The View’s racism was on full display during the Thursday edition of the unfortunately popular ABC News program. Staunchly racist Sunny Hostin bitterly lashed out at the white South Africans fleeing persecution and parroted the South African president’s denials. And while they denounced America as a racist and sexist country, moderator Whoopi Goldberg defended her and Hostin’s racism.
Days before the RCMP picked up a Kitchener man believed to be planning to travel abroad to join an international terror organization, he was arrested at Pearson International Airport for allegedly making death threats to police officers, the Toronto Sun has learned.
Husam Taha Ali Al-Sewaiee, who has lived in Canada for a number of years but is originally from Yemen, was charged on April 15 after allegedly uttering threats toward officers and released on an undertaking to appear at a later date in court for that allegation.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that the bureau is leaving its longtime DC headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building and transferring 1,500 employees to locations around the country.
“This FBI is leaving the [J. Edgar] Hoover Building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” Patel told Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo in an interview set to air on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Ladies and gentlemen, we have been had.
Cast your mind back two months, to March 14. On that day, just five days after he had won the Liberal leadership, Mark Carney was sworn in as Prime Minister, at the same time appointing a new cabinet. The air was thick with talk of “new realities” and “existential crises.”
In keeping with the tone of seriousness the Prime Minister was anxious to cultivate, the new cabinet was sharply reduced in size, from the 39 ministers it had averaged in Justin Trudeau’s last government to just 24 – the smallest it had been in decades.
Coyne alert
Suggesting that Islamic culture is not compatible with Christian society, criticising “globalist” elites, claiming that immigration and certain ethnic minorities are linked to higher rates of crime, and even calling for the use of private firms to assist in deportations were all listed as evidence that the populist Alternative for Germany party is a “right wing extremist” organisation.
For a while, the razor-thin election-night outcome in Terrebonne, a riding just north of Montreal, struck many Canadians as an example of the system working as it should: Liberal Tatiana Auguste was initially declared the winner by just 35 votes; standard validation procedures flipped the riding to the Bloc Québécois by 44 votes; and then a judicial recount, triggered automatically because the outcome was so close — less than 0.1 per cent of the turnout — found Auguste had won by a single vote.
Last week, 46-year-old Charl Kleinhaus was living on his family farm in Mpumalanga province, South Africa. With its scenic beauty, wildlife and deep canyons, it’s known as “the place where the sun rises”.
His new home – for now – is a budget hotel near an American highway.
He and dozens of other white South Africans were moved to the US under President Donald Trump’s controversial policy to protect them from the discrimination he alleges they are facing – an accusation that South Africa rejects.
A harmless ditty, a sort of Negro Spiritual we’re told.

In her final testimony at a coroner’s inquest into the death of her husband, Sylvie Brosseau wept at length on Thursday as she recounted the horrors Normand Meunier suffered at the St-Jérôme Hospital before he chose to end his life with medical assistance in dying (MAID).
Meunier, who was quadriplegic at the time of his death on March 29, 2024, developed gaping, irreversible bed sores on his buttocks — over 20 centimetres in width — after languishing four days on a bare stretcher in a harried emergency room. Brosseau reiterated that the hospital failed to provide until it was too late the mattress her husband absolutely needed for his festering bed sores.
Justin Bieber said he was never a victim of accused sex abuser Sean “Diddy” Combs, who helped the young singer break into the music industry when he was just 15 years old — ending his silence on the rumor amid the disgraced mogul’s bombshell sex trafficking trial.
“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve,” reps for Bieber, 31, told TMZ in a statement Thursday night.
B.C.’s New Democratic premier and minister of health think that they can solve the province’s nursing shortage by enticing U.S. nurses to cross the border. The idea is laughable.
This week, Premier David Eby and his minister, Josie Osborne, announced that they had streamlined licensing applications for U.S. nurses, and approved a whopping — wait for it — 113 nurses to practice in B.C. This was following an online campaign with unknown costs, as per a statement Osborne provided to media.
In the past four months, the Pentagon has sent thousands of active-duty combat troops and armored Stryker combat vehicles to the southwestern border to confront what President Trump declared on his first day in office was an “invasion” of migrants, drug cartels and smugglers.
That’s not all. The military has also dispatched U-2 spy planes, surveillance drones, helicopters and even two Navy warships to surveil the borders and coasts round the clock.
The buildup of forces underscores how Mr. Trump is breaking with his predecessors’ practice of mostly limiting deployments along the U.S.-Mexico border to small numbers of active-duty soldiers and reservists. About 2,500 active-duty troops were on the border at the end of the Biden administration. Now there are about 8,600.
It’s working so naturally the NYTimes is upset.
There have been concerns about the “presidentialization” of the Canadian prime ministership for years — worries that have been exacerbated by Mark Carney’s tendency to sign Trump-style legislative orders to grant tax cuts.
Academics have suggested that the cabinet has become nothing more than a focus group for the prime minister, who instead of being primus inter pares (first among equals) is now merely primus .
On the evidence of the new cabinet’s first day in office, that may be no bad thing.
A Texas mother has been arrested for allegedly buying ammunition and tactical gear for her son who she knew was planning “mass targeted violence” at his school, officials said.
Prosecutors say Ashley Pardo, 33, was aware of her son’s obsession with violence, and “intentionally and knowingly aided” his violent goals in exchange for him babysitting his younger siblings.
On Monday, the student showed up to Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio “wearing a mask, camouflage jacket and tactical pants but left shortly after”, police said. He was later detained off-campus.

An Israeli woman on the way to a hospital to give birth was shot and killed in the West Bank on Wednesday, in an attack that Hamas applauded as a “heroic act.”
The baby boy survived after being delivered in an emergency cesarean section, Israeli health officials said, and remained in “serious but stable” condition. No Palestinian militant group took responsibility for the attack, but a Hamas spokesman praised the shooting in a statement.
