Trump officials suggest ex-FBI director’s social media post was call for violence against Trump

Comey – Evil man

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday that federal law enforcement is investigating a social media post made by former FBI Director James Comey that she and other Republicans suggest is a call for violence against U.S. President Donald Trump.

In an Instagram post, Comey wrote “cool shell formation on my beach walk” under a picture of seashells that appeared to form the shapes for “86 47.”

Sorry CBC but a great many more than “Trump Officials” agree it was a call to violence by a demented Comey.

UPDATE: Trump says ex-FBI director James Comey’s ‘86 47’ post called for his ‘assassination’

Iran using criminal gangs for hit jobs abroad, court papers show

There has been a sharp rise in plots by the Iranian regime to kidnap or assassinate dissidents, journalists and political foes living abroad, according to reports by Western intelligence agencies.

These attempts have escalated dramatically since 2022, with even US President Donald Trump among the alleged targets. In the UK, police are questioning a number of Iranians arrested earlier this month on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack. The BBC understands the alleged target was the Israeli embassy in London.

And court documents from Turkey and the US – seen by BBC Eye Investigations and BBC Persian – contain evidence that Iran has been hiring criminal gangs to carry out killings on foreign soil, allegations the Iranian regime has previously denied. Iranian officials did not respond to a fresh request for a comment.

Doug Ford’s government vows to ‘protect Ontario’ from Donald Trump’s tariffs with record $232.5B budget

Woe Canada, Ontario claims to stand on guard for thee.

With the economy battered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war and unemployment rising, Premier Doug Ford’s government has tabled a record $232.5-billion provincial budget to “protect Ontario” and promote national unity.

“When all of Canada wins, Ontario wins,” Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy said Thursday in a boosterish speech that noted “it is amazing to witness the burst of patriotism across our province and our great country” in the face of Trump’s tariffs.

Tens of thousands of federal public service jobs should be eliminated, think tank says

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney should “take a page from the Chrétien government’s 1994 program review” and cut tens of thousands of bureaucrat jobs, argued the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI) in a new paper published on Thursday.

The economic think tank found that a program review like the one from 30 years ago would result in the elimination of about 64,000 federal government jobs. This would lead to a return to the pre-Justin Trudeau government per capita size of the bureaucracy and a permanent reduction in public spending of nearly $10 billion a year by 2029, MEI experts say.

COLEMAN: Canada remains in neutral while the world moves at warp speed

The world is hurtling forward but under Prime Minister Mark Carney’s ‘new’ Liberal government, Canada seems stuck in neutral. Listening to CBC’s fawning coverage of Carney’s cabinet shuffle, I was struck not by the predictable nods to gender and regional quotas, but by the breathtaking arrogance of keeping some of the Liberal Party’s most incompetent figures in power.

This shuffle signals more of the same from a party that’s governed with platitudes and failures for a decade.

Democrat ‘Election Deniers’ Try To Overturn Election Of Their Own Party Vice Chair

For years, Democrats have decried Republicans as “election deniers,” even using the phrase to justify lawfare against then-former President Donald Trump. But as it turns out, when elections don’t go their way suddenly the process is flawed and democracy is negotiable.

On Monday, the credentials committee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) voted to overturn the results of an election that led to 25-year-old David Hogg being selected as a party vice chair.

Don Braid: Quebec’s $129-billion equalization bonanza — the idiocy is finally sinking in

Grok tries hard.

Equalization has become a payoff system for keeping Quebec in Canada; and for some, an irritant that could drive Alberta out

Premier Danielle Smith raises hell with Ottawa over provincial grievances, to the joy of many Albertans and the discomfort of others.

Here’s one mammoth, nation-wrecking gripe:

Quebec has received $129.9 billion in equalization payments in the past 10 years.

Kashmir: the new rallying point for global Islamism

India and Pakistan launched a series of lethal missile attacks against one another last week. Fighting broke out after New Delhi blamed Islamabad for a jihadist assault in Kashmir last month, in which 26 non-Muslim tourists were killed. A ceasefire was announced by US president Donald Trump this week, which was welcome news after reports the administration received ‘alarming intelligence’ regarding a possible escalation in the conflict.

The fading American police officer

Considering that National Police Week is upon us and Cop City — the moniker for Atlanta’s controversial public safety training facility — is now open for business, this is not a good time to be a police abolitionist. Just a few years ago, the #Defund the Police movement had some momentum among progressives, especially in big blue cities. Now it’s all but dead. All is not lost, however, if you’re an abolition dead-ender, the type to still peddle Ibram X. Kendi at your book club or graffiti the acronym “ACAB” (All Cops Are Bastards) on the pavement of your local skate park.

In fact, the long view is looking good.

New foreign minister says Israel using lack of food as ‘political tool’ in Gaza

Newly named Foreign Minister Anita Anand accused Israel on Wednesday of using a lack of food as a political tool in its Gaza operation and urged further work on a ceasefire with Hamas, the militant group that controls the Palestinian enclave.

Israel has sealed off the Gaza Strip since early March and resumed its military campaign against Hamas following the collapse of a ceasefire deal during which thousands of aid trucks entered the enclave.
