded woman is happy to have reelected the same evil clowns who have run Canada into the ditch this past decade.
Drive to decolonise history curriculums has ‘gone too far’, warns report
Schoolchildren are being taught that black people built Stonehenge as part of “decolonised” history curriculums, a report has found.
The claim is made in the book “Brilliant Black British History”, which is still used in schools across the country, according to research by Policy Exchange, the think-tank.
Written by Atinuke, the Nigerian-born British author, it says that “Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came”.
A recent left-wing report argues that France needs more immigration and a strong state propaganda campaign to counter widespread feelings of national alienation.
Immigration is vital for Europe’s old nations: this is the well-known refrain of the Left. In France, it has just been reiterated in a report by the progressive think tank Terra Nova, which recommends welcoming hundreds of thousands of migrants every year to ensure the “sustainability of the French social model.” The Observatory of Immigration and Demography (OID) responded by vigorously defending the exact opposite conclusion, backed by statistics. The battle is not only ideological; it is also economic.
Dove is facing criticism after featuring a biological man identifying as a woman in a new advertising campaign.
A number of users on X shared their dissatisfaction, using the hashtag #BoycottDove.
At George’s Diner in Waco, Texas, I learned that trade and migration look a whole lot different from the U.S. southern border with Mexico than from the northern border with Canada.
It’s not a red light versus green light situation where the state is either open or closed to travel and trade. Rather, it is highly specific depending on who (or what) is crossing the border. Those who follow the rules are welcome, but those who do not should be excluded.
